When You Have a Cold

1t is when you hove severe
cold that you appreciate the good
qualities of ChamberlainJs Cough
Remedy. Mrs. Frank Crocker,
Pana, ILL.,, writes: Our fve-year-
old son Paul caught severe cold
last winter that settled on his lungs
and he had terrible coughing spells.
We were greatly worried about
him, as the medicine we gave him
did not help him in the least. A
neighbor spoke so highly of Cham
berlain's S Cough Remedy that ! got
a bottle of it. The 6rst dose ben
Gifted him so much that 1 cortin-

Death of GiIa Valley Pioneer

The following is from the Ari-
zona Bulletin, of Stafford. MI. Bal
lard, the deceased, was the father
of Mrs. M. P: Cosby, of Pomerene,
and was known to a good many of
this neighborhood, who are sorry
to learn of his death.
There was large attendance of
relatives and friends last Saturday
afternoon at Joseph w. Ballard's
funeral which was held in Emery.
The speakers at the service were:
A. P. Sessions, 7. S. Kimball, L.
c. Snow, Pres. Jno F Nash and
Bishop Holyoak. Ali paid high
tribute to the long, faithful and
we'll spent life of the departed pio-
neer. Reference was made to the
number of homes which he has
built and the farms which he has
developed and other important ac-
tivlties in the building of the Gila
Valley. He was a man Of unques-
toned integrity, not only showed
splendid example in his life but
always gave advice and counsel
that had the true ring to it.
Joseph White Ballard was born
January, 18, 1859 in Payson, Utah
When he came to Arizona in 1878
he first located at Brigham City on
the Little Colorado. He came to
the Gila Valley in 1883 and made
a home in Eden, then Curtis. After
the death of his wife Rhoda Lake
Ballard he married Ellen J. Ander-
son at Pima in 1898 and 1900
moved to Emery. He died January
"a, leaving a wife and four chill
dren, Mrs. Leroy Patton of Pay
son, Utah, Mrs. Powell Cosby of
Benson, Arizona, Lester Ballard
and Mrs. Clyde Stacy of Fort
Thomas, all of whom were present
at his death and funeral with the
exception of Mrs. Leroy Patton.
Mr.. Ballard was superintendent
of the Sunday School for a number
of years and was a member of the
first Bishopric of Emery Ward
which position he held until the
time of his death.
Mrs. c. H. Weiderman a step
daughter, now living in Jerome,
was also present.

Turn Cash
Into Gunfre

We fought and won the Spanish
war with $50, 900 soldiers and a
5000, 100000 bond issue. In men
under arms we now have ten times
that number. We issued ten times
that amount of bonds in the first
Liberty loan. We are proposing to
spend and loan to our allies in the
first fiscal year of the war $19. 900.
OOO,0 900. From now on the treas
ury anticipates needing $500, 900,
900 a week-that is, the treasury
has got to fight financially Spanish
war every four days. That indi-
Gates money measure of the size
of this work but that is not the
real measure. We have just seen
that one might have plenty of
money, but an empty coal bin. In
just the same way the government
can have plenty Of money, but an
unequipped army. This army can
not be equipped as modern war
fare demands if the man power of
the country is at the same time
called upon to produce all of Our
ordinary comforts and luXuries.
It is as plain as two and two that
all of us must make personal sacri-
fees, must give up comforts and
1uxurieS, even necessary eXpend1-
lures that can be postponed if there
is to be labor and materials enough
to equip the army in time for it to
fight while it will do some good to
have it fight.
In war the only effort that is of
any value is that which is ultimately
translated into gun fire on the field
of battle. The gun fire that will
win this war cannot be delivered
until all America recognizes indi
vidual responsibility, until the
whole people join in the effort by
giving up things that they can do
without, so that the labor that
would have been employed in ma
king those things can do work that
will ultimately result in gun fire.
The government has offered the
opportunity to translate at once
every ones personal patriotism in
to the sort of help that will win
the war. Forego buying something
that is unnecessary; loan the mon

Safe Robbed

Safe blowers did a good job on
the safe of the Benson Lumber and
Commercial Co. some time We'd
nesday night. Thursday monling
when the store was opened the
safe door was discovered blown off
and the office filled with wreckage.
The burglars got between fifty and
seventy five dollars cash and over
$4,000 in checks, which of course
were worthless to them. Blankets
and quilts were used to cover the
safe and deaden the sound of the
explosion, and nobody as far is
known, heard any noise or saw any
suspicious characters around town.
Luckily Mr.. w. 7. Robie de-
posted $5OO.OO from the safe in

two jersey calves, two hundred
chickens and a large home garden,
and this year she has growing 7
acres of rye that certainly looks
fine; she has irrigated it three
times from the two artesian wells
on the place while her husband f.
J. (Pete) has been away at work
at his old trade of carpenter con-

she planed to do with her rye crop
she said that she was going to feed

give more milk to feed more sows
to raise more pigs to make more

At the close of this eloquent and in
