SOUTHWESTERN FORESTS CRAZE MILLION AND A HALF
 LIVESTOCK

The secretary of agricul- ture has authorized the graz ing of 901, $50 head of sheep and goats, 541, 75O head of cattle and horses and 3,355 head of swine on the Arizona and New Mexico National forests for the grazing year beginning April 1, 1920. These stock are divided be- tween the two states as fol- lows: Arizona, 352, 200 cat tie and horses, 365, 500 sheep and goats, 1855 swine, and New Mexico, 189, $50 cattle and horses, 536,050 sheep and goats, 1,500 swine.
 The number of stock actu- ally grazed will be much greater than the number shown in the above figures, as according to the national forest regulations stock un- der six months of age at the beginning of the grazing season are neither counted nor charged for. The above numbers of stock are owned by about zoo cattlemen and 800 sheepmen. By the estimate of forest service officials, the owners will derive a gross revenue in beef, mutton and wool next fall amounting to over $15,- 900, 1000.
 The bulk of the time of the field force of the forest service in the two states is now engaged in considering grazing applications, the al- Eotment of range on the basis of the applicants qualifica- tions, and issuing grazing permits. Within the next few days the summer ranges will be open. Counting the stock as it enters the forest, directing the permitees to their allotments, supervising the use of the range so as to secure an even utilization of range and increased carry ing capacities through pro per distribution of range inn provements will be among the major projects of the forest service during the coming summer.

FRONTIER DAY CELEBRATION

Stay, Cowboy! Let 'Er Buck, Prescott's off for the biggest celebration to be h e l d in the Southwest. Others may initiate, but the real genuine article will be found in the Mile High City, on July 2-3-4-5th, when the cowboys of the range will vie with each other in the sports of the mountains and plains. These contests call for brain and brawn and when the man is pronounced winner by the judges which the contestants choose, that fellow who wins the money and the honors knows that he has, done so fairly and squarely.
 T h e Prescott Frontier Days Association has been in existence for thirty two years and since the year 1888 there has always been held in Prescott cowboy con- tests, which attract hun dreds of visitors not only from the southern section of Arizona, but from every part of the State and interested lspectators from one end of the world to the other.
 The first medal to be given in the entire West is in the hands of the Frontier Days committee. This was pur- chased by He'd" Aitken, then secretary and treasurer of the celebration which was held in Prescott on July 4th, 1888, and was awarded to Juan Leivas who contested for the medal over all com petitors at this celebration for roping and tying steer. His time was 1.17 1-2 with 100 yard start. Juan Leivas taugh Carol w. Davis to ride when Davis was a mere boy. Today Shorty" as he is familiarly known through out country is one of the Heading stockmen of tn e IState. This medal was re- covered from a silver scrap l donated to the AviatorS fund during the Great World war and was purchased by c. w. Davis and H. D. Aitken and presented by them to the Ipresent Prescott Frontier l Days Association to be kept as a souvenir.
 Plans for the big contest are now well under way at Prescott. That city h a s maintained it's reputation Iamong the big shows of the country in that it's manage ment has always given a fair, square deal to the con- testants. Every dollar ad- vertised has been every dol lar paid. No contracts have been given and no favorites played.

THE STORY OF
 PLEASE GET MARRIED"

is affianced to Ferdinand Oliver Walton, who lacks three months of being of a g e. Robert Walton, a widower and father of Fer dinand is violently opposed to the marriage. Theyoung couple have been engaged so long they are thoroughly sick of this unhappy state.
 Provided with a marriage license to forestall Ferdy's irate father, they make their way to the country home of the brides parents. There, it happens, "Soapy' Higgins and "the Parson" are in the act of relieving the Ashleys of their plate and other valu- ables. When the little bride to-be goes upstairs to get her wedding clothes the two intruders hide and later one of them, "Soapy," escapes. The Ashleys are there, as they sympathize with the young couple, and when the Parson finally makes his presence known having no other alternative they i'm mediately mistake him for the Rev. Jenkins, a local minister, and importune him to tie the knot. This he does.
 The "newlyweds" q f o r that-is what they firmly be-  lieve themselves to be- start on their honeymoon, with Ferdy's father in hot pursuit. He discovers that the man who married them is a thief. Then word reaches the hotel to which they have repaired that the pair have been il- legally welded and they are interrupted in their marital career even before they can get started, when they are ordered from the hotel.
 In their night clothes they make their way to the fire escape and after the excite ment has blown over, return to their ro0ns, only to be driven forth again when the hotel catches fire.
 The next morning the pair return to the home of the Ashleys and learn that a de- tective has been set on their trail. Then they learn that that the Parson was a burg lar, when they had believed him te be a regular clergy man. Muriel is horror striken and Ferdy is beside himself with embarrassment and chagrin.
 Ferdy's father, m e a n while, has ''fallen" for the blandishments of a giddy spinster and prepares to marry her. It is Ferdy's turn to remonstrate, but it is in vain. The elder Wal ton goes for the real Rev. Jenkins, with the idea of a double ceremony.
 Parson, on another burgl- ing venture in the house, is struck over the head by Ferdy and rendered uncon- scious. The Rev. Jenkins comes in and recognizes the Parson as a bona fide clergy imam. The Parson awakens from his coma and finds that Ferdy's blow has re- stored him memory. He had been suffering wi t h amnesia and of course had no recollection of his pilfer- ling expeditions.
 So everything is all right.
 Feray turns to Muriel and says: "Come on, little wife"
