Band Gets Contract For Fair

The members of the Liberal Con-
cert Band are justly proud of their
fortune in being able to land the con-
tract for furnishing the music for
the Southwest Fair to be held here
September III Is, 10 and &c, At the
directors meeting last week the sec
retary was instructed to get com
pany to furnish music and also to
make any necessary arrangements
that were necessary to get good
company for four days. Tho band
boys made their initial appearance
before the public the evening follow
ing the meeting and the Secretary,
Geo. Quinlan seemed so confident Of
their being able to give satisfaction
that he gave them the preference to
foreign bands which asked to come
here for that occasion. The boys are
getting in line and expect to furnish
all the music that is necessary fol-
the four days.

Fair Directors Meeting

Thursday evening, of last week, the
directors of the Southwest Fair met
In the office Of the Secretary and
made a good many arrangements FOR
the fair TO be Of four days duration
in September on the 18th, 18th, 10th
and 20th. This just about
closes up prelimlnaries for the
fair and conditions are pretty satis-
factory to the association because
the things accomplished are some
what ahead of last year.
This season the grounds will be
thrown open to the public both dur
ing the day and evening. A good
many concessions have been secured
and will be both instructive and
amusing for the different classes of
people. Another we'll is to be put
down and the contract for the erec-
tion of the new barn was let. An
other important thing decided upon
Is the manner of going to and from
the fair grounds. The crowds will
go fairgrounds by one route and return
another way. Marshals will be dele
gated at certain distances along the
way and the one who happens to get
out C. the beaten path will have TO
right about face and get in line.
The intent of this Is that there may
be no danger of accident and that
travel both to and from the grounds
will be made as convenient as pos
sible. Automobiles will be given
certain route aud the vehicles will
travel another way. This will be
much safer and more satisfactory TO
the people who have high steppers
which are afraid of the machines.
Arrangements were also made for
lighting the grounds and the work OF
installing the system will be begun
In time TO have the gasoline system
completed and working before the
opening. Next year, the association
hopes to have an electric lighting
system of It's own.
The race track Is In excellent con-
dition now and will be put lnyo pack
at once by having some extra work
put in on 1t from this time on to the
DAYS of beginning. Drivers who have
been over the stretch state that II Is
In excellent condition from last year
but 1t will be carefully watched and
put in the very best shape possible
for the races, IL rains or weather
should make more work necessary.

Apply For Position at Fair

During the fair in September there
will be need OF good many laborers
and helpers. No man will be asked
to do any work in return for COM
plimentary tickets. All work will be
paid for at usual rates and If any one
feels that he can handle depart
ment or wants to assist in any way
he must see the secretary now and
get lined out on the duties required
of him. There must be helpers in
the different departments also special
marshals and men to help handle the
crowds both during the day and the
evening If you want to get on the
force see Geo Quinlan, the secretary
and he will explain all about the help
needed and the way the association
wants the work done. There will be
work for a good many men but the
man or boy who wants place must
get it before the last days because 1t
Is the desire on the part of the man.

and have them keep on the move all

During the last week, a good many
people have stopped to admire an oil
painting which is in the window at
the Wiley Drug Store. The painting
is reproduction of the famous
"Horse Fair" end is owned and was
painted by Mrs. Tom Deane OF this
city. The lady has just finished her
work and expects to enter it at the
fair this fall for an exhibit In the
art department. The picture is a
large one possibly two by four foot

part of the painting is that Mrs.
Deane has never had any instruction
in painting except some instruction
in painting flowers This is her
first attempt with animal life and is
fine piece of work.

