motor vehicle. Despite decreased pro-

motorcycles registered this year than
ever and they arc being put into many
lines of service previously untouched.

a means for pleasure riding. but II IL

WYOMING BUILDS ROADS

Wyoming is attempting to construct
Federal-aid roads which may be used
as highways thruout the entire year.
This is being accomplished in some
parts Of the state by maintaining the
grade line at an elevation which Will
insure the roadbed being swept clean
OF snow.
During or months Of the L in
Wyoming there IL likely to be snow,
which Is generally accompanied by
wind. Any portion Of the highway
which is below the surfnce OF the sur
rounding ground will drift fun OF snow
to q depth equal to the height OF any
nearby object above the grade. say
specialists OF the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. By building
the grade at an elevation slightly
above the surrounding ground and the

II is possible to have a road which will

This can not be accomplished in
every case but on nat or generally
rolling country II has been found that
snow can be practically eliminated
from the roadbed by carefully studying
the conditions and placing the grades
sufficiently high. In many instances
the excavation quantities may appear
to be excessive, as where tho grade

NJ STATE FAIR |S GOING ID BE
 HELD THIS FALL
Industrial Conditions Do Not Warrant Its Holding This Fall Is Decision Plan For Greatest One
 Next Year

Arizona will not hold a state fair this year.
 This announcement was made by Governor Thomas E. Campbell yes- terday following conference be- tween the governor, H. A. Clark of Douglas and J. B. Ryland of Tucson. members of the state fair commits sion
 Believing it contrary to the best Interests of the stae to hold a fair the coming fall, the governor has had the matter of cancelling the event under consideration for the past month. He withheld the appoint ment of a third member of the state fair commission and held up the pub ication of the premium book until he arrived at a decision.
 This is the second time that it has been deemed advisable to cancel the statewide event In 1918, during the world war, the Arizona state fair was not held.
 Industrial conditions at present do not warrant fair, in the opinion Of the governor who believes that it could not be much more than a local affair. This view was shared by many members of the Phoenix Cham Der of Commerce with whom the gov ernor took up the matter some time ago. While the civic organization was in favor of the fair, it also took the attitude that it might become a local event.
 Record One in 1922
 Tt is the sincere hope and expec- tation of the members of the fair commission which I share that next year we may have one of the best fairs in the history" said the chiei executive in discussing the plans yesterday. ''H was in anticipation ol being able to stage banner fair nexi season that we felt reconciled to take the step we have.'
