State Fair Will Be
Held Nov. Is to 20

Change in the dates for the
1910 Arizona state fair was de-
cloeo upon the other day by J. R.
henderson and H. R. Wood, mem
oers of the fair commission.
secretary I. d. Shaughnessy
was instructed to notify t h e
newspapers, horsemen and secre-
tarles of other state fairs that
the date for this years fair would
be November 18th to goth, in
elusive, instead of November 9th
to 18th. as previously announced.
Ihls will be the third week in
November and the change in date
IS occasion by the fact that the
great fall race meeting of the
Panama-Pacifc international ex-
position at San Francisco ter
inmates on November 13. It is
an assured fact that all the great
eastern stables will be represent
ed at this meeting, as we'll as the
best horses on the Pacific coast.
1t is the plan now of the fair
commission to arrange to run a
special train with free transpor-
tatlon from San Francisco to
Phoenix, bringing approximately
twelve carloads of the best horses
in the world for the harness races
this year.
I'VE are planning many new
features and attractions for this
years fair" said Secretary
Shaughnessy, land while we are
disappointed that the legislature
saw tit to reduce the state fair
appropriation for the ensuing two
years, still we know how to take
a joke and are going to give just
as good a fair as ever. In order
to do so, however, we will have
to call on the business men, news
papers 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. :"

Biggest Girl a Bride

The Union station at Kansas
City, Mo-, was turned into a side
show and many persons missed
their train in an effort to see Mrs.
M. A. Gowdy, Is years O d,
weighing 587 pounds and a bride.
She was married recently to M.
A. Gowdy, weighing 118 pounds,
tall and lank. Before marriage
the bride was Miss Josie Jolly,
"the biggest girl in the world. :"
1t may be nobody loves a fat
man, but there's men who love

During the month of May, 1915,
a total of 325 acres of land with
in the Sitgreaves National For
est, Arizona, were listed with the
Secretary of the Interior and will
shortly be opened to entry under
the Forest Homestead Act. The
lands thus listed were applied for
individually by three applicants,
and each one of these tracts was
examined by a Forest Officer and
found to be more valuable for
agriculture than for Forest pur-
poses.
Those whose applications with

during the month of May are:

In addition to this, 768 acres
were listed to applicants within

A New Colorado Law

The new law, which makes it
necessary to advertise the mar

newspapers in the county where
the parties live, will do away
with all this eloping nonsense,

about taking out licenses, which
now seems TO be a fad. The new

Nero, the fiddling fiend. with
his carelessness in the use Of
hre, never burned property in
all his pestilential career worth
one-half that destroyed when
the kaiser's troops applied the
torch to storied Louvain.
What has been done before
may be done again. The "Thir-
ty Years War" reduced Ger
many to cannibalism. The old
and crippled were knocked on
the had and eaten.
Women and children toiled in
the fields like beasts of burden
to raise crops to feed the people.
Family names were, lost de-
stroyed, forgotten.
A new order prevailed.
10 commemorate the d e a d
was a crime.
Why do the German people
stand by the war lord?
The answer is easy, It is q
matter of the hypnotic spell of
patriotism and the lure of the
crowd, combined with coercion.
We make virtue of the thing
we are compelled to do.
The marvellous recuperative
power of the Teutonic people is
proved by the fact that the Ger
man race was not wiped out of
existence long ago, like the Incas
or the Aztecs. The will to live
was strong and the new race
was ours.
Are we to go back to t h a t
black night of bloody medieval
ism?
Surely not! Our hearts are
with Germany-the Germany of
invention, science, music, edu-
cation, skill-but not with the
war lord. The emperor does not
represent the true Germany.
He symbols the lust of power,
the thirst for blood.
The crazy kaiser will not win.
The wisdom of the world backs
the allies, and Saint Helena
awaits.
1t must be so.
Germany will not be subju-
gated, but she will be relieved
of a succubus that has threat
ened her very existence.

There is said to be in Kentucky
a tree bearing each year a crop
Of walnuts and crop OF null
berries; and the curious pheno-
menon is accounted for by the
s,pposition that a mulberry seed
fell where a walnut lay in the
ground, and the young shoots
came up side by side and united
their forces into one solid trunk.
This supposition seems feasible
from the fact that the bark OF
the tree is on one side that OF
walnut and on the other that OF
the mulberry.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

It has taken two or three months Fand some necessarily strict nlea sures to handle the foot and mouth disease epidemic which spread through the fscountry, but through the methods ladopted il is possible for the govern ruent to announce at this time the lift ing of the quarantine over a greater part of the infected territory Such has not been attained without the sac
 riffce of a large number Of cattle and the expenditure Of several million dol lars much of which was caused by the foothold the disease had gained. To check it emergency measures were required and such precautions piled lED the expense, which. however, will not correspond to the loss which has '5een experienced by the cattle owners.
 There is a lesson in connection with the whole trouble. It was apparent at the start and has become moro so dur ing the intervening time and that is that the best way Of overcoming such spreading of the disease is to keen it out Of the country. The states and the country have authorities who arc supposed to be on the guard against such disease. If there is Iaxity' in jr- spection or a tendency to slight the duies of such officials such epidenics can be expected. It was to prevent just such conditions that federal and state Inspectors were appointed and
 IF the performance of such work is going to amount to anything, those tn whom it is entrusted must pay atten- tion to it or let someone else. It is folly to pay for the cost of preventing such epidemics and still he burdened lwltb the heavy expense of removing hthen1. because of ineffective grecaution.

 passed.
 Seventy-five out of 190 members of
 the House protested against the first

 was entered upon the journal of the
 House. The protest was based upon
 the grounds that the trustees would
 be disspoiled of their heads without q proper hearing, that the college was

 ference was required. and that the
 effects of the act would be to en-
 danger the college funds-by destroy

 was to make the college subject to every change of political party.

 Constantinople crowned its con gueror's life, as 1t has remained tine chief jewel won by Turkish arms: and, today the Ottoman is trembling lest this trophy of llis former ylgor, the vantage point of his oriental world upon the continent Of nureps, be won away from him and brought within the sphere of its native West again. The life which developed in this city since the possession Of the Turk, dating from 145A, is the sub -ject of paper pTepared by II. G-

WASTE CALLS FOR PREVENTION

When it is realized what Q. trcnen- dous amount of waste there Is each year from fires. the movement for fire prevention should a-air: deserving support During the past year the property loss in this country by fire reached the large total cf s216, 22t52s, 2as9, varying by TnonttE from ii to 2S mill lion While such indicates the loss which fires cause it eIoes- not begin to show what q tremendous amount of money is required for the m1ainten- afce of the army of fire fighters and their equipment. Placed together they would reach a staggering amount.
 In view of such facts it is but nat ura1 that advocates of prevention should set about their great task with greater determination. Even though it is impossible to show 6. steady de- crease each year in the fire loss as the result Of their work, 1t Is impossible to tel1 what might have been the year $ frs loss had they not used every opportunity for promoting the excel lent policy of prevention. It cannot be overlooked of course that each years growth of the cities of this country places a larger amount of property at risk. That the fire loss es do not increase in proportion there to IS one of the bits Of evidence that a good influence is at work. Efficiency in fire departments plays it's part cred itan1y but is an extremely valuable service which gets in it's work quietly but positively by. removing many of the causes before they are fully de- veioPed. The lessons of prevention too often come after there has been g. large loss by fire and it is realized what might have been done by the exercise of the proper amount of care and attention. The loss in every fire is an argument for prevention.
