SOUTH SIDE KIDS
 INVADE CAPITAL
Governor and Other State Officials Have Visitation From Students
 of Southside School

Seventy automobiles, carrying about six hundred school children from the city of Mesa, arrived in this city yes
 terday afternoon, and gave the resi-
 dents of Phoenix a lively example of
 what can be accomplished by the pub
 lie spirited citizens of an enterprising
 town when the aforesaid hustlers set
 out on an excursion that is to combine
 boosting and pleasure.
 The motorcade was planned pri-
 marily for the purpose of giving an outing to the Boy Scouts and the school children of Mesa but in addi- tion to giving the youngsters an air ing it turned out to be pretty much of an advertising stunt for the neighbor- ing city.
 The tourists arrived, here at three o'clock and after parading about the business section of the city. they pro- ceeded to the state capitol building and were given hearty welcome by i the state officials
 1 Responding to call for a short talk ] Governor Hunt appeared on the bal 1 cOny and delivered an eXtcmporan- eous address that brought forth much 1 applause from the listeners. Follow ! ing the governors speech the young l folks and a few of their elders explored every nook and cranny of the state i house and kept Custodian Jimmy Keen i busy replenishing the supply of drink ing water and paper cups. Tommy 1 Howard, the elevator attendant, soon | saw that he would be unable to cope 1 with the happy crowd which wished
 to be carried from one floor 10 another | and ran his elevator up into the top most regions of the building and did
 not venture from his hiding place un- til he was assuredfof his guests de parture by seeing the big line of autos , disappearing in the distance.

er than money. This trophy need not
necessarily be expensive. 1t should,
however. be something lasting. to
which the holder can point with pride.
Any breeder would be glad to possess
something Of this kind, the true value
of which is In what it represents.
The securing of competent men to
act as judges is an important consider
alton. This problem probably can be
solved comparatively easily by taking
up the matter with the animal hus-
bandry division of the state agricul-
tural college or with the stallion reg
istration board. Either of these bodies
probably will be willing to cooperate
with the local committee and furnish
efficient judges for the show.
Improvement In Quality.
When once established, it will be
found that the annual colt show will dc
much to bring about un improvement
in the quality of the horses raised in
the community. These exhibitions
held preferably at the county seat, will
afford possible prospective buyers ar
opportunity to learn something Of the
class of horses being produced In the
locality, and the community will thus
be benefited by the fact that it will
eventually have established itself as
a market for horses that will readily
sell at good prices.
There is every reason to believe that
the practice of holding annual colt
shows will become more general. The
fact that they have increased consid-
erably in the past few years is evidence
that they have not only proved popular
but profitable as well.
The movement through the country
today is not for more horses, but rather
for better horses. Whatever the fu-
ture demand may be, the man raising
the better class Of horses will receive
the higher price.

(From the United States Department Of
Agricultural
Colt shows are proving a great aid
In stimulating interest in the breeding
Of high-class horses. Next to commu.
nifty horse breeders associations and
state stallion license laws there is, per-
haps, no other factor that will so ma
terially assist in the improvement of
the horses Of the country. 1t Is only
In recent years that impetus has been
given to this very important feature In
connection with the rapidly-growing
movement for better horses.
At the present time colt shows are
an annual event in many districts Of u
number Of the states, chiefly where
stallion license laws are in effect. As
an illustration Of the popularity of
these shows and the keen interest man.
Tested in them by the people of the
farming communities. it is reported
that in 1915 no less than 25 colt shows
were held in the state Of Minnesota
alone. In some sections these shows
are held in the spring, but in ma
jority of cases the fall Of the year is
to be preferable for a number Of rea-
sons. At that time the heaviest part
Of the farm work is about over; and
with more time to spare, farmers will
take a greater interest in the event and
the object for which 1t Is held.
Feature Of County Event.
These exhibitions are invariably held
independent of the county fair, al
though there is apparently no reason
why show of this kind could not be
made an important and outstanding
feature Of the annual county event.
In some instances these shows were
inaugurated with simply one class for
grade draft foals and have gradually
grown until the classification is almost
as complete as that of the state fair.

DEVICE MAKES FOR COMFORT
No Longer Need Lazy Man Roll Out
From Warm Bed to Start
Fire in Furnace.

Nobody need run shivering to the
cellar in n house which has been
equipped with one of the new furnace
starters. The head of the house stays
in his warm bed and sets the furnace
to heating the house by merely press
ing a push button at his side. Or. if
if he is given to oversleeping, his alarm
clock will perform the same service
for him, says an exchange. The ap-
paratus for regulating the furnace con-
sists of Il weight attached by ropes to
the damper and drafts, light strip
of wood to hold the weight, two mag
nets. an armature and pulleys to les
sen the rOpe-friction. The strip of
wood which holds the weight is wide
at one end and pointed at the other.
The pointed end rests on a heavy strip
of soft iron which moves on two tin
rails. When the push button in the
bedroom is pressed a circuit is closed.
and the two magnets draw the piece
of iron, or the armature, from under
the supporting strip of wood, causing
the weight to fall down and pull open
the drafts. An alarm clock may be
used to take the place of the push-but
ton. The clock can be set to complete
circuit at Il certain hour and then
open the furnace drafts.

All men are born free and unequal.

However, such a large classification is
not possible in most localities, as the
larger amount of money necessary can
not be raised. The best plan, and the
most beneficial one, perhaps, would be
to hold an exhibition for weanlings and
yearlings only. If the community or
district has a fairly large number Of
purebred horses, separate classes could
be provided for purebreds and grades.
The question of having classes for
both light and heavy horses will de-
pend upon whether sufficient attention
is being given to the production of both
classes.
Financing an Exhibition.
In securing the necessary funds to
finance such an exhibition as a colt
show u number Of different plans have
been suggested. In Minnesota one
show ia financed by the stallion own
ers, each giving $25 in cash prizes, to
be divided among the colts sired by
his stallion. Another plan is to have
the County Horse Breeders association
or the various farmers clubs contrib
ute sufficient money to finance the
show, while still another scheme is for
the local bank or banks to furnish the
money for premiums and other ex-
penses.
However, the most popular and COM
mon method Is to 60 among the bust
ness men of the community and secure
subscriptions in sufficient amount to
pay all expenses Of the show.
All premiums should be designated
by neat, but inexpensive ribbons on
which are printed the name of the
show, the year, and the classes to
which they belong.
Suitable Trophy.
While the premiums in the individual
classes should consist Of cash awards,
1t is suggested that the championship
psise consist of a suitable trophy rath-
