BRANDS IN DANGER.
Stockmen Have Less Than Two Months to Re-record and Es-
 tablish Their Rights.

Only about half the stockmen of the State have re-recorded their brands with the State Live Stock Sanitary Board as yet. Less than two months remain in which they can insure for themselves the ownership of old time brands. Any brand not re-recorded by December 18th is open for use and will belong to the first man who records it as required by law.
 According to Secretary Ed. w. Stephens of the Live Stock Sani- tary Board, the re-recording of the brands has been increasing in volume steadily. At the same time, a very large portion of the live brands are unrecorded. Shou Id the owners overlook their duty too long, there is possibil- ity that designing individuals may record these brands in their own names. The present owners, with stock running under the brands would then find them selves facing what might prove to be very serious complications if not actual loss.
 Orders have been sent to every Livestock Inspector in the De- partment to notify all stockmen as far as they can of the neces- sity of re-recording their brands and to warn them of the short ness of the time remaining in which they may protect their rights to ownership. In this way, the Live Stock Sanitary Board hopes to reduce to a minimum the number of brands in actual use and not yet re-recorded.

It's The Truth.

Tt makes me weary. said the office Oracle the other day, to see how some merchants spend their advertising appropriation in all sorts of futile and funny ways when for a few cents per inch their town paper would de- liver their message right inside the homes of prospective custom CTS. At times am inclined to believe" he continued, there are some folks in business who would pass up the hometown pa- per and clamor to buy advertis- ing space on the inside of a coffin lid. "-Exchange.

THE INTERNATIONALS'
 PROGRESS EDITION

The Special 1919 Greater Pro- gress Edition" of the Douglas h. ternational has reached our edi- torial table and we are pursuing it's pages with interest. It is made up of six sections and each section has eight pages and each page contains seven columns. all filled and teeming with some thing good and truthful of the resources and enterprises of the city of Douglas and the county of Cochise, and of the State of Ari- zona. The edition and the com piling of this special edition has certainly caused a great deal of work but the efforts have not been futile as the edition is a master piece and the people of Douglas, Cochise county and the State will surely appreciate this great triumph in the putting be- fore the people of the whole state and nation her resources.
 May success attend you brother.

MORE ROADS NEEDED


 Chamber of Commerce, which everyone should support, it would be a good thing for us to look into the conditions of our roads mot the one straight through our county-we have other roads that are very much in need of our at- tention and some that would be of great advantage to our city and that would bring more tour ists through this place.
 At present these roads are only common wagon roads on which very little has ever been done ex- cept as some traveller had to do a little work to getover a bad wash. The roads would require but very little work outside of some bridges to make them almost as good as the state highway during the dry season of the year and if they were graded up and surfaced they would mean thousands of dollars more to St. Johns and Apache county.
 One of these roads that we have in mind is the one from St. Johns to Gallup, N. M. While another is from St. Johns to Mag dalena. N. M. If these roads were put into shape a great deal more travel would come to St. Johns than there is at present.
 St. Johns is not on the map as she deserves to be and accommo- dations for the travellers are not sufficient, while the hotel accom- modation that we do have are of the best, they are not sufficiently large to handle the present tour ist travel and if steps are taken to bring more travel this way, it will be up to our present hotel owners to build for larger accom- modations so as to be able to pro- perly take care of those who stop in our little city.
 Many of the travellers who come this way are surprised when they reach St. Johns to find that there is so beautiful a town so far from the railroad,
 During the nice wa, m summer months many tourists prefer to camp out, but as the weather be- gins to get colder they are desir- ous, when reaching a town, to find hotel accommodations, and as the hotels are all overcrowded they have to try and get rooms at some private home, which is hard to do.
 Perhaps we will be told that we are trying to knock St. Johns. but such is not our intentions at all, for 1 suppose you can find the same condition prevailing in most of the town through which the tourists travel.
 We are in hopes that our cham Der of commerce will see the needs of our city and put forth the proper efforts to bring about the desired results and also that | every citizen of St. Johns will rally to their support and help put good old St. Johns on the map where she rightly belongs.

Chamber of Commerce
 is Organized.

Last Thursday night a number of the representative business men of St. Johns got together 10 devise plans for the advertising of our town. The result was the organization of a Chamber of Commerce. E. l. Whiting was elected president, and B. K. Bry- an secretary and treasurer. The membership fee was set at $50. co and eleven firms joined and paid in their fee
 It was the sentiment of those present that our luck had turned and that St. Johns was entering on a new era of prosperity. Our range is in better shape this year than ever before and it seems that at last the Lyman Reservoir is to be completed and the farmer is to have his chance.
 The meeting was adjourned till Tuesday night, Nov. 4th, when completed plans for adver- Using St. Johns will be presented and passed on.
