Education Receives Attention and Schools of County and
 City Rank with the Best

Communities that may be termed in process of settlement or that are enjoying a rapid development are con- fronted with problems that have ceas- ed to be problematical in older and more densely populated settlements. While Cochise County leads all oth- CTS in Arizona in population, has come of the largest and most important cit ies, those cities are making rapid growth and progress and there are vast agricultural sections where set clement has only just begun. Thus Cochise county is confronted by the conditions cited. Further it seems to be a trait of the Arizonan-and mo- where is that trait more pronounced than in Cochise County expect and demand for himself and his family conditions as good as those that exist in the older states of the union. lt is such trait that makes SO much for the rapid progress of Young Arizona9.

Arizona is the land of opportunity for tho adult the child must be equipped lC graps such opportunities with matur ] ity. And SO the the residents of Co chise County have ever been ready . to contribute lberally and bounuilll3 l for the building, support and mainter ance of schools.

changes in the recent seasons for hunt
ing small and large game.
The northern hunters contend that
while conditions in the southern coun-
ties may warrant such a departure
from the present laws, the enactment
of the Phillips bill as now drafted
would practically kill the sport in the
upper tier of counties. This is due to
the fact that winter begins there much
earlier than in the counties along and
near the southern border.
There is some talk of trying to
please everybody by having the state
opportioned into hunting districts with
different seasons in each district so as
to meet local conditions. but this is
not considered practicable.
The State Game Commission finds
itself handicapped trying to propa-
gate wild game life in the state due
to the setback in getting quail from
Mexico and Cuba. The commission,
however. has met with no difficulty in
securing packrabbits. Thosands of
"cottontails" have been brought here
from Virginia and other southern
states and turned loose in the woods.

Senator Beidleman is a member of

disadvantage and firms which might

bacteria of icro-organisms. Com
monty these are referred to as disease
germs.
Bacteria are minute organisms the
largest of which are only some ten or
twelve thousandths of an inch in
length. Not all bacteria are harmful
but those which, are responsible for
disease when introduced into the human
or animal anatomy multiply with
startling rapidity and give off poisons
which cause sickness and death. Mil
lions of these organisms could be con-
tanned in a single drop of water
There are three very common ways
in which disease germs are carried
from person to person and introduced
into the system-fngers, food and in
sects. Foods which are eaten raw and
milk and water are those most likely
to transmit infection. Thorough cook

is carried as follows:
There are many things in the world
which our five senses unaided would
never apprise us of. There are sounds
too delicate for the ear to hear, odors
which we cannot smell, fiavors which
we fail to recognize movements and
vibrations to which our nerve centers
do not respond and innumerable OBJ
jects in nature which we cannot see.
Even the braVest man shrinks from
danger which is unseen. The dead1iest
enemies of mankind are absolutely
invisible to the naked eye. Tubercu-

tobacco abroad are excelled by only
seven OF the many products America
sends to other countries. These tobac-
co exports exceed In value such items
as cotton manufactures. electrical ma
chinery. paper and paper products and
leather and leather manufactures. The
dislocatlon Of trade resulting from the
war has had it's effect on these tobacco
sales, however. just as 1t has upon the
exports of many other Items. The
sales Of manufactured leaf have suf-'
fered most. and these sales represent
the bulk OF our tobacco exports In the
first place, 1t Is practically impossible
to ship leaf to some Of the belligerents
at all; and, in the second place. the
factories in the warning countries that
are accessible are not taking their US
ual supply Of leaf. probably because
sufficient labor can not be spared to
manufacture 1t. Our manufactured
tobacco is holding It's own in spite Of
war, thanks largely to increasing de-
mands from the far east and oceania.
