Horse racing, broncho busting,
foot races, rabbit chases, baseball,
agricultural and mineral exhibits
and a grand military tournament Of
u. S. soldiers will be leading fea-
lures of the fair. A dance will also
be given each evening.

DISCARD GREEN FLAGS

The green flags, one at each side
of the rear end of the last passenger
coach on a train, have served their
use on the Southern Pacific and the
Hartman roads, and will no longer
be seen on any passenger trains on
these lines. The first Of August saw
the last of the green flags and all of
the Southern Pacific trains are now
running with lamp markers in place
of the flags.
Green flags have been used for
many years on the rear of trains to
designate the trains in the opposite
direction and to the engineer of the
train displaying the flag markers,
that the train was intact. This was
necessary in the days when all of
the cars in trains were not equipped
with automatic air brakes. Some
times, when the link and pin
couplings were in use, pin would
break and the car would be left be-
hind. There was no way for the
engineer to tell whether or not he
had all of his cars with him unless
he could look out of his cab and see
the green flag waving from the last
coach. All of the cars of the South
ern Pacific Company are now
equipped with the automatic air
brakes, which, if a car should be-
come detached, stops the train
automatically.
The lamps that are being used as
markers in place of the green flag
suffice during the day as well as at
night. During the passage of a
train through tunnel, snowsheds,
or during foggy weather, they can
be easily lighted, but for the major
portion of the day trips they
remain unlighted. They can be dis
tinguished by the engineer with
ease and have already been found a
great improvement over the old flag
system. Some few roads in the
east have discontinued the use of
green flags as markers on some of
their suburban lines, but the South
ern Pacific Company is the first road
to do so over its entire system.

Hay Fever

The time of the year approaches
when many proud and naughty in
dividuals will lord it over their
friends and relatives.
The proud and naughty ones are
hay feverites,
Hay fever is the most aggravated
form of class distinction in America.
1t is argued that like causes pro-
duce like effects. 1.-two men should
sit down by a railway and allow their
legs to rest upon the track and a
train came along, the natural as
sumption would be that they would
lose their legs. That would be a
certainty. However. if the train
rolled over the men and cut off the
legs of one while it did not harm
the other, that would be hay fever.
The rain falls upon the just and
unjust, but the rain is not hay few
err
Two women shall be grinding at
the mill. one will have hay fever and
the other will not. Getting hay
fever is as incomprehensible to the
un-hay-fevered mind as it would be
for half dozen folks to hold their
heads under water and only one of
them be drowned.
A thousand persons will inhale the
pollen of the golden-rod, the rag
weed, or whatever the theory is
and but one of them will be dis
tinguished by the sneezified aura of
hay fever.

NEW FAIR COMMISSIONERS

AS a result of the meeting of the
board of supervisors, held here Sat
urday evening, fair commission,
appointed by the board will take
full charge of the county fair this
year. This is good. Nothing bet
ter could happen than to have the
county fair under the supervision OF
the peoples representatives, the
board of supervisors.
We are all interested in our beau
tiful valley, its delightful climate
and its productive soil. We realize
the great possibilities of the future
when expert farming will bring
about such development that will
place the ella valley in the lead in
the farming industry of Arizona.
We know that the county fair is
one of the best means to advertise
our valley and educate our farmers,
and we further realize that the sue
cess of the county fair depends
wholly on the support of our peo-
pie, in whose interest it is held.
This year we will hold our third
annual fair. The program that is
being arranged will embrace ex-
hibitions of the latest farming i'm
plements as we'll as dairy and other
agricultural exhibits. In the other
departments will be included horse
and cattle shows, which will bring
out the great improvements in the
breeding of horses and cattle. fol-
which the valley is noted.
The women's department will EN-.
brace exhibitions of lace work, plain
and fancy sewing, embroidery and
decorated art, as well as exhibits OF
fruit, preserves and jellies.
The floral department will include
exhibitions of cut flowers and plants
The school department will be
open to exhibits of all kinds Of
school work accomplished by the
pupils of the valley schools, and will
include manual training and domes-
tic art.
There will also be bee and honey
department and a poultry show,
which latter is becoming very sue
cessful business in this valley.
The county fair this year promises
to be great success in every way.
The great advantages to be secured
by the valley and its people through
the fair should bring out all that is
best in US to do our share in the
work of making the annual show
of our valley products the greatest
and best ever seen here.

