gales and Globe delegations to the ninth annual convention of the A-i- zona Cattle Growers Association are battling for the 1917 convention for their cities.
 Collector of Customs at Nogales. Charles F. Hardy fired the first yer bal volley yesterday during the alter noon session oi the meeting when he stated that Phoenix. Tucson and Globe were great cities for Young Mems Christian Association meetings and Sunday school conventions bu. would never do for a real cowboy gathering. Nogales and Prescott he stated are the only two real places in the State for a bunch of rough cow men" to meet and have real good time.
 Answering Hardy, Joe " Prochas- Ia, of Miami. wcll-known all over the State, arrived in the city yesterday with an invitation from the 35,OO0 citi- zens of Gila and Pinal counties to the cattle growers to meet at Globe next year. Prochaska who is district dep uty grand exalted ruler for the Ari- zona Elks. is fortified with an address which ne intends to make before the convention today in al effort to cap ture the 1917 meeting for Globe.
 In the delegation from Nogales are Harry Saxon, Sam Knight, Charley Fowler. Thomas NJ. Cummings, Ra- mon Elias and Joseph E. Wise, all prominent cattlemen. They are all on the job and fighting for votes. They pass out card bearing the fol lowing inscriptions: Have one with us at Nogales-l917. We have the goods" The Nogales boosters prom ise a good time 10 the cattle growers.
 Prochaska and his teammates in tine contest for the convention, John Armour. A. C. Webb, Harry Shute, Frank Snute and Mark Hicks, have a ready answer to the Nogales card ol introduction claiming that Globe ic in the only county in the State where liquor can be shipped. in for personal use The Globe boys were on the job yesterday and last night promis- ing the cattlemen a good time and all kinds of good things if they would give them the 1917 convention.
 Today the question will be decided during the general business meeting and the verdict is anxiously awaited for tine cowmen stand about half and half for the two cities.
 Xxi Vi" Zip, Yip," and hundred other cowboy yells greeted every speaker during the second days ses- sion. The cattlemen's convention IS different. Doctors may meet, editors may gather, and miners congresses may assemble but none Of them arc like the boys that ride the range. The spirit of the big outside, the open air. and the ranges predominates. No convention was ever like that of the livestock men. The entire city is i'm bued with it and the people are enter taining royalty while the cowme1 come back in a manner that is harl 10 beat. From all appearances they are having the greatest time of their lives.
 Probably the most important buSi- ness taken up yesterday was the ra:s- ing of funds for running the assoc.a- ton during the ensuing year, $2,c70 being secured in about F minutes by subscription. For the American Ma tional Livestock Association S35O was raised. D. A. Millett of the Fl Paso Chamber Of Commerce while placing the financial question before the mcc,- ing told the cowmen few humorous and entertaining stories.
