Dec. 18th Time Limit
to Record Brands
All Cattle Owners Required to
Re-Record by That Date

Hundreds of Arizona stockmen
are in danger of loosing their title
to brands because of their neglect
to file applications for re-recording
in accordance with the new law,
declares Ed. w. Stephens, secre-
tary of the Live Stock Sanitary
Board of Arizona.
Out of 10000 brands recorded
during the past twenty years, ap-
proximately one-fourth only have
been flad for re-recording. Dece1n-
Der 18th has been fixed by law as
the final date on which applica-
tions for re-recording may be filed
with the Live Stock Board. After
that date it will be necessary for
the owner of live stock to secure a
new brand and pay a $500 fee
for the same. All brands which
have not been re-recorded by that
time will be subject to re-distribu-
ton and distributed to applicants
in the order filed without regard to
their previous use.
From the above it will be seen
that immediate action must be TAX
en- by stockmen if they would avoid
endless confusion, not only with
reference to their own brands but
to the live stock industry in gen
eral.
All applications for the re-re-
cording of brands should be ad.
dressed to Ed. w. Stephens, Secre-
tary of the Live Stock Sanitary
Board of Arizona, State Capitol,
Phoenix.
Secretary Stephens desires to
make clear that those who have
already filed applications need have
no concern. 1t will take several
weeks to complete the work of re-
cording and there may be some de-
lay in the matter of receiving GER
tifcates but those on file on or be-
fore December 18th NAV rest as
sured that their interests will be
fully protected.

Back from Ranger Oilfield

Mr.. D. A. Adams, of Dragoon,
returned Thursday from month S
stay in the Ranger, Texas, oilfeld
where he has been looking after
drilling operations. He says the
continuous rains have made the
country one immense bog and that
everything in the way of develop
ment work is under the biggest
kind of handicap. The roads are
in terrible condition, and it is al
most impossible to move drilling
machinery or casing. 1t is reported
that II inches of rain have already
fallen there this season.
Oil strata Welding a 2O-barrel
flow was struck at about 100 feet
in the Adams we'll which was cased

21OO feet. Further progress will
depend on the weather and the dry
ing up to some extent of the now
almost impossible roads.

ations. This cost him hundred.

Mr.. Adams brought back photos
showing cars almost submerged in
a sea of mud. In Ranger he says
enterprising parties have a sort of
mud scow in use as ferry boat on
one OF the principal streets, charg-
ing passengers fifty cents for cross

A Choice of Two Evils

A fifteen mile walk, leaving a
stalled motor truck to take care of
itself, was the experience of Mr..
Alexander Heron, merchant of
Cascabe1 early yesterday morning.
Owing to the almost indescribably
disgraceful state of disrepair into
which the so-called road on the
west side of the river has been
allowed to lapse, Mr.. Heron de-
cided to swing over to the more
roundabout post" road on the
east side of the river in his trips to
and from town. But as his expe-
rience of yesterday morning proves,
he found the new route very little
better than the old.
His misfortune is a pretty good
indication that something needs to
be done to make a passable road
down the river, on one side OF the
other, to replace the burro trails
now being used. This is a natural
north and south route through the
state as to location, going to Red
ington. Mammoth, Winke1men,
Hayden, Ray and the Globe Miami
district, and besides is short route
to Phoenix.

St. David Schools

The St. David school, both the
grammar grade and high school, is
running in most perfect order. The
teachers all returned from Institute
filled with enthusiasm and will
to make the school success. Prof.
Baker, the principal, in addition to
his classes, is able to get around
over the class rooms and see what
each is doing.
The Agriculture and Domestic
Science departments, which are
new this year. are valuable addi-
tons to the courses of study and
their advantages appreciated by the
scholars and parents. In fact there
is not room in the school that has
not a good live teacher-one who
knows the work and puts forth eff
fort to make the school a success.
We hope and are working to the
end of a new high school building
fully equipped for school in 1920.
Mr.. L. E. Matteson, State In
spector of Apiaries, is giving ser
les of lectures on bee culture in the
High School, one of which, given
this week, was on the making of
beehives of old boxes or waste ma
terial. He had the boys actually
make a beehive, and they got a
practical lesson. These lectures
will be continued throughout the
year.
Three units of playground appa-
ratus are now being put in place
on the Grammar School grounds
for the amusement and healthful
exercise of the children.

Should Be Quarantined

Many physicians believe that
anyone who has a bad cold should
be completely isolated to prevent
other members of the family and
associates from contracting the de-
sease, as colds are about as catch
ing as measles. One thing sure,
the sooner one rids himself of cold
the less the danger, and you will
look good deal before you find a
better medicine than Chamberlain S

a cold.

Soldiers and Sailors
Settlement Bill
Congress Expected to Enact the
Law Sidetracked Last Session

Plans recommended by Secretary
of the Interior Lane and Repre-
sentative Ferris for the establish
ment of soldiers and sailors in
homes in rural and urban districts,
but which failed of enactment at
the last session of Congress, were
approved by the American Legion
at its last convention in Minneap-
oils. The Legion declared for re-
clamation of unproductive lands,
restoration and development of ru-
raj communities for settlement by
persons formerly in the military
and naval service, for loans by the
Government to those who desire to
purchase homes in city or country,
and for administration of the un-
dertakings by men formerly of the
army or the navy.
Secretary Lanes proposition con-
templated reclamation of waste
lands and the upbuilding of com-
munities, and provided for the pay
ment of adequate wages to former
soldiers and sailors who were en-
ployed in the work of developing
such settlements. Under this plan
the Government was to lend money
for long terms and give other as
Sistance to assure the success of the
project. The creation of commu
mites with schools and churches,
stores, telephones, electric light
and power and transportation was
to reduce to a minimum the incon-
venience of settlers.
When it became evident that
many soldiers and sailors without
agricultural experience or a wish to
engage in farming would prefer an
opportunity to buy homes in urban
districts where they could find
work to their liking, Representa-
tive Ferris enlarged the scope of
the original proposals to meet these
preferences. Accordingly, his bill
contemplated authorizing loans to
enable these men to obtain homes
in cities and towns.
Both the Lane and Ferris bills
were liberal in their provisions,
and were advocated by large mum
bers of former soldiers and sailors.
The majority leaders of Congress,
however, declined to enact them
into law, and announced that they
would not move until the Ameri-
can Legion had indicated what sort
of legislation it wanted.
The Legion's action in memo
rializing Congress to pass measures
almost identical with the Lane
measure is evidence that both bills
were the result of careful study OF
