GUARDSMEN WILL
RESENT EP|THETS

Titles Of ''tin soldiers home
guards boy Scouts or other similar
epithets addressed to members of Com
panles L and M, Fourth Tennessee ma
tional guard, while marching through
the streets Of Memphis win be resented
in the future, according to capt. Abe
Waldauer. II am not discrediting the
Boy Scouts by any means, but when the
members Of the state militia, many of
them veterans OF the world a are
drilling or marching through the streets,
they don't like for a lot Of Jelly beans
standing on the corners to refer to them
as tin soldiers.

going to have the men Of my company

made the remark Is going to get a beat
ing then and there" Capt, Waldauer
said, "We are not looking for applause,
but tho state militia should receive the
support Of the people Of Memphis,
an times like these when strikes,
riots and general unrest Is prevalent
throughout the state and nation, 1t be-
hooves the citizens GENERALLY to lendFits
support tol the organization that will
beaF the brunt of the work and hard
ship In the event of trouble,
Many OF the men In the militia saw
active service overseas and some were
wounded in action, and even those who
were not overseas nave, Dy JoIlnns lut
sttae militia, volunteered for duty that
may at times prove very dangerous, and
when some silk -shirted jelly bean hang
ing on q street corner for the sole pur-
pose of criticising refers to the men as
tin soldiers or home guards he is go
ing to get into trouble then and there.
Furthermore" said Capt. Waldauer
such action Is In violation of an act
OF the congress adopted In 1907, which
forbids Interference with military drill
or instruction."

Lane Is Advocating
Bigger Interest Of
Church In Affairs

LAKE GENEVA, Wis, Sept. a.
Greater interest by the church in social
and economic questions was suggested
today by Franklin X. Lane. secretary
of the interior, in a message to the
New Era conference of the Presbyterian
church of the United States. (which Is
discussing a f~ive-year church program
to meet after-the-war. problems and
conditions, These questions, the sec

would be studied neither from the
standpoint of justifying conditions
which exist nor from the standpoint Of
creating an ideal society,"
THE world wants progress" he
said. land does not hope for a full real
ization Of the golden rule today, but
II must move steadily and definitely in
that direction"
Secretary Lane suggested that the
conference appoint committees ito re-
port authoritatively' on the following:
How can profit sharing be most
simply and easily effected In industry.
How fan should workers be entrust-
ed with control of managerial policies!
Cannot a movement be started to
remove large industries and small from
cities into towns and villages where
the workers could have their own
homes?
How may the social advantages OF
the city be provided in the country?
How may illiteracy be stamped out"'

NEW SIGNS ARE
PROMISED FOR
DANGER POINT
Intersection of Roads Below
School Building to Be
Marked So as to Avert Ac-
cidents in Futre, Say Super
.vlSOrs.

After the accident to the little Nor
rison girl the early part of the week,
a Copper Camp representative laid
before one of the Supervisors the ne
cessity for more adequate protection
Of the school children at the inter
section of the roads just below the
new school building.
There is no question but what all
concerned are perfectly willing to CO.
operate for the mutual protection of
the general public and the school chill
dren, and for the benefit of the latter
it should be attended to Immediately.
The school board is willing to do
its part, the supervisors are willing
to do theirs, and with careful driving
on the part of automobilists there
should be no more injuries sustained,
especially when the signs are put up.
Strangers driving through town
have no means of knowing there is
school on the hill, and when driver
comes down Zachery hill slope and
does not give sign as to the direc-
ton he is going to take, the children
do not know whether he is going
south or will make the turn and go
north. This is particularly bad
point. as we'll as the crossing of the
tracks near the Guild House.
There is room for Improvement In
conditions surrounding the signs on
the streets in Ray and the county ROAD
and we hope, for the protection of the
public in general and the school chill
dren in particular, that results Will
be achieved from the promise MADE
to the Copper Camp representative
and Mr.. Bland on September "a.

HAYDEN FIGHT IS
FULL OF INTEREST

The fight at the Rex theater Mon
day evening was one of the best
events of the sort that have been
staged in Hayden. Taking it as a
whole the performance of the boxers
was worthy of much larger house
than greeted them. The attendance
was only about 300, hardly sufficient
to enable the promoters to break even
on the fight. However, the promoters
promise the same kind of fight once a
month from now on and expect to be
able to make up the deficit on the next
bout or two.
AS a preliminary the bout between
Kid Shirley and Ben Williams was
above the expectations of the specta-
tors. The boys were full of pep and
go and staged a fast bout to draw
in the fourth round.
The semi-fnals CT six rounds be-
tween Jack Lee and Tex Merrill re-
suited in a decision for Lee. Merrill,
however, showed marked improvement
in his work and did some fast foot
work The fight fans here believe
Merrill to be coming fighter.

