CREENLEE COUNTY
FAIR

The 18th annual Greenlee county
fair will be held on October II and
Is this year, and from all indica-
tions, promises to be the most sue
cessful fair held by Greenlee coun-
ty since the first exposition was
held in the fall of 1919. Plentiful
water in the irrigation bitches has
resulted in making possible an un-
usual number of exhibits to be
placed on display in the agricultu-
raj department.
A number of improvements have
been made on the buildings, and
the fair commission plans to do a
little improvement work annually,
and the soundness of this policy
has proven itself by the buildings
possessed at present for carrying
on the fair. This year the roofs of
both the grandstand and agricul-
tural buildings have been repaired,

bules OF water froze solid. 1t took
some time before the mysterious
influence which consumed the air
weakened and warm air struck
the clearing and then the men
quickly gathered the ice crop.
This explained the mystery of
the ice to Stanley and the king
made him a present Of a large
amount of the seed. He shipped
the seed to America, according to
Jose's friend, and the consignment
became lost for a great many years,
but Jose assured me that his friend
had at last discovered it. The seed
will still germinate, and it was
Jose's proposition that for a couple
of pesos he would give the address
of the friend, and he and could
make a barrel or so of gold selling
the seed to southwestern farmers,
who could save an ice bill in the
by planting the ice plant

the former being improved to
great extent, resulting in the seat
ing capacity being increased by 100.
The agricultural exhibition build
ing has been repaired and the roof
made waterproof The pens in the
sheep and hog shed have been re-
built, the light improved and the
displays to this department. will
show up to better advantage.
Owing to the increasing exhibits
annually, the commission has this
year rented a large tent in which
will be housed the industrial and
educational exhibits. This should
be an added attraction to the fair,
as number Of industrial concerns
have engaged space. Among these
are the Standard Oil Co., Singer
Sewing Machine company, Maytag
Washer company, as we'll as others.
There will be an exhibition by the
United Stateh government of forest
service and rodent control work.
Mr.. Jones of the Albuquerque head
quarters for the forest service was
in Clifton Tuesday to arrange for
space for his department, and e4hib-
its will be shipped from Albuquer-
que and Flagstaff. These exhibits
will be in charge of Rex King, SUI
pervisor of the Crook National for
est, and D. H. Gilchrist, leader of
the rodent control work in Arizona.
The Coolidge examiner., 1930-10-10

The schools will have very COM
plete exhibits in competition this
year, the schools of Clifton, Mo-
renci and Duncan showing a very
keen interest in the fair, as always.
1t has not yet been decided whether
or not the schools will participate
in any sports contests during the
fair this year.
The rodeo this year will be a big
improvement over past years, as a
great deal more care is being taken
to make this snappy event James
Armstrong of Duncan is in charge
of the arena and is devoting a great
deal Of his time in interesting ro-
deo performers to participate in the
events at the fair this year.
The Morenci band will furnish
the music for the occasion and
there will be a dance on both nights
in Duncan.
Race horses are already training
for the races, which promise to be
of great interest this year, and the
track will be better than ever, due
to the rains experienced this sum-
mer.
A professional clown has been
engaged to be on hand and amuse

Television Devices Lead Field at
Present as American Inventors
Bend to Task.

Patents covering radio devices con-
tinue to issue from the United States
Patent Office at a steady rate, both to
notables in the radio realm and to OBJ
scure inventors. Particularly note
worthy recently has been the flow of
patents covering various systems of
televiSion.
American patent rights on their tele-
vision systems have been secured by
Alexandra Dauvillier of Paris and Pedro
Torrabadell of Conception del Uruguay,
Argentina. Other television systems have
been patented jointly by William H.
Written, jr, and Thaddeus r. Colds

signed their rights to Westinghouse, and
by Alfred N. Goldsmith and Julius
Weinberger of New York, who have as
signed rights to Radio Corporation of
America. Frank RyuZo Tanimoto of
Los Angeles, obtained a patent on a
televiSion device and numerous new pat
ents on various television parts have
been issued to c. Francis Jenkins, the
Washington inventor.
DR.. Lee De Forest, whose invention of
the three element tube has won him the
soubriquet of father of radio" has been
turning his attention of late to talking
pictures and within the last week OBJ

