.MEANEST BUNCH OF BRONCS EVER GOTTEN TOGETHER IS
 ON HAND FOR THE COWBOYS

Special to the Arizona Republican by Lester Ruffner, Arena Director Prescott Frontier Days).
 Visitors at this years Prescott From tier Days contests will see the greatest aggregation of outlaw, man-hating bucking horses and hardhanded, horn headed, cloven- footed COW servants ever gotten together for wild west contests in the great southwest. There will be broncs aplenty for all hands and aplenty of cowboys to ride 'em.
 A great number of new horses will make their appearance in the arena this year. One of the first to bow to the grandstand will be the Laundry man, probably named so because he is SO hard on clothes. The Bedbug will also be in evidence not SkulkinS around after dark, as is customary for such insects, for this particular Bedbug has the nerve to come right out in the middle of the afternoon and bite any cowhand that tamrers with him.
 True to the advertising matter Of wherever the mail goes you will find a Ford applies to this years contest. A pretty little bay pinto named Henry Ford will be in the arena daily; unlike other Fords, this one is equipped with a self-starter and sometimes has one man top. You guessed it the first time son, because he is such a rough-riding wagon. Fried Eggs will be served under the shell daily. The rider who is fortunate enough to draw Fried Eggs will at least be sure of his ration.
 Grey Bob Best Known
 Probably the best-known bucking horse in the west, Grey Bob will be in the arena to perform all such happy go-lucky feats, as he has shown at Winnipeg, Calgary Walla Walla, Pen dleton, and all other places where he has bowed to the grandstand. Nujay. the big brown, slab-sided horse will be there to loosen up any cowpuncher that tries to ride down close to his saddle.
 Some of the old contest horses known to practically all the riders in the southwest many of whom have l been disqualified by them, are Big Sid Vinegar Roane, Johnny Canuell, Pee Wee, Hobbies, Casey Jones, Red Fox | Oscar Wild and Red Wing. These horses have been on pasture since the i 1917 contest and are probably in better condition for tine contest now than al any time past.
 Possibly tine least, but by no nc means the last, horse in the old strins to be taken into consideration is th,

Special to The Arizona Republican, by G. M. Sparkes secretary Yavapai county chamber of commerce and sec retary Prescott Frontier Days)
 Prescott, Arizona, with it's well known hospitality, has again planned it's an- nual frontier days celebration, July 2, 3. and 5, which will be held in the Mile High city, where cool pine breezes always blow. While it is customary to boost each celebration just a trifle over the others, yet the 1919 Frontier Days will be the biggest and best ever staged by the association.
 Since the time the oldest resident of Arizona can remember, Prescott yearly has held a frontier days contest, where the cowboys from the southwest gath cred to pit their brains and brawn against each other In the early days the purses were not so large, but the side bets between the contestants ran into thousands of dollars and paid in gold dust Just recently a medal awarded to Juan Levias in Prescott, Arizona territory, 1888, was turned over to the Frontier Days association as a souvenir. This medal was given for roping and steer tying with 100 yard start. the time of Levias being 1.1712. In other words, insofar as the records go this years celebration will be the 29th Frontier Days held in Arizona. Gradually it has been shown that every section of the state and many of the southwest desired to go to Prescott to celebrate the Frontier Days and for that reason the Prescott Frontier Days has reached it's present stage of per- lection.
 Cowboys Are There
 Today, cowboys from the southwest and northwest, who will be contestants in the Frontier Days events, are taking possession of the Mile High city In his picturesque outfit and clinking boots, the cowboy is the admiration of 7 the newcomer and the pride of the old timer. These men have come to Pres colt attracted by the high cash purses which are offered in the various con- tests, in which fair open competition to the range men of the world, with no one barred, characterize each competi tive event with no favorites played nor contracts given.
 The management of the Frontier Days association stands on it's record that every dollar advertised will be every dollar paid.
 The following main events will be presented on each of the four days con- tests:
 Grand parade of Frontier Days con -testants and visiting horsemen from frontier days headquarters, around the Plaza and to frontier days grounds S25; second, $20, third, s15; fourth s1O; ager and announcer, Harry Knight TC the i've horsemen, appearing in al

