During the war there were several
groups of soldiers sent from this val
ley. The two boys returning home
Tuesday night, George Wilson and
Joe Gillette, represent all that were
left of one of the groups that departed
last year. Chindo Lopez was killed
by sniper, Sam Clark met death car
rving messages at the front, and Fred
Humphreys was killed, but the de-
tails have not yet been forwarded. 1t
has been asserted, although not posi-
lively known, that Casa Grande val
ley, for it's population, suffered a
larger percentage Of deaths Of boys
in action than any other community
of like size in the state. There are
five gold stars in our service flag.

P. and S. w. a right of way through
the Papago Indian reservation be-
tween Tucson and Ajo, and at that
time it was thought the company
would extend the railroad from Tue
son to San Diego via Ajo, but it now
looks as though they were going to
make a short cut to tidewater by max
ing for the Gulf of California. If this
is their plan, there is no question but
what the line they build from Tucson
TO Phoenix will be the main passen-
ger line to the Pacific coast, the route
to the Gulf being used to transport
freight coming through the Isthmus,
mainly materials for the mining in
dustry. The line to Ajo and San
Georges bay will open up the rich
mineralized district south of Casa
Grande and provide means for the
shipment of thousands of tons of ore
monthly to the smelters.

ENDLESS-TREAD TRACTORS
 MOUNT HEAVY GUNS

No phase of the development in ar tillery practice during the war has been more marked than the substitu- tion of the gasoline engine for the horse in almost every conceivable way. A single truck or tractor now pulls the big rifle, or howitzer, displacing three or four teams of horses; huge supply trucks supplant commissary wagons and ammunition caissons; mobile repair shops roll their way al- most into the front lines. Heavy guns are mounted directly on self propelled platforms which climb 40 degree grade easily, travel 12 miles an hour on the level, and can go into action the instant they arrive at the battery position. The mounting also facilitates aiming to the right or left, relieving the gun crew of this heavy duty.

 The stake race was won by Lou Overton. Johnnie Fredericks beat him to the mark, but was disqualified for turning his mount three feet short of the turning line. In the pony ex- press race, Tommie Wells was first, Doc Pardee second and Walter Cline third. The last quarter mile of this race was thrilling contest between Wells and Pardee, the latter winning it in the last 50 yards.
 The relay race went to Wells, Par dee and Clifford Koontz in the order named.

A study OF shipping figure is certain
to confuse tho layman In its reference
to tonnage. The terms lightweight
toni ge, arg tonnage. gross. net
and displacement tonnages r used
in the shipping business, each having
a distinct meaning. Deadweight tom
mage is the difference between the
number OF tons of water a ship dis
places when submerged to the load
water line" and when travelling
light" 1t expresses the number OF
tons of cargo. bunker fuel and stores
q ship can carry. Cargo tonnage
Is self explanatory, but there are va
riations In the weight since the United
States and Great Britain ton amounts
to 2,240 pounds, while France AID
countries using the metric system
have a weight ton of 2,204.6 pounds.
A measurement" ton is usually, forty
cubic feet. Gross tonnage is appii-
cable to the ships themselves and not
to cargo, and is determined by divid-
ing by 100 the contents in custb feet
of the vessels cIosed-in spaces. In
arriving at the net tonnage of a YES
sci, deduction of the space occupied
by the crew, by the machinery. the
engine room and fuel, is made from
the gross tonnage, and net tonnage
shows the space available for pas
sengers and cargo. A ton of cargo
usually takes up less than 100 cubic
feet, and 1t is therefore not unusual
that the cargo tonnage exceeds the net
tonnage, n the amount of cargo car
ried Is in excess of the gross tonnage.
Displacem ent of a vessel includes
both the ship and its contents. On
the average freight steamer now used.
the relative figures On tonnage would
amount to approximately as follows:
Net tonnage. 1000; gross tonnage.
5000; deadweigft carrying capacity.
10, 900; displacement loaded, about
1880 tons. The registered tonnage
of ships. whether gross or net, IL
about the same under both American
and British rules.
