people of the country purchase what are knows as Ielevue tickets from the i theatres which enable them 10 hear
 as well as see the plays in the opera ! houses when they are connected by l phone with them, thus you see count. rY life in this day and age k nof such dreaded lie after all l notice the poultry bus ness iS I 9lg industry too but 1t Is so scientifically handled that the work IS made easy and good ! profits are the result.
 The city is connected with all the nearby towns by trglly They use the
 gasoline motor cars the same as III the
 East. The thought came J9 me l had
 better take trolly ride out t9 T0nti-
 town and see what that place was like. You remember how 1t was started by Father Bandini He cer-
 tainly can be proud of his work. He
 now sees the benefits Of his earlier sacrifices. You will scarcely credit 1t when 1 tell you It now has d p0pu-
 lati0n of 5000. The surrounding country looks like an itallan vineyard
 They now raise d new kind of grape that makes superior raisin. l saw vast wine presses and jelly factories
 ucf diSp dtSt II ulIS ol dIl NdTItUItS all out in that country on over to Sloan Springs. l was also astonish- ed to see groves of nut trees The convent that was built the year we went away has been greatly enlarged and now many children from surround ing towns are being educated there
 l also noticed special school for languages and large conSeryatory ,f
 teachers They have introduced many Italian styles of architecture
 There IS also an art school which k proving very popular A Il seems pros porous Tn that vicinity.
 l took d run over tp Elm Springs and verilY It's springs have made It famous for l ind 1t has become d eel. ebrated summer and winter resort. The water has proven to have wonder
 ful medical properties 1 thought while 1 was out 1 would visit Monte
 Ne: It is certainly beautiful Monte Ne like the song they used to sing there. Surely MT. Haryeyis ideals have all materiallzed, for it is now a city of several thouSand-made up it is true of mostly transientS, but that is just what he wanted. was much 5. Money and children from our town in Maryland, she told ne She intended spending the summer at Monte Ne. She introduced me to many from diff ferent states in the union. You know we never thought the club house would be finished: well 1t is and an extra story added to it, and it is beauty too. l am invited to attend a ha tH ha next week How 1 wish you were of course. The city Of Monte Ne have landscape gardeners employed making the earth like landscape good bye for l intended to return again soon. My next journey was to Johnson; 1t is nice little city too and down by the big spring they have beautiful lake and pleasure resort for children, all the new devices that can be imagined they have for their amusement. It IS all free and kept up by philanthropic cltiZens of near by cities. So Johnson is one of the fav0rtte resorts of the people, for children always lead the way. When Melton and Renner used to tell US | Slo0 per acre. how we used to smile. but little did we think 1t would reach S500 and 5000, yet such is the case.
 Now l am going to reveal tO you another reason of Springdale's $ growth. Old mother earth has been made to yield up her hidden treasures by pros. pect0rs. he mountains just east of the city are rich beyond imagination 1 n nj platinum. Now Mary don't you dare to say 'l told you so, <" and in the flats between the city and mountains has been opened up vast oil fields. So you see what has helped to make the phenomenal growth of Springdale. 4ou are wondering about the gold mine at Rogers that was 80 much talked about in 1905 and 1906, well will have to tell you that in another letter for 1t would take many pages. nay a book to write you all about it. 1 wlll say this, Rogers is a Spiritual Mecca for all those religlouSly inclined and desiring d home of peace and plenty. Another great incentive to the enterprise of Springdale's growth k and has been The Spriagdale Daily News: It Is still owned by J. r. Staf- 1tA N 1N'b HID AAAA CR oilo HUN nave al most entire control Of it. They make fearless progressive and just editors The young men certainly deserve praise for theIr never tiring energy in the upbuilding of the whole coun- try. l ind an unseen factor working for the good of all, that, is harmony. The people have long ago discover ed that in unity there is strength, they have also realized that we are all children of one infinite Father and the more harmony We express the better We manifest the Universal Spirit.
 Now Mary you may begin immedi. ately to make arrangements to move back to Sprlngdate for 1 will not leave here again To me this is the nearest paradise 1 expect to see while l remain on this earth When 1 tell you there are several very up to date and practical women'S clubs here I know that will hasten your departure from the East. Send me wireless message when you start. We have the wireless telegraph system here as everywhere else. Is not this q glorious age in which to live:
