Had Stomach Trouble for Seven
 Years

Theodore Sanford of Kenmore, Mich. has had stomach trouble for seven years and could not eat veg etables or fruit without pain in the stomach and restless nights. By taking Chamberlain's Tablets he is now able to eat vegetables or fruit without causing pain or sleeplessness. If troubled with indigestion or constipation give these tablets a trial. They are certain to prove beneficial. Adv.

Success Seems Certain

Since the breaking of the Ly- man dam, April 14, 1914. many ups and downs have been expert enced by the people of our coun- ty. At times everything looked good and prospects hopeful and then again something would hap pen to blast the hopes of all con- cerned in the upbuilding of this part of the land.
 Many there are who have their all in this one project and many hours of anxiety have been spent Ey tkem vato hing and waiting for developments that would give them chance to sink or swim. At last that chance has come and from what we can learn the state has taken charge of the construc- tiOn of the Lyman dam. Super vising engineer. MT. Sellew. is the man whom the government of the state has seen fit to place in charge of this work and if we are any judge, we believe that he is the right man for the right place in the right time.
 Quite a large force is already at work on the dam and more men are constantly added to the grow ing force. Mr. Sellew informs us that it is the intention to give the local people the preference as far as possible and that every dollar that can be spent in the county will be spent here.
 Itis thought that the dam will be completed within eight months and that it will be far enough ad- vanced to hold some water for late irrigation.

of it's atmosphere.
 It is the desire for knowledge that keeps us from stagnation.
 Its is the attainment of know ledge guided by reason that raises us above the brute; that makes US an asset to society rather than a menace.
 The dreamer of today are to- morrow's realities.
 So to sum up: The third class are the trail blazers of civilization; carrying the torch of the accum- ulated wisdom of the ages.
 The second class are the pio- neers, making advancement pos sible and practical.
 While the first class are the camp followers, the riff raff, the dead weight upon the shoulders of progress. The worlds Nem- esis.

Do You Know?
By DON MARIUS.

sitive about a little mental prod ding don't read this article.
 We are indebted to the War Department for the information that ten per cent of the young men drafted into service were absolutely Hliterate or could not read sufficiently we'll to under stand a written order.
 Think of it. One young man out of every ten as ignorant as the Hill Billies" of Arkansas.
 A country with compulsory ed ucation and a hundred years of free schools.
 Our country is not safe, our highly vaunted institutions are not safe with this incubus of ig- norance hung round our necks.
 Get this. An ignorant man is always menace to society.
 It is this ten per cent, this ig- norant horde from which our criminals come. from which mobs are built and today form the ground work for BoIshevism in Europe.
 Parents and teachers are to blame. With our school facilities there is no excuse for an illiterate iu all this broad land.
 Neither Arizona nor Apache County furnished more than it's share of these ignorant boys; but it is shame that we could or should have supplied any of them. We have teachers, young men and young women. in our public schools who are not there in any branch of the studies taught.
 If the reader thinks this a broad assertion we can prove it.
 Mentally classified, mankind falls under three heads.
 First: The man who does not know and DOES NOT WANT TO
  KNOW. God pity him. He is the ten per cent. He is the req! men, ace. He fills our jails and char itable institutions. He is the first tC form mobs and do violence. He is more expensive to the pub lie than the other nintey per cent.
 Second: The man who does not know but WANTS TO KNOW. l God help him. He is seventy per cent of the whole. He is the builder. Forests are felIed, | homes, schools, libraries and churches spring up, farms are dug out of the virgin soil and needs for the coming generation are made of which themselves were denied. The hope of the nation rests with this class. The fact that a man WANTS TO KNOW redeems him.
 Third: The man who knows and is not satisfied. Real know ledge does not bring contentmept. If it did, the lie would be given to the law of evolution and we would cease to progress. This class are the real thinkers, stud ents, scientists. The leaders of the world in thought. Continu- ally striving after the unknow- able, never satisfied. Dreamers if you are pleased to call them so. but men who threw away the reap hook and gave us the binder. Men who gave up the pony mes senger to grasp the wireless. From two poles strapped to an in clan pony as means of convey ance to automobiles and flying machines. Men who can weigh a planet and tell you the density (

