GOOD WORK BEING DONE
 BY. COMMERCIAL CLUB

The regular monthly meeting of the Prescott Commercial Club was held at the court house auditorium Thurs day night, attended by about 35 out of membership of 65. This session proved to be one of the most profit able and enthusiastic on record. Each of the members seem to have taken an individual interest in the workings of the club and no hesitancy is felt in expressing their opinion in the ses- sion, which is ample proof of the in- tcrest.
 The different committees reported progress made during the past four weeks. The committee on agriculture reported the purchase of $5,OO0 worth of cotton seed, including Rowden, Me bane and Lone Star, a solid car of Rowden being in the order. These seed will be sold to the growers by the Commercial Club at actual cost and will be handled at the Farmers Union Warehouse, in charge of Mir. Westmoreland, the weigher. The growers will be asked to replace the half and half seed with these good seed. One action of the agricultural committee which is very commend able and which should have the hearty support of the entire country, is the giving away at an early date of ten thoroughbred sows to ten boys in Ne vada county The boys will keep the sows under the direction of the Con- mercial Club and will give back to the club one of the pigs produced by the SOW. The club will in turn give the pig to another boy in the county who will follow the example of the first boy, thereby placing in charge of the coming farmers of the county num- Der of fine hogs which will increase each year.
 The club went on record as favor ing the establishing of a laundry in the city. A citizen of Prescott is con- templating putting in one and the club at last nights meeting gave the proposed project their hearty support. The proposition of erecting another hotel in Prescott is progressing, ac- cording to the committee in charge of this work.
 The secretary of the club, Randolph P. Hamby has taken up with the Ar kansas Corporation Commission the matter of hnadling express on Mis- souri Pacific train number 233. The company has refused to supply the needed service. A grievance commit tee was appointed for the purpose of hearing all complaints of the citizens on any question of public nature.
 The time of regular meetings was changed from one night in each month to two nights and from this date the regular meetings of the club will be held the second and fourth Thursday nights. The club accepted the invita- tion of Mayor R. P. Hamby to use the city hall for it's meetings during the winter months. The next meeting which falls on Thanksgiving, will be |held on Wednesday night, November 26. instead of Thursday night.

colt, will permit the moving of the
building to another part of the tract
on which it stands 1t was thought
possible that by moving the old
building short distance from where
it stands, it could make room for a
large plant, such as the legion plans
and permit of the installation of
steam heat The legion members
would like to see the status of the
structure changed from a private res
idence to semi-public or fully pub
lie building, where a meeting place
and rest room could be fitted up for
members of the association and their
friends. This would give the legion a
meeting hall entirely separate from
the community house
On the return of DR.. H. T. South
worth, commander of the post, the
committee in charge of the plans for
the community club will present its
draft to the general citizens meeting
for approval, and the work of rails

hall will be started.

1t is understood that the enlisted

Discussion with the state govern
ment respecting the erection of a
community memorial building by
Yavapai county on the block set
aside as grounds for the First Capitol
building, has been taken up by the
executive committee of the Ernest
Love Post, American Legion, and the
governor of Arizona, it became
known yesterday.
That the oldest capitol building is
not being kept as a memorial of olden
days, a place of memories sacred to
the formative stages of the Territory
of Arizona, is the charge made by
members OF the legion, who believe
that the memorial building associa-
ton, or whatever form is taken by
the organization they are backing,
will give more careful attention to
the preservation of this old relic than
it now gets.

country friends and neighbors will
look out for the big brown army tent
and head for it when they are tired OF
looking at the exhibits and sports.
I am telling you about this rest

woman who hesitates about coming
to the fair because she knows the
children will get so tired will just
decide to come and to bring the little
folks othe tent to rest. l hope to
meet all OF our Yavapai pioneers and
ask them beforehand to plan to make
the rest tent their headquarters.
Among the things which we will
see at the fair and which we ought to
plan to give some special attention
are the exhibits which various mer-
chants and manufacturers will have
there. Often we pass these things
by as OF little interest to us person
ally but in reality they are one OF the
very valuable features for here in

