SOME CATTLE
 T0 BE SEEN AT THE FAIR


 cattle which has ever been made at the Arizona State fair will he seen the week of Novembr 12-17 in elusive.
 In spite of many discouragements which the breeders have faced. the show is a creditable one. Early in the year they were promised a judging pavilion which is badly need ed, but owing to the great pres sure brought to bear by some in
 uential parties the judging pavilion lid not materialize. The cattle are
 his year, as before, being shown n an arena without any protection
 rom the weather. One convenience not bnfore afforded. is that of chairs for seating the ladies who will want to watch the judge make the awards as the different classes come before him.
 There are a certain few who feel that the state fair of today should be the barbarious event which oc cured fifty years ago, and feel that some exciting horse races with 6 steer reping contest constitute all that is desired In q state fair. How ever, the citizens of the state who have courage and strength of char acter for making the state a com monwealth which stands out among other states of the union, feel that more is necessary than horse rao- ing for the education c he thou sands who attend the ssa fair to learn by what methods theE can i'm prove the crop and the livestock which they produce, which goes to feed our people and constitutes a goodly share of the wealth of the state. To these people more than to the race track gamblers belopcf the credit of the bigger portion
