Teach Child Courtesy.

Good manners in children as well -
grown people are the expression Of
an innate consideration for the rights,
privileges md opinions of other peo-
pie.
Years of experience have crystal
lized this feeling into certain conven-
tional forms of expression, which ev-
cry child should be taught. The lit
tie habits of courtesy. which should
>Se part of every day life. are really
the outward and visible sign of an
inward grace" Few acquisitions are
more valuable to anyone than that
charm of manner which wins the inn
mediate regard of everyone With whom
they come into contact.

Novem- Der to 13.
 Locally" said Mir Ridge. there will not be as large an exhibition as has sometimes been shown in the past, but never in the history of state fairs has the stock exhibited been in such excel lent show condition. Three full herds belonging Go local breeders are, now being exhibited in a stock show in Los Angeles. These will make a tour of northern California and then return to Arizona in time for the stock display here. Obviously these cattle will be q fin wonderful condition, having been on show for three months preceding the fair hero. These splendid herds belong Co Frank Reed Sanders, exhibiting Holsteinss. Alexander R. MacMinn, showing Ayrshires. and Rabbit Broth CTS & CoWden. showing Herefords."
 Several new breeders in this vicinity are deeply interested in the 1920 fair and will make showings of their stock MT. Ridge has had word from breeders in all parts of the state that they will be down with animals in unusually fine condition. Arizona stock will be given competition by several dairy herds from California and some herds of beef breeds from Texas. Mir. Ridge wishes to call attention of cattlemer to the fact that it is important for those expecting to place animals or exhibition Go begin preparations Ions before the date of the fair. since cattle must be selected. fattened and groomed. as the show condition of the stock is of prime importance in judg- ing it.

FOUND, X WOMAN NOT. .AF RAID OF A MOUSE

Mrs. Rose Hayden proved the ex- ception to the rule yesterday whens single handed and alone, she captured a mouse after, four men gave up the job as hopeless
 Did Mrs. Hayden use trap to catch the mouse?
 We'll say she didn't.
 She stopped down and laid her hand over the animal. Then very gently she took it by the tail, attempting to pass it on. The male attaches Of the state house who had been detailed to make the killing gave wild shriek. and Mrs. Hayden then coolly dropped the mouse in a nearby pail of water.
 Afraid of a mouse" laughed Mrs; Hayden. "Why should be? am used to all sorts of animals-tame and wild.
 The answer is that Mrs. Hayden is sister of Joe V. Prochaska, state game warden, and as good sports woman as he is a sportsman. When she reached the state house yesterday she found the janitors and two or three other men on a mouse hunt. They were armed for the quest and were rather amused at her offer of coop eration, but the amusement turned to intense intense admiration when they actually saw woman take mouse up in her hands.
