Do You Sleep We'll?

To be at his best a man must have sound, refreshing sleep.
 When wakeful and restless at night he is in no condition for work or business during the day. Wakefulness is often caused by indigestion and constipation, and is quickly relieved by Chamber lain's Tablets. Try a dose of these tablets and see how much better you feel with 8 clear head and good digestion. Adv

If 1 Were a Farmer

If I were a farmer 1 would keep at hand a few reliable remedies for minor ailments that are not so serious as to require the attention of a physician, such as Chamber lain's Colic and Diarrhoea Reme- dy for bowel complaints,
 Chamherlain's Cough Remedy for coughs, colds and crOup.
 Cham5erlain's Liniment f O spains. bruises and rheumatic pains.
 Chamberlain's Tablets for sto- mach troubles, billiousness and constipation.
 By having these articles at hand it would often save the trouble of a trip to town in the busiest sea son or in the night, and would en- able me to treat slight ailments as soon as they appear, and there by avoid the more serious diseases that so often appear. Adv

 A. B. is trying his level best to give the people of Apache county the best there is in the picture show line. and those who are lovers of movies should boost, and not knock. He is not only trying but is succeeding in giving us the best that we have ever had in our town and county.

VICTORY GARDENS
 THEY'LL PAY.

Did you know that food of all kinds is going to increase in price from now until the end of the war-whenever that may be?
 Did you know that despite all that can be done to check prof. teering, this is bound to happen?
 Did you know that if there were absolutely no profteering that it would happen anyway?
 And this is one reason at least:
 Labor is scarce and it is going to be scarcer.
 War industrials have called la bor from the farms.
 This tends to shorten produc- tion, to shorten food supplies, to increase the price of food by ap- plication of the rule of supply and demand.
 In view of this fact it behooves every person who has a foot of soil to spare to get it under culti- vatiOn.
 Get your own Victory Garden under way and don't lose any time about it. Raise portion of the things you eat, and thus cur tail some of the high prices you are going to pay for food next winter.
 It will pay you to act today.

NEW COURT HOUSE
 DEDICATED.

NLN4NEA LG'
 Tuesday, April 2, 1918, the day set for the dedication and house warming of Apache county s new court house was windy and cold, but undaunted the citizens of our county and others from surround ing counties were present for the purpose of seeing the magnificent building and to take part in the ceremonies.
 At1:30 p, m. the band com menced to play and the crowd gathered on commercial street, after some lively music the par ade of autos loaded with people wended it's way to the house on hill where the following program was rendered:
 1. Music by the band, .2. Address of welcome by Chair
 man Heber Jarvis.
 3. Facts as to cost of building
 by Clerk Levi s. Udall. 4. Dedication of building by
 President D. K. Udall. 5. Music by band.
 6. Address by Hon. B. s. Clark. '. Music by band.
 8. Address by Judge George H.
 Crosby.
 9. Extemporaneous addresses.
 The afternoon passed pleasant ly and all voted the services suc- cessfully performed all the parts being we'll taken and interesting ly given.
 At night the court house was Illuminated with beautiful cleo tric lights and the immense crowd of pleasure seekers filled the house to overfowing. The court room in which it was proposed to hold a dance was a solid mass of humanity and whether dancing or not the floor was literally pack  ed with would be dancers, when the music commenced the mass would begin to move and such jostling, pushing and side step ping we have never witnessed but once in our lives before, but ap- parently all were enjoying them selves immensely. One gentle man when asked the question, what he called it, said: Tt is a Grand Jamberee," and we be- lieve that he had it rightly named.
 Some of the merry makers went home early while others remain ed thinking that perhaps the crowd would thin out and then there would be more room to dance, but up to the hour of 3:30 l a. m. the dance room was dersely filled with the merry makers and when the orchestra commenced l the Home Sweet Home Waltz" they were loud in their protests against bringing the dance to a close.
 The music for the occasion was furnished by Johnson's band.
 The court house is credit to Apache county and fills a long needed want. All the county of fcers are now comfortably locat- ed therein although all the new furniture has not been installed. i
 There were some ladies and | gentlemen here from Snowflake, HoIbrook, Flagstaff, Phoenix and l Prescott from outside counties. Everybody seemed to have the spirit of good will and happiness with them.
