GOOD CROPS ARE
 POSSIBLE IN THE
 FAR NORTHLAND

WASHINGTON. Oct 29. - That crop production was be practical far north or the Arctic Circle is one of tho interesting facts brought out by a report on a reconnaissance soil sur vey of Alaska soon to be issued. This embodles the results of study of the soils of a vast area ln Alaska by experts of the bureau of soils made tor the purpose of determining the possibilities of agricultural develop ment
 It was found that gardening is ear. rled on and grass thrives in .laslo, up to and north of the Arctic Circle, Tn addition 1t is shown that the cli- mate and soils of Finland are very similar to those of Alaska, the lati- tude of the two regions being prac- lcolly identical In Finland a num- bor Of crops are grown to a consider able distance north of the Arctic Circle
 Barley, for example, is generally grown as far north as sixty-eight de- grees and thirty minutes. OF two de- grees north of the circle Almost 7- 100000 acres in Finland were under cultivation and in improved meadow in 1901 That country hgs populo- ton of 2,14O.OOO. as reported in 1911. and about S5 per cent. of this number live outside the cities Crop produc- tion. stock raising and dairying are important industries.
 This comparison with Finland and another with parts Of Siberia arc giv- en by the government to demonstrate the possibility of agricultural devel- opment in Alaska.
 Sanitary Progress
 The federal public health service takes the ground that "education is the road to sanitary progress" To this end it has established a stereop- tican loan library probably the first of It's kind which is daily sending out slides upon the request of sani- tarians. educators and other persons interested in the promulgation of the doctrine of person hygiene and pub lie sanitation.
 The officials of the Nebraska state fair desired to stage a series of popu- lar lectures on hygiene and sanita- ton They applied to the surgeon general of the federal health service for slides. Catalogues containing photographs of the slides, and descrip- tive matter thereon were immediate ly forwarded to the officials of the fair, together with @ blank on which to make request for additional slides. The slides asked for were packed and shipped and after being used they were returned to this city In this way a large number of people have had an opportunity to receive im- portant information in pleasing manner.
 The loan library covers wide range of subjects. from sanitary con- ditions in Alaska to yellow fever There are special collections on the disease of children. hoolSworm, lep- rosy. malaria, milk production, rural schools. smallpox. tropical diseases tuberculosis and typhoid fever -(W w. Jermane In Seattle Times)

A cENruRY OE
TROUSERS HAS PASSED

-t-
 Men have worn various forms of blfurcated neither garments since the beginning of recorded history, but 1t Is asserted upon reliable authority tha. the first trousers of modern cut were worn by Q London tailor in 1875 Added and abetted by the Duke of Wellington. this enemy of his sex and of the human race nude the un- sDealmbie garment fashionable and men have been in bondage in trou- sers ever since.
 IT there Is something the direct op- posiie of Q monument it ought to be erected-or dug-to that London tail or. It is recorded that he was mob bed upon his first appearance in pub Tie wearing his diabolical invention. It is difficult to understand the lem iency Of the Britisher of that day in permitting the fellow to escape with his life. It is even more difllcult to understand how the wretched gar ment was allowed to come into gener- al use.
 It is chronicled that the Duke of Wellington himself was refused ad- mittance to ball when he appeared in long trousers. Thus was awaken. ed a suspicion that the pugnacious hero Of Waterloo thereupon used all his power and prestige to make the men of Europe which he claimed to have saved. wear the sartorial abom- nation. The Duke. ono lancies, was a convert to what is no wcalled "ef- ! ficiency." He was mad about the saving of time. motion and energy. And the sole appeal of long trousers was in the fact that they enabled a man to dress-or rather to cover him self-in about half the time required by knee brooches and stockings.
 But the Duke was poor logican, at that. If the saving of time and energy were the sole desideratum, the kimono has trousers beaten As a matter of fact there has never been any reasonable excuse for trousers. They offend art and utility Perhaps the reason of their being is that man despairing of rivaling woman of lovli- ness. determined to make himself SO ugly as to fascinate by the wierd horror of his ensemble.
 Any man who suggests that the cen tenary of long trousers be celebrated will of course be shot at sunrise. However. on second thought, it is clear that the only adequate way now to punish the inventor of the garment is to represent him by means of a statute of heroic size in the act of wearing trousers. Imagine with what glee any self.respecting, long-suffer- ing and revengefui sculptor would create such @ statute of the enemy of man and of the sacred art of Phidias and Michael Angelo

