ARE YOU AN A-b?
 F NOT WHY NOT.

Are you an Alb? Have you signed up for the duration of the war? If not. join now.
 The full title of the Abs is the Anti bellyache Society. It has fea- lures that attract. aside from it's ob- Ject. The society is unincorporated, has no directors, no dues, no officers nor offices, and holds no annual ban quet. Its flower is the peppermint, and it's object is to discourage war time bellyache.
 To belong, all you have to do is to your pocket, take the card out once in a while and look at it.
 The card contains the following pledge:
 National A-B Pledge
 I avow the belief that even I could not run this war and please every body
 That war must necessarily inter- fere with some peaceful occupations and pursuits:
 That all men should help as much as possible and complain as little as pos sible-that they should :" can the bel lyache."
 Therefore. I hereby join the Anti bellyache Society and thus becoming an Alb (Anti- -bellyacher) pledge my self: to refrain (so far as possible) from. and to discourage bellyaching for the term of the war; to get new members whenever possible; to impose on myself fine, payable to the American Red Cross, for each belly ache of which I may be guilty.

REDCROSS NETS
 MUCHFROMJUNK
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-If the junkman can make a comfortable liv ing by collecting abandoned material, the Red Cross believes it also can go into salvaging business and make ad- ditional money for it's support. In fact, the Red Cross salvage department be- lieves that something more than one hundred million dollars a year can be cleared if the people of the United States will help.
 The annual spring house cleaning and attic rummaging which reveals discarded books, papers. magazines, hats, shoes, overcoats and a thousand and one other things which usually are thrown out all have a salvage value It is believed the great sum mentioned can be realized if everyone in this country contributes daily one third of d cents worth of what generally Is termed rubbish"
 And so the Red Cross has gone into the business. It already has a number of junkshops in various parts of the country which are the beginnings of d great chain of these stores which will dot the entire country. George B. Ewing, who has been loaned to the Red Cross by the United Steel Products company has just returned to San Francisco from a series of one night stands throughout the northern part of the state, where he has established forty different salvage shops.
 According to MT. Ewing it amply has been demonstrated that the proposition is a paying. one. The salvage store in Placerville since last February has been averaging for the Red Cross war fund from s60 to s70 week. In Red Bluff the average is about the same In Merced there is a flourishing con- cern that has brought the Red Cross over $1.000. Through all of the valleys and hills of the coast range and the Sierras every town of consequence has gone into the salvaging business.
 In small towns the Red Cross sal vaging shops have become place of hidden treasures for lovers of antiques Placerville, for instance, has beauti- full old rosewood piano and some splendid Sheffield plates. Another old town has some pieces of majolica ware and some finely woven rag rugs that motorists have been very happy to pay a good price for.
 Red Bluff does not confine itself to salvage, The farmers contribute to the shop daily fresh eggs, fruit, cheese. butter, vegetables and chickens. There IS also tea room in connection, ar ranged so attractively that the towns people. from the high school girls to the club women, engage it weeks ahead for meetings and parties.
 The Sacramento salvage shop has a corps of S5 women who work in re- lays. coming early in the morning ana | serving ds clerks until o'clock at night. The returns of the shop amount to $200 a day. The salvage workers are assisted by the Sacramento mer- chants, who send their advertising men over to write their ads, and their window dressers to make suggestions about dressing their windows. The salvage shop also gets dray loads of shop worn stuff from the differen, stores which it sells at it's own price.
 Los Angeles has made over S100, 900 in eight months out of it's salvage shop and San Francisco. with only the be- ginning of what intends to be a biz establishment. clears s3,000 d month.

NEGRO |S HELD ID
 COURT FUR TRIAL

Emanuel B. Scott, the 63-year- old negro who is alleged to have stolen a kiss from Mrs. Florence Blendinger, a 17-year-old white woman, was bound over to the superior court yes terday by Justice De SouZa on the charge of aggravated assault.
 Demonstrating in court how the big negro kissed her the little chilo- wife of the rancher, stood behind Harry Johnson, county attorney and lifting hlS chin with her two small hands, said that Scott had walked up be- hind her in that manner and tilting her head, had kissed her on the mouth.
 He had come into the house from the cook shack to deliver some raisins for which she had asked and in leaving he had said I'm going to steal something" then he told Mrs. Blendinger not to tell anyone, she said.
 In telling her story. the witness said that she had repeatedly ordered the negro from her house. He had been employed to cook for the men in the fields and had before this instance come into her presence against her express wishes.
 She's a very peculiar little child and I'm sorry for her. said the negro of Mrs. Blendinger when he took the stand. He declared that Mrs. Blen- dnger was not reading on the porch as she stated when he approached but was drawing pictures. The one she showed him was of two figures, man and woman, and beneath it she had written her name. Emmanuel said that he took it and adding his name had then kissed it.
 Tt was just playing he said. He had told Mrs. Blendinger mot to tell | anyone" but that had to do with giving her some fatherly advice about the Blendingers who had been very nice to him and he did not care to have it appear that ne was mixing himself up with family affairs. He | let it be understood that young Mrs l Blendinger and the Madame moth erin law were not altogether con- genial.
 He was questioned by MT. Johnson about his familiarity with other white women, which he strenuously denied
 q have never been familiar witt any white woman or any yellow woman" he stormed, and when con | fronted with the fact that he haC | been convicted in that very cour with making an improper proposal tC a white woman less than a year ago | he claimed that she was a Mexican
 Anyway. I had to take what you give me-" he said still protesting his | innocence in the former affair.
 Emanuel had been charged witt disturbance of the peace in this ac- | tion but after hearing the testimony Justice De Souza held him on al aggravated assault charge and placed | his bond at s2,000.

 ROAD COMING UP

Contracts have been let for the grading of the Douglas Bisbee road and work will be started on at least three points on the road this month. This work is preliminary to the pay ing of the entire 27 mile stretch between Bisbee and Douglas, which when completed, will make one of the finest pieces of road construction in the United States.
 The work was made possible by the issuance of $1.000.000 of road bonds, of which the Phelps Dodge corporation subscribed $500000. The attitude of the mining companies toward the question of road improve ment has been greatly appreciated by the people of Cochise county, par ticularly as they recognize that prob- ably so per cent of the money neces- sary for these roads will be paid in the form of taxes by the company.

RANGE CONDITIONS
 SOMEWHAT IMPROVED

R.. c. Grant. meteorologist. with headquarters in Phoenix, in his last report on livestock and ranges in Ari- zona and western New Mexico, said:
 During the past week beneficial showers occurred over the northeast ern plateau and in many of the east ern and southern mountain districts Improving range conditions are report ed generally from the northern and central portions of the state and from many localities in the southeast. How ever, there are still large areas in Gra- ham and Cochise counties where the drouth is unbroken.
 Crop Progress in Arizona The high average temperatures were favorable for the growth of vegetation,
 especially in the northern districts where warm nights are necessary in
 order to bring crops to maturity before early frosts. On tie southwestern ir- rigation projects there was no inter ruption to the cutting. and shipping of alfalfa, cotton is in bloom and it's cul- tivation completed, and the main can
 taloup crop is being shipped.
 The harvesting of winter wheat and | barley, wherever grown, is now prac- tically completed. In the northern
 counties spring wheat and oats are
 now heading. and potatoes, corn and
 beans are advancing rapidly.
