VICTORY LOANS GREAT
 SUCCESS ILLUSTRATES
 TANKS DETERMINATION
CFrom Tuesdays DaiIy.l

The following figures were given out last night by Secretary Grace NJ. Sparkes of the Yavapai County Liberty Loan Committee. While there may be few additions here and there and a possible change in some of the figures, yet taking the report as a whole it will very prob ably stand as now outlined
 Yavapai county has the proud dis tinction Of having again not only made its quota of $900,0OO but hay ing gone over the top approximately $127,650.
 As will be noted below fifteen of the districts in Yavapai county made their quotas and in many instances not only doubled but also trebled their allotments. In the instances where the allotments were not reached, there is not a case where the Liberty Loan chairman and their workers did not try until heir dis trict had been entirely covered, and the fact that their quotas were not reached is due entirly to general con ditions.
 An appealing feature to the work CTS in Prescott was the fact that when the final figures were counted and the city lacked but $200 of reaching its allotment, it was the mother of a boy who gave his life in he great cause who telephoned that her sub scription for $20O was ready. Follow ing this came another report from the Santa Fe which lifted tne toal subscribed by the Santa Fe officials and employees $4O0 making the grand toal of bonds purchased by the railroad employees residing in Prescott $27,OO0.
 The Verde district again covered itself with glory, the figures speak ing for the splendid work accomplish cd by the workers under the chait' manship of H. w. Lewis for Jerome; Ray C. Lane, Clarkdale; and J. N. Foster. IT,, for Verde The large sub scription of S5OO,OOO made by the United Verde Copper Company, as is evident, swung the pendulum in Yavapai's favor
 Both the men and women workers who have labored hard throughout the county will be presented with a medal from the treasury department. These medals are made from cap tured German cannon Trophy tel- mets have been distributed to the workers. also.
 When the honor roll Of the county has been prepared the list will be printed in the Journal-Aiiner and will form perhaps the last record of war

GALE BLOWS BACK
 TO PURSUITS OF PEACE
(Frcm Sundays Daily.)

Glad that he can now enjoy the ouict lie of an attorney. Alfred r. Gale. late commanding officer of the 1l0th Ammunition train. and for 8 time. adjutant of the artillery brigade of the 35th Division, arrived in Pres cott yesterday. He was accompanied home from the east by Mrs. Gale and Mir. and Mrs. LeRoy Anderson. who met him on his arrival from France.
 It was Gales artillery that the gov ernor oi Kansas charged hadn'. been properly equipped to back up the Kansas troops in the Argonne, but Gale says there Is a lot Of bunk to this. that his brigade supported not only the 35th but parts of other divisions in that memorable battle. The movement of the Kansas troops through the two divisions of Prus- sian guards for a distance of 15 miles in four days, testified to the efficiency of General Traub and his officers and men.
 Gale will reenter the law practice with Anderson, and expects to make this his permanent home.

ELK LODGE MAY GET
 CHANGE AT BIG GAME
(From IuesdaY's DailyO

Joe V. Prochaska. State Game Warden, passed through Prescott yesterday on his way to Winslow,
 where he will meet Paul c. Red dington, the district forester from
 Albuquerque, N. NJ. who will look
 into the report that the Elk Preserve in the Sitgreaves forest reserve in Navajo county, is overstocked with
 Elk. Mir. Prochaska is accompanied by Jas. J. Jones, who will be remem- bered as a candidate for State Treas urer at the last State election; and who is representing the Elks of the
 State.
 Mir. Jones is much interested in the proposed disposition of the surplus elk. It is rumored that, in case the district forester decides that it can be done, that each lodge O. Elks in the State may have a permit to go into this reserve and kill an elk, or more, according to an arrangement that may be made. MT. Jones is in terestcd to sec that nothing happens in any way to endanger the stock of elk in the reserve, as 1t was the E'ks lodge that caused this reserve to be established. But, in case there Is to be any permits granted to hunt, Mir. Jones will see that Elks get the pri- vilege that naturally belongs to them, since they caused the establishment of the herd.
 While on this trip MT. Prochaska will look into the opportunities of the various places where an oppOr- tunity may offer, to establish a fish hatchery. It is proposed to spend about $3O00O on such an institution, and it will be a permanent hatchery, from which the future fish supply of the State can be kept up.
 It is understoon that the locality furnishing the greatest inducement for this hatchery, other things being equal will get the plant Hence. it is up to the various secretaries to get out their dope sheets on fish.
 Another assignment is on the list of Warden Prochaska, and that is that he proposes to restock the vari- ous streams of the north this year with sufficient spawn to insure an abundant supply of fish In future in order that his department may be able to keep up from year to year, 1. he Is seeking to establish the hatch cry as above stated.
