 "Graymont Heights. Birmingham,
 May 29 1917.
 Dear MT. Huddleston: I am im- pelled to write to you because you make me so sad by your speeches. They seem to me almost reasonable. If your doctrines had been held by the early colonists, our United States of America would have been crown property. There would never have been a revolt against King GeorgeN III, and so no republic. The United States of America is today what it is because in the councils of a divine providence we have had to engage in war several times, though never low ing war as war, yet knowing that basic principles have to be fought for. So we, a peacable people, should be prepared.

The State air

In respect. at least, and we believe in all, the fair this year will surpass all its predecessors There will be and better horses here than ever before attracted by liberal premiums, so that the racing in the week of November. 12 will engage the attention of every part of the country. Racing cannot make state fair, but 1t IS always largely contribuary to it. It is the feature that draws the crowds.
 The agricultural display too this year ought to be better, bigger and more varied than A greater acreage has planted and the attention of people has been drawn to agriculture never before.
 Stock raising and the improvement of live stock have progressed steadily throughout the year, as they doing since the first territorial fair gave the live stock industry impetus by showing farmers at large what comparatively few men had been doing with improved stock.
 The people have been lifted out of themselves by the events of the last few months and have been drawn closely together, indicating that more than they feel the need of each other. All this contributes to cooperation and it is cooperation that makes movements and events successful

 FIRST CONTINGENT

Men drafted for military service Tn Maricopa county are volunteering so rapidly for places in the first five per cent called to entrain for camp next Saturday that it will not be necessary to draw lots to make up that five per cent, according to information from the local board last night.
 Word has gone forth that the five per cent, getting several weeks training ahead of the next bunch to go to camp, will be made sergeants and corporals, and will therefore be a step in advance Of those called later This has been an inducement for many to volunteer tor the first five per cent,
 The next bunch to be sent to camp will comprise 30 per cent of the quota of 390 men. While no check has been made. it is believed that there are more than enough among volunteer drafted men to fill the first five per cent. The list probably will be completed and an- nounced Monday morning.
 The local board was busy last night on the last of the clerical work con cerning the list of men called to date The board will have all this clerica work out of the way before Tuesday when another 300 men will be called for medical examination.

T came that ye might have life and
 have it more abundantly" said Jesus. And all who profess to be follower
 of this humble teacher should en-
 deavor to have it said of them that life is better for their having lived. This earth is covered with a great many folks who merely exist-some Of them are counting on life in another world to the utter neglect of this The kind of folks who neglect the good that can be done in this world would more than likely be neglectful in any world they would find themselves. I am convinced that if we are immortal
 we are immortal here and now..and nothing can alter this condition-not even death. We have the machinery best adapted to live in this world-the best machine that could be evolved during the ages of the Infinite Experi- ment-the fact that we have this highly organized body (the human ma chine) is the best indication that we should use it. We can help folks live more abundantly, not merely exist. by placing more emphasis on life here and now and less on prospect of living in some remote lover there" here after. We should strive for those things which make for peace-amone | ourselves and all peoples. The fact that war sexist is an indication that people have not discovered the best
