SLOW IN REPORTING
County Exemption Boards Are
Expected to Report Men Elk
empted on Account of Tubercu-
losis.

DR.. L. B. McBrayer of Sanatorium.
states that the county exemntion
boards are quite slow in comnfving
with the request Of Governor T. W.
Beckett to send to DR.. McBrayer as
chief of the bureau of tuberculosis
OF the State Board of Health the
names and addresses Of those who are
exempted on account of tuberculosis
ana the total number examined. In
70 tn1s time only twenty-nine county
exemption boards have made the COM
plete returns, and they report 1923
men examined and 372 men EXEMPTED
on account of tuberculosis, which
gives percentage of 2 10.
Seven counties have reported the
number OF men examined, but not the
names and addresses of the men who
were exempted on account of tuber-
culosis. Eighteen counties have re-
ported the number Of men exempted
on account of tuberculosis. but have
not reported the total number exam
ined or the names and actresses Of
those who have been exempted on
account of tuberculosis. This makes
the record about as follows:
Number of counties making COM
plete reports &c
Number of counties making in
complete reports 2E

The Governor says that this is {
very important matter and that he
expects the local exemption board.
to complete these reports in a very
short time.

One Crop Just Half Farming.

Mr.. j. T. Odom brought intwo stalks
of cotton this morning, one of them
has 70 flush open bolls and about 20
not yet open., This cotton was the
second crop-raised where he had
Irish potatoes. Mr.. Odom says that
he cleared $500 an acre on potatoes,
and he expects to clear more than
that on his cotton on the same land.
So you can see by that where a man
raises only one crop he is just half
farming.

Be- fore the organization oi territorial government they were able preserve order without law and o maintain jus ice without TIibunaS.
 Their EnSScsSion of absolute personal dccndcncc never dcgcucIacd into thc savage liberty of country without law. into cruelty oppression.
 Arizona led all the States of the Union last year in he production of wealth i'll proportion to population.
 Her yield of copper amounted to &l00O worth for every and child n the State Her gold and silver production large Her orchards and fields yielded great harvcss for her people damned her rivers instead pf danming her capitalists.
 The growth of Arizona socially and morally has ri- acd her advance materially. She has cNilcd the faro md roulette industry Southward into Mexico She has aid to reckless mbbrIs of alcoholic fluids: If you feel hat you qucmch your unlawful thirst % Los An sclcS. And to her she has said. as said Ahas- of old to Esther 'Thou art not mine lernan or mine infeIior thou art mine equal and my queen: seat thee the throne beside and together will rule fair land
 The advance of Arizona n all things IS due largely to her g1zzed ArgOnauts, of whom yesterday honor rd Los Angeles with their presence. Hail and welcome to thcmi--Ios Angeles Times.

RAIN AND SNOW
 HELP IN ROAD WORK

The present snOv and rain fall is certainly helping out the road depart ment and the only drawback being that not enough rain has fallen so far but what has. has been of great benefit to the extension Of the state highway now being built towards Tombstone from the Bisbee Exten- sion, by the Cochise County road de- partment under the supervision of County Engineer Ryan. The crew that is working from Tombstone to- wards Fairbank is doing some fine work and the improvement at the east corner Of the Tombstone ceme- tary is Of great help. This stretch of road is now like a paved road. the liuachuca Water company hay ing gotten busy Friday and assist ed the county by making special tap and providing hose so that the road crew could wet down and drag that section. The road 70 Fairbank will soon be in the best shape but has been since automobiles began throwing up speed in this county. The County Engineer should get al crew on the road from the Fairbanks Benson fork to the Curtis Flats and fix few spots along that route and then from St. David bridge to Ben son as traffic along that route is growing continually.

The great ma ority of the people of 'ochsc County seem to be satisfied with the location of the county seat as il is at present. Tombstone Is conven- tent to all sections of the county and to change to Douglas would be of little advantage to the people at large. The Signal is strongly oppos ed to the change needless unnecessary and expensive. The amount that would be nccdful to erect pew county buildings could be expended to much greater advantage in the construction of good roads and with much greater satiSfac tion taxpayers and people generally.

THE CoCHIsE COUNTY SEAT FIGHT

The Tucson Citizen. of Arizona 'S progressive q papers makes comment of the Cochsc County Seat loval agitation follows:
 Douglas has launched another fight to Sc- the county seat of Cochisc county. The movement naturally does not find favor in Tombstone. hong the capital of dear old Co chiSe. BSbec seems to hold the key to the sit nation for without the support of that city Douglas could not hope to master enough votes to get the county seat If the residents of Douglas and of the Warren district could get to- gether on the proposition they would undoubt- cdly control enough votes to move the county seat. In the past general movements have been made in this direction but all have resulted in failure. The plan to have Bisbee and the Warren district stand together to have the county seat removed and then fight it out among themselves to whether the county seat should be located i'll 5isbcc. Douglas or Warren.
 Ut is generally admitted that no suitable location could he found in Bisbee. The mer- chants of that city realize that to locate the county seat at Warren would probably develop considerable business there. which would natr.- ally he taken away from Bisbee. For this req son good many people in Bisbce are in favor of leaving the county seat right where 1t is. at Tombstone. and accordingly. 1t Is quite unlikely that Douglas will succeed Ill her fight. The fight over the county seat has become very acrmoni- OlIs, Tombstone always referring to Douglas as old Shelter Fumes. and Douglas applying cpl thets of similar nature to Tombstone
 While the present county seat is not very accessible to the rest of the county by rail- 1t is easily reached by automobile and in these days when nearly everybody has a machine lack of railroad facilities is not such a great dsadvan- tage."
