Garden Calendar.


A new plan has been made for the
vegetable gardening contest in the
Boys and Girls Club Work for the
Golden Belt Fair next fall. Encourage
the boys and girls in carrying it out.
Here it is.
Start with ten cents; buy seed with
it; start your garden and see to what
amount you can increase that ten cents
by Fair time by raising and selling
the products. Keep a careful account
OF every transaction, just what and
how much you bought and what you
paid for it, and how much you sold and
what you received for it. Preserve a
sample of each garden product if pos
sible.
To illustrate:-Suppose that q boy
uses five cents of his ten cents to buy
radish seed ian early variety.) When
the radishes are large enough to eat he
sells them at 5cts. a bunch Che should
keep a record of ali his sales.) The
money which he thus earns he i'm
mediately puts into the purchase of
other seeds and perhaps tomato plants
Gf he hasn't raised them himself on
the other FIVE cents) and so on all
through the gardening season. Keep
that ten cents growing.
The boy or girl making the best
record is champion vegetable gardener
of the Golden Belt.
Who viii it be?

West Point Cadets

The United States senate has passed the bill to increase the number of cadets at the United States Military Academy to 1922. At present each senator ahd each congressional district including the terri tories of Porto Rico Alaska and Hawaii is permitted have one cadet at the academy The District of Columbia may have two cadets. In addition there forty appointments at large made by the president.
 In considering army reorganization plan it would be hard magnify the need of trained officers. The amount of preparation needful to turn out com potent officers indicated by the of instruc- tion at West Point. The course requires four years and the principal subjects taught mathematics English French Spanish, drawing. drill regulations of all arms of the service, natural and experimental philosophy chemistry chen1ical phys,cs mineraloGy geology electricity, history international constitu- tional and military law civil and military engineer ing, art and science of war. and ordnance anu sunnery.
 From the middle of June until the end of August the cadets live in camp, engaged only in military duties and receiving military instruction. They have only leave of absence, granted the end of the first two years Each cadet is paid s7O9.5O year, sum which if properly expended is sufficient for his support.
 Perhaps all the subjects mentioned in the course of study absolutely essential to the turning out of fairly able officer and some of them could no doubt, be omitted in a case of emergency Never theess great deal depends upon officers know ing his business and he should be ready deal with all sorts of unlocked for situations quality of the officers has much to do with the morale and efficiency of army. The increase in the number of cadets at West Point will be well worth the cost

The Phoenix Swimming Boys

A statement has been made by MT. Fred R. Cals the swimming instructor at the Y M C. A. that ought be seized upon by the Chamber of Commerce the immigration commissioner the real estate agents ana all who have a genuine interest bringing the valley larger population of the right kind of people, In the short time Mr. Callis has been here he has taught 600 men and boys swim mostly boys of course With the third lesson there is a test The youth is required to swim 25 yards unaided. Those of us who remember when learned to swim, recog- nze that as something of test of endurance and strength.
 Now here is the statement: MT. Cals has taught the art of swimming thousands of boys in different parts the country and he that in other place has he found such large percentage of the boys under his care able to stand this test in no other place have few weak anaemic boys come 0 him learn swim.
 1t may be the climate that makes the Phoenix youngsters almost unanimously strong and hardy, Mr. Callis believes that it is the climate. though indirectly, encouraging the boys to spend so much of their time all the year out of doors We do not think that the parents of Phoenix realize what q hearty progeny they have; how few sickly looking boys may be met the streets
 If parents all over'the country knew about this they would be flockng the Salt River Valley with their boys and girls whose health is more to fathers and mothers than the financial advantages or any other community. But the financial advantages of this community measure up very well with those of any other educational advantages much above the average-and. have saloons

 Boys of this class have not been brought under the notice of Mr. Calis for boys of this kind do take to swimming other athletic exercises. They hang about pool rooms profess be interested in prize fighting and to know a great deal about base ball racing and the girls of a certain class. Some of them will reform time and become manly.

An Aerial Breakdown

The first real test of army aviation service was marked by of those seemingly unforgivable accidents that often embarrass aviators. Lieu tenant Gorre, who flying to Casas Grandes, was forced to descend in Mexican desert because of a leaking gasoline tank. He was un.oe to find the leak and lost all of his fuel. He had three days rations with him. After waiting in vain two days for a party he walked eight miles to a road left note pinned to a post and walked back to his aero plane. His note discovered, relief was sent and he resumed his flight unpleasant and danger experience
 It is of the mysteries why the leaking gaso- line tank something enough in automobiles should so frequently interfere with the plans of ayi- ators. It is doubly nexplicable that machine in poor condition should be sent by the army aviation branch The army has so many aeroplanes that great effort is required to keep them in order If Lieutenant Gorrel had not possessed good measure of physical endurance and determina tion his ad- venture the Mexican desert might have had i; tragic ending.
 We could do much to make up for the deficiency Of at the top-effciency. This should not be diff cult considering the high quality of our soldiers The value Of thorough organization is surely exempfed Tn the case of the Germans who for more than a year and half have been more than holding their own on land against the armies of powerful nations and who could probably keep their lines intact n definitely.

 sFurther, I am opposed to the passage of such law because 1t would deprive the State of a large revenue without accomplishing re- suits, and that, too, at time when both the city and State are very much in need of the revenues pro- duced.
 However, I am heartily in favor of temperance and whenever it is my pleasure to confirm a class of boys. l always exact from them pledge to abstain from the use of intoxicants until they become of age. am also firm believer in local option. and whenever the majority of the citizens of a county or any portion of the State want to vote on the question of local option, their wishes should be gratified."

Neither ls Preparedness

The debate in the senate the army increase bill has far indicated that preparedness be secured this country only by considerably larger regular army than we have and system of compulsory uni versal military training and service. We may that kind of preparedness but it appears from the remarks of who oppose the plans one another that it is that nothing.
 Two things brought in the debate on Saturday. One that the proposed liberalization of the national guard is unconsttutonal that no federal legislation take from the states their of national guard that therefore, fed- era cannot exercise any control the guard except such the governors of the states choose to relinquish. That would leave a situation which by of the imagination could called preparedness.
 Another view expressed in the senate in opposi- ton to the federal volunteer plan that it would destroy the effectiveness of the national guard That is the objection that made to the Continen- tai Army plan which also volunteer system. Since these objections really in opposition each other each relating to entirely different matter it is possible and probable that both are valid that both plans mpractcable that either of them would fail to meet the needs of the country in emergency.
