Many Douglas Folks Are Showing
How to Avoid Needless Suffering

There's nothing more annoying than
kidney weakness or inability to prop
erly control the kidney secretions.
Night and day alike, the sufferer is
tormented and what with the burning
and scalding, the attendant backache,
headache and dizziness, life is indeed
a burden. Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys-have brought
peace and comfort to many Douglas
people. Profit by this Douglas resi-
dents experience:
Mrs. L. W. Sandys, 909 18th, st.,
says: when I recovered from an at
tack of measles, my kidneys Were left
in an irregular condition. I had a
dull aching and soreness through my
back and sharp, singing pains often
seized me. I used a box of Doan's
Pills and they did me world of good.
They corrected the weakness of my
kidneys and rid me of the distress
after using Doan's.'' y

speaker stated.
In conclusion he urged that all the
gress work together for the interest
of the state and that by so doing, the
great economic problems will be met
and the tax issue solved economically
rather than politically.
Rex Rice, speaking in behalf of the
Douglas Chamber of Commerce and
Mines, as its president, offered for the
consideration of tho directors some of
the things which he believes Douglas
is fitted to accommodate. He stated
that of course the copper companies
are the greatest asset here but called
attention to the fact that Cochise
county and Douglas have the lowest
tax rates of any county and city in
the state. In 1925 he offered the city
tax rate at Nogales as approximately
Sc with that of Phoenix at approxi-
.mately $44 and that of Douglas only
$3.17.
Labor is plentiful here; Rice re-
marked, while the cattle industry
should beget tanneries and shoe fac
tories III DOuSldS, the COtIOL, .cOCUOu
factories, and the vegetables, canning
factories. The copper camps, he stat
ed, were the great market for these
goods and could consume the output
which such industries would foster

said that the butter and eggs which

X. d. Hellwarth, president of the
Arizona Pima Cotton Growers asso-
citation, briefly mentioned some of the
work of that group and said that
last year it handled 10000 bales of
cotton, an increase of II per cent
over the previous year. 1t may be
necessary to work for a tariff on
long staple cotton, the speaker aver
red, in order to compete with the
Egyptian cotton. Labor is also need
ed for cotton production in his sec
tion, he added
The next address of the dinner was
given by w. j. Black, chairman of
the Mohave County Chamber of Com
merce, who spoke briefly of the
work being done by his organization
and asked that the congress visit
that group in the near future. Boyle,
in concluding the gathering, stated
that he, for one, wanted private cap
ital to develop the Colorado and to
build the dams in the confines of this
state. He warned the diners that
they should not stand by and allow
the federal government to build the
dams which, he asserted, it will do if
Arizona does not develop it's own plan
and get busy.

help put great acres of uncultivated

A round table discussion of repre-
sentatives of all the industries in Ari-

! dition of them all, he vouched, and
stated that the congress has been fos-
tering just that. He offered figures
to show how the farmers have DESERT
ed their farms in many sections of
the country for lack of funds to keep
them going and read from a report
showing that in 1924 the average
farmers income wasdbut $3.50 annually
as compared with the average of the
incomes of those in other industries
which amounted to about $1,400 in
that year. If the Colorado river is

within the past few weeks will re-
port probably within a week on the
actual worl1 to be done and that this
would be followed by the letting of
