PRACTICE OF MEDICINE
GUESSWORK

1t has been said that the practice
of medicine at best is simply a game
of guesswork, because the action of
drugs varies to great degree upon
different individuals; but when a
medicine has lived for forty years,
constantly growing in sales and pop
ularity, there can be no greater
proof OF its merit. Such a medicine
is Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, that famous old root
and herb remedy, now recognized
from shore to shore as the standard
remedy for female illS.-(adv.)

Benson Young Man
WedS in California

Surprising all his friends here,
Mr.. l.. H. Williams arrived Thurs
day on No. 10 from Los Angeles
with his bride, formerly Miss Dor
othy Boltenstern. The bride is
from Lynn Center, Illinois, but has
been living in Los Angeles for
short time. They were married in
that city Wednesday and itnmedi-
diatety took the train for this
place, where Mr.. Williams holds
position with the Southern Pacific
as te1egrapher. He left couple
of weeks ago ostensibly for a vaca-
ton, with the prospective marriage
ceremony an unsuspected proba-
ability.
AS an indication of the popular
ity of the bridegroom, nearly all
the young people in town turned
out to give them a serenade Thurs
day night. The serenaders failed
III their first attempt, for just as
they arrived on the scene, at one
of the Hotel Arnold cottages, they
saw the newly weds leaving i'll a
car. The young folks descended
upon them later, however, after
the return from the drive and made
night me1odious with vocal and
instrumental music. Repairing to
the Moss Pharmacy, which was re-
opened by special request, many
cooling draughts were drank to the
long life. health and happiness of
the bride and groom.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams will make
their home at the Ashburn house,
on Fifth street, and will be at
home to their. friends August 10th
and thereafter.

War to Be Made
On Animal Pests

For the first lime in history, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture Bureau of Biological Sur
vey will have adequate funds for
the state of Arizona to make fav
orable impression upon crop and
stock destroying pests.
The state legislature at the spe-
cial session, fully realizing the vast
Importance of controlling pests at
this time, appropriated $25, 900 for
the Council of Defence, to be ex-
pended under the supervision of
the Biological Survey, who will
also set aside SIS 900 for the same
purpose.
Judging from past experience,
there should be exterminated in the
state of Arizona during the coming
year 5000, 600 prairie dogs, ,00O,-
900 jack-rabbits, 500, 900 gophers,
and thousands Of coyotes, wolves,
mountain lions, bears and smaller
animals
Under the plans being made for
the Arizona campaign, every far
mer in the state will receive direct
assistance III combating rodent
pests and all farmers and stock
men should benefit greatly by the
determination of predatory animals
by the cooperative plan proposed.
The food administration, Council
oe Defense, stock and farmers asso-
cations, Forest Service, county
supervisors, and the United States
Department of Agriculture through
its county agents and Biological
Survey, will all pla. important
parts in the proposed plans for
carrying on the work of exterrni-
nation. With cooperation from all
interested parties, there should be
accomplished a beneficial piece of
work in the interest of increased
food production.
d. A. Gilchrist, of Flagstaff, on
behalf of the government, is taking
a leading part in the proposed cam
paign of determination, to whom
correspondence may be addressed
by those interested.

r. L. Mccall Announces His
Platform
Editor Benson Signal:

Editor Benson Signal
| want to thank the many sup
porters of my candidacy whose ex-
preston of confidence and good
will encourages me to believe that
I am not making a mistake in
seeking the nomination of repre-
sentative The plank and the
platform for which I stand is for
equal rights to all and progressive
and advanced legislation, united
and absolute devotion to the task
before us, and the practice of the
StrlcteSt economy III state expendi-
lures. / stand for one hundred per
cent AmeriCanisn, that the ma
! tional government may be backed
UP in all its requirements i'll push
ing the war to a speedy victory ;
that the minimum appropriation
for rural schools may be increased
from $3.50 to $1,000; that agricul-
ture be added to the curriculum,
and then we can say to the boy,
+ Back to the farm" Under the
present system the boy finishes
education, he is prepared for a
clerk or merchant, and does not
understand agriculture, therefore
it is uninteresting to him.
This day and age demands that
we become successful producers.
I l am in favor of memorial being
sent to Congress requesting their
aid and support in the construction
of the Charleston Dam, as soon as
possible after the close of the war,
measure which would go long
way III recOnstructing conditions
in an agricultural way among us.
This would be the means of estab-
fishing many returned soldiers in
productive homes.
/ am firm i'll the belief that the
! farm should be brought to the
men, instead of the men to the
! farm, after the order which has
been a success in Australia and
which is being tried out i'll Matana
Valley of California and apparent
1y is a success. That is, instead
of the state loaning money, to
build house and equip farm and
put the farmer on it, thereby Civ
ing him an opportunity to become
a producer the first year, with the
provision for paying back in year
ly payments the amount expended
together with a reasonable rate of
interest, the state retaining title
until the full amount is paid.
Respectfully,

we're repulsed with comparatively
heavy losses.
