 phoned in last evening at 6:55, and showed 9.S0 feet of water running in the Verde. At Granite Reef there was four feet of water going over the north side The south siuc had about 4 If a foot more going over.
 It is expected that the water will continue to go down. The telephone from Fossil Creek stated that it was showing there and a great deal colder, giving hopes of a good freeze. Rivers Going Down The Salt River went down steadily all day. No figures could be obtained from the Central avenue bridge last evening. At Tempe, the tension was lessened considerably. The river was starting to behave again, and where a few days ago was a raging torrent. yesterday there could be seen quite a number of large muddy islands There were any number of sight seers at Tempe all day constant stream of machines headed for the south side town all day long.

were getting together. they would
open the doors and the friends
would rush together. Fathers
would meet mothers and little chill
dren, or the big brother would come
for his little sister, or old friends
that hadn't seen each other for
years and years-and they all
were so happy they just cried. But
the happiest people of all we saw
there were in one little family
where the father hadn't seen his
little boy since he was a baby, and
he couldn't believe that this big
eight year old boy that the mother
had dressed up in a clean white
suit was the little toothless fellow
he had left in the old country. He'd
squeeze him, and then talk to the
mother and then squeeze him again
until we thought there wouldn't be
anything left of the little boy, but
there was. We saw them as we
were going back on the boat when
the father was pointing out all the
different buildings to his big-eyed
little son while the mother stood
behind him and beamed with pride.
That was two years ago when l
saw how things really are at Ellis
Island, but ever since if hear any
body saying sneering things about
immigrants or foreigners, it makes
me mad in a minute. Because it
was not much more than hundred
years ago when the ancestors we
are SO proud of, were immigrants
and foreigners just like those hap.
py newcomers l had seen. And
now that we have built up the most
modern country in the world, just
because they were immigrants, let's
not be snobs to the immigrants who
are coming in now days. I'm glad
they are here, aren't you? And let's
all be real friends-shan't we?

Query Editor, Dear Sir-Where
did we get the name Chautauqua?
Harry M.
That comes from a place by Lake
Chautauqua, N. Y, SO named by the
Indians, where in 1874, a meeting
of people interested in Sunday
schools and missions was held.
which grew into a popular lecture
course; and all others are named
from It'd.

then l was ever so disappointed.
Their song isn't bit pretty, l don't
think, and all the Mr.. Bobolink does
is sit on rail fence and croak out
his grunty little song all day long.
while poor Mrs. Bobolink has to
hustle around and get enough food
for the children.
But if you ever have read what
Washington Irving says about the
bobolinks, you will find what be
comes of a lazy bird like that. The
next thing we hear of him is from
Delaware, where he has lost his
stylish black and white suit and
is wearing a rusty brown, eating
and stuffing all day long, reg
ular vulgar glutton. There they
call him the reed bird, and "wher-
ever he goes. pop! pop! pop! every
firelock in the country is blazing
away. He sees his companions fal-
ling by thousands around him.
Does he take warning and reform !?
Alas, not he! Again he takes his
fight. The rice swamps of the
South invite him." And here, as the
hated rice-bird, he destroys at least
one tenth Of the crops, until at
last he is put in pie and served
up with gravy for dinner.

The Blue Bird;
Read the Story

Have you ever read the story of
'The B1uebird?" 1t is the most
wonderful fairy story you ever
hear of, all about little girl and
boy who woke up in the middle OF
the night on Christmas eve and
found real live fairy right in the
room, and this fairy took them
on o wonderful journey; and the
dog and cat and sugar and bread,
and fire and water were all turned
into people and went with them.
And It tells all about the strange
adventures they had while they
we're hunting the bluebird that
would make them perfectly happy,
until right at the end, guess where
they found it? Well you just read
the book yourself and then you
will see. 1t is up in the children
department of the library, and has
the prettiest pictures in it; so I'm
sure youth think It Is one of the
best books you ever read.

Dear Boys and Girls:


One of the most interesting
places 1 ever have visited is Ellis
island. Since it is a government
station, it is open to the public
with no charge for being carried
over on the ferry or anything, but
you have to get government pass
before you can go.
We started from the Battery,
(that is what the lower part of
New-York City is called) about 10
o'clock and it was a perfect day,
cool, sunshiny, and with just
enough breeze to make little spark
ing waves all over that wonderful
New York harbor. AS we swung
out into the channel. and got the
-ull outline of all those crowded
ogetker sky scrapers, and Brook
'yn Bridge, and the hundreds of
BOATS and ferries and barges and
,essels in the harbor, we could not
,elp from feeling thrill of pride
o think that that big. busy city was
he result of our own American
pirit of modern science and prog
,ess.
And with that pride of our coun-
ry surging through us, we went
own to see those people who were
ust coming into our great land.
Ellis Island is beautiful, with
.reat massive red-brick buildings
trimmed with white stone, and vel
city green grass and flowers and
= ines all over everywhere. And

houting, waving their hats and
andkerchiefs, grinning from ear

lest people in the world; their
, hip was coming into their land of
romise. and they were on it.
We Americans who had come ov-
l. from New York, went up into
alcony around q hinge waiting

iture Americans. who had been
aken off of the Ocean Liner, as
ley came filing into the room be-

the women had colored handker-

THE FOOLISH PATRIOT

Sir Roger Easement is to die His penalty if car jed out will win for him the worlds sympathy not be ause he does deserve it judged by standards ac epted the world over but because he is plainly weak and foolish visionary, making vain sacrifice.
 Easement has gloried in his sefimmoation. He infinite satisfaction in being added to the long roll f reland's martyrs Half century his action might him deserved place with the nobest spirits rho have fought died in defiance of English tyranny nd kept the flame of freedom unquenched in Ireland But his stroke came too late The battle had been reland was already prosperous, result of reforms yrested from British government by patriots mbued with hard common itching for martyrdom. reland had won even ultimate boon of selfgovern nent lacking only definite inauguration. And now hat is coming, with little delay.
 Calm cautious statesmanshp has won these victor es for Ireland with help of hotheaded visiOnar s like Easement but in spite of them just socalistc eforms have been Great Britain through the in egent persevering labors the Fabans rather than he efforts of radical Socialists
 Easement is a striking example of how wrong a nans head may be when his right, and of the polish patriotism that harmful than patriot ,m at all.
