U.S.R.R. ADMINISTRATION
 ASKS SHIPPERS TO SHIP
 GOODS EARLY THIS YEAR

A "Ship Early" campaign is being waged up and down the coast by agents of the United States Railroad administration, who hope thereby to avert winter congestion and lesson the demands that will be made upon the railroads during the season of heavy shipments. How the public may assist in the campaign is pointed out by traf- fife officers in this vicinity:
 (1) Industries should store during the present summer months sufficient material to meet their needs for the coming winter.
 (2) Wholesale concerns and distrib- utors should persuade customers to take immediate delivery of goods.
 (3) Encourage the use wherever possible of additional storage space for factory products nearest the point of ultimate consumption.
 (4) Fuel oil consumers should stock up for their own protection.
 (5) Hold question of early move ment and storage of lumber for com mercial purposes in abeyance for pres ent.
 (6J Comply with fuel administra- tion's suggestions as to storage of coal
 Traffic representatives are already making a careful canvas of all indus tries, wholesale houses, jobbers, retail CTS and other receivers and shippers of freight located on their lines, with a view to securing their cooperation.

NORTHERN ARIZONA FAIR
 NSATPRESCOTT OCT.
(By G. M. Sparkes)

The sixth annual northern Arizona fair will be held in Prescott Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October IT, IS and 19. This fair will be the biggest and best ever held by the northern counties. Every effort will be made by the management of the association to make this event conform strictly to the lines desired by the government, for such entertainments.
 All premiums in every department will be paid in Thrift and War Saw ings Stamps. This item alone will meet with the hearty approval of ev- cry exhibitor, as it will go a long way towards boosting the Arizona quota for the sale of Thrift Stamps.
 I-s .-,.o -A--: department, a special gal lery will be set apart where the pho- tographs and pictures of all men in service from northern Arizona will be displayed. This will form one of the most interesting collections of photo- graphs ever displayed in the state of Arizona.
 The program will be under the su- pervision of the famous Fox film star, Tom Mix, and Lester Ruffner. The Tom Mix company has in it's employ sixty actors, famed in the art of reel work. The program will be varied, including many novel military stunts.
 Admission to the grounds will be free to all men in U S. uniform or the uniform of any of our allies. By the opening of the fair there will be hundreds of soldiers stationed at Whipple barracks. which will tend to increase the interest in the fair.
 Railroad rates are now being ar ranged. One of the best brass bands in the state of Arizona haa been en- gagged to play the concerts during the fair.
