splendid TRIBUTE To MARK smith
BY ENTHUSIASTIC RAY ADMlRER
WORKS AND DEEDS OF VENERABLE SENATOR
OUTLINED IN CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE;
WRITER HAD OPPORTUNITY FOR OBSERVA-
TION AT SAN CARLOS CELEBRATION

investigation and survey. of other dam
sites on the Gila river
Reports on all of these investiga-
tions have been published Favorable
and unfavorable reports have been
made. My constant purpose has been
and is to eventually obtain an appro-
priation sufficient to control the Gila
and erect. the dam at San Carlos. AS
the prime mover in the irrigation pro-
ject, am naturally anxious that it
,materialize. In my judgment it will
eventually be done. All wild prom
ises of grabbing money out of the
public treasury by the millions and
applying it at once to the Arizona ir-
rigation projects are misleading.
There is not state in the Union
that is not demanding aid from our
government, many of them for drain
ing swamp lands, and the western
states for getting appropriations for
irrigation projects, and it will require
the most intelligent and persistent eff
forts to finally secure for Arizona suf-
ficient funds for this project
Considering these sincere utter
ances, can any one for a moment
question the integrity of Senator
Smith or his determination to work
for the best good of this great state,
including the realization of the great
San Carlos project that would stand
as concrete and constant reminder
of his efforts toward the advancement
of irrigation and the turning of arid
lands into vast fertile fields?
No! The building of this structure
and the ultimate resultant advantages
would mean the qualification Of his
sincerest wish to see happy homes \
where now is found only desert
waste.
1t seems idle to presume that any
man, no matter how great, lacking the
years of senatorial experience with
their associations and knowledge of
the vast problems that call for i'm
mediate consideration, could don, the
senatorial toga and do as efficient
service for Arizona as would the Hon
orable Mark Smith, who has accom-
plished so much and who will con-
'tinue to assert his efforts and influ-
ence in behalf of his constituents and
for the progress of Arizona.

RAY SCHOOL NOTES

Prospects are exceptionally good
for banner year in the Ray schools.
While many schools are having diff
Guilty in securing efficient teachers,
the lineup for teachers for the Ray
schools is complete.
At the Lincoln high scnool, Profess
sor Allen, young man of ability and
experience will have the mathematics
and athletics.
Miss Hodgdon, a graduate of the
University of Minnesota, will have
charge of the commercial work and
science.
Miss Laudermilch will have charge
of English and history.
Miss Bean will have the Spanish.
At the Lincoln grammar school, Mr..
William R. Davis, who comes from In
diana, is to be principal and have
charge of the manual training in the
high school and grammar school.
At the Washington school, at So
nora, Miss Wealthy Elder, a young
woman of extensive training and ex-
perience, will take Miss Moore's
place.
The vocational work in the Wash
ington school will be in charge of Miss
King and Miss Hilderbrandt in the
home economics department, and Miss
Muir in the trades work.
Miss Muller, the efficient nurse,
who has been doing such splendid
work, especially among the children
in Sonora during the summer months,
has consented to return for another
year. This will be source of graft
fication to those in charge as Miss
Muller has added wonderfully to the
efficiency of the boys and girls of
Ray since she has been looking after
their physical welfare.
At the stone building, known as the
Dunham building, which will he
known as the Lincoln high building,
many improvements have been made
including coat of paint on all wood
work inside and out, partitions in

1t. is well to keep in mind continu
ously the fact that the sun still shines,
although for the moment it may be
shining on the other side of our earth
and not on our own side, but in due
course, however, it's genial rays will
again warm and comfort us.
It is said that the darkest hour is
just before the dawn, and if man

liant with coming light; the sun sheds
forth it's rays of warmth and cheeri-

forebodings of darkness and bringing
hope and cheer to every human heart
A similar situation is approaching
in the affairs of our daily lives. The
night is passing and new day is

BASEBALL PLANS FOR FUTURE
TAKE ON BRIGHT OUTLOOK
MANAGER HUTTON SIGNS ON SEVERAL PLAY
ERS; COLLECTIONS FROM FANS NOW BEING
TAKEN IN SUPPORT OF NEW OUTFIT:
SCHEDULE OF GAMES TO BE PLAYED.

