 father Charles TrumbulI Havdnn. re-
 called him home to take up the se-
 riOus duties of life He has. how
 ever. continued his readings along
 economic lines, and is counted one
 of the deep students not only of

 their results. MT. Haydens mother

 and comes of that fine old family of
 Arkansas and Mississippi that has

 over the history of their country.
 She conserved and improved the pos
 sessions left by her husband. and
 kept up her quaint and comfortable

 Arizona is becoming a rich agri- cultural country" said Mrs Hayden.
 and we will soon be quoting crops like our sister states in the grain belt. Alfalfa is the chief product now. and as this crop is one of the most repaying that can be raised. great attention is being given it. though cereals and truck farming have their share of attention one thing we are very proud Of in Phoc- i nix is our olive oil Splendid olive i groves dot the plain about, as they ! should to follow the traditions of l the desert country. Our factory | within Phoenix has produced olive | oil which has received the blue rib bon at every state or international | exposition for the past ten years.

 Mrs. Hayden, though feeling an aXle. has taken much pleasure in socially. She joined the Congressional club soon after her ar -ivaI, and has taken an active part n its affairs The desire to meet women from every part of the coun- try and to exchange views has made
 
 able to the newcomer, and none has entered more heartily into it's spirit than the wife of the member from Arizona. It has been eXhilarlting to Mrs Hayden to realize how many deals different people cherish, and to find the valuation placed on va rious objects. As so many have found it, Mrs. Hayden says it is an aducltion and worth any sacrifice -o attain. Likewise. she finds that 1t makes her cherish her own home treasures more ardently and more of her own wonderful environment and it's possibilities to soul and mind.
 Representative Hayden is an eX- pert with the rifle. and his wife and le often take hunting jaunts tOgeth ar in the mountains. Every summer hey go to Camp Perry, on Lake Erie. near Toledo, Ohio, where com Detitive exhibitions are held. Mir. Hayden. as befits a man who has been sheriff of Arizona. has won many gold medals, blue ribbons and other symbols of a steady hand and accurate eye
