One Of the efforts of the state gov
ernment of Arizona and the federal
government in their campaign for the
eradication Of predatory animals,
which cause large losses In range
stock, Is the employment Of skilleC
hunters. Thirteen are now IN the EN-.

ments.
Other men are exterminating rodents
which destroy ranges
One of the hunters within two

quarter for some required develop ment.
 Works for Their Needs
 Suppose the farmers of a certain district need a bridge across the Salt river. Right now the Commercial club is working on just such a condition and has spent it's money sending a delegate 10 Washington for that pur pose. Suppose the dairy interests arc being threatened by harsh or unneces- sary regulations. The farmers meet and start the ball rolling for a proper adjustment of the matter; but suppose further, that those same farmers could be represented in the Commercial club by a dairy committee composed of practical dairymen then the whole in- fluence of every bank every store ev- cry professional man in the club could be brought to bear for the good of the dairy industry. This is but one illus tration of the hundreds of farm prob lems that come up year after year and in which the interests of the town and country are absolutely identical.
 This article might be stretched out to column after column, but would merely become tiresome to the reader. Suffice it to say that the club wants a live, active lot of farmers on it's roll and is going to make an effort to se- cure them.
 Bury Old Jealousies
 Let this be the final word The time now is fully ripe for all old time jeal- Ousies and prejudices between town and country to cease. They are too closely bound together. In Scripture language. Gan the hand say to the eye, have no need of thee; are not all members one of another?" And that is equally true of the rancher in town. The man in town. whether he be mer- chant or any other business man, who tries to exploit and take advantage of the man who stays on the farm and has not the time to keep posted on all matters of careful and, possibly, sharp dealing, is an unworthy citizen, and the town is better off without him, and the farmer. who can see the ugly side of town as represented by some one unscdupulous dealer, and who classes all the big hearted, generous citizen ship of the town in the same class, is too narrow to be fitly classed with the honest, intelligent list of ranchers.
 After all, what is the difference? One man lives inside an imaginary line know mas the corporate limits of the town and the other lives outside that line. They are just the same men. and if one moved in and the other out, they would be still the same man. Their interests are the same-as one pros pers. the other prospers, and as one fails the other suffers. Let us get together and present a solid front of boosters for a live town surrounded by the best country in all this broad land.

THE COMMERCIAL
 CLUB 5 FUTURE AND THE FARMER
Interest of Ranchers In Or ganization Should Be As Great As That of the Mer-
 chants and City Residents

Is membership in community building organization worth while to them an on the farm This is a ques- ton that frequently is put up to the farmer. and as a rule he has answered it in the negative. The present mem bership of the Mesa Commercial club represents two banks. several grocery stores, the dry goods stores. the fur niture houses, the hotels. tho physi- clans. the lawyers, the varied indus tries of the town, with but two or three ranchers out of the scores i'm mediately surrounding the town of Mesa.
 One thing is true, namely that tho Mesa Commercial club wants the far mer and has made continuous efforts to interest him in the institution An other thing is equally true. and that is that it is not the farmers money the club wants, for frequently the question has come up as to whether the man on the farm should not be taken in as an honorary member. ac- corded aH the privileges of the clun. and that without any charge. This question has always been decided in the negative. because it is realized that fl the farmer believes the club will be Co his advantage. he is just as ready to pay his share as any other man. and would resent an offer to include him In the membership without him sharing tho obligations and expenses of the game
 Club Is for All
 So the problem arises as to why the

WHAT II COSTS ID BE \ MEMBEROF THE
 COMMERCIAL CLUB

There are no set dues for the Mesa Commercial club. The only restric- ton is that the minimum dues per month shall not be less than one dol lar. The committee goes to a man and asks him to become a member. What he pays is entirely for him to say. Neither is it possible under the con- stitution and bylaws to assess any member against his will. The club carefully avoids asking for any money other than the regular monthly amount pledged, attempting to pay all obli gations out of this amount, and more than once have the directors gone to the bank and given their personal notes for money to meet obligations, paying off the note with receipts that came in later
 However, if occasion ever arises whereby more money is needed for any special undertaking, only voluntary contributions may be asked. and it is entirely within the pleasure of each member IS to whether contribution shall be made. The writer of this ar ticle. remembers that during one and one half years, when he was kee ping in touch with this matter, only one voluntary contribution was asked and this was for but s1.OO each by any who wished to give. It was to send a delegate to Washington to look after an important matter of benefit to the community at large
 That the investment made by the members is deemed a worth while one is evidenced by the fact that those members who have been in the club longest. still retain their membership. and most of them have this year in creased their monthly pledge Nearly sllO0 more per month has been pledged for this year than ever before. The men giving it, are in the main, lard headed clear thinking business men. who do not throw money away carelessly. If the commercial club was
Arizona republican., 1919-03-03

farmer is not interested in such or ganizations. and in the humble opin- ion of the writer. it is because the ranchcr fails to realize that the club has for it's aim the ultimate progress Of tho entire section. and that all the efforts of the club, if successful at all. will result in equal benefit 10 both town and country.
 Let us notice the following few truths
 If the farmer is not prospering, the town will not prosper. This is funda mental Given poor crops. or GOT rices for crops raised. given unsuccessful farms that are not paying their owners or tenants a fair return. and the evil is felt in every department of the towns trade. The merchants of Mesa have prospered during the past few years because the farmers have pros- pered.
 Next: The energies of the commer- cial organization would fail utterly if there existed a failure to keep the farming developments before prospec- tive settlers.
 The farmer is familiar with the class bt uLtt ttulc sent out uN lHe CIuD Tn response to inquiries. The booklets tell briefly of the town, mention the churches and schools. and then pro- ceed at greater length and with attrac- tive photographs to hold up the farm lands. the dairy, livestock, bee culture. cotton growing and other interests of the farm life of the country.
 Boosts Farm Sales
 Them an who writes for a booklet almos invariably wants a farm, and the club immediately sets out to tell him the farms around Mesa are just about the best investment he can make. If he does not come out soon there after. another letter and booklet are sent him and he is kept on the mailing list, always with a view to seeing that he gets a share in the farm lands of the Mesa district. This increases the value of the land simply because it increases the demand. The net result is, first more people in the valley be- cause the larger farms are cut up into smaller tracts. a happier farmer be- cause neighbors are brought closer to- sether on these smaller home places {: and the town gets the benefit of more land titled, and more business.
 Does the farmer need the club |? There are times when every man in the community is needed 10 put through some necessary legislation or to bring pressure to bear on some
