The Friends We
Might Have Made

The most pathetic phase
Of life is a realization of the
friends that we never make;
the friends that might have
been made *by just exerting
ourselves a little more. Who
ever contemplated the loss OF
friends that he might have
made by just releasing a little
of his self-centered reserve?
We appreciate the person
who always greets us at meet
ing day after day. 1t is SC
easy, So simple to spread the
halo of happiness about us
that we often overlook it and
60 through the world thinking
that every smile and every
good impulse we have is not
worth while unless bartered
away for something in ex-
change. There life loses its
whole value. 1t is when it
comes from within with a
worthy motive that happiness
is truly ours. National

about physicians leaving some

Secretary Wood maintains that
Arizona will, within the next
generation be one of the greatest
states in the union in point of
wealth and population, and that
all that is necessary is cooper
alton and team work among the
various communities of the state,
that petty jealousies and knock
ing should cease: that each com
munity should boost the other
and never try to boost the home
locality at the expense Of any
other. He declares that the in
terest of one part of Arizona is
the interest of all, and one can
not flourish or prosper except for
the benefit of all.

Home Industries.

duty Of the people to patronize
home industry, and we have
advocated it, too. The theory
is correct and there IS no
doubt that if generally prac-
t1ced the result would be all
that is claimed for it, as mon
ey kept at home and in circu-
lation benefits most every body
in a community; but unfor-
tunately, a good many people
who advocate buying at home
don't practice it themselves.
The question has become Of
vital importance to the local
merchants, with the adoption
and growth of the parcels
post, and especially to the
small storekeeper. The mail
order business in this country
is growing at a surprising
rate, and there is agitation to
have the maximum weight of
package that can be sent by
mail increased and the rates
charged for the service reduc-
ed, which would make it still
harder for the country mer-
chant to hold his trade: in com

more opportunities for profit

most other parts of the world,
and conditions are better for

PANAMA PACIFIC RACE
MEETING CHANGE.

held yesterday communications
from Ed. A. Upton, president of
the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeders Association, H. K,
Devereaux, J. c. Bauer, mem
bers of the advisory committee,
and others, were read, urging
the postponement Of the fall race
meeting on the exposition track
one week so as to permit ample
time for horses engaged at the
Lexington meeting in 1915 to
race at the exposition meeting
and take in the Arizona state fair
at Phoenix. D. 0. Lively, chief
of the department of livestock,
division of exhibits, stated the
program Of events on the expo
sition track could be arranged SO
as to permit of the postponement
and it was ordered that the fall
race meeting commence on Sat-
urday, October 80, running two
weeks from that date. 1t is also
planned to make special provi-
sions for shipping from the Lex
ington meeting and to secure a
low rate as the horses are shipped
here for exhibition purposes.
The adoption of this measure
harmonizes the interests of all
concerned, and the management
Of the eastern meetings have all
offered to do all in their power
to promote the exposition meet
ing and to help secure entries for
the four big events to close on
September 1st. There is no
question but what the change
will be popular one with all
concerned. :"
The above from the Breeder
and Sportsman indicates in a
measure what can be done to ad-
vertise Arizona if we hustle.
The Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition has offered
S225, 900 in two great race meets
for 1915. The summer meeting
to be held in June and the fall
meeting to be held in November.
This meeting will be q wonder
ful help to the Arizona State
Fair and the state Of Arizona if
properly taken care Of.
In 1914 it is the plan Of the
eastern horsemen to come west
and winter and be ready for the
June meet at Sar Francisco.
Then they will return east for the
grand circuit and other meets
and return again to the west for
the late fall meeting at the expo
sition.
While east Secretary Wood
was constantly asked the ques-
ton will you western people
give US good meets in 1914 and
1915? We want to come then
sure. "
The Arizona state fair commits
sion will meet in Phoenix Aug.
18th to take up the many ques-
tions of detail connected with the
great state fair and among them
will be the general outline of
plans for 1914 and 1915. In or
der that they may take advan-
tage of the wonderful opportuni-
ties presented.
It is the policy of the Arizona
state fair commission to encour-
age county and local fairs as
much as possible. It is on the
recommendation of the fair com
mission that a bill was passed by
the legislature authorizing the
several county boards of super
visors to use not exceeding $500
for county fair purposes. It is
hoped that by 1915 every large
county in the state will have a
strong fair association.

SHOE MANUFACTURER
PREDICTS CATTLE FAMINE
J. Harry SELF Of Chicago Says
United States Must Have
More Cattle at Once.

Considerable interest and alarm is mani
Est oil through the United States over the
cattle situation. Those who have been
making study of this and are in posi-
ton to accurately forecast the condition
IN this country take very serious view
| Of the matter.
j. Harry SELF, president Of SELF, Schwab
Co., large shoe manufacturers of Chi
saso, who are probably among the largest
buyers and users of fine leather, in an i'm
terview yesterday stated that the short
sge of cattle was the greatest menace this
country has to face. "The real impor-
sance Of this, said Mr.. Sell, "can hardly
be perceived by the average person at the
present time, and they will only realize
what it means with relation to the high
cost Of living when it is too late to ~
heve the situation and the mischief has
been done. Meat win be higher, and, Of
course, that affects the price of leather
and likewise the price of shoes. If the
population continues to increase for the
next SIX years in the same proportion that
II has IN the last six years and the cattle
supply keeps on diminishing in the same
proportion, there viii be only four head
ct cattle to every ten people. This is just
one-half the number Of cattle in proper
tion to the number of people that there
were twelve years ago.
II this question were thoroughly under
stood BY the rural community and imme-
date action were taken towards more cat
re raising, the situation would be some
what relieved. We are slaughtering our
cattle, and especially the calves, ruthlessly.
without giving any thought to the future. 4
Every farmer in this country ought to b.
encouraged to double, treble or quadruple
hls supply. In my opinion cattle raising
will not only prove profitable in the next
few years, but almost nationwide neces-
sity l am speaking not only from the
hide end of it, but frorn the food supply.
If the government would pay more
attention to the cons ervation of cattle
md less IN pickering about things that /,
don't concern them, it would be great !
help to the country in the end. It may
'ound foolish to some people if the gov
rnment would pay a bounty on every /
head Of cattle raised, but it would be bet /
'er expended than for lot Of public build
ngs in out-of-the-way placss.
They talk about turning to South I
America for their supply and even Az
entlna, when only . few short years
go the cry went out that America could
eed the world. South America cannot