The rejuvenation of the Ray team
is taking place and will be partially
completed on Sunday, Aug. %, when
Ray meets Superior on the Ray
grounds.
Manager Hutton has secured the
services of John McAlpine, shortstop,
from Oakland Coast league; Blinkiron,
an outfielder, and Guthrie, a pitcher,
both from the Northwestern league;
Clark, pitcher; Davis, infeld, and
Young, outfield, from the University
of California.
McAlpine, Blinkiron and Guthrie ar
rive for the game Sunday, while the
others will be on hand to add the fin
ishing touches the following game.
The management of the ball team
is entitled to the unqualified support
of every fan, both morally and finan-
cially, and it is the desire and hope
that every one who is now assisting
the club, even in the smallest way,
will continue to lend their support
until after the series of nine games
has been played.
At the games it is not necessary
to wait until the boys get into tight
hole, or the visitors have the game
sewed up, before the rooters for the
home fans start backing the home
boys with their moral support; the
support from the fans should be given
them every minute of the game from
the time it starts. The moral support
goes a long way toward helping the
home team and with the annexing of
the new players, the Ray fans should
be treated to some wonderful base
ball playing.
1t takes good players to make a
good ball game; it costs money to get
good players-the result? The fans
who love the game should support it
and it is to be hoped that Ray may
come out on top in this series, and
they have a good chance, with your
support.
Your continued financial aid for the
next nine games will be appreciated,
and you can hand your subscriptions
to Sam Chappell at the Ray Con. hotel
or r. A. o. Montgomery, at the Her
cules office, both of whom will fur
nish you a receipt for all moneys
paid

STATE TREASURER
CANVASS LOOKS
LIKE EARHART

Raymond R. Earhart, candidate for
the democratic nomination for state
treasurer, has just concluded a state
wide campaign that has taken him
into nearly every county in Arizona,
and won for him pledges of support
from every section of the state.
Friends of Earhart who have close
ly followed his campaign declare that
he has made one of the most notable
of the pre-primary canvasses ever
seen in political campaign in this
state, his candidacy meeting every
wheer with a degree of spontaneous
support such as few candidates have
Earhart supporters point to his emf
nent' qualifications for the office of
treasurer and sheriff in Santa Cruz
county, and to his capable and ener-
getic manner of handling public busi-
ness in the same efficient manner as
he would his own.
There is every indication, his sup
porters say, that he will receive the
democratic nomination for> this i'm
portant office, not only by reason of
his excellent record as public Off
cial in the border county, but also
because of his personality and his
record as citizen, and they predict
that, if nominated, he will poll one
of the largest votes of any of the
candidates on the state ticket

NOTES ON AMERICAN
LEGION CONVENTION

In some quarters of Pinal county
the opinion has been heard expressed
that the American Legion is a politi-
cal organization, and the resolution
adopted at the Globe convention
which states that the American Lee
gion is unalterably opposed to parti-
san politics or furthering the candi-
dacy of any member of the Legion,
will be hailed by all the members of
that organization with much satisfac-

posed to having any of it's members
aspire to public office, but they want

much right to run for office as any

they please.

DELAYED SCORE
GOOD BALL GAME
Florence VS.. Casa Grande Ball Game
on San Carlos Day at Flor
ence, August IL

One of the best games of the entire
season was played on the Florence
Coleman grounds, when the local ia
vorites were defeated in tight game
which really, in the judgment of the
entire crowd, should have been a
10 game.
The local boys did themselves proud
in their work, and it was good game
on any mans diamond. 1t was un-
fortunate that the decision of Umpire
Langford should have been adverse to
the home team, tut he evidently
called it as he saw it, though there
was much dissatisfaction.
The Ray boys came down en- masse
and rooted for Florence and were
sorry to see the game lost, but it was
all agreed that it was tiptop game.
One thing apparent to the visitors
was lack OF roofing on the part of
the home town people when the locals
were in a tight place.
Harry Stewart pitched a good game
and so did Cross. Stewart had seven
strike-outs to his credit, with three
hits against him, the first not being
obtained until the fifth inning.
Cross had nine strike outs to his
credit, with two hits against him, the
first hit being by Tonneman in the
second
Errors were one against ]. Rodri-
guez, on the Florence team, with three
against Miller, third baseman for Casa
Grande.

The Ray and Superior delegation
went to the convention to endorse the
best man for state commander and
the candidate from Casa Grande,
whom we nor anyone else outside of
Casa Grande ever heard of, did not
seem to be the logical candidate. Both
posts as we'll as Gila county, Cochise
county, Santa Cruz, Pima and all the
counties in the southern party of the
state were strong for Christie of Hay
den, who commands the only 100 per
cent post in the state, but the Flor
ence delegation cast the deciding vote
for Bert Clingan of Phoenix. In con-
sequence, Phoenix gets the state com
mander, and it was also successful in
putting over the next convention to
Prescott.

Wigg-Every man is apt to meet his
match.
Wagg-Yes, especially if he has
money to burn.
The Arizona copper camp., 1920-08-21

Casa Grande sent one delegate
named Hobby to the convention and
he came instructed. His race for
state commander was about as ener-
getic as Governor Edwards race for
the democratic nomination, and on the
second ballot the only vote he re-
ceived was the one he cast for him
self. Hobby was some boy.