DOUBLE RED CROSS
EXPLAINED; NOT A
SIGN OF RELIGION

For more than 10 years anti-tuber-
culosis societies and institutions have
been using the double red cross as a
symbol or emblem which should indi
cate the fight against che disease in
which they are engaged. 1t was first
adopted for this purpose as the symbol
of the International Anti tuberculosis
association of Berlin, in October, 1902.
Its proposer, was DIR. G. Sersiron of
Paris. DR.. Sersiron took the shape of
the cross from the common croix de
Lorraine and the cross of the Greek
Catholic church. Today the emblem is
being used by anti tuberculosis work
ers in every part of the world.
In 1906, the national tuberculosis as
ISOLATION by special resolution
adopted this emblem for use in the
United States, but did not specify the
form of the proportions which should
be used. The result of this action has
been that almost all of the one thou
sand agencies now engaged in anti
tuberculosis work in this country have
been using the double red cross as their
emblem, but in such a variety of
shapes, forms and proportions, that it
would not be at all difficult to pick
OuI q lAhllOl GU NL1lCltll VI
crosses. One will find crosses with
square ends, and pointed ends, long
slender crosses, or short 'squatty'
ones. Here is cross with the arms
of the same length, while in another
place is one with arms Of different
lengths. 1t would seem that every
possible Formulation or combination
of crosses that could be worked out
had been adopted by one or the other
of the many anti tuberculosis agencies
in this country.
Because of this chaos of emblems,
! the national association at it's 1912
meeting appointed a special committee
consisting of DR.. Henry Barton Jacobs
of Baltimore, chairman; Frank H.
Mann, of New York, and James Min
nick of Chicago, to consider the design
and dimensions of the double red
cross as the emblem to be used by all
! anti-tuberculosis associations in the
! United States. The committee pre-
scented it's first report at the meeting
of the national association in May
1913. After careful study of the history
and of the artistic merits of numerous
designs, the committee reported in ia
vor of a double red cross with equa,
cross arms, the upper standard beins
shorter and the lower standard longer
than the cross arms, the ends of botf
cross arms and standards being point
ed instead of square. The committed
was influenced in it's decision by tht
following reasons: % Because tht
| design selected is furtherst removed
from any design having religious in.
fluence; 90 because it is furthest re
moved from the well-known emblem
used by the American National Rec
Cross, and 90 because its widespread
use in this country by many anti -tu
berculosis associations over Ion,
period of years has associated it il
the public mind with the tuberculosis
movement.

CATTLE RUST[|NC
IN NORTH, REPORT

aCttle rustlers are reported invading
this state by way of the Utah border
line and driving out Arizona herds
which they dispose Of in Utah, accord
ing to advices received yesterday by
Secretary E. W. Stephens of the live
stock sanitary board. Notification of
the reported raids was sent immedi-
ately 10 all deputies of the board as
we'll as to the mohave county authori-
ties and the Utah state officials.
The rustlers are reported using
brands of Utah register and similar to
brands registered in this state, the
Arizona brands owned by G. IT. Dun
can and Henry Bacon having been
discovered already among the dupli-
cate registrations in Utah, and the
stock of those two owners being
traced to the cattle thieves, according
to Stephens report.
When called to account, Stephens
says, the alleged rustlers claimed that
Arizona stock had strayed across the
line and mixed with the Utah stock
that they owned. The complaints about
the rustling are being investigated
further by the Arizona board.

WISH To BECOME
POSTED ON TAXES

Taking its cue from Arizona where
the 100 per cent assessment" plan has
prevailed since 1912, the New Mexico
tax commission has been here for sew
eral days to study the local modus
operandi, according to Chairman C. M.
Zander of the commission here.
The New Mexico representatives are
Chairman J. f. Saint and Secretary
John Poerns. They left for Santa Fe
last night
lander says his office has received
many flattering letters from tax COM
missioners throughout the country be-
cause of the 100 per cent assess
ment' plan that is said to be working
to such good advantage here. He at
tributes the success of the Arizona
system partly to the fact that theh
Arizona commissioners are subpject to
election instead of appointment, as is
the case. he says, with every other
state tax commission in the country.

AT THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT


1t has been estimated that more
than 40 additional scenes of action
beyond those that occurred in the stage
play are presented in the picture YER
sion of THE Gamblers" This Vita
graph production. with Harry T.
Morey as star, will be presented at
the Republic theater tonight
1t is observable in the picture that
the camera has been aDfe to get infin-
itely greater action than the stage
limitations allowed.
Many dramatic episodes forming the
story of THE Gamblers" which could
,only be suggested by a word on the
stage, and left to the imagination of
the audience, are presented in their
fullest detail on the screen. The pic
ture, therefore. will stand as a dem
onstration of the screens superiority
over the stage as medium for the
telling of a complete story
Whereas the factor Of the voice gives
the stage production certain advan-
tage over its competitor, the screen.
the advantage that the latter has in
i latitude of action is by far the greater
advantage.
In the screen version of THE
Gamblers. scenes are presented rang
ing from the bank Office. to the club
house. to the interior and exteriors Of
fine homes. the railroad station and
many other settings 1t would have
required stage several hundred feet
wide and deep to present this situa-
ton.
The Gamblers" tells the story of a
Young man who welded mis- fathers
fortune in battle against "a great
combination of other capitalists The
hero, Wilbur Emerson. played by Mr.
Mercy. induces his father and two
other associates to let him operate
with unlimited power in the strife

Wilbur's deals soon involve the

find themselves gambling with the
funds of the depositors in the elder

ceeded in marrying the woman Wilbur
was to have wed. obtains information
against the Emersons. The prosecu-
