CHICKEN RAISING TEST

 lis the noise of the baby chick! It resounds through the eager brains If a herd of young Phoenicians like the call of Stri-i-iker Out! in the rind of the fan. The reason for it all is that the Young Mems Christian association has started chicken raising contest One of those entirely honest contests, of course. The chicks will be raised from their early youth. not from the perches of their owner. Twenty members of the junior class of the association have been allowed to enter the competition. The Sturges Hay and Grain company do- Eated a hundred just matched chick ems of good strain and healthy withal. The brood will be divided among the tV enty lads with instructions on how to build boxes, feed, water and care for them. This will all occur We'd neSday.
 The contest will last until the down is replaced by quills. and the birds grow to mature strength. Then the prizes will be distributed among the .-ounS hen-ists as follows. For the pest pen tall i've CIllckellS III SOOu health and COnditiOn) the Sturges company will give a cash prize, and for the best individuals the Y M. c. A will award trophies and medals
 It was ridiculous the way the youngsters went at the contest. It mad hardly been broached among them before there were twice as many entries as could be accommodated The first tWenty-One were signed up.
 Chicken raising is a practical thing. The association believes in fostering the souls of it's charges, but it is also a practical institution. Chicken rais ing is a source of revenue as well as being an occupation for youthful minds and hands. The association figures that while the boys are caring for their fluffy pets, they will be learning something useful, and it may start some of them to making a bit c: spending money
 Not the least of the premiums will be the memberships that will be given av'ay. The first will carry a years membership, the second six months and he third three months. Possibly some blooded roosters will constitute other prizes for which the incipient egg trust will strive

 For the High School. Dains, also rather new to the pitching game. worked in the box. His work was good. though. and with the right kind of support a different story might have been told.

 The Normal scored it's five runs in one inning. the fatal third. The first two men to cross the plate scored on hits. The next three scored on an error in center field, allowing the batter to complete the circle of the bases at his own chosen pace.
 Tempe High scored one man in the third on d squeeze play. The next man scored in the sixth on an error at third. Immediately following the High forced another man across the plate on a squeeze play. And on an error of this same play. the fourth tally was made, the last of the entire game.

Frequent inquiry has been made here
the past day or two as to the where
abouts of Governor Brewer and Just as

COTTON UNSETTLED
DURING PAST WEEK
Prices Off Nearly $5 Per
Bale From High Records
Established

New York, October 10-The cotton mar
ket has been generally unsettled during
the past week with prices selling off
nearly s. per bale from the high records
established just before the publication
of the last government crop report Bet
ter weather inethe south, tendency to
revise some of the small crop estimates
circulating earlier in the month, and an
easier turn in the southern spot mar
kets have been partly responsible for the
selling, While after an advance of nearly
cents pound since the middle of last
August there was naturally an accumula-
tion of speculative long interests. which
has doubtless been much reduced on
the reaction. Unfavorabe trade advices
from abroad and continued talk of labor
troubles in Lancashire have encouraged
the more bearish average of sentiment,
but judging from talk around the ring and
the published opinions of many local
houses the selling has been more on the
expectation OF better buying basis than

tendency toward increased estimates of
