TO WIN CROWD
People From Throughout
Southwest Here To At
tend Annual Event.
BALL ENDS DAY
Cowboy Parade Led by
Queen and Maids of
Honor Opens Celebration

With larger and more varied ex-
hibits in almost every department;
wit ha greater and more thrilling
program of sports, with all prevailing
spirit Of carnival and of the real
west spreading over the district the
seventh annual Cochise county faiI
has launched itself.
With beautiful weather, for large
opening day crowd, the fair bios
somed forth yesterday a bigger and
better fair than even its most OPP
timistic supporters hoped for.
To begin with, the parade which
opened the fair in in which the
cowboys were the feature, led by the
queen and her maids of honor, was
the greatest COW boy parade ever
held in Douglas. There are more
COW boys, broncho busters and horse
racers here for this fair than ever
came to any previous fair.
The sports program is twice as
big and twice as thrilling as at any
past fair The next imposing feature
is the poultry exhibit which has al
most doubled in size since last year
and has a much greater variety
among it's exhibits.
The weather for the fair is per-
feet. All indications are that the
crowds will be greater than ever
before, for, added to the long list
of COW boy sports, and the bigger
and better exhibits there are the
automobile races which will end the
five day exhibition and celebration
People from throughout the south
west were seen on the streets OF
Douglas and at the fair grounds
yesterday Many former residents
have returned to spend fair week
among old friends. The spirit OF
carnival is in the air and with
more and better exhibits and more
and better sports the fair has start
ed out to eclipse anything of its
kind ever held in the southwest.
Last night merriment continued
until the wee small hours, as, fol
lowing the beautiful ceremony of the
croWning of Miss Cochise, the great
crowds danced and celebrated gen.
! orally in sheer joy that this county
has a bigger and better fair each
year than it had the year before.

50 COWBOYS DO
STUFF AT FAIR
FOR SIX HOURS
Talent Indicates Douglas
Has Stepped in Major
League for RodeOs.

Fifty cowboys "did their stuff
for six hours at the CochiSe Coun-
ty fair yesterday offering a rodeo
which held the interest of a crowd
estimated at between 600 and l,OoO
persons who crowded into the tlelo
afoot and in automobiles.
One and all were OF the opinion
that Douglas had stepped into the
major league as rodeo town. Inc
talent displayed by the ropers ana
the riders was the best of the
southwest and the crowd forgot the
hot afternoon sun in the excitement
of watching the thrilling craftsman
ship of the range and the laughaDle
incidents which are part and parcel
of any cowboy "get together"
So ample a program had been
arranged for the first day OF cow
boy sports that approaching darkness
cut off two events which had been
scheduled for the day,-bull- -dogglng
and a wild horse race. These two
contests will be part of the second
days program today with the repe-
tition of the competitions in cali
roping, steer riding, and wild COW
milking.
The days cowboy festivities began
shortly after 8 a. m. when some Is
cowpunchers "whooped it up" g ape
nue. from the Custom House, and
out Rodeo road where for more than
an hour farious rope experts tried
their hand at roping the elusive
calf.
In the afternoon, things started
off with a bang with a stirring
hour of team tying, followed by the
broncho riding and steer riding
which were run alternately in order
that the program might move along
with snap and vigor.
AS the afternoon progressed the
crowds grew large and pressed for
ward into the field, occasionally to
sweep back before some frightened
steer or wild horse or goat eluding
the rope of cowboy. The most
amusing, the most laughable, ano
withal one of the most exciting
events was the wild COW milking
contest which wound up the after
Moons program.
Most of the major prizes of the
$4,000 which will be paid will be
awarded on the tWo-day average o1
1 the cowboy contestants in the var
ious events. However, day money
was awarded in several competitions
Today the same program will bt
repeated with the addition of bull
dogging contest and wild horse
race. Tomorrow will be taken ur
with a cowboy racing program, in
cluding pony express race, a COW
pony race, COW girl race and free
for all quarter mile race.

boy events which were run yester

BE CAREFUL!

With acridents increasing by the
thousands every year, says The
Manufacturer. the subject of their
prevention is engaging the earnest
attention of individuals, employers,
corporations, the press, motor clubs,
educational associations, city, state
and national organizations.
Falls cause more deaths than any
other form of accident according to
the National Safety Council which is
a clearing house of information re-
lating to prevention of accidents,
with headquarters in Chicago.
Automobile fatalities in the United
States approximate $4,000 annually,
it being estimated that almost 1000
children alone were killed by auto
mobiles last year in this country.
In their own homes, thousands of
people also lose their lives each
year through accidents. Last year
the number of such deaths reached
$4,000, with falls leading.
A majority of all accidents of
every description would be pre-
vented if people would exercise
proper care and caution.

WILL YOUR BUSINESS BE NEXT?

In commenting on bill which
proposed TO put Florida in the in
surance business, the Florida Times
Union says:
"On general principles, and for
the broadeSt and fairest economic
reasons, the state, under demo-
cratic form of government, can not
60 into business, in competition with
private individuals and organizations
that, by reason of knowledge and
experience, are capable of transact
ing business in their several lines
with satisfaction to the people and
with credit to themselves. In order
to go into business, the state either
must change its form of government
or fail in its purpose of administer
ing public affairs for the public
good. The latter never has been
done where the government has
taken over private business or has
imposed such restrictions that pri-
vatc business has been Stranglcd to
death.
''If the state is put into The inSur
ance business, it san be put into any
other business and thus go into com
petition with any business now es-
tablishod. Therefore, every buSi-
ness man or woman is interested in
such legislation"

UnderSed Storm In
Atlantic Reported
By French Captain

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-Up from
the sea last week came stories of a
strange undersea storm, and--the
sea is like that-of gay and care
less pajama party upon the briny.
The liner France with $50 passen-
gers on board was in the undersea
storm. Off Fire island, with the sea
as smooth as glass, suddenly the
great ship was seized as if by the
grasp of a hidden hand and rocked.
The sudden violence caused some
of the ships officers to think the
craft had struck a reef.
Jean Borotra, French tennis play
er, who was in the room of Capt.
Marius Aubert, dashed out on deck.
He was wearing rubber heels and
slipped and fell, slightly injuring
his chest. Captain Aubert said the
phenomenon was the strangest ne
had ever witnessed. He attributed
the sudden rocking of the ship TO
hidden currents.
Aboard the Suffern of the French
ilne, WHICH also arrived last week,
were 279 passengers. During the hot
weather of the gulf stream, under