ARIZONA is LEADING
In Depositors in the Postal
Banks Whose Average
Savings are $lOO.55

Arizona is star performer in the
lists of the new postal savings banks
according to a Washington dispatch.
Globe and Bisbee rank among the
leaders in the first and second lists
established.
On July /, when new fiscal year
opened, in the six postal savings
banks in Arizona there were $50 de-
positors, who had in the postal banks
$55 800, or about $100.55 per man.
The department recently gave out
the statement that at the close Of
the fiscal year. June 81, there were
1855 open accounts in the banks
open at that time and that the aver
age amount of each depositor was
$57.57. From this it will be seen
that Arizona depositors in the gov
eminent banks average almost twice
as much as the postal bank depositor
over the whole country. In other
words if every state in the union pat
ronized the postal banks like Arizona
has there would now be over $780,
900 on deposit. Or if every deposit
tor in the United States averaged
as much in bank as do the Arizona
patrons of the banks, there would be
over 81, It's, 900 on deposit.
Official figures state that there
was on deposit in the postal savings
banks of the United States at the
close of the fiscal year, $676, TIA.
Of this amount, $780, $40 represents
the amount deposited in six months
in the first 48 banks opened. The
balance was deposited in the as
offices established May / and the
303 offices opened during June.
Arizona is represented by Globe,
Bisbee, Clifton, Douglas Prescott
and Yuma, established previous to
July /, and Flagstaff, Phoenix and
Tucson, authorized during July and
open for business during the pres
ent month.

An Aston Investment

Col. JOnn JACOB AStor, DalQ, ul-
vorced and with sons old enough to
get married, is slated to marry a
Young Thing about eighteen years
old, and the match is attracting a
good deal of attention, which shows
that the Aston press agents are well
fed and working smoothly. The
Young Thing in question is Miss Mad
cline T. Force, daughter of VIM. II.
Force, a well-known club man and
businessman. One hears Of so
many well known club men being
shot up by chorus ladies, being
brought home in a hack, committing
suicide, and INDUCING in other min
or foolishness, that the fact that
Hon. Force is one of them may ex-
plain the fact he is willing to put up
with the foolishness.
Col. Astor says of the Young
Thing of his choice that she is real
cute and there is no doubt that
she looks like a good investment to
that astute financier at this stage OF
the game. 1t is also probable that
the young lady in the case believes
she is getting her moneys worth, or
getting her worth in money, or there
might be another hitch in the pro-
ceedings. There isn't any reason
able doubt that the Young Thing is
selling herself. Youth isn't likely
to mate with age except for con-
sideration, and the Astor millions
are numerous and of sufficient long
standing to insure the social status
of anyone who ties up with a bunch
Of them. Therefore, it is perfect
ly respectable deal, even as gentle
mems agreement on steel prices,
and as it is out of the field of in
surgency and congressional invest
igation, the populace isn't expect
ed to say anything to interfere with
the big show, whether it holds its
peace forever thereafter or not.
But out of the history of an age
old world, or even of this youthful
country, one can tear so many pages
of experience along this line as to
raise a question as to whether it will
prove good investment of the As
tor millions, or profitable sale of
Miss Force. There are so many
things that money won't buy, even
in this commercial age, that both
are taking unnecessary risks. View
ed from this distance, it does not
seem that the young lady with the
breakfast food monicker really needs
the money, but one can't tell how
much money a New Yorker needs
unless he is New Yorker.
What John Jacob can so easily
purchase he may not be able to
keep, for Reno has very little re-
gard for what the New York preach
ers join together, not wishing to
drag God into a combination like
this. The social Whirl at which she
aims, may only make the Young
Thing dizzy and discontented, and
show her the advantage of alimony,
and the old man with the millions
will become the goat. But he won't
bear all the burden, although he is
old enough to know better, and
therefore most to blame. No wo-
man can sell herself without paying
a commission which is apt to be too
large.
