THE FAIR $ FOR
 ALL ARIZONA
It Will Pay Outside Counties to Re.
 member That.

Some of the Arizona counties are overlooking their own interests in not giving a little more attention to the territorial fair for it should be well understood by this time that the fair is not merely a Phoenix show, but an all-AriZona enterprise. Particular rel erence is here made to the boards of supervisors who have been asked to name a county commissioner for each of their counties, respectively. Six of of the counties have named their coun- ty superintendents, but the other sev- en have not, or at least if they have, the names of the appointees have not been reported to Superintendent Clark.
 This is something that ought to be attended to for there is no expense at tached to it, and the counties will sure ly derive great benefit from such ac- tion. The principal part of the work the commissioners have to do is to talk fair and rustic. A superintendent has been appointed for every department of the exhibits, and it is his or her bus ness to conduct all necessary core spondence, either personally or through subOrdinates, in getting the exhibits here and seeing that they are properly placed. But the work of the commis- sioner is to See that his county is re- presented, and represented well. Not only in respect of mines, Or of cattle, or of race horses, but of pumpkins, household exhibits, curios, novelties and all industries, any and everything in fact that it occurs to any one would make an interesting exhibit. The com missioner should talk fair on every ap- prOpriate occasion, and whenever or wherever he sees anything that appeals to him as worthy of exhibition, he should do all he can to urge the own CTS to send it along. This requires no particular outlay, except, perhaps, a little time and effort and the commis- sioner can work just as much or as little as he sees fit, but the more the better, and just a little work will be better than no commissioner and no work, while the man that gets real busy can make a showing for his county that will eventually be of great value to it in dollars and cents, even though no exact estimate may ever be made of his work. It's a fine job for public spirited men.
 The six counties who have already acted on the suggestion of the fair su- perintendent, together with the com missioners appointed, are: Gila, C. E. Taylor; Graham, Luther Green; Mar icopa; J. R. Norton, northside; A. J. Peters, southside; Navajo, W. II. Bur bage, Pima; w. M. Breckenridge; Pi- nal, w. B. Twitchell. It is understood that all these men are getting real busy, and all promise to have their counties -cTeditably represented. The other counties may do as well if they try for it is not yet too late, and there is no county in Arizona that cannot make good showing, if the proper effort is put forth. There is no depart ment of the fair that should not con tain something from every county. though certain counties are stronger in some lines than others. But there is going to be a big crowd ot the fair. and they will not all be Arizona peo- pie, either. It will be a fine place to advertise. Furthermore, the back counties are prone to be jealous of Phoenix, because she has more trans lent people, and spends more time and money setting forth her immediate re- sources. This is the opportunity of the back county to demonstrate that there IS a whole lot of Arizona beside the Salt River valley, and the valley urges the back counties to put their best to the fore
