Ice Cream Soda Wins
Adherents in Argentina

Buenos Aires, Jan. 1l.-(By A. Pr
American ice cream soda is at last
finding favor with the Argentines.
Three years ago two enterprising
American youths opened an American
candy store and imported the first
American soda fountain. Save for
Americans and a few English. how
ever, the soda fountain was little pat
ronized at first. For u cool non-in-
toXicating drink, the Areentines con-
tinued to prefer cold milk.
But advertising and The sustatory
merits of the ice cream soda itself
gradually brought an increasing
number Of native customers. The
American boys at length set up two
more stores with a soda fountain in
each and with the advent of the hot
days of the southern summer. they
are now doing a rushing business.

DADDY

Our Daddy is good old sport,
He brings US lots of joy;
He joins in games of every sort
That interest boy
Ma'am calls him "Idler" and "No
good"
But still he'll laugh and sing.
He never chops her any wood
And don't do anything"
When Dad comes home from work at
night,
Pm very tired" he'll say;
But soon again he feels all right
And joins US in our play.
He takes US all up on his back
And cross the floor he'll crawl,
Then filings US over with a whaCk
And laughs to see US fall.
Sometimes he'll take US on his knee
And tell US lots of tales
Of creatures of the land and sea,
OF lions, and sharks, and whales.
My mamma calls him "idle man."
And says, 'He makes me glieve."
But still she loves our Dad more than
Shed have us boys believe.
When Dad takes us with him to fish
We think the fun is line
There seems a music in the swish
When Dad throws out his line.
He tells us fishing stories tall
AS on the bank we sit.
Then home in glee, tho the catch is
small,
Doesn't veX our Dad a bit
When we get home ma am starts to
scold,
Dad doesn't give a care,
Around her both his arms enfold
And he calls her Lady Fair"
He'll kiss and kiss her frown away,
And laugh and make her glad
He is just the best old Daddy
Any boy has ever had.

VISIT THE FREE STATE FAIR
1t Is the Duty of Every Resident of the
State to Attend

In fact, not a few whom the editor
of the Star has consulted have openly
expressed themselves as highly elated
at the vast accomplishment and the
sound public policy of a wise manage
ment In extending this welcome to
the people of Arizona, we do so with
keen exhiliaration.
We hope for many good things to
develop during this Fair which will
lead to greater interest by exhibitors
in the years to follow. But it will
require arousing the public conscience
to greater necessity of and more con-
certed efforts of many enterprising
Arizonans to use the opportunity CIV
en- them by the state to tell the world
of Arizona's Importance as a mineral,
agriculture horticulture and manufac-
turing center.
Every reader of these lines owes
it to himself to visit the Free State
Fair this year and get an eyeful and
an earful of the many surprises and
enjoyments prepared for the public
Go and see the Fair and bring along
the farpdly.
The Arizona Free State Fair for
1926 actually promises more to the
people of Arizona than has been off
cred in previous years.
In previous years, this Fair has
found it hard going, because of small
ness of appropriations and lack of
statewide interest on part of those
who ought to take an active part in
boosting it.
This year many new innovations
have been introduced which every
page of the Star explains fully to
the average reader. 1t is useless
to repeat the many details and tech
nicalities that the Fair management
has elaborately prepared for the ex-
hibitors and amusement of the public.
In the whole array of details we can
not conceive of a more impressive
monument to the untiring energy and
Arizona state miner., 1925-11-07

activity of the Fair management than
a glance at this years vast and var
led program of races, entertainments
and amusements presented This will
call for more than one visit to the
grounds. Omitting the entrance fee,
making it a free Fair has done more
to popularize this annual event than
anything else could have done.
In making the admission free, the
management feels that it is step
in the right direction. The charge
of so cents made at the gate here
tofore has undoubtedly been the
means of keeping some people from
viewing the exhibits prepared for
them by local merchants No sucn
condition will prevail this year, how
ever-all gates are thrown wide
and the public is invited to enter
the grounds at will.
This is. YOUR Fair. 1t is held
for your benefit 1t is instructive as
well as entertaining and the exhib-
itors give vivid picture of the re-
sources of your glorious state and
the progress of all it's industries
agriculture, livestock, mining and
manufacturing
1t is incumbent upon every man
woman and child to attend. In so
doing, you can help make this years
Fair the biggest and best in the his
tory of Arizona
Let's all boost together and show
by our attendance that the decision
of the management in making the
Twenty-first Annual Arizona State
Fair Free Fair was wise one
and that the efforts of the various
exhibitors, who have spent consider
able time and money in their attempt
to please us, is truly appreciated.
Remember that there is something
on exhibition that is sure to please
every member of the family, from
the agricultural and livestock exhib-
its for Dad to the snappy football

Q IDONIA was in heaven. There
-, was no mistake about it; an
amazing profusion of flowers,
lilies and roses grew waist-high, and
the path she followed was paved
with golden flagstones. How beauti-
full was the sward where the span
Cling daisies twinkled like tiny stars
perhaps they were stars, for heaven
was above the sky. Gervais walked
beside her, dressed in crimson,
with his gold chain about his neck.
They were far above the world
and death and it would be always
midsummer here.

said Gervais. eve are married,
Sidonia."
He put his arms about her and
she slid her own arms around
his neck. She held him as tightly
as she was able; nothing mattered
at all save him.. He was her treas
ure. They would live in a house
built entirely of gems. Yet the
gold flags of the path were very
cold to the soles of her feet. She
had no shoes on, and that was
neither right nor fitting in such
place. Oh, how cold the path was!
Ugh!
Where was heaven? Sidonia
