short distance cow horse, is
leading the entries for the Santa
Cruz County horse show to be
held at Sonoita Sunday, July S,
the next day after the annual
July 4th rodeo.
Vying for honors in the model
stallion class are such outstanding
quarter horse sires as Ell Rey, owned
by the Green Cattle Company, Little
Joe, the Texas stallion owned by
Blain Lewis, Ben Hur II, owned by
Mrs. w. S. Fulton of Draggoon, and
Paint owned by William Choate of
E1gin.
The quarter horse division in the
classes for foals of 1910 and 1941
has numerous entries. One of the
top contestants is Pancho owned by
j. r. Gardner Of Patagonia and a
winner in the Tucson horse show.
Others entered are colts from the w.
D. Parker ranch, the Greene Cattle
Company, the Fulton Ranch, the
Klene ranch and the Blain Lewis
ranch.
Many of the states finest rodeo
horses will show their speed in the
contests at the rodeo and in the
rope-horse race July 4 and exhibit
their training in the model COW
horse class July 5.
Col. E. N. Hardy, commanding Of
ficer at Fort Huachuca, and until
recently chief Of the army remount
service, will judge the show.
NO NEWCOMER HERE
The quarter horse is no new
conner here. Many of these
animals were brought into this
county from Texas in the nine
ties and are from strains now
famous as the fOunt of this type
of horse used throughout the
Southwest in rodeos. short races,
and on the range.
Among county ranchers who nave
specialized in the raising CT quarter
horses are Blaine Lewis, j. R. Gard
ner. r. E. Heady. Lon Hunt, G. H.
Martin, and w. D. Parker.
The Lewis horses we're brought IN
from Texas by the late B. Lewis
and have long been prominent IN
local racing circles. Blain Lewis
added a Texas-raised stallion to his
herd a few years ago and is now
supplying ranches with colts noted
for their speed.
Charlie Gardner brought horses
with him from Texas in 1900. These
were from the famed yellow Jacket
and Traveller lines. Today, j. F.
Gardner is carrying on this work
and has raised several outstanding
colts. One was Scooter, the colt
who won first in Sonoita a few years
ago and was sold to a Montana
rancher after the show. The great
est of these colts is Clara Bow, twice
winner at Tucson shows and winner
of her class in the 194l show at
Sonoita. Pancho, the latest pr1ze
winner. is entered in the best 1oals
of 1910 at the coming horse show.
The horses raised by t. E.
Heady have long record behind
them. These are raised primari-
ly to supply the Greene Cattle
Company's ranches on both sides
of the border but many other
ranchers and rOdeG contestants
are riding the horses wearing
the famous RIO brand.
Lon Hunt owns Little Zen, sire OF
many colts winning blue ribbons III
this county and other counties.
Probably the greatest quarter
horse stallion ever in this county
was Ben Hur, owned by w. D. Par
xer. and the sire to which most OF
the strains trace their ancestry. Ben
9ur left an enviable race record be-
mind him and won over many
in quarter-nile race.

Our Striking Force
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The British and American high military commands make no secret of their intention to invade Europe Indeed, they want the Germans to know invasion is coming, just as they want to assure the British and American people that action is in prospect. This is safe policy But there has been no disclosure of the numbers of American troops to the British Isles. This is certainly wise and we cannot com plain at the withholding of that information.
 Each eXpeditionary force has been larger than the previous, and the last two or three conveys sent across the Atlantic have been bigger than any single conveys moved during the first World War That gives us clue to the vast numbers of troops n- volved. The rapid emptying of training camps in this country also provides a clue.
 Another interesting sidelight is the official dis closure that most of the forces which have just ar rived at British ports belong to the force whether flying or ground personnel That suggests the inn mensty of the aerial offensive which is sure to pre- cede any opening of land front in Western Europe
 Without attempting to set it down in actual fig ures, one can visualize the total of British Canad- ian and American ground forces now in the British Isles as a colossal striking force The entire Can adlan Army excepting home guards and troops still Tn elementary training, is in Great Britain The puK of American troops now overseas are doubtless m the British Isles. And British troops apart from reserves only equipped for home defense must num- Der couple of millions
 Of course numbers are not the only factor Fire power is more important. And air power must pave the way Tor invasion. But to pursue the enemy once 1ootholds are gained on the Continent, many divs- Ions of lnfantrymen will be needed These are now al hand. In training for front-line service The Brit lSh Isles have become the greatest insular advance base in military history

CHERRY BLOSSOMS

There were tales of Jap atrocities for some time. Many Americans shrugged at reports and passed them off as propaganda Then came the return to home of American diplomats, journalists and busi- nessmen. Americans found out that Japs in uniform aren't polite.
 Nice people Frst-hand accounts of how our citi- zens were treated in Tokyo aren't pretty. The mal- treatment is not a matter of isolated instances The bad treatment our people received was general, as general as the instincve cruelty that has become part of the Jap militarist
 The Japs at home may have been smiling because they heard of the lavish entertainment were fur nishing for Jap nationals held in this country where they were housed in the best hotels and health re- sorts
 Feeding the American prisoners slop that a pig would turn his up at if he wasn't starving, brutal handling by Jap guards-all of these things must be remembered when the Jap militariSts are brought their knees Such actions were not prac- tical in aiding the Jap war machine. There be no explanation
 Meanwhile the Japs have refused to allow sailing of a special American Red Cross mercy ship with supplies for the American prisoners in the custody of the Japs at Manila. The Geneva Treaty is for gotten-and for no apparent reason.

Emergency Food Caches
Petersburg Press)

Petersburg Press)
 What has become of the tons of emergency food supplies which Alaska towns were promised months ago? At least two months ago we were informed by responsible authority that it just awaiting
 transportation here from the south" Apparently he indulgng in good old wishful thinking, because community has yet received any of the supplies.
 At the time the plan announced we thought it was good idea We still think it a good idea. Irregular as our supplies have been this summer, it is very possible that "ain't seen nuthn yet. /" Everyone realizes that it would be a good idea to stock up the larder with the winters supply of food stuff. Very few families, however, can afford to put out the cash to lay in food for the family to eat all winter. It could be done only credit, and it is certainly unfair to ask the merchant to extend long term credit for large amounts of food for which he will have to put out the cash in thirty days. Moreover the average family has not storage space to keep a winters store of food though they could afford to buy it.
 An adequate supply of essential foodstuffs safely stored in caches kept up by the communities involv- ed, would be simple solution to the problems which will be created if ships unexpectedly delayed too long It is to be hoped that the supplies will be forthcoming as they were promised.

The War Department announces that troop move ments in the United States during the first nine months of this were three times what they were during equivalent period after we entered World War I. But Secretary Stimson, in giving out this cheerful news declined to speculate "on any com- parison between the movement of troops abroad in the same periods in the first World War and the present one" We might take this an instance of necessary caution if of Mir. Stmson's assistant secretaries MT John J. McCloy, had not stated day earlier that now have more than 50000o men overseas" All need do to get comparison is to turn back to the A. E. F histories.

culties, with widely dispersed objectves, have done about three times as well. We may even guess though it is pure guesswork and of no possible comfort to the enemy-that the rate of increase in the second A. E. P is and will be greater than was the corresponding rate for the first A. E. F.
 These comparisons ought to cheer the civilian population, which, possibly, needs cheering up more than the troops do Our hard work and mild sacri- fices are getting us somewhere. Of course loyal private citizen wishes to know precisely how many men we have at precisely what spots. It can be no fun to possess such secrets and have to keep them buttoned up and does not envy those who are under that obligation.
