ARE you ONE OF THEMr

There are a great many people
who would be very much benefited
by taking Chamberlin' S Tablets for
a weak ar disordered stomach. Are
you one of them? Mrs. M. r.
Scarf, Baldwinsville, n. Y, relates
her experience in the use of these
tablets I qad a bad spell with
my stomach about six months ago,
and was troubled for two Or three
weees with gas and severe pains in
the pit of my stomach. One drug
gist advised me to take Chamber

home and the first dose relieved me
wonderfully, and l kept on taking
them until | was cured. y These
tablets do not relieve pain, but af-
ter the pain has been relieved may

the idea of constructing an irrigat-
ing canal on the cast side of the
river, for watering what was then
desert land, and now the flourish
ing farming colony of Pomerene.
He watched a certain point on the
San Pedro river for eight years.
He wanted to be sure there was
enough water to justify the dnder-
taking. About this time his store
burned, without insurance, caus-
ing loss of about $4,000. This
was farther handicap to the car
rying out of his plans, but a year
or SO afterward he began work on
the canal and constructed about
two miles of it alone and unaided
by capital other than his own. Up
to this time no one had shown
much faith in the enterprise, but
practical illustration speaking
louder than words. Messrs. Steve
Roemer and Doane and Horace
Merrill became interested in the
undertaking and the ditch was car
ried through to completion. Today
some fifty families have their
homes under the Benson Canal.
Mr.. Cosby lived to see his dreams
come true and fruitful fields and
peaceful homes take the place of
what before was barren land.
Mr.. Cosby was kindly, generous
and sympathetic. lending help
ing hand whenever opportunity
offered, his generosity often being
taken advantage of by those who
were benefciaries of his aid.

Death of JIM. Cosby,
Pioneer Citizen
Passes Away at His Home
At POmerene After a
PrOtracted Illness

Mr.. J. NJ. Cosby, a pioneer of
this state and section, died Sunday
morning last at his home in Pom
creme, of complication of diseases
after long period of i'll health.
His funeral took place in the
Church of Latterday Saints, of
which he was a member, and burial
in the Pomerene cemetery. He
leaves besides his wife, Mrs. Mary
Ella Cosby, to mourn his loss, two
married sons, NJ Powell and J R.
Cosby, both of whom. live in Pom
James M. Cosby was born on a
farm in Hanover county, Virginia,
December l, 1849, his father being
manager of a large plantation. He
received very little schooling, but
got some of his practical education
behind the plow. He was only in
his teens when the civil war broke
out, and being the oldest of a large
family, instead of attending school
it was necessary for him to help
support the family. He was mar
ried in 1871 to Miss Mary Ella
Powell.
Mr.. Cosby went to California in
1876, first locating near Bakers
field, where he secured a position
as farm manager, later engaging in
farming and stock-raising for him
self, also following other lines. He
came to the Salt River Valley in
1889, stopping first at Tempe, go
ing into the insurance business,
later going into the mercantile
line, with which he was identified
in several undertaking here and at
Mesa, and was instrumental in or
ganizing the Mesa Milling Co.,
now one of the leading mills of the
Salt River Valley. He came to
Benson in the fall of 1898, and was
in the mercantile business here for
about twelve years.
About 1900 Mr.. Cosby conceived

fail to yield according to expecta-
tions.
There yet remains something
like half of the desired number of
acres to be signed up, but with
the new form of lease, there should
be little difficulty in getting the
remainder. The new lease has been
changed to conform to the ideas
of some of the landowners, who
had the opinion that the leasors
rights were not sufficiently safe
guarded by the original document.
The Objectionable features of the
old lease have been eliminated in
this one.
1t is now up to the land-own-
ers' to make this movement a sue
cess-or failure. Which shall it be?
Let those who have land available
now come forward while opportu-
nitv offers. Conservative men who
nave gone over the lease think it as
fair and liberal as any operators
could be expected to make. So
it all now depends on the owners
of the land. Their action is await
ed with interest by those who wish
to see the country go ahead.

