With strong thigh, heaving chest.

NO POETRY FOR PERsHING.

1t is suggested that the Fugitive verse; be-
ing contributed to public prints celebrating the
honor of General Pershing ''be gathered into
a compilation for presentation to ''the hero"
when he comes home. Pershing will have a
lot to stand when he gets here 1t seems but
simple justice to spare him the pain of being
embalmed in minor poetry. 1t is something
that happens often to national heroes but none
of them likes it. There is too much resemblance
to pressing pansy to fit the occasion. The
British minor poets made life somewhat de-
pressing to Lord Roberts and Admiral Dewey
had experiene. General Pershing will be vel
coined with sincerity he will not doubt and
the heartiness he viii know how to value as
true expression of what we shall want to make
him feel is our estimate of him and his work
But the fugitive verse might quite we'll be left
fugitive. Pershing will not miss it.
1t is the view of the Webster City Freeman
Journal that Henry Ford, now that he has es-
capped the danger of being rubber stamp in
the hands of the president, should want to do
something heroic for himself. Henry did want,
and the want has been filed He has become
publisher and editor of weekly newspaper in
one of the suburbs of Detroit. Isn't that a
heroic adventure in these present times of high
cost of everything that goes to make up the
complement of newspaper establishment

Northern Arizona Fair
 Ready Opening Day


 With dirt flying and all of the buildings being re-opened and cleaned, the grounds of the Northern Arizona Fair Associa- ton at Prescott present a lively appearance. Willing workers are daily to be found at the grounds putting everything in first-class condition pending the opening of the fair, October 17th.
 Low excursion rates of one and one-haIf fares have been ar ranged for from all points in Ari- zona and Southern California. President Fredericks has all de- tails for the big celebration well in hand and the assurance now is that the 1918 Northern Arizona Fair will be the winner from start to finish.
 Every possible avenue will be used to assist the government in its various campaigns. All pre- miums in every department will be paid in War Savings and Thrift Stamps. A special feature on Liberty Bond day, Saturday, the 18th, will be the big parade, which will be held at the Fair grounds. Organizations from Northern Arizona will be well represented in this parade, par ticularly that of the division given over to the patriotic and Ally floats. The first prize to be awarded for the best float in this division, all points consid- cred, will be $22.5O; second $12.5O.
 The other divisions of the par ade will be given over to the boys and girls and the Mother Goose characters. For the most orig inal in the boys division the prizes will be $12.50, $7.5O, $5. For the most original in the girls division, $12.5O, $7.5O, $5. For the Mother Goose charac- ters, open to both boys and girls, first prize, $7.5O, $5, $2.50. Pre- miun lists will be mailed upon application to the Secretary, P. o. Box SIS, Prescott, Arizona.

Four Minute Speeches
 For School Children

Every school in the country has been given an opportunity to participate in the third Junior Four-Minute Men contest to be held during the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign.
 Ehis- contest wifi be conducted in the same manner as the pre- ceding contests, in War Savings Stamps and the Third Liberty Loan, respectively.
 Bulletins containing specially selected material for use during the Fourth Liberty Loan cam paign have been prepared by the Four-Minute Men of the Com mittee on Public Information, and sent out in collaboration with the educational division of the same. committee and with the bureau of education of the De partment of the Interior.
 These bulletins will be used by the teachers as texts from which the children prepare four hund- dred word essays, which are then recite as four-minute speeches and a winner chosen from each grade. Inter-grade contests are then conducted to decide the winner for the entire school or for such subdivision of it as the principal may deem most fair to the contestants, con- sidering differences in age. The winners in these finals receive official certificates appointing them as junior four-minute men on the designated topic.
 The contests require careful study of patriotic subjects, and promote wartime thrift, in ad- dition to affording interesting and motivised subjects for exer- cises in composition and recita- tion.

New Oil Fields
 Must be Developed
The Consumption of Oil and Its By-PrOducts Is Steadily Increasing, While the Supply Furnished by the Old Districts IS Decreasing. The Answer: Bring In New Wells in Un- developed Territory
(By Fred o. crain)

quantities may mean the loss of
 great opportunity. Oil literally
 srnooths" the way to success in
 all lines of endeavor and may
 rightly be termed the life blood
 of industry. Therefore, it is a problem that must be met to se-
 cure an entirely adequate supply
 of this precious fluid.
 The development of new fields is the only solution of this prob lem, and new fields are brought in only after persistent effort and in many cases, heartbreaking work on the part of those who believe in their possibilities. No amount of determination will, in Itself, create oil in an anticline, but determination will obtain it if it is there. Of the mill-stones about the neck of the conscienti- ous prospector is one, the pro- fessional pessimist, and another, the personal-pro6t manipulators. who rarely assist in the actual development of a field.
 The difficulties of financing de- velopment of new fields and the importance of successful develop .ment thereof will undoubtedly, sooner or later, induce the Gov ernment itself to actively assist in proving up new territory in spite of the apparent obstruction of large oil interests, who are themselves never found in the ranks of the pioneers. Apparent ly the wishes of these monOpo- listie interests have been a strong factor in preventing effective as sistance heretofore
 Those who are engaged in the development of new oil fields are engaged in patriotic endeavor. even though the suggestion of in- dividual profit through successful effort may not be absent; neither can the same suggestion be avoided by those who manufac- ture other necessary munitions of war.
 The large producing fields of the United States were once in the same position as the pros pcctive Arizona fields and there is no reason to suppose other wise, in view of the exceedingly favorable indications, than that Arizona will come to the aid of the nation with stupendous oil production.
 The Rocky Mountain region is the only one not as yet thorough y explored for oil.

