RIGHTS.

A worker for better conditions Tor
children is quoted as saying that emil
dren have a right to be supported
without working and that mo states
effectively assure this right"
1t is all very true that too lew
states pay attention to the rights OF
children, many of them allowing chill
dren to be turned into mere laborlng
machines, but it is just as true that
others have gone too far to the other
extreme and have cut off from the
child something he really needs TO
properly develop him. There are many
states that will not permit the employ.
ment Of a boy under sixteen years OF
age even at work that Is fundamental
ly boys work. This is going too far
in the effort to protect children, or IN
stead of being harmed, a boy Is made
bigger and better for having grown up
with the knowledge that after all,
work is one of the most important
things in life. There are some we'll
meaning people who would absolutely
prevent boys under sixteen working at
all. That would mean that after the
age of sixteen, the boys Of the land
would have to start in learning the real
lessons of life.
Of course it is possible to overdo the
working idea but there seems little to
chose between the boy who has never
had to do any work and the boy VINO
has had to work harder than was best
for him. If there is any choice 1t IS
more often in favor Of the latter than
the former.
It is granted that up to about the age
Of eight, a boys play is work enough
for him. After that he should have
chores to do about the house n q
year or too later he could well afford
to put in some of his time after chool
or during vacation earning some mon
ey for himself and better still a knowl'
edge of the true worth of money. The
greatest financiers Of the world today
learned when very young how hard 1t
was to get money and with that knowl'
edge came experience in how to save
money which is after all the secret OF

THRIFT.

The first state to make systematic
efforts to lower the cost OF living
through local thrift committees will be
Illinois, where a basis OF cooperation
has been reached by Mrs. Fred l..
Hatch, chairman Of the educational de-
partment of the state federation OF wo'
mems clubs and the American society
for thrift. According to Mrs. Hatch.
many thousand of dollars worth OF
fruits and vegetables waste and rot on
the ground and in other cases garden
plots 20 uncultivated, while their OWL
ers pay out good money for the out
put of factory and cannery. famllles
in moderate circumstances, VINO
pay as they go, are deprived of nutri-
tive and appetizing foods. within q
few miles of Chicago many barrels OF
fruit and vegetables are permitted 10
waste" Mrs. Hatch declared. This ls
due in part to willful waste, but more
often to lack of knowledge of labor
saving machines and easy canning de-
vices and methods by which such pro-
ducts are satisfactorily handled" Here
is the proposed line of attack: Local
thrift committees are to be formed
with the assistance of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture to teach
wives and young girls up to late meth
DDS Of canning, preserving and pick
ling similar to those in the south which
have made such phenomenal success
that Mississippi soon will be shipping
500, 600 cans of vegetables and fruits
to supply those same Illinois famllles'

THE LIVE STOCK SHOW.

The farmers of Wapello county are
a live crowd. Their latest activity IS
the promotion of an association to hold
an annual live stock show in Ottumwa
at which the best animals owned by
the farmers of the county will be put
IN exhibition. IIn this way it Is felt
there will be added stimulus to the
raising of better stock in the county
thereby improving the standard OF the
stock and increasing its value 70 the
owners. The movement IS commend.
able. Iowa already raises NM pee
cattle, dairy cattle, horses, mules etc.
and ought to raise the very best. STOCK
shows develop an inclination to raise
the very best possible.

nor the dream of a superheated
imagination, to say some day she

Humboldt, the great explorer,

One acre OF irrigated land in
Arizona is worth FIVE acres OF the
most productive land located any.
where that has to depend upon
rainfall One acre OF irrigated
land will supply FIVE times the
food, and therefore will sustain
population OF five times as great
as a similar acreage dependent
upon rainfall.
Arizona already produces more
copper than any other community
in the world; has the greatest
copper mines and the greatest re-
duction works, and no man can
over estimate the wonderful future
awaiting this magnificent state.

Our track record of 1874 made
by Dan Patch in 1907 is one OF
the lowest in the U. S. There
have been four different miles
made on the Arizona track in less
than two minutes each, and ten
separate and distinct miles in 2:o2
or less. This speaks volumes for
any track.
Last year, Arizona had more
running horses on the fair grounds
than there was ever at any fair in
the west in the last ten wears.
This has encouraged the Fair

offered, and the outlook is for a
repetition of the high class racing
that distinguished that department
last year. The running races are
held upon the half mile track and
do not interfere with the program
scheduled for the mile track.
In the last few years, Arizona
has become the Mecca of the great
automobile drivers OF the country.
Since 1909 great road races have
been run from the coast to Phoe-
nix. The Los Angeles Phoenix
road race is regarded as an annual
classic by the automobile owner.
Last year an additional road race
was run from Ell Paso to Phoenix
and this year there will be three
great road races; Los Angeles to
Phoenix, FL Paso to Phoenix, and
Albuquerque to Phoenix, with
nearly $4,000 hung up in purses.
Also there will be two great
motorcycle road events, one from
the coast to Phoenix, and the other

Apache county, Arizona, the race
will go through the towns and
cities OF St. Johns, Holbrook,
