Arizona State Fair.

The next big event in Arizona

tinues throughout the week.
The commission this year has
made a special effort to fill the
whole week with attractions that
will draw the crowds. There

polo, with some of the best
artists in the country participat-
ing. The speed department con-
tains entries of some of the fast
est harness horses from, all the
big racing centers, and there
gives promise of being some sur
prising performances, in an ef-
fort to capture the $27, QUO offer
ed in purses.
A large and varied program of
free amusements has been pre-
pared for the entertainment of
visitors to the fair, including a
wild west carnival of cowboy
sports.
Every department of the fair
is filled with the finest exhibits
that can be assembled in the
state, thoroughbred stock, fine
arts, textile fabrics, mining and
mineral displays, and a domestic
science department under the
direction of the state university.

 War, or the prospect of war, and the many hours a day drill has no effect on the negro, so long as he has an audience, and if the 5000 or more negroes at Camp Pike are any different from other negroes, they fail to carry the signs.

 Negro soldiers will be permitted in Little Rocks shopping section only to make purchases, but the negro store keepers declare that they will make this unnecessary. So Little Rock does not anticipate trouble with the negroes.

 The negroes arrive at Camp Pike by the hundreds. Most of them come to Little Rock on special trains and when one of them reaches the camp, it is the exposure of all eyes. There are all shapes, sizes and colors, from the light khaki to the moonless night. Their apparel is everything from the tatters of the farm negro to the red tie, the sporty hard boiled hat, and other apparel in keeping that is worn by the town negro.
