MERCHANT WILL
 HELP WAR WORK

Tonight promises to be one long to be remembered by Phoenicians, and from all indications good part of the activities in bond selling will center around the corner of West Adams and First avenue, where Walter SwitZer of Switzers Style shop has arranged to have an elaborately decorated float for the purpose of selling Liberty bonds. On the float will be a number of the cleverest volunteer saleswomen of the campaign who, to the music of the Green & Phoenix Jazz band. will put forth their very best endeavors in the last great whirlwind finish of the third Liberty loan drive. To further assist them in making a record number of sales MT. SwitZer has offered the fur ther inducement to bond buyers at this booth, of one dollar contribution to the Red Cross, the Y NJ. C. A. or any other war time charity for each and every bond sold regardless of size.
 This plan is not original with me, said MT. Switzer but was worked in New York city by one of the large business houses there. and during one evening they contributed s20,000. fully expect that my bank account will be proportionately smaller tomorrow night, for l know that the people of my native state are second to none when it comes to real patriotism, and if my contribution to the Red Cross is S20O I shall feel proud of those who avail themselves of my offer and determine for me just how much I shall give, but no matter how much it is l shall be glad, for this is one time when we should have but one real aim and that to win the war, with our lives or our money or both. My nephew is with the forces in France willing to give ur his life for me and all Americans which brings the gravity of the situa- tion right home, and I feel that every cent that I can invest will not only help win the war but is a protection for the lives of my self and my family and a protection for my investment here in the Salt River valley. So far il has porven a good one, but it would no be, were the Germans to have theil way"

''Y'' WORK GETS
 PROMP I BACKING

In these times of Liberty bonds, thrift stamps and other essential and urgent demands upon the purses of the people of the Salt River valley to raise 5000 in about five minutes for '. M. c. A. foreign work is considered a ten strike by "Y' officials, and they are grateful. according to J. o. SeXson, secretary of the Phoenix Y. M. c. A. yesterday.
 This 5000 came as the result of a recent dinner and talk by J. M. Clin- ton. an international foreign secretary. This dinner was attended by 20 of the most prominent men in the valley. The dinner was given at monday at the Y. NJ. C. A., and because these men were busy all talks were made short. Mir. Clinton told of the work of the '. NJ. C. A. in foreign countries the past 15 years. He said these had been years of planting, especially in China. Jap an and tie South American countries, and that the seeds planted were large ly responsible in bringing these na- tlons together in the present allied movement against the Germans.
 MT. SeXson said yesterday these prominent business men were not urged to aid in carrying on the work, but that, simply, the value of the work was presented.

JURY IS QUICK IN
 BRINGING VERDICT

It took a jury just ten minutes to find W. A. Benson guilty of aggravated battery.
 The case tried in Judge Stanford's court went to the jury at 4:30 o'clock and only few minutes later the bailiff announced that the verdict had been reached. Benson will be sentenced at 9:30 o'clock Monday morning.
 The crime for which he was convict- ed was committed last February when he struck J. B. Tosh with a club. As a result of the blows inflicted by Benson, Tosh was confined to the hospital for several weeks and even yet has not thoroughly regained his strength.
 The men are both sheepherders and were engaged in their work on the banks of the canal when a remark made by Tosh is said to have dis pleased Benson. whose sole defense was tliat he had been threatened at various times by the complaining witness.
 Robert Jarrott and Harry Johnson. assistant county attorneys, represented the state and J. J. Cox the defendant.
