well, lawyer, one year.
The meeting Monday afternoon at
the courthouse to select the new
board was well attended. nearly all
the townships in the county being
represented.
Frank George Bondeau, of Colum.
bus, came to this city for the purpose
of assisting in organizing the board
under the provisions of the Hughes
law
Several days ago, Mayor Bair of
Mt. Vernon called a meeting of the
mayors of the Incorporated villages
of the county and the presidents of
the township boards of trustees. This
meeting was scheduled for Monday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
These men met and appointed the
members of the new health board.
The board will consist of five mem
bers, the law specifying that one
member shall be lawyer, one Il
farmer and two physicians, while the
other two members may be from any
other calling.
There was some discussion at the
meeting as to the expenses of this
new board of health, and questions
were asked as to how much 1t would
cost the county for its maintenance.
Mr.. Bondeau did not have many fig.
ures to show just how much the cost
of the board would be, but gave the
data furnished by one or two other
counties which have already organ
ized, which give a general idea of the
probable cost to this county.
The board budget for Brown coun-
ty, which Is somewhat smaller than
Knox in point OF population, is $500,
and the budget for Crawford county,
which is a, little larger than this
county in point OF population, is
$11,500. II Is probable that the es-
innate for this county will be some
where between the limits of the
above figures. The state provides
$1,000 for the assistance of each coun-
ty in paying the expenses of this new
organization.
This board OF health now proceeds
to appoint physician to serve the
district as health officer, and give 1t
his entire time, and he will have for
his assistants one nurse and one
clerk.
DR.. Bondeau was careful to i'm
press upon the organization the nee.
essity of appointing the best man in
the district for this position that II is
possible to find, and to make the sal
airy large enough to be attractive to
the best talent in the county. II is
the wish of the state to have the best
health organization In the country
and 1t Is believed that, IL the law Is
carried through In the spirit in which
II was written. there will be no trOu
BILE in realizing these hopes.
Tho county physician or health OF
licer will reside In the county seat,
There will be several meetings OF
this nature before the necessary bust
ness of organization is completed, ant
the president, Mayor B. II. Bair, vii
send out the announcement Whenever
the day Is set.

 BE EVENT IF YEAR

The biggest thing in the way of a dance that Phoenix has seen this year will be the military grand ball of the Great War veterans association to be held Friday night, April 20, at Arcadia auditorium. Claude Thompson is the Vet in charge of the arrangements, and he has arranged for a gala night of pleasant surprises. The service men will appear in uniform, but it will be informal to those not in uniform.
 The programs are the last word in this line, and list a masterful combina- ton of fox trots, one-steps and waltzes The music vii lbe furnished by Besse's orchestra reinforced with some jazz artists who will furnish more than the usual inspiration. Several military features will be staged during the evening that will lend merited dis tinction to the event.
 Tickets have been placed on sale at the Strand Tobacco shop and at Vic Hanny's. The floor will accommodate 1000 couples, but the ticket sale has been limited to a very much smaller number in order to avoid any crowded

ENGLAND LOST MOST TONNAGE
(New York Post)

Archibald Hurd's table of shipping losses cabled from London contains nothing really new, but makes possible interesting comparisons. The total sinkings reach almost 13H million tons gross of which Great ,Britains share iS. 9050, 900. Translated into dead weight tonnage, the total loss would he roughly 21h million tons. and Great Britains share of it about l4A million tons-this against total merchant tonnage when the war began cf 73.- 6f0, 900 tons for the world. Our whole government shipbuilding program as originally outlined exceeded this Brit ish loss by no large margin.
 Tn outright sinkings Britain has lost about d fifth of the worlds tonnage and more than eight times as much as Norway; more than eleven times as much as France or It2ly; seventeen tines as much as the United States. and almost forty times as much as Holland. But in computing the net deficit due to the war it is usual to include an estimate Of about , million lightweight tons that HoJll have been built above all losses if the war had nd occurred; and Britains share of the worlds shipbuiiding varied m 111-1913 between 5S and 6S per cent. Itsis. easy 10 understand why England should be troubled why Hurd and others should urge hurried rebuilding, and why a heavy bill to Germany should be talked of.

