NEXT STATE FAIR WILL BEFOR
 AR|zONANS COMMISSION MEETS
 SET5DATE AND MAKES CHANGE {
Radical Changes Made in Policy for Next State Fair No Big Purses for Auto Races Big Drivers Come Here No More.

Radical changes in the policy of the state fair commission were decided at the joint meeting of the fair commits sion and the chamber of commerce committee yesterday. The exhibits, the sports, the amusements are to be local More than ever before it is to be, in every sense of the word, an Ari- zOna state fair.
 H. M. FennemOre, chairman of the commercial committee, said last even ing that there would be no big purse for outside races. This means that there will be no more association races; that all that will be forthcoming in the way of auto events will be by local machines. This is one of the most startling changes suggested It does not mean that automobile races are dead, but that the well known racers will not be seen here in the future. It has been proposed to cut down the harness events and have more running races-a proposition that will prove popular with the public. A day devoted to motorcycle races and another to ath- letic sports by the schools of the state met with favor. In connection with the school sports, football game be- tween the University of Arizona and Pomona was discussed
 There is to be typical old time Wild | West show with features that have , never failed to draw both westerners and tourists.
 The back to the farm movement will | be emphasized A campaign will shortly be under way for this purpose. Every farmer in the state will be urged to exhibit and to increase the display
 he had last year or the year before. l And the farmers are not the only ones who will be asked to cooperate. A | canvas will be made all over Arizona and the various boards of supervisors will be invited to do the boost work. Women. who have always played a
 large part in the fairs, will be given more prominence this season. Several have already been appointed on the Rose festival committee. The Rose carnival is slated for the opening day. Interest in the floral parade has been so keen that out of the flower fete has developed the plan to have a botanical
 exhibit at the fair.

Commission Decides to Hold Fair After Election-Mo- torcycles to Have Day for Themselves, with Autos on Last Day.

At the meeting of the state fair commission held yesterday, it was practically decided to hold the 1916 fair on November 13 to IS inclusive ing the big show was decided after a general discussion had been held both by the members of the commits sion and the persons composing the fair cooperation committee, from the local chamber of commerce. It was pointed out that the fair should not be held before election, as it might interfere with the attendance on part of many citizens of the state who might be more interested in politics than in the fair.
 R. G. Layton of Thatcher, member of the committee, was not able to be present as he had planned, and cannot get here until Friday, and the meeting of the commissioners will be continued until such time as MT. Layton can appear.
 A great deal of attention was given
 
 of the auto and motorcycle races. Some radical innovations are planned for the coming fair, both for the pur- pose of cutting down some of the unnecessary expenses and also to give more varied aspect to the sport program. In this way a greater amount of local interest can be worked up, and the purses for these events materially reduced. It was also decided to give an entire day to the motorcycle program, and Monday the opening day of the fair, will probably be turned over to the chug- bike riders Saturday will probably be designated as automobile day.
 The racing department will also see some changes this year, according tc the present intentions of the con- mission. In order to encourage the horsemen from the southwestern part of the United States, including Ari- zona. Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and California, some especially tempt ing purses will be put up for animals from this section.
 Today's session of the commission will be given over largely to the consideration of the live stock enc of the fair, and a number of the prominent stOckmen of the state vii be present to discuss plans for the enlargement of the stock exhibits fol the coming year.

BIRTHDAY DANCE IF
 ST. WINNIE REDS

The ladies of St Winifred's Guild of the Trinity Episcopal church plan for a birthday dance at the Cathedral House on the night of February II. It is desired that all members of the church and friends of the church shall be present. Handsome hand painted invitations have been issued. It has not been practicable to send them to all as the postage required would detract considerable from the sum that the ladies hope to realize from the fund for furnishing the cathedral. Therefore invitations have been handed only to those who have attended the church. But others are hereby requested to consider themselves invited.
 The purpose of the dance and the ! manner of securing financial recog-ni- hilton of it is set forth in the invitation l in the following paraphrase of a verse l from Danny Deever: I What are the Ladies whisperin' of | Said Member on Parade.
 'To ask you to a Birth Day Dance l The Waiting Gossip said.
 Whose Birthday Dance whose Birth 1 day dance?'

I Knowing something of human nature and the vanity of the male sex the ladies in charge of the dance have ar ranged that in the cases of gentlemen who do not care to disclose their ages. |l the pennies may be put into a sealed envelope and turned into the commit tee which before counting them will turn them in with the rest so that it

Truck CHILD SECRETED
AWAY BY HER MOTHER

Mrs. E. L. Truck of Solomon,
whose husband is held at Salina for
a serious charge filed against him
on evidence given by his 1O-year-
old daughter, left Solomon Tuesday
night, taking with her the little
girl. The whereabouts of her and
her children are not known to the
authorities. 1t is supposed she took
the girl so that she would not be
able to testify against her father
and in that way free him, for Mrs,
Treux protested very vigorously
against taking legal action against
her husband. Saline county does not
propose to drop the case and it will
be continued until the child is To-
Gated.

ing flour plant and the equipment
of the entire outlay of machinery
with roller bearings, were installed,

hours every day since July Fl when
the milling year starts.
improvements costing $4,000 are
to be installed. The latest in unload
ing devices is included in this, which
is an electrically operated plant for

ed by the president, ]. L. Rodney
Not enough freight cars can be Sc
cured to ship the wheat in and the
flour out. This however does not
hinder their shipping prospects fol
they keep in shipping directions fol
thirty days ahead and their book

DAMAGE SUIT TAKER UNDER
AMUSEMENT BY JUDGE KING

The case of Harriet Mossholder,

under Amusement by Judge King in
district court yesterday after argu-
ments for both sides had been pre-
scented. Under the employers liza
bility act of this state the widow can
be paid a lump sum equal to S15 a
week for three years, providing she
does not die or remarry, or the
payments can be made weekly. This
is left to the discretion of the judge
and it is Judge Kings first case of
this nature.
Mrs. wilson's attorney asks that
s243O be paid in one amount; 1904
has been paid. The contracting COM
pany wishes to pay the damages by
installments. In this way they profit
what the interest would equal which
amounts to about $500.
