U. s. TO MAKE GIFT OF ROAD
 MACHINERY TO THIS STATE

State Engineer Maddock made a. statement to the effect that Arizona will probably receive highway equip ment free from the federal govern ment, perhaps more than what the state now owns. He said that the war department has purchased a great stock of equipment consisting of big trucks, trailers, scrapers, graders and many other things for use in war, but now that war is over the government finds no more use for them, and there for authorized their distribution to the several states on the same basis as the distribution of federal aid money.
 In view of this fact, Engineer Mad dock said that the state highway de- partment will not make any expendi- lures for highway equipment and has written to the various county highway commissioners urging. them to limit their purchases of highway equipment and these subsidies from the federal government will thus enable the vari- ous counties to put all the money they have for road equipment into actual road construction, and in this way fa- cilitate building as he claims that the state can allow the various counties to use these equipments at nominal rental to cover cost of freight.

PEACE MISSION ASKS SUPPORT
 OF FIFTH LOAN
Urges American People to Finish the Job by Taking
 the Victory Loan

Four members of the American peace mission in France, Secretary of State Robert Lansing, Col. F.. M. House, General Tasker N. Bliss and Henry White, have sent this message to the American people urging support of the Victory Loan:
 ITO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: We haveshad the opportunity here in France to see and realize the mag nitude of the accomplishment of our country in this war and the magnificent spirit with which this great task has been carried through to triumphant issue.
 What has been done and what re- mains to be done before normal con ditions are restored demand your con- tinued and united support with the same spirit of self sacrifice and of de- termination as that which was mani fested by the nation while the German armies faced our men at the Marne, and in the Champagne. at St. Mihiel and in the Argonne. We must not re- lax our efforts until every soldier of the republic Is landed on the soil of America.
 "To finish this mighty task imposes upon the government of the United States a great financial burden. The Victory Liberty Loan must thrive. II 1t should fail it would indicate that the Nation is willing to leave its task un- completed.
 ITO secure the ideals for which Americans fought and died this great demand on national patriotism and united effort should meet a generous and universal response. Let us do our duty to the end.

LUTHER HART SURPRISES
 HIS WINSLOW FRIENDS

It was a shabby trick Luther Hart played on his friends by turning a Benedict without giving little ad- vance notice. Last Wednesday after noon, at o'clock, at the home of his father, David Hart, he was mar ried to Nancy M. Lilyjeholm, the cere- mony being performed by Rev. An drews, in the presence of only the inn mediate relatives of the contracting parties.
 The bride is sister of Mrs. c. M. Service, and came to Winslow from her home in Boston about year ago on a visit. Mir. Hart, the groom, is known by everybody in northern Ari- zona, where he has spent most of his life, and is now a successful stock man.
 Immediately following the wedding MT. and Mrs. Hart left for the ranch to spend few days, and then they go to Phoenix for a short stay.-The Winslow Mail.

EMPLOYMENT SUNDAY
 AND MOTHERS DAY

The executive committee of the General Wartime Commission of the Churches today notified the Depart ment of Labor of it's endorsement of the observance of Sunday, May 4, as Employment Sunday" which will mark the inauguration of a national campaign by the churches of the ycoun- try to assist the United States Elm ployment Service and cooperating agencies in finding jobs for returning soldiers, sailors and war workers. The Wartime Commission has sent statement to John B. Densmore, di- rector general of the United States Employment Service, announcing that all churches have been requested to organize church welcome committees and that appropriate posters have been distributed. The Wartime Com mission also considers it appropriate that Sunday, May 4, should be both Employment Sunday" and Mothers Day."
 Following is the Wartime Commis- sion's statement:
 Sunday, May 4, has been designat- ed as Employment Sunday by the United States Department of Labor and the president has appealed for its universal observance. The observ- ance of the day in this way has re- ceived the approval of the executive committee of the General Wartime Commission of the Churches.
 "The commission calls on the minis ters of the congregations of the twen- ty-seven denominations which cooper ate through the Wartime Commis- sion, to do everything in their power to assist the United States Employ ment Service through the observance of the day.
 "The observance of Employment Sunday is in accord with the gen eral policy of welcome and of assist ance which the Wartime Commission is urging upon the churches. Congre- gations everywhere have been request ed to form Church Welcome commit tees to greet the discharged soldiers and sailors and to assist them in every needed way. This week the General Wartime Commission is mailing to 115,000 clergymen throughout the United States a letter from the direc- tor general of the United States Elm ployment Service with a poster to be displayed in each church and sugges- tions of ways in which the churches may cooperate with the United States Employment Service. There is also included plan for the organization of local Church Welcome committees prepared originally by the Brother hood of St. Andrew.
 "It seems peculiarly appropriate that on the first Sunday in May, which far number of years has been observed as Mothers Day, the Chris tian people of the United States should consider the welfare of the returning lads of the army and navy who are seeking to be reabsorbed into the nor maj round of civil life"

CROP PROGRESS IN ARIZONA

Some rainfall and warmer nights in the northern part of the state have been favorable for farming activities. Flowing for corn has been quite gen eral and soil conditions are generally excellent. Corn is being planted in the irrigated sections about Stafford, and hay, grain and fruit are reported in fine condition. Alfalfa cutting has already begun. Cold nights have hin- dered the growth of cotton in the southwest, but the crop is coming on quite uniformly.

MRS. ANNA CAMERON IS
 CALLED TO FINAL REWARD

Funeral services for Mrs. Margaret Anna Cameron, who died at her home on Lereux street last Friday morning were held Sunday afternoon. DI Luther Moore of the Episcopal church conducted the services-a short one at the residence, where the room in which it was held was arranged to represent chapel, and the committal services at the grave.
 The services were marked by pro- fusion of beautiful flowers, attesting the grief of many friends, who were themselves present to large number.
 Mrs. Cameron was born in Boston, Mass, 76 years ago. Her death, which was caused by the complication of some troubles due to her extreme age, takes from those who had known her here for many years, one whom they loved and now mourn sincerely. The immediate relatives surviving her are one son, Bert Cameron; a step-son, Ralph Cameron; two sisters ands a brother, who reside in the East.

 On April 25 there passed from the sphere of her earthly activities, from the many, many friends who knew her for her noble and consistent character. for the many acts of kindness and true, unselfish charity, made manifest on scores of occasions, known only to the recipients, Mrs. Anna M. Cameron, who had lived in and been a part of this community for the last 31 years.
 To know Mrs. Cameron, was to know one of Gods noble women, one who went about doing good for goods sake, and for the pleasure it gave her in doing it.
 The Recording Angel will not over- look the many occasions when she left the quiet of her own home, on foot and in the darkness of night, to houses of sorrow, sickness and death, to ad- minister, in her own simple way, com fort to those in distress.
 Her passing will leave a void in the circle of friends, who knew her so long and so well, that will be hard to fill, and the community will miss a true and sympathetic friend.

DR.. Pierce fifty years ago.
Everything growing out Of the ground
seems intended for some use in establish
ing natural conditions. DR.. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y, long since found out what
is naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating thou
sands Of cases. The result of his studies
was medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription. This medicine is made
of vegetable growths that nature surely
intended for backache, headache, weak
ening, bearing-down pains, irregularities,
pelvic indammations, and for the many
disorders common to women in all ages of
life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
made of lady's slipper root, black cohosh
root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and
Oregon grape root. DIR. Pierce knew,
when he first made this standard medi-
cine, that whiskey and morphine are in
furious, and so he has always kept them
out of his remedies. Women who take
this standard remedy know that in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription they are
getting a safe woman's tonic SO good that
druggists everywhere sell it, in liquid or
tahlat form.