soon see that the conditions COM

had lost enough time alone, not

What We Can See In Our

little difference there is in then
prices and those in the stores here a
home l have always been very
close and careful buyer and it ha.
interested me to watch the changes
which the war and the needs OF the
Old World have made in merchandise
and prices. feel sure that today We
in the smaller ceuters OF population
can be served by our home mer
chants with better results as to quail
ity and price than we could get II
most large cities.
| notice especially in the new fall
goods now coming out in all the
home stores better quality than dur
ing the war, charming styles an6
colors and d very marked reduction
in prices. | think it would surprise
most country buyers to look over the
stores as often as l do and see what
good stocks are carried and how sat
isfactory this home service is.
For instance, 1 have just been en-
joying the new things for women and
children at the Bashford- Burnister
Company. Forevermore no one car

such harmony OF color l have never

And the styles and prices are both
more pleasing than for years past.
We were told that colored shoes
were to be out of reach but in the
Tribby shoe store where they have

girls and boys l saw many delightful
hings for ladies in lovely shades OF

The old man sat in the park at the
turn OF Spring,
And the branches overhead were
misty and shimmering
With faint, thin buds OF green
His eyes were misty and wide and
seeing far
Toward the east where the snow
peaks bar,
And the tall pines lean.
He was watching ghosts come down
that street that was once a road,
Indians, moccasin-shod, pack mules
with their dusty load,
Where the lost green willows were.
The wagon trains drew in under trees
that are ashes and dust;
He saw his comrades in blue-whose
sabres and guns are rust,
And the smoke OF their dead fires
blur
His eyes to the things that are-but
the other things are bright;
Men from forgotten graves, bicouacs
of vanished night;
Bugles forever mute.
How they crowd, brave ghosts. down
the road that is now street!

springs like d boy to his feet
And his hand goes up in salute.

is misty and shimmering.

The Coming Fair.

Yes, we are going 10 talk about the
coming fair. the best fair that North
err Arizona has ever planned for
We are going to keep talking about
It right now instead OF three weeks
from now because this Is the time
when every one OF Us should be get
ting ready something special 10 enter
for a prize-and not be caught going
around in front OF the exhibits that
wear the blue ribbons and saying
"GeeI l had lots better stuff than that
at home if I'd only got busy and
brought II in. You bet I'll be think
ing ahead next year before October
10th comes around"
Part OF my own fun at our Prescott
fairs has been to follow around and
listen to just such things-and l
knew that often they were true; the
good stuff LETT at home on all our
ranches would have made a fine show
ing. whether II captured the ribbons
or not
The fact that John Bianconi goes
all over Yavapai each year collecting
exhibits for the fair does not relieve
any OF Us OF our duty to do some
thing special to help the success OF
the event. Mr. Bianconi Is busy
man and II he saw everything good
OF all our ranches he would need to
work p hours day from now till
the gates open. It IS up to all OF us
to help things along by taking an
hour off and planning what a fine
exhibit we can make and how attract
lively we can get it up and most OF all
how valuable we can make it as an
illustration OF what Northern Arizona
Is doing and can do in the agricultural
line
This big fair belongs in the fullest
sense to us country people; 1t is got
ten up on purpose to show what we
have been doing all year long. Fox
these three days we country people
are the guests OF the City OF Prescott
and the products OF our ranches and
mines and stock ranges are the
whole show" Santa Claus may boss
Christmas, and George Washington
may have his finger in things on the
Fourth OF July, but at fair time the
farmers and miners and stoC1nen
are IT Let Us meet the efforts OF
the lair association with d whole
hearted response and plan to bring to
this coming lair not only the best OF
what we have grown but the utmost
good will and appreciation and a
whole-souled determination to do our
part to make every day a success.
I remember so many years when
we out at Orchard Ranch were so
busy setting our fall work done, car
ing for fruit and crops and stock as
best we could before winter came on,
that we forgot all about the fair till
the very DAY OF the opening and il we
went at all hurried III about the last
day and were 50 sort OF unprepared
mentally that we didn't get much out
OF It except regret that we hadn'
planned to see 1t with some sense OF
leisure.

that was real amszement at the