TOMMY RIGGS FOOLS
 UNFORTUNATE CARIBOU

While on his trip, riding along the Nenana. about 45 miles up the river
 says the Fairbanks Weekly Times
 Commissioner Riggs had the good for
 tune to sight a caribou just across the stream He took @ shot at him
 but the distance was too great to se- cure the result he wished Both the caribou and the commissioner moved on down the river losing sight Of each other for the time being. Then the caribou decided to take a chance anyhow and started across tho river
 The commissioner let him across and then just as he raised his enormous spread of horns, potted him with a net shot AS the caribou Jumped back Into the river some dlmculty was met in fishing him out about four miles down, but the deed was accomplished and the surveying crews were furnished with close to 800 lbs. of the choicest meat the North affords.

CHANCE DATES
 0F STATE FAIR
Members of Commission Announce Great Exposi- tion Will Ge Held No- vember 15 to 20 Instead of November s to 13.

1 Change in the dates for the 1915 Ari- zona State Fair was decided upon yes 1 terday by J. R. Henderson and H. R. l Wood, members of the Fair Commis- ! sion, in conversation over long dis tance telephone.
 Secretary T. D. D.Shaughnessy was in structed to notify the newspapers, horsemen and secretaries of other state fairs that the date for this years fair would be November 18th to 20th, in- elusive, instead of November to 13 as previously announced. This will be the third week in November and the change in the date is occasioned by the fact that the great fall race meet ing of the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposition at San Francisco ter inmates on November 13 It is an as Sured fact that all the great eastern stables will be represented at this meeting well as the best horses on the Pacific coast.
 It Is the plan now of the fair com mission to arrange to run a special train with free transportation from San Francisco to Phoenix, bringing ap- proXimately twelve carloads of the best horses in theWorld for the harness races this year.
 We are planning many new features and attractions for this years fair" said Secretary Shaughnessy today and while we are disappointed that the legislature saw fit to reduce the state tair appropriation for the en- suing two years, still we know how to take joke and are going t0 give just as good a fair as ever. In order to do so however, we will have to call on the business men newspapers and every booster in the state to help out in a boosting campaign. Our motto will be See Arizona First" and spend your vacation at the big state fair this fall.
 We will start our advertising cam paign soon and intend to see that Ari- zona is represented at the Panama Pa cific exposition in so far as the state fair and the resources and industries of the state as exemplified by the state fair are concerned. Our advertis- ing on the Pacific coast this year should bring several thousand people to Phoenix during the time of the fair who are enroute east from California points"
 IL is probable that there will be two automobile days at the fair this year, as this form of amusement seems to draw larger crowds and pleases so many of our visitors. If this plan is decided upon, it is likely that 100 mile auto race, with at least five of the best drivers in the world will be staged on Saturday, the closing day of the fair

FOURTH WILL BE
 BIG DAY HERE!
Committees Being Formed and Plans Under Way for Monster Celebration of Nations Birthday - Will Excel Last Year.

Now that Decoration day has been safely tucked away thoughts turn to the next big holiday, the Fourth of July, and its celebration. As the Fourth comes on Sunday it means practically another three-day holiday and plans are now under way to hold the biggest celebration of the cay that Phoenix has ever known.
 Committees are now being formed programs outlined and schemes laid which will make it quite unnecessary for any denizen of the Salt River valley to leave it's confines in search of amusement. Beyond the fact that the celebration will be held at River side Park nothing has been made public; but in the course of the next few days most of the details will be given out
 It will be remembered that last year a record breaking crowd en- joyed the day in Phoenix and with the experience gained from that oc- casion it IS only reasonable to expect hat lessons have been learned and this summers event will profit by them.
 Fourth of July celebration in
 
 valley. Every merchant and busi- ness man is heartily in favor of it and as the indications are that there will be more stay-at-homes than ever before, it adds another reason why this years celebration should be made the biggest on record.
 One reason why the Fourth has been, to a certain extent, neglected in past years has been the lack of suitable place for a celebration; but last summer proved that ob jection had been done away with. With the big amusement park down by the river Phoenix has exceptional opportunities to stage a celebration that should draw people from all over the southern part of the state and it intends to take advantage of it. The coming Fourth of July will be one to be remembered.
