GROWING. INTEREST
 IN THE STATE FAIR

The State Fair premium list is creating a good deal of interest in this annual event. The depart ment superintendents prophe sy rom the interest manifested so far that the exhibition buildings will be aaxed to their capacity.
 The dog show to be conducted on the grounds has called out eighty special prizes to be contrib uted by business houses. Dr. Clayton of Chicago, one of the abl- est Kennel Show men, has been engaged as a judge in this depart ment.
 The exhibition space for poultry has been doubled and the indiea- tions are that the space will all be needed.
 The live stock raisers of the Southwest are calling for inform ation concerning live stock exhibits. The display in this department will exceed anything ever held on the Fair Grounds, if the manifest interest may be criterion.
 The Fair Association will have a strong line of amusements this year. There will he such attrac' tions as Mace and Zerado in aero batic comedy, the Diving Girls, thrilling death-defying leap on bicycle, a balloon ascension wltt triple parachute leaps, an aviator looping the loop, and flying up side down and other events of th' beft character.

Work of the American Cow

The American COW is entitled to as much praise as the Business Hen of the nation. The growth of the butter-making industry in the United States is causing statisticians to work overtime.

Since January 1, 5, 5OO- GOO pounds have gone to the United Kingdom alone.

FOn PHOENIX

Rev. E. 5. Gaddis was working in our city last week in inc inter- in our city this week in the inter- est of new hospital building for { the capital city. He is soliciting the cooperation of the citizens of the state on the grounds that the whole state will be benefited by the institution, While under the aupices of the Protestant churhes the articles of incorporation are very broad. No person is to be denied assistance an account of sex, race, religious belief or pecuniary condition.
 Phoenix is the center of the state government, the metropolis of the state, and geo graphically the best situated city to serve all parts Of the state. More than any other portion of the state, Phoenl IS burdened with the indigent sick. The whole state should share in this, and can do so by aiding Tn the construction of building that aims to do large amount of free patient service. The Protestant deacon sses are already 'lu;til successful hospital, but the hospital is much too small for those apply. ing for admission.
 Thirty five physicians in the capital city are supporting the pro- ject.
 Bishop Leonard of the Meth. Episcopal church for thls area urges the Methodists of Arizona to give literally toward the erection of a hospital at Phoenix. =
 Bishop Atwood of the protestant Episcopal church fully endorses the project. he says: "There is great need for more hospital accommoda- tion in Phoenix, I wish the work success in every way"
 The first improvement will be about $5O,OOO. % in property value. Outside aid will be solicited from m,llionaires who are doing busi- ness within the bounds of the state.
 MT. Gaddis made public pres entation of the cause last week in the Williams Methodist church.

FAVORED BY WEATHER MAN

Williams is too modest to claim that the gods look upon her with special favor but the records of the. weather man do show that the heavens have been very kind to us in the matter of rainfall. The News gets daily reports from our sister town to the east and from those reports one would judge Flagstaff to be as dry as the most ardent prohibitionist could wish her. A half inch of rain is flood in Flagstaff. The report has usu- ally been .O0 inches. Williams, on the contrary has been wet. Her streets have run with water many times since the rainy season began in July. For the month of July the weather man gauged the rainfall at 5.13 inches. August has rot been as wet, but August did not need to be so wet to give
 Williams all the rain she needed. The rainfall for August was 54 inches The total tor the two months was S.67 inches. Williams has had rain enough. Another inch would have been too much.