Not Decided Yet

Whether the Scott City Northern
railway is to be extended this fall,
either south OF southwest will de.
pend upon developments withlro the
next thirty days.
The road is to be sold at receivers
sale August6 8. The st. Louis inter
ests, backed by the Commonwealth h
Trust company, which are promOt-
ing the extension expect to buy in
this line from Scott City to Winona.
MThe plan then is to extend 1t south,
either to connection with the
Wichita Falls road, now owned by
the NJ. X. g. T. interests. by building
through Garden City and Liberal tC
Forgan or else extend to connect
with the Midland Valley In Wichita

The Wichita Falls road stopped
construction at Forgan, but the M

sirous of extending on through tt
Denver at an early date.-Hutchin-

Not Resume Associations.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The gov
 ernment will not resume negotiations
 with those officials close to Huerta who are urging further parleys until
 assurances are given of Huerta's inten-
 tiOn to resign. This was the status of
 the situation late tonight. Efforts of
 the cOunsellors of Huerta to induce Lind, at Vera Cruz, to reopen the en-
 tire subject, were unsuccessful it was
 reported here. Lind refuses to return
 to Mexico City unless definite promis
 es are forthcoming from Huerta
 Chairman Bacon, of the foreign rela-
 tions committee, declared that the only
 condition upon which negotiations will
 be re-Opened is to complete the surren-
 der of Huerta. Though optimistic over
 the support received from the great
 powers he had not discussed the sit
 nation beyond indicating again that
 Huerta's elimination is inevitable. In
 regard to Carranza's absolute refusal
 to accept any transaction" with for
 eign nations looking toward the regu- latiOn of MeXicO'S internal affairs there
 was no comment. It was suggested in some quarters that Carranza's declara- tiOn was chiefly to allay any feeling in Mexico that he is entering in alliance with the United States, situation that
 might be made an issue, if realized 1 here, and develop discOrd among his followers. It is stated on authority of persons in Wilson's confidence that the Washington administration never off cred mediation through William Bay ard Hale or any other interference with a view of regulating internal affairs in l Mexico. The sole purpose of the par | leys through Hale. it was pointed out, | has been to obtain the assurance of protection to all foreign interests in 1 the event the embargo on arms is lifted. l Instructions were sent Charge d' Af- 1 fairs O'Shaugnessy indicating the eX- | tent the United States is to go in re- | opening negotiations with counsellOrs l of Huerta who sought to renew par | leys. The anxiety shown by the cOun- | sellOrs is regarded as a fovarabIe sign l that definite assurances are fOrthcom- | ing of a quick compliance to the de- l mand that Huerta be eliminated and | the new congress not convened. It is l the governments position that unless | something definite is promised by Hu-
 erta and his officials, the resumption of negotiations is fruitless.

About Huerta's Attitude.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 14.-Huerta's s attitude toward the demands of the United States that he make way for a new government is one of a person only half convinced, notwithstanding the urging of his friends that he ac- cede. Representatives of this element in the cabinet have given no assurance es that Wilson has unbent sufficiently to warrant the hope that negotiations be re-opened; nevertheless friends of Huerta who are convinced that the United States is not bluffing, believe he will be able to bring about the desired changes in time to prevent complete ruptures in diplomatic relations. This conviction is based on the fact that Washington has not put into effect the implied threat to remove the embassy or announce new course of action. Sir Lionel Garden, the British minister
 conveyed to Huerta the intimation that the United States is in earnest in its
Arizona republican., 1913-11-15

intention and is said to have told Hu- erta, .that the British government is disposed to back the United States morally. Huerta is said to have been deeply impressed when he realized that the nation which he had believed would stand by him indefinitely had joined with the one he regards as his enemy. Huerta tonight is said to be consider ing his own elimination. Tomorrow is the date fixed for the preliminary meeting of congress and there appears no reason to believe it will not con vene, notwithstanding the demand of the United States that it should not.
 The meeting tomorrow is only for the presentation by members of theft credentials, for organization and then there will be a lapse of days before the formal session will listen to the pres
 ident's message. It is represented to Huerta that the United States will re-
 gard the preliminary as seriously as the formal opening, since it will indi- cate the intentitnO of the Mexican gov ernment to defy Washington. The sit uation is perpleXing, since the law pro- vides the resignation of the president must be made to congress, and the only congress in Mexico today is in jail and Huerta does not feel justified in send ing his resignation to the penitentiary. Advisers of Huerta are sending an
 emissary to Shaughnessy to insist
 that the demand of the United States is unreasonable, since if the new con gress is permitted to meet and then be a body to which Huerta can send his resignation and maintain his dignity. It is suggested he might assure the United States by a document stating the only measure this body is expected to exact and that none of these be Ob- jectiOnable to Washington. Proprie- tors of business houses are ordering
 employees to leave the capitol and pro- ceed to Vera Cruz.

