The Best Cough Medicine

When a druggist finds that his
customers all speak we'll of a cer-
tain preparation, he forms a good
opinion of it and when in need of
such a medicine is almost certain
to use it himself and in his family.
This is why so many druggists use
and recommend Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. ]. B. Jones, a
we'll known druggist of Cubrlin,
KY, says, Il have used Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy in my family
for the past seven years, and have
found it to be the best cough med
icine 1 have ever known. " Sold

SOLDIERS ENTERTAINED
AT ST. DAVID

St. David was the scene of a
grand celebration Friday, Jan. %,
given in honor of the eleven re-
turned soldiers of the community.
The festivities began at 1890 with
an interesting entertainment un-
der the auspices of the High School.
An opening address by Frank Bill
lingsly, music by the High School
under the supervision of Miss
Burroughs, St. David male quar-
tette, a reading by Miss Stella Ba-
ker, various members of the lower
grades, and talks by several of the
boys themselves made up the pro-
gramme, which was thoroughly en-
joyed by all.
Following these veritable feast
was served by the ladies of the Re-
lief Society and the Domestic Serv-
ice Department, in the L. D. S.
Hall. The task involved in prepar-
alton of this bountesus banquet.
which accommodated more than
800 people, was gigantic, and those
in charge deserve much credit in its
splendidly successful accomplish
ment.
In the afternoon two basketball
games were played which afford
ed much interest and amusement.
The games, the S.D.H.S. boys
team VS. men teachers team, and
tie SD HIS. girls team VS. team
composed of lady teachers and so
forth" were played as per sched-
ule, the High School teams win
ming in both instances.
The days festivities were con-
c1uded by a dance at the High
School building Friday n e h t,
which was we'll attended.
Many members of the communi-
ty have expressed themselves as
very grateful to both Domestic Ser
vice and the Relief Society, whose
combined efforts in providing the
MONDAY feast did much toward
making the day one which will be
long remembered.
The soldier boys who were able
to be present were: William Good
man, (who returned only a few
days ago), Alma Goodman, Jim
Miller, Lloyd Miller, Lloyd Laxon
J. w. Wright, Charley Plum, and
Jack Crews. St. David is indeed
fortunate in the fact that of the
eleven boys who were called to the
Service eleven came back.

Is 1t Loco?
Tucson Ariz. Jan. 20, 1920
Mr.. J Leroy Lancaster,
| misplaced your letter and
address and have just found it, l
am enclosing a brief statement of
the Loco weed which you may
wish to use III your paper. The
only point that I should make with
regard to this loco is that it is loco
and will poison stock when left on
it. There is only one thing to do
and that is to get the animals off of
the infested areas. Something
should be done in the future to
curb its spread. | believe the arti-
Gle takes up this in a fairly simple
way so that people can understand
it.
yours very sincerely,
R. H. Williams
Animal Husbandman
Widely scattered over southern
Arizona loco has been causing
large number of deaths among cat
tie. Santa Cruz and Cochise coun-
ties are particularly infected with
the loco, There are various varie-
ties of Loco, but one can easily
identify the weed for it is about
the only large green spreading
plant found on desert. In gener-
al way it resembles alfalfa. The
plant grows in a small tuft from
large tap root. The leaves are
on opposite sides of the branches
in pairs. Most of them grow from
six to ten inches high. The leaves
are covered with small hairs. The
younger ones are narrow and point
ed while the older leaves are more
rounded.
The animals show very little
signs of poison until they consume
upwards of 800 pounds of loco.
Apparently the best bred stock
seem the most susceptible to the
disease. The stock that has been
maintained in pastures or lots soon
become attracted to the loco and
begin eating it. After few days,
perhaps not more than two weeks,
they begin to froth at the mouth,
have peculiar grunting cough
and are short of breath. Cows will
frequently abort and grow thin.
They soon become weak and walk
with a stiff unsteady stride. If
driven very far they will fall in a
peculiar manner. The hind quar-
ters seem ito be paralyzed, for the
poisoned animals drop down in the
loins, and the hind legs stiffen out
behind them.
The only way to avoid losses
from loco poison is to keep the
stock from infested areas. Cattle
men are in no position to face hea-
wy losses of animals. It would be
better to take stock off the ranges
where loco is prevalent and rent
pastures for them, or else feed
hay and cake. The stock should
be watched closely, and as soon as
they show signs of poison they
mu st be gathered and placed where
there is no danger of loco. Stock
men cannot afford to pay ten per
cent for money to buy cattle and
lose them or the calf crop.
Locoed animals do not respond
we'll to treatment. Losses may be
reduced however by feeding stock
we'll and often these animals can
be sold at a profit. 1t is best to
dircard them because the poison
seems to remain over in the animal
from year to year, and when beast
eats about 800 pounds of the weed
it will die. Thus if COW eats 500
pounds this year and 200 pounds
next year, the third or fourth year

Wise Sayings

One pound Of put-your
shoutder-to- his wheel does
more good for Your neighbor
than does a mile of prayer.
To be good and great a per-
son need not be popular.
Place no reliance on the love
of woman whose great desire
is property, or on the love of a
man who loves only physical
beauty.
The memory of a truthful
friend is better than the COM
partnership Of the thoughtless
or selfish.
How many there are who
would be unhappy if they could
not find something to be miser-
able about.
Fools sneer and wise men in
vestigate.
Pity the woman who consid-
ers a day lost that she cannot
hear or say something I'll of her
neighbors.

The eight hour basic day es-
tablished by President Wilson
has sent wages up like a sky
rocket; and, where wages have
gone up fifty per cent, the cost
of commodities has been raised
one hundred per cent. The
immense industrial activity has
taken people from the farms so
that agriculture is neglected.
Farmers are selling their cows
and are reducing production fiji
ty per cent because they can't
buy anything with it.
We are up against an acute
shortage of food products. The
cost thereof is futher increased
because Of heavy freigh rates.
You can't eat money. Stop
raising food, and everyone will
starve regardless of money. If
something isn't done to cor
rect this evil, butter will be one
dollar pound, flour thirty dol
lars per barrel, and shoes thir-
ty pair. The price of fuel
will be prohibitive. You will
freeze and starve at the same
time.

hercuIean Labor Of Soldier Doo-

By JOHN q. HoLME,
Of 1.-THE Life Of Leonard Wood"

~.
When Leonard Wood, now Briga-
der General Of Volunteers, assumed
charge Of Santiago about one-third Of
the city's $1,000 inhabitants were sick
and the whole population was threat
ened with starvation, for the city's
food supplies had been cut off during
the siege. The whole municipal gov
eminent had broken down. Riding
into the city which he was to govern
so wisely and successfully, Wood en-
countered bodies of human beings and
animals along the highway and in the
streets, while overhead scared great
flocks of buZzards, carrion eaters. The
atmosphere was poisoned with MAS
ma of fever and the stencil Of decaying
bodies.
Within the city, one of the worst
plague spots on the face of the earth,
malaria, smallpox, typhoid and yellow
fever ragged. The only sewers were
open cutters, damned here and there
by dead bodies and refuse. The streets
looked as if they had never been
cleaned Never had He.pules himself
essayed worse cleaning job than that
which lay before the American soldier.
doctor.
Cleaning the city and making 1t fiji
place for human habitation were the
first tasks to be taken up. General
Wood recruited large force of idle
Cuban soldiers and set them to work
collecting the bodies Of men and ami
mails and cleaning the streets. The
natives, who went to work under com
pulsion, continued willingly when they
found themselves paid regularly in
cash and rations.
