most formidable contender for the

his first race at Boston, two weeks
ago, the Belgian rider fairly toyed
with the rest of the field. but condi-

Riders Hear War Tales.
The rain yesterday put a crimp into
outdoor training. and most OF the
cyclists spent the day tanning away
with the European riders who landed
yesterday. Moretti and Ellegaa rd
had some interesting yarns to spin
about personal experiences In Paris,
though of actual war news, Ellegaard
says. America hears more than the
residents in the war-stricken coun-
tries. The three riders experienced
considerable difficulty in getting their
bicycles out of France, as nearly
every sort Of conveyance these days
is commandeered by the government
for use in army service.

PUBLISHERS ASSN FEARS OLD
TIME NEWSPAPER WAR
Foreseeing a circulation war which
may develop into as dangerous a
scrap as the old war that left so many
broken heads around Chicago news
stands, the Newspaper Publishers
assn is working desperately to end
the trouble now existing between the
Chicago American and the Daily
News.
The first real trouble of the war
occurred last Friday when a general
scrap at Madison and 5th aV. result
ed in the arrest Of three men.
The trouble started when, over the
objections of the Chicago American,
the News began to publish weekly
pictorial review Of the European war,
to be sold for 10 cents a copy.
When the review made its appear
anee Thomas Smith, one Of the
Hearst circulation bosses, began to
get busy. One of the first newsboys
he approached was William Murphy,
who controls the stands at Madison
and 5th av. Smith told Murphy he
couldn't handle the pictorial books.
Murphy had different views Of the
matter and allowed the books to re-
main.
While Murphy was away from the
stand the books were thrown into the
street Murphy, upon his return, put
them back on the stand.
Friday night Smith came up to
Murphy and trouble started. It is
charged that Smith was accompa-
MED by several policemen who made
no attempt to avert trouble. A hot
fight progressed until it became so
bad police action was necessary.
John Anderson, James Connors
and Harry Murphy were the men ar
rested. Their cases were continued
until Feb. 16. Officers are now
searching for Thos. Smith, for whom

 MILE AUTO GRILL FOR FAIR
Action of Supreme Body Gives Official Standing to Great Race. Makes Records Worth While. Biggest Event In Year for Southwest. Long. est Race of Kind Ever Run,

The great dirt grind of 15O miles, the longest automobile race ever held on mile dirt track, which has been planned for the Arizona State Fair this year, as the attraction for Auto mobile Day, will assuredly be held. This is the announcement that comes from George Purdy Bullard, superin. tendent of the automobile department of the State Fair. Mir Bulard who applied to the contest board of the American Automobile Association for permission Co hold an official race. has received satisfactory answer to his request and the sanction" as it is called has been granted by this board of officials supreme in automo- bile circles in the United States
 Now that the sanction has been granted, no more doubt remains as to the presence of the great gasoline kings of the track, The purse hung up for this event, 5000, is something worth while, and then 1t is in addition the biggest thing In automobile races to be held In the southwest this year. In fact, 1t is the only thing in those select racing circles.
 The big fellows who have been thrilling the eastern fans by their deeds of daring will be on hand to give the same sort of thrills for the (Continued on Inside Page, Column 3

itions that have ever been held in the state
 The total purse on the roping con test amounts to s450. A like amount figures in the championship broncho riding contest, whilst all the other sections of this interesting part of the exhibition have been provided for in the same liberal manner Each day there will be prizes for every contest.
 Numbers of cowboys from all over the southwest have announced their intention Of attending the State Fair for no other reason than that they want 10 attend this portion of the weeks activities. So important and interesting does the Fair Commission consider this portion of the program that while the events are going on in front of the grandstand there will be nothing else to detract from the i'm portance of these events.

