|, W, PETERSON WILL
 SEEK REELECTION

C. Warren Peterson, present chair man of the board of supervisors is q candidate for renomination at tn. democratic primary to be held Sep tember 10, 1918.
 MT. Peterson is a pioneer of the val ley, having lived in the county 39 years. | His parents, MT. and Mrs. Charles Peterson, were among the first settlers of Mesa, taking up a homestead about two miles east of where that prosper ous little city now stands. His early life was spent on the farm and he was educated in the art of farming, dairy ing and stock raising. At the age of Is he went to work in a mercantile establishment and followed that for five years.
 In September, 1900. he married May Standage, daughter of William Stand age, one of the pioneers of the valley, and at one time a member of the board of supervisors of this county.
 A drouth was on in the Salt River Valley at that time and the future did not look very bright. MT. Peterson went down and looked over the Buck eye and Arlington valleys, and bought a small ranch in the Arlington valley. Having no money the purchase of the ranch was made on time payment, his father signing the note with him to guarantee payment. The merchants of Mesa extended him credit for $250 for household goods and food for month or so. and in November, 1900, he loaded everything he had on a wagon and started for Arlington.
 By hard work and thrift he was able to meet his obligations as they came due. He gave close attention to that which he was qualified to do, farming and stock raising. He has added 70 his holdings from year to year and at the present time owns five hundred acre ranch and a small herd of cattle on the range and is on the assessment roll of Maricopa county as one of the heavy tax payers of the county.
 In 1905 he bought the Arlington store, was appointed postmaster of Arlington, and run the store and post office in connection with his ranch and cattle for six years. Selling the store in 1911 he devoted all his time to his ranch and cattle.
 In November, 1914, he was elected supervisor of Maricopa county, re- ceiving the four year term. Has been director and secretary of the Arling- ton Canal company the past 10 years W was running the Arlington store. Mir Peterson, his friends say, has shoWr remarkable ability in the conduct oi county affairs. He is a believer ir ' spending the peoples money as thougr it was his own private funds, avoid ing extravagance, yet being libera where public improvements are ac tually needed.
 In addition to county duties and farm work which Mir Peterson has tt perform, he is member of seve:a
 war work committees which take con : siderable of his time and it will h'
 impossible for him to make trips oTo the county and see all voters person
 ally, and he will have to rely on hi record, both public and private. as t { his qualifications to fill the office o supervisor of this county.

CLERKS ARE NEEDED
 FUR CAPITAL WORK

Announcements were made last March that the clerical examination for positions in Washington, D. C., would be discontinued. This announce ment was made in view of the fact that 35,000 applications had been filed for the March test. The United States Civil Service commission believed that enough eligibles would be secured to supply the needs of the service for considerable length of time from this test but it was found that office help cannot be recruited rapidly enough where there are special requirements such as knowledge of stenography bookkeeping, and the like.
 In view of this fact, clerical exam nations will be held in various offices in Washington, D. C., on September F and October ,. The examinations will cover spelling, arithmetic, letter writ ing, penmanship and copying from plain copy. All who are in position to accept work of this character in the capital of the nation in the service of the government are urged to secure application blanks and enter one or the other of these examinations. Call on CT address Clarence R. Craig local sec retary. United States Board of Civil Service examiners, federal building, Phoenix.

MIGRATION OF MOSQUITOES

Some surprising facts regarding the migrations of mosquitoes and other in sects have been discovered by Prof. S. c. Ball, who spent a month at Rebecca Shoal lighthouse last summer. This lighthouse is isolated in the ocean 12 nautical miles from the nearest land, which is East Key, Tortugas, while the nearest region on which any consider able number of mosquitoes can breed is Marquesas Atoll, 24 miles distant to the eastward. Freezes from the north and east brought mosquitoes to the lighthouse, and in one case a strong southerly wind brought them from Cuba. 95 miles away. Indeed, in some instances there was evidence that they were brought by favorable winds from even more distant points, perhaps from Tampa Bay. 1So miles distant
 Houseflies and various other insects were also captured at the lighthouse. Scientific American.
