There is more Catarrh in this section 5f the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few ,eafs was supposed to be ineurable. For great many years doctors pro 1ounced Il local disease and prescrib- ed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a consututional disease, and therefore requires constr tutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J.

THE BEST WAY TO MAKE DlTCHeS.

While we are laying our under drains there are fields that must be drained with surface drains. And to make thesessdltches 1 have yet to find anything as ef- fectiye as the common dump scraper. With this scraper the dirt from the ditch can be drawn we'll back and used to level the land, leaving the banks of the ditch level with the surrounding soil surface, instead of being piled high with the eXcavated soil as is he case when the ditch is made with a road machine or dug by hand, thus defeating in a measure the purpose of the ditch, for example: draining the sur face of the land. Once make a good ditch with one of these scoops, shaping the banks so tarm tools may be driven across, ten seed tha bottom and sides heavily with grass, top dressed with stable manure and then keep the blows out of it and one has a fairly good water course. It will however, always be soil waster whenever sthe snadjoining land is being worked in a hoed crop.
 On low flat land that lacks under drainage crops must have some sort'of surface drainage or the whole jsurface of the iand will be flooded at times. Flowing such lands in crowning beds from l2 to "A feet wide We have found very effective, equally so as when the beds were made the width of one row only, and by the former method the harrow could be run lengthwise of the beds to work the crop which could not be done when the single bed system was used.
 want!to insist upon the need of doing necessary surface drain age work when the land is dry. Never go onto q field when it IS covered with water after the crop is planted, for the crop is already ruined where the water iz 5u it and the ditch5r o0lY adds to the loss by ruinine, for the ,ime being, such of the soil as he stits yhile f is water soaked. = Al.

THREE HIGHWAYS IN
 STATE WAIT ON WAR

Construction work on at least three highways in Arizona must wait until after the war.
 Information to this effect was re- ceived yesterday by the state high way department from the United States highway council, to which had been sent all information in regard to these highways. the necessity and 2 other particulars with the ra':aest that permission be granted Tor thsil completion.
 The highways which the United States highway council decides must wait until after the war are the road from Wilcox to Gleeson, that from Tombstone to Benson and the county line and the highway from Douglas east a distance of IT miles
 Permission to proceed was refused on the ground that the materials de- sired and the transportation facilities needed to put them on the jobs were more urgently needed for war pur- poses.
 The state engineer is now engaged in correspondence with the United States highway council in an effort to secure permission to continue work on other important highways in the state.

Morenci Chapel,

My dear people:
 In the absence of our public servi ces Sunday let us look up the twenty third psalm. It is the psalm for the day of fear, sickness, death. We are passing through trying times. The horrors of the war, the average of the influenza depress and distress us. The world is in the valely of the shadow today. It is full of fears and tears We need help, hope, cheer. We need a powerful God to help us and we have such an one. We need a lov- ing father to fold us in his arms of 1 love.
 This psalm tells us about Him. It gives us a beautiful picture of His greatness, goodness, gentleness. He | has been shepherding the world in all the ages, and He will to the end . He is our shepherd. He finds us when we are hungry. He folds us when we are tired. If on journey he guides us with his eye. If carry ing a heavy load he girds us with his strength. If exposed to danger he guards us with his strength When our way is dark he lights it. When our lie is broken he mends it. When our cup is empty he fills it.
 Say then today, the Lord is ''my'' shepherd. Say it out loud. You need to say it. You have a right to say it. That little big word my ties yor to him. It connects your fear with his peace, your sorrow with his sympathy.
 For an anthem sing, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee" Let one of vour hymns be He leadeth me, Oh nlessed thought" Pray for your sick friends, and for the boys at the front May peace and cheer be upon you and yours.
 John P. Mac Phie, Pastor.

Humorous stories as well as tragic
tales comes from the seas, even in war

the club story about one of his ma
jesty's destroyers which was detailed
to escort a transport filled with troops
This transport, 1t seems. was COM
manded by captain who, unlike most
of his class, was meek and mild. The
night was dark and dirty and naturally
no lights were showing. In the storm
and darkness the destroyer lost sight
of her convoy. Her commander, who
was one of the nervous, peppery sort,
dashed up and down and around and
about but could not pick her up. OF
course the naval officer blamed the cap
tain Of the convoy for not keeping in
touch and said things about the sea-
manship of the conveys captain that
would not read well in print.
Finally after several hours vain
search the destroyer's commander
thought his best plan would be to run
for the nearest port and there see II

transport. The destroyer thrashed her

But when customers began to come In

took this for commentator and smiled

around the wreaths and inspected
them more carefully. And then it was
