 The town of Clemenceau, in Yava- pal county where the smelter of the United Verde Extension Mining Company is located, is working night and day in an effort to convince the man for whom it was named Georges Clemenceau-that he should pay the Arizona town a visit before returning to his native land.
 Residents of the Verde valley pro- pose to have a monster barbecue at Clemenceau, and the United Verde Extension company has offered to pour copper for 24 hours for the benefit of disabled French veterans of the world war. President Storey of the Santa Fe railway, has ordered to move the donated copper free of charge to port of shipment. He also proffered to Clemenceau the use of private car. from Chicago to the town he was named after.
 Following is the invitation for warded to Georges Clemenceau:

 "Clemenceau lies in the valley of the Verde river,-at this point one of the most beautiful valleys in the world-and at this time of the year has most delightful and invigorating climate; it is situated about eighty miles south of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and is over the divide from California, and has direct rail- road connections with the Santa Fe system, both east and west.
