IA corporation has been formed TO
bottle and ship water from the river
Jordan for baptismal purposes,l
On Jordan's stormy banks / stand
And cast a wistful eye
Across the stretch OF barren sand
The stream has been pumped dry.
A weary pilgrim here wait,
My fevered brow to lave
But by transcontinental freight
They've shipped the bounding wave.
Long time ago I turned my feet
Fair Jordan's banks to strike
The river glimmers In the heat,
AS dusty as a pike.
/ see across to Canaan's land
Where shovel scoop and dredge
Are loading up the soil and sand
And setting fields on edge.
On Sinai's mount the drills now hum
And blasts MI all the air
They're quarrying new tablets from
The rock formations there.
Each hallowed spot that once dreamed
A place serene and dear
Is now with excavations scanned
To make a souvenir.
With Sinai carved in tablets small,
And Canaan boxed In peclxs,
And Jordan held In bottles tall,
This thought my soul must Vex:
Do we now face the dreadful day,
And Is II near at hand,
When sinners in a hurry may
Get their religion cannedf Life.

The democratic managers of Mari copa county evidently have no serious purpose of opposing the reelection os Probate Judge Phillips. There is only one thing that need be said of Judge Phillips and that is that all estates which come before him are disposed of with the least possible expense to the heirs. During his administration attorneys have not found the office as fertile a field for fees as it might be, but then probate courts are de- signed for the benefit of heirs, rather than lawyers. Judge Phillips can point to a heightened record established at the end of his first term. Every rul- ing he has made from which an appeal has been taken has been affirmed.