Navajo County's First Fair
 At Snowflake Next Week
A Historical Sketch of the Events Leading Up to the Organization of County Fair Asso-

work may be mentioned A. P

 and later became fair commits

 and c. R. Fillerup, farm agent
 who has always taken an inter

 toned.
 During the 1917 session of the
 Arizona legislature, the law was passed authorizing county super lvisoFs to allow a certain amount Ief money for conducting county fairs, and appropriating an equal amount from the general funds of the state. Accordingly certain organizations in the |southern part of the county be-
 gan boosting for a fair. The Navajo County Farm Improve men Association, and the Navajo Club became active. The latter nominated a set of officers and invited the farmer to join in sus- taining the men chosen and boosting the fair. The Farm In1- provement Association joined and the fair became reality.
 The newspapers must not be forgotten. They all joined in boosting and creating a public desire for the fair. Editor Geo. A. Byus of the Snowflake Her aid was particularly active. The officers of the fair are: Q. R. Gardner, president; Frank Campbell, vice president; Ar thur Palmer, secretary, and Jno. Miller, treasurer. Others who nave worked to bring about the project are Samuel F. Smith. MT. 'l. e. Ffe5st, s- H.. Chaffee, 0. D. Flake, F. J. Willis, A. P. Larson, and in fact most of the citizens 0f the county. The Vaf1OuS com mittees are formed of represen- tative citizens from all parts of the county.
 The objective of the fair is educational in it's nature. Few of us know of the resources of this end of Arizona, and few know just what the schools are doing. It is hoped the fair will reveal these things. A social advantage is also anticipated. It will be a sort of come-together 1 of the various sections of our extensive county. A | few days more and the show will | pc on. Let us all work for it's success.

Handsome Brick Buildings for Ranger, Holbrook Next

Harry l.. DeFont. well known oil operator of Kansas and Okla homa, stopped a few hours Tn
 Holbrook while enroute via auto to Los angeles where he goes to sojourn for a few weeks. Mir. DeFont is connected with the Camrich- Eller pool at Tulsa and says that the Holbrook field is being eagerly watched by the public at large. and with addi- tional development and some ex- pected results. that this field will see a boom second to none. He further states that the Ranger field is witnessing a rush never experienced in the history of ''boom" days where, only a few months ago the na- tive sage brush played havoc with the back doors and vacant lots, today is replaced with handsome brick buildings and more are being erected as fast as money, man and material can perform the feat. A further ex- ample of what the oil industry means to a community is shown by the lone bank that has been in existence in the town for years, has today five rivals and another which has applied for a charter, and all other business on the same progressive trend. While here Mir. DeFont paid his respects to Gov. Meikleiohn. whom he has known for some years, and promised to return at an early date for a thorough in- spection of the field.

The fare for the roundtrip will be $2. 75. People who desire to attend the fair and make the trip oyer the new railroad may do so. No doubt many people from Holbrook and Winslow will make the trip this way.

(By Prof. Joseph Peterson.l }

Anent the County fair it's in-
 ception dates back a number of
 years. The last territorial leg
 islature established a dry-land
 experimental station near Snow
 flake. w. J. Flake, Jr., became
 the first superintendent. Along
 with his other duties, he became
 a sort of ef-officio fair cQmmis-
 sioner for Navajo county. Later he received an appointment from
 the Board of Supervisors to act as fair commissioner. In those early days the writer assisted MT. Flake in collecting and pre- pairing exhibits for the State Fair, and later for the Northern Arizona Fair and Dry Land Com gress. During the preparation of these exhibits they were often arranged in some hall at Snow flake, and the public was invited to inspect them. At these times county fair was frequently ad- vocated as a means of acquaint- ing our own citizens of the pos abilities of our own country. As a result of these exhibits at the State Fairs and the Dry Land Congress, the agricultural possi- bilities of our county became better known abroad than at home. Inquiries came from many states, and larger num- Der of settlers came in and made their homes on the dry farming lands, for be it said that most of the exhibits were from these sections.
 Professor A. M. McOmie and associates of the University Ex- tension Department encouraged the farmers to bring their best 1 horses and cattle together in the rural districts and experts iudned- tho -az1isaaels- -iFf-tirc pres-f ence of large crowds, explaining the points of criticism. These had no little influence in work | ing up the fair spirit. As re- suit, each year saw larger exhib- it's at the State Fair.
 The schools also were taking part occasionally. Notably Wins low was the leader in this work, and brought home many prizes, that the schools were inferior to none in the state. St. Joseph, Snowflake and Shum- way also took part at times. One year the Snowflake Academy | brought home a larger number of ribbons, including a ribbon for general excellence of exhib- ts.

Offers Aid to
 Arizona StockInen
956 Elden Ave, Los Angeles, Calif., So11t o2th 1913

Sept. 18th, 1918. Holbrook News:
 For the benefit of stockmen in districts near Holbrook without winter feed, you may advise that parts of California show excel lent food prospects, and that al- ready 1 am advised of available range, possible to secure.
 We will know also before long the exact facts relative to the possibilities of securing money to save this breeding stock, as well as the lease price of fenced California grass ranges.
 I do not think the expense to carry these cattle will amount to much over one dollar per head per month, and if the kind of year everyone expects come, the cattle will be fat in May and June, so that the increase will more than pay expenses and val ues of this drouth stock will dou- ble when on good fenced pasture near market.
 Am spending my time and my money in trying to locate and look over these ranges, as a pa triotic effort to save breeding stock ,as it's a crime to see these young white-face cows and heif- CTS sacrificed on an over-sup- piled middle west market and bring about a third of their act ual worth.
 Will do what I can to help peo- pie get range or to try to get buyers in, and anyone who has not been able to secure feed, or range elsewhere, can communi- cate with me, and will do what l can to help them.
 Yours truly,
 A. l.. SPELLMEYER.