Red Cross Entertainment

The entertainment given last
evening by the ladies for the BEN
eft of the Red Cross was a COM
p1ete success. It was for the pur-
pose of raising funds to buy mate
rial necessary to make the required
number of hospital garments. Many
were untiring in their efforts, and
much credit is due those who so
faithfully did their bit. Quite a
nice bunch of Benson people gath
cred to enjoy dancing and delicious
eats" The Red Cross rosettes
made big hit with the gentlemen
present, and neat sum was re-
allied from their sale. A CHARM
ing feature was the pretty Red
Cross uniformed girls who assisted.
1t is impossible to state the exact
amount realized, but quite a nice
sum is expected over expenses.

Oil Boom Awaits a
Few More Signers
Responsible Men Ready to
Start Work When Acre
age is Signed Up

Mention was made in this paper
severl weeks ago of the efforts be
ing made to complete preparations
whereby an oil company would be
induced to enter this field and be-
gin boring for oil. The movement
is still progressing, but the farm
ers and other landowners, many of
them. seem to be holding back in
the matter of giving leases upon
their lands. Messrs. III. w. Etz
and A. G. Smith, of Benson, who
have been working to get the new
enterprise into the district, have
strong hopes of signing up suffic-
lent acreage in the near future to
warrant the California operators
they represent to begin operations.
With this acreage signed up the
erection of derricks and the actual
drilling for oil would be matter
of but a short time.
If indications and the opinions
of oil experts count for anything
Benson is the undoubted center of
an undeveloped oil field. Oil ex-
perts and operators are of one opin-
pinion on this point. The opinion
too prevails that the oil stata lie
deep beneath the surface, and that
big capital will be necessary to put
the valley around us into the con-
dition of a producing field. The
men behind this last proposition
represent capital sufficient to keep
the drills going until oil is reached
or a demonstrations made of it's
absence, thus settling once for all
the question of oil in this district.
incidentally, but as effectually as
if done for the special purpose, this
oil drilling will demonstrate the
underground water resources of the
valley whether or not by deep
drilling larger and stronger flow
of irrigation water can be obtained.
This of itself is a matter worth
while, should the oil developments

PREPARING FOR
IMMEDIATE DRAFT.
conscrlptIon will Begin Within
Ten Days After Bill is Signed.

10 preparing TO set machinery IN
motion without delay to produce under
the measure within two years a train
ID army of 100000 men.
Minor differences in the measure as
Il will pass the two houses probably
will necessitate a conference, but the
bill is expected to be ready for Presi-
dent Wilson's signature by the middle
of the week.
Champions in the House OF an
amendment designed to permit
Colonel Roosevelt to recruit volun'
teer force for immediate service in
France lost their fight on the first vote
taken after the close of general de-
bate. The amendment, offered by
Representative Austin, Of Tennessee,
and vigorously supported by Repre-
sentative Gardner, of Massachusetts,,
and others, was defeated, 10 to 106.
Among those who voted for II was
Miss Rankin, of Montana, who tear
fully opposed the war resolution.
Within 10 days after the bill is
signed every township in the country
will be registering its young men for
duty, and work will have begun on
the 16 training cantonments or camps
where preparation of the forces for
war will start in August or Septem-
ber. Sites for the cantonments have
been selected tentatively and all ar
rangements made for the troops as
signed to each.
Wide publicity is planned, so that
no man liable for registration will
have a good excuse for falling to re-
spond. On date to be set, every
citizen affected by the act will be re-
Quired, on pain of heavy penalty, to
present himself at the nearest regis
tration place, where machinery will be
provided for classifying the recruits
and eliminating those exempt. Doubt
full cases will be referred to higher
authority.
Decentralization OF administrative
work will be sought by the depart
ment in every move 1t makes De-
tails will not be disclosed until the
bill has passed, but it is known that
registration will be carried on through
sheriffs and other county officials,
aided by postmasters or other Federal
agencies where that seems desirable.
Instructions and forms already have
been prepared and will be forwarded
10 the State Adjutant-General for dis
tribution among county officials.
With the rolls Of those liable for
service complete, the task Of selecting
the men to go into the first-increment
OF 100000 will begin. 1t has been sug-
gested that this be done by means OF
the county jury wheel. The first man
whose name is drawn would go, under
that plan, with the first 100000 to be
called out for training within few
months. The second drawn would go
with the second increment, to be call
ed six months later; the third with
the third increment, with duty a year
on; the fourth with the first incre-
ment, and so on.

