GOOD WORK RY JUNIOR R. c.

MESA, April 23-One hundred ana forty-five cans of fruit and glasses of jelly and fl boxes of flowers vert shipped to Ft. Whipple, Prescott, Sat urday by the Junior Red Cross. The fruit was first shipped to Phoenix there to be transshipped to the desti- nation. The school children have re- sponded most nobly to the call for fruit and flowers for the sick soldiers. The flowers were most beautiful, and a bouquet placed near the cot of the boys who have made tremendous sac rifices will remind them beautifully that others are thinking of them.

U. s. GOVT. WITHOUT HEAD


 U. S. GOVT. WITHOUT HEAD | PHOENIX, April 23.-On the after noon of April 90, 1919, the Uniteu States of America was for a period of several hours absolutely without any nominal head of the government. President Wilson was in Paris, Secre- tary of State Lansing, third in com mand, was also in the French capital. and Vice-Pres. Thomas R. Marshall. second mate of the ship of state. was over in Juarez, Mexico, under the chaperonage of A. A. Betts of this city. Thus for the first time in the history of the United States the president. the yice-president and the secretary of state were all absent from the terrain over which floats the red, white and blue.
 The absence of Wilson and Lansing was of course necessitated by their participation in the peace conference, vut Vice-President Marshall happened to stray away from the home land principally because Corporation Com missioner Betts discovered the vice president and his-wife in Fl Paso the Marshalls being on their way back to Washington after their sojourn in the Salt River valley, and their arrival in the Pass City having been prior to that time unknown to the local resi- dents.
 Betts, who was in Fl Paso after hav- ing attended the w. O. w. convention at Deming, New Mexico, happened on- to the vice-president in a manner quite unexpected, and at once proceed ed to wise up the Fl Pasoans to the fact that they had a distinguished citizen within their gates. A luncheon was hastily arranged for at the Shel- don hotel, and following this affair, it was decided to take MT. and Mrs. Marshall over the line into Juarez, the vice-president having never before visited that Mexican metropolis. The Mexican military authorities were overjoyed at being given the privilege of entertaining the American official and his party, and upon their arrival across the border General Mora, t:.u federal commander, personally took charge of the party and entertained the visitors in a lavish manner. A band concert by one of the finest con cert organizations south of the line completed the affair, and following the return to the United States the Mar shalls resumed their eastward trip, Mir. Marshall being billed to deliver a loan speech at Dallas this evening. Betts came on to Phoenix, arriving here this morning.

COPPER OFFICIALS LEAVE

CLIFTON, April 23.-Three mem bers of the board of directors of the Arizona Copper company, Ltd, the headquarters of which is in Edinburgh, Scotland, having spent two weeks in an inspection of the company's mines and plants in the district, departed yesterday, accompanied by General Manager Norman Carmichael.
 The personnel of the party included George Readman, chairman of the board of directors; Alexander Me Nabb and Sir David Paulin, members of the board.
 MT. Readman, chairman of the board, stated that as a result of their visit, they would recommend various improvements to the board, and that General Manager Carmichael would no doubt soon be able to make them public, although it must be realized that the present is not an opportune time for heavy expenditures and ex- pansion in their copper industry for the reason that the copper product was practically unstable and was be- ing piled up by the producers await ing a return of normal pre-war condi- tions.
 Mir. McNabb stated that the labor situation in Great Britain was a prO1- lem to be worked out carefully and considered the unrest and unsettled condition in that country greater than in the United States, and insofar as the high cost of living is concerned, he had learned since his arrival in the United States, that even wearing ap- parel can now be bought cheaper in New York than in London.
 Although the coming of the direc- tors did not have any bearing on the matter, while they were in the dis trict the Metcalf mine of the com pany, located at Metcalf, as well as the Coronado, were completely closed down. The closing of these mines was | followed by the shutdown of concen- trator No at Clifton, which handles ore exclusively from the Metcalf. This action on the part of the A. c. com pany at Metcalf was preceded several | weeks ago by similar action on the
 part of the Shannon Copper company,
 with the result that with the exception
 of some work being done on claims
 by leasers, the Metcalf mining distric; | is idle and several hundred men are out of employment.

DREW'S QUOTA FOR
 VICTORY LOAN S238, 300
$Sl5.l00, Less Than Was Asked In The Fourth Liberty Loan When Drew Was Among The First To Go Over The Top.

