KEEP FLIES FROM BARNS

Flies that breed late in the summer
and early fall are more annoying TO
cows and other farm animals than the
ones that appear earlier in the season
50 special attention should be given
now to prevent broods from Matching

in manure in the stables or calf pens.
Both should be cleaned out frequently

The lime should also be used around

i RUNAWAY MATCH"
RAY BAND SHOW

A treat is in store for Ray theater-
goers on Monday evening, when the
Ray Con. band will present at the
Airdome theater the big local produc-
tion of Hoyt's famous farce-comedy,
"The Runaway Match" under the di-
rection of C. J. McNaughtan, profess
sional show producer, who is in the
city taking full charge of the direct
ing of the play.
The plot of the play deals with
Cuthbert Claxton, an old soldier &C..
ard Claxton (Ralph Edwards), and
Mrs. Eleanor Matche, a dashing
widow (Mrs. Evalyn ZoebeD, and her
daughter, Millie Matche, a runaway
school girl miss Merle McAneny),
who elope rather hopelessly, namely,
father with daughter, and mother
with son. The mix-ups and adven-
lures they encounter through acci-
dentally being marooned in Townsley
Tavern, Hickville, N. Y, one-horse
hotel run by human cyclone, Miss
Jane Pennywise miss Lola Carter)
and her boy, Solomon (V. E. McPoiD i,
who is bellboy, porter and everything
else, are a riot of fun.
The plot is also "thickened"
through the presence of Sherlock
Barker, the village constable IT. S.
Craig, whose motto is, Mice, and
quiet, and peaceful"
Between acts, to cut waits, there
will be a seven-piece orchestra and
specialties will be introduced, open
ing with Sam Wall in vocal selec-
tions, followed by little Miss Mary
Pruitt in Hawaiian singing and dane
ing act. Next will come Ben Olivarer,
cornet soloist, formerly with the Pa
cific Coast Military band, and the
specialties close with Mesdames
Walker, Carour, Brown and White
head, a ladies' quartet, in popular Sc
lections.
The show is given to buy new uni
forms for the band, but at the same
time the boys are sparing neither
time nor expense to make it the event
of the season, and it sure does look
like "some show"

WILL BARNES ON
ARIZONA RANGES

Hon. Will G.. Barnes, at one time an
Arizona cattleman and in territorial
days chairman of the Livestock Sani-
tary board, now high official in the
United States forest service, writes
of Arizona range conditions to the
Breeders Gazette of Chicago as fol-
lows:
From a stockman's point of view,
Arizona conditions have not been bet
ter in thirty years than on August 1.
Starting in with spring that broke
all records for cold and backward
ness, the rainy season began on July
4. The rains spread over all the
ranges are the best in many years.
Every water-hole is running over, the
forage cover is glorious, and livestock
of all kinds flourishes. In the south
ern part of the state the rains so far
have been rather spotted and condi-
tions are not quite so good.
1t will be many year before Ari-
zona stockmen forget the spring of
1917. The cold weather cut down the
calf and lamb crop, while losses
among the old stock were heavy.
Loco was unusually abundant and on
some ranges 25 per cent of the old
COWS died from .eating this plant.
From all l could learn, the lamb crop
over the state will not run much
more than so per cent on an average,
while it is doubtful if the average calf
crop will reach 35 per cent.
''There may be more wonderful
stock ranges than those which lie
along the Santa Fe in northern Ari
IONA, but l do not know where they
are in the western part of the United
| States. What makes them most i'm
bilities; given even a moderate
amount of RAINFALL the grasses and
other forage plants reproduce them
selves more rapidly and fully thar
any ranges with which I am acquaint
ed. Today the gramma, their best
grass, covers the whole country with
a mantle of green that will bring tc
the markets some of the fattest sheer
and cattle that have been shipped fol
many year.

VERDE EX. r. r.
TO LAY RAILS

JEROME, Aug. 23.-George King
don, general manager of the United
Verde Extension, today announced
that the company would, the coming
week, have under way the laying of
track for the five mile railroad run
ming from the smelter site to the
mouth of the haulage tunnel.
This is to be standard guage rail
road right up into the mine. It is
possible, the manager says, that mar
row guage cars will be mounted on
standard guage trucks.
Only about 900 feet of the 10000
foot tunnel has been dug. The Pot
ter Construction company, which has
the tunnel contract, is rushing work
with all possible speed from the por-
tai and also from the 1400-foot level
of the mine. The Texas shaft, being
sunk below the Dundee-Arizona, is
down 200 feet 1t will not be down
to the required depth of 900 feet for
several uonIAS, uuI WHoH IL ID AHIo'lou
a short crosscut will be run over to
the line of the tunnel and headings
will be started two ways. With three
shifts in four headings, it is hoped
to complete the tunnel some time next
summer.
The new hosting snaft just east
of the Edith shaft is complete down
to the 14O0-foot level except for the
concreting. 1t has now been con
creted down to the 225-foot level.
The Arizona copper camp., 1917-08-25

