(Special to Coconino Sunl


 During October 19-29-21, the five great counties of Northern Arizona, Apache, Coconino, Mohave, Navajo and Yavapai, will join hands to swing the best fair ever held in their his tory. This year marks the 10th fair to be held in Prescott, where thou sands gather to view the exhibits on display at the fair grounds.

Shining roadsters will give competition to the larger motors in their run for the prize moneys. This year will see cash prizes awarded, in addition to the usual ribbons, that are we'll worth the time of all exhibitors.

HOW COOLEY GOT THE
 1923 STATE TAX MEET

The eleventh annual state tax con ference will be held next summer 1T the little town of Cooley, Arizona.
 Contrary to the precedent estab. lished at former meetings of the tax conference, the fight to "get it fol next year" was rather mild. Supervisor I. c. E. Adams suggest ed that the meeting be held again in Bisbee. Then a member of the San ta Cruz delegation pointed out the geographical advantages of Nogales and offered the conference the keys to both Nogales next year. This was too much for Mayor Geo. H. Kelly, veteran editor of Douglas, so the major jumped to his feet and insisted that the next barley should be in the smelter city.
 Then some one tossed a bombshell into camp by placing the name of Cooley before the conference.
 Balloting started. Douglas and Mo- gales were running neck and neck. Word was passed around that, only a few minutes hike out of Cooley, the best fishing in the world could be found Cooley began to pick up.
 After everyone had voted and it was obvious that Bisbee and Douglas were not any too safe, Supervisor Adams offered to withdraw the Bisbee vote in favor of Douglas. The suggestion brought only roar of laughter and even the major doubted if the move would be according to Hoyle.
 Adams was insistent, however.
 Hranlaxy ss, ha r,,,Au htltc " he shouted, land from my experiences among the pine trees, l fear to go to Cooley next year because of chig- gersw
 An Apache delegate resented the inference and branded the suggestion that "chiggers" camped around Coo ley as utterly false. Not even the as- sessor had been able to find single "chigger," he said. Furthermore, he continued, the most beautiful scenery in Arizona could be found at Cooley.
 When the ballots were counted, the result was: Cooley, 19; Nogales, IS; Douglas, 13; Bisbee, 3.
 "Where is this Cooley place, any way?" asked one of the delegates.
 Chairman Howe explained that it was on the -Apacne county border, and that both counties were in the habit of claiming it.
 "How do you get there?" sang out another voice.
 "We1l let you know in plenty of time" replied Howe.
 But I want to know right now" insisted the voice. "It'll take year to get there, won't it?"
 Cooley was the butt of many joke during the afternoon, but it's support CTS were satisfied-they'd grabbed the conference for an almost unknown To- cality over the attractions offered by the three border cities.
 So next year everyone will have to "take to the tall timber to attend the conference.-Bisbee Review.

The little boy in this story from "Touche Tout" was evidently firm believer in the old adage, "Of two evils choose the lesser" Turning a corner at full speed, he collided with the minister.
 Where are you running to, my lit- tie mani" asked the minister, when he had regained his breath.
 "Home!" panted the boy. "Ma's going to spank me-"
 "Whatw gasped the astonished min- iste1. "Are you so eager to have your mother spank you that you run home so fast ?"
 "No," shouted the boy over his shoulder as he resumed his homeward flight, "but if I don't get there before pa, he'll do it!"
