FROM ARIZONA.
Mrs. Goldman, Formerly of Rush
Hill, Writes the Message an
Interesting Letter.

Sonoita, Arizona, March IT,
Mr. Editor and Dear Friends:
now live in the southern part of Ar
iona, it being abont the middle of
Santa Cruz county. 1t is also the
best part of Arizona. Some call it
'The Garden Spot of Arizona" and
l believe it. l came from Northeast
Missouri, and like it here much
better. Here we have in general,
short, warm winters with plenty of
rain, early spring, and dry, warm
summer and late fall. The nights
warm. The grass comes early but
dries up during the dry season,
which is during April, May and June
but this year we have had so much
rain l believe it will stay green till
the rainy season. Since last July
we have had about 80 inches of rain.
That ought to grow most anything.
In this valley where 1 live the prin-
cipal crops are beans, corn, milo
maize, fetareta, and cane. Squashe s
are raised for fattening hogs, and
they are also good for milk COWS and
pies.
What the farmers are trying to
get now are silos. OF course we are
all new corners and it will take time
for everything. Some farmers have
good wells and others are drilling
for water. They find nice, cool,
clear, water running along among
the rocks
The mountains are not far from
where we live, where hunters go
during the hunting season. In those
mountains there are found deer,
bear, bob cats, lions, wolves, foxes,
coyotes, and many smaller animals
Some of them are very vicious, and
then some are good for food. Birds
such as the quail and dove, are not
numerous. The rabbits are nearly
all killed out. The hawks and other
larger animals have eaten them
We are trying to kill off the unuse.
full ones and leave the useful ones
Hogs and cattle, / believe, are
good money making animals. We
have baby hogs and the mother fol
a start. Most all good garden truck
can be raised. 1 am going to raise
peanuts and popcorn to chew or
next winter. Water-melons grow
here too. Fruit grows successfully
We have nice Sunday school ant
a good day school. We have nice
neighbors. The people are are al
nice and accommodating.
Well, 1 could write a week anC
then not tell half of the good things
All come and see for yourselves
Give my best regards to all of M
Audrain friends.

THE SHAMROCK.
Mr.. Hugh Donnelly Tells The Mes
sage of Its History.

There was a time when we could
not wear green in. Ireland. Eng
land treated us badly, pesecuted us
for wearing it,. England may some
day give us a chance to. be. some
thing. Some day think we'll have
good government there. They
won't give us anything till this war
is over and no telling what kind of a
home rule that will bePm sympa-
thetic with the Germans. like En-
glish people but 1 don't like their
government. They've treated us
badly. The laws they make for US
are almost unbearable.
Why do we love the shamrock?
One day St. Patrick was trying to ex-
plain the Trinity and he picked up
a shamrock. Its three leaves on the
one stem made it palmer to them.
1 came to this country when 1
was sixteen years old but 1 re-
member enough about Ireland to
honor st. Patrick, the missionary
who converted the island. l have
no relations there now. My father
and his entire family came here and
here l expect to stay but 1 hope for
those in Ireland now that good times
may come for them.

bitches, one running to Fort Myers
the other near Palm Beach. They
have lowered the lake seven inches
and that lowers the Everglades sew
eral inches. This dry mud is black
but when dry it cracks open and
some think it will burn up all the
soil if fire gets out. Some of the
everglades will never get afire from
the fact it will never all be
drained out dry enough to burn.
From these everglades we cross
over marshy swamps and lowlands
and pass the Indian Seminoles and
their huts, and thru the tough woods
and steer a course to the east to
strike the Atlantic Ocean, where we
reach Palm Beach. East Palm
Beach lies between Lake Worth and
the Atlantic, where millions have
been spent and is now a paradise
on earth. The climate here is
greatly influenced and tempered
both in winter and summer, by the
Gulf Stream, which passes close.
Tropical plants and trees from ev-
cry cline and all parts of the world
are gathered here, walks bordered
with cocoanut, palm, hibiscus anr
oleanders and thousands of other
flowers. Excellent bathing and
| fishing the year around here. Tere
is an iron pier built out in the ocean
for fishing. Here are all kinds of
game and fish. From here we
go to Fort Pierce This a large city
now a railroad town and eating sta
ton and great fishing port. Next
stop is Litesville, at the mouth of
the Indian River, which is six miles
wide at the ocean and the largest
ships come here for the oranges.
From here we go to Cocoa, thence to
Knockledge and to New Smyrna.
This place was named for DR.. Turn
bull in 1865. From here we go to
Datona on the beach, quite a city
and great fishing and hunting place.
A number of Northern people stop
here Good fishing and no better
bathing place can be found.
Then on to Sea Breeze. This also
is on the Atlantic Ocean and is great
for fishing. A great many tourists
winter here. Now we go to Old Au-
gustine. The narrowest streets in
this country and the most sought
after city in the South. No one
comes to Florida but who must go to
st. Augustine. If they come back to
Jacksonville it is but 3S miles and
costs but $3.50 for the round trip,
From here we go to Jacksonville
the key to the South and to Cuba
and to the Old World.
This morning Mr.. Loveless went
to our boatlanding where there were
hundreds of boats filled with all

dozen. Garden truck is very cheap
Apples very high. The apples
