MAKE COCON|NO
 POTATOES FAMOUS

The Greeley district of Colo rado and the Burley district of Idaho have made those two states famous for their potato growing. At present outside of Arizona, Coconino County is scarcely known as a potato section. Even tho the land may be limited, this can be made to be one of the three great pota- to districts of the West. Pota- toes merely covered over with no cultivation whatever during the summer have produced po- tatoes. rather doubt that this can be done even in the two mentioned potato sections.
 Are you a county booster? Farmers, we need your co-op- erative efforts. You need your neighbors and you both need the rest of the farmers in the county. Coconino County has no farmers who are not pro- gressive. If you know one who is not, convert him and bring him along to meeting Saturday October 6 at 2:30 in the county Court House. On that date a good enthusiastic body of workers will organize to push the County needs. Men who have the community's success and progress at heart; who wish to establish a permanent potato market and reputation in this state and other states.

Hunters Efforts Nos Rewarded

Hunters Efforts Not Rewarded
 Chas. Wade, nr. C. D. lief fries and Judge Sine went hunt ing Monday night, autoing out near the Keeslar ranch. They spent the night under the pines, waking up at five the next morning. After a scrumptious breakfast they separated and tried to get on the trail of the unsuspecting wild turkeys re- ported to be in that region.
 Charlie returned with some fine excuses for the condition of his game bag, whic was rather flat: Judge Sine had a squir- rel and Doc, we'll he had the best luck to report, of all. He saw.a turkey and took a shot at it. Then the blamed gun kept right on shooting without any invitation an;. scared the turkey away. He and Wade joined forces just in time to raise a beautiful bunch of quail but as he failed to recognize this rare bird he didn't get in a shot. Wade, no doubt, would have brought in the limit of these except that he was armed only with a rife, besides which he was standing behind Doc and feared the speed of the bullet might be impeded by passing thru Docs anatomy, so bravely resisted the tempta- ton. After locating Judge Sine the party returned to Will. Hams Tuesday afternoon. They report that Ad Keeslar is har. vesting his grain and has a fine crop. He met the auto party and proudly displayed some large hen fruit, stating that he was harvesting two crops, one of grain and the other eggs.

NORTHERN AR|z. FAIR
Especial to "News") By G. M. SPARKS

By G. M. SPARKS
 Plans for the biggest and best Fair in Northern Arizona are now we'll under way. By the opening day, Thursday, Oct. 18th, they will be crystallized into the Fifth annual Northern Arizona Fair.
 Apache, Coconino, Mohave, Navajo, and Yavapai counties will all be represented at the Fair, and many new improve ments have been made to the buildings so that the exhibits may be shown to better advant- age. A new building is now nearing completion in which to house the mining exhibits. Many new features will be in- troduced in this department and modern display methods will be followed in the installa- tlon of the exhibits. Permanent buildings for the exhibition of the best in agricultural, horti- cultural, livestock, art, educa- tional, culinary and needle work have been erected and many improvements are being made in each building. In the women's building a concrete floor has been laid, better light ing facilities installed and the general interior appearance of the building improved. A beau tiful pavilion and rest room i was erected in 1916, in which to house the most valuable cx- hibit of Northern Arizona the Baby show. s
 The premiums in all depart ments have been increased nla- terially and the fact that over $250O is being awarded in cash for the best exhibits will un- doubtedly induce many grow CTS and producers to enter con- petition. Many additional cash prizes have been arranged for in the live stock exhibition which will be under the direc- tion of c. E. Gentry.
 Wortham's famous carnival, twenty-fou1' car show, the largest which has ever shown in Arizona, will play in Pres. colt during the week of the fair. A twenty piece brass band will furnish delightful music on the mornings, after moons and evenings. Dancing, under the management of the Fair Association will go on each evening of the Fair, and new and spectacular features will be introduced on the grounds. The track events will be under the supervision of Dr. J. w. Osborne, a we'll known track man. Over S2,O00.00 in cash prizes will be hung up for the various events. Already many horses are training at the Fair grounds.
 The entire program of the Fair has been arranged So as not to include one dull moment during the entire three days celebration. Low excursion rates will be in effect from all points.

WOMAN'S CLUB MEETS

ne WOmanS' Club held tht first meeting of the fiscal yea, 1917-1918, at the home of Mrs Mcdonald Robinson, Tuesday October IS, at 2::3O P. M. A large number of the members were present. After the regu. lar business was transacted the Presidents opening address was given in which the policies the club will follow during these war times were outlined. It was unanimously decided to work for the Red Cross during the winter, knitting or other work being proposed as an ac- compartment to each program. Several of the members were taking their first lessons in knit ting during this meeting.
 Those wishing to learn to knit may receive instructions during the meetings from those al- ready expert in this art.
 After the last of the business had been transacted the tenth anniversary of the Club was celebrated. Mrs. K. w. Will Hams, to whom must be given credit for the organization of the club, told of the conditions existing in Williams at the time when she came here twelve years ago and pointed out the benefits the town has received morally from the existence of the Womans' Club and noted the benefit received by the members also, in broader dev- elopment of a social attitude towards their neighbors which has done much to better con- ditions. for all concerned.
 At the conclusion of the in teresting talk by Mrs. Williams a birthday cake was brought in and presented to her in recog- nition of her invaluable ser vices so unfailingly given these many years, and as a small tok- en of the esteem in which she is held by the members.
 Ten tiny candles decorated the cake and these were blown out by the charter members pres ent, thus insuring them an ans wer to their dearest wish. The charter members present were Mrs. K. w. Williams, Mrs. E. B. Perrin, and Mrs. James Ken nedy and Mrs. McD. Robinson.
 After Mrs. Williams cut the cake delicious coffee was served and business was entire ly forgotten.

AN ANCIENT JAPANESE ART
Embroidery Made in Fiowery Kingdom
for Centuries Before Country
Was Opened to World.

japanese embroidary, now so popu-
lar In this country, is one Of the oldest
arts Of the mikadO's people. For CEN
turies before the country was opened
TO foreign intercourse heavily embrOid-
cred silk kimonos, screens. and other
articles were made by professional
embroidery experts, principally In
kyoto. This same profession con-
tinues today, having been handed
down from father to son for many gen
erations. For this reason the center
of the country's art-embroidery indus
try is at kyotO. although cheaper EN-
broideries. principally for export. are
produced In large quantities In other
part Of the Kobe district
The majority of the workers in Kyo-
to are men. who produce the finer
grades OF embroidery. 1t Is essentially
household industry. and Is usually
conducted in small shops. where from
three to ten apprentices and skilled
embroiderers are employed. The men
received from 10 to IS cents gold per
day. The women. however. are able
to earn from Is to 80 cents gold Per
day. depending upon their ability and
diligence.
The manufacture of handmade lace
Is a comparatively new industry In
Japan. as lace was not used by the
japanese before the advent Of foreign
