You may not know that the
freight on a ton of copper from Chill
to Detroit is less than that on a ton
from Houghton, Michigan. It's a
fact, and in it there's something to
be considered by those interested in
this great copper industry of the
United States. 1t suggests that the
James bill, that asks for a tariff of
six cents a pound on the metal i'm
ported, ought to be passed. To this
end we should be using every legi-
innate means, because it is badly
needed-Ishpeming Iron Ore.

DIR. FAIdLEN WARNS PEOPLE
OF SMALLPOX PERILS

Warning to take every possible pre-
caution to prevent spread of smallpox
in the state was sent to county and
city health officials by DR.. F. T. Fab
len, state superintendent of health.
DIR. Fahlen said that vaccination and
rigid maintenance of quarantines in
each case of the disease reported were
the only effective methods of prevent
ing an epidemic of the malady. He
pointed out that 81 cases Of smallpox
had been reported in Arizona this
year.
His letter to health officers follows:
"There is a prevalence of smallpox
over the state and this letter is to
instruct you that every possible pre-
caution be taken and that the strict
est possible quarantine be placed on
every case, contact or otherwise; con-
facts are to be held in absolute quar-
antine until they are thoroughly
cleansed and disinfected. All contact
should be vaccinated. Please advise
this office Immediately as to any
cases."
The Coconino sun., 1924-05-30

payment of dependents of deceased
veterans of the amount of adjusted
service compensation to which they
should be entitled.
Adjusted service compensation is
figured on the basis of 81 day for
home service and S1.25 day for
overseas service. Also a maximum
Of 500 days would be allowed.
All veterans up to and including the
rank of captain in the army and ma
rine corps and lieutenant in the navy
are eligible for the bonus.
1t is estimated that the average in
surance policy would be valued at
1862 while the maximum value Of the
policies would be about $1,000, for
overseas service and $1,000 for home
service.
The value of the policy would be
the equivalent of the amount which
the adjusted service credit plus 25 per
cent would purchase at regular insur-
ance prices added on four per cent
interest compounded annually. To de-
ternline the latter computation ta-
bic of factors has been compiled by
experts. Multiplication Of the proper
factor by the amount of adjusted SER
vice compensation due the veteran,
plus 25 per cent, would give the face
value Of the insurance certificate.
Each certificate of course, would vary
according to the length of service of
the veteran and his age at the date
of issuance of the policy. The policies
would be dated next January /.
The table of factors. beginning at
tie age of 20 with the factor 2.545
covers each year up to 65 at which
the factor is 1889.
Application for the bonus may be
made at any time before January 1,
1928, but the cash payment will not
be distributed until after March 1.
Loans may be made on the policies
up to 90 per cent of their current
face value any time after two years
from the date of issuance. Thus, on.
a 1000 policy at the end Of two
years a loan of $8793 could be made.
On the same policy at the end Of 19
years a loan of $831.23 would be
possible, The loans may be made at
any national or state bank.
Service between April 5, 1917, and
July I, 1919, may be counted in COM
putting the adjusted service credit, al
though enlistment must have been
made before November IL, 1918.
Application blanks soon will be dis
throughout the country
service organizations and the
The Coconino sun., 1924-05-30

postoffices. Although administration
of the bill will center in the veterans
bureau, the veteran will have to send
his application to the war depart
ment if his service was with the army
and to the navy department, if ser
vice was with the navy or marine
corps. If the veteran served in both
the army and navy the application
should be the department under which
he last served.
Women who served as yeomen in
the navy and marine corps also were
included in the bill as eligible to re-
ceive its benefits.
This stipulates that no one shall be
entitled to its benefits for service as
a civilian officer or for membership
in. the reserve officers training corps
or the students army training corps.

DOUGLAS DISPATCH
BOOSTS HEARD'S
CANDIDACY FOR GOV.

The candidacy of Dwight B. Heard
for the gubernatorial nomination on
the republican ticket is meeting with
unqualified approval among many Of
the republicans Of the state, and in
dications now point to the nomination
of Mr.. Heard.
The Dispatch goes on record as fa-
voring the candidacy of Mr.. Heard
and gives him its whole-hearted ap-
proval as the logical candidate for the
post and from the fact that he has
promised, if elected, to give Arizona
purely business administration,
which, above everything else, is what
the state needs.
Mr.. Heard possesses the first and
last requisites of a successful COVER
nor. He has been a business success
with his own enterprises and he is
not concerned with the emoluments
Of the office. He possesses those
qualities which tend to make q sue
cess of anything their possessor takes
under his wing.
Mr.. Heard has been and is one of
the most progressive men in the state.
He has been prominently identified
with public matters since he first
came to Arizona in 1896. He was a
large factor in working for the con-
struction of the Roosevelt dam and at
that time conducted a fight in favor
of public rather than private owner
ship.
He was chairman Of the committee
nc offfuoY,c IN 1002 rx,I,o Nor
ton waged fight against joint state
hood and won, through the passage
of the Foraker amendment, giving
Arizona the right to separate state
hood.
He was for many years president
of the Arizona Cattle Growers asso-
citation and the Arizona Good Roads
association and also the American
National Livestock association. He
was recently elected director of the
United States chamber Of commerce,
representing the eight inter-moun-
tain states. He is at the present time
president of the Pima Cotton Grow
ers' association, the Roosevelt council
of Boy Scouts and member of the
western advisory board of the Asso-
ciated Press.
He is also actively engaged in farm
ing, livestock production and land de-
velopment.
These are the qualifications of the
man who, in our opinion, should have
the republican nomination for the
governorship.
AS publisher of the largest news
paper in the state he has an insight
into the needs Of the state and its
residents, which, coupled with his sue
cess as a business man, is an incom-
parable combination that cannot help
but achieve results.
Every republican voter in the
state should put his shoulder to the
wheel and work for Mr. Heard both
for the nomination and at the polls
IN November.
There is no question but with Mr..
Heard in the gubernatorial chair, the
state would progress, many projects
hanging fire such as the Colorado
river pact, would be pushed through
to completion, taxes would be reduc-
ed due to a reduction in state ex-
pense, and the affairs of the state
would be in capable hands.-Douglas
Dispatch.

Hurrah for Water Valley township.
We carried Off our share Of Fair prizes.
Merle and Hite Camp were visiting
relatives and friends near Pocahontas
the latter part of the week.
The frost that visited us Monday
night was' not welcomed by some on
account Of the late hay and corn.
n. j. Horsman passed through these
parts with load of nice hogs Mon
day which he was taking to market.
A good many people are passing
through these parts On route to the
bottoms to help gather the cotton crop.
We invite some of our good brothers
who claim that range stock can barely
live to visit our part of the county and
we will show them some real range
stock.
Statistics show that less than one
fourth Of Randolph county is fenced.
OF the other three fourths, we doubt
If one half of IL will ever he fenced,
though We should have stock law.
This would mean that practically
one half of the land would be Of no
service to anyone.
The ones who want to keep up their
stock have the privilege to do 50, or II
they wish they can turn them out.
We believe In n free country and the
more rights and privileges we have
to choose from, the greater our chance
in life.

just returned from Greene county

whose barn joins mine. She had
