Sadie Grimm of Winnipeg, Canada. In

plenty of fresh air and exercise are the
greatest health givers. And to the per-
son who works in the city, the motor
cycle offers one of the quickest, most
economical and most pleasant ways of
getting this exercise and fresh air. On
the tWo-wheeler, one can take spin
into the country after working hours
in the evening or early in the morning,
and Sundays and holidays can be spent
entirely out of DOORS
One Of the most exciting rides ever
taken by Miss Grimm occurred last
fall. She was jogging along the coun-
try road some miles from Winnipeg
when she came upon large crowd in

Ms. Frank T. Howard, superin-

with Mr.. Heath to photograph every
one of those babies at fifty cents
each, if they are presented at his
studio, corner Adams and First ave-

photogl apis will be grouped accord
ing to age and contest, into four
divisions and each group framed fo'

Trade and state fair offices. also to
be exhibited at the state fair this
fall
The babies who won prizes are re-
quested to be taken wearing their
ribbons, thus to distinguish them and
that they may be specially placed in
the pictures. Both "prettiest' and
better" babies are eligible and APP
plicants should give babies ages and
addresses at the studio when the
photographs are taken.

What better advertisement could
Arizona have than its native sons

will be hung groups of photograp hs
of the best and prettiest babies in

of the most interesting features OF
the fair is already being evidenced
by the attention and preparation that
is being made for the event in sew

That Maricopa county is not to
be behind in this exhibition is DEM

EMERGENCY STATUTE
TO AID FARMERS

Austin, Tex, Sept.-When Gov
ernor Colqultt signed the emer-
gency warehouse bill today, which
provides for a system of state
owned cotton warehouses, he gave
to Texas the distinction of being
the first and only State in the
Union to aid her farmers by legis
larive enactment during the pres
tnl European crisis The Legisls.
ture was called together in extra
ordinary session to consider this
one measure and the bill was
promptly passed by both houses
by more than two thirds majority
necessary 10 this State to enact
an emery ency law. The emergen.
cy bill became a law when signed
by the Governor, but it will prob
ably be substituted by a perma
nent statute when the Legislature
meets iD regular session next Jan
nary.
The act is of vital importance to
the Texas farmers, as it Will ena.
ble them to hold their cotton until
1t can be profitably marketed.
Wheat, oats, corn and other non
peril liable farm products can be
stored, but the law was enacted
primarily to meet the cotton stu
alton, as this staple constitutes AZ
per cent of the value of the annu
al agricultural production of this
State and 20 per cent of the
worlds cotton crop is raised in
Texas.
