If you can't find "a five" look in your own pocket
A SHORT SIGHTED POLICY.

We learn with regret the mental attitude assumed
by member Of the Pna County board Of supervisors
when the request sent by the citizens Of the
ty of Ray that the supervisora body offer reward for
the capture of the slayer of Officer Joe Donaldson We
informed upon credtable authority that members
Of the board favored the offering of the reward but under
three members Joined in issuing the proclamation.
The community of Ray neither expects nor demands,
nor receives in any just proportion from the county gov
ernment for that which contribute to the contys sup
port 65 per cent of all the taxes paid into the county
treasury paid property located at Ray This
cent Of the road fund.- the school fund.- the general
fund.- and all the special funds collected generally Pna
county are paid by the of property in this vicinity
In return for this 65 per cent the county authorities
have stationed at Ray and maintain at the countys
pense Constable Lewis Charles Henderson, and part of
the salary paid Mr. Webster the total monthly salaries
paid for the protection Of the property in this community
by the county of Pna and from county funds being only
$500 month. 1t is high time the supervisors woke up
1t Ray is to foot the bs then in the of fairness
let the county bear their just proportion of protecting
property and lives.
Officer Donaldson met his death while in the act of
safeguarding the homes Of residents of Sonoratown His
death is to be especially depored because Of the endeavor
the part of the Sonora Mexican population to remain
peaceful and awabding Carrying concealed weapons
serious crime against the peace and dignity Of the State
OF Arizona 1t inexcusable that the county super
visors should say, the backward member should
refuse to give just and suitable reward for the capture
OF the slayer of peace officer with such commendable
record as was borne by Officer Joe Donaldson.

.P|NAL COUNTY TAGGING BEHIND
IN PURCHASE OF WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS; BUY MORE BABY BONDS

That Pinal county will have to get
r hump on, if her record as the ban
ner county of Arizona is to be main
tanned is shown BY the report of the
Arizona wer savings committee of the
amounts to be raised and the amounts
collected up to May 8. With popu-
lation of 9.96S and a quota of $199,36O
to be raised, the people of this county
had, up to May 8, invested only $780,
p92 in war savings stamps, or an aver
age of only $3.04 each. To raise the
quota assigned to this county it will
be necessary for every man, woman
and child in the county to invest $40
in war savings stamps, or over six
times as much as has been taken up
to the present time.
War savings stamps afford the SAT-
est possible investment for small saw
ings. They are, in effect, five-year
notes of the United States government

RAY K. OFP. LODGE
IS 1000 AMERICAN

That Ray lodge, No. S3, Knights Of
Pythias, is 100 per cent American as
well as one of the livest lodges in the
state was fully demonstrated when,
on May 9, the fourth anniversary of
the lodge, one of the most pleasing
lodge ceremonies ever witnessed in
Ray was held. The honor roll cere-
mony, recently published in the Pyth-
ian Star, with several new features
introduced, was impressively rendered
by the following officers of the lodge
in full regalia: c. Benton Ebaugh, c..
c.; G. E. Morgan, U. c.; L. H. Orig.
gers, prelate; e. V. McPoil, M. V.
Angle, M. A. Wald and Ed Lilly, es-
corts.
The following fourteen members
were placed upon the U. S. army roll:
E. e. Borrowdale, George Bergstrom,
T. G. Carney, Harry Canning, John
Ensch, E. Greening, V. A. Herman,
Robert Laing, w. r. Price, G.. R. Rob-
inette, A. Steele, w. Whitehead, w.
Wampler, c. E. MILAN. AS there is
also number of members of the lodge
who are employed in the shipyards
throughout the country, Ray lodge,
No. 33, feels proud of it's record of
service as over 2O5 of it's membership
is now serving Uncle Sam.
The anniversary celebration which
followed was also original and pleas
ing. A large cake representing the
official button design, or triangle, was
brought in and placed on the altar. A
large canopy of similar design, the
emblematic design, was explained by
the chancellor commander.
The blue, yellow and red candles,
representing friendship, charity, and
benevolence, were then lighted by Of
ficers in corresponding colored rega-
liza. Mr.. j. A. Gilbert, grand prelate,
and one of the most popular and eff
cient officers in this domain, was here
introduced and gave very interest
ing address upon the advent of Pythi-
anism in Ray, and the purpose and
history of the order in general. Mr..
Gilbert is an able orator and gave one
delivered to the local lodge.
To Mr. William Atkinson and his
very efficient musical organization,
the Ray Con. band, must be given
credit for the very pleasing musical
program. After refreshments were
served, the floor was cleared and
dancing indulged in.

LADIES' GUILD TO
y ADOPT WAR WARD

For many years the Ladies' Guild
has been an important factor in the
social and religious life of Ray, and
now to cap the climax of its charita-
BILE activities, it has adopted a war
ward and thus established bond be-
tween the battlefield of Picardy and
the mining camp of Ray. In imagin-
alton, we are somewhere in France"
Out of the mud and slush of the
trenches, "over the top" springs sol
dier of France. Steadily he pushes
his way through a cloud of poisonous
vapor. On through the wire entangle-
ments, through liquid flame and shot
and shell; on to the Great Adventure.
On to a soldiers death. From the
grim and CHASTITY reality of No Mans
Lana he passes into the land of eter-
nifty as becomes a soldier of heroic
France-serene and unafraid, leaving
behind little helpless orphan girl.
The little daughter of such a hero
will be the war ward of the Ladies'
Guild.
Mrs. Steiger, the president of the
Ladies' guild, was the originator of
this idea She believed that any sur
plus cash at the disposal of the guild
could not be put to better purpose,
and at regular meeting of the guild
the matter of the adoption was warm
" received and enthusiastically car
ried. Under arrangements made with
accredited authorities in New York,
Ehe guild pays SIS year to be de-
voted to the care and welfare of the
soldiers child. The guild binds itself
,nly from year to year at its option,
nd will be in constant touch with
he childs guardian, and will be regu-
arly informed as to it's material ad-
Tancement, etc. If any of the ladies
esire to contribute anything in the
Fay of clothing, etc., to their ward,
here will, of course, be no objection.
ut, on the contrary, will be gladly
ccepted.
AS in the case of the Red Cross, the
tay soldiers tobacco and comfort kit
lnds, etc., the Ladies' guild, as ever,
oints the way to the citizens of Ray.