Conway and Louis Mendoza, was con-
ceded to be the best fight that has

ISSUE; RECORD BALLOT CAS-

ments or technicalities to throw theI
into court. Clean-cut, good inves
ments, and as the issue is only fc
q million dollars, where other cou
ties are piling up two and three mi
lion issues, the Pinal county bond
should be the most attractive in tn
state
The people of the county are so er
thusiastic over the issue they have re
quested the county engineer to max
every effort to be ready to start OF
the new roads as soon as the issue
sold
County Engineer Lane is making
preliminary surveys and will havd
things in readiness to put men I'd
work the minute labor is available
and the funds and work authorized
If things go well and material and
labor are available, the county en]
gineer hopes to start work by tnJ
first of the year.
A new era of prosperity is now open
ing to the people of Pinal; good roads
open up avenues for good business,
and there are no pikers in Pinal, so
the old county will soon be one of
the most valuable, in point of produc-
tion, Of any county in the United
States of it's size. There are wonder
full mineral resources stored up in its
copper-lined hills There are wonder
full fruits and vegetables produced,
but many bad roads have closed the
doors that would otherwise swing
open to the outside camps and locali-
ties where these products are needed.
The new roads will not only open up
field Of opportunity, but the tourist
as well; many thousands of people
will visit the state and county who
otherwise would remain on the main
highways.

The John Pruitt post is going right
after members in a real business-like

Of in belonging.

rade of that magnificent army of four
million men whose patriotic action

roes and to honor the living for their
achievements.

DU BOSE
TELLS HOW RAY
LOOKS To Him
MY IMPRESSIONS OF RAY

The town of Ray is wonderful in sit
uation and realization. In all my
travels I have seen nothing quite SO
interesting in this way. 1t lies like
mountains; it is drawn out like the
tracery upon a Moorish blade; it is
gathered at the middle like a High
land bagpipe and bristles with roman
tic extensions. 1t has high perches,
like the eyries Of eagles; it has Sc
questered seats in mountain glens and
pleasant roadways in it's deep valley
The ceaseless sound Of its industry is
a challenge to its people by day and
lullaby to their sleep in the hours
of night. II is the town of the wide
open eye and of the unrelaxing nerve.
The hills about it are ribbed with cop
per and the waters prickle and sparkle
with the infusion of mineral wealth.
God made the hills and man has mace
the town, and a miracle it is in the
making.
l am not only impressed with the
uniqueness of this town as realized
output of industry, but with the fact
of a community of four thousand peo-
ple-in proportions a city-governed
as one vast family, without regulation
charter, mayor, police or city hall at
tachments. Nor does the wonder stop
here; "free city" find it to be, from
the view point of industry and labor,
with the mountains for it's walls and
the blue heavens for it's dome. 1t is
all but the realization of CampanellTs
Getty of the Sum-" charter from
which modern economists might
profit. The town of Ray thus illus
trates the cohesive and the propulsive
power of industry organized on sound
and altruistic bases. 1t 1mpresses me
as being modern material progress
with bolshevism eliminated. 1t might
we'll become the cue Of a future world
order.

cation of the cordial manner in which

and in building materials. Industry

known locally, but who made many
! friends in his bout Monday night.
Both contestants had weighed in at
1876 pounds at o'clock Monday after
noon and were pronounced in good
physical condition by their respective
physicians.
They were introduced to the au-
dience by Bill Hill, who announced
that Philipson would be referee and
Messrs. Barham and Dorsey the
judges.
He announced that the Marquis Of
Queensberry rules would govern the
bout, and after The final tie of the
last glove they were off in a shower of
blows, the ten rounds to be three min
utes of going and one of rest.
The Pena-Lewis go proved easily to
be the main drawing card and the
rapid work and intense desire of the
fighters to give the boys a run for
their money made things hum along
in fine shape.
Pena had lots Of friends in the
crowd and naturally a number of tsem
were for him, win or lose, but neither
of the fighters seemed to think much
about their friends at the time, each
being absorbed in the job on hand,
namely, to stop the other fellow.
~, I0
ing thisf but at some stages of the
game it looked like Pena's round and
at other times it looked like Lewis
Before it was over, the opinion was
pretty well divided and all seemed to
believe that the judges had made a
fair decision in calling it draw. One
particular feature of this bout was the
clean and open manner in which Lew
is made his breaks, and if anyone had
an idea that he was not playing the
game fair, 1T certainly could not have
been brought about by the tactics he
used in breaking.
AS a matter of fact, all the bouts
seemed to be clean and it would ap-
pear all the boys wanted to get the
game started in good shape in the new
association, for there was no rough
stuff pulled. In fact, the action Of
Sammy Parker, after Ted's second
had given up the ghost, rushed across
the ring and threw his arms around
Ted as though the Rayite had just
returned from long trip somewhere;
and possibly he had, for most OF US
would not have been awake at that
time if we had received that series
of awful wallops on our beak which
Ted stood for five rounds.
While the amount of the receipts
are not known, the crowd seemed to
be fairly close to the point of paying
expenses The affair being well con-
Quoted, the management deserves
much credit and it will be good ad-
vertising for the next one. 1t is to be
hoped the management may then be
more than compensated for any loss
this time Surely, the next event will
be good, and the lovers or the manly
art of self-defense may soon have an
other opportunity to see some more
classy boxing Many places do not
put up as good as was on the boards
on the 22nd, and those who are fond
of boxing should patronize it, and keep
the association alive, for it may be
able to fill long-felt want the line
of recreation in Ray.
