State FalY The
 Greatest Of fThe
 Whole S0uthWes1
(eY THOMAS sHAUeHNEssY)

This department oI the State Gov ernment has grown from a meage1 beginning in 1905 to such amazing proportions and excellence that it now ranks among the greatest Fairs in the entire west.
 At the tenth annual fair held dur ing November of last year. there was shown what was admitted to be the greatest live stock show held west of the Mississippi. This was not in point of numbers of entries but in the excellence of the various eX- hibits, practically all the live stock shown being registered in the breed registry association of the United States.
 The exhibit of dairy cattle was es- pecially meritorious, Holsteins, ter seys, Dutch Belted, Ayrshires, Short Horn. Herefords and others being shown. With few exceptions, they were brought direct from their al- falfa pastures and had received no grain or feed other than alfalfa.
 No better exhibit of sheep than was shown at the Fair last fall can be produced anywhere.

Tof the most progressive, up-tothe minute, and fastest growing towns of the valley.
 Pounded in May, 1912, with only two or three friendly lights visible in the darkness of the desert night, Chandler has grown today to a town and trading center for a population
 Of 1000 people and for 10000 acres of cultivated land.
 .. Chandler has both grade and high schools, housed in modern brick buildings and having an enrolment of over 400 children. The most modern equipment is available for the classes in domestic science and manual training, and judged by re- suits, the Chandler schools rank among the first in the state. Chandler has four religious de- nominations doing active work, and two fratarnal orders, the WoodmeH of the World and Knights of Pythias, both having a substantial member ship.
 The first year of Chandler's growth the total amount of business trans acted by the merchants amounted
 to $43,0OO.GO. Only three years later,
 from May 1st, 1914, to May 1st, 1915,
 in spite of the' financial depression
 n other parts of the United States, the mercantile business of the town amounted to more than $311,000.00, While the business done by the local hotel more than doubled over the preceding year.
 Two thousand cows are milked within a radius of five miles of Chandler, and a creamery, ice and cold storage plant, will be in opera tion Ey August first.
 Eighteen hundred and seventy five bales of Egyptian cotton were ginned at the Chandler gin during the season of 1914z15, and forty-seven carloads

 Of the six states in the union that made increase in the number of sheep ! last year, it is a significant fact that Arizona made the largest increase thereby taking the lead in the entire United States in this important branch of live stock industry

WINTER HOMES
OF RICH WASHING

Thousands of Dollars Worth of Costly
Carpets and Furniture Boldly
Carried Away.

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE winter
homes of many wealthy residents Of
Washington, including that Of Senator
Iobaron h. Colt OF Rhode Island, have
been pillaged of thousands Of dollars
worth Of antique furniture, carpets, drap-
cries and other property. The fact be-
came known 20 the police yesterday
through the discovery Of more than
$1,000 worth of goods in second hand
stores.
Senator Colt Is said TO have lost out
OF his beautiful house on Massachusetts,
avenue several valuable pieces Of ma
hogany, mirrors. imported carpets and
tapestry. The antiques recovered TO this
time are now being held by the authori.

ARABIC HIT IN
STERN BY TORPEDO
Stated by Germany Liner
Sought to Ram I'm
der Sea Boat

Washington, Sept. ll.--President VIII
son devoted several hours yesterday to
study OF Germany's note on the sinking
of the Arabic. No official comment was
made, but it was indicated plainly that
the German explanation is disappointing
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, had assured Secretary Lans'
ing that full satisfaction would be given
if it was determined that German sub
marine sank the Arabic Germany's
statement that she could not acknowl-
edge any obligation TO grant indemnity
is not considered full satisfaction by
officials of this government. 1t is I'M
derstood that the United States gov
eminent would be willing to submit to
The Hague the question OF how much IN
dcmnity should be paid, but it is i'm
probable that it will consent to arbi-
trate the principle involved. An an
swer to Germany is expected TO go tor
ward promptly.
The newspaper text of the Berlin note
which stated that Germany refused to
admit obligation to pay indemnity for
American lives lost even if it should
develop that the submarine commander
was in error in thinking the Arabic
meant 10 ram him was widely com
nlented upon. Previous dispatches had
stated that Germany would offer TO SUBJ
nit the matter of reparation to The
Hague. limitations then followed from
high officials here that such a proposal
would be acceptable. However, there
had been no suggestion at that time OF
any proposition to arbitrate on the ques-
ton of the submarines right to torpe-
do a liner under circumstances described
in the Arabic ease. In their study OF
the new note, President Wilson and Sec
rotary Lansing will give consideration
to assurances recently expressed that
German submarines commanders had
been ordered to destroy no more liners
without warning.
The affidaits of the survivors support
the one received Immediately after the
attack from Zeila Coyington, one of the
passengers. He stated that just as be
came on deck torpedo was speeding
toward the stern OF the ARABIC from a
distance of approximately three hun
bred yards.
Naval officers point out that no sub
marine commander could believe that he
was about to be attacked or rammed
by a liner which was three hundred
yards ahead of his course. There has
been no dispute Of the report that the
Arabic was struck in the stern. IL she
had been torpedoed in the bow, officers
state, the German excuse might have
been received with some credence.

SUGAR DOWN HALF A CENT.
Retail Price Drops as Result of Ship
ment of Western Beet Product.

Boston, Sept. ll.--Follownig the re-
ceipt Of large shipment OF western
beet sugar, the retail price OF sugar
dropped half cent pound to six cents
in boston Thursday. The shipment was
the first of the sort ever received here,
and it was made possible by the increase
in the price of cane sugar because OF the
war. Under normal conditions it is not
profitable to ship beet sugar to New
England, because Of the low cost OF
marketing cane sugar here, and high
transportation rates from the West. 30
long as present prices for cane sugar
prevail, it is expected that western beet
sugar will continue to reach the local
market, and competition between the
two varieties may bring about further
reductions in the retail price, or at
least have steadying effect.

In making these pieces adhere, by try
ing the same piece over and over again

sense OF symmetry and always put a
red piece on one limb to match the

piece, though how they know red from
green in the dark pools where they
live is hard TO say, unless 1t is by
