THE LACK OF RAINS
 MAKE BAD RANGES

With the exception of light rain in the southeast, dry weather prevailed in all portions of the district and in consequence stock and range condi- tions are less favorable owing to the long continued absence of precipita- tion. In less favored sections stock are beginning to exhibit some falling off as the water supply is becoming deficient. In the White Mountain sec tion where usually favorable condi- tions obtain it is reported to the Weather Bureau that water is scarce and cattle failing. In other portions of the major grazing areas stock and range are still reported good. The reporter at Douglas states that some portions of the range will have sui ficient feed for winter but the great CT part IS in poor shape but cattle are not yet feeling the effect of poor range. Large numbers of sheep have been driven from Utah to pasture on the Arizona strip north of the cclo- rado river.
 Contrary to the general belief of few years ago, the sub-tropical cli- mate of this section is proving well suited to the culture of extra staple cottons of American derivation. AS harvest progresses, it becomes in- creasingly evident that heavy yields of good quality fiber are quite possible. The establishing of these facts in a thoroughly practical fashion has ere ated an interest in the culture of these middle length staples that bids fair to establish them firmly in the esteem of growers. With the picking season at its height, both picking and ginning facilities are heavily taxed. The con- tinued dry, warm weather is helping to produce superior quality sweet potato which crop is now being dug in quantity. Both alfalfa and mixed grass pastures in the irrigated valleys are in excellent condition to receive the range stock arriving for fatten. ing. Winter grain is growing rapidly while grain sorghums are filling and commencing to ripen. The Colorado river is unusually low at Yuma, the entire stream going into the irrigation canals of the Imperial valley.

BURGLARS BUSY BUT
 WERE NOT COVETOUS

Three houses broken into in one night, and as far as can be learned, nothing taken, is the Flagstaff record for last Saturday night. Dr. Ray mond, Roger Morse and Johnny Love were the three home-owners who in their absence entertained the prow- lers. Their homes are close together.
 Mr., and Mrs. Morse are still in Phoenix, and until they get home it cannot be told whether they lost any thing, though drawers were thorough ly ransacked there as in the other homes.
 J. P. Wilson and F. E. Browning re- turning that night from a hunting trip, found young man on the lat ter's porch. He asked where the Morse's were. It is believed he may have been the man or one of the men who pulled the stunt. He can be cas- fly identified by either MT. Wilson or MT. Browning.

"ONWARD TO ASHEVILLE" IS
 SLOGAN OF MUSIC CLUBS

These words might well serve as the slogan for the National Federation of Music clubs at the beginning of the club season because at its close will occur the thirteenth biennial conven- tion, at Asheville, N. C., in June, 1923, toward which all departments are eagerly working. And none more indefatigably than the extension sec tion which hopes to double the mem- bership of clubs before next spring.
 Organize a music club in your To- cality. Help affiliate a music club with the federation" This is the plea being made by Mrs. Cecil Frankel, chairman of extension, in the cam paign being waged to increase the club memberships, and in which she is offering a prize of $100 to the state showing the greatest increase during the season, the money to be used as a nucleus for a state endowment fund.
 Of this campaign the national pres ident, Mrs. John F. Lyons, says in her forceful way: "If every club will affiliate just one other music club it will make twice as effective state and national organization, and will materially hasten the time when America will be acknowledged truly musical nation" The "drive" is being carried on in honor of the seventieth birthday (Sept. 4th) of Mrs. Theo- dore Thomas, honorary president and founder of the federation, and the state organizations were asked to eel ebrate in some fitting manner.
 This year, too, will again witness the biennial contests in voice, violin and piano which are open to all American-trained musicians under 30 years of age and which are becoming of increasing value to our young mu- sical artists. Information can be had from the chairman of contests in each state. The decision to continue the concert tour for the winners of the last biennial contests, i. e., De- vorah Nadworney, contralto; Enrique Ros, pianist; Herman Rosen, violin ist, and George Smith, baritone, g,ves the club another chance to engage these fine young artists and it is hoped many who could not sponsor a concert by them last year will do so this season. They are now being man. aged for the Federation by MT. Ralph J. MacFadyen, IF East 42nd St., New York City.
 Within the next few months, too, comes the awarding of prizes in the competitions for the many different kinds of musical compositions by American composers which are spon sored by the federation. The prize libretto for the Lyric Dance Drama, already won by Robert Francis Allen with his poem, "Pan in America" is a very beautiful work which can only stimulate the competition still open for it's musical setting. All prize winning compositions will be perform ed at the Asheville convention and the national winners will also appear there.

