TOUCHING ALL THE BASES ON THE WESTERN FRONT
 WITH HANK GOWDY--BOX SCORE BY BOHEMIAN BULGER

into genuine unselfish beings It gave them broader vision. It developed charity and generosity toward the little failings that all persons have at times In that way he figures the war, the life in the army has done so much for American citizenship.
 INTERESTING SIGHT
 In conclusion, Hank Gowdy. in re- sponse to a number of written requests, describes what he considers the most interesting sight of the war. It may not De so picturesque as other things that he saw, but I wish to agree with his opinion, having seen the same thing at about the same time Hanks division cleared Brest one day ahead of mine. Tn the fall of 1917. says Hank, T was present in the big shed when the recruits were put. through their physical exami- nation. l saw there hundreds of pale faced boys, chicken breasted, hunfred of shoulder and some with rather cringing attitude toward their fellows. Their eyes were restless and some of them would not look you in the eye. Their feet were in bad shape, toes twisted and arches flattened as a result of bad fitting shoes. The doctors managed to pass them, though, and they entered upon a life of hard work and discipline.
 "1n April, 1919, I was present in the great barracks at Brest and saw the

Ninety per cent of these men had gained in weight No one had bad pair of feet. But, above all, there was in the face of all of them healthy, straightforward look. Anyone of them was able to look you straight in the eye and say Yes or "No" If there was anything in ones attitude suggestive of smallness or narrowness they could look you in the eye and tell you to Go to He'll just as easily as to say I'm with you.

Lieutenant Colonel Infantry, U. s. A.
 Beneath the rolicling good humor of Hank Gowdy there is vein of thought fulness and philosophy. Whether the war made him that way I don't know. Always he was quaint in his observa- tons.
 One cold night in Germany he came down from Rolandseck to seek our aid in getting a cablegram through to the Boston Baseball club At that time no commercial business over the telegraph wires out of Germany was permitted
 The question on the big catcher's mind was one of salary between himself and the Braves. The amount, he said, was not so important at that time as definite contract, so that he could ar range his plans.
 This naturally drifted into discus sion of baseball and war and the rela- tion of one to the other.
 You know" declared Gowdy, 'Tve thought this thing over many times since I've been in the seuvice, and I am con- vinced that the one great good the army has done me and others is the way ii

M|l'MILLIN TO PLAY
SANTA FOR KIDDIES
LACKING XMAS GIFTS

Emulating the first Christmas and
seeking to spread happiness and good
cheer, among those who may be un-
fortunate enough to need, Mr. MacMil-
lin, proprietor of the Owl Drug, dur
ing the holidays will supply toys for
the poor and needy children, if their
names are handed in to him.
There may be others who will do
the same, but Mr. MacMillin is the
first to make the offer and it should
be the duty of those who may know
of poor or needy child in Ray to
hand in the name to Mr. MacMillin;
on the other hand, it should be the
duty of every one who may be tempted
to hand i'll name to be sure that
they are thus unfortunate so as to
not in an effort to do justice to one,
really inflict burden or injustice
on the donors.
This offer Of Mr.. MacMillin's ap-
plies to the Ray children, and in fair
ness to Mr. MacMillin, it must be
said that he put no strings on his
offer. However,, in publishing such
offers, it is the duty of the Copper
Camp to assist those that may give
as we'll as the ones who may receive
and for that reason, and in order that
no injustice may be done, it is hoped
that the needy may be taken care of
first
This is the proper spirit and Mr.
MacMillin is to be congratulated upon
his desire to help the poor and
needy and it is hoped that no one de-
serving may be overlooked.
Now, friends, look we'll among you
and if you find poor or needy child
or children HE yourself to Mac and
whisper the name and he will be
glad to see that old Santa don't over
look them.

BURROS TORMENTED
BY YOUTHFUL RIDERS;
time TO CALL HALT

Recently in Ray there has been
considerable complaint about boys in
the various sections of Ray picking
up burros that do not belong to them
and riding them.
The boys that do so are liable to
prosecution in the same manner as if
they had taken an automobile or any
other piece of property, and it be-
hooves the parents of the children of
Ray to admonish them to attend to
their own affairs and let other people
and their property alone.
While some of the people to whom
the burros may belong may not care
particularly, there are some who may
have turned their burros out that do
not want them bothered. In one in
stance it is reported that one or two
boys even went so far as to go into
a mans yard and take his burro and
long rope with which the burro was
tied.
To say the least, that is going too
far, and if the parents do not want
their children to get into trouble they
should forbid them to bother property
of other people.

Wind BALkS GUN
FANS ON SUNDAY

Ray gun fans went up against a
stacked deck and loaded dice in the
windstorm last Sunday. The blue
rocks which are supposed to fly fifty
yards and to be from nine to twelve
feet high, at a distance of thirty feet
from the trap, behaved worse than at
any time in recorded history. Ex-
perienced shots who have shot under
all kinds and conditions of wind, rain
and snow, in many different localities,
were unanimous in agreeing that they
had never seen the targets behave so
badly as they did Sunday. They
went straight up and straight down,
sideways, endways, and every other
way. Few of them were able to rise
more than three feet from the ground,
and then they would go sixty-five
yards before falling.
The reporter was warned to say
nothing about scores, but after all
specific facts were deleted it was de-
cided to allow the Copper Camp to
announce that Mr.. Boyd was high
gun, DR.. Gowan second and Ell Fordo
Rick took third money. Mcclure and
Mullen were a little behind.
Every member of the Ray gun club
is praying that the wind won't blow
next Sunday.

