Argo to Close

Instructions came from the Boston
owners Friday morning to close the
Argo properties indefinitely. This
means the closing of the Argo mill,
Argo tunnel. and the fremont mine.
Between fifty and sixty men will be
thrown out of employment.
The information was not entirely un-
expected, as the high cost of all mining
supplies and the increased cost of elec-
trio power had operated to the COM
panies' disadvantage for long period of
time, and their decision to smut down
came very reluctantly.
1t is to be hoped mining conditions
will become adjusted at an early date
and permit reopening of the big prop
erty.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil pOpulace
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation Of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of IL, $780,
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos-
sible for them to maintain their de-
fense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have cOnclusively proved that democ
need it will rise to it's own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to it's credit the very fact that it
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
In the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
Many thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiOusly the last
four months in the fear that demo-
ratio America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many di-
rections and upon the mere word of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances
The history of the Food Administra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in delnoc-
racy has not been misplaced.

ArizOna'S Asbestos

Few people are aware of the
fact that Arizona is a producer
of asbestos, but the fact is the
Arizona Asbestos association is
operating a property in Gila
county, at a place known as
Christolite that is producing a
considerable amount of material.
A mill separates the fiber from
the short gangue, while the long
fiber is assorted by hand. The
property is on Ash creek, a trib-
utary of the Roosevelt water
shed.
In the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado, north of Williams, are
several properties and it is more
than probable that they would
produce largely if developed.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache. Malaria. ChiIls. Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
OF this place, writes: 81 am user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
1t was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when /
was child. When any Of us child
rem complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for 1t certainly has saved US lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black
Draught when not so well saves q
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof Of it's merit.
II your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed.

TEMPE BANK FOLK
 SECRETLY MARRIED

TEMPE, June Miss Mable Green and Harvey Haroldson. both employees of the Tempe National Bank, were greatly surprised last Monday upon returning to the bank after the lunch hour to be heavily showered with rice and congratulations. MT. Haroldson on Wednesday of last week asked for a leave of absence for the following day The story that the young man put up was that he wished to go to Prescott to meet some friends of his who were coming from Kansas and he would like 10 meet them there and show them around the country. But instead of meeting friends he was joined Thurs day night by Miss Green who presum- ably left Tempe after banking hours Thursday to spend the week end with her parents in Glendale, as Friday was to be legal holiday (memorial day). There they were hurriedly married at the Baptist parsonage by the Rev. Morris, pastor Of the Baptist church, a few minutes before twelve o'clock.
 The young couple then returned to Tempe and each reported for duty Sat urday morning as usual, keeping their secret until Monday. However some of their o-workers suspected the truth Saturday but had no way of confirm ing their beliefs until Monday, when some one of their number received in- formation from Prescott relating the romantic marriage in all details. Con- sequently the heavy rice shower and storm of congratulations and teasing.
 The bride is an Arizona girl and one of the most talented and popular young ladies of the younger set of Glendale as well as Tempe. She is a daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. c. Green of Glendale. Mr. Green is a member of the state legislature. Mrs. Haroldson has been employed in the Tempe Ma tional bank for the past six months.

WIRED MAN T0POLE
 AFTER BRUTAL ACT
 TO OPREVENT ESCAPE

The side of her face crushed from a flat iron, Carmen Gevara appeared in Justice De Souza's court yesterday as chief witness against Julian Herman dez, charged with assault with intent to commit murder.
 The man admitted the act, declaring that on a previous occasion the woman had drugged him until he was loco
 The story of the treatment accorded Hernandez after he carried out his al leged revenge recalled the old days, witnesses testifying that Hernandez was wired to a telegraph pole after committing the offense. They testified that they bound him securely that he might have no chance of scaping be- fore the arrival of the officers.
 The crime was committed in Stan wix, a short distance from Gila Bend where Mrs. Gevara lived and where Hernandez had permission to pass the night. He had previously lived q the Gevara home, and on his return from California asked leave to remain over night. Alter the family and roomers had retired Mrs. Geyara, who was sleeping with her little daughter, was aroused from her slumbers by ter rife blow on the head. The injury rendered hes unconscius and she was placed on a stretcher and sent to Yuma, remaining in the hospital for more than two months. Her condition is still regarded as serious and the mark of the brutal act is apparent.
 Hernandez offered no defense other than to say he had been drugged and the woman was responsible. He was held to answer to the superior court, bond being fixed at s1,500 which he failed to furnish. Harry Johnson, as- sistant county attorney. represents the state.