While Henry Brown lounged under the shade of sheltering trees. his wife with @ borrowed shovel, and carrying baby in her arms, built up the walls of the ditches preparatory to securing water for irrigation of their farm, ac- .cording to evidence offered in Justice De Souzas court yesterday where Brown was given his preliminary hear ing on the charge Of failure to provide for his wife and child.
 Brown contended that it was the work for a team and not for a man, al though his wife proved it was a job that a woman could do if necessary. As she dug with her neighbor's shovel, she also cared for her baby, a neighbof, J. H. Warren, said
 Mrs. Brown told the story of years of struggle for a mere existence and of the hopes of her husband and herself when they arrived in this valley from Bisbee. They rented 13-acre rancs near Alhambra with the intention o1 l planting it in cotton. They found then land, literally covered in Johnson grass and were advised by experts it woull be waste of effort to attempt to plan 1t in cotton. Mrs. Brown testified tha, 1 she advised farming the land, while he husband, discouraged, went away, ac cepting an odd job here and there.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Factors which contributed measurabiy to the strength and activity of today's stock market. notably the confident buylnS of rails, were operative again today, re- inforced by keen inquiry from other popular shares, particularly steeis, cop pers and numerous equipments.
 United States Steel was the central feature at an extreme gain of PA points to 103, though yielding all but large fraction in the extensive profit taking of the last hour.
 The rise in rails was again restricted mainly to low grade issues of the west ern and southwestern section.
 Aside from Royal Dutch, oils were uncertain.
 Tobaccos, fertilizers, food specialties and a variety of miscellaneous issues forfeited much of their variable gains at slight pressure, an irregular tone prevailing at the active close. Sales amounted to 100000 shares. which sets a high water mark for the year to date Bonds including Liberty issues were firm but featureless. Total sales, pal value. aggregated s11.S75,0O0.

COMMISSION ORDERS
 MORE STREET PAVING

Civic paving enterprises occupied a considerable portion of the city com missions regular meeting Yesterday. Among those acted upon and favorably was the matter of paving Tenth street in front of the new Arizona Deacopess hospital grounds at Tenth and Me Dowell road.
 At a previous meeting of the com mission, the paving of Tenth street had struck snag in the objection of MT. Carpenter. owner of the property affected n the west side of the street. to the paving. After MT. Carpenters objection, the commission decided to leave the west side of the street out of the project, and, accordingly, only the east side of the street will be paved, that abutting on the hospital grounds
 The matter of paving East Willetta street between Seventh and Twelfth streets, laid over at a previous meet ing for the purpose of invest gating water mains, was finally settled yes terday when the commission instruct ed the city engineer to prepare plans for the project.

REPORT METHOD
OF FIGHTING BOIL
WEEVIL INCOTTON

State Entomologist A. C. Lewis and
his assistant, D. c. Warren, have
just returned from a trip in Louisi-
ana and Mississippi, where they in
vestigated the use Of calcium arsen-
ate in lighting the boil weevil. Sew
eral large cotton plantations in both
states were visited by the entomol-
ogists and a thorough investigation
conducted. They brought back valu-
able information for the cotton grow
ers of Georgia. Their advice is.
however, that they go slowly and
this new method as the conditions
in Georgia differ from those in Louis
lana and Mississippi.
Mr.. Lewis stated that while the
results SO far secured from busting
with calcium arsenate are very prom
Using, the work is still in an expert
mental stage. The machinery for ap-
plying the dust has not been perfect
ed as it should be. The amount per
used. 1t should be applied at the
Of applications and the interval be-
tween applications will have to be
worked out better than they are at
present Another of the questions
that will require much work is
whether the calcium arsenate should
be used alone or mixed with some
carrier, such as lime or sulphur or
both.
MT. Lewis ADVISES that for the
present straight calcium arsenate be
used. 1t should be aDlpied at the
rate of four to five pounds per acre,
four to six times at intervals of one
week. The busting, he said, should
not be begun until the square is at
least 10 to Is per cent infected by
the weevil.
Mr.. Lewis states that high-grade
of calcium arsenate must be used
and that it should come to the fol-
lowing standard: Not less than 40
per cent arSenate pentoXide; not
more than rs per cent water solu
BILE arsenic pentoXide, and the densi-
ty not less than 80 per cent or more
than 100 cubic inches to a pound.
The Louisiana and Mississippi
farmers and agricultural experts are
enthusiastic over this method of
fighting the boil weevil and manv of
them stated to the Georgia entomolo-
gists that they would as soon at
tempt to raise cotton without dust
ing it as they would attempt to con-
duct their business without insuring
it.
The board of entomology will con-
duct extensive experiments this sea-
son to determine what methods and
materials will give the best results
in Georgia. 1t is hoped that with
in another year definite recommends
tons can be made to the farmers of
Gtorgia.
Mr.. Lewis is ready to give special
advice to all interested in the mat
ter if they will write him. His Of
fee is in the state capitol.
