HAYDEN WILL BET hN
 OSTRICH EXPERIMENT. TER
Represe entative from Arizona Says He May See That Fund is Expended
 In Valley of the Salt

Since Carl Hayden obtained the ap- propriation of $2500 to be devoted to the scientifically study of breeding and feeding ostriches, that statesman has been considered the ostrich leader of the house over in Washington. When he made his fight for the apropria- ton and got il. he had in mind the expending of the fund in the Salt River ValleN. All of which met the extreme approval of those whose bus mess il is to push along business in these parts. The news came to the notice of the board of trade through the regular channels.
 The other day d clipping from q Los Angeles paper announced that a ship ment of California ostriches had been sent to the capital for the purposes named in the Hayden clause of the ap- propriation bill. so Hayden was con suited by letter about it.
 In his reply, received here Nes- te1dav. he enclosed d letter he had from the acting secretary of aSricull- turc. stating that the fund of $23oo would not become aNaiablc until Jui\ I. that nary q bird had been shipped to. from or around Washington, or California for experimental purposes.
 From the drift of his letter, it can be gathered that MT Hayden is going to make an enthusiastic fight to have the ostrich experiments carrled on m the Salt River valley. place well suited to the study of the big blro. Tn this he will be supported not oll\ bv the ostrich men, but by everyone who wants to see the attention of l'c world directed through important pup lie works to the splendid opportunities | of the valley.

our expenses for the year 1913 up to and including May to have been $4445.36 as against S5571 for the same period the year before, which makes saving on expenses of $1126.4S for the first five months Of the year and this without q decrease in efficiency
 It gives me a good deal of pleasure to be able to make this report at the closing of my work with you in your aassociation work. l want to say that the outlook for the future from my standpoint seems bright I think the work ought to grow and prosper and with careful and systematic effort it can be put in such d basis that it will be well supported. it's efficiency in creased, it's influence extended and its value to the city doubled. I think the time will come when the business men will come to realize that the Young Mems Christian Association is one of the city's best assets from the business standpoint.
 Before I bring this report to a close I want to mention especially the faith fuI services of MT. Fitzgerald in his work and of Mir. Mowcn in his. Our work together has been pleasant and congeniaL have found them always ready to cooperate with me in my plans even though they may not have agreed with me as to the wisdom of same and they have stood by the guns early and late and have shown a splendid spirit of willingness to make whatever of personal sacrifice was nec- essary for the good of the course I also want to speak of the services of bp ies flit m in his efforts and, l think without question. the best janitor I have ever seen anywhere at any time.

 Our record of work during May, as well as for the year since January 1st, is very encOura Eing In January and again in May We faced a very heavy expiration list, but in spite of that fact we have been able not only to hold our own. but to make gain in number of members and while our membership re- ceipts for the year do not show quite as much as for the preceding year, still, taking into consideration the fact that there were two heavy mbership campaigns last year which gave mem bership receipts in January of 1912 to the amount of s1245.25 and also heavy receipts for April and May and also the fact that q great many of our re neWals were renewed through the ff- nancjal campaign this year and the money has not been counted g mem bership receipts. it still shows up to a very splendid advantage. Then. too, the fact that we are running a special sumner membership, which. for the present, prevents us from securing large percentage of renewals for the wear, but which fact will surely mean a heavier income from membership work next october.
 The report of the physical director for the month is equally encouraging. i His report shows that more people used our privileges last month than at any time in the history of the assocla- l ton
 The interest in the boys department | has kept up very well considering cer- ! tain drawbacks in that work Among l the juniors a great deal of interest was | created by the chicken raising contest which was ended during May and which resulted in very fine showing made by ninc-tenths of the boys who 1 participated.
 ! The boys are quite enthusiastic in their gymnastic work, attend the class es well and enjoy the swimming pool to the utmost.
 By comparison of receipts for the nine months I have been here with the ! receipts of the corresponding period ! for the year before I find that we have taken in $11473.4O as against S8,2o9.9O 1 the year before. Nor does this take 1 into cOnsidera ton.

 report of our work for the month of May, 1913.
 on April 3oth we had a total en- rollmcnt If 591 members: during the month there were 145 aspirations, which brought the net membership down to 44G.
 During May we took in new mem bers, including renewals, to the num- hcr of 157, giving total membership nl G03 at the close of the month. This gives us net gain of F for the month and a total gain of 77 since the first of the year.
 When I came here last September the membership report showed total membership at the end of August of 5I0 which gives us a net gain since that date Of 93. This gives us q very encouraging report at the present time the result of which is not from special membership campaigns so much as it i- a steady, healthfuI growth.
 Nor will this membership report show the general feeling of the people of the city toward the association. When I came here in September I found from many sources a rather harsh feeling toward the association, which I am glad to say I believe has gradually been given up and I find largely a different feeling toward the work on the part of our business men This was evidenced very especially in the report of Dr. Wilkinson from his financial campaign work in April ir which he said that he found the feel ing very much better and he found it very much easier to get money for the association
