An Arizona Industry.

The Arizona Portland cement
company, of Phoenix, incorpor-
ated in October 1909, has been
quietly but vigorously and intel
ligently developing it's lime and
clay beds, testing the material,
both in the laboratory and by
manufacture and are now putting
on the market a Portland cement
second to none, in quality, in the
entire country.
Mr.. Paul F. Bovard, the expert
for the government has made a
thorough examination and test of
cement made by this company
and said: Il am pleased to say
to you that the materials are
suitable for making high-class
Portland cement, and the abun-
dance and locality of these ma
terials make the manufacture
ideally practical. In submitting
a report Mr.. Bouvard said: by
comparison with other brands,
from the cement experts stand
point the material of the Arizona
Portland Cement company stands
with the best. "
The Barber Asphalt paving
company has decided to use this
cement and is a fine testimonial
to the worth of a state product.
The Snowflake herald., 1913-10-24

In addition to the usual races
and exhibits the following fea-
lures have been arranged for:
Monday, Governors day Auto
parade through Prescott and the
Fair grounds with cash prizes
for the best decorated machine;
baseball tournament starts; Elab-
crate vaudeville show at the
Elks Theatre.
Tuesday, Childrens' day stock
parade of the Northern Arizona
Prize winners. Armour and
Company's baby show, free for
all babies under two years of
age. There will be five gold and
silver prizes and a special prize
for the mother bringing the most
sensibly dressed baby. Illumin-
ated spectacular night presen-
tation of the scenes of '49"
Wednesday, County's day.
There will be a military parade
at the Fair grounds with an ex-
hibition of horsemanship and
daring riding by United States
Cavalry. The final games for
the baseball tournament will be
played. The last race for the
championship of Northern Ari-
zona will be run. There will be
a grand ball in the evening.
Prescott has ample facilities
for taking care of even greater
crowds than are expected for the
first Northern Arizona Fair. The
management guarantees that
there will be no increase in prices.
The railroad has made special
excursion rates so that the trip
to Prescott will be within the
reach of all.

ARGENTINA BEEF TO
The UNITED STATES

Active preparations by Argen-
tina to take immediate advantage
of the free beef clause Of the
new tariff law and send to the
United States large shipments of
beef were reported today by DR..
A. V. Melvin, chief the bureau of
animal industry, who has just re-
turned from South America. He
made the trip for the department
Ofagriculture to study meat pack
ing and inspecting conditions in
Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
DR.. Melvin said it was a signifi-
cant fact that a big steamship line
operation between the United
States and the east coast of South
America had installed large re-
migrating spaces for beef.
Argentina and Uruguay, DR..
Melvin said, have good meat in
SpectiOn laws.
Figures issued to day by the
bureau of domestic and foreign
commerce show that whereas the
United States exported $44, 900,
WO worth of beef and cattle in
the first eight months of 1904,
during the corresponding period
this year only 100000 worth
nave been shipped abroad.

AT THE PRESCOTT FAIR.

An extension has been made
of the time during which excur-
sion tickets can bebought desiring
to attend the Northern Arizona
Fair, at Prescott. The Fair opens
Monday, October 27, and lasts
three days. The Santa Fe rail-
road has agreed to sell excursion
tickets on October "a, good until
October 81. This will enable ex-
hibitors who bring their exhibits
to reach Prescott on Saturday
before the Fair. Prescott has
gone to very heavy expense in
preparing the Fair grounds. The
racetrack is in perfect condition
and the paddocks for the livestock
and the building for the exhibition
have all been completed. Every
county throughout the Northern
part of Arizona will be represent
ed to a certain extense in these
exhibits.
Each afternoon will see a series
of cow pony races and wild West
ern stunts, in which riders from
every part of Arizona will take
part. The entertainment at the
track will be under the direction
of Tom Mix, formerly Arena di-
rector for the ranch 1O1 outfit.
He will be assisted by an aggrega-
tion of wild west riders now en-
ployed by the Selig Polyscope Co.
who are acknowledged by the
amusement world to be the best
in their line of business. There
will be special features in connec-
ton with each days entertain
ment.
Lewis Francis, the aviator, pro-
misses absolutely to make flights
in his Biplane each morning and
afternoon, weather permitting.
1 he aviator at the Albuquerque
Fair was forced by the dangers
in flying in a high altitude to
abandon his flights. Mr.. Francis
knows we'll the difficulties he is
taking and promises some thrill
ing and hair raising stunts.
Jerome has organized a base
ball nine which the copper miners
insist is the best aggregation in
Northern Arizona. This makes
the fourth city to furnish a nine
for the baseball tournament.
There will be games each day.
Much interest has already been
manifested in the free for all
race for the championship of
Northern Arizona. The horses
will run each day with cash prizes
of aggregating $3.50 for each
days race. The final race estab-
fishing the championship will be
held the last day of the Fair.
Governor Hunt will be the
guest of Prescott during the
Fair. 1t is expected that Vice
President Marshal and wife will
also be in attendance.

Forgiveness is about the biggest

Well, thank God for the forgettings

LET US FORGET

TT IS FAR more difficult to forget
not to say that memory is not desir-
= than it is to remember. This is
able, but the chances are that some
would be happier with good forgotten
attached to the mind.
There is a School of Memory. A
man has patent method by which you
can train the mind to retain every
thing.
There is thus far no school of for
getting. Here is an opportunity for
somebody.
The reason why forgetting is so val
liable is because beginnings are de-
pendent upon it. Forgetting helps US
to begin again-forgetting our fail
ures, forgetting our disappointments,
forgetting our disillusions, forgetting
the hurts and stumbles and bravely
climbing up and beginning all over
again.
We express ourselves, our best selves
through forgetting, and that's why for
getting is fine art. It's good thing
to be able to forget the people who
cause you to feel resentment, hatred
malice, envy, doubt and jealousy. The
art of forgetting is like an eraser that

WANTED: THE RIGHT MEN

THE DULUTH HERALD, direct
ing attention to the appalling
1 increase" in the state tax rate
concludes that economy and efficiency
sis the issue on which the legislature
of 1915 must be pledged"
In putting the responsibility for
the increase of the tax rate on
the legislature The Herald is quite
right. 1t is scarcely enough, however,
to secure from candidates for the leg
islature professions of virtue in that
respect. Of course no candidate will
have the nerve to say that he intends
to squander the peoples money. Pledg-
es in favor of economy and efficiency
will be about the easiest things in the
world to get.
To elect men, however, who will
really work for economy and who Will
know how to set about reorganizing
the state government along lines OF
efficiency will be much more dill
cult matter. That is not job that
any Tom, Dick or Harry can tackle.
The task is one that will tax the ca
pacity of the best men we have.
1t is so important, however, that the
best men of the community should be
drafted to do it. Almost any one can
hold down a county Office who has
any acquaintance at all with the three
RS. The duties of even the highest
state executive position are not ex-
acting as we have seen. To complete
ly discharge the duties of a legislator
is a different matter. That requires
peculiar talents and talents of very
high order.
The right men can no doubt be
found What is more difficult is to
impress on the voters the necessity OF
looking for them. We have grown al
together too careless in electing men
who spend our money and make our
laws. Reform should start with bet
ter realization on our part of the i'm
portance of the duties they have to
