HOOP AND MOUTH DISEASE
SOMETIMES HITS HUMANS;
BUT 1T is SELDOM FATAL

"Hoof and mouth disease says
Frank Chisholm, county farm agent,
s'is an acute, highly communicable
disease chiefly confined to cloven-
footed animals and characterized by
an eruption of the vesicler or blisters
of the mucous membrane of the
mouth. This will be first observed by
heavy frothing at the mouth. The
skin between the toes and above the
hoofs. will be also afflicted by these
blisters. There is also salvation and
tenderness of the affected parts, loss
of appetite, emaciation and diminua-
tion of the quality of milk secreted.
while this is regarded as essen
tally disease of cattle, hogs would
seem to be as easy a prey as also
are sheep and goats. It is also a bit
and sometimes will
flirt with horses, dogs, cats and even
poultry. Once in a while merely to
prove that it is impartial it will en-
brace man, who may be infected by
coming in direct contact with the dis
ease.
1.-THE mortality of livestock is COM
paratively low, although the ravages
of the disease make useless the ami
mails afflicted"

SWATTERS VICTORIOUS IN
TIE CONTEST BY FIFTY PINS.

Tom McCullough's Spark Plugs
went down to honorable defeat at the
hands of Bill Katus' Swatters at the
Lame Duck Bowling alleys Tuesday
night. 1t was a tie match, each team
having one win to its credit. As a re-
suit the boys fought hard and it was
decidedly the most interesting and
most closely contested game yet
staged.
The breaks were in favor Of the
Swatters, the Spark Plugs shooting
well but getting a lot of undeserved
splits which largely contributed to
their defeat. Evers of the Sparldes
was the chief offender along this line.
He made a number of beautiful hits
but luck was against him and a num-
ber of undeserved splits resulted
which very materially cut down his
score. Vic Hacha, lead-off man of
the Sparkies, also played in hard luck
in the first halves of his games, but
he made wild finishes in the second
halves which boosted his score to
such an extent that he copped high
score and high average for his team.
Captain Tom of the Sparkies started
off like house afire, but his jinx
took hand in his last two games
and made them look sick.
Bill Conley of the Swatters got off
to beautiful start in his first two
games, rolling III and 181 respec-
lively, but something happened to Bill
in his third game for the fell down
woefully and enly corralled the
meagre sum of SO.

JUNIOR CHAMBER GETTING
OVENS IN CAMP GROUNDS;
PUTTING OUT NEW BOOKS

Flagstaff Junior Chamber of Com
merce met Wednesday night with
nearly all members present. They
adopted and sent to Washington a
resolution requesting that the money
appropriated for the Flagstaff f-Angell
road work might not be transferred
to the northern part of the state
where it would be of little benefit to
Arizona.
1t was decided to place brick ovens
in the auto park here for free use
Of tourists. The Knoles brothers
have headed the gang and promise to
erect one by themselves. When these
are installed a great step will have
been accomplished, one which will be
of untold value not alone to the tour
lists but also to Flagstaff. For the
tourist will pass the word along that
Flagstaff, at least, has excellent ac-
commodations for their clan.
The line from Needles to Springer
vile is to be eanvasSed by a. man
sent out by the chamber to get coop
GRAFTON, financial and moral, of every
town for the placing of man at So
corro to give free information on road
conditions over the Old Trails high
way, that tourists may not be divert
ed to the southern route by false in
formation so freely given out by rep
resentatives Of Phoenix and Tucson.
The publicity committee announced
that the booklets, so long heralded,
are to be ready at the next meeting.
Ten thousand are to be printed as a
starter. Citizens of Flagstaff are to
be requested to send out these book
lets to at least two of their out-of-
town friends. They will be beautiful
ly illustrated.
1t was announced that the Junior
Chamber of Commerce had raised
Flagstaff's allotment of at least 25
memberships for the U. S. Good
Roads association. This association,
as before stated, has as its objective,
the maintenance of federal aid on
road work.