y. c.. Naval Reserve

Considerable improvement in the
training and efficiency Of the 1st Bat
talon, United States Naval Reserves OF
the District of Columbia, was shown
this year, as compared with last year,
according to a preliminary report on
the result of the recent annual inspec-
lions held at the armory here. Officers
and men were highly elated over the
report made by the special board from
the Navy Department which conducted
the tests, and a wireless message con-
Veying the result was dispatched imme-
kiiately to the United States Destroyer
Abel P. Upshur, which is cruising of
the New Sngland Coast with the mem
bers of the I'd Fleet Division aboard,
taking their annual sea training.
While the full report showing the
standing for each battalion and fleet
division throughout the country has not
been received, it was said that the
local battalion stood twelfth among the
"a battalions. OF the 148 fleet di-
visions in the country the Sd Fleet Di-
vision of the local organization stood
forty-third, the LIST Fleet Division
forty-sixth and the I'd Fleet Division
ninety-third.
Evidence that the competition be-
tween all of the divisions was very keen
is indicated by the relative figure OF
merits given to each division. Inc
Sd Fleet Division was given per-
centage OF 1914, with the 1st Fleet d.
vision 1872, q difference OF two-tentns
of a point being sufficient to move the
divisions three places apart. The "a
Fleet Division was given a percentage
of 75.4, while AZ places removed from
the 1st Division, yet only olnerence
Of 80 in the merit figure.
Those familiar with the workings oil
the local battalion say that the figures
given in this preliminary report snow
that the local battalion and the Oil
visions have moved up from 3 10 III
noints since the inspection of last year
which they consider very good. the
officer personnel, with the aid OF Lieut.
Comdr. r. S. Field. nspector-instructol
of the local battalion and former com.
mander of their training ship, the APE
p Upshur. have been putting the mer
through an intensive period OF training
during the past year for the purpose %
climbing close to the top. AS matter
! Of fact Condr Field, with other Of
rcers from the Washington Navy YARD
rrraneed a rehearsal inspection severa
rnnnths ago for the specific purpose o.
determining the training In which TIT
local PesnrVists were deficient, and I'M
mediate steps were taken by the Re
serve officers to stress these points II

it was said, probably did more thar
ANYTHING else to raise the standards II

commanded by Lieut.. G. H. Williams.
The 1st Fleet Division Is commanded
by Lieut. John M. Fewell, but up to
and including the annual inspection
was headed by Lieut.. Harold e. Rich
ardson, who since has been promoted
to commander of the Headquarters d.
vision and executive officer of the bat
talon. The I'd Fleet Division Is COM
manded by Lieut.. John F. Moore.
The I'd Fleet Division yesterday
completed it's two weeks Of sea training,
when the United States Destroyer Abel
p. Upshur returned to her berth at the
Washington Navy Yard. After spending
part of the week with the Atlantic
Scouting Fleet Destroyer Squadron IN
war games of the New England Coast,
the vessel was detached for the pur-
pose of holding target practice on the
eastern end of Long Island. Upon their
return yesterday both officers and men
were placed on an inactive status Ior
another year.
The vessel will remain at the Wash
ington Navy Yard here until next Sat
urday, when the officers and men OF the
Third Fleet Division will board her Tor
two weeks cruise over the same 1tin-
erary. With the Washington men aboard
Reserves from the battalion stationed
at Baltimore, Md.
Earlier in the week the pay rolls Tor
the crew on the first voyage were re-
ceived at the Washington headquarters
and were sent to the Navy Yard pay
master, who had them ready for the
payment of the officers and men soon
after the arrival Of the ship here.
1t is expected that five officers and
fifty enlisted men will take the cruise
next Saturday. On Friday night they
will report at the local armory for the
| purpose of going through physical
| examination to determine their fitness
| for active service.
Lieut.. Comdr. p. v. H. Weems is ex-
| pected to come here soon as the new
! inspector instructor of the local Reserve
| battalion to relieve Lieut.. Comdr. r. 5
| Field, who recently was named as alot
to the commandant of the Washington
Navy Yard. Comdr. Field recently re-
linquished command of the destroyer
Upshur while it was at Norfolk under
! going its annual overhead, the VeSse
now being temporarily in command o.
Lieut.. Dayton.
The commandant of the Washington
Navy Yard has received a copy OF or
ders directing Comdr. Weems to repor
here as inspector instructor. However
while it was indicated that the order
are silent as to whether Comdr. Weem
will assume command of the UpShur, i
is probable that he will. because 1t ha'
been the practice in the past for tn
inspector instructor to also comman'
the training destroyer.

TRAFFIC BUREAU
IN NEW QUARTERS
Removal to Walker Building
Beginning of Exodus to
Last Few Weeks.

The Police Traffic Bureau and the
director of traffic's office were moved
yesterday to the Walker Building, 458
Louisiana avenue, which 80 years ago
housed the entire municipal govern
ment. This exodus was the first of
series, including the rest of the Police
Department and several other District
which will be moved into
the six-story building in the course OF
the next few weeks.
The Traffic Bureau was compelled to
move because the Federal Government
plans an immediate start on raZing all
the buildings on the square bounded
by Fourteenth, Fifteenth and streets
and Pennsylvania avenue. This area
will be turned into park, fronting the
Department of Commerce Building
now under construction.
The other departments Will move 70
relieve the crowded situation at the
District Building, where most OF the
departments are now using corridor
space to take care of the overflow. The
walker Building was bought by the
District government as part OF the site
for the new municipal center. On the
ground on which this building now
stands, it is planned to place eventually
the combined Police and Fire Depart
ment Building. so that the move at
this time is rather appropriate.
