HEALTH
SURVEY STARTS
AT RAY, SONORA
Miss Kathryn Moore, Repre-
senting State Board of
Health and Arizona Anti
tuberculosis Association,
Begins Work in District.

For the purpose of discovering the
needs of the several counties and pro-
viding remedial measures, the Ari-
zona State Board Of Health and the
Arizona Anti tuberculosis association
are conducting statewide public
health survey. This week the work
was started in Pinal county by Miss
Kathryn Moore, deputy survey di-
rector, who has selected Ray and
Sonora as the first towns for her at
tention. The survey is to be made by
house ito house canvas for the as
certaining of information concerning
the health of the people, the santa
ton of homes and premises and the
relation of one to the other
Realizing that Arizona has a big
problem in infant and child welfare,
special attention is being given to the
care afforded the infants and children
and the measures necessary to pre-
vent them from infection in early life
which may later be the means of saw
ing many lives and lessening the large
child and infant death rate in this
state. The survey as conducted dur
ing the past two months in some of
the southern counties of the state
show, that, while Arizona has a large
number of tubercular patients who
have migrated here from other states,,
she also has big problem in safe
guarding the children and infants
from infection by the INDECENT and
careless tuberculosis nonresident
Examination of large number of
children taken from the homes of
these tuberculous adults recently dis
closed the fact that over SO per cent
of these children already showed
marked evidence of incipient tuber-
culosis. That proper food and care
must be given these children to pre-
vent them from becoming active and
positive cases of tuberculosis, and
eventually contributors to the already
large tuberculosis death rate in Ari-
zona, has been forcibly demonstrated.
The doing away with congestion in
the homes, the adoption of better SAM
tation, the provision of proper milk
and food, will all do much toward saw
ing the child life and reducing the
tremendous unnecessary loss of life.
Communities in which it is difficult
to obtain supply of clean, fresh
cows milk have often resorted to the
provision of milk from herds of goats.
Goats milk is very rich and nouMsh-
ing and when properly modified may
be used for food for small children
and infants. 1t is more easily digest
ed and is safe food for infants.
The handling of the milk supply,
however, should be scrupulously clean.
Unster.lized cans, dirty hands, etc.,
can infect the purest milk and make it
unfit for human consumption.
The survey now being conducted is
not so much for the purpose of con-
demning people for their faults as it
is to show them the better way of
living as a stepping-stone to greater
health, happiness and content. The
expense of the survey is being borne
in part by the state board of health
and in part by the Arizona Ant:-Tuber-
culosis association. One-half of the
state has been covered and it is ex-
pected that in the fall months the en-
tire state will have been surveyed.

There was flip young clerk at the
boarding house table, who was always
trying to show off. He seldom asked
in the usual way to have a thing
passed to him, but had to get off some
thing smart. One lNay when he wanted
the milk he sang out, Drive the COW

sat at the head of the table, called the

CLIFF JORDAN PICKED TO WALLOP
RUFUS IN STRENUOUS BATTLE HERE
ON JULY FIFTH; JORDAN'S RECORD
CALIFORNIA FIGHTER rs MARVEL OF CLEVER
NESS: RUFUS OLD RING GENERAL, ALL SET
FOR ARIZONA'S FASTEST FIGHT.

ner at the end of the fourth round as
though the ring were mile square"
A Lot of Gloves
The fight was over before Jordan
had got really started, and the fellow
who was in the lead at the end of the
fourth round won. However, four
rounds is not far enough to get line
on how good a man is, and when Cliff
climbs into the ring here for his ten
round go against Rufus Williams, in
our humble judgment Rufus is going
to get hit with everything except the
water bucket. When Jordan cuts
loose, there are million gloves flying
around that old ring, and if Rufus
doesn't get dizzy keeping out of the
way, the fight may go ten rounds, but
we doubt it very much.
On paper Jordan certainly figures
to win, for, if Rufus is as good as Jor-
dan, why hasn't he been out in Cali
fornia boxing headliners against such
fellows as Sailor Petrosky, Walter
Caldwell. K. o. Krovosky. Marty Far
rell, or Battling Ortega, all of whom
are headliners in their division, and
all of whom. with the exception OIL
Ortega, have gone down to bitter and|
complete defeat at the hands of the|
speedy Cliff.
Rufus Clever Fighter
For Rufus, it must be said, is clever|
and fast; he has hard wallop, and|
is an old ring general. However, heI
boxes flat-footed and has to set him.
self before he can hit. In his lastI
fight here against Kid George he did
not have strength enough left at theI
end of the fight to put George away
and had to take the decision. WhereI
was that wallop we hear about? HeI
might have one, all right, but it will
have to be in evidence more promi-
nently against Jordan than in the last
fight, if Rufus figures to get by with
the winners end Of the purse this
trip.
Jordan is a marvel of c1everness,
always takes the aggressive andz
forces the fighting, has hard wallop
and can hit from any angle. He has
a fighting heart, and time after time
when he has stood toe to tie with the
big fellows out at Vernon and swappeda
punches with them, it was always
Cliff who was the last to falter under
the strain.
Arizona's Biggest Fight
The fight will take place at the Jua
rez theatre in Sonora on the evening
of July 5 at o'clock, and will, in
all probability, be over by $3.50, in
time for the excursions from Hayden
and Phoenix to be on their way be
fore 9. At least three preliminaries
will precede the main event and res
ervations for ringside seats are com
ing in fast and furious from all over