ALL CALIFORNIA MOTOR
TRAFFIC STOPS TODAY

All motor vehicle traffic, east
bound from the state of California,
will be stopped and turned back at
the Arizona line beginning at 6
o'clock on the morning of April Il.
From that hour on every road into
Arizona from California will be clos
ed to automobiles. This stringent
ruling was made by Governor Hunt in
a proclamation late Tuesday afternoon
in response to an urgent request
made by livestock, agricultural,
banking and business interests of the
state, leading the fight against in
vasion of this state by the foot and
mouth disease epidemic.
Cars entering the state up to this
morning at 6 o'clock were subject to
fumigation and all contents that
might possibly carry the foot and
mouth disease germ were destroyed.
Recommending that Governor Hunt
declare martial law and call out the
Arizona National Guard to repel the
threatened invasion of the foot and
mouth disease. from California into
Arizona and urging orders to require
that all persons entering this state
from California be disinfected, the
special cmmittee appointed at mass
meeting of agricultural and business
interests in Phoenix Monday sought
further restrictions in the states
quarantine law against California.
The resolution asking for the dec
laration of martial law was presented
to the governor Tuesday morning at a
conference called by the executive to
consider further steps that might be
taken by state officials to prevent
spread of the disease.
That the declaration of martial law
is unnecessary was the opinion of the
governor. Martial law" he declar-
ed, means the suspension of civil
law throughout the state. The situa-
ton does not require such steps, but
if the use of the state militia is need
ed at the border | believe l can fur
nish guardsmen without declaring
martial law"
The resolution was presented to the
governor by F. A. Reid, president of
the Salt River Valley Water Users
association and member of the spec
ial committee

FLAGSTAFF GLAD TO GET
LOANED MAYOR BACK

T. e. Pulliam and family left yes
terday for Flagstaff, their home,
where they will remain permanently,
Mr.. Pulliam having resigned his po-
sition as superintendent of the indus
trial school at Fort Grant. Mr.. Pull
liam assumed the position last fall,
filling it temporarily, when the super
intendent resigned, it being difficult
to secure a competent and experienced
person to take charge of it. Mr.. Pull
liam feels that he cannot spend more
time at Fort Grant, but must return
to Flagstaff and attend to his busi-
ness, which is suffering because of
his absence. He is also bidding fare
we'll to public life. He has held a
number of public positions at Flag
staff during his residence there for
thirty or more years and this is the
second time he has filled the posi-
ton as superintendent of the indus
trial school. This community re-
grets to see Mr.. Pulliam leave be-
cause his work at the industrial
school has been efficient and salts
factory He has made many friends
here and everyone holds him and his
estimable family in high esteem. He
also appreciates the support he has
received from the people of this To-
cality in his work at the school. We
wish Mr.. Pulliam and his family
health and prosperity in the future.
We also know that the people of
Flagstaff will give warm welcome
to one of their oldest and most re-
spected citizens, and will be pleased
to have him henceforth among them
permanently.-Willcox Range News.

FORT VALLEY" BECOMES
"SOUTHWESTERN FOREST
EXPERIMENT STATIC N"

The first of the original forest ex-
pertinent institutions has been given
new name. In the announcement
letter the Washington office says:
1--WE appreciate that the change in
name will mean a distinct loss to the
historical associations connected with
the Fort Valley station because of its
long life in the forest service and be-
ing the first of the forest experiment
stations established. The name, how
ever, is entirely local and the idea Of
the regional name to show the dis
tribution of our activities throughout
the entire southwest is an important
one" The change is effective inlme-
diately.

MARCH SHOWS BIG INCREASE

The department of the interior an
nounces that travel figures for Grand
Canyon national park for March,

and the total visitors to date show
an increase of 27 per cent over cor
responding periods for previous years.
Seventeen states and Canada were
represented by 119 autos which
transported 329 visitors to the Park.
But for the fact that melting snow

been greatly increased.
Present indications are that both
approach roads will be in good condi-
