BOIL WEEVIL COSTLY PEST
Has Caused S125, 100000 Loss
in Cotton in 20 Years.

Washington, Oct So.-The cotton boil
weevil, the greatest pest of the South,
has caused loss Of tl25, oOo, 900, represent
ed by 255o,oO0 bales OF cotton, since the
weevil first invaded this country accord
ing to an estimate of the Department OF
Agriculture, issued to-day. The weevil
crossed the Rio Grande into the United
States twenty years ago.
The problem Of the control OF the boil
weevil will be more difficult as the pest
continues its invasion of the cotton belt"
announced the department. 1T cannot
be considered as yet completely solved.
There Is no occasion TO lose hope, but
there must be devised better means of
controlling the pest and reducing the
enormous loss suffered, especially during
unf6vorable seasons in Texas"

New County Officers Inaugurated Next Week

If the hopes of the newly elected county officers go through and Presi- dent Taft signs the Arizona statehood proclamation next Monday, Oincoln's s birthday), then the county officers of the new state in the various counties will take their oath of office, about Tuesday, except, horrible thought, some of them may object to taking the oath of office on the 13th-hoo doo-of the .nonth, and for that req son may stall off their inauguration until Wednesday, the 14th, one week from today.
 Of course, nobody in Arizona is su nerstitious, but just the same some oi the new officers may figure that it is just as we'll to go into office and get a valentine on the 14th, as it is to go into office on the 18th and-maybe get a hoodoo.
 Anyhow, prepare next week to make your bow to-

Commercial Club

The board of directors of the Yuma County Commercial Club met in spec ial session last evening, all the direc- tors being present.
 Assessor elect A. B. Ming appeared before the club and exhibited pc tion to congress which was signed by over 400 citizens of Yuma, and which asked congress to appropriate money for a bridge across the Colorado at Yuma.
 MT. Ming also presented letters to the club which he wished the presi- dent of the club to sign, and which were addressed to Arizona's U. s. sen. tors and congressman elect.
 President Miller signed the letters in the presence of the club.
 MT. Ming stated that the petition and the letters would be forwarded at once.
 The special committee on finances appointed at the last meeting reported that it was not yet ready to report and they were given until the regular meeting Friday evening to report.
 The matter of finances, club head quarters and the election of a new sec retary were discussed at length, but it was decided to do nothing until the finance committee had reported.
 The club also passed a resolution asking any citizen to write to any con- gressman or senator in their old home them to assist Yuma in se- curing the bridge, or to write to any influential friend.
 The club discussed the matter cf holding a celebration next Monday evening in honor of statehood, but took no action as there was no avail able fund for this purpose.
 The regular meeting next Friday evening will be an important one, as a secretary will probably be elected, and the work for the year mapped out
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1912-02-08

The object of the call of the meet ing is to affect a permanent organiZa tion of a Municipal league with off, cers in which all the people will have confidence, said League to be on a strictly non-partisan basis.
 To bond the town of Yuma for pub lie improvement such as streets, parks, etc., and to advocate and bring about if possible, the municipal ownership Of all pubic utilities So far as the town is concerned.
 There was some talk of the Com mission form of government, but Yu ma is not yet in the city charter class, and it will be the province of the Municipal League to push forward those things that are for the benefit end protection of the taxpayers and the town as whole.
 The whole proposition will be gone over thoroughly at the meeting next Tuesday night, and as tine matter IS one in wlich every citizen of Yuma is interested, it is to be hoped there is a large attendance at the city hall E'eering.
 Public owno rship of pubic utilities is one If the best things that can come to any town, and as every thing in Ari- zona seems to be tending toward gov ernment by the people at all times, now would appear to be the accepted time to % after this worthy lLuve ana get it started.
