$lO.O00,00O for the following year, add
ing S5,O00,0O0 each year for five years
in all
OF this sum Arizona receives for
the first year about $71 900, second
year $li2 600, and increasing at the
rate of $4,000 a year 50 that in 1920
the state will receive $685. or over
Sl,O0O.ecO during the next five years.
A further clause of the bill pro-
yides for spending a large amount in
forest areas. OF this sum about 800.
900 a year will, it IL expected, be avail

mother. the little old lady has taken the
fault upon herself, and before her son
has made remarks to the effect that she
is too old to be bothered by the romp-
ing, noisy children.
Perhaps this has been as great a
cross for the son to bear as for the
mother, yet there seems to me no myth
of Tantalus as potent as the sufferings
of mother whose happiness seems
close and yet is held so far away from
her"
We must all grow oid-we will all
have our yesterdays, and sometimes il
seems as if the work of mother
years is poorly paid. And so this
little old lady with her six wonder
full sons has to come to our studio
to sit in a dark corner, watching,
laughing and crying over the colorful
antics of the children who take part in
our plays.
Grandmother Betsy is only one of
thousands of lonely mother hearts who,
though their cup is filled TO the
trimming, are never allowed to drink
deep draughts of happiness.