my old range, which I have not WIS.,
tied for fifteen years, showed me
some wonderful changes. Everywhere
the wire fence is in evidence. The
checkerboard railroad grant which
gave every alternate section for forty
miles on each side of the Santa Fe
has been leased or bought by long
headed stockmen. In many instances,
by securing state selections on the
intervening government lands, the
owners have been able to fence thou
sands of acres of open grazing lands
in solid blocks.
"The gift of some 100000 acres
of public domain to the state when it
entered the Union gave this oppor-
tunity, and by the way the land is
passing into private hands, it is a
question of only few years until the
open range will be thing of the past
in northern Arizona, outside OF the
national forest ranges. The passage
of the 640-acre homestead law has
hastened this consolidation of large
units, as the stockmen realized that
the new law would operate to their
disadvantage.
'The situation is bound to create
friction in the future, as the securing
of such large holdings of land in solid
blocks means the ultimate annihila-
tion of the small stockmen. They are
already raising their voices in protest,
but with apparently little effect My
prediction is that within twenty-five
years the state will be graphing with
this land question in an endeavor to
break up these large holdings, the ac-
emulation of which is now appar'
emily attracting little or no attention
what the dry-farmers have done in
northern Arizona amazes me. On
some of the most dry and most un
likely parts of my old range l have
seen some of the best crops of pota
toes, corn and rye, with well-estab
lished orchards, apples especially
Nor is the area over which this has
been done fully occupied, but with the
closing of the public ranges by fenc
ing, the future settlers will be more
or less handicapped for want of lit
tie piece of range on which to graze
their domestic animals during the
crop-growing period.
For some reason the steer sale;
were not very heavy this spring
From all l can gather, it was proba
bly, due to the desire of the owners tt
secure prices somewhat higher thar
last year, which the buyers would

HOW FOUR MINUTE MEN HELP
TO SPREAD WAR INFORMATION

Mrs. E. w. French, chairman for
ganization, is in receipt of pamphlet
which gives much interesting infor-
nation concerning the organization
which she represents locally, and of
which George J. Stoneman, ESQ.,, of
Phoenix. is the state chairman.
According to the pamphlet, the NOV
ing-picture theatres are offering op-
portunity to the government for pres
entation to their audiences of the
purposes of the United States in war
and in the great undertakings which
are essential to the support of war
In such opportunities and in their
complete and successful utilization
there is vital national interest
With the presidents approval, the
Four Minute en-an organization OF
speakers, with a directing staff in
Washington been organized to
speak before audiences in moving
picture theaters. 1t has been desig
mated by the food administrator, the
chairman of the Red Cross war coun
Gil, and other officials as their agency
for presenting conditions and plans
1t accordingly has an important place
in helping to obtain widespread pop
ular cooperation for national pur
poses which for their realization de
pend upon voluntary action and per
so1al point of view.
The central staff of the Four-Min
ute-Men obtains information from the
highest authority, gives it form which
The Arizona copper camp., 1917-08-25

is perfectly clear, and places it in the
hands of the speakers for their infor-
nation and guidance. Each speaker
then appears before the audience of
the theater to which he has been as
signed. Subjects which have been
presented in this way, through corps
of 1000 speakers, have included the
Liberty Loan, Food Conservation, the
Red Cross Campaign, Reasons the
United States is at War, Universal
Service for War, and the Increased
Efficiency and Production which are
essential.
Speakers are directed to talk no
longer than four minutes. Their ap-
pearance on the platform is arranged
so as not to interfere with the pro
gram. The material which is sent
them as a basis for their speeches is
wholly non-partisan. They are ex-
pected to confine themselves strictly
to their subject and to endeavor to
develop one point effectively rather
than discuss several points .carelessly
Such an undertaking requires or
ganization. Men who will make
worthy presentation in the theaters
have to be selected. When men who
have served as speakers find it neces
sary to cease this activity, successors
have to be found. Arrangements have
to be made with each theater.
Administrative organization fol
these purposes has been effected iI
many states, with state chairmen and
with city chairmen responsible te
them.

At the suggestion of the Loyalty
league, a military exhibition has been
arranged for tomorrow Sunday af-
ternoon. The activities will start at
Ais sharp and will be held at the
flat about a quarter of mile south
of the steel bridge on the R. & G. v.
railroad.
Arrangements have been made with
the Jones stages to make the trip to
and from the grounds for fifty cents
for the round trip. The program is
in charge of Troop D, Seventeenth
cavalry under the leadership of Lieu
tenant Lewis.
The program as arranged provides
thrills for all and will give some con-
ception of the action of a mounted
troop in real action. There will be
mounted and dismounted drills, run
ming at heads, combat firing, all in
terspersed with music furnished by

on the ranges, and from all appear
ances the owners will lose nothing by

block.
"Many of the wool-growers secured
around 60 cents for their crop, some
even above that. With the certainty
of having the heaviest lambs ever
turned off these ranges, the Arizona
sheepman is not worrying over the
future Most of them have been wise
enough to lay in a goodly store OF
lands at low prices, which helps them
along in this mood. Unfortunately
for the cattlemen, they did not begin
to appreciate the value of the state
and railroad lands until their sheep.
