GUILD PROGRAM
PROVES ONE Of
YEARS finest

What proved to be one of the most
enjoyable meetings of the Woman's
Guild took place on Saturday at the
Guild House. Much forethOught had
been given to the program which had
been vested in the capable hands of
Mrs. Grace Moorman. Anticipating
something unusual, So ladies were
present at this meeting which opened
with a reading by Miss Irene Anto-
Mol entitled, "The Soul Of tne Vio-
lin" Miss Antoniol is public
speaker of ability, possessing that
rare quality of making her audience
forget their surroundings which, cou-
pied with her charming personality,
met with the usual hearty apprecia-
ton and sympathetic response her
audiences always accord her. We re-
gret that we are not first in predict
ing for Miss Antoniol a future in her
chosen vocation, but that she will be
q dramatic success goes without
question.
Two very clever character songs
followed next by Mrs. Clark-Wallace
who was attired in appropriate cos
tune. She possesses a voice which is
most pleasing and with her naive
manner proved irresistible.
To add spice to the afternoon s. en-
tertainment, Mrs. Grace Moorman
presented to her audience a mono
logue entitled, Waiting for Myers"
which was in reality a one-act, one
character comedy skit. The scene
was laid in Ray, the theme being so
we'll known it hardly needs elabora-
tion. Her listeners were keerly in
terested; not a moment Jagged and to
say that this skit was heartily ap-
plauded would scarce do it justice.
The hostesses on this occasion were
the Mesdames Dolman, Haffner, Chap
pelka, Hickey and Jenkins to whom
much credit is due for the splendid
manner in which they conducted this
meeting and for the delicious refresh
ments served.

JOIN RED. CROSS
TODAY; ROLL is
Being CALLED

If you haven't already answered the
Red Cross Roll call, join today
The third Red Cross Roll Call, ii
nationwide campaign to enlist mem
bers for 1920 at $10O each, started
this week in Ray and will continue
until the night of Tuesday, November
II. AS that day has been made a
legal holiday by proclamation of the
governor, it is expected that returned
service men, as well as all loyal citi-
zens, will lend their efforts to seeing
that the Red Cross Roll Call is put
over the top.
Ray has the reputation of never do
ing anything nalfway-and this is an
other opportunity to prove that this
camp is better than 100 per cent when
it comes to doing anything for the
Red Cross. 1t was so during the war
and it ought to be so now, especially
in view of the tremendous program
OF relief work now before the Red
Cross
Join the Red Cross today All you
need is a heart and a dollar.

BRANDS IN DANGER
UNLESS STOCKMEN
RE-REGISTER SOON
Stockmen Have Less Than Two
Months to Re-record and Establish
Their Rights.

Only about half the stockmen of
the state have re-recorded their
brands with the state livestock sani-
tary board as yet. Less than two
months remain in which they can
insure for themselves the ownership
of old time brands. Any brand not re-
recorded by December 12, is open for
use and will belong to the first man
who records it as required by law.
According to Secretary Ed w. Ste
phens of the live stock sanitary board,
the re-recording of the brands has
been increasing in volume steadily At
the same time, very large portion
of the live brands are still unre-
corded. Should the owners overlook
their duty too long, there is possi-
bility that designing individuals may
record these brands in rheir own
names. The present owners, with
stock running under the brands would
then find themselves facing what
might prove to be very serious COM
plications if not actual loss.
Orders have been sent to every
livestock inspector in the department
to notify all stockmen as far as they
can of the necessity of re-recording
their brands and to warn them of
the shortness of the time remaining
in which they may protect their rights
to ownership. In this way, the live
stock sanitary board hopes to reduce
to minimum the number of brands
in actual use and not yet re-recOrded.

LEGAL HOLIDAY
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
STATE OF ARIZONA
A Proclamation Setting Aside Novem-
Der II, 1919, as American Legion
Day and Declaring the Same Pub
lie Holiday


November II, 1919, is the first ami
versary of the most notable event in
the worlds history, the signing of the
armistice which brought to an end the
greatest armed conflict within the
knowledge of man and the triumph
of the principle Of right over might
Arizona in common with her sister
states of the Union, gave freely in
men and treasure to the cause of
6ankind, Loyalty and generously re-
spending without question or hesita-
ton to the call of patriotic duty.
The survivors of the great war have
banded themselves into a non-partlsan
organization, the principles of which
make for better citizenship, foremost
of which are fidelity to the constitu-
ton, unalterable conviction that the
flag of our land is the symbol of lib
erly, equality and justice to all over
whom it waves, uncompromising op-
position to open or covert attacks
upon our government, be it in the
form of Bolshevism, l. w. W.ism Or
what not, and the preservation Of
American Institutions not only for the
safety, happiness and prosperity of
present but future generations.
Whereas, The patriotism-of-peace
program of this organization en-
braces so many worthy objects, the
least of which includes the material
welfare of it's members, it is but fit
ting that due honor, by formal OBJ
servance, be paid to these men who
sacrificed so much in our behalf.
Now, therefore, 1, Thomas E. Camp
bell, governor of the state of Ari-
zona, by virtue of the authority vested
in me by law, do declare Tuesday.
the 18th day of November, 1919, as
American Legion day, and set aside
the same as public holiday urging
the people of this state to participate
in the meetings, commemorative of a
momentous event, to be held under
the auspices of the posts of the Amer
lean Legion throughout Arizona, not
only that deserved homage may be
paid to these, our valiant defenders,
but also to the end that inspiration
be gained for the ever-constant cru
sade for higher ideals of citizenship.
In Witness Whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state of Arizona to
be affixed.
Done at Phoenix, the capital, this
third day of November, A. D., 1919.

Plans have now been completed for

musical treat for those who go to look

that many people go to the dances
just to look on as well as those who
go to dance and they are going to
be looked after in the form of good
music.
The musicians have all donated
their services for the evening so as
to enable the post to get little
