FARMERS DO NOT
 WANT YOUNG ,. CHILDREN

Answers to questions sent to grange officers throughout the country by the National Child Labor Committee indi- cate that farmers do not want CT need city or town children. Of the replies received to date, which cover 15 states, 62 per cent say unqualifiedly "No," to the question, Are city school children wanted to work in your district" An Illinois farmer writes, City school children would be of no use in this section. Farmers are in need of adult help, IS years and over." The Mime sota State Grange Master says, City boys unless trained are Of no use to us. Nearly all the work is carried on by either gas or horse power and l find they do not understand how to drive a horse or handle machinery. The secretary of the Vermont Grange replies, Vermont is dairy state. No children are employed or wanted to my knowledge The four officers of the Pennsylvania Grange agree that children are not wanted to any extent. Some demand for boys" says the Master, but the State Treasurer says, We do not think school children of the large cities would be of sufficient help to warrant the undertaking. '"The tending of small corn is a deli cate business for a citybred child, says an officer from the cornbelt of Illinois, while having and harvest would be too heavy work for one not accustomed to labor in the hot sun.
 Of those who mention the lowest age at which a boy is useful. GA per cent say IA or over. Those who mention the need of school children say they are wanted for berry-picking or truck gardening, but only 12 1-2 per cent of all the answers say, without qualifi cations, that children are wanted on the farms. The conclusions, accord ing to the National Child Labor Com mittee, are to send school children tC farms without careful investigation of the actual need for them in a given district would be foolish and an en- barrassment to the farmers, that boys under IA and girls are not wanted and that all farm labor must be super vised to avoid waste and inefficiency Personal initiative is the large fac tor in farm labor that is profitable says the Michigan grange master "The youngsters are wholly unfamiliar for the most part with farm practice methods, hours, crops, animals anC the rural mind.''
 We are convinced" says Owen R

EareMelI Dance

areWell Dance
 The farewell dance given at the Duncan theatre on last Saturday night in honor of the departing volunteers for the army was a decided success, in fact nothing of it's kind ever given in Duncan equalled it. The crowd present was one of the largest ever as- sembled at any function in the town, there being people in attendance from many of the neighboring towns and cities. Five auto loads from Clifton were here, as well as others from Steeplerock, Lordsburg, Stafford and other points. The music for the dance was furnished by Adams orchestra of Clifton, and the dance did not break up until almost daylight. In fact most of the young men who were leaving on the morning train never did get chance to sleep, they making night of it. The affair was one which will be remembered for long time by those attending and all will Hook back to it with considerable pleasure for years to come.-Duncan News

BOND ELECTION Is IMPORTANT DUTY
 MAY l9TH
Ratification of Agreement Made By Board of Supervisors Is necessary To Assure Building of Clifton SpringerVille Highway.


 Saturday, May 18th, is the day fixed by the Board of Supervisors of this county for holding the bond election made necessary to supply the funds required on behalf of the county, for the building of the Clifton=Springer- vile Highway. The taxpayers only are qualified to vote at this election and they are called upon to ratify an agreement entered into by our Board of Supervisors and the Department of Agriculture whereby the Federal Government is to pay half of the cost of that portion of the road lying with in Greenlee county.
 The estimated cost of the road is $400,000 Greenlee county's propor+ tion of this cost is one-half, or $2O0,- 900 and the bond election tomorrow is for the purpose of raising this amount. Failure to vote the bonds would nullify the agreement and the first and last opportunity for securing this Federal aid will have gone glim- mering.
 Greenlee county was extremely for tunate in securing the first appropria- tion for Forest Highway. building. It was not secured without considerable effort on the part of our Board of fSuD6rV1SOrS. JULIET pOTIlOIlS OI Iuc state were clammoring for a part of this appropriation but by a united ef- fort $200,000 was secured from the Department of Agriculture for road building within Greenlee county north through the wonderful Apache National Forest. The Clifton-Spring- erville project is recognized as one of the most important pieces of highway in the west, opening up one of the largest virgin forests in the United States and affording an outlet to a ready market in the Clifton-Morenci district for forest products.
 The taxpayers of the county are en- enthusiastically behind the Board of Supervisors in support of the Cliff ton-Springerville highway which will enhance the value of all property in the county It means increased thade; it means increased auto traffic north and south and it ultimately will mean the marketing of the vast timber re- sources of the Apache Forest in the mining centers of southern Arizona.
 With the ratification of the bond issue tomorrow by the taxpayers the highway is assured. Vote YES on the bonds is the last stipulation required and the taxpayers must not be negli- gent on their part.

The first letter quoted comes
through Eli w. Goode, druggist and
local agent for Tanlac at Hawkins
vile, Georgia, containing the state
ment Of &. J. Henry, president Of
the HaWkinsville Bank and Trust
Company, which is one of the best
known financial institutions in that
part Of the State. His letter follows,
just as 1t was written:
"Hawkinsville, Georgia,
March 5, 1917.
Mr.. G. F. Willis, Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Sir: Mr.. E. J. Henry, presi-
dent of the HaWkinsville Bank and
Trust Company, came into my store
few days ago and said:
Eli, sell me another bottle OF
Tanlac.'
Il said, All right, Mr.. Henry
What do you really think of Tan
lac?' His reply was SO commendable
to the virtues of the medicine, that
I asked him if he would give me a
signed statement about it. He said,
yes, Of course | WILL and this is his
statement:
Last spring | was all wrong
some way or other, and couldn't get
right. | came to you and bought
bottle of Tanlac and began to i'm
prove. Two more bottles put me all
right, and | felt perfectly we'll. A
few weeks ago ] had the grippe and
was beginning to get down and out
again, and about week ago |
bought another bottle and have taken
it and am perfectly well again.
81 unhesitatingly recommend
Tanlac to anyone WHO is sick and
WORKOUT, as I believe that if any
body will take Tanlac when they first
begin to feel bad it will prevent and
keep off sickness. 1t certainly is
great remedy.

The other letter referred to comes
from the cashier of the Hornbeck
Branch of the West Louisiana Bank,
at Hornbeck, La, and Is as follows:

and have gained fifteen (15) pounds
in three weeks. l think it is d great
medicine.
(Signed)
wv. G. M'ELVEEN, Cashier,
Bank of Hornbeck, Hornbeck, La"
1t is nothing unusual for men Of
prominence to endorse Tanlac as
over twenty-five thousand endorse
ments have been given Tanlac wit -
III the past year alone. These -
dorsements have come from people
representing practically every walk
Of life, including Bankers, Lawyers,
Judges, Doctors, prominent Govern
mont, State and County officials,
prominent men Of affairs etc, but it
is noteworthy fact that in this
particular instance two well-knOWn
bankers Of the South have on the
same day voluntarily written an ex-
preston of their gratitude for pub
licatiOn, telling what Tanlac has
done for them.
In this connection one of the best
known newspaper publishers of the
South recently said:
II know that there are at least a.
thousand people in this city who
would be glad to endorse Tanlac,"
and what is true of that city is true
Of practically every other city Of the
South and West; in fact, through
out the entire country wherever this
medicine has been sold
The fame and popularity of TanlSc.
as everyone knows, has swept over
the whole country like wildfre and
is now a household word from coast
to coast
Although placed on the market q
little over two years ago over seven
million bottles have already been
sold, and the demand is constantly
increasing.
Tanlac is sold by one regularly esq
tablished agency in every town.
