KILL HOUSEHOLD VERMIN

This is a good season of the year to
clean up on the pests that find their
habitation in the homes all over the
country. An interview with one of

more troublesome than the vermln

time after they are laid. Vermin of this

been proved by government investiga-

disease can be directly traced to this
order of vermin. Bedbugs cause more

St. Johns, Aug. 18th, 1917.

In compliance with paragraph 4842, Chapter 8, Title 49, Revised Statutes of Arizona 1913, the Board of Supervisors convened at 10 a. m. on this date. There being present Chairman Heber Jarvis, Member w. A. Saunders and Levi s. Udall Clerk, A. s. Gibbons deputy Go. Attorney. Absent member J. c. Hall.
 This biding the day and hour as set forth in the Proposed Budget" when and where any taxpayer of the county who de- sired to appear and be heard for or against any of the proposed tax leyies as set forth in the afore- said budget; which was run as a notice in the official county paper of this county as prescribed by law.
 Attorney Fred w. Nelson ap- peared before the board, repre- senting the A. T. & s. F. railroad company, and discussed the pro- posed budget with the board, of fering a few suggestions as to changes that should be made in the budget, as he claimed that the 10% limit check on the Gen eral county and Road funds had been exceeded.
 It appearing to the board that there had been error made in the application of the 1026 limit check, the board ordered that there be a reduction of $740.00 from the amount proposed to be raised for roads which would make the total of the proposed road levy $8460 instead of S920O as published in the budget. This would make the 10% limit check apply as fol- lows:

 This reduction would thus bring the proposed levies for the present fiscal year within the 10% increase allowed over the amount actually levied and collected from all sources for the past fiscal year.

THEY MUST CUT
DOWN EXPENSE
Merchants Being Urged to Make
Fewer Deliveries
County and City Council of Defense
Acting on Suggestion by State
Council.

What accounts to almost an
order for the merchants of the
state to eliminate, so far as pos
sible, the delivery of goods of
all descriptions, was made by
the State Council of Defense this
week and has been transmitted
to the County and City Councils
of Defense for carrying out.
The merchants are being urged
to cooperate in this plan before
drastic action is taken and so
far there has been shown a
willingness on the part of the
merchants to comply with the
request.
The following is part of the
Command Of the State Council:
"The State Council of Defense
bespeaks your immediate and
earnest cooperation in effecting
a necessary economy of men,
money. and vehicles byreducing
the number of deliveries in re-
tail stores.
1t is common knowledge that
there is totally unnecessary SER
vice demanded and given in the
retail trade. Both the merchant
and the customer are responsible
the merchant in that he has
never discouraged unnecessary
service; the customer in that he
has come to expect the store to
do for him what he ought to do
for himself; and both the mer.
chant and the customer will
benefit by it's elimination.
In order to work out a plan
committees have been appointed
by the council of Defense and
notices have been set out to all
merchants.
1t is likely that the command
of the State Council will be
needed and before very long the
old time practice of delivering
goods will be eliminated so far
as possible.
