PERSONAL LIBERTY FOR FEVER TICKS.

to eradicate ticks is an infringe
ment Of the personal liberty NJ

damage and loss; the further fact
that the COW IS miserable and IN
proftable: and the added fact thai
the entire oommunity's prosperity is
impaired by the presence OF ticks

Graft seemed to be the principal thing Just fix her up wash out the next rin that's the system that will give work said the graters of few years ago. But today it is different is evidenced by the fact that when announced that road work on the state highway about to be stopped because of dis agreement between the Supervisors of Cochse county and the State Engineer howl went up from end of the county the other Men on the highway, men many miles off the state highway teephoned sent word and wrote. Don't stop work the highway. Get to- gether." Why! The answer is easy. Because next to the and its direct subsidiary needs road building lis the essential thing needed by the American people and this year of 1918 will road building than year since road building began to ''speed up The United States government is making spe cal provisions assist road building Not only is it valuable to winning the but is of the greatest money saving Improvements known to the American people today So in the face of the facts and demands of the people it is little wonder that howl went up when the report went out that work to be stepped on the state highway in Cochise county. Whatever you do Mr. State Engineer and gentle men of the Board of Supervisors it is duty to that this particular piece of work does stop in its IstructiOn.
