County Fairs And
Agricultural Societies

On June 10Th the officers of the
State Association of Fairs will meet
with the secretary of state to work
out a new scheme for handling the
state aid, which has grown from $92,-
900 in 1910, to 1903 900 in 1923.
An effort will be made to revise
the system in way to effect a sub
stantial saving to the state. The of
fcers of the association have express
ed their willingness to cooperate in
unifying and simplifying the methods
adopted long ago and now outgrown.
They will also discuss the subject
of side shows and games of chan
These have been severely criticised
in late years and many patrons of
fairs complain that the statutes nave
been violated in many respects. Sec
rotary Zimmerman will suggest that
every effort be made to make the
fairs what the law contemplates they
should be, mainly exhibits of agr;cul-
ture and other products, which show
the progress of the state, setting ex-
amples for those who wish to profit
by them.
There can be no objection to clean
side shows, but the cheap shows
which characterize the street fairs
and other questionable amusements
should find no place in an institution
that is largely supported by public
funds. Educational moving pictures
are always popular, especially those
which depict industries, nature and
wild life.
The state and county fairs have
cost the taxpayers very large sums
Of money and unless the people a4v
assured that they are worthwhile and
desirable, we may look for serious
complaints. Wisconsin occupies a
position. in industry, agriculture, and
manufacturing of which the people
are justly proud It produces ample
material for unexcelled exhibits which
if properly managed, should and will
attract the public without resorting
to questionable amusements.

BOY SCOUTS BEST GOOD TURN

"Scouts for jobs and jobs for Scouts
stand good chance of becoming the
business mans slogan"
Such was the comment of an OBJ
server of the reliability and quick
action of 14-year-old Arkansas Of
flee boy, who, when fire broke out
in the building, stayed at his post,
fighting the flames until help came.
Fourteen-year-old Scout Archer
Brantley of Pine Bluff, Ark, is en-
ployed after school and Saturdays by
the local "Daily Graphic" He was
sweeping the editorial room on re-
cent morning when he discovered a
blaze in it.
"Brantley met it with all that he
nad," says The Graphic. "He fought
the. flames, rapidly encircling the
room, with his bare hands and his
broom. Then he got fire extinguish-
er and held the stream upon the
blaze, but by that time it had gotten
entirely beyond him and he realized it.
He left his apparatus and dashed to
the phone and called for help. Then
he returned and stood by until help
came.
"He didn't dash into the flames, he
escaped unscorched and he didn't take
any unusual risks, but" continues the
paper referring to the Scout code, "he
was trustworthy he wass brave,
as it commands in the Scout law
He was loyal. Brantley protected the
interests of his employer as much as
many an older boy could have done.
"After the fire he discovered his
new $40 sweater, Christmas pres
ent, was missing. Then he realized
that it was lying on a table in the
path of the flames.
"'Gee! 1t musta burnt up' he said.

MILLIONS ARE LOST TO
u. S. THROUGH BOOZE
STOM EVA SION S

The flow of liquor from Rum Row
to Long Island and New Jersey coasts
during the past two years amounted
to 14,400,000 gallons, on which the
federal government has lost $164,-
100000 in duties, customs officials
announce.
These figures they explained, re-
ferred only to smuggling activities
along the Atlantic coast and did not
include the liquor smuggled into the
country at other places.
The officers said approximately
2,400,000 cases of liquor are illegally
imported each year on which the duty,
if collectable, would amount to $780,
080,0O0. Estimating the value of
smuggled liquor at $50 case, customs
officials say the smuggling operations
have given the bootleggers receipts
of $240,000,000 since Rum Row was
established.
According to a recent decision by
the circuit court of appeals, the au-
thorities pointed out, 'the government
may tax liquor brought in unlawfully
as it does the liquor produced or i'm
ported legally"
Based on this ruling customs Of
ficials calculated the governments
losses on basis of $11.60 per gallon.
The loss, however, they added, is
theoretical" as the duty cannot be
collected