but in the Prescott Frontier Days are 2 na are Mickey Malone, Dry Farmer and Twin Six, very flexible, easy on tires. and will speed up any time you give him the gun.
 There are among the new horses some to suit the taste of most any hard boiled hand that comes in to take a try-out. The Chuck Wagon, who believes most any boy is good for a meal if he gets up and scratches; You-Know- -Me-Al is easy to get ac- quainted with but hard to keep com pany with Talk It Over is one of the most considerate old horses ever sad dled in the contest. Sunshine has a good disposition, while Hold Tight brides himself on his weight and nice manners. Then, too, there is the Sky Pilot. always ready for spirited con troversy with any sinful, owl-headed cowpuncher.
 Many contestants are already In the city and have entered in the various events: others have wired in their ap plcation and entrance fees. Hardly mail comes that does not carry dozens of letters from contestants all over the west, signifying their intentions to come and try for some of the purses Many a bronc rider has climbed up or the corral fence, looked over the herd at the Frontier Days arena, picking out in his mind just about the three or four broncs that he would like to scratch at iii order to get the money.
 Prizes Worth Winning
 The first money in the riding event is s400 and a diamond studded gold medal, which was won in the 1911 contest by John Dobbins. The medal is now on display in one of the local stores and quite a number of contest ants have tried to imagine just how their names would look engraved on l another gold bar. In addition to the 1 prone riding, there will be surcingle riding, steer r-breakaway, bull-ridins 1 and bull roping. In other words. there will be a good, liberal supply of bull" | during the contests as well as before
 There will be a number of games for the amateur w-punchers and the fel- low who has not quite nursed his nerve'up to the point where he can get out in the arena and work all by him. 1 self The lady COW hands are not to be overlooked. and there will be races of various kinds for them. Probably one of the most interesting will be the potato race, staged by two mounted teams of five ladies each. All mirrors. powder puffs, switches and false teeth will be checked at the judges stand before the race begins.

 Viscount Edward Grey, former for eign minister of Great Britain, has ac- cepted the post as British ambassador to the United States, according to a dispatch from London. Viscount Grey, 1t has been generally known, has been troubled with his sight for many months and it was recently reported that he was totally blind But after consultation with the greatest of Brit ish oculists and having undergone spe- cial treatment, he is no longer threat ened with total blindness. His ap- pointment to the post at Washington has, according to the dispatch. met with great favor in Great Britain. There has been much demand in Great Britain recently for a material increase in the salary paid to the am bassador at Washington. Viscount Grey, not being wealthy man, it is probable that the increase has been granted.

GERMANS READY TO
CRAB Off ITALIAN
TRADE AF TER PEACE

Milan Tuesday, May 27,-Immense
quantities of German products are
stored in warehouses at Chiasso on
the frontier between Italy and Swift
zerland and it is purposed by Germany
to renew Immediately her commercial
relations with Italy according to Ulys-
ses Bywater of the United States
chamber of commerce. There are
thousands of bicycles of German manu-
facture at Chiasso ready to flood the
market" Mr.. Bywater told the Asso-
ciated Press. There are carloads of
chemicals and dyestuffs which have
already been offered Italian merchants
at extremely low prices.
The high rate of American exchange
makes Italian trading with Americans
most difficult, while the German mark
is at its lowest ebb. This makes the
price when translated into Tyres most
attractive. The direct exchange costs
the Italians three times as much as
the mark exchange. Naturally the
prices OF German goods in Tyres are
very low. There is a sure market for
American goods here but the monetary
situation is very hard and will be solved
only by another American loan or by
the payment Of a large war indemnity
