THE STINGLESS HONEY BEE.

for a season; we take no man clear across the continent in the coach he started in-the coach is stabled some. where on the plains and its heated machinery allowed to cool for a few days: when razor has seen long service and refuses to hold an edge, the barber lays it away for few weeks and the edge comes back of it's cwn accord. We betray thoughful care upon inanimate objects, but none upon ourselves What a robust nation, what nation of thinkers we might be if we would only lay ourselves upon the shelf occasionally ard renew our edges"
 That's simply the argument for va cations. in a different form.
 People don't expect that field will maintain it's fruitfulness if it is planted every year and to the same thing; yet some eople think that s hu- man being can plod away at the same task year in and year out without change. and still retain his mental and physical capacity.
 People don't expect that a Iocomo. tive or a railroad coach can be kept going constantly without rest: yet some 0 fthem seem to think that the intricate and delicate mechanism tbat is themsdlFes can accomplish this miracle
 There is much virtue in skillfu! loafing.
 Too much of it. of course is bad enough; but it's not much worse than no loafing at all if it is IS bad
 The human machine needs rest. just es much as razor or q loco motive; and it needs change and the chance to lie fallow. just as much as a field.
 That's why it is that you can do more and better work in forty-eighJ weeks Or fifty than you can in fifty two.

 AUTOMOBILES RACE


 The proposed automobile race from Fl Paso to Phoenix over the Border land highway route as an even; of the state fair, promises to awaken en. thusiastic interest in all the cities along the route and besides will he 6 means Of attracting more attention to the annual stete fair than was ever before created.
 The racing cars entering this con. test must mass through the cities and country from which the fair mast de pend most for its sucecss and pa. tronase. There will be twenty people go to Phoenix in November to at- tend the fair from along the Border land route 10 one from Los Angeles or san Diego or both
 During the past three years races have been run from Los Angeles to Phoenix at the beginning of fair weeN and as a result Pbcenix has received a vast amount of free advertising. If the race is run from Fl Paso to Phoe. nix than Douglas. Bisbee. Tombstone, Tucson, Florence and Mesa will share in this publicity along with the capi. tai Heretofore Phoenix and Yuma have alone received the publicity in connection with the state fair auto. mobile races. while hundreds and hun dreds of visitors from the Arizona cities along the BorderlaEI route have cheered the racing cars as they arrive from Los Angeles and pocketed the big prizes offered.
 The Review will be surprised If El Paso and all cities and towns along the Borderland route do not enter with unusual enthusiasm aBd deter imitation on the work of making this proposed automobile race the great est racing event ever recorded in the southwest Bisbec mas pledged to do it's full share of this work as well as provide it's share of the prize money.
 It has been agreed that five thou sand dollars shall be provided as prize money for the Fl Paso to Phoe. nix race and besides this each impor- tant city along the route will no doubt have special cups for presentation to the successful racers as they pass through.
 An automobile race between Fl Paso and Phoenix will bring many ad. vantages, so far as advertising the state fair is concerned. because of the number and importance of the Arizona cities through which it will pass, including Douglas, Bisbee. Tomb stone Tucson. Florence and Mesa As the speeders pass through these points their time win be flashed oveI the press wires to all parts of thC country. The Los Angeles race mus. be run over long stretches of deser, wilderness with DO one 10 applaud o' report progress until Yuma Is reached and after that nothing more can bt heard until the cars come rushing into Phoenix
 The state fair is an enterprise whicL is supported by alI Arizona and 1t i' right that as much of the state as possible should Fe advertised in con nection with it If the Fl Paso ana Phoenix automobile race is mad the success it slovld be then the eoun ties of Cechise Pima and PiEal wil receive real and substantial beneh which has not been apparent in tb' past SO far as auto ssoing for th' faiT is concerned.

sale
In reference to the deal which has
been lately rumored constantly in Bir-
mingham this data was given out yes

tiating with the city with references

WILL DEMONSTRATE
FARM MACHINERY At
THE FAIR THIS YEAR
Ask Manufacturing Con-
Germs il They Would
Wish to Exhibit
Products

In latter years the annual state fair
of the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit
association Of Birmingham has been
lacking in few things. but one thing
which 1t has never had and which has
probably been missed most. Is a thor
ough demonstration during tho fair of
the operation of all kinds of farm ma
ehinery This Is feature of all the big
fairs of the northern and eastern states
This year. however. the local fair Of
ficlals have determined to add this fin
ishing touch to the big Alabama ag-
ricultural show and efforts are now be-
ing made to have such a demonstration
of all kinds of farm machinery at the
1913 fair this fall.
TO this end acting Secretary Sam
Fowlkes is sending out letters to all
of the larger farm implement manufae-
turing concerns in all parts of the
country, asking them If they might
be interested in making an exhibit OF
their product. The letters are as fol-
lows:
"Gentlomen In times past our SOUTH
ern farmers have been satisfied to go
along in the same old d-fashioned way
with one-horse plow and live in a
very crude way without any conve-
niences in his home. However in the
past few years he has learned that
our soil is admirably suited for diversi-
fled farming. and he not only raises
his cotton but is devoting some atten-
tion to the raising of corn. alfalfa. live
stock swine, etc. With our long sum-
ners and good land thousands of these
farmers are now in a very prosperous
condition. The old one horse plow has
given place to the large plow, oultiva-
tor, and other improved farm machin-
cry They are also installing in their
homes many labor saving devices.
We consider that time is now ripe
for makers of farm machinery To get
in touch with our farmers with view
to putting their devices on their farms.
The Alabam State Fair this year ex-
poets to follow the custom of several Of
the largest western fairs and has set
aside a space for the demonstration Of
farm machinery. our fair is the largest
in the southeast, drawing thousands of
farmers, not only from Alabama, but
from adjoining states ever year. We
believe the State FAIR Will prove the
cheapest, best and quickest way to get
these products before the farmers.
I'VE have secured the cooperation of
the largest farm paper in. this section
of the country which reaches over 100.-
600 farmers in this district (The Pro-
gressive Farmer). We are sending you
under separate cover a copy of this
magazine, and on page S34 you viii find
where they are very much interested in
a proposition of this kind.
IF interested in this proposition
kindly advise stating how mucn space
your exhibit would require and we
will be pleased to quote you prices on
same.
Hoping to hear from you favorabIy.
we are. with best wishes. yours very
truly.
