SEVEN HUNDRED
CHILDREN join
IN PROGRAM At
SONORA school
Singing of pupils of Wash
ington school at special
Christmas program prove
one of features of holiday
season here.

Washington school, at Sonora
closed Friday, the 10Th, for the holi-
days. The closing was very remark
able and exceptionally elaborate for
a Christmas program.
The entire nineteen classes of Mex
ican children participated in the en-
tertainment which was given on the
campus. The parents of the children
must have felt very proud of their
youngsters, for it was really an in
spring sight to witness, the entire
seven hundred Mexican children with
their smiling faces and cheerful dis
positions joining as single class
for the wonderful program, which
consisted of songs, readings and vari
GUS dialogues. The closing number
of the entertainment was a dance
around Christmas tree, which was
interpreted as signal to old Santa
Claus to put in his appearance on
the roof of the school building. Laden
with treasures to gladden. the hearts
of the hundreds of children, he de-
scended into their midst and in a
pleasant and ringing voice told the
little ones assembled that he had
very much appreciated watching the
exercises from the elevated position
and admonished them to return tc
their respective class rooms where
he would be gratified to present them
his token of appreciation for their
having been so good during the year
Needless to say, the march that would
have kept time with the footsteps OF
these returning children has not beer
composed.
Each of the school children in So
nora, whether of school age or no
was given generous treat of candy
apples and nuts.
The generous distribution of pres
ents and goodies was made possible
by the gratuitous donations of the
various Sonora merchants to whom
the children, their parents and the
general public extend their hearty
and sincere thanks for the rea
Christmas which was made for the
children of Sonora.

RAY GUN CLUB Is
PLANNING SHOOT
FOR DECEMBER Is

Owing to the absence of number
of members of the Ray Gun club in
Florence, at the lake, and part of
them who attempted to get home get
ting stuck in the mud and delaying
their arrival, no shoot occurred at the
local grounds on Sunday, the 21st.
However, that only makes their desire
for shoot on the 28th more intense,
and the clay pigeons will most likely
fall easy victims on that date.
Every one is invited to attend the
shoot and participate if they so de-
sire.
A number of ladies have been pres
ent on two or three occasions and
some of them have shown remarkable
ability as "shots" and if there be
others who may desire to learn to
shoot, it will be well to appear at the
grounds at two o'clock each Sunday.

Dog OWNERS HAD
BETTER PAY FOR
LICENSES SOON

Do you care to awaken some morn
ing and find your dog missing, or learn
that a big A had barked at him, and
incidentally spoken to him for the
last time? Surely you would not
want your dog killed for the lack of
G license.
January 10th is the last day on
which the license can be had and as
Mr.. Thurman, the deputy sheriff in
Ray is legally required to dispose OF
all dogs without license, you should
obtain the license for your dog now.
The 1920 license can be procured from
the deputy at any time upon payment
of tax and if you do not want your
dogs life snuffed out, you should pro-
test him with his 1920 license.

Christmas afternoon, as In previous
years, was given over at the club house

preparing the ornaments and the tree
was in charge of the Ladies' Guild,
who, in their usual thorough manner
put this Christmas afternoon over in
fine shape and when the entertain
ment was over at the club house, each
child in Ray was remembered through
the generosity of the Ray Con club,
under whose auspices the tree was
given.
Rodeo PIeases
Doc Pardee and his troop of wonder
full ponies and the cowboys were busy
on the afternoons of the oath and 25th,
entertaining the public in the rodeo
maneouvers, some of which have not
been shown before in any rodeo pulled
off in this country.
Doc is a past master at the art of
welding the rope and those that were
privileged to see his exhibition will
not soon forget it but may continue to
wonder how it is possible to accomp-
lish such wonderful things with the
ropes and horses.
The list of entrants and with the
winners will be printed in next weeks
issue as they were received too late
prior to going to press this week.
At Sonora the big boxing bout under
the direction of the Ray Athletic club
was held on the night of Christmas
day An account of the contest appears
in another column.
In addition there were number of
private entertainments and dinners.
All in all the people of Ray had a
most enjoyable Christmas this year,
especially as the Ray Consolidated
Copper company continued it's policy
of making a donation to each of its
employees, which was thoroughly ap-
preciated.
The Ray Con club kept open house
all week and after the Christmas tree
at :he club house, the big dance ,vvg
place on Thursday evening. The Jazzi-
clans were present and this proved to
be one of the best and most enjoyable
oi all the functions put on by the club.

PUPILS OBSERVE
CHRISTMAS With
ENTERTAINMENT

A very interesting program was
rendered at the Lincoln school. The
management provided that the young
er classes should render their part
and thus progressively each grade in
it's turn was given an opportunity to
present their program, period of
about forty-five minutes being grant
ed to each. In this manner the visit
ing parents were able to hear the en-
tire program and the smaller chill
dren were allowed to repair to their
homes after their part.
The kindergarten played games and
sang songs of Santa Claus land and
enjoyed themselves in great style
around the beautiful Christmas tree
which had been prepared by the pri-
mary teachers and laden with good
things for the younger children.
The second and third grades ex-
pressed their Christmas spirit in a
similar program.
The fourth and fifth combined and
presented little play which brought
forth much applause and was very
interesting.
The sixth grade surrounded itself
in a perfect Christmas atmosphere,
rendering a delightful program and
showing intelligent preparation on
the mart Of tha nunilc
The seventh grade varied it's pro-
gram somewhat and after having rem
dered the entertainment, presented
each other with. presents, the ex-
change being by means of numbers
and draws, which in itself caused
much amusement,
The eighth grade program was as
follows:
Recitations and reading by Mamie
Snow, Mary Courty, Tillie Garcia,
Josephine Garcia, Clyde Algood, Ruth
Harris and Bernice Jones.

