West Coolidge
To Vote Thursday
On Soil District


nedy and George Dell
Nominees for Supervisors
of proposed West Coolidge
soil Conservation District
Of great Importance to farmers
of this area is the election and
referendum called for Thursday.
June %, to vote on the proposed
West Coolidge Soil Conservation
district.
Farmers in the proposed district
are organized under the state law
and have circulated petitions ask
ing for the formation of the soil
conservation district. When the
petitions were found to bear suffi-
cient signatures of land owners,
State Soil Conservation Commits
sioner o. C. Williams called an
election for the 28th. At this cleo
ton a referendum vote will deter
mine whether or not to organize
the district and at the same time
qualified farmers will vote on the
election of three supervisors to
serve for two, four and six years
respectively.
George Dell. Howard Holland and
C. X. Kennedy are the nominees
for supervisors.
Included in the West Coolidge
district Is all of the land extending
nine miles west from the Coolidge
Picacho highway. The northern
boundary is the Gila Indian reser-
vation and it is bounded on the
south by the Selma road. All lands
under gravity flow within the area
are excepted from the proposed
district.
The election on the 28th will
take place at the Borree (Ruins)
school between the hours of 10
o'clock in the morning and o'clock
in the evening. Serving on the
election board will be Mrs. w. H.
arms WOILu, mIS. y. n. hCuuCuJ
and Mrs. G. e. Odom.
Land owners who may be forced
to be away on the day of the cleo
tion may sign a proxy, allowing a
neighbor, or friend, to cast their
ballot in the referendum only.
A large vote of farmers in the
proposed district Is absolutely nee
essary if the district Is to be
formed. AS a vote Of less than so
per cent of the land owners invol-
we'd will invalidate the election
OF the votes actually cast next
Thursday, IS per cent nut favo
the formation of the district, or
will not be organized.
The purpose of soil conservation
districts Is to give farmers In areas
involved cooperative power on all
soil and water conservation mat
ters. So important have these dis
tricts proved to be in protecting
farmers interests, that they are
multiplying rapidly in Arizona and
! throughout the west. Soil conser-
walton districts are non-taxable

Approximately 10000 wounded and
sick soldiers were rushed back to
this country last month and Walter
Reed Hospital got its full share of
them.
The nursing shortage is so des-
perate that II ships which normally
carry a complement of nurses for
overseas duty had to sail without
them. In actual numbers, they were
short 913 nurses.
Virtually all the nurses who could
be spared have been shipped, with
the result that at Walter Reed and
most Army general hospitals, one
Army nurse is assigned to 10 pa
tients. Ordinarily they would have
to take care of about half that num-
ber.
Hospital corpsmen who used to
relieve nurses OF some duties on the