!s400,000,000 FOR
ALLIES EACH MONTH
To Aid in Supplying Armies With
Supplies.
BIGGEST SUM FOR BRITAIN
All To Be Expended In This Country.
MeAdoo Contemplating Add.
tional Issues OF Treas
ury Certificates.

washington. - fTellmlndry TepOIln
to the Treasury Department, upon
which Secretary McAdoo will base his
recommendations to the President as
to the size of the first bond issue
under the $1,000 100000 war finance
law, indicate that the United States
will be called upon to finance the
Allies to the extent OF at least $400,'
100000 and possibly s500,0o0,0o0
month.
Biggest Sum For Britain.
The tentative program also calls for
the expenditure of virtually every dol
lar OF the borrowed money in this
country for foodstuffs, munitions, coal,
clothing, railway equipment and other
supplies.
The estimates, still incomplete and
subject to revision, indicate the fol
lowing Entente needs:
For Great Britain, s200,00O, 900 to
$3.50, 100000 a month; for France, from
500, 100000 to S125,00O,O00; for Rus.
sia, sum undetermined, but up to
500, 100000 month, depending large
ly upon the ability OF manufacturing
plants in this country to meet her de-
mands, mostly for supplies other than
foodstuffs and munitions; for Italy,
about $4,000, 900 a month.
May Pare Estimates.
Should these requirements be met
in their entirety, the $3,000,000, 900
available for lending the Allies would
be exhausted in from six to seven and
one-half months. II Is likely, however
that the preliminary estimates can be
pared down to a point where, without
omitting essentials, the huge loan
could be made to cover requirements
for much longer period Of time, pos
sibly for one year.
Indications were not lacking that
Mr.. McAdoo would consider favorably
the suggestion that he offer soon an
other block of Treasury certificates
to the banks OF the country through
the Federal Reserve Banks. The sec
ond offering, II was said, probably
would be the same size as the first
$3.50, ,000, ,000-and might be offered
within 10 days. Should the Govern.
ment decide to finance the Allies to
the extent of $500, ,000,o0 month ap.
proximately s1,0000Oo,0 would be
needed to meet requirements prior to
June 80, the date upon which the first
proceeds Of the bond issue probably
will be available.
Withdrawing money from the mar.
kets at the rate Of s250,000.000 every
two or three weeks by the issues OF
blocks of certificates, officials believe,
would be preferable to q sudden call
for proceeds of a $4,000, 100000 bond
issue. Thus should s1,000,000,000 in
certificates be issued prior to June 80
half of a $4,000, 100000 bond issue will
virtually have been withdrawn from
the money markets prior to its issue,
as the certificates carry the conver-
sion privilege and doubtless would be
exchanged for bonds.
In this manner, II Is thought, the
banks OF the country will be in a
strong position to meet the strain OF
war financing and minimum disturb.

Powers Unlimited.
The mission, OF which Rene Viviani,
Vice-Premier and Minister of Justice,
is the official head and Marshal Joffre
member brings no written instruc-
tions from the French Government,
the Ministry having decided to give
its members unlimited powers to
negotiate with the United States on
all subjects, military, naval and finan-
cial.
1t is proposed to discuss the send
ing of an American expeditionary
force to France. Marshal Joffre and
other military members will indicate
to the American officials with whom
they are to confer several important
military reasons which they consider
renders the sending OF such force
advisable. The most important Of
these reasons is found in the moral
effect to be had from the presence Of
American troops and the American
nag on the battlefelds Of France.
Plan Worked Out.
The French idea of an American eX-
pedition calls for fighting force sup
ported by auxiliary services, such as
railway STATS, railway material, base
repair shops, telegraph and telephone
lines. automobile transport and a
strong aviation section. The French
Government is ready to offer what
ever may be considered necessary to
exist in sea operations, including the
use for naval purposes of any or all
ports In France. The Ministry of
Marine has worked out for submis-
sion to the American Government a
comprehensive plan for overseas
transports for both army and navy
purposes and for the provisioning of
the civil population.
Financially, France needs loans Of
$100,000,000 monthly to be spent in
the United States. The detailed off,
cial information on this subject will
be submitted to the American Govern
ment at the conferences to be held in