The present day athletic girl is bring ing about this change in the
 size of the sexes.

If rumors that have recently been started by eminent scientists are to credited, the women of two hundred years hence will be female giants of physique and much larger than the male of the species. They will be the brute sex of the two; theirs will be the prerogative to arrive home at what hour and condition they choose. The women of another day will be muscular and weighty and powerful of bicep. Henpecking when that time arrives will be the order of the day.
 It seems that the outdoor life that is being led by the present day ath- letic maiden has a tendency to develop them not alone in health and spirits, but also in height, weight, bust, muscu- lar prowess and quite a number of things. We have all observed that of late years the clever thing for girls and other members of the female gen. der is to spend as much time as pos sible in the great outdoors. either golf ing or tennising or horse backing.

 English is second to none as a singing language" Dekoven asserted and was applauded by the academic ans. Going further he said, We have no folk music in this country. Neither the songs of the Indians nor negroes may be considered as having in them any basis of popular music. Do not They are building up our music as it should be built from the bottom up. not from the top down. The popular song of today is immeasurably better than those of ten years ago and DO. ular music publishers tell me that songs which sold easily five years ago are not good enough to sell now"
 As to opera in English, Dekoven said, open the doors of their own country to thousands of American singers who are now transforming in Europe at Starvation salaries. Only opera in English can assure popular support here. The absolute demand of the public will force a change in a few years, he declared
 Other speakers were Madison Kawein, who read a poem, William Gillette and Thomas Hastings.

JULIUS CAESAR
 SPLENDID PRODUCTION

In leaving the beaten path to make such production as his Julius Cae- sar, William Faversham has rendered the stage and the world of art and l letters great and lasting service. Julius Caesar is one Of the last plays ! that q popular star would ordinarily 1 care to undertake, the risk of artistic 1 failure is so great, the chance of 1 financial gain so small that there is little to attract the average actor of | the day to attempt it. Fortunately, | Mr. FaVersham is not an average ! actor in any sense of the word, his 1 trionically, temperameptally and in 1 teiectually, he is far above the aver age and his truly splendid produc- 1 ton of this great tragedy stands as ample proof of it.
 1 It was difficult task to make an adequate showing of so great a pro duction on such Q small stage as that at the Elks'. and yet the result | obtained was wonderful. The waits 1 between the scenes were little short of remarkable under the circum- stances and the stage pictures were 1 really splendid
 Taken as a whole, the company was one of unusual excellence. There may have been some weak spots if one Were looking for them, but We will frankly admit that we were not looking for them. There were so much that was unqualifiedly good that we found no time to observe lanything else.

CARLOAD OF COTTON
 IS SHIPPED TODAY
First Full Car to Leave Salt River Valley Consigned to Rhode Island.

The first shipment of cotton for the year, and the first shipment of a full carload of cotton ever made from this valley, will leave this city today It is consigned to the Westerly, Rhode Island. Clark Mills, and is shipped by the Arizona Egyptian Cotton company
 The car loaded consists of forty bales, the value of which is in the neighborhOod of $4.5O0 Each bale will tip the scales at 500 pounds and the value of the raw cotton is 21 cents per pound
 This is the first time in the his tory of the cotton industry in this state that a whole carload of cotton has been shipped from local markets. Last year there were several ship ments of small amounts from the valley, most of which were from the Glendale district, but the aggregate would not make up d full car This year there will be shipped several more carloads, at the least fifteen or more, and they will come from the gins in all districts of the valley.
