Arizona For Arizonans

Suppose every business man in the Salt River valley should take a notion to organize a club to be called and known as the Arizona Booster" club and have for it's motto Arizona for Arizonans the year round"
 The motto would mean. spend your vacations in Arizona instead of going to the coast and other for eign countries.
 There are hundreds of beautiful places in Arizona where people can go for the summer which will make southern California climate look and seem like 30 cente. Prescott, Flagstaff. Williams, Iron Springs, Oak Creek, Whiteriver. Douglas, Globe, Tombstone and Nogales all have splendid summer clim ates.
 Business men of Maricopa, some- thing of this sort will pay you more than one can foretell.
 Try it. The effort will cost noth- ing.-Gazette.

Poultry Show a Feature

One of the chiefest features of in- terest to everybody from agricul- tural sections who will visit the New Mexico State Fair, to be held in Albuquerque, October g to IA. will be the poultry department. The poultry show, in fact, is going to be one of the biggest attractions at the fair. A splendid list of prizes has been made up and the catalog announcing regulations and tro phies is now on the press and will soon be ready for distribution, free to all who wish a copy. Many east .ern poultry concerns have gener- ously donated prizes to the fair as- sociation, to be given in turn to successful competitors. The poul- try show promises to be big suc- cess from every standpoint.

Not Forgetting the Farmer

As an indication of the trend towards greater attention to the agricultural side of Arizona's de- velopment. this paragraph from the Florence ade-Tribune is perti- nent:
 While Arizona leads the world in the production of copper her agricultural interests are by no means insignificant. Her farm lands are valued at over $42, ,000,. 900 and she has expended over $17. 100000 in the construction oi irrigation systems, which make the average cost of retaining her agri- cultural land little over $45 per acre. When all the available water supply of the territory shall have been utilized in the reclamation ol agricultural land Arizona will lead the world in the value of farm and orchard products, as we'll as 1T the production of copper. She vii be enabled to reach this enviablt position because of climatic anc soil conditions"

A cloudburst at the Roosevelt dam last week broke over and put out of commission the power canal by means of which Phoenix secures her electric light power, operated by the government. Pending re- pairs and a resumption of power plant operations, the city is being supplied from the reserve steam plant of the Pacific Gas and Elee- tric company.

Subscribers Must Pay

The acceptance of newspaper makes the recipient liable for the subscription price, according to a decision handed down last week by the Kansas City (Mo.) court of ap- peals. The case in question was that of o. D. Austin, publisher of the Bates County Record, at Butler, against Charles Burge, subscriber. The latter paid for the paper twice and then refused to pay again. He said he had ordered it stopped. The court said:
 "The preparation and publica- ton of newspaper involves much mental and physical labor. as well as an outlay of money. One who accepts the paper by continuously taking it from the postofice re- ceives benefit and pleasure aris- ing from such labor and expendi- ture as fully as if he had appropri- ated any other product of another's labor, and by such act he must be held liable for the subscription price," The above decision is sim. liar to a number of others rendered in different states during the past few1years.

Kill rlore Than Wild Beasts

The number of people killed yearly by wild beasts don't ap- proach the vast number killed by disease germs. No life is safe from their attacks. They're in air, water, dust, even food. But grand pro- lection is afforded by Electric Bit ters, which destroy and expel these deadly disease germs from the sys- tenn. That's why chills. fever and ague, all malarial and many blood diseases yield promptly to this wonderful blood purifier.

ARIZONA STATE FAIR

At meeting of the territorial fair commission, just completed, arrangements were made for the holding of the Seventh Arizona Annual Fair, the dates this year being November 6 to II. Unlike past years the work of preparation has .been carried on for some months past by Shirley Christy, the secre- tary of the fair, and as conse- quence matters are in such shape that the first work Of the commits sioners was largely the considera- tion of plans outlined by Christy.
 Gov. Sloan, who is good friend of the territorial fair and much in terested, has urged that an effort be made to secure new exhibits, and this matter will be given espe- cial attention. Increased premium ms have been offered in all the various departments of the fair, and for their care and exhibition several new buildings are being constructed.
 Taken all in all, the outlook for a successful fair this year is most encouraging. The Territorial Fair Commission is now composed of H. E. Campbell of Flagstaff, who is president; E. R. Pirtle of Douglas. and w. c. Foster of Phoenix, treas urer. Shirley Christy has been re- elected secretary and many of the i heads of the various departments of
 last year have been retained.
 Three times as many people of Tucson have spent their vacations | in the Santa Rita and Catalina
 mountains this year than ever be-
 fore, according to statistics of the
 Tucson chamber of commerce. not
 only keeping many thousands of dollars in Arizona that otherwise
 would have gone into the pockets
 of southern Californians, but have
 learned more about their own state
 and spent as pleasant vacation.
 It is estimated that $20,000 has
 been kept at home.
 I Maps and plats were recently filled with the Arizona land office | by the Navajo Development com .pany in the interest of the Navajo

The Great Art of Dyinq,

To die without rebellion and without
weakness is the masterpiece of a man.
A mountain guide whose name the
London Mail does not mention in mar
rating the story of his heroism, with
two others, was leading a party over
one of the most dangerous passes of
the higher Alps.
The men, as is usual, were tied to-
gether by a long rope. AS they scaled
a wall of ice they slipped on the edge
Of a frightful chasm. The guide was
at the end of the rope.
Without his weight there was a
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with it his experienced eye
told him there was none. With in
slant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
Tell mother how it happened, Ed
mond."
He cut the rope and fell, never to be
seen again.
