100 MANY COMMISSIONS.

The state is overtaxed because it is
over commissioned and over inspected.
To bear out this claim we cite: Eight
different state inspectors registered at
Spring Green in one day. At Mondovi
six of eight bus passengers on one trip
were state inspectors At Green Bay
forty inspectors stopped at one hotel in
day
At present it takes eight inspectors
to inspect one hotel There are 375 po-
tato inspectors, and the commissions
and boards have outgrown the capitol.
All commissions and boards should
not be abolished, for some are render
ing real service. They should be com.
bined to cut out duplication, and low

FIRST LOVE.

II want to sing something romantic
and sweet
About you and me; but the things in
my mind
That link you most clearly with past
dear delights
Are all most unromantic, find.
Your name, which no doubt shoul head
each tender verse,
Is lacking because in the mists it is
hid;
You may have been Jim, Dick, or Bill,
know this
That | always addressed you as
"Kid.
want to rave on Of old sweethearts,
young love,
And memories tender and memories
sad;
Yet strangely distinct in my mind is the
way
You said Damn, when the engine
went bad
The way that you smiled and the sweet
things you said,
From me by the years in between
have been snatched;
But at least | remember quite plainly
this thing
That your socks and your tie always
matched
want to sing something romantic and
sweet
About you and all remember is this:
That you were nice hoy and you had
a big car
And My GoIy the way you could
kiss.

No far-seeing politician of five years
ago would have predicted that the big
gest fight in this country on the wet
and dry question would take place in
Wisconsin. But we are in it and at it.
From The Tribunes way Of thinking, it
is a senseless aspect, as federal con
stitutional law cannot be toppled by an
action of our state. Mr.. Blaine, for
reasons best know to himself, is being
supported by the vets, while MIR.
Morgan, the other aspirant for the
governorship, must necessarily depend
on the dry vote for success.

TIMOTHY JONES
 DIES SUDDENLY

Timothy Jones, an old and re- spected citizen of the Virden settle ment, passed away suddenly at about o'clock on Tuesday morning, heart failure being the cause of his demise.
 MT. Jones was about 75 years of age at the time of his death. He came to this valley few years ago, having been one of the many Nor mons who were driven away from the colonies in Chihuahua, Mexico. He was located at Colonia Dublan for many years.
 Besides his widow, those left to mourn his loss, are the following children: John, Willard. Vernon, Le land and Earl Jones, Mrs. Sarah Payne and Misses May and Kasy Jones, all of Virden. Funeral services were held over the remains on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, interment taking place in the Virden cemetery.

COMMUNITY COOPERATION
 ERADIcATES GRASSHOPPERS

One of the finest examples of community spirit and cooperation ia combating a grasshopper outbreak. which threatened to become a men ace to the alfalfa seed crop, was ex- hibited by the citizens of Yuma county during the early part of the month. Funds for the purchase of materials for the erad:Eation nur poses were graciously furnished by the Yuma County Board of Supervis- ors, while the labor necessary for the application of the poison was donated by members of the Upper Yuma Valley Farm Bureau. The work was under the supervision of MT. F. E. Food Assistant Entomolo gist for the Arizona Commission of Agriculture and Horticulture.
 About 1000 acres were poisoned by the use of poison bran mash. This was made in the usual way, except oil, while the rest was favored with lemons. No appreciable difference in the kill was observed from either 1 flavor, but the anise oil retained the odor longer. About two tons oi poison mash were used with varyine results. due no doubt to the thorough l ness of the mixing. In some fields 2 1 kill of 70 to 100 to the square yart

TOURIST. TRAVEL IS BOOST F0R DUNCAN

Automobile travel through Duncan shows considerable increase over former years, each day seeing quite a number of cars from all over the country bound to or from the Pacific coast. while large number are bound from the east to Arizona points,
 Most of the tourists interviewed are delighted with the roads of Greenlee county, and equally en- thusiastic in their criticism of the poor condition of the highways out side the county, especially the road between Lordsburg and Duncan, COW trail and a freshly plowed field. Nothing has been done on the Lords burg road to Duncan in recent years, ill fact one must interview an old timer to ascertain the time when work on the road was last done.
 Speaking of roads, Hidalgo county has been doing a little road work in this vicinity. The road from Duncan to Virden has been repaired at soma points, but considerable work is still to be done to bring the road to even fair condition. Hidalgo owes it tC it's taxpayers in the Virden locallt! to do more road work up the river and it is to be hoped that additiona
 repairs will be made at an early date

WILL SHIP TWO CARS |OF HOGS AUGUST 15

Duncan valley farmers are arrang- ing to ship two carloads of hogs to Fl Paso on August 18th. The cars will be made up by a number of farm CTS. including B. A. Wilson, Silas Bradshaw, Sam Tilley, Jesse E. Simms and Robert Johns.
 Hog raising is receiving an impe- tus in the valley and it is very like ly that carload shipments will be very common in the near future. Farmers who are devoting attention to the raising of hogs for market are becoming more numerous as time passes and car lot shipments of porkers will be so many in the future as not to excite comment.

DAIRY SPECIALIST ON
 VISIT ID VALLEY

Prof. R. N. Davis, extension dairy Arizona, spent three days August 3, 4, and 5, in the Duncan valley. conducting control measures for the eradication of contageous mamitis ill dairy COWS. Many complaints have been received by the county agricui- tural agent from time to timec in re- gard to this udder infection, and il was with the idea of formulating plans for the complete control of this infectious disease that Prof, Davis was called into the county. Where ever necessary the bacterial treat ment was given, whfcn consists of the injection of bacterins under the animals skin. Five treatments in all are necessary to complete the cure, the subsequent treatment being giv- en by the county agricultural agent. On Thursday evening 120 Green lee county farmers and farmers wives visited the farm of George A. Lunt Uunt's Jersey dairy) for the purpose of witnessing an ice cream demonstration conducted by Prof. Davis. Under the gleam of fuli moon Proof. Davis served the ladies l, with some of the ice cream which he had just made, after which he talked to the men in regard to the present dairy and creamery projects Among
 the topics of discussion were feeding care and management of dairy stock
 dairy records, normal returns to be expected from the dairy COW, the ad connection with other forms O. agriculture, such as hog raising, ant
 last, but not least, what a creamer!
 will mean to the farmers of the Dun | can valley.
 Plans for creamery have nov been received, and Prof. Davis spen and making changes which he deem ed advisable in order that a first
 class product would be manufacture in Greenlee county for Greenle county patrons. Some of the ad
 vantages which the farmer would re ceive through local creamery wer | enumerated as follows:
 l A steady monthly income for tn
 farmer.
 | Utilization of poor grades of ha
 and other feeds on the farm. II Retaining on the farm all the soi | fertility produced thereon.
