OIL IN ARIZONA

The reported striking of oil at Bowie will do much to stiffen the cour- age of the explorers of other fields and to spur them on to increased efforts. This discovery is the first completely verified strike" in the state, and fur ther news from the Bowie field will be watched for with great and general interest. The existence of oil in that secion was suspected a good many years ago and well was actually begun near the present railroad station, being abandoned after some little depth had been attained. The news from the Hol- brook field is anything but discourag- ing, and it were a bold man who say that Arizona will not pet add to her mineral resources the much needed and valuable petroleum, It is imposi- ble to estimate the benefits that would follow. such a discovery, ,bene- fits that would be felt in every line of industry in the state.

More and more the desirability of having employees become stockhold- CTS is being impressed upon industri- al concerns in this country. TheUnit- ed States Steel Corporation has the largest number of employee-stockhold CTS. but The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is pressing hard for premier honors. Although in the last sale of preferred stock, 17,400 or 60 percent of the Goodyearites subscribed, the company will start drive to have every worker own stock by the end of 1920 Three more sales will be held in March, June and December On the plan of paying for the stock by pay deductions, so that coplete payment will be made within period of two years. Officials are sanguine that nearly all the company's employees will own stock within the next 12 months.

Let's All Be A Little More Careful

The Safety Movement which is now being featured in this district by means of the Safety Week Campaign which opens next week in Morenci and the following week in Clifton, is well in order. An accident is an awful ca 1amity and sometimes they occur so often that we get. to look upon them as an every day occurrence and do not give them the proper attention.
 Statistics show us that accidents at the present time are on the increase; that they are increasing in the same proportion as the number of automo- piles are produced in the Unitde States today. More people are killed by accidents than by war. To illus trate this, the following statistics are in order: In the great war with Ger many 56,00O American soldiers lost their lives that the world might be saved. During this 19 months that in peaceful America, many miles away from this awful conflict, 6,000 men, women and children were kilIe' by accidents, 7596 of which were un- necessary, or might have been avoid ed, had proper safety precautions been employed.
 dn the great war about 200, ,0O0 Ame- rican soldiers were wounded in battle, though not fatally. During the same time here in America over 100000 of our men, women and children were "; ten times as many injured by ac- cidents as were wounded in the war.
 It is therefore very important that this Safety Movement should be given most earnest consideration by every good citizen in the country. The Safety Weeks, as carried on in Morenci and Clifton. are designed to endeavor to enlist the cooperation, or pull-together-spirit, of every man, wo- man ana cnllQ III the community anu py popularizing the Safety Idea get them to think, talk, and act SAFETY more than they have done in the past
 Safety should be considered every body'sbusiness. We are all interested in safety; none of us want to be in jured, ourselves, nor to see anyone else injured, therefore let us all try to be little more careful.
 That is a very appropriate motto for this Safety Week Campaign LETS ALL BE A LITTLE MORE CAREFUL.

SAW SOLDIERS OF FIVE WARS
John Pemterton Oak Has History
Probably UnequaIed by That Of
Any Other Tree.

Soldiers Of five wars have been
drilled beneath the John Pemberton
oak tree, Bristol, Virginia-Tennessee
nominated for a place in the hall
Of fame Of the American forestry
association at Washington by Mrs. III.
#. Lewis, secretary Of Virginia for
the Daughters Of the American Rev
OlutiOn. Under this tree Col. John
Pemberton mustered his troops for
the battle of Kings Mountain. A
marker has been placed on the tree
by the Sycamore Shoals chapter, says
the American Forestry Magazine, in
making the announcement. The sol
diers OF the War Of 1912 met here.
Then came the Mexican wal and the
old tree saw men again leave their
homes to fight. Next came the
struggle between the states. and the
oak witnessed the drilling OF men to
fight one another in their own coun-
try. Then came the world war and
again the veteran oak saw our boys
answer their united cOuntry's call.