LADY BOOT-BLACK
CREATES Stir At
COUNTY'S CAPITAL

Not to be outdone by some of the
larger cities of the state, a certain
prominent lady Of the younger SET
found an afternoon on her hand with
not a particularly great deal to do.
She happened to be near a promin.
ent place on the main street and the
bootblack, not seeing any particularly
ready money in sight, slipped off to
pound his ear for awhile.
The young lady, knowing of the
need of the Red Cross seal sale, began
to get busy. She had found plan
whereby she might earn some extra
money. Immediately, she grasped her
opportunity and incidentally pencil
and some paper Soon a couple of
signs appeared reading something like
this: Lady Bootblack this Afternoon"
Hardly had the sign made it's appear
ance when a number of the jurymen
felt the pressing need of a cleaner
looking pair of shoes and one by one
they filed into the chair and the prom
inent young lady began to put on the
best of shine. Soon it leaked out
what the money was to be used for
and the customers became so numer-
Gus that the lady had to put on two
assistants.
The regular fee was just doubled
and those who were fortunate enough
to get in on it, had the best of shine
and the chance to help worthy cause.
Talk about Florence being a slow
town; nothing doing. You may ask
any of the people who have been
there for a few days and they are all
beginning to swear by it-and some
times at it.
All have to admit, though, that there
is pretty good, lively bunch there

.RAIDED STILL WAS AT
FLORENCE, NOT RAY

In the last issue of the Copper
Camp, an error was made in stating
that the still captured by the sher-
ifs office was on the outer edge of
Ray. AS matter of fact, the still
was captured on the edge of Florence.
The man responsible for the opera
ton was Ed Thorp, and his accomp-
lice was G. ]. Crawford. Thorp was
later released on $1,000 bond and
Crawford, who was not so we'll known
in Florence, was taken, with the still,
10 Phoenix, to await hearing before
the Federal Court Later, it was un-
derstood he was released on bail.
This error was made owing to the
fact that the information was tele-
phoned in, a few minutes after it
happened, by the local representative
an Ray, who happened to be in
.~rence at the time of the raid.

Boxing BOUT
On XMAS DAY

Arrangements for boxing contest
between Young Pena of Sonora and
Kid Lewis Of Miami to be held in the
Juarez theatre at 2:30 o'clock Christ
mas afternoon, have been completed
by the Ray Athletic club.
Ray fans who enjoyed the hard mill
between these two boys some weeks
ago are looking forward to the con-
test with the keenest anticipation, and
a record-breaking crowd is expected
to witness the bout Both Young rena
and, Kid Lewis are reported to be in
splendid condition for the approach
ing contest and each one is confident
that he will be able to win the deci-
sion
The bout to be held Christmas Day
is the outcome of a challenge issued
by Kid Lewis to the winner of the
bout between Ralph DeMott and
Young Pena, which was held in Ray
on the night of Nov. %. At that con-
test the decision was given to Young
Pena and he lost no time in accepting
Lewis challenge.
Kid Lewis is considered one of the
best boxers of his weight in this sec
tion of the country, having done con-
siderable boxing while in the army.
Young Pena is well known in Ray and
Sonora, having boxed here several
times, and his action while in the ring
on the night of Nov % in the bout
with DeMott shows that he has been
making consistent Improvement until
now he is one of the best of his weight.
In addition to the main bout be-
tween Pena and Lewis, the club ex-
poets to have several preliminaries on
the program which will add consider
ably to the amusement and entertain
ment of those who attend. Mr.. Rit-
tenhouse expects to bring the two
boys from Superior and it seems GER
tain that bout between these two boys
will prove one of the drawing cards
of the days program, as everyone con-
siders them "great."
Ladies are invited to attend the
bout by the club management and the
hope is expressed that large num-
Der of the ladies of the camp will
"stack" their Christmas dinner dishes.
and attend this contest. 1t is safe to
predict that if they do, they will get
some idea of the clean boxing con-
tests being held in Ray and will be
impressed with the fact that boxing
is not the vulgar sport which it is
considered by some.
There should be large attendance
at the Christmas bout as the future of
boxing in Ray depends largely on the
success Of this contest.

DR.. CRAWFORD, WELL Loved PHYSICIAN
Of RAY, PASSES AWAY While IN EAST

His mother and three brothers were
present at his bedside during most
of his recent illness and at the time,
CT his death.
DR.. J. E. Crawford was one of the
pioneers of the camp of Ray, having
arrived in Ray in the fall of 1909 and
lived here continuously until about
year ago, when, owing to ill-health, he
was compelled to give up his prac-
tice and devote his efforts to the re-
covery of his health.
Dr. Crawford was known and es-
pecially well-liked by everyone in
camp. He was ready at all times to
go if he could be of the least assist
ance to any patient or any one in
trouble. He first came to Ray under
the late DR.. Brown, when the hospital
was situated at Kelvin and later, af-
ter the resignation CT Dr.. Brown from
the medical staff Of the Ray Consoli-
dated Copper company, DR.. Crawford
was made chief surgeon.

and supervisions, the health and well

his time in Ray, remaining here
through the hottest summers, except
at such periods of the year when he
went east to further familiarize him.
self with the improved methods in
handling such cases as might have
come under his supervision.
His mother was with him part of
his latter period in Ray and during
her stay here made friends by the
score, she being one of those dear,
sweet, motherly women whom to know
was to love.
DR.. Crawford was Mason in good
standing, he having gone through the
Consistory and obtained the 80 degree.
He was loyal and respected member
of the Episcopal church.
The entire community joins through
the Copper Camp in extending to his
dear mother and faithful brothers,
sympathy in this hour of bereavement,
and even though DR.. Crawford has not
been with us in this community for
some months, the memory of his good
deeds and splendid efforts will remain
as a monument to his noble charac-
ter which is well worthy of emulation.
