FIFTY BANKERS, MERCHANTS AND OTHER BUSINESS MEN
 ATTENDED.
DETAILS WILL BE ARRANGED
The Committees Report Included Data Secured From Texas, Okla homa and Louisiana State
 Fair Associations.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Plans for state fair for 1917 and a central state fair for 1916 to take the place of the Pulaski county fair in Little Rock, were made at a meet ing at the Hotel Marion Fifty bank, CTS, merchants and other business men, including officers and directors of the Pulaski County Fair Associa tion, attended.
 The meeting was called by com mittee of directors of the County Fair Association appointed few weeks ago by County Judge Joe Asher, president of the county asso- citation, to ascertain the feasibility of state fair in Little Rock.
 The committees report included data secured from the Texas, Oklano- ma and Louisiana State Fair Asso- citations. The reports said that the fairs at Dallas, Oklahoma City and Shreveport are more than self-susta1n, ing. However, they are conducted on 8 larger scale than would be the pro- posed Arkansas state fair for few years at least.
 All the speakers agreed that there is not sufficient time to prepare for a state fair in 1916, but favored the proposed state fair and recommend ed that preparations begin immediate ly for the 1917 state fair. The chair man was authorized to appoint a com, mittee of 15 to begin thls work and also to plan the 1916 fair.
 The fair proposed for Text year would be larger than the county ia.ir. The committee to be appointed by MT. Auten also will seek to liquidate the Indebtedness of the County Fair As sociation, probably by securing SUD- scriptions from Little Rock and Pu- laski county business men.

Pinedale, Ariz., May 81.
Editor HERALD,
Snowflake, Ariz.
Dear Sir:
After ten days work at Lin
den the prairie dog killers have
had great success. We got
about 80 per cent of the dogs in
the country we went over. |
will give you the formula for
mixing the dog killing poison for
the benefit of those off the Forest
reserve:
Mix one heaping tablespoonful
of dry gloss starch in ! cup of
cold water and stir into one pint
of boiling water to make thin,
clear paste; add one ounce of
strychnine (alkaloid, one ounce
soda, one small teaspoonful of
sacheharine; add ! cup syrup;
mix we'll together; stir in to 16
quarts of white IS; m i x
thoroughly till every kernel is
coated. After it has dried on the
oats, put about one tablespoonful
to each dog hole. Good results
will come from same.
Respectfully yours,
J. Il. FROST.

LEGISLATURE TO RE-
CONVENE THIS WEEK

Phoenix, May 20. Governor
Hunt issued his call conyening
the legislature June first. He
provides for fourteen subjects as
follows:
The enactment of a land code;
legislation relating to irrigation
projects and permitting the con-
struction projects and permitting
the construction of reservoirs by
the state, the governor no doubt
having in mind the Lyman Re-
servoir in Navajo county recently
destroyed by flood; authorizing
the introduction into Arizona of
alcohol olforscientific and medicinal
purposes and enactment of stat
utes for the enforcement of the
prohibition amendment; the crea-
tion of a labor commission and
the creation of miners home;
amending the semi-annual tax
law as to the date it shall take
effect; providing for the estab-
lishment of additional superior
counts in counties of large popu-
lation: to appropriate money for
the salaries of the state land COM
mission; to make provision for
expenses Of elected county Off
cials in Cochise county; to enact a
county division law; to provide
by appropriation for additional
stenographed help in the incor-
porating department of the cor
poration commission and office of
the secretary of state, and to
amend existing laws as to court
procedure; it also provides for
the enactment of a levy bill thus
indicating his possible veto of the
levy bill just passed and sent to
him but on which he has so far
failed to act.
The governor does not expect
the mine tax bill to be introduced
under the subjects he has out
lined, although it is the opinion
of several of the representatives
that the provision relating to
semi-annual payment of taxes
may be utilized for this purpose.

They are at Concho at present.
1t is an old saying those that
have must lose." Silas went on
top of the mountain last week to
follow h e Indian reservation
fence to repair it, if so needed.
This was difficult task, as there
are still some deep drifts of snow
on the north side of the mountain.
Imagine how Silas felt when
he suddenly rode up to nine COW
brutes and thirty-fve head of
horses all dead in one bunch, lay
ing in all kind of shapes and po-
sitions. There was a horse lying
across a cow, another horse stand
ing up on his hind feet, with his
front parts doubled d O W n;
others leaning against trees. near
ly two feet in circumference,
eaten almost in two.
Silas thinks from the queer
shapes they were in they must
have died standing up. Most of
the horses belonged to Vernon
people. They had tried to come
out an old trail but the fence ran
across the trail, so they huddled
up and Starved to death. Just
east of them a f e w hundred
yards there is an opening in the
fence. Had they followed along
the fence they would have found
the opening and been alright.
The animals were found on the
east side of the knoll, at the west
end of Bia Don Juan.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS
FOR BOOSTING A TOWN

Building good houses builds a
good town.
Save a little money and save a
lot of worry.
Good roads lead not only to
town, but to money.
A nice front porch has prevent
ed many an old maid.
Be a live one and then the town
will never be a dead one.
The best plans a man can have
to the future are house plans.
When someone plans to help
the town, plan to help the plan.
A good way to make the world
better is to begin with the home
town.
A good town will do more to
keep the boys at home than good
advice.
A town is like perambulator::
it isn't much good unless it is
pushed.
If you spend all that you earn,
some other fellow is banking your
money.
Be like a ball player. 7 h e
thing he is always working for
is home.
Be one of the leaders of h e
town, if you can; but. anyway,
keep up.
Don't spend all your time tell
ing what you could do if you had
some time.
1t improves the soup to throw
a little pepper into it. Same way
with a town.
A town is like girl. It's
wonderful what a little fixing up
will do for her.
Let's not be trying to stop
something all of the time. Let's
start something.
If you would like to have some
body working for you, put a little
money in the bank.
Don't look for soft snaps; the
hard snaps are the ones that have
the ginger in them.
Don't spend so much time talk
ing wac that you haven't time
left to talk business.
Opportunity knocks once at
every mans door; better be at
home when the lady calls.
Many young man goes away
to seek his fortune when Fortune
is seeking for him at home.
Plaster your house and every
body will follow your example.
Lath and the world laths with
you.
You've got to be a citizen in
order to vote; but you've got to
do a good deal more than vote to
be citizen.
The big things were not all
done in the big towns. I h e
greatest poem in h e English
language was written in a coun-
try churchyard.
There is only one better man
than the man who gets behind
and pushes, in an effort to i'm
prove the town. and that's the
man who goes ahead and pulls.
