tsy Aloysius coll.l


 C-f heus. Ceres, Terpsfchore anS the Eyes and Adams Of the blow and the hoe will meet in festive mood next Sunday two miles north of the Copper Queen ranch, to eelebarte the fe-jil ty of the Sulphur Springs val ley, to raise funds for school district No. f5. and to pay tribete to Ari- Zona curshine and rain for the bounty of the crops garnered from the gov ernrnent lands during the season wan ing snto winter. Thalia, the Queen ol the Festivals. will preside, and Apollo, the God of Learning, VII be an honor guest. A fat OK will be sac ri6ced and toasted over a Dit of fire, and great throng of disciples of Az r.cola. Hebe. William Howard Taft and Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, from Douglas. Courtland, Wiz ,0X and the whole circle of valley cities will gather to tip the cup and trip the waltz and reel in commerl- ncrat on of the first years combined effort by the government settlers to raise the Sulphur Springs valley to the dignity of farming section.
 The spot selected for the festiv- ities is one of the most fertile belts of the valley, about twelve miles north west Of Douglas, and easily reached 'br good roads, which will be the main mil ltaTy highway out of Douglas next Sunday. Every man that owns an automob ie Is preparing to attend the harvest picnic
 The valley farmers are all feeling good over the success attained in the growing of crops during the past sea ss &t> ffx fall was limited, as compared with that of other seasons. They all prom ise to bring their families to the fes- tival-also the'r daughters. The daughters have summered in the fields, and will bring to the dance fiGor and the ring of blue smoke around the roast OK the tan of cheek and redness of lips that make not for the necessity of the cosmetic viol and the not Of rogue. Incidentally, the young farmers who come in from OK Iahoma, Kansas and Georgia, with a pet COW instead of a wife, have mod estlv let 1t be whisepred about that the daughters of Douglas will be made welcome. particularly those who subscribe to that philosophy of tender womanhood which accepts the cal loUs palm and the blue oyeralls with the same complaisance as the nature lover takes the brown cocoon with he golden butterfly.
 The genus cow-puncher will be in the roundup. In fact, he will be high priest at the skinning of the steer and the roasting thereof. Not that a spitted OK is any bait for him, for the cattle man has not smiled on the neighbor who fenced in a slice of his beef range but where Is the cow boy that can resist the whistle Of the flute or the trail Of a skirt across the mesa.2 DoEn with the rope and up with the br.da'-rein-that is the battle cry. And f Ee will take a hint from me. can assure him that in these days of dwindling riot on the range and romance in the corral he will shine best in his chaps and add dignity to his gait with the click of steel spurs. Like rooster, the cowboy drops into oblivion when he substitutes pin feathers for the saffs, and parlor talk for the lingo of the chuck wagon.
 With the sacrificial offerings made to the roast OK. the golden pumpk ms. the succulent squash, the blushing beet. the stacks Of sorghum and the pot of beans. like the Moquis and their forerInners. the Aztecs and Msyas. the Sulphur Springs valley sulBhurettes and sulphides will also pay tribute to the Dryads. the Nymphs and Narcissus and all the gods and goddesses that preside over the destiny of water and rain. The new well recently completed by Far mer Rabb. is only a short distance from the scene of the Sunday festi val: here an eighteen horse power gasoline engine and a five inch cen trifuzaI pump have beea installed and here will be shown how the gov ernment seed may be made to spToui and grow, blossom and fruit under the benign spell of water from the under world This well is 310 feet deep, aud the water rises to a point within thirty feet of the surface. The new well drilling on the Brophy ranch is also expected 10 come in at any hour, and this also is interesting antici- patton
 This is what the valley farmers say 10 you: Put on your church clothes and come out to join in the celebration. which links a good cause with welcome as hearty as the tiIler of the soil can make it"
