Vision Of Animals

Men and monkeys have far better
eyesight than any other animals, cX-
cept birds. 1t has been found that
most birds have powers Of vision
about one hundred times as great as
that of normal man. Some birds can
see worm at a distance of 300 feet.
The eyes of birds are especially adapt
ed to see moving objects at great dis
tances, so that the approach of an
enemy is observed by them long be-
fore the human eye could detect 1t.

Excellence

Excellence may be considered an
axiom, or a proposition which becomes
self-evident just in proportion to the
clearness or precision with which it IS
put. If it fairly exists, in this sense,
it requires no further elucidation. To
point out too particularly the beauties
Of a work is to admit tactly that these
beauties are not wholly admirable. Re

is capable of self-manifeStation it but

FAIRS 70 BRING FARM TO
25,0OO,OOO PEOPLE IN 1925
Fair SymboIical of Remarkable
Growth Of Agricultural Ex-
hibitS in the L. S,

II. 4clv5 an aCIehdanc2 OF about five
thousand; in 1925, an estimated at
tendance Of approximately twenty
five million.
These figures, III q nutshell, tell the
story OF the marvellous growth of the
American fair from the humblest
beginning to its present day status as
an important factor in agricultural
education. They are Of especial inter
est here in view of the approaching
Grantsyille Fair, September 17-18,
and Oakland Fair which will be held
September 29-October ,.
While the fair idea has been taken
hold Of tremendously in the United
States, it is not native to this country.
Fairs run back to ancient days. but in
the olden times they We're more after
the manner of bazaar or market,
only held with less frequency. very
much like the fairs in vogue in Ger
many and other European countries
today. The American fair traces its
ancestry back only about the middle
OF the eighteenth century, when a
group Of progressive farmers in the
Tees River valley in northeastern
Br;atin Joined to bring their livestock
together for comparison. 1t has been
termed the hrs, agricultural fair and
was the model after which were pat
termed the hundreds OF country fairs
both here and in England.
Elkanah Watson OF New York, has
been credited with being the father Of
the American fair. In 1875 Watson
organized the agricultural society Of
Albany, \. Y, and proceeded to cs-
tablish fairs and cattle shows in the
ne.ghboring counties. In 1919, due
mainly to his influence, The New York
Legislature appropriated ten thousand
aola-s year for six years for prem
lums on agricultural and home manu-
1actul.h# p-u1UctS. In 1892 the state
agricultural society was founded and
work started IN other eastern states.
But while Watson was busy convert
ing farmers and legislators to the
value Of fairs, the Columbian Agricul-
tural Society held what Is believed to
be the FIRST exhibition CT its kind in
Washington. D. c. in 1910. Pittsdeld,
Mass. sh9r-ig thereafter inaugusatei
regular agricultural exhibits, and
from these first small efforts grew up
our system Of community, county
state, district, national ard lnteruat-
ionaI fairs which cover practically
every section Of the country
The development OF the fair in the
United States has been Of normal
growth and expansion, according to
Samuel &. Guard, director Of the
Sears -Roebucll Agricultural Founda-
ton and one Of the leading eXponents
of agricultural exhibits in America.
The successful contestant in local
fair naturally wished TO compare his
products with those Of winners in
other local fairs That was how the

ARIZONA RANGE AND CROP CON.
DITIONS

AS a result of recent rains on the
grazing areas of Arizona and western
New Mexico steady improvement of
pastures and considerable improve
ment of stock is apparent Moderate
to heavy showers occurred in western
New Mexico while light to moderate
amounts only occurred in eastern Ari-
zona and on the higher elevations.
Improvement of both range and stock
is reported in the Holbrook section
where for many months conditions
have not ranged above fair. Poor
range and stock are still reported in
the Prescott section and stock contin-
ues poor in the Thatcher section al
though farm pastures and the range
are showing Improvement. Range
and cattle continue to improve stead
lily in southwestern New Mexico and
southeastern Arizona but in the lat
ter section showers have been too
light to replenish water holes to any
marked extent. Numerous and copi.
Gus showers in Santa Cruz county
have improved grazing conditions con-
siderably. Pastures on both the north
and south Rims of the Grand Canyon
are in better condition than in many
months past and are reported good.
Water is ample in the Seligman sec.
tion and stock reported fair.
High temperatures in southern Ari.
zona have been particularly helpful
to growing cotton and the canteloupe
crop. Dry weather has favored the
harvest of the latter and it is the gen
eral opinion that the fruit is the best
in many years. Cotton made excel
lent progress during the week in all
southern sections. Some shedding in
the Yuma section was reported but it
is thought that the plants are carry
ing all they can advantageously. Ow-
ing to good rains on the upper water
shed the flow of the Colorado River is
sufficient to exceed all demands for
irrigation.

PROBABLE RELIEF FROM BUR-
EAUCRATIC AUTHORITY

Perhaps one of the most Jealous
patriots is Senator Ralph Cameron
He started the movement to aid the
cattlemep and stock industry of his
own state A resultant therefrom has
spontaneously sprung into existence
The demand that the government dc
everything had become serious prob
lem and interference with the rights
of citizens and authority Of the state
stands to be checked. The relation
ship between business and govern
ment may become more amicable and
cooperative and there appears over
the horizon relief from bureaucratic
domination and interference in prob
lens affecting state and individual
rights.

WHY PAY RENT AND LIVE IN
HOUSES?

There are more autos in Phoenix
than houses to live in," says an ex-

10 live in houses here for anyway. In
Alaska, when smiling sumer comes
the Eskimos leave their houses, most
ly underground, and live outdoors just
like IAN Arizona bedroom, where
shame and clothes have no place.
Right here is where the Phoenicians
are wise, they buy an auto so that
like a snail or a turtle they can go

and take their houses with them.

Time was when every mother kept a yell-supplied medicine cab inet, and was able to administer first-aid in case of almost every kind of minor injury or ailment.
 In addition she gathered roots and herbs from the woods, or culti- vated plants of curative properties 1 in her yard or garden.
 Doctors were fewer in those days. They often lived at great distance, and with no telephones nor auto mobiles 1t was difficult to obtain a doctor on short notice.
 Times have changed. There are more physicians. and they are more efficient. Corner drug stores have i sprung up in nearly every locality.
 So mothers are learning to depend upon the drug store and the doctors, even as they are learning to depend upon the delicatessen stores and the i grocery stores for their meals.
 Some good has been brought about by the change. of course. But one is prompted 10 ask if the drift has not gone too far.
 No mother should be ignorant of simple remedies for minor injuries to her children. It should not be necessary to run to the drug store or call the doctor every time Johnny cuts his finger or 'stumps" his toe.
