SLIDIN' IN
SONG BY M0LEY
IN days of old, when BarOns bold,
Went out to do their stuff;
i led them long into the thrOng,
Though going sometimes rough.

IN days of old, when Barons bold,
Went out to do their stuff;
led them long into the throng,
Though going sometimes rough.
Nor faltered not, upon the spot,
Where battle waged most heated;
i led them IN the clamOrOus din,
Though sometimes were defeated.
But now a new and different crew
For me their ash sticks WELD;
A doughty crew, n scrappin' few,
But mighty on the field.
No more the cheer rings in my ear
OF Rickw00d's rabid fan;
i visit here, just once each year,
To battle once my clan.

times are bound to crop out. So as

NATIONAL FOREST RE-oPENED.

Phoenix-The Tonto National
Forest was Saturday thrown
open to hunters and campers by
order of Forest Supervisor TT.
Swift, who rescinded his order
of last week closing the reserva.
tion during the hunting season.
The return from California of
forest rangers who had temper.
arily been on duty in the coast
fighting forest fires was given as
the reason for lifting the re.
strictions.
while the fire hazard still ex-
lists, the forest service is better
prepared to accept risks and
feels that it should now give for
est users free excess to same for
hunting and. camping" stated
Mr.. Swift. 1T is hoped that all
users will adopt a resolution to
refrain from smoking except in
camp or at other places of habi.
tation, to throw no lighted
matches, cigarettes, cigars or
live pipe ashes from your vehi
Gle, to use good Judgment in Sc.
lecting camp spots and in build.
ing camp fires, and to place
themselves available for fire
fghtiEg, in case their service. is
needed.
due to the summer drought,
stock water is extremely low
and we earnestly request that
camps not be made in stockmen's
corrals or pastures, and that
camps be located that they will
not interfere with the natural
watering places of range stock.
Stockmen have spent large sums
of money in developing water
and erecting water tropghs on
their range and it is not just for
passers to wash or clean their
their game in them or otherwise
pollute the watering places.
The lifting of the restrictions
does not mean that the drought
situation has been relieved or
that the fire menace is less haz.
ardous than a week ago. 1t
merely means that the securing
of the regular force of rangers
places the service in a position
to watch the reserve more close
ly and makes us better prepared
to meet an emergency"

SPECIAL RATES TO STATE FAB

Phoenix-The Twentieth An.
nual State Fair of Arizona, more
of real exposition than any of
its predecessors, will swing it's
gates in welcome to the people
of four states on Monday, No
vember 10, and continue for six
days brimming with captivating
interest in each of the several
departments which have been
brought up to higher standard
than ever before.
The formal announcement of
the fair dates, November 1917,
inclusive, was made by Joseph
P. Dillon, secretary of the State
Fair Commission, thus setting at
rest untounded rumors which
have been set afloat to the effect
that there would be no fair this
year.
Of even greater Importance is
the announcement of Secretary
Dillon that a rate of one fare
and third for the round trip
has been granted by the rail-
roads, These rates apply not
only from Arizona points, but
from all stations in California,
New Mexico and Western Texas,
thus assuring large attendance
from the neighboring states.
The rates will go into effect No.
vember 8, the Saturday before
Fair Week, and continue to in.
clude November Is. The return
tickets will be good up to and
including December 8.