STATE COMMISSION WILL
REGULATE STATE LINES

In far-reaching opinion and order
issued by the Arizona corporation
commission this week, the commission
assumes jurisdiction over all inter-
state motor vehicle stage lines, thus
putting an end to the so-called ''boot-
leg" operators, whose unlicensed oper-
ations have been the cause of untold
annoyance to the public and the au-
thorities for the past five years.
The order in question grants certl-
ficates Of public convenience and ne
cessity to two concerns operating be-
tween California points and Ell Paso,
Texas. Under these certificates the
Borderland Stage company will be
permitted to operate passenger and
express transportation over the high
ways between Yuma and Phoenix and
from Phoenix to Rodeo, New Mexico
via Florence, Tucson and Douglas, and
the Arizona Pacific Transit company
will be privileged to operate between
Phoenix and Ehrenburg, serving Sa-
lone, Vicksburg and Quartzite, witt
an alternate route through Wicken-
burg. By virtue of this order,f sys-,
tematic and orderly service is expect
ed to take the place of the intermit-
tent and irresponsible traffic which
so long has menaced human life on
the main highways of Arizona.
The evidence submitted at the pub
lie hearings in which numerous appli-
cations were considered, showed that
during the past five years there has
grown up a movement of common la
Dor from the Mexican border to the
cotton and orchard districts of Ari-
zona and California The transporta-
tion of these laborers has been under
taken by numerous private operators,
regulated by neither interstate nor
state regulations and claiming i'm
immunity from both.
Run down equipment and reckless
driving of these illegal operators have
strewn the highways with wrecks, and
many tales of hardship have come
from passengers left stranded on the
desert, while overcrowding of the
equipment and exposure of the pas
sengers has often led to serious i'll
ness and in some instances death.
The assumption of jurisdiction by
the Arizona commission is based on
the fact that Congress has not as yet
seer fit to regulate the operation of
motor vehicles used as instrumental
tiles of interstate commerce, and as
the opinion of the commission points
out it is a rule too we'll established to
be questioned that until Congress acts
the state has unimpaired authority to
act in the matter within its own
boundaries.

THE PACACO SAGUAR0
NATIONAL MONUMENT

Located in the Salt River Valley,
Arizona, the Papago Saguaro national
monument reserves a typical bit OF
the desert as it appeared before the
famous Roosevelt dam stored up the
water that has made the derert bloom.
Within its area is found a splendid
collection of characteristic desert
flora, including many striking exam
pies of giant cactus (saguaro) and
other interesting species of cacti, such
as the prickly pear and cholla, locally
known as jumping cactus" This To-
cal name is derived from the ease
with which the sections break off,
the thorny joints giving the impress
sion OF actually leaping at the passer-
by. Here and there are leafless palo
verdes and in the sandy washes thick
cts of cat-claW or scrubby mesquite.
The most generally prevalent plant is
the creosote bush, small, rounded
bushes of dark green hue. There are
also many fine examples of the yucca
palm, whose flower-laden stems in the
spring fill the desert air with their
sweet perfume.
But the deserts chief exhibit is the
giant saguaro, from which the mon
ument takes it's name. This stately
cactus rises in a splendid green col
um11, accordion-pleated, and decorat-
ed with star-like clusters of spines
upon the edge of the pleats. The larg-
er specimens grow as high as so or
70 feet, throwing out thick, powerful
branches which bend sharply upward
paralleling the main stock. In the
spring, clusters of beautiful red flow
ers appear on the ends of the trunk
and branches.
The bird life of the monument is
that of the desert, but some of the
species are to be found nowhere save
in the vicinity of the giant saguaro.
The birds forming the "giant cactus
association" include the saguaro
screech owl, elf owl, Gila woodpecker,
Mearns gilded flicker, and Arizona
crested flycatcher. Contrasting pic
lures of desert and cultivated lands
may be viewed side by side, separat-
ed, perhaps, merely by the width of
an irrigation canal, and no less start
ling and complete is the transforma-
tion in the bird life.
Through the center Of the monu-
ment, running northwest and south
west, is a ridge of low hills rising
from the flat desert to a height of
$50 to 200 feet. The rocks in the
ridge have been worn considerably by
the elements, resulting in caves and a
few openings extending entirely
through tn rocks. One of these open
ings, "Hole in the Rock" is an aper-
ture some Is feet high and rs feet
long with an ampitheater approach to
the hole on each side. 1t is favorite
picnic spot. Close by is small noun
tain with foot trail leading to the
top. From this viewpoint one can see
almost the entire monument area of
over 1900 acres. Beyond in every di-
rection, one sees the work of man, the
large irrigation canals with smaller
ones leading off, all marked by tree
lined banks, and then thousands on
of acres of fertile field that
only a short time ago was desert.

BANKRUPTCY OF THE HEART

A woman's whole life is history of
the affections. The heart is her
world; it is there her ambition strives
for empire; it is there her avarice
seeks for hidden treasures. She sends
forth her sympathies on adventure,
she embarks her soul in the traffic of
affection; and if shipwrecked, her
cause is hopeless, for it Isl a bank
