MINERAL EXHIBIT.

The importance of the mining in- dustry to the state mas never been overlooked by the State Fair commis- sion. Early in the history of the fair a building 10 itself and apart, was con structed for the better display of the mineral wealth of the state. This is in charge of Hon. James Goodwin of MaricOpa county, who gives a great deal of his time to gathering excellent samples from all the mineral fields of worth in Arizona.
 Additional interest is evidenced in the mining display this year on ac- count of the samples from the new gold fields of the state being on dis play. The Oatman and Gold Roads district of Mohave county, and the more recent workings of Yavapai county yielding precious metal. to say nothing of the copper in the Ajo coun- try, will all attract the visitors to the fair this year.

WOman'S Section
 Is Great Asset
Interesting Items on Places of Super intenoent Tafel, Who Heads Ac- tivities of Fair Sex at Big
 Show This Year.

That in the WomaG's Department will be one of the greatest assets of the State Fair is the logical belief of those who have heard the plans of the superintendent outlined in detail.
 Mrs. Tafel served for three years as an assistant in the department and her long, practical experience has been helpful 10 her in the radical changes she has deemed it wise to make. Ap- preciating the difficulties in creating an interest in an exhibit that must necessarily be like what has been shown time and again, Mrs. Tafel has first of all changed the floor arrange ments. Immediately upon entering the WOman's Building the difference in the department from former years will be apparent. Even new color scheme has been effected. A gay orange, white and apple green bunt- ing taking the place Of the dull tones used heretofore. To carry out uni form scheme, Mrs. Tafel is requesting those who are displaying needlewOrk to mount their exhibit on lemon vel low tissue paper. Special attention is being called to the fact that all the judging will be accomplished and prizes awarded the Saturday and Sun day preceding the opening Monday of the fair so that every department will be in order and ready for inspection of the visitors when the big gates are swung open.
 "I want the cooperation of every woman in the state said Mrs. Tafel, recently. If they will make a close study of the premium list, which by the way, is more attractive than ever, they will see that there is plenty of time l want to urge upon them the necessity of reading carefully and making notations of the day when the last entry can be made and also the day when the articles are to be deliv- cred to the fair"
 Mrs. Tafel, in explaining the entry system, said: Fill out the entry blank with the names of all the arti- cles to be entered, being sure to con form with the wording in the premium list, being careful to have the correct number of lot and class. Send or bring the entry list to the office and get your entry tags"

Bees and Honey
 Form Big Section
Arizona 8eekeepers Asked to Meet in Phoenix During Fair Week as Well as to Display Products of ln- cessant Little Winged
 Workers.

The BeekeepeTs of Arizona are to be asked to come to the capital city during the week of the Greater Ari- zona State Fair, November 15 to 20, for the purpose not only of exhibiting at the fair, but for the added purpose Sf organization into a state body which shall have the interests of the bee keepers at heart, and which shall work for the interests of this impOr- taDt industry.
 1t is not generally known. but the taxable value of the bee and honey industry in the state exceeds that of either hogs or poultry. In view of the number of chickens in the state and the value of the eggs that are gathered daily, this is somewhat of a statement, but the figures are what tell the story. These are the figures: The poultry valuation is 52,5S6: the hogs s59,2S3; whilst the bees and honey run up to S63,599. or quite a difference.
 Figures such as these which are official, place this industry as one of the important of the agricultural sec tions of the state, and the exhibition at the State Fair then will be some thing representative of an important industry. Last years display was most creditable one. It occupied a prominent position in the dairy build ing. which is likely to be the location this year. Superintendent NJ. F.. Shrum is working hard on this section and will have a fine display on hand by the time the fair opens.
 Interest, however. centers around the downtown meeting which will likely be held on Wednesday evening of fair week in the rooms of the Cham Der of Commerce. At this time the problems of the beekeeper will be dis cussed and much light thrown on the situation President Fennemore of the

 Canines at State Fair.

Fred Petit of Albuquerque, N NJ, as judge of the Dog Show this year Dr. Petul judged the show last year, but this is not his sole distinction.

There will be no dearth of carnival features at the Greater Arizona State Fair in Phoenix on November l5-i6- 17-lS-l9-2O.

