LEARN WHAT YOUR BABY |S
 REALLY WORTH AT STATE FAIR

Not long ago a little child disap- peared from the home of a well-to-do eastern family The father offered ten thousand dollars for the child s return. A few days later, in the heart of New York's little Italy, the son of a struggling shopkeeper was kid mapped It's father, who accumulated a small capital by living on bread and macaroni and working fifteen hours a day for seven days a week, offered one thousand dollars for the return of the child!
 Was one baby worth ten thousand to it's father, and the other one thou sand? NO! The baby was worth just every dollar the father could rake and scrape together.
 That is the answer every father would make: My baby is worth ev- erything I have in the world" And mother would agree with him.
 Yet, isn't it strange that parents, who will pay all they possess as a ransom to kidnappers, do not realize that they are taking bigger chances of losing their babies because they do not know the best ways for the care and feeding of their children?
 The officials of the Arizona State Fair will have a remarkable feature on the fair grounds this year-a Better Babies Contest-which will not onS prove how much babies are worth to

CLOSEST POLITICAL
 CONTEST IN YEARS
(Continued from Page One)

(COntinued. from Page One) splendid fight to wrest the office of Assessor from Allen B. Ming, but the latter now appears to have a winning advantage.
 Undoubtedly the most spectacular and determined fight of the entire primary campaign was made by Judge w. F. Timmons for the office of County Attorney against Judge J. H. Westoyer, editor of the Morning Sun. Although Westoyer had the advantage of the strong Democratic machine be- hind him, he was handicapped for time to, make the race. MT. TimmOns made a. single-handed race, literally, he was afoot, having not single automobile engaged in his service yes terday to his opponents many. Judge Timmons comedies Westover's nOmi- nation by a possible thirty votes at the finish, but there is still room for doubt as to the outcome The race TOT thlS Ot11ce was c1ean one anu the winner is assured of the congratu- lations of every one. Judge Timmens owes his large vote to personal friend ships, as he was practically an inde- pendent candidate although running as a Democrat.
 Few votes were cast for the Non- Partisan candidates as there was but one contest in which Hon. John Doan was nominated for Justice of the Peace over w W. Woodman of the valley

REAL PROSPERITY
 NOTED IN COTTON

The cotton crop, by a trick of the weather, is foiling the bear" pro- phets and reaching up toward the record mark of 16,O00,000 bales.
 Ordinarily this would be as valid a cause for joy in the south as a bum- per wheat or corn crop in the West. And in spite of the dismay with which the cotton trade seems to have re- ceived the news, there appears to be no sound reason for pessimism.
 Japan. which ordinarily buys about 5OO.OOO bales in America, has an nounced she will need 2,O0O,0OO bales this year. The fact alone tends to steady the market But there is even greater significance in Japan's reason for wanting so much cotton.
 Japan wants to get hold of the trade in piece goods which, before the pres ent war, was almost monopolized by Germany and Austria. With their fac tories closed or isolated, there is an obvious opportunity.
 But if the situation tempts Japan to carry our cotton across the Pacific and manufacture it into goods that will then. for the most part, have to be shipped thousands of miles to find a market, why can we not make those same goods here at home.
 Never have our cotton manufactur- CTS. not to mention the makers of woolen and leather goods, had greater chance than at present to dominate domestic and foreign mar kets Transportation is slowly opening up. There should be no timidness on that score. We shall have ac- cess to the belligerent nations and to the great outside world which has hitherto depended on them for it's sup plies and may hereafter depend on us. The situation seems to promise prosperity alike to the South and to New England.

ND BREAD FAMINE IN
 J. 5. THIS YEAR

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. g. There will be no bread famine in the United States this year. The largest wheat crop in history has just been harvested and according to the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture the total production is approximately 911, ,OO0,0 ,000 bushels; nearly 150,O00, 900 bushels more than any previous crop produced in the United States. We have at least 25O,OO0,O ,OOO bushels of wheat which are not needed for con- sumption at home or for seed. The surplus production of the United States usually goes to Europe, but under present conditions, caused by the European war, this cereal cannot cross the ocean. About 75,000,000 bushels have already been taken for export, but most of it is being held at the ports of departure.
 Conditions across the water are not so encouraging. Europe tends to pre- vent the shipment of wheat from sur plus European countries to those which need imports-for example from Russia to France, and a famine there seems inevitable.

The farm is the power house of all progress and the birthplace of all that is noble
 The need ofs the rural communities today is intelligent and consecrated leadership.
 The farm Is the nursery of civili- zation and the parsonage of all reli- gious denominations.
 The farmer asks no special privi- leges. The business of farming only wants the same opportunities afforded other lines of industry.
 It is as much 2 duty or the country pastor to exhort us to own a home while On earth as it is to inspire us to build mansion in the skies.
 The rural press, the pulpit and the school are a trinity of powerful in- fluences that the farmer must utilize to their fullest capacity before he can occupy commanding position in pub lie affairs
