FAIR TROPHIES
 NOW ON DISPLAY

A rich display of silver and copper cups occupies the window of White and Wesley on West Adams street, consisting of six trophies to be awarded to winners of the various events at the coming Arizona state fair which will be held in Phoenix November 3 to inclusive.
 Foremost in beauty and design is the cup which will be presented by Gov ernor Campbell to the winner of the governors derby, one and one-six- teenth miles, which will be run off as the feature on the racing program Friday, November '.
 Another beautiful cup is that which will be presented by the fair commis- sion to the post of the American legion having on display the finest collection of war trophies on American Legion day, November G.
 Another of the cups is to be pre- scented by the fair commission to win ners of the competitive cadet drill. | Cadet organizations from all over the state are expected to enter this contest which will be staged as one of the | picturesque features of American Le- zion day.
 Unique in design and material is the l go to the owner of the trotter or pacer making the fastest heat in the Arizona copper stakes of s5,000 each. Another cup of magnificent propor- tions and of exquisite design is that which will be awarded the winner of the amateur aerial race from Los An geles to Phoenix.
 Another cup equally attractive is the splendid example of the silversmith' s art, which is to be presented by White and Wesley to the winner of the Bank head highway classic road race from Fl Paso to Phoenix which already is attracting wide attention throughout the country.
 Representatives of the Fl Paso chamber of commerce were given an opportunity to view this trophy and many compliments were passed on the beauty or it's design and the exquisite execution of the engraving
 White and Wesley's display is at tracting unusual attention and is serv- ing to increase interest in the coming fair which gives promise of eclipsing all former affairs of the kind.
 The chief concern of the fair com mission is over the problem of ade- quate housing of the city's guests dur ing fair week. The commission says that unless private homes are thrown open, thousands of visitors will be turned away from the city All house. holders are urged by the commission to list their spare accommodations with the state fair housing committed of the chamber of commerce.

NJ POSTAGE TO BE CHARGED IN
 ARMY GOODS

All delivery charges on army surplus materials purchased by mail order from the army store in Fl Paso will be paid by the government, according to a government announcement just received by the local postoffice. Pur- chaSes amounting to more than S2 will be insured by the government, the an- nouncement adds
 Yesterdays government announce ment reached Phoenix just in time to settle one of the perplexing problems of the buying of surplus army ma terials from the governments 24 re- tail stores throughout the country the problem of postage. Ever since the sale of army supplies began through the government stores Sep tember 25, the postoffice and news paper offices have received numerous queries as to the postage rates. Some thought the regular parcel post rates would be charged. officials inclined to the opinion that the first zone rate would apply to all purchases, but no one knew. And all the time prospect i've buyers were wanting to know just exactly how much postage should ac- company their orders.
 Yesterdays announcement settled the problem, and at the same time gave prospective customers of the government retail stores a thrill No postage should accompany the order at all; the government will pay all de- livery charges. It costs no more to buy by mail order than it does over the counter.
 The government retail stores for this district is at Fl Paso, Texas. The of- ficial address is Army Quartermaster Retail Stores Division, Fl Paso. Only new articles will be sold by mail order, renovated goods being sold over the counter only. Cash. postal money or der or certified check for the amount of the purchase must accompany each order. Uncertified checks will not be accepted.
 | Nearly everything from cotton socks to blankets, towels to brooms, thimbles to flag staffs and gloves to underwear may be purchased through the store where the surplus materials of the army are being sold. Wool blankets cost s6 each, cotton blankets 8 a pair combination overalls $2.50 a pair, and so on down the line, each article being offered at a price generally well below current retail prices
 Complete lists of the articles for sale and the price of each may be seen at the postoffice.

DENVER BOXER WANTS
 BOUTS IN THIS C|TY

Rube Smith, well known middle west boxer, is anxious to come to Phoenix and perform before the boxing fans of this community. This much he said in a letter addressed to Jene Ala of Mack Gardners diamond store, with whom he has been acquainted for the past several years.
 In his communication. however, Rube neglected to set forth many es- sential details about himself-at least, points that would probably be essential to local club booking him for bout. In the first place, he did not give his fighting weight, any of his ring his- tory or the amount necessary to bring him here.
 But he did not neglect to state that he was in good trim and anxious to show Phoenix fans that he is the best boy of his weight in these parts.

GRIFFIN WITH FOUR
 GOLD STRIPES HERE

Horace B. Griffen, Jr.. of Tempe, prior to the war southside correspond ent for the Republican, has returned from France, the first man in the valley so far as is known to wear four gold stripes denoting two years service overseas.
 Griffen was one of the first men to enlist after the war broke out. He en- tered the engineers and went overseas with the First division. He remained with that fighting organization throughout the war, later transferring to the quartermaster corps.
 Although he went through the heaviest of the fighting overseas with the First and had any amount of har- rowing experiences, Griffen has re- turned none the less for wear.
 He has not decided yet to what line of endeavor he will engage in.

TO THE PUBLIC

So many inquiries have come to this office relative to the visit of Senator Reed to this state that I deem it ad visable to inform the public, especially the democrats of the state, that the state democratic central committee has nothing whatever to do with bringing Senator Reed to Arizona.
 I understand that the League for the Preservation of American Independ ence, just recently organized, of which Assistant State Engineer Fritz Holm quist is president, will receive the sen ator upon his arrival in Phoenix and entertain him during. his stay here.
