With the first week of the Ma

Coolidge is leading the larger COM

ing steadily, and Superior Is count
ing on a great weekend drive to
put them over the top there. Riv-
ers hopes to come through with 100
per cent by Monday. Paul Loucks.
county chairman. reports that while
there are some tough spots ahead.
1t looks like Pinal County will make
the goal again this year.
Coolidge is at the two-thirds
mark in collections for the National
War Fund according to D. S. Dav-
is. chairman. Total to date is ap-
proximately $1,000 with Coolidge
goal set at $3,10O.
Wednesday, reports from state
headquarters revealed that Coolidge
was leading the entire state, and by
virtue of this accomplishment en-
abled Pinal County to be listed as
number one county. 1t Is hoped
that Coolidge will be the first over
the top.
Mr.. Davis Is making his final ap-
peal for full cooperation on this
home stretch" drive. There must
be no let down until we have not
only made the goal, but have gone
way beyond, he said.

All Farmers May
Have Prisoners OF
WarCotton Pickers

Prisoners OF war Will be made
available to all Pinal County farm
ers who request this type of cotton
picking labor, subject of course to
the farm being within reasonable
distance of either the Florence In
ternment Camp or the several
side camps, it was announced to-
day by Frank H. Rhew, chairman
of the Pinal county farm labor ad-
visory committee.
At the present time there are
seven crews of approximately 100
men each working out of the main
camp at Florence, in the vicinities
of Magma, Florence and Coolidge.
Three crews of about the same
number are also working out OF
each of the side camps, located
nine miles south of Eloy, and 15
miles west of Casa Grande.
It Is hoped that within a short
time two or three additional crews
will be available from both the
Eloy and Casa Grande side camps.
No further increase is expected In
the number Of crews being worked
out of the main camp at Florence.
Work has started on the renovation
of the camp located on the Rhine
hart ranch one mile north of Eloy,
and it is expected also that three
and possibly four crews will be a
vailable from that camp.
Rhew emphasized that the Pinal
county farm labor advisory COM
mittee looks upon the prisoners of
war as a public labor resource"
which should be used to help as
many farmers as possible in gather
ing their crop, rather than a few.
With that is view arrangement has
been made whereby picking sacks
are furnished, and various crews
are moved each week to new farms.
The War Department allows de-
duction in the rate charged the
farmer for picking of ten cents per
hundredweight, and this is paid to
the Farm Labor Office of the Agri-
cultural Extension Service toward
liquidation of the cost of these pick
ing sacks.
Farmers wishing to use prisoners
of war in cotton picking should ap-
ply at the farm labor office in Casa
Grande. This office Is located on
the Tucson highway in the building
formerly occupied by the Goff Chew
rolet Company. For the conven-
ience of farmers Mr.. Benjamin
Gardner. labor office manager.
spends each Thursday morning at
the Justice of the Peace office in
Coolidge, where he may be contact
ed and receive applications for cot
ton picking help.
Any farmer applying for prisoner
Of war help should know that ne
will be able to furnish transporta-
ton from the camp to his farm and
return for approximately 100 men
Owing to the limited number o.
guards available, it is necessary
that no picking crew be less thar
100 men. To transport such
group requires a good truck ant
trailer, equipped with good tire
and safety hitch, or large sem:
trailer.

Thieves Break
Into Hayduke's
Friday Night

which was kept in a steel filing
cabinet, a dozen quartz of liquor
were taken. Nothing else was dis
turbed.
At last report no trace of the
thieves had been found.

AS THE END OF

AS THE END OF
the 1914 presidential campaign
draws to it's close a lot of folks
are getting just a little tired and
bored with much of the political
tripe being served up by spokes-
men for the two candidates and
even with many statements of the
contenders themselves.

furthered by his attack on the
presidents dog and just as certain
ly Mr.. Roosevelt did not further
endear himself to the American
public by his reply.
AND THEN COMES
Boss Ed Kelly of the Bourbon
machine which dominates Chicago
politics, waving red flag and
shouting there will be rejoicing
in Berlin if Roosevelt is defeated"
and then further insults the aver
age citizen by suggesting there
may even be revolt in the British
parliament.
1T APPEARS TO US
that. both the president and his
opponent are continuing the eva
siveness which marked their cam
paign for the nomination of their
respective parties when each
stoutly denied his candidacy and
assumed an attitude of coyness
while every man, woman and child
in the country knew theirs was
but an act.
