ASK MERCHANTS TO
CONSERVE SWEET MILK

FLAGSTAFF, Ort lin response
to suggestion made by the Cocnise
County Food Conservation Dealers
association. one federal food admins
tration for Arizona is urging the CO.
operation of retail grocery merchants
throughout the state in matter
which may be vital factor in redLc-
ing the death rate among infants.
This action has been taken to combat
the tremendous demand which has
sprung up for sweetened condensed
milk. This milk is manufactured pr;-
marily as an infants food, but since
the sugar regulations went into eff
feet merchants have been unable to
keep I'D with the demand, with the
result that a famine in this particular
line of baby food exists. and countless
infants, depending upon it are de-
prived of their sole nourishment.
The present abnormal demand, as
sert food officials, is due without
question to the selfish and unpatri-
otto practice INDUCED in by certain
householders in changing from IN
sweetened to swee;ened milk in order
to obtain an extra allowance of sugar.
Merchants OF Arizona, therefore, are
called upon to refuse the sale of such
milk except to families having small
children. J. W. Doris, state mer-
chants representative of the food ad-
ministration, lends his hearty ap-
prevail of the plan and asks that all
merchants association adopt resolu-
tons to this effect and to obtain rigid
enforcement.

WILL NOT DESTROY
coNFiScATEp WHIsKEY

Sheriff Guy WEIGH this afternoon
announced that the destruction Of
over 100000 worth Of confiseated
whiskey planned for Thursday will
not take place, since he has received
word from the government that they
will take the liquor.
After repeated efforts 20 get some
department Of the government to
take the liquor to d;stiIl it and get
the alcohol for medicinal purposes,
the sheriff yesterday decided to have
a public destruction Of The whiskey
and made announcement through
the papers. This evidently reached
v. S. District Attorney T. A. Flynn,
who Immediately notified United
States Attorney Gregory at Washing
ton. and he in turn notified Attorney
Flynn to stop the destruction Of the
booze since he was at once proceeding
with plans to nave the government
take the whiskey. Sheriff WEIGH was
notified by wire this afternoon by
United States Marshal Dillon from
Phoenix.
II is planned by the government to
have the whiskey dumped into bar
reis and loaded into cars and shipped
to Phoenix. where It will be consigned
to some refining plant by the govern
ment. When barreIIed there 10 about
carload at the county Jail here and
another carload at Douglas. Phoenix,
II 10 said, has another carload, while
about the state several more carloads
can be collected. BY the use Of the
whiskey to extract the alcohol Il is
figured that the government will save
many hundreds Of tons Of grain from
which alcohol is made, releasing con-
siderable tonnage for the allies, be-
sides giving thousands Of gallons Of
pure grain alcohol for medicinal pur-
poses. This 10 what Sheriff WEIGH and
other Arizona officials have been
trying to get the government to do for
some time, and the final decision Of
Sheriff WEIGH to destroy, no doubt
brought about quick action.

(From Tombstone Daily Prospector October 17)
In all the county seat removal agitation of Doug

the bribery and real estate option scheme which has
just been brought to light by which certain interests
in Douglas seek to remove the county seat from it's
present location in Tombstone to Douglas and to de-
feat the Warren District from securing it. in case
it is removed
All along the Daily Prospector has claimed that
behind the movement Of the Douglas big interests
there was gigantic real estate scheme We now have
the proof One Of the who had the proposal made
to him has given the whole story and later another
man has verified it to sentence. The plan is this
Options have been taken on certain real estate in
Douglas, adjoining the proposed sites for the court
house which would make clean up for the certain in

REGARDING "FALsE STATEMENTS"

The Douglas Dispatch in an editorial entitled False
Statement Circulated upon the matter of when the
y seat is to be removed from Tombstone 60
per cent OF the vote at the coming election favorable
removal reads like of Prince Maxs peace notes. While
the editorial in question does not it implies that the
court house and records would be left at Tombstone until
the war is We the Importance of this phase
OF the matter to Douglas, and appreciate their efforts
camoufage the question: and fool the dear voter for the
nsuperable objection to removal is the necessity of
first winning the and the taxpayers neither propose
to undertake the building of court house at this

What does the law saw See. Ii of the county seat
removal law provides:
If more than sixty per cent of the cast upon
the question of such removal shall be in favor of such
removal. and If any city town shall have received
majority of the votes east at such election the board

shall order and direct as soon practicable that all
public records shall be removed thereto and all public
offices required to be kept at the county seat shall
thereafter THERE BE MAINTAINED
The phrase 'as practicable in the law above
quoted relates to the removal of the records the
ty seat. 1t simply means the impossible will not be
qured.

A COMPARISON OF COSTS

Would removing the county seat Douglas effect an
appreciable saving to the county?
We have framed the question thus, because really

Lay down in your mind map of Cochise county, and
also of the state.
Cochise is the southeast county 1t is almost
square. Douglas is the southern boundary of both
county and state little east of the of the south

% north of Bisbee, speaking generally.
All of the state beside Cochise county lays to the
north and of Cocise county, and all Of the
situations, such insane Asylum Prison and Industrial
School lay to the north and west
Every incompetent criminal delinquent must be
transported north and From Douglas the distance
to of these institutions unless possibly the Indus
school, is 65 miles further than from Tombstone and
such distance 30 miles further from Bsbee than from
Tombstone.
If person is arrested in Bsbee or Douglas and
brought Tombstone, he is just that far way

where else in the county, and the county seat Douglas

county seat at Tombstone, Bisbee and Douglas made
Three money columns were ruled and one was
