 MT. and Mrs. J. E. Smith, of Los Angeles, Calif., are visiting their daughters, Mrs. Fay Martin and Mrs Amy Wallace. MT. and Mrs. Smith have wide circle of friends in and around Adamana, MT. Smith being a former agent for the Santa Fe at this point.
 Last Sunday was review day at the Adamana Sunday school, and review ing the incident where David smote Goliath on the forehead with stone, the question was asked a pretty little miss of about eight years, why David hit Goliath on the forehead, where upon the little miss promptly replied because the forehead is the weakest part of any mans head"
 MT. and Mrs. J. M. Glossy are our newest reighbors. They came from Joseph City, where MT. Glossy was employed by the Santa Fe.
 Miss Mary Beasley, who has for the past few months been employed in the home of Major J. M Donohoe as governess, has returned to her home in Adamana. Miss Mary, after driv- ing out all the men folks has consent ed to keep house for her brother, Luther, while he attends school.

STATE FAIR
 OCTOBER IA, l5, l6,

Prescott is well prepared to care for the many visitors who will go to the Northern Arizona State Fair, which will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 14th, 18th and 16th. The entertainment features are such as should attract the largest crowd ever attendant upon this fair. The educational inspirations to be gathered at this fair, are worth the journey of hundreds of miles Low excursion rates will be in effect from all points in northern Arizona Thous- ands of dollars will be distributed in prize money for exhibits. The racing program at the grounds is attracting horsemen from Colorado, New Mex ico, Utah and all sections of Arizona The fastest program to be run at this fair will mark the 1920 fair. Ford automobile races each day will give plenty of fun and excitement to those desiring the more strenuous lines of sport.
 Under the auspices of the American Federation of Art, collection of for ty-three masterpieces will be exhibit ed by the art department. This col lection has recently been shown at Stanford University and at many of the larger institutions of learning on the Pacific coast The Northern Ari- zona State Fair association in pre- senting this collection to the visitors of the fair, believes it is rendering a tangible and helpful service in spread ing the knowledge of art to the resi- dents of northern Arizona, who are remote from art centers. The collec- tion is valued at S100,000.

YELLOW SENSATIONALISM PEDDLED FOR
 PROFIT TO SUCKERS THAT BITE EASY

It is an old saying that you must go away from home to get the news.
 In an advertisement in a Los An geles paper it gives us the info1ma- ton that oil will be brought in here within the next ten days. Another California paper says there is great excitement in the Holbrook field, and the town is at a fever heat. The Verde Copper News is bringing in a couple of wells right off the bat, and two prospective investors were wan dering around town Wednesday in an aimless manner looking for the boom, expecting to stand at the end of a long line to buy oil wells, and sich, and engage a place to bunk.
 There is always a big fish fry" at the striking of oil in a new territory.
 The word fish as applied to the human family means to most of us a sucker, or one who is taken in by the alluring bait of something for nothing, or one who is made to believe he is getting that which he is not.
 Back in the early days of Connecti cut, when the blue blood of the Pill grim Fathers was still running, a shrewd, clever fellow made a fortune selling nutmegs to fish that were made of oak, and so many fish were found that grated the oak wood over their famous New England pumpkin pies that Connecticut was dubbed the Nut meg state, in order that the poor fish

that bought the nutmegs would not lose their identity.
 We had them there in great schools before the empire took up it's trail to the land of the setting sun, and in its wake the hordes of the finny tribe spilled it's spawn over every trail over the great divide leading from the At lantic to the Pacific slope, and in the palny days of the golden west, the most popular pastime was looking for sucker that would strike at the all turing bait of many brands.
 With the coming of the emigrants from every quarter of the globe, the many methods of securing suckers were improved upon, until the new conner, who was once a sucker, has so improved himself that he has been able to retain his equihgrium in the whirlpool of give and take in the maelstrom in which he swims, and he imagines himself an acknowledged authority in lodging the bait ever dangling before his eyes.
 There will be lots of bait laid out when northern Arizona begins to bring to the surface her hidden treas ure. Such is always true when moth CT earth cuts pie.
 While this field has been brought in divers times on paper-it is not in yet-but the prospects are so encour- aging that the over-zealous ones are simply slipping a few notches for the

WHAT'S DOING IN
 THE OIL FIELD

All of the carload of casing recently arrived for the Holbrook Oil company, has been delivered at the well. Un- fortunately some delay has been en- countered through having to order one or two items of equipment neces- sary for setting the casing as the wrench accompanying the shipment was of the wrong kind. The new ma terial is being shipped by the Oil Well Supply Co.,, and should reach here to- night and work will be started Satur- day in running this string of casing.
 The new bull wheel is in place, der rick strengthened, nev.. eight inch bits procured, blacksmith forge rearrang- ed and all other needed equipment and work has been secured and done to make drilling by the middle of the coming week a reasonable certainty, towers being run as before. In the parlance of the football crew, it looks as though the final "touch down" will soon be made.
 Head driller, Irving Carl, will ar rive from the coast where he has been spending his vacation pending the ar rival of casing and equipment, and will at once proceed to the well and take charge of the work.
 Considering there is plenty of fuel on hand, water in abundance, rig re- inforced, competent crew, and full equipment there is every reason to be- lieve that the result at the Holbrook Oil company well will soon be known.

 The lease recently filed for record with the county recorder, wherein w. B. Lindsay, ct al, take over certain portions of the immense acreage of the Aztec Petroleum Securities Co.,, has been of common knowledge for some time, but an inference may be obtained from the filing at this time that this coterie of capitalists consid- CT the time ripe for getting matters in shape by proper record.
 This deal has been heretofore men toned by the News as being the most important transaction that has yet taken place in the field, and the entry of this syndicate after thorough ex- animation of the structure by their eminent geologist, but verifies the findings of Chas. Edward Major, and further justifes the confidence that has been felt by the operators since the inception of development.
 The lease specifies that lessee is to drill four wells and this means that this large and valuable acreage will be well developed, and a further effect will probably be the entry of other interests into this field.
 While not yet ready for publicity, for business reasons, the News can state with some certainty that deal is practically completed that will mean the early drilling of another well by parties already prominently identified with the development of this field. This statement has no boomerang attachment.

JOS. s. FISH STRIKES
 FOR ATTORNEY JOB

Joseph S. Fish, who received the nomination on the republican ticket for county attorney, and who, it has been repeatedly said, would not make the race, this week throws his hat in the ring and is out with his announce ment, and his many friends in Hol- brook and throughout the county, are boosting his stock-and it is at pres ent on rising market.
 Joseph Fish was born in Snowflake, the little town with a reputation for hospitality and politicians, thirty-five years ago and received his early edu- cation there.
 He received his college degree from the University of Utah, and later was graduated from the College of Law at the University of Chicago.
 After his graduation he practiced law three years in Salt Lake Kitty before returning to Navajo county, where he has been engaged in educa- tional work for some time at the academy in Snowflake.
 He has never abandoned the law. however, and has been successful in many cases in the minor courts in the south end of the county.
 MT. Fish is young, vigorous and am bitious-has a host of loyal friends throughout the county-and will be found in the running to the end-and probably then some.