be placed on sale until July l, and

store, and all seats will be numbered

A disastrous second inning gave
Miami last Sundays contest by a
score of Is to 9. Nickle, the new
pitcher for Ray, arrival in camp Sun
day afternoon and went right in the
box, with the result that he was not
only the initial cause of losing the
game, but it was beyond the pale of
an average chance of redeeming the
Ray team when he left the box in the
second inning with three men on
bases and four runs having slid
across. The human element in base
ball entered very strongly into this
game, and, while Nickle played an
excellent game out of the box, he
sure fell off the idolistic pedestal dur
ing the game Sunday when seven
runs were framed for the visitors in
the second inning.
Nickle will make a good man for
the Ray team. He will be a good
pitchery and he played good bah out
of the box on Sunday. He brought
in three runs out of five times at bat
and of the runs two were brought.
about by good clean hitting, one to
left in the third, and one to right in
the eighth. He put five men on first
on balls and hit two men.
Let US hope, now that he has got
ten thoroughly initiated into the eli
mate, etc., and the players have had
good chance to size him up, that he
will settle down and make good. He
looks like it is in him and the gen
eraf opinion of the Ray fans is that
he will make good. The, Ray fans
are behind him and wish him good
luck in his game Sunday with Flor
ence
After the flareup of the new Nickle,
Tonneman went in and was found for
two homers. Toney's arm hurt him
and Beaumiller took the mound in
the eighth.
The game was fairly well tightened
up after the second frame, which
seemed to put everybody in pretty
much of a frenzy. Wychob put on
the togs behind the bat in the second.
Toney went to the box and Nickle to
first.
In the eighth Beaumiller went to
the box and Tonneman put on the
catcher's regal.a, and Nickle stayed
on first. Nickle looks good on first,
and it may he that he will have to
have quite lot of workout to get in
trim for the box, but he has a head
on him and we would like to see him
make good in that position, for that
is weak spot in the Ray team.
Ray goes to Florence on Sunday,
June 27, to play the strong county
seat team.
The talk of the town, though, is the
big game on the 5th of July. The
old reliable Ray Con. closes down on
the 5th. This is one of the two days
in the year the digging of copper is
laid aside and forgotten in the cele-
bration of the nations independence.
On this day the Standard Oil baseball
team will journey from Phoenix to
Ray with the expectation of laying
the Ray team on the cold slab. Moth
ing like that in this town. With the
present aggregation and the impor-
tation of another whom Doc Hutton
has in mind, the Phoenix boys will
go home sadder but wiser bunch.
The Ray team will win the game with,
the oilers, for they have made up
their mind to that effect. In fact, the
Ray bunch says they will beat the
Oilers so badly they will holler "mur-

c. F. Schilling, who last week an
nounced his candidacy to succeed him
self as member of the board of su-
pervisors, has been resident of and
booster for Pinal county for over 25
wears. When his present term of Of
flee shall have expired he will have
served the people of Pinal county in
the office of supervisor for four years,
and his service has given an opper
tunity for the voters to familiarize
themselves with his ability He has
made good in his position absolutely.
At the time of the election he prom
ised to serve the best interests of the
people and he has kept faith with
them. He had always voted to spend
the peoples money where it would do
the most good, and voted to award
contracts to the lowest bidder, best re-
turn to the taxpayers on money in
vested considered; in fact, he has tried
to eliminate personal politics and has
given to Pinal county business ad-
ministrat:on.
On this principle, Mr.. Schilling is
asking for a return to the office. He
is one of the best-informed road men
in this section of the state, having
studied the road situation and local
conditions thoroughly for the past four
years, which means that he would take
into the office with him a practical
knowledge of incalculable value to the
taxpayers.
Mr.. Schilling has many friends
throughout the county, and his nomi:
nation will practically mean his cleo
ton. He intends, however, to make
campaign for the office and will
earnestly solicit the support of all
voters and taxpayers.
In our column of political announce
ments this week will be found the
name of Dave Little, who aspires for
the republican nomination for district
attorney of this county. Mr. Little
has been resident of Arizona for
nearly ten years, and prior to coming
here had experience in the office of
states attorney in the city of Chicago,
and later in the office of the county
attorney Of Maricopa county at Phoe-
nix. In his work of court reporting
he has had a splendid opportunity to
especially prepare himself to take over
the duties of the county attorneys
office. His friends in this locality are
arguing that he will serve Pinal coun-
ty as faithfully and capably as he
served his country in the late war.
Judging from expressions of resi-
dents of various parts of the county
who have recently been in Ray; Thur
mans candidacy for the nomination
for sheriff is meeting with especial
favor.

Whenever men assemble about the
ringside, waiting for the main event,
they talk about the fights they have
seen somewhere else, and about the
fighters whom they regard as the best
in their division All winter long,
while Rufus Williams has been per-
forming here, the street chatter and
the ringside gossip has been, "Why
don't they bring Cliff Jordan over here
if they want to get this chocolate
drop whipped?" But it was easier
said than done, and when Matchmaker
E. T. Green of the American Legion
did at last succeed in securing Jor-
dan here for July 5th, he secured
headliner that no other promoter in
Arizona was able to secure. For
Cliff is top-notcher and has been
the best drawing card Jack Doyle has
had at his Vernon arena for many
months.
But it has cost money to secure
Jordan, and this little town of ours
can boast of the best fight ever held
in Arizona as an inducement for the
fight fans throughout the state to jour
ney here to Ray on July 5. Out in
California, Jordan took on all the best
middlewe:ghts in the country, and
only once did that green light flash
over the corner of his opponent in
token of victory, and that was his
last fight with Battling Ortega. But
there are two sides to. the story, and,
as the sporting editor of Los An
geles paper remarked next day, when
the bout was over Ortega had shot his
bolt, and he walked back to his cor
