Evans, national amateur and open
champion, the answer Is in the afiir-

He claims that all persons must
agree that accidents may In one dlsas-
trous moment sweep away the work OF
years, destroying health, happiness,
ever life itself; but. Of course, this is
II fact OF possibility, not of greatest
probability. In all ordinary conditions
he believes that the race is 10 the swift
and the battle 20 the strong.

of an additional $100. % per annum for continued service is waived and the additional 25 cents per day is granted in lieu of so-called service bonus and as an offset to local con- ditions that increased cost of living in the Jerome District is above the aver age of other mining camps of the state.
 Note: As an explanation of labor's share of the recent advance of 1-2 cents in the price of copper, the pri- mary cause for the unexpected action of the war industries board was due to the 25 per cent plus increase in railroad freight rates and the increas- ed refining charges. The price was then advanced sufficiently to cover these additions to cost and the natural increase in wages according to tho sliding scale basis.
 Therefore we find that: Advance in freight increase cost 2-3 to 1 cent; advance in refining charge scost, 2-3 to 3-4 cents; pro- posed advance in wages cost, 3-4 to 7-S cents; average 2.475 cents. | It is thus seen that. the companies derive no benefit from the said ad- vance of 1-2 cents in the selling price of copper.

 All these awards CD, CD, and (3) are made effective July 1, 1918.
 This award is made in good faith in the light of available margins for labor out of the 2 1-2 cent raise in clipper with due regard to the local conditions peculiar to Jerome and Clarkdale.
 Details of the proposed building program Of the United Verde Copper Go. will be furnished in a day or two, which will meet future require. ments by guarantees to the admin istrator; this makes the department of labor joinly with the men inter ested parties as to fulf1llment.
 All other complaints can be sub mitted to the labor administrator ir the near future, especially the griev ance committee.
 This award places the Jerome dis trict on the most favored wage scale basis in the copper industry.

RA|LROAOERS ARE
 GOOD HUM0R|STS
MOST CONSISTENT TEAM IN LEAGUE, SATISFIED IN CELLAR, WHILE MECHANICS BOOST IN GARRETT.

There is one thing about the Rail- road Office ball team that deserves comm endation, they are consistent, if not winners. Since the Commercial League was born several weeks ago the teams have fought for first place that is, all but the Railorad office team fought for first place. That team was apparently satisfied with the cellar, for they dropped in there after the first game and have been there ever since. As ball players the Railroad team are good humorists.
 Another team has been almost as consistent as the Railroaders, that is the Shelter team. They were house guests of the Railroad team until last Monday night. Then the two teams had a falling out, and when the smoke had cleared away the Shelter team had won game, and the Rail- roaders were still languishing in hap py lassitude in their dugout.
 Thursday night. after having the General Office team beaten, they apparently became alarmed at their prospects and threw the ball away at crucial times, thus earning the right to be called the most consistent and cheerful losers in the county.
 The Mechanics are still maintain ing their lead, not having lost game. The Cubs are threatening to get the Mechanics when they meet again, but there is a large field for specula- tion; for the Mechanics can play ball, while there is still some doubt as to the ability of the Cubs.
 The crowds continue to grow, and with five weeks of the season left there should be some highly entertain

GREENLEE THIRD
 IN W. 5. $. SALES
COUNTY. AGAIN TAKES FORMER PLAcE-NoW $7,137 SHY OF HALF OF QUOTA, TWO MILLION SOLD.

For brief spell Greenlee was humiliated by having dropped from third to fifth place among Arizona counties in the sale of War Savings Securities. This was before the re- turns were sent in August first. We did not have to remain under that stigma for long, as the last returns show that Greenlee is still running strong third, and cannot be class ed in the "also ran." The county's quota in w. s. S. sales is $377,SS3, and sales reported up to August 1st being $1S1 1903. just s7,137 shy of half of our quota, the ratio being $9. .C2 per capita.
 Apache county is bringing up the rear in the sales of war securities $12.46S only has been reported, ans. her per capita ration is only $1 .27. /. Yavapai still holds the lead with re- ported sales of $2S1,317 and a per capita ration of $18.98.
 The director sends out the follow. ing report accompanying the stand. ing of the fourteen counties in the sale of War Savings Stamps:

 Arizona has passed the Two Million Dollar Mark in the sale of W. S. S. On August first from reports of the Post Offices and banks in the state to the State Directors office, the figures show $2,029 ,019.00 maturity value sold. Over Four Hundred Thousand Dollars worth Of stamps were purchas ed in July which, considering the weather in some parts of the State was very good. Cochise county sold over One Hundred Thousand Dollars worth. Greenlee, Coconino and Gila counties also made creditable show ings. re
