THREE DAYS FAIR
OPENS At WILCOX
Notable Exhibition of Candidates And
Dry Farming Products.

Today is the opening day of the first
big dry-farming fair, to be held in
Wilcox Cochise county, and To last
during the remainder of the week. 1t
is not county fair. but rather is de
signed To show what can be done i'm
the dry farming section that surrounds
Wilcox, and in the big sulphur Spring
and other valleys of that county.
The project is one that many will
be interested in. for dry farming will
play an important part in the future
of agriculture in Arizona. no doubt.
1t is understood though that the ex-
position will be patterned after the
lines of a county fair and that much
has been done for the entertainment
of the people as well as for their edu-
cation in dry farming. There will be
some good horse races by local stock
and doubtless the social whirl in Will
cox will be a dizzy one this week.
But the biggest display expected.

tention. than the dry farm products.
will be the exhibition OF democratic
candidates. 1t is stated by one who
has talked with many Of them and
knows their plans, that among the en-
tries are Mark Smith, Henry +. Ash
urst and Reese NJ. Ling, candidates for
the senate, Geo. W. p. Hunt and Thos
F. Weedin, candidates for governor,
and George Purdy Billiard, candidate
for attorney general. These are ex-
pected TO be present for a certainty
and there are many more who will like
ly be there, including most OF the as
pirants for county offices in COchise.

Daggs is going to have the men of

wish is that some one would do as
much for them.
