1.-THE RELIGION OF ROOSEVELT

Next Sunday, October 18th, all the churches in the United States are asked to give attention to the theme of "Americanism," as typified by Theodore Roosevelt. Accordingly, at the Church of the Epiphany at the Il a. m. service the sermon by the rector will deal with "The Religion of Roose- welt"
 Perhaps you are more accustomed to hearing sermons on the religion of Isaiah and other prophets, or the
 religion of St. Peter and other apos- ties, and so have thought religion only thing of ancient times. MT. Roose- welt by word and deed translated "the old-time religion" into modern Aneri- can life. Possibly you are one of the many who think religion is only for women and children and effeminate men. In Mir. Roosevelt we find re- ligion as the driving power of a great personality--a real, red-blooded man.
 The doors of this church are open to all the people of Flagstaff. Come to church on Sunday morning; 1t will be benefit to you and to all.

CONDITION OF LIVE STOCK
 AND RANGES IN ARIZONA

Rainfall over the range district dur ing the month of Septe mber was the heaviest in twenty-two years of rec ord, and in the two weess of October has averaged slightly above normal. Such an unusual amount of moisture has resulted in the complete maturity of many grasses and continued long growth of browse. Not in years has there been such a complete seeding of ranges as has occurred this season.
 The usually dry an,l dessicating month of November this year holds few fears for the stockr1an as an abundance of forage of all kinds will carry range animals safely throu gh that trying month leaving them in good shape for the winter. A hefvy movement of stock from the high summer ranges is now on and animals are in the best condition known in years at this time.
 Showers were general during the past week and were generally bene- fcial, freshening vegetation and fill ing up reservoirs. Our telegraphic reports continue to indicate that stock and ranges in all sections are gener- ally in excellent condition.

CROP PROGRESS IN ARIZONA


 Fall work has been greatly helped by showers that were well distributed over the state. The soil is in excel lent condition for blowing and for the reception of seed. Owing to favorable conditions prevailing the past year an increased acreage of fall grain is be- ing planted in number of places. A large acreage of corn has been cut in dry-land sections, the yield both as to quality and quantity being the best in many years.
 The cutting of maize, feterita, heg- ari, etc., progressed in irrigated sec tions with an excellent yield. Yams and sweet potatoes in the Salt River Valley and cabbage in the Skull Val ley section are an excellent crop, the latter being shipped in quantities to various parts of the state. Cotton picking and ginning in irrigated sec tions progresses favorably.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
 IN COCONINO COUNTY

Continued from Page D Mir. Wilson's office, on next Monday night, at which the permanent cam paign committee and the solicitors will be named.
 On October 19, all churches are ask ed to hold memorial services. On October 24, all the schools are asked to have exercises, covering especially Americanism as typifed by Roosevelt. The school committee for the county includes Miss Francis, county superin- tendent of schools; J. o. Creager, the principal of the Normal school; O. H. Richardson, principal of the Emerson school, and the principal of the Will Hams school. Father Vabre went to Williams yesterday to get the work under way there.
 Father Vabre says: Any school contributing any amount, however small, will receive certificate from the national headquarters of the Roosevelt Memorial Association, New York City, as a perpetual memorial, and the names of all contributors will be preserved in the archives of the monument.
 "The paltry amount the county is asked to contribute is nothing com pared to the great friendship and in. terest Theodore Roosevelt manifested in this part of the country. He spent three months in Coconino county in 1913.
 "His was life that embraced all the walks of life; and we can safely follow his precepts and example in be- ing true to American citizenship"
 Father Vabre urges that "when they come to you for your contribution you will remember the cause for which you have the opportunity of ocntrib- uting."
 Colonel Joseph H. McClintock, of Phoenix, is Arizona state director of the campaign. The state executive committee is composed of: Governor T. E. Campbell, w. c. Foster, Jos. H. McClintock, Dwight B. Heard, all of Phoenix; Allen E. Ware, Kingman; John c. Greenway, Warren; James s. Douglas, Douglas; and E. s. Clark, of Prescott.
 Col. McClintock writes The Sun, un- | der date of October IA:
 "The movement is non-partisan in the largest degree. The response has already been hearty from Arizona, a state in which Roosevelt was held in deepest affection"

MEXICAN WINS AT F. A. c.
 CARNIVAL MONDAY NIGHT
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D
 he got into hot mix-up, did not in- crease his popularity.
 Pena had the best of the first two rounds. Scott had bad cold and it affected his wind in the earlier part of the fight, but he began to improve in the third round, while Pena did not show the class II did at the very start. Honors were about even in the third and fourth rounds. The fifth was Pena's. The sixth was Scott's by good margin, and he had a shade the best of it in the seventh. He started we'll in the eighth, but met a fast stiffenhg resistance before the round was half over. In the ninth and tenth Pena had things pretty much his own way, though Scott did land one in the ninth that jolted the "chili" boy some.
 immediately after the fight, Bud Anderson, in behalf of Scott, chal- lenged the winner to another fight in two weeks. It is understood that the challenge was accepted and that we will have an opportunity to see them in action again. Anderson seemed to think that a couple of weeks training would enable Scott to knock Pena out. But it will take good many times two weks training to make him as clever as the Mexican, though he cer- tainly can hit harder and, with proper handling, should eventually be able to best him.
 Neither man has much of a left, and neither is classy in feinting or seems to know anything about short-arm | jabbing work; but both are game. and cool, and capable of keeping crowd we'll entertained.
 Scott has a couple of fights in Phoe- nix during the next few days, and Pena one in Phoenix and one in Mesa. The first preliminary was red-hot | two-round affair between "Kid" Will Hams and "Kid" Hoffman, two cave boys about thirteen years old, who slammed each other an average of 75 times a minute. Williams was de- clared the winner by Referee Hennes- sey, though we respectfully submit that it should have been draw.
 Dolph Bader and Frank Zaleski put up an exhibition of catch-as-catch-can wrestling that covered both them selves and Trainer Andy Samsky with glory. Mir. Charlebois announced that they had been in training only two weeks. They were very evenly match ed and neither could put the others shoulders to the mat. In their several training bouts each had thrown the other once.
 Paul (''Kid") Smitch, the cowboy scrapper, and Bryan ("Kid") Peck the milling barber, went four rounds in the semi-fnal. Smitch covered up in the first part of the scrap, and Peck had hard time landing on him direct, though he did get in couple of stiff ones that brought blood to the cowboys cheek. After that Smitch uncorked some fizzers that soon had Peck in a peck of trouble. Referee c. D. Anderson, now farmer out Spring Valley way, who used to knock l pugilists out as a regular pastime declared it a draw. Peck had landed oftenest, though he obviously would have been defeated by his heavier an tagonist in longer battle.
 All told, it was a good show, in cluding the music furnished by MT Costigan, manager of the theater. II is to be hoped that these events will recur often.

AS HAMLET MIGHT SAY

To join the League or not to join, That is the question Whether 'tis nobler to embroil our
 selves In endless foreign strife, Or heed the advice of our illustricus
 fathers, To concern ourselves with such ills as
 we have And not take on others That we know not of.
