FREE SPEECH
(By WALT MAsoN.l

h6G or GGSE
Free speech certainly is a blessing.
Without it life would be distressing. 1t
is a boon we long have cherished;
for it our well known fathers persisted.
1t is the rock on which this nation was
built, to all mems admiration. While
am privileged to chatter, I'm gay,
no odds what is the matter. While
can roast our statute makers and call
them NUTS and boobs and takers, I'll
stand for all the laws they're passing;
my safety valve is harmless sassing.
Free speech, sweet boon! We must
not lose il, and therefore never should
abuse ii. Some gents. who wish to
awe or dazzle, are working free
speech 20 a FRAGILE; they hand out
sentiments exotic, they're saying
things unpatriotic; they're toiling
like so many yeomen to dish up COM
fort TO the foeman. These skates, to
whom tact is stranger. will put oui
free speech graft in danger. Because
of guys who've no discretion, no COM
mon sense in their possession, l may
be pinched when I'm unreeling mild
and harmless line of spelling. So
maintain we should be stopping all
venomous and rancid yawping.

A PRAYER FROM THE FIELD.

God grant that in the bitter strife
Which all must face who linger here.
Upon the battered Field Of Life.
Or with the laurel swinging near
Along the worlds red firing line
The battle of the strong and weak
The fate of all the Fates be mine
will not shcw the Yellow Streak.
If fortune play me false or fair
II from the shadowland | creep
Or UP the heights-and linger there
Or topple downward to the deep
Or up the rugged path Of Fame
Where one man fails-another mounts
God grant that play out the game
For their is nothing else that counts.
-Grantland Rice.

turned to Phoenix from a tour of
Pima and Pinal counties on official
business. According to the observa-
tions of Mr.. Stephens, grazing over
both OF these Counties is in very poor
condition. The lack of summer rams
has made the stockmen entirely de-
pendent upon the winter rains for
feed. but these do not seem to be
forthcoming. II is said that unless
there is plentiful rainfall within the
next 30 days stockmen in these two
counties will suffer heavy losses. The

to cattlemen in other states who are
contemplating shipping cattle from
