Prosperity Due to Fertilizer
Whatever may be the direct benefit,
1t is obvious from study Of the sit

is due more largely ito the use of
commercial fertilizers than to any 9th

fertilizers are absolutely necessary to

What would become of his business
should the merchant, the miller or

his time to business? Inc most sue
cessful man is the one who stays on
the joo regardless OF dull days or

go into winter quarters in the early
fall and come out only with the birds

sit around the fire at home or in the

WORKERS IN ENGLAND
 PAYING DOUBLE NOW

LONDON-The cost of living for a workingman's family in England was nearly doubled during the war, according to a statement isued by the ministry of food. The ministry bases it's estimate upon that of a committee headed by Lord Dumner' which reported that in 1914 the average weekly expenditure for food for a working-class family of six persons was the equivalent of s6.l2. The ministry estimates that the cost has now advanced to s1l.sl week.
 The ministry echoes the state ment of Premier Lloyd George fore casting that the workingman,s cost of living would be reduced about Sl a week this summer.

LONDON HEARTH
 CONDEMNED FOR WASTE OF tUEL

LONDON.-The government plan to build 330,0O0 houses for work men within the next few years ap- parently has aroused the British public to demand abolition of the archaic English fireplace. and sub stitution of the American steam heating system for homes. The de- mand is voiced by numerous con- tributors to the London newspapers.
 If had my way I would at once send out a commission of British architects to America and Canada to learn there the elements of the business of building houses and equipping them,' declares one writer.
 One fundamental defect runs through practically all British houses of whatever grade" he continues They depend for their heating on fires. Now the English fire is a. admirable invention from every as pect except that of utility and cleanliness It is cheerful, com panionable, soporific, sentimental an altogether delightful thing to have in a room. It has, howver. two vital drawbacks. it does not heat and it is abominably dirty.
 T mean that it does not heat properly. Its radius is so limited that over half an average English drawing room is not used in winter time. To move twelve feet away from the fireplace is to leave the Tropic of Capricorn and enter the Arctic Circle, while as for sitting comfortably near the window, the thing is inconceivable
 'ln the second place, even within its meager radius, a fire never does its work thoroughly It never warns you all over. One side is grilled, the other is underdone. Your face is aglow. your back a ripple of ieicles.'
 The writer called attention to the acknowledged fact that in spite of the labor of carrying coal for grate fires, fully 80 per cent of the heat is wasted. going up the chim- ney.

GREAT TUNNEL
 PROJECT READY
 FOR WORK NOW

LONDON.-Intense interest has been aroused by the government announcement that the long nro- jected tunnel under the English Channel to connect England and France is soon to be constructed. The cost of the enterprise is roughly estimated at S100, 0,0O0,00O Some say the tunnel could be completed in five and one-half years.
 4 commission in Paris which has been discussing this project also is considering the building of tunnels under the Bosphorus. connecting Europe with Asia, and one from Gibralter connecting Europe with Africa.
 The English Channel Tunnel com. pany already has done a vast amount of work in anticipation of the re- sumption of actual construction of the tunnel to France. Engineering plans are said to be so far advanced that the work could begin at once
 With the exception of the Panama Canal. 1t will be the biggest engin- eering enterprise of modern times The total length, including approach es in England and France, will be g miles. with more than 21 F miles of It under the sea. The plans pro vide for two tunnels, each eighteen feet in diameter. connected by cross galleries at intervals of 900 yards The maximum depth vf water on the route is 1S0 feet. and a cover of chalk about 100 feet thick would be left undistur5ed abave the crown Of the tunnel 10 provide against danger from enemy attack with submarine explosives. The tunnels level below the sea thus will be about 2S0 feet.
 Iron tubes will be built as the tunnel advances. The extraordinary advance made in tunneling in recent years, especially in the United States, will enable the engineers to proceed with great speed. The rail- way lines will be operated by cleo tricity as in the case of the Simp- lon tunnel under the Swiss noun tain of that name, and which is l2 F miles in length, the longest st present in the world
 Before the war the quickest serv- ice from London to Paris was in six hours and 45 minutes. With the tunnel the journey could be made in six hours, whatever the weather.
 Speaking of the problems of building the tunnel, English engin- eers say the sea itself offers no difficulty, that the only risk lies in the geological formations. The first layer under the channel is white ihalk, and beneath this is a belt of gray chalk some 300 feet thick The great question is whether the gray chalk Is impervious to water
 The exact points for starting the tunnel have not been determined, but expert opinion favors spot just behind Dover and, in France, B point close to Cape Grisnez
 The tunnel will be capable of handling 30,00O passengers and 3O,- poo tons of goods each way every 24 hours. Ordinary railway rolling stock, including sleeping and din- ing cars, will be able to use the route.

