forts and conveniences with exterior

one prospective builder will not appeal

To secure BODYBUILDING ideas a
visit to the local architect, the lumber
and material dealer, and the cOntrac-

building job will be worth while. These
building specialists all have available
a wide range of homes, both perspec-

plans before them, prospective build
ers will be able to select the home that
meets his requirements and can be
built for the amount Of money he
wants to invest. But in going over
these plans it viii surprise anyone
how much real enjoyment he will get.

Burned out brake-bands, broken

evils that may result from driving a
car with the emergency brake locked

After a friend had told him he
had unwittingly driven over twenty

Robbins, a Florida inventor, set about
to devise means of preventing just
such occurrences. The idea can be
applied to any "shift gear" type of

materials.
Contact Spring Essential.
The essential element is a contact
spring applied to each lever, that is,
the emergency brake and gear-shift

Of the car to allow easy shifting.

The determination to build home
Is not arrived at hastily; and after
that object has been fixed in mind
there is required on the part of a
great proportion Of home builders the
saving of money enough to make the
first payment of such an amount that
the contractor who erectS the home,
the lumber and material dealer who
furnishes the materials, and the bank
er, who many times supplies the
money, are assured that the builder
will stick to his determination. Get
ting ready to build the home requires
time in many instances. After the
site is secured and the prospective
builder has reached the point when
he will enter into the contract for the
erection of the home, then comes the
time to select the design Of house that
is wanted.
Ideas of what is ideal in home are
! as varied as taste in dress. Some build
ers would have nothing but bunga-
low, while others would have anything
but a bungalow. A great number of
builders, however, have fixed upon the
stucco house as the most attractive
in exterior appearance and select a
design for this type of house. 1t is to
this class Of prospective builders that
the house shown in the accompanying
illustration will appeal.

OPPORTUNITY IGNORED

With the present high price of
silver The Oasis opined it remarkable
that the Cowboy Mining & Smelling
Company, which has in the Sierritas
mountains, in Pima County, extern
sive deposits of high grade silver ore,
is not making regular shipments.
Last year Colonel Bird made an
expert report upon the properties
embraced in the Cowboy holdings,
including no less than fifty-two
laiins, and he knows that report was
resented where it did deal of good.
Later that report was corroborated
by another made by Mr.. G. Montague
Butler, Director of the Bureau of
Mines, University of Arizona.
] The fifty-two claims are traversed
by great lodges of high grade silver
ores, upon which no little develop
nent has been made, with large ton
mage Of shipping ores on the dumps.
One of these dumps of rich silver ore
Slcluded several hundred thousand
tons, all ready to load and ship. Mr.
Butler's assay yielded 1919 ozs. silver
per ton. It is only four miles over
good road to a railway station, and
that ore would pay to ship, for be-
sides the silver it has some gold, and
carries lead and copper.
The superintendent, Mr.. Alfred
Bell, is a mining man of experience,
who knows good thing, and The
Oasis is puzzled at his neglect of the
line opportunity presented to put his
company in the list of permanent and
regular producers.

RELIEF FOR STOCKMEN
Live Stock Sanitary Board Offers
Help Against Black Leg and
Hog Cholera

Stockmen all over Arizona will be
Interested in the newest activity of
the State Livestock Sanitary Board
by which under the enactment by the
legislature, they are supplying those
who need it with "black leg" vaccine
and ''hog cholera" serum in small
quantities for just what they cost in
big wholesale lots. After studying
the experiences of other states and
as a result of considerable personal
experimentation, State Veterinarian
R. ]. Hight has procured stock of
he most approved germ free liquid
vaccines. he black leg vaccine will
cost 171a cents per dose. 1t is put
up in bottles containing 5, 10, 20 and
As doses, The hog cholera virus and
he hog cholera serum cost 171a
cents per cubic centimeter, Since
the size of the dose varies with the
size of the hog, the cost per dose
will vary from as cents (approx-
imately) to $1.50.
Few people realize how great a
drain black leg is on the state even
ow and in spite of the fact that the
isease is preventable. 1t is estimat-
ed that at least 25,000 young cat
lie have died in Arizona each year
the past few years entailing loss
of approximately $1,000,000 yearly
the cattle interests. The most ex-
asperating part of the thing is that
the loss could have been avoided en-
irely by care and at very slighe
expense.
When black leg gets started, it is
very hard to tell where it will stop.
Since when one animal dies, large
rea of range is liable to become in
fected.
When an animal is infected, it gets
ieverish and stamps around stiff and
anne, for little while. Then swell
lngs appear on various parts of the
body. These swellings are usually on
Inc legs, from which fact the disease
gets it's name. In few days the
animal dies. One dose. of black leg
vaccine which could be procured from
the Livestock Sanitary Board for
liz cents would have given the an
inal immunity for life.
Hog cholera has been almost erad-
lated from Arizona, thanks to the
cooperation of the Federal authori-
les and the State Veterinarian. There
j; never any telling, however, as to
when and where the disease will ap-
pear again since the infection often
remains in the premises for many
months and hogs placed thereon may
take the disease. There is little hope
for the. recovery of a hog stricken
with cholera unless the serum can be
administered very shortly after the
animal is afflicted. The chief work
lof the farmer will be to save the rest
Of his stock. The we'll animals should
be treated with the hog cholera
Virus and serum. This gives them
Immunity from the disease.
Unless the farmer has had exper-
fence in administering the serum,
he should call in veterinarian as
HE treatment requires knowledge
and skill Should there be no veter-
ilary surgeon in the hborhood.
Office should be sent to the Livest OK
Sanitary Boadr at Phoenix and vet

cocky have the German representa-

Yet, judging from the reservations

attitude? We are put in a position of

PAY OF POLICEMEN.

Editor Evening News,
Dear Sir:-In tonights EVENING
NEWS l am informed that the bonus
plan for the increase of pay tof me
policemen of the city was discussed by
the Aldermen at their committee
meeting on Wednesday night L alSo
read in the story hat the pollcelheh
do not favor this kind of an increase
and | feel that they have just cause
for complaint. When the raise toI
the police department first came up l
was one of those who thought the po-
licemen Justly deserved a raise in sal
tary. At that time | was OF the OPINION
THAT the policemen are one OF lhe
most important branches of the CITY
government. l see no reason why L
sbouId change this opinion when one
considers hat these men are Always
ready for duty, rain or shine, cold or
blow, and take their lives IN thelr
hands each time they go on duty.
It certainly seems to me that they
should receive larger pay. A ponce
man never knows what IS llaDle 70
happen to him from the time he leaves
home until he returns. He ma pc
called upon to stop a runaway morse
and in doing so be killed or seriously
injured. He stands for hours in the
middle Of the cold windy street on
traffic duty. He is called upon to
catch gunner and robbers and to take
all kinds of chances that may mean
his death.
For these reasons 1t hardly seems to
me that the policemen should be de-
prived of his increase in salary as
voted by the citizens of this city at
the last election. When the policemen
were campaigning for this raise among
the voters they said nothing of re-
! ceiving an increase in the form or a
bonus, but did talk on the fiat raise
in salary and when citizens went to
The polls and voted yes to give these
men the raise, they did not vote for a
raise of the money paid them as a
bonus, but for the flat increase in pay.
If the Board of Aldermen do not see
fit to grant the increase in pay TO the
policemen as it was voted to them the
government of this city is surely not OF
the people or by tie people, for the
Ipeople have spoken and by their
votes have declared themselves In
favor Of granting the increase TO the
lDolicemen but not as q bonus. If the
aldermen do not desire to carry ou'
the wishes of the people to whom they
are accountable for their actions III
