she said, we drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and it
is such a comfort to have something
we can enjoy drinking with the chill

81 was astonished that she would
allow the children to drink any kind
OF coffee, but she said Postum was
the most healthful drink in the world
for children as we'll as for older ones,
and that the condition of both the
children and adults showed that to be
a fact.

INTEREST GROWS IN CONTEST
CARNIVAL QUEENS WILL RE-

SOCIETIES IN CITY.

test for queen of the harvest carnl-
val has been resumed with renewed
vigor The ladies of the city now have
charge of the contests and it is NOV
ing with a zest which thoroughly pleas
es Manager Bernard.
Seventeen young ladies are now con-
testing for the honor of ruling the har-
vest carnival The old contestants have
had their vote multiplied by five and
the new contestants are forging well to
the front. That the contest is to be a
lively one is evident from the way the
ladies of the city are taking an interest
in it and more young ladies have eX-
pressed their willingness to enter the
contest
The first place is still claimed by
Miss Frances Griffin, who led at the
close of the first contest. While Miss
Griffin has an apparently discourag-
ing lead, yet the friends of the. other
contestants are determined she shall
not keep it.
Votes are on sale at the principal
business houses in the city for one cent
each. AS yet no great revenue has ac-
crued from the sale of votes but the
contest will get livelier each day as it
approaches the final count. Many Sc
cret societies and lodges in town are
to back their special favorites in order
to have the honor come to their lodge
or its utilization. In this way there
will be much rivalry.
Several such lodges are ready to en-
ter their candidate and will start off
with a big initial vote.

Unusual interest exists at pres ent at the Fair grounds in the different departments. Many have been employed to clean up and get in readiness the grounds and buildings. The grounds pre- sent the appearance of a small city-life and energy being evi- dent in every direction.
 There are now quartered in the various live stock departments hundreds of animals from differ ent parts of the territory and many imported from other states for exhibition purposes and to contestin the award of tpremiums.
 Horses of every description have been assi gned to their stalls ranging from the largest Perch eron and Shires to the smallest of Shetlands. In the racing de- partment hundreds are now here exercising on the track and have listed among them the most not ed of horses. Dan Patch, the greatest of all pacers, and Cres- ceus, king of trotters, accompan- jed by their running pace makers are occupying theiv stalls. Other horses that might be mentioned, to show the class of harness hor- ses that are entered, are Argot Boy, one of DeRyder's fast pa cers, and Kinney Lou, the fast trotting stallion belonging to Budd Doble. These and many other fast horses are now taking their daily workouts. A list of high class horses could be men tioned, if space permitted, which would include large number of the greatest horses known.
 Many interesting exhibits have been made in the agricultural, mineral, wOman's S and education- al departments. Amusements and attractions have been pro- vided by the commission for those who attend, that their time may be agreeably occupied.
 The Fair management is using their utmost endeavor to provide ntertainment and accommoda- tons for all who attend. For those who prefer not to secure apartments at hotels, arrange ments have been made with the Board of Trade whereby they can procure rooms in private families.
 Rates have been made by the different railroads of the terri tory to and from the Fair that are the lowest ever known.

dOlDrOOk, AFlZOnd.
 Dear Sir
 Unusual interest exists in va riOus parts of the territory in re- gard to the Third Annual Terri torial Fair which is to occur in Phoenix November 11th to 16th.
 Many letters are received at the office sometimes amounting up Tn the hundreds and making all kinds of inquiries and often offering suggestions that are de- cidedly beneficial, but all contain the sentiment of cooperation that is so essential to make any public enterprise a success.
 The writers seemingly under stand without further explana- tion that it Is their Fair, and so it Is, 1t belongs as much to one citizen of the territory as to an- other and belongs to us all indi- vidually and collectively.
 We can feel proud of our achievements in the past and though satisfactory will be en- abled by experience so obtained to accomplish even greater sue cess.
 No industry that is beneficial to our productions has been overlooked The dairy interests have been given the full attention to which they are entitled As a matter of illustration of showing how little we known of our re- sources-how many of the resi- dents of our Territory know that we manufacture the Lily Cream? Yet such is the case and an ad- vertising exhibit will be given by them consisting of a trained Jer- sey COW harnessed to a wagon and driven about the grounds.
 Cows being milked by machin- cry is another interesting ature that may be seen at the Fair in connection with the dairy de-

partment.
 That all may be entertained who attend the Fair, many forms of amusement will be provided, the most important being the harness and running races. There are HOW stabled on the grounds in excess of one hundred horses which are entered in the race events, and there are enough other horses entered which are yet to arrive to swell the number above two hundred. This IS to be the largest race meet held this year west of the Mississippi. It will be productive of exception ally fast time and close finishes In one event, in addition to oth- CTS, there are five horses entered that have been racing in the grand circuit this season. There are many of those entered here that have made good records in the grand circuit this year and all who come to the Fair will see the fastest and best horses shown anywhere.
 Arrangements have been made this year to have the streets at the Fair grounds spr1nkled so that there will not be the usual amount of dust Do not miss taking in the greatest Fair ever held in the southwest.
 The great horse Dan Patch will be driven an exhibition mile at the Territorial Fair on the opening day, Monday November 11th, 1907.
 Dan Patch is the most noted horse alive today, holding the worlds record in harness racing and in exhibitions has a record of 1:55.
 The eastern tracks have not been favorable for fast time this season by reason of almost con- stant rains, and MT. Savage, the owner of this wonderful horse, knowing ot this excellent track and favorable climatic condi- tions, has agreed to bring him here for less than is usually charged for exhibitions in tbe east.
 The trial here will be the su- preme effort of this grand horse for the year. He IS be1ng brought here, not that he may give an ex- hibition, but that he may, if pos sible, break all previous records. This is the last opportunity that he will have this season and all can feel confident that the utt- most endeavor will be made to surpass all previous perform anceS.
