They bring the rural and city women together and to their mutual advantage. The speaker urged the men to make it a point Co visit these departments at the fair and see what the women were do- ing.
 Ben Ridge. superintendent of the cat tie department. described that very important part of the fair. Everyone in the state should be interested in cattle. he said: it should not take a back seat even for cotton. he declared The cattle department. he stated. was equipped to care for from 900 to 500 cattle.

TO THE VOTERS OF TEMPE
 AND SCOTTSDAlE PRECINCTS

would be glad to meet you all per sonally, but knowing that I cannot do that I take this method of presenting myself to you as the regular Demo cratic nominee for the office of justice of the peace of Tempe and Scottsdale precincts. With the experience I have had as justice of the peace I feel that I am fairly well qualified to admins ter the affairs of the office with just ness and economy. No doubt some of my decisions have been criticised, which is a very natural thing to ex- pect, whether they were right or wrong. But in rendering a decision in something over 700 cases it would have been rather remarkabR if I or any other man had not made any mistakes.
 Tn asking you for your support at the coming election I have no great promises to make more than to say that if I am electedI will serve you as justice of the peace to the best of my ability.
 After giving the matter a due and impartial consideration. if you can ] with justice to yourself and the peo- pie of the precincD give me your vote
