This prediction was made today by Ed. w.. Stephens. secretary of the Arizona Live Stock Sanitary Board, who bases his estimate of the probable damage on gov" ernment statistics and his own observation of conditions last year.
 The Live Stock Sanitary Board has taken upon itself the responsibility of protecting the cattlemen by handling 9 pre- ventative vaccine against black leg known as germ free Aggres- sin. By contracting in whole sale quantities the Board is in a position to distribute it upon application at the exceptionally low cost price of 12 cents per dose. The Board gives assur- ance that this stock is fresh from the laboratories of one of the most reputable wholesale drug concerns, in country and for this reason .cattlemen can feel safe in ordering their SUD- plies through the Board.

Buy Much American Honey
 American honey is becoming increasingly popular in Great Britian. On account of the shortage of sugar the English people have taken readily to it's use, and it now seems prob able thatthe demand will con- tinue even after sugar again becomes plentiful. The clear, strained honey in the glass has the best sale, the preference being for California honeys ac- cording to reports issued by Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agricul- ture. In 1914 the total impor- tations by the United Kingdom were approximately 2,6O0,000 pounds. By 1918 this had in creased to 36,50O,00O pounds, valued at S13,15O,000.
