How does Arizona stand in the war?

How does Arizona stand in the war?
Foremost!
Our men went, willingly, voluntar-
lily, to remove the danger of Kaiser
Willie's dream of world dominion. Our
purses have contributed generously to
the cause. Our men, women and chill
dren at home backed the boys over
there to the utmost of their ability.
But why don't our boys come
homer" we hear "They enlisted for
the duration of the war, and that is
all over now" That is true, but much
remains to be done. The first is, to
enlist, that those who have done their
work be released
Since the signing OF the armistice in
November and the subsequent ceasing
of active hostilities, the government
has been bringing our boys home as
rapidly as possible. Still there is
great number of troops remaining IN
France and these troops must remain
there for some time to come. The
army of occupation must remain in
Germany. This is necessitated by the
fact that the German army still num-
bers one-half million men and this is
no small number to contend with. In
order to permit some of our boys to
return home Chose who enlisted for
the duration of the war or were draft
ed, and those who are needed at home
as wage earners), it is necessary for
the government to replace with others.
1t is our purpose to urge enlistments
in the United States army 1--WE are
not playing big league ball any more"
said Captain A. C. Smith, commanding
"E' Co., 18th u S. infantry, stationed
at Camp Gates, "but the worlds series
is still on. The boys who willingly
entered the service, who gave up their
jobs, their homes, their loved ones, to-
fight in humanity,s battle for exis-
tence, are anxious to. return home,
now that their work is over Many
of us here were wishing for a chance

the anti-gambling law, have been set
FOR hearing in the, superior court for
May 2S. All of the defendants plead
not guilty when arraigned.
Apprehension OF. more than score
of residents Of the county seat and
of Ray came as the result of several

to go over there, but it was denied
us until now. Uncle Sam is calling
for boys to take the places of those
who have served SO faithfully. Now
is the time for all red-blooded men to
go and serve"
Applicants enlist for three years
service, or, if they have already
served; for one. year. They may desig-
nate whether they wish to enlist for
service in France, Siberia, the Philli-
pines, Hawaii, Panama or at home.
Uncle Sam is a good boss to work for.
All the needs and comforts of the
enlisted man are taken care of. and
what Uncle Sam may overlook, the
Red Cross and other organizations
supply. The. base pay for a private at
home is $50. A first class private
draws $33, a corporal, $780, and a SER
geant, $38. Foreign service adds 20
per cent to the base pay. A corporal
serving overseas would receive $43.50

one considers the added advantages of
board, lodging, medical attendance,
clothes, and other conveniences fur

ance which may still be obtained at
the attractive rate Which the govern
ment insurance bureau maintains.
In other words, the government does
not ask that a man be patriotic beyond
his means 1t furnishes the opportun-
ity and pays him we'll besides To
those young men whose connections
at home are such as to permit their
going, nothing is more attractive than
the army life, care-free and happy,
with it's chances of promotion. II con-
slider that service now is just as pa
triotic a step as it was during the
war; Captain Smith stated further.
"and it is. service just as. " vital and
Important to the, government as ,dur7
ing active fighting. OF course, the
glamor and romance of the battle is
now removed and some men will hesi-
tate to enlist, thinking that army life
will become too prosaic and dull. This
is all wrong. Our army presents a
varying routine which makes life in
teresting and affords something new
each day for those who depend upon
variety for the spice of their exis-
tence."
An intensive recruiting campaign
has already been planned by Captain
Smith, and he has sent recruiting par
ties to Hayden, Winkelman, Flor
ence and Phoenix. We hope that
Arizona is ready to respond with her
share of men, and "go over the top
in the undertakings of peace, as well
as of war.

A pleasant surprise party was ten
dered to Bill Hill of the old dormi-

was finally coaxed into the dormitory
and tied to his door. To make sure
of a welcome, Miss Burro had sign
on her neck, which read, Forever
thine, Jen." She was cordially re-
ceived by Bill, who hurried from the
club in response to an anonymous
phone call, to the effect that a.
friend was waiting for him in the
dormitory Bill and the honor guest.

the Guardian Casualty and Guaranty
company of Salt Lake City, stationed

Y. A. HERMANN ON
FURLOUGH FROM \. H.

Mrs. Fred Hermann was agreeably
surprised the other day when her son,
V. A. Hermann, of the U. S. S. Pitts
burgh, stationed at the navy yard at
Portsmouth, N H., dropped into town
last week on a furlough.. He will
be able to spend ten or twelve days
with her and his brother Ben. V. A.,
who before enlisting was employed in
the Ray Con. machine shops, has been
in service about two years now. AL
most year of this time was spent in
foreign waters His brother, Harold
L., is also in the U. S. service, being
with the marines in France. Harold
likewise enlisted about two years ago.

the commission only limited author

cautioned Arizona investors during
the recent oil excitement to limit their
investments to the securities of such
companies as are incorporated under
the laws of this state.

BlAcKNER N UTAH;
+. To ARRIVE SHORTLY

Word has been recently received
that Captain l.. E. Blackner is now in
Salt Lake City. Captain Blackner
writes that he is having the time of
his young life in the Utah metropolis,
and when that is over-not his life,
but the good time-expects to return
to Ray. No doubt, Captain Blackner's
many friends will look forward to his
arrival with pleasant anticipation, par
ticularly those many members Of the
fair sex to whom the gallant captain
has especially endeared himself.
The fact that the Burk Bethel people
are said to be actually sinking two
wells, naturally makes the stockhold-
ers insistent-they are entitled to
their stock and want delivery of it.
The committee representing the in
terests of the stockholders will short
ly decide upon the course to be fol-
lowed. Apparently, the present
course is to proceed against Sheppard
g. Co. under the laws of the State of
Texas, and "hang the expense" One
could not very we'll be placed in the
position that the subscribers in Ray
find themselves in without making a
strong and determined effort to obtain
Justice.
R. S. Strachan, who is heavily in
terested in the matter, received a re-
ply from the attorney generals office
of the State Of Texas, stating that no
jurisdiction was exercised by that Of
fee over unincorporated companies,
and that the course of procedure
would be to engage attorneys to bring
suit.
The statement has been made that,
inasmuch as Nelson said that the sub
scribers' money was right in the
bank" that he is working for the in
terests of Sheppard & Co. in trying
to get the subscribers to accept the
bare return of their money, now that
the property has been developed, and
the stock is selling in the open mar
ket for more than it's par value. Some
Of the subscribers feel that Nelson
would not have the money to offer
them without being in on the deal.
In any event. those interested here
| openly state that the entire transac-
ton reeks Of fraud and deception, and
hostile sentiment is being displayed
by those who state they are being
wronged.
The Arizona press has carried arti-
cles lately to the effect that Governor
Campbell is endeavoring to protect
Arizona citizens from wildcat promot-
ers who are plying their trade now
without hindrance. That such inves'
tigation should be made at this time
Is, in the opinion of,the Copper Camp
urgent in the extreme. Too much
money has already been taken out OF
Arizona to line the pockets of Texas
profiteers, who can afford to sit back
and laugh, knowing that only civil &C
tion can be brought against them.
We predict that the people Of Ari
zona are soon to awake to the dan
gers of the situation, and that such
awakening will be followed by swift
retribution and a correction of the
evils that exist at this writing.
1t is only fair that the readers oi
the Copper Camp should be Informed
that the Arizona Corporation Comnnis
sion, according to reports from Phoe
nix, have taken action to stop sales o1
stock by agents without permits Or Ii
