The managers and superintendents in all departments of the Northern Arizona Fair, are lining up their work in such splendid shape that it is an easy matter to figure that this years fair is gong to eclipse any former fair held in the Mile High City. The sale of boxes will be started within very short time, this part of the work being in the hands of O. s. Wakeling Fifty of the boxes will be sold at Sl0: and the balance at $500.
 The 1918 fair has adopted as its slogan: Win the War" This will be exemplified by the fact that all prizes in every department will be paid in thrift or war savings stamps. A lib- erty bond booth will be installed on the grounds, where subscriptions will be taken Every one having received trophy from overseas of any charac- ter whatsoeyer is requested to assist the Liberty Loan Committee by bringing or sending the same to the Chamber of Commerce office. This will form an interesting display for the Liberty bond booth and will as sist iu obtaining subscriptions. AY. NJ. C. A. booth will also be stationed on the grounds and plan of educational work mapped out so that when the next Y. M. C. A. drive is started all will understand thor oughly the work of this organization. All carnival privileges on the plaza have been turned over to the Yava- pia County Chapter of the American Red Cross and there is no question but that hundreds of dollars can be taken in from this entertainment. The labor unions in Prescott have of- fered to construct and run the danc- ing pavilion during the three nights of the fair and to turn all funds receiv- cd therefrom over to the Red Cross.
