Inscription In Hermitage.
Beneath this stony roof inclined,
/ soothe to ueace my pensive mind;
And while, to shade my lowly cave,
Empowering elms their umbrage
wave,
And while the maple dish is mine
The beeches cup, unstained with
wine
I scorn the gay licentious crowd,
Nor heed the toys that deck the
proud.
Within my limits, lone and still,
The blackboard pipes in artless trill;
Fast by my couch, congenial guest,
The wren has wove her messy nest;
From busy scenes and brighter skies,
To Turk with innocence, she flies,
Here hopes in safe repose to dwell,
Nor aught suspects the sylvan cell.
At morn I take my customed round,
To mark how buds yon shrubby
mound,
And every open primrose count,
That trinity paints my blooming
mount;
Or DER the sculptures, quaint and
rude,
That grace my gloomy solitude,
LedCH III WluulIfS WT6dIHb W stray
Fantastic ivy's gadding spray.
At eve, within yon studious nook,
I open my brass-embossed book,
Portrayed with many holy deed,
OF martyrs, crowned with heavenly
need;
Then, as my taper wakes dim,
Chant, ere sleep, my measured
hymn,
And, at the close, the CLEANS behold
OF parting wings, bedropt with gold.
While such pure joys my bliss create,
Who but would smile at guilty state?
Who but would wish his holy lot
In calm oblivion's humble grot?
Who but would cast his pomp away,
To take my staff, and amice gray;
And to the worlds tumultous stage
Prefer the blameless hermitage?

9, 1927.

The United States has an experiment farm on
the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma Here
ults even more marvellous than in the valley
are produced. Down on the lower levels there
are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally
during December and January, but on the mesa
the breath of frost never touches the most del
icate vegetation. Oranges grown at the FEEDER
al experiment station are unsurpassed in their
delicious quality.
Yuma is busy, up-todate town The more
modern Improvements consist OF several blocks
of attractive brick buildings. threestory post
Office building, also of brick and many other
nice structures. Among some of the greater
improvements which are being made, are a
$3.50 school building, $4,000 ice plant,
fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, q
larger passenger depot. and the probability of
new court house to cost S75 O00. There is con-
siderable business done there, but the people
have not begun To awaken to the vast posSbili
ties of the place. They should at once erect an
up-to-date tourist hotel. 1t should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with all
kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere
were only transportable like mineral waters,
and one could send consignments of this Yuma
winter air to the East the inspiration of its
health-giying qualities would bring $500
tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo
RADIO River.
Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic
attractions in the parts of the East swept every
year by billiards and SnowStormS to attract Il
City full every winter. he fertility OF the val
ley below viii almost make itself known with
out effort on the part OF the people. But with a
valley full OF intelligent and industrious rural
population. producing fruits and vegetables
poultry. eggs fresh milk and fragrant butter,
Yuma should be one of the most delightful
winter resorts in all America. There is every
thing there to furnish tourists with the most
Eealthfnl and delicious food and if the air in
that region does not drive doctors to seek a
living elsewhere. it will be because the people
do not know how to live properly.
The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909,
and ir ten years from today the attractions of

those bottom lands will be so well known that
it will require $1,000 in cash to buy single
