'cuted an agile soft shoe num-
Der, would be beside the point.
There was nothing for you to
do except enjoy Peter Rays
dancing.
To ask if you knew why Ray ap-
peared in a one-man show Satur-
day and Sunday might prove more
Illuminating.
Originally Peter Ray was sched-
uled to appear at Fort Huachuca for
a two-day engagement, arranged by
the Hollywood Victory COMMITTEES,
with the Golden Gate Quartet,
Mantan Moreland, Benny Carter,
Clarence Muse, Princess Luohuana,
Babe" Wallace, May johnson and
Amelia and Pedro A fine-sounding
bill of entertainment, you say, and
why did only Peter Ray show up?
It's story worth telling-even if
it must be told in a rather round
about way: Ray, st. Louisan by
birth, who hoofed in Chicago for
years before going to California, is
now doing his bit toward winning
the war by working as burner and
welder with the Western Pipe and
Steel Company in San Francisco.
("And 1 am burning son-of-a-
gum" he interpolates gleefullyD
A week or so ago he was given a
special leave from his work to ap-
pear for one week at Los Angeles
Orpheum theatre in a special show
featuring such topnotchers as Har-
old Nicholas, Benny Carter's band,
Savannah Churchill and Olivet
Miller. At the conclusion of that
engagement he was asked to come
to Fort Huachuca with the afore-
mentioned group of entertainers.
Somehow everyone scheduled to
make the trip did not show up at
the Angel City Station. Those en-
tertainers who were on time caught
No. 4, for which their passage had
been reserved to Fort Huachuca.
Ray was little behind the first
! group, but with the aid of a Sympa-
thetic taXicab driver he drove to AL
| hambra and caught the No. 6. How
ever, the troupers who had boarded
| No. 4 must have decided that there
was no point in taking half show
to Fort Huachuca. They got off the
train at Alhambra and probably
passed Peter Rays speeding taxi as
they were enroute back to LA.
A few miles out of Yuma, Ray
learned that No. 4, ''up ahead" was
not carrying his colleagues to Fort
Huachuca. "But I was headed for
Fort Huachuca," he declared, so
1 just came on here!"
Although he didn't even have a
ticket for his passage on No. 6, Ray
convinced the conductor that his
passage had been reserved for the
other train. There were no seats in
the day coach in which he travelled,
but he didn't mind sitting on his
bags in the aisle.
'I knew I was doing my bit for
Uncle Sam, and decided there was
nothing to do except see this thing
through" Ray relates. II didn't
know what Fort Huachuca was ex-
pecting, but figured that my little
bit would be appreciated"
And it was!

R. A. Vickers, operator of the
state liquor store here an
nounced that a Whiskey ra-
tioning system has been worked
out and is now in effect.
The plan works as follows:
the whiskey stock on hand is
divided into two parts of 10 and
80 per cent with the dealers
getting IS of the 10 per cent.
This figure was based on past
sales to local dealers.

a declaration sheet at the store
where they will do all their
buying.
Mr.. Vickers stated that indi-
viduals would be limited to
two quarts per week, and that
amount depended on the sup
plv of any particular brand and
whether pints or quarts were
on the shelves.

base where he is stationed.
Two other Hardin boys, George
Rogers and Jake Setback met

GARDEN CLUB
IS ORGANIZED
Meeting Is Held
Friday Night In
Community Room

A chairman, board of direc-
tors and a secretary-treasurer
for the Hardin Victory Garden
club was elected at a meeting
held in the community room Of
the courthouse Friday night.
George w. Gustafson was
elected chairman, the Rev. Cor
don Winsor, J. j. Ping and R.
B. Saunders were named as di-
rectorS and A. R. Hegre was
chosen as secretary-treasurer.
A previously appointed COM
mittee reported on various sites
where a community garden
could be grown.
Tentative plans are to secure
a location of several acres near
the city and divide the parcel
of land into small plots. Those
joining the club would share
equally the expense of irriga-
ton and preparing the land.
Members could plant any vege-
table crop they desired. The
committee stated that they be-
lieved it would be less work and
expense for many Hardin peo-
pie to join the garden club
than to spend their time and
money preparing the soil in
town where gardens have not
been grown before.
Fred Haug, section boss for
the C. B. g. O.. railroad, stated
that the right of way along the
tracks could be used for Vic
tory gardens. 1t is the policy
of the railroad to let people
make use of the right of way
without charge, he said.
All that is necessary to Sc
cure a right of way plot is to
obtain an application blank
from the nearest Burlington
agent. The Victory gardener
may select his own plot, and
provided it does not interfere
with railroad operations, a per-
NIT will be issued promptly.
The only restriction on plant
ings is that the crops do not
constitute a fire or safety haz-
ard or obstruct drainages.
Persons wishing to sign up
for the Victory Garden may do
so BY contracting George w.
Gustafson or any member of
the committee. A list of names
has already been started.