Entries received at the office of the secretary of the Arizona State Fair for the 1915 harness events indicate that some Of the fastest horses fin the United States win be here this year Some of the most consistent winners and the best performers on the big circuits are entered for the State Fair meeting this year.
 In addition to the regular entries, arrangements have been practically completed to bring the famous pacer Directum 1, 1856 3-4 and the great trotter Peter Volo 2:02 to Phoenix for exhibition purposes; they are entirely too fast to be allowed to enter for com petition in the classes at the State Fair They will be engaged as ex- hibition horses, and as two Of the most wonderful horses in the United States, (and incidentally the whole word), they will be paid guarantee for daily exhibitions at Phoenix, with a further offer of s1,000, for either horse that lowers the world record on the Phoenix track.

 tionai Standing.

Immediately to the left of the main entrance to the fair grounds. on the inside of course, and stretching the whole length of the grounds on the west is located the sheds for the cat. tie and horses. The increase in in terest in this department of the state accommodations in recent years has made 1t imperative for additional ac- commodaiions to be placed here for this portion of the exhibition. It is also worthy of note that more animals from outside the state are being brought in for display and sale pur- poses, there being two reasons for this. One of them Is the added value that now goes with the distinction of having won premium at the Arizona State Fair, and the other is the con stant demand upon the part of the breeders of the state for high class animals of all standard breeds.
 The State Fair Commission recog- nizing the importance of this industry in Arizona has made generous pro- visions in the prize lists for the win. ners in this department. but probably of greater interest is the fact that tho breeding associations of the coun- try in order to stimulate the best blood in cattle offer numbers of spe- cial Inducements In the shape of prizes for show animals in these classes. The Arizona Fair takes advantage of this also and has qualified as an agricul. tural fair in order to obtain these (Continus cd on Back Page. Column D

 spirited bankers and business men could possibly do in the 20 tick-free counties would be to start a campaign to get out and buy 100 dairy cows for each of these counties. In some counties there is goodly supply of dairy cows in some portions of the couty while in other portions there are very few cows fit for dairy purpo- ses. This is the month for the right kind of a campaign and the Extension Division of the University at Fayette- vile will be very glad to assist any who wish to help in this matter.

GOV. PARDONS
 ROBERT LANCASTER
Former Attache 101 Ranch Show Convicted Forgery in Hot Springs last April Freed Pro- vIded He Leaves Arkansas.

Little Rock, Oct. 16.-Robert Lam caster former attache of the 101 Ranch, has been pardoned from the penitentiary on condition that he re- turn to his home in Texas and never come back to Arkansas. He was con victed at Hot Springs last Auril of forgery, after he had been in jail five months, and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. The pardon was recommended by the trial judge, Scott Wood, and Gov. Ferguson of Texas.
 A pardon was also granted to w. R. Grady, of Lee county, who was fined $100 and costs for running blind ti- ger. It appears that he was formerly a Memphis saloon man, and when the saloons closed there he ran boat on the Mississippi, hauling freight and towing logs. He stored on board a small stock of groceries and some in- toXicants. While he was in a hospi- tai in Memphis, an employe broke open a box of whiskey and sold several drinks, for which he was sentenced to the county farm. When Grady re turned, he, too, was arrested and con- victed, although he claims the sales were made against his express orders.
 Lee Wright, convicted Sept. 20 in the Argenta Municipal Court, of vio- lating the over-draft law, and fined $50 and 90 days on the farm, was par doned.
 A pardon was granted to K. W. Bar rett, of Argenta, who was fined $25 and costs in the Little Rock Municipal court on a charge of violating the over-draft law. He was accused of having cashed three checks. He was convicted in one case, and pardoned, then arrested on the other two cases, and fined again, and pardoned a sec ond time.

Plant at Least One Tree This Fall

Farm and Preside, the national farm paper published in Springfield, Ohio, advises all that can to plant at least one tree this fall Following is the suggestions:
 "Twenty-fve dollars would plant and care for at least five elm trees for a ten-year period. It is a moderate estimate to say that, at the end of the second year, building lot would be worth hundred dollars more for their presence. At the end of twenty-five years no man who owned the land on which they stood would take a hun dred dollars apiece for them. Plant an elm or a maple near your home this fall. and look upon it as a hun dred-dollar endowment policy, matur- ing in 1940, with no premiums after the first year.
 No one thinks of shade trees as a profitable crop, and yet, of all vege- table growth cultivated by the hand of man. none renders a more generous return"