TEN-ROUND GO BETWEEN RALPH PENA AND AL
McMANUS OF TUCSON SHOWS RAY FANS
THAT THIS DISTRICT HAS REAL FIGHTER

Santa Claus was never kinder to Al
McManus of Tucson than he was this
Christmas, when at the end of his ten
round fight with Ralph Pena of Sonora,
thursday night, the judges declared
the bout a draw. With the exception
OF the fifth and sixth rounds, when he

ing his body blows overtime, McManus
was out-fought, out-generaled and out
classed.
1t was the general opinion of fight
fans here that Pena showed more class
than he has ever shown before and
while it was generally conceded that
ne had the hardest fight in his young
career when the tackled the hard-hit-
ting lightweight from Tucson, he came
through with flying colors and in the
tenth round he had McManus badly
worried and swinging wild. Time and
time again Pena knocked McManus to
he ropes with left and right smashes
70 the jaw and for every uppercut Nc
Janus landed on Pena's body he re-
reived four blows on his jaw.
1t took Pena two rounds to learn
to block the body punches McManus
was using and when he did learn Nc
Manus was landing his wicked smash
es against Pena's glove and not against
his body. Pena blocked everything
that started for his head and through
out the ten rounds of the fight he
scarcely missed a swing aimed at the
lron-jawed McManus. However, it must
be said for McManus that he was the
agressor throughout, but Pena intended
1t so. Since his last fight, Pena has
convinced his admirers here that he
is one of the best looking lightweighfs
for 19-year-old lad they have ever
seen, and if McManus will give him
feturn fight it is predicted that Pena
viii stop him within seven rounds. AL
80 we agree with the Los Angeles
Times that at last fellow by the
name OF Pena has been discovered who
is real fighter.
The fight, which was one of the fast
est and best bouts ever put on locally,
was attended by large crowd of fans.
Not only was Pena the local favorite,
but his excellent exhibition of boxing
throughout the contest won him many
new friends,
T McManus of Tucson was substituted
at the' last minute for Kid Lewis of
Miami, who was originally scheduled
to meet Young Pena here. Lewis was
called on Christmas eve to the bedside
! of his father, who is seriously ill in
New Mexico. When news was re-
ceived here that he would be unable to
attend, the local association made ar
rangements to stage the bout on Thurs
day night instead of in the afternoon
as at first planned, with McManus in
stead of Lewis.

 We will soon be in one of the largest cities in Germany, somewhere on the Rhine, the name of which I cannot at this time divulge. I'll let you know when we get there, however, and give you an ear-full of our experiences.
 If the food situation is desperate in Germany, fail to see it: that is, in the particular part of Germany we have thus far occupied Perhaps it is right bad further in the interior, I'll know soon. All the cellars here are full of potatoes and turnips and fruit which the Germans, with much ingenuity have found a way of preserving in definitely. In the City of Treves there was nobody starving; I saw stores chucked full of food and elaborate Win dow displays of meats and fancy gro- ceries. ] also saw great stocks of dry goods and Christmas toys. The people there seemed to have enough food left that they were not compelled to adul. terate their beer very much-it was 3 per cent or better. I know what I'm talking about, for didn't I put my foot on the rail four or five times. Yes, sir; it had the same old kick

 I also saw. at a distance, the old Roman cemetery south of the city, which we were unable to visit, how ever, for lack of spare time.
 That this city was the scene of many bloody battles and changes, was vouch- ed for by our guide. Personally, don't know much about ancient history, as I was too busy gambling" when my en- ergies should have been directed in other channels.

 l saw a strange, strange sight last night in a cafe. I saw about fifty re- gently discharged German soldiers mingling freely with our boys, and drinking to one anothers health, And to think that these men were just a little over a month ago murdering each other. This is a queer world, isn't it?
 All in all the people aren't a hun dredth as hostile as 1 had anticipated. They actually nod and seem anxious for little chat. All along the high ways we saw hundreds of little Ger man children, who invariably waved at us, as well as many winsome Gretchen who smiled their sweetest when they saw us. The men and women seem to be hiding their resentment of our in vasion with a grace I did not dream possible. Many of the Heinies tip their hats when our officers pass,

 Upon a return trip to the camping ground" the officers stopped a tiller of the soil, who was planted on load of hay. After the usual words of greet ing and authority, the state agents searched the load.s
 'Ya kind hev all the booze va find in that hay" the agrarian said.
 "Yes, we know that" remarked one
 With the aid of pitchforks, both of ficers jabbed the prongs into the hay, A third plunge revealed a concealed wooden box, the contents of which rat tied like a jared case of beer.
 Further examination brought to light 150 full pint bottles of Blue Rock, which, according to the government stamps, had been bottled in moist state in the fall of 1917.
 The t"conductor'' of the load of hay and booze met the former violator oi the prohibition law in the county jai and extended mutual greetings. "They're too wise for us ginlzs." re- marked one of the prisoners, as the

 A typical rural sage, driving an old old team of horses hitched to a farm wagon, was stopped.

 "Whar to?' replied the ruralite. "Oh, jes' up the road a ways to bury this yere dog" And he pointed to the dead body of Kaiser.
 The officers scrutinized the canine. Its bloated appearance urged closer scrutiny. They poked the body with their hands, and
