A VALLEY GARDEN PATCH-J. /
A. Fialo yesterday brought to town a
head of lettuce of the Simpson Curly /
variety that weighed nearly two
pounds. That is not so bad for a 4
garden patch in early February when 1
most gardens are under a foot of snow. /
But the most remarkable thing about 4
this garden patch is that it is on an
adobe farm such as most people pass
up as a poor place to raise things. Mr. 1
Fialo says adobe is all right if one
knows how to handle it and it has q /
place in the world the same as every /
thing else. The trouble is with the I
fellows who have never learned the /
real poetic virtues of adobe.
A GIRL-Many people have Won /
dered why the storN's legs are so long
but like everything else in nature [
there's a reason. Yesterday morning (
the usefulness of the stork's high wat
er legs was plainly demonstrated to I
Mr.. and Mrs. r. e. Hutton, who re-
side on the banks of Cave creek at /
No. 1910 west Jefferson street. The [
bird braved the food and brought them (
a girl baby. Three years ago the same /
bird brought them a boy, but they
could not see why a chicken would +
not have served the purpose of mes /
senger just as well, for there was no
water then. But what would have
been the result had the fate of yester-
days precious burden depended on a /
hen?
THE NEXT QUESTION NOW
The statehood question having been +
apparently disposed of Yesterday al /
rernoon the interest of the populace [
again turns to the gOvernorship and /
many believed that the name of Gov /
ernOr Brodie's successor would be i'm
mediately made known. The governor /
is Of the opinion that his orders from I
the Office CT the military secretary OF I
The war department to report for duty 1
have been forwarded and that they are /
being held W in the mails. No time /
will lie lcst in the naming of the new /
governor. Many were of the opinion /
that Governor Brodie might remain IN /
Office at least until the close Of the /
legislature but that will not be pos
siblr. He WI have to leave Phoenix /
not later than February % in order /
to reach Washington in time to make /
for the inauguration ut I
y hich he WI command the Rough
Riders constituting the presidents /
guard Of honor. He viii not return TO /
Arizona IN the capacity of governor. (
