into small sections of land and are

NV Mothers Gard-n.

Her heart was like her garden,
Old fashioned quaint and sweet,
A wealth of buds and blossoms
Hid in a still retreat.
Sweet violets of sympathy
Were always opening there,
And lilies white and pure enclosed,
Each one a whispered prayer.
Forget me nots there fingered
To late perfection brought,
And there bloomed purple pansies
In many a tender thought.
There hopes first snowdlops took deep
root
And lowered because they must,
There loves own roses reached toward
heaven
On trellises Of trust.
And in that quiet garden
The garden of her heart
Song birds built nests, and caroled
Then songs of cheer apart.
And from IL still floats back to us,
Oercumng sin and strife,
Sweet MS the breath of roses blown,
The fragrance of her life.

Legislation in line with the recommended

First. A federal bureau Of naturaliza-

of and labor, to supervise the
administrator Of the naturalization laws
and to receive returns Of naturalizations
pending and accomplished.

But MT. Krue- gers idea Is that a hearty response stimulates public sentiment and keeps the importance of the issue before the people, wherefore he writes:
 Your kind favor of the 9th instant is at hand. I am intensely opposed to joint statehood with New Mexico and therefore l intend to be present at the board of trade mass meeting to be held in this city on the 27th.
 United action and perfect organiza- tion is necessary and the Phoenix board of trade by its prompt action in sup port of and its able assistance in the alignment of emphatic opposition to the obnoxious scheme of New Mexico poli- ticians merits the thanks and appro- val of every loyal citizen of Arizona"
