Must Register Cattle Brands

A cattle brand isn't a brand
according to the laws of the state
governing the live stock industry
unless said brand has been duly
registered Oh the cattle brand books
of the State Livestock Sanitary
Board. Because of considerable
trouble experienced on account of
maverick cattle brands the Off
cials are going to inaugurate a
campaign that it is hoped will rem
edy the difficulty.
According to an announcement
made at the office of the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board at the State
House, cattle bearing such unreg
istered brands are to be picked up
as strays and advertised and sold as
such by the state.
At considerable expense and
much trouble the State has main
tanned a complete list of the regis
tered cattle brands in Arizona, and
it is the intention of the officials
having that matter III charge to
enforce the law to the letter. Some
thing more than merely buying a
branding iron is necessary in order
to establish a claim to stock thus
marked is the decision of the Off
cials of the Live Stock Sanitary
Board.
There may be some surprised
cattle men before very long," de-
clared E. w. Stephens, secretary
of the Live Stock Sanitary Board.
The board is going to protect the
brands that have been registered
according to law, and will pick up
all cattle marked with unregistered
brands and treat them as strays in
the future.

" Motor Insanity "

Unless airmen take to playing
polo with a gas filled sphere,
swooping down and around one
arother in their efforts to drive the
ball between captive balloon goal
posts, auto-polo, the fastest game
in sportdom, bids fair to retain for
some time to come the reputation
established by the original Ameri-
can and English teams, coming to
the State Fair, Phoenix, as the
most thrilling of all tombative
sports.
No more will Nero sit in the
royal box in the ancient Coliseum
and sick lions on the Christians;
bull fighting is denied us football
has been revised so that it's dan
gers have been lessened; but auto
polo : motor insanity" combines
them all, with all the sensations of
each and then some of it's own.
It's participants are that peculiar
species of beings whose main de
sire seems to be to skirt the edge
of death by as narrow a margin as
possible, and then pull back laugh
ingly from the brink. The chie1
fascination of auto-polo is in the
ever present danger of its players
taking a header into the nearest
hospital. When a sport played
with marvellous science carries thai
with it, the American public is get
ting it's moneys worth.

Fair at St. David
the future

The community fair held at St.
David Tuesday, proved to be one
of the best agricultural gatherings
held in this district. A good crowd
came out to see the exhibits and to
hear the talks. County Agent Pas

selection and crop improvement,
Mr.. B. O. Rayne, Fair Commits
sioner for Cochise county, told the
farmers how to select agricultural
exhibits for the fairs and urged all
to save their best for the State fair.
Mr.. E. P. Taylor, Director of
Agricultural Extension from the
University, talked on the benefits
of local and other fairs as an edu
Gator of the farmer in the Standard
ization of crops and breeds of live
stock and the grading of his pro-
ducts for market.
The exhibits of vegetables by
Mrs. R. H. Martin, Mrs. Pearl
Plumb, Mrs. H. O. Post and P. A.
Lofgreen were especially worthy of
mention. Some fine corn samples
Of the Sacaton June variety were
shown by A. O. Parker and Henry
Busby, some single stalks measur
ing 19 1-2 feet high and bearing
large and well-shaped ears.
Beautiful fruit was shown by

California will see an an influx
Of tourists this wipter according tc
Chas. S. Fee, passenger traffic
manager of the Southern Pacific,
has just returned from a trip
through the east and south.
I think the winter travel to the
Coast from the middle Western
States is likely to be heavier than
last year, said Fee, as the farm
ers almost without exception are
extremely prosperous, and despite
the war will unquestionably find
their way from the snow, sleet and
ice to the salubrious climate of Cal
ifornia and the Pacific Coast.
Conditions in the East with re-
spect to winter travel to California
are on the whole promising.
Some agencies seemed to think
that Fasteners might prefer to
visit the military encampments in
the Southwestern states rather than
make long distance travel, but re-
cent developments indicate that
such will rot be the case.
Army officers in command of
these encarnpments, III some in
stances at least, have distinctly
discouraged excursions as we'll as

that the men are there for intensive
training and their every moment IS

FIRE LOSSES
INCENDIARIES SUSPECTED OF
STARTING FARM FIRES.

Britton, Sept. 1.-Two farm fires
i'm the vicinity of Britton are believ-
ed to have been due to activities on
the part of members of the |. w. w.
organization. The large barn on the
farm of Henry Sasse was completely
destroyed. Fortunately the barn
contained only a few sets of harness
and about three tons of hay. Mr..
Sasse was in town when the fire was
discovered. The origin of the fire is
a mystery. but il is believed to have
been the work of a firebug. A
threshing crew had left the place
that morning. The bulk Of the grain
threshed was in another building.
which escaped the flames. There is
a possibility that the fire was started
by the placing of a quantity of phos-
phorus in the barn by some member
of the |. w. w. At about the same
time as this fire some unknown per
son ran two boxes of matches
through a separator belonging TO
James Shaft. which was operating on
another farm only a few miles away.
Quick action saved the machine from
destruction. The farmers OF the
neighborhood are thoroughly aroused
and are talking of organizing a Wig
lance committee for the capture and
summary punishment of those re
sponsible for these acts of vandalism.

ESKIMO life
MARRIAGE CUSTOMS - WIVES
ARE EXCHANGED AT WILL.

New York, Sept. 6.-Eskimos at
Etah in the trackless wastes of the
Arctic now are amusing themselves
with monographs taken to them by
the so called Crockerland expedition,
according to Donald b. Macmillan,
who headed the party. and who re-
turned TO New York after an absence
OF more than four years. They do
not take to classical music, bat they
do like rag time and their favorite
selection is a Hawaiian melody. Mr..
Macmillan said. He added that they
were learning the two-step.
While the Eskimos do not believe
in war and think the warning nations
are running amuck" the explorer
explained that they are opposed to
anything autocratic. When they
think the chief man of their tribe is
assuming too much power they hold
a council and oust him with a har-
pooh. They have the socialistic the
DRY that what belongs to one man be-
longs to all.
Their marriage customs are some
what curious, Mr.. Macmillan said.
Children of s years have their part
ners selected for them and they mar
ny when the girl is able to chew the
sealskin sole of a shoe. Frequently
the men exchange wives for varying
periods. The wives sometimes OBJ
ject, but il does them no good.
Mr.. Macmillan announced the dis
covery of vast coal fields on the west
coast of Ellsmoreland. but admitted
they were likely to do the world lit
tie good.

POTASH in ASHES
DISCOVERY Is MADE BY A MAN

Fairfax. Sept. 6.-The Johnson
Fuel company, of Fairfax, has been
experimenting on the by-products OBJ
tanned from Ignite coal and their
chemists report that the ashes from
the Ignite coal briquets contain APP
proximately s per cent of potash.
The commercial value of potash Is
from $500 to $500 per ton. The ash
residue. after the potash has been
extracted, has a great value as a fill
er for paint and soap. In extracting
the moisture from the Ignite coal in
the process of manufacturing the
briquets there is a percentage of gas
liberated with the moisture. 1t is
said this gas may be condensed into
gasoline by a special process.