SPEAKING OF HOGS
Special Attention to Be Given the
 Four-legsed Kind at State Fair

One of the industries of the Salt River valley that has attracted more than local attention in the past is that of raising hogs for market The splen- did climate and the abundance of pas turage and green food that can be supplied here all the year round make hog raising one of the lucrative branches Of animal industry that can be engaged in in the Salt River val ley, and in fact in nearly every agri- cultural portion of the state. Know. ing this. the State Fair Commission early went on record as one of the supporters of this sort of business and has encouraged it at every opportun- ity.
 IL is not unlikely that. with the eN- ception of the cattle department. there are more special prizes in this depart ment than in any other of the fair. Recognized standard breeds are pro yided for in the premium list, while the National Duroc association, the National Bershare association and the American Hampshire Swine assoCia. .tion all offer special cups and prizes iGraud silver trophies are offered by lthe two latter organizations for the | best in the respective classes. There Dlre many other special prizes also.
 There will be sufficient work done on the hog pens this year to evidence the fact that further appreciation of the industry is being shown by the State Fair Association. Lin B OTme is superintendent of this department.

POLICING THE GROUNDS.

The policing of the grounds of the State Fair will this year be in the competent hands of Col. Charles w Harris, adjutant general of the state, who will employ National Guardsmen as grounds police. Detachments will be on hand from the various com pdnies of the state for this work Upon several occasions National Guardsmen have been used in minor capacities at the State Fair grounds with excellent results. The need Of military dis cipline in handling the Fair police force has been apparent, and the em- ployment of the National Guardsmeu will meet this difficulty. soldiers encampment will be established with in the grounds, where the citizen sol diers will stay during their tour of service.

Gold Medal Babies

 Arizona's Finest Crop.

The Better Babies Contest has ar rived to the dignity of a building for itself.

One Of the many elegant spaces un- der the grandstaud will this year De occupied by a Food Products show, something of an innovation for this part of the country. In this show the merchants of the state will display the best food products in which they deal, making a speciality Of those products which have a national reputation for purity, not forgetting also the prod ucts that are prepared for market in Arizona.

Poultry Show of Arizona State Fair Largest Between Dallas and Pa cific Coast. Aristocrats of Yard and Roost Always
 

The annual display of Poultry at the Arizona State Fair is the largest in the Southwest. There is nothing that equals it between Dallas, Texas, and Los Angeles. California. and not often is il that these two cities hold anything that overtops the Arizona dis play very much. The quality of the birds that are shown at this poultry show equals anything in the West, s..a ]: !s Sct uncommon to have breeds on display that are the only ones of their kind in the country west of the Rocky Mountains.
 There has been a great improve ment in the class of birds that show at the Arizona State Fair. A few years ago anything that had feathers on, was considered a chicken for display purposes, but now owing to the i'm. petus that is the direct result of these unbuilding chicken shows, the majority of people in the state who keep chick ems at all, on the back lot or on the ranch. keep fine bred stock, some thing that they can take pride in as well as make profit from.
 This year the poultry show will be graced with five special cups, silver trophies, which will, in a measure, more than make up Tor the sIlgnt loss Tn the premium money. Birds of nearly all varieties, standard and man. standard will be shown. The State Fair is the most valuable medium of ad- yertising poultry that the raisers of Arizona have. Fanciers from all over the four states exhibit at this show. They would not attempt this, were not the prestige of winning at the Arizona Poultry Show worth a great deal more to them in the form of advertising than the actual return in money.
 Not the least interesting part of the exhibit this year will be the display of turkeys. ducks and geese. This de partment always attracts large crowd because there is always a demand for good birds. Special enclosures are made for these as well as for pheas- ants and pea fowls. Superintendent Powers, of the department. is hard at work and expects to have fine show.

A. 4. 4. SANCTIONS

(Continued from First Page) Arizona motor fans. Cooper, Oldfield, Resta. DePalma, champions of tiller and tire, whose names have become household words for deeds of daring. will be on hand this fair week, show ing Arizonians how the trick is done.
 4 number of these men have been to Arizona and raced before. Indeed, Barney Oldfeld made a worlds un- official record on the big mile circle at the fair grounds, but still DePalma and Resta, the two men who have been the doers of things this year. have never appeared before Arizona grand stands. Their coming alone will i'm mediately place the event on a plane of an international contest, and the records made, if any, will stand as the official records the world over until better ones are made under the same conditions.

BREAD AND PRESERVES.

Bread and preserves form an almost staple diet for the youngsters on the farms in Arizona For two reasons one is that the girls are all being brought up to be good farmers wives and cooks, and the other is that fruit grows here in abundance.

Under the management of Joe V. Prochaski of Miami, a splendid pro gram of boys sports will be given dur ing the entire week or the fair. There will be pony and burro races for money prizes, and then there are half mile bicycle races as well, to say nothing of the ten mile marathon for amateurs. This race does not disqual- fly any young school boy who may wish to become an amateur athlete in after years, because medals are the prizes, gold, silver and bronze. See about them.