 Fifty of Flagstaff's most prominent people, among them a fair sprinkling of maturities are lining up under the direction of Miss Edith Greaves, of Chicago and Denver, and at the Or pheum on the nights of November 7th and Sth, will give a rattling cabaret show. They anticipate, considering the treat in store, the prominence of those taking part and the way local scenes and celebrities will be hit off, that one night won't be enough to give everyone a chance to get in. That was the case at Kingman a few weeks ago, where Miss Greaves directed the same show.

CHARGE LAND FRAUDS
 EQUAL TO BENSON DAYS

James M. Lennox, former United States commissioner at Sentinel in Yuma county, was arrested on Monday In Indianapolis and will be brought back to Phoenix to stand trial in the United States district court on indict- ments charging him with the perpe- tration of the so-called soldier land frauds shortly after the war in which a large number of service men and disabled soldiers of the world war lost approximately $25O,OOO, according to information received yesterday by H. M. Van Denbaugh, clerk of the Unit ed States supreme court.
 Frank M. Jordan of Tucson is now out on bond on an indictment which charges him with being an associate and accomplice of Lennox, the infor- nation received by Van Denbaugh further states.
 In carrying out the alleged fraud, Doyle declared, Lennox and Jordan started an office in Sentinel and got the soldiers to file on pieces of worth less desert land under the impression that the government intended to re- claim the land for the benefit of the cx-service men of the world war. More than 800 veterans of the war were taken in on the proposition, Doyle said, each paying $50 in filing fees in addition to commission de- manded by Lennox and Jordan for the filing and their fare to and expenses while in Arizona.
 With the exception of the Benson Hyde cases in California in 1904, Francis D. Crable, assistant U. S. dis trict attorney, said the Sentinel land frauds are the largest in the west, many disabled soldiers being cheated out of their compensation allowances and savings.

ed over to the museum. It will not be necessary io all cases to give the mu- scum these things. They can be plac- ed there, however, and left on exhibi- tion as long as the owners wish and will be guarantee safe keeping.
 If the Woman's club accomplishes the purpose it has set out to accom- plish, that alone will be ample reason for the existence and success of the club.
 The drive for funds is to be man. aged by the trustees, Mrs. V. M. Sli- pher, Ms. J. Il. Jackson and Mrs. R. E. Taylor. Trey are making their plans now and will soon be busy car rying them toward a successful con- clusion. When they came to people not members of the club for assist ance, remembering how unselfishly they are working, the importance of their plans, and how little compared to all that a liberal donation from us would be, let's give literally. It's worth it.
 After Saturdays meeting recep- tion was held for the teachers of the Normal and city schools. All the new teachers were given an especially warm welcome to make them feel ac- uuainted, and at home.

WILL REORGANIZE LOCAL
 RED CROSS CHAPTER

Miss Mabel de Gomez, of San Fran cisco, representing the coast division of the Red Cross society, was in Flag staff last week stirring up Red Cross workers with a view of recognizing the local chapter which has not been fuuctioning very strongly for the past year or two.
 Scout Executive Warner with his organization has promised to do a lot of hustling to help the good work along. Dr. E. S. Miller has been the local secretary for the past two years and has been playing rather a lone hand in keeping up the work.

Battling Siki, noted Seregalese fighter, flashed into international pugilistic prominence September 24, when he knocked out Georges Carpen- tier, idol of the French, in the sixth round of a scheduled twenty round bout, in the Buffalo Velodrome, just outside Paris, France, thereby win ming the heavyweight championship of Europe. Skis victory over the Frenchman created a sensation among the sporting men gathered at the ring side as it had been predicted that Carpenter would send his opponent to slumberland in three rounds. Fol- lowing the delivery of the final, tell ing blow, Carpenter was in a state of unconsciousness for several min- utes.
