Beating the bounds was a spe-

where land surveys were imperfect.
land grants irregular, and the bound
aries OF each mans farm or planta-
ton at first very uncertain. In vir-
ginin this beating the bounds was
called "proccssioning.", Landmarks
were renewed that were becoming OBJ
literntcd; blazes on tree would be
somewhat grown over they were
deeply recut; piles Of great stones
containing certain number for des-
ignation were sometimes scattered
the original number would be re-
stored. Special trees would be found
fallen or cut down: new marking
trees would be planted, usually pear
trees. as they were iong.llved. Dis.
putcd boundaries were decided upon
and announced 10 NIL the persons pres

ostentatIous Words.

Why cannot scientific persons who
undertake 10 be informing to the pub.
lie learn TO display their learning, less
ostentatiously and TO convey their
meaning more intelllgibly? One health
authority tells us profoundly that "an-
orexia" also Is present with Spanish
influenza. We take this. from the die
tionary, to mean loss Of appetite,
which really would not be bad thing
these days; but unless II is assumed
that nobody but medical men are to
have the disease, It might be well to
give the miscellaneous lay public q
chance to know what may all II.

MOTOR TRACTORS HELP

Keep Artillery Almost Abreast Of Ad.
vance at All Times.
Americans In London who are famil-
lar with late developments in army
methods believe that the American
success In the Soissons-C Chateau Thier-
ry counter-offensive was due to their
ability to move heavy artillery for
ward quickly.
Artillery motor tractors, 1t is be-
lieved, are the answer. BY use of the
armored tractor they could keep their
artillery almost abreast of the ad-
vance at all times. The tractor is
said to be able to do six miles an hour
over the toughest ground.

TEXAS NO PLACE FOR SEEKERS 0F LEISURE
 IN OIL BOOM DAYS

Texas is a good place to go if Q man wishes to see the real boom days of pioneering, but it is poor place for the man who is seeking leisure rest and comfort, according to Sam H. Kyle, city attorney, who returned yes terday fIom. business trip through the oil fields districts. It is really strenuous work seeing the sights, de clares Kyle.
 Opportunities for the man with moderate capital and good judgment the as plentiful now as ever before. Kyle adds, but the man with meager capital in the Texas fields is up against al hard proposition. If he remains long the entire amount of his funds will be eaten up in expenses.
 "Roard is high when you can find anything to eat" said Kyle. Rooms are practically out of sight. Motor car hire, supplies, and everything else are bringing top prices"
 Kyle went into the oil fields repre- senting local investors who will or ganize for the purpose of improving properties which they have acquired He made his report to the organiza ton last night.

REORCANIzED COMMERCIAL CLUB 10
 MAINTAIN NINE WORKING DIVISIONS

Plans for the reorganization of the Commercial club on broader lines that will serve the community to better advantage are gradually taking shape. In a compilation of facts and figures by the secretary of the club many added features are contemplated. It is the contention of the secretary that every man having interests in the district should be a member of the or ganizatiOn, which is the heart of all civic and commercial welfare. Says the secretary in his pamphlet 10 the public "by solid cooperation we can move mountains but without it ant hills are insurmountable"
 Organize Nine Divisions
 Future plans of the club contem. plate the improvement of commercial, financial and civic interests of the Warren district With that end in view more than 200 members will be added and these members will be di. vided into nine divisions, executive, traffic, civic, publicity, agriculture, re- tail merchants, legislation, taxation and mining and highway Each di- vision will be separate and distinct and will have full power to act. the chairman of each division being man. ager of his department.
 The club intends to take up traffic matters with ideas of solving shippers problems and to give advice as to rates and routes. It will also act as representative of the shippers before the railroad commission and the in- terstate commerce commission.
 To Maintain Farm Bureau
 Another added feature in the plan of reorganization is the maintenance of farm bureau for the purpose of encouraging profitable agriculture, stock raising and horticulture. The club intends to conduct farm demos strations and work in conjunction with the county farm agent.
 In the publicity department it is the plan to gather and place before tns public all the facts and statistics re- garding the Warren district, especially bending efforts to attracting tourists and auto excursions.
 Considerable attention will be de- voted to the highway commission and the club will promote the buildins and improvement of highways in this locality and cooperate in every de- gree with the highway commission.

I At the outbreak of the war the di. rectors met and decided that during the period of the war their organiza- ton would bend every effort and de vote all their finances toward the win ming or the war. The work that the club performed while the country was in the grip of the great world war was remarkable. They worked under Her. bert Hoover in the conservation of food; organized machinery for the handling of the draft selectives aNu served as a cog in the great mobiliza- tion system of America's army filling out more than 1900 questionnaires
 Organized Liberty Loan
 In the first Liberty loan the Com mercial club appointed the committee and assisted in carrying out the flo tation of S1,OOO,OO0 in Liberty bonds to an oversubscribed conclusion. In the second Liberty loan the Commer- cial club machine put over Cochise county's quota with a greater over subscription than in any other county in the state The same is true of the third and fourth loans.
 It assisted the Red Cross and the other organizations in the raising of funds in the numerous drives they car ried out. During the forming of the different drafts in the Warren district the club entertained the boys lavish ly and gladly defrayed all expenses.
 In the filling out of the income taxes the secretary assisted in comput- ing over 25OO returns in two years, saving. by his knowledge of exemption laws, thousands of dollars for the peo- pie Of the Warren district. Fifty thrift stamp agencies were established hy the club in the community and the quota was raised.
 Behind Road Bonds
 The Commercial club got behind the county bond issue for S1000,000 in road bonds and s2OO,OOO in Bisbee pay ing bonds which when realized will make the county the banner one Of the state for good roads. The club recog- nized the value of cross country high ways and sent delegates to the two road conventions and it is responsible for the probable routing of the Bank head highway over the Borderland route which will mean thousands of dollars to the Warren district by vir- ture of the expenditures of tourists travelling over this all-year route from coast to coast.

IT. CHESTER JOHNSON
 WRITES FROM FRANCE

Lieutenant Chester Johnson, well known in the Warren District, and a former reporter on one of the Doug las papers, has written a very inter- esting letter from St. Aigen-Noyer to one of his friends in Douglas. John- son is better known to his friends as "Chet". He enlisted in the First Ariozna Infantry when it was station ed at Naco. Johnson's letter in part follows:
 -Four of us out of the 15Sth who dropped out of the regiment at Bor- deaux as it started for home, are now up here waiting for assignment to duty, return to the states or any thing else that will relieve the mo- notony of bunk fatigue
 From all available information I would say that 2,O0O lieutenants and 1000 officers of other grades are awaiting for orders in addition to 5000 enlisted men who are awaiting return to the states or, discharge in France"
 rance of these facts led to the former prosecutions and convictions"
 Among the laws against which ref erendum petitions are now being cir culated in the state. and which have appeared in this district, are the new motor vehicle regulations law, the new law requiring preliminary hearings in all criminal cases, and the new law regulating motor vehicle stage lines.