The quota of Drew county for the Victory Liberty Loan has been fixed at $238,900. The amount of the Victory Liberty Loan is limited to $4. 500,000,000, according to the official statement of Secretary of the Treasury Glass.
 Victory Liberty Notes will bear a four and three quarters per cent interest. The notes will mature in four years, but the Government retains the option to retire them in three years.
 The notes are free from nor nal tax. They are interchang- cable any time before maturity for three and three-quarters per cent non taxable notes.
 There will be no oversub- scription. The Treasurey will allot all subscriptions up to $10, 900 and over first. The notes will bear the date of May 20. The first interest date is Dec ember 15 and semi-annually thereafter.
 Financiers characterize the terms as excellent for the in- vestor and the prediction is made that the quota for the Eighth District will be sub- cribed quickly. The campaign opens April 21 and closes May 10.

 Don't crawl under or be- tween cars.
 Don't cross track without looking to see if train is coming.
 Don't throw at glass in- sulators on telegraph poles. Accoring to government re- ports there have been 86,733 trespassers killed and 94,646 injured on the railroad of the United States during the past twenty years, which have been classified as follows: Young people under IS years of age, residing in vicinity of accident, many of them under 10 years of age, 25,000; citizens of locality in which accidents occurred, mostly wage earners, 120, 103.
 With these figures in mfnG. the railroad employees are ask ing the cooperation of the gen. eral public especially parents, school authorities and aut- omobilists to assist in educat- ing people to the importance of using care about railroad tracks and trains, so that this terrible drain upon the nations economic and social resources can be stopped. There is noth- ing so precious as human life and to sacrifice it needlessly is nothing short of criminal.

RECEPTION OF TANK
 IS ENTHUSIASTIC.
Thousands Watch with In- terest Whippet T Ink k- Speakers Hold Crowds Spell bound.

The Sabbatical quietness of Easter was broken last Sunday by several thousand people gathered on the court square to see the war machine that the government had on exhibit.
 Although this tank was not bullet-scarred relic from the war swept field of France it was none-the-less interesting to all present.
 It disillusioned many who thought that this marvellous war machine was q bulky monster that moved in a slow and awkward manner. 1t was more easily managed than an automobile but decidedly more indifferent as to the terrain. An average sized sycamore tree in front of the old Laud Build ing was ridden down with as much unconcern as tho it had been only a Hun. It had it's limitations, however, and one (taking the date for April 30th)  upon asking how high it could fly found to his disgust that it's field of opperation was restrict ed to mother earth.
 Hon. Patrick Henry, one of Monticello's ablest lawyers, de- livered patriotic address and introduced the crew who man. ned the tank, all of whom had seen service in France, Sgt. Richer, a member of the crew. and Capt. J. w. Meehan of this city told some of the thrilling experiences that they had over seas, concluding with an appeal for liberal subscriptions to the forthcoming Victory Loan.
 The train was met at the station by an immense crowd of people. MT. V. J. Trotter, chair man for Drew county, had charge of the reception.

RAILROADS PLAN
 NO ACCIDENT MONTH
Officers And Employees Trying To Make MissOuri-Pacific The Safest Railway System In The Country.

MT. B. F. Bush, Regional Director of the Southwestern Region has set aside the month of May as NO ACCIDENT MONTH on the railroads in this region. Through the efforts of the Safety Section of the Unit ed States Railroad Admins tration no-accident campaigns have been conducted with splendid results in a number of regions throughout the United States. The railroad man who takes chances of injuring him. self or others now is exceed ingly unpopular with his fellow workmen, who arc striving to break all records by making their particular railroad safe, not only during the no-accident month but all the time,
 The Missouri Pacific Rail- road, through it's officers and employees are making strenuous preparations for making that road the safest in the country, as we'll as to lead the other lines in the Southwestern Re zion in accident prevention. Safety committees, composed of division officers, trainmen, section men, shop men and others representing every de- partment of the service are touring every mile of the road calling attention of all employees to the necessity of using care in the performance of their duties. They are also inviting the schools urging the children to be careful and not play around railroad tracks and cars where their lives are in danger.
 When we consider the fact that 1,777 persons were killed and 1856 injured in highway crossing accidents during the year 1917 in the United States it would appear that Safety is a question to be considered by the general public as well as the railroad employees. With con- stantly increasing number of automobiles using railroad cros- sing daily the death loss has become appalling and the gov ernment is appealing to auto drivers to exercise care, to stop, look and listen at all railroad crossing. Most of these accidents can be prevent ed by the exercise of care. Safety First is slogan that the public can adopt with pro- fit as well as the railroads.
 The parents and school authorities are also being urged to assist in the education of children along Safety First lines. In 1917, n children un- der IA years were killed and 70 injured playing around rail road tracks, 62 children be- tween IA and 21 were killed and 50 injured. 991 adults were killed and 610 injured walking on railroad tracks during the same year, not including the 189 tramps killed and 48 injur- ed during the same period. Cards have recently been plac- ed in all the schools in the nine states through which the Missouri Pacific operates with the following advice to children.
 Don't walk on railroad tracks or bridges.
 Don't play around railroad stations or cars.
 Don't hop on or off cars or
