Three Cent Fare After August lst

In compliance with an order is-
sued by the Corporation Commis-
sion, the four largest railroads in
the state will, on August /, 1916.
reduce their passenger rates, in
ali but one case. to three cents per
mile. The one road exempted is
the Arizona Eastern, and they will
be allowed to charge three and a
half cents per mile on the Phoenix
division, and on the Globe Cochise
division a rate of four cents per
mile per passenger will be allow.
cd. The former rate on these di-
visions was three and one-half
cents per mile.
The three roads that are forced
to reduce their rates so drastically
are the Southern Pacific, the Globe
and Gila Valley, and the Santa
Fe.
The railroads which are ex-
empted from the three cent order
are the FL Paso and Southwestern,
the Grand Canyon, the Morenci
Southern, the United Verde and
Pacific, the Arizona and New
Mexico, the Shannon-Arizona, the
Arizona and Swansea, the Magma.

The Signal, along with a
large number of citizens more
or less directly interested,
would inwardly rejoice at
some tangible evidence of a
new roadway extending from
Benson down the river. The
Board of Supervisors have as
sured citizens of Benson who
took the matter up with them
that county aid would be ex-
tended and that a surveyor
would be put in the field at
once to locate the best route.
That was several weeks ago,
but so far if any survey for
relocating the road has been
made it has not come tolight.
1t is to be hoped that the
Board will realize the impor-
tance of this road to the peo-
pie living in the section of the
county served by it and act
promptly in fulfilling its pro-
mise to lend its aid.

The reason why some
homeseekers are 50 hard to
please is because they are
looking for place where they
can do like they have been
doing says a writer on farm
topics. They are unwilling
to change their style of farm
ing. If a man raised corn in
Iowa he expects to raise it
anywhere else. The farmer
who is willing to farm to suit
the country will find plenty
of country to suit him. Many
a farmer thinks he needs a
change of location when he
only needs to change his
mind.

step out and take the lead, and
the matter still lies dormant.
In the mean while people
riding or driving into town
must water their animals as

How TO Kill Files

To clear rooms of flies carbolic
acid may be used, as follows: Heat
a shovel or any similar article and
drop thereon twenty drops of car
bolic acid. The vapor kills the
flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable
fly poison, one which is not dan
gerous to human life, is bichrom-
ate of potash in solution. Dissolve
one dram, which can be bought at
any drug store, in two ounces Of
water, and add q little sugar. Put
some of this solution in shallow
dishes and distribute them about
the house.
A solution of formalin or for
maldehyde in water is said to be
effective. A teaspoonful of this
liquid put into fourth of q pint of
water and exposed in the room,
will kill all the flies.
To quickly clear the room where
there are many flies, burn pyre-
thrum powder in the room. This
Supplies the flies and they fall on
the floor, when they may be swept
up and burned.
