Foolish Trading

AS producers and builders, the
American people excel all pre-
vious civilization and we are a
present day marvel in business
efficiency, but in dealing with
foreign countries we are a sorry
lot of traders. Ever since VIM.
Penn traded the Indians a hand
full of trinkets for what is now
the State of Pennsylvania, the
American people have been sell
ing their birthright to foreigners
for a mess of pottage, so to
speak.
We export over $50, 600, 900 of
cattle and their products per
annum, which feeds the nations of
Europe, and our American heir

rule, absolutely worthless in

crate and keep them in repair
than it does to run our cotton
mills. European royalty puts
the black sheep of it's families on
the block and our rich American
girls buy them and we virtually
exchange railroads, wheat fields

then try to secure any additional
necessary financial assistance
from the county supervisors and
the business men of the county.
1t is highly desirable that the
county supervisors provide sufi-
cient funds for this work. Of
course it will be impossible to
place farm advisors in several
counties at once because of the
lack of funds. However, ac-
cording to the terms of the
Smith-Lever Act, Arizona will
receive every year until 1922
about $1740 additional, provided
the states appropriates an equal
amount. This would amount to
$3480 increase each year which
could be used wholly or in part
to assist additional counties or
districts in securing farm ad-
visors.
The Agricultural Extension
Service through it's farm ad-
visors will visit farmers and
advise them in regard to soils,
crops, buildings, layout of fields,
irrigation bitches, etc., livestock
and domestic science; it will
provide lecturers and judges of
crops and livestock, assist the
the farmers to organize, help
them in the grading and market
ing of their crops, promote boys
and girls agricultural clubs,
form cow-testing associations,
conduct farmers Institutes and
operate the agricultural demon
stration train. The present per-
sonnel of the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service consists of Prof.
Stanley F. Morse, Superintend-
ent and Farm Advisor on Farm
Management, Soils and Crops;

Advisor on Livestock.

The Copper and the
c. and A. Stakes

AS was announced early in the
season. the State Fair Commits
sion named the 2:10 pace THE
Copper Queen Stake" and the
PIP trot the &C. and A. Stake, {"
as appreciation of the splendid
support these two great mining
properties had given the Arizona
State Fair. Each class carries a
purse of $4,000.
At the same time Secretary
G. B. Wood made the prediction
that there would be more entriesin
these two races than in any two
others at the State Fair. So far
the records bear him out in this
prediction. Already there are
seventeen entries in the 2:12 trot
and twelve entries in the 2:10
pace.
f" The fine thing about these
entries" says Mr.. Wood, is,
that every horse in each race is
crackerjack. Every horse has
had a thorough test and has
made good somewhere, before
he was entered"
These races will occur on the
same day, FriGay, November 13,
and it is going to be a mighty
unlucky day for every horse in
each race except one, because
only one horse in each race can
be winner. Still it need not
be so unlucky, for there are four
divisions o f the purse. And
there will be a division on each
heat, so it is possible that quite
number of the horses can each
get slice of the money.
The entries in the PIP trot re-
present nine different states, and
there are eight different States
represented in the 2:10 pace.
Entries close October 1st, and
there are six weeks for entries
to come in. Probably as many
entries as have already been
made are yet to appear.
Special boxes will be reserved
for the officials of the two COM
panies after which these races
have been named, and they will
surely see "some" racing.

Not So Strange After All

You may think it strange that
so many people are cured OF
stomach trouble by Chamber
lain's Tablets. You would not,
however, if you should give
them a trial. They strengthen
and invigorate the stomach and
enable it to perform it's functions
naturally. Mrs. Rosie Rlsh,
Wabash, Ind, writes, Nothing
did me the least good until |
began using Chamberlain's Tab
lets. It is decidedly the best
medicine for stomach trouble |
have ever used. For sale by

LOWER EXPRESS RATES
Material Reductions Ordered by the

Will Become Effective Feb. 1.

Will Become Effective Feb. 1.
The new express rates ordered by
the interstate commerce commission
late last year and postponed until al
ter the holidays will go into effect
on February 1st in all parts of the
United States. The Southern Express
Company, operating in this section, is
affected by them equally with all 9TH
er express companies.
Material reductions are made by
these rates. In some instances the
reduction is as much as 80 per cent.
The average is about 20 per cent.
The scale of rates is s1mpllhed 10
the last degree also. All express mat
ter is divided into three classes by the
new schedule. In the first class is
merchandise. In the second are ar
ticles of food and drink, taking rate
which is rs per cent of the first-class
rate. In the third are books, anna
macs, calendars, etc. The Whole
country is divided into five zones, the
Southern states forming zone z. Eacn
zone is subdiYided into blocks 90
miles square. This arrangement
wines out all Of the inequalities IN
rate construction that had grown up
through years of development, and
pnts all points on equal footing with
reference to all other points in the
country.

NEW FURNITURE STORE.
Clifton Has Added a Large Stock to
His Other Business.

We have added to our already
large stock of hardware another
line-furniture. We don't claim to
buy furniture any cheaper than 9TH
er dealers, but we do claim to be in
position to sell it cheaper from the
fact that we are adding this furni-
ture line and are going to handle 1t
without any additional expense more
than we already have to run our
hardware business. So you can read
lily see that we have that advantage
in selling furniture cheap. We will
sell for cash or on credit. Our first
car with several local shipments have
already arrived, and several cars
more on the road. Just as soon as
possible we hope to have the com
pIetest stock of furniture in the

Ten Million People Are Facing Star

Soup Made of Straw.
Throughout the civilized world
much sympathy is being expressed
for Japan in her great double atfiic-
ton. With the devastation of the
southern part of the island Kiushu
by volcanic eruption, tidal wave, fire
and earthquake, following the fail
ure of crops in the northern section
of the empire, the imperial govern
ment is facing the most appalling
national problem of modern Japan.
In the former region thousands were
killed and injured and vast proper
ty loss sustained while in the north
100000 people are facing starya-
ton. 1t is estimated that $50, OOO.-
600 at least will be needed to afford
the necessary aid to all the victims OF
both disasters.
The less sensational affection seems
to be the most serious of the two
Probably not all of the 100000
people in the famine stricken district
are destitute, but it is certain that a
vast majority of them are. The or

provide only scant means against the
calamity of crop failure. A few weeks
sees his little surplus exhausted, and
then comes the bitter wrestle with
gaunt death. Thus it is that today