LEAVES RAY FOR
EXTENDED ABSENCE

Mr.. Charles M. Kinsey, mechanical
foreman for the Ray Consolidated Cop
per company, left on the 21st for San
Jose, California, to be with his family
during the holidays, as well as on an
extended leave of absence.
Mr.. Kinsey has held his present po-
sition with the company for the past
ten years, previously having been with
the Boston Consolidated Copper COM
pany in Utah, which was afterwards
absorbed by the Utah Copper COM
pany. He was with this company at
the time Mr.. L. S. Gates and Mr.. w. s..
Boyd were there, and coming to Ray
some time after these two gentlemen
took active part in the affairs of the
Ray Consolidated Copper company
here. Mr.. Kinsey has been here since
the real development of the present
properties, having charge of the me-
chanical department, which includes
the operation and installation of the
different hoists, the air locomotives,
tipples, etc., both underground and on
surface, as well as the water and fire
protection systems of the camp.
He not only has been associated
with the company's development, but
that of the community as well, taking
active part in all affairs of interest to
the general public. He has been on
the school board for several years,
acting as chairman during the past
year; and it has been through his ef-
forts that the present new school
building was secured for the people of
Ray, as we'll as the remodelled auto
matte vacuum return steam heating
systems in both the Ray and Sonora
schools, which are just being COM
pleted. This system lessons the fire
risk, as we'll as effecting a saving of
one third in fuel, and it's efficiency is
shown through the fact that there are
no cold rooms in any of the buildings.
The Ray Con clubhouse, although
built primarily for the employees Of
the company, is the center of social
activity of the camp, and as one of
the board of governors, and when he
left, as vice-president, Mr.. Kinsey has
always been active in managing the
affairs of the club, doing so in such
manner that it would reflect to the
benefit of the club as a whole.
We extend the holiday greetings to
him and his family, and he takes our
best wishes for success with him in his
undertakings.

publican committeeman, will leave
Jan. 2 to go to San Francisco, where
he will attend the Republican national

Mr. Nolan goes for the interest of
the republican party, for whom he has

OF years.
Mr.. Allen B. Jaynes of Tucson, is
republican national committeeman and
he will attend. There is rumor afloat
that Mr.. Will H. Hays, the national

friends in this state. The other mem
bers of the executive committee are

The writer has the pleasure of being
personally acquainted with a few of
these men and they are certainly
splendid gentlemen and the republican
party can well feel proud of their
activities, and each of them would find
a hearty welcome on their visit to
Arizona and each of them may learn
that we have a most wonderful state.
1t may not be amiss to have the whole
committee accompany Mr.. Hays when
he pays Arizona a visit.

ELLIOTT PICTORIAL
SERVICE INSTALLED
BY RAY CON. co,

The Ray Consolidated Copper com
pany, in order to bring the latest
world events to it's employees, has in
stalled the famous Elliott Pictorial
Service on it's bulletin board at the
west end of the foot bridge near the
general office.
Each day a message from some of
the world leaders, a character mes
sage, together with photograph of
some great event is placed in the bull
letin board, where the men to and from
their work may be privileged to learn
in few words and by photograph
what is going on in the world.
These pictures illustrate many i'm
portant events in the world of news
and wherever they have been exhibited
in other places they have attracted
wide and favorable attention and in
terest.
The Ray Consolidated at all times
wishes to give it's men the same bene-
fits as obtained by employees in other
localities and in view of the interest
manifested in these pictures and the
messages, the attitude of the com
pany is more than appreciated by the
men, who may read the happenings
right up to the minute.
