County Fair a Success

The County Fair, given by the Y.
w. c. A. in the Normal gymnasium

Photograph Gallery, and the Art
Gallery presided oyer by the Misses
Margaret Spencer and Jennie Row
cliff; the District School under the
stern rule of Master" Guy Owen;

bined into one attraction and an ex-
cellent programme of song and reel

lowing this Levi Williams and John
Grimer acted comic mum" de-
bate. The Faculty Quartet made
hit' with two selections, after
which Miss Hong, Miss Sarah Head

the programme. The attendance at
the Fair filled the gymnasium and
the other rooms occupied by the at

"The Mind OF the Mob"

The last scheduled number of the
Peoples Lecture Course was given
at the Methodist church on Friday
evening, DR.. George Edgar Vincent,
of the University of Chicago, de-
livering his popular lecture on crowd
psychology entitled, The Mind of
the Mob" From the time he opened
his address until he spoke the last
word of his lecture, he had the at
tention of every person in the house.
The Doctor speaks with rapidity
and flow of language seldom heard
anywhere on any platform, but with
a distinctness of pronunciation and
a charm of delivery which compelled
his audience to hang on every word
and wait expectant for the next one.
He cleverly outlined his subject and
then went into it with a depth of
knowledge and fund of good
hunor which were both instructive
and entertaining. He made point
and then proved it on the audience
before him, he made a statement
clothed in the language of science
and then illustrated it in such a
manner that his meaning could not
be lost. In short he handled deep
D sociological subject in manner
which was a revelation to all. He
made the dry bones live and awak-
ened a train of thought which ex-
planned if they can be explained the
actions of crowds and mobs when
under the stress of excitement. He
described the actions of the sober
and dignifed bank president wit
Messing ball game; he touched on
the remarkable instances when
under touching appeal thousands
of dollars have been contributed to
foreign missions by people who
never before believed in them; he
spoke of the actions of mob violence
and pointed out instances where
lynchings had occurred in the north
where the explanation of southern
blood" could not be made to apply;
and as a climax he took the political
spell-binder and analysed his meth
DDS and the actions of the crowd
under his oratory in manner
realistic to all who have ever gone
through a heated campaign. On
the whole the lecture was one of the
most satisfactory and one OF the
most instructive which has ever
been heard in our city and the COM
mittee are to be congratulated on
the selection of Doctor Vincent for

Ny Valentine

. Vale ntine, my Valentine,
may not hold your hand in mine
And watch the tremulous eclipse
OF mlrth upon your laughing lips,
Or see the Splendor in Your eyes
Uplifted in their sweet surprise,
When first, with magic glance and spell,
Love storms your young hearts citadel
Never to set you free again
My years are fifty, yours are ten.
For me, alas, The rose of June
Displayed its bud and bloom too soon;
Too soon, to meet the storm and gale
My bark of life unfurled its sail:
TOO soon Hope preferred fruit of gold
Which turned to ashes in my hold;
may not pluck the rare, sweet flower
Your hearG holds for Loves dawning hour:
For me, Times tide turns not again
MY years are fifty, yours are ten.
Yet never was there love more true.
Dear child, than that know for you:
II might shield you from life'S smart,
MY breast should brave each ranking dart:
The fair, sweet promise of your youth
Should blossom into glorious truth;
No shadow from q trust betrayed
Should dim those eyes all unafraid:
Earth should be bright TO you as when
My years are fifty, yours are ten.

 Phoenix Republican: Another installment of Navajo blankets was received at Balke's Big Curio Store yesterday. It included two blan- kets which all who are interested in this species of Indian industry ought to see. They are not to be bought at any price, and the aver age buyer of Navajo blankets would not care to pay such prices as would be charged for them if they were for sale. These blankets were made according to special order. The design was copied by the h. dians from the design of an old ceremonial blanket, the bayetta, which MT. Bake had had for a long time. He sent the blanket back to the reservation for the pur- pose of having these copies made. One is made in colors and the other in white and black. The material is especially hard twisted native wool, so that the blankets are waterproof. These blankets are intended for a wealthy Phila- delphian and will be shipped to him in a few days.

 Mesa Free Press: The receipts for the business done at the local post office during last month show the neat sum of $652.80, or a gain of nearly $200 over the business done during the month of July last year. With a corresponding in- crease for the balance of the year, Mesa is destined to have second class office at no distant date. The months of July and August are considerably the dullest months of the year.
 Holbrook Argus: The famous snake dance of the Moki Indians, the most interesting and the wierd- est ceremonial of the southwestern tribes will take place according to information just received from the Indians on Wednesday, August IS, or possibly a day before or after that date. The formal announce ment will be made on the second or third of August. The indica-  tiOns are that the number of visit Ors at Walpi, the pueblo where the dance is to take place, will be greater this year than ever before.
 Mesa Free Press: Edwin Le Baron of the Arizona Land Co.,, who left recently for the National Guard team practice at Ft.

As the scores made so far have only been at practice work, the Arizona team feels confident that they will make a good show ing at the national meet soon to be held at Camp Perry.
 Phoenix Republicans; Frank Baldwin threshed out fine crop Of seed yesterday, patch of thirty tive acres netting 12,000 pounds. At the prevailing price, it can be easily figured that this is mighty good profit alone on the acre, but In addition to this is should be re- collected that one good crop of hay has already been cut and the field IS good for another crop of hay or feed. While Mir. Baldwin makes a speciality of oranges, his success in the seed business leads him to 'hink that there is something be- sides oranges that can be grown at profit.
