so tempting that transportation could
not wait for the government to make
the way to them secure. It has gone
ahead, finding it's own path to each
new field, suffering great losses in so
doing, but content to suffer them be-
cause the returns were so immensely
greater.
The Coast and Geodetic Survey,
which in this field should have been
the pioneer showing the way for COM
MERGE to reach each new enterprise,
has, instead been following impotent-
ly behind charting the dangers less
from data obtained by its own surveys
than from reports of vessels which
have been wrecked upon them.

affairs be corrected, yet it will now
take years before the surveys can
reach a point where they can even

Inside of 30 minutes after County Chairman P P Greer had telephoned him that the big celebration in the Gila capital was likely to be cut short through ex- haustion of the supply of stamps and bonds. Director Tritle was seated in a high powered car and speeding out the Apache Trail with $4,00O worth of the needed stamps.
 It was just little before 2 o'clock when what was promised to be a record breaking run was begun. Director Tritle announced that he expected to reach Globe between o'clock and ' o'clock, in ample time to relieve the shortage.
 Globe staged a two-day fcelebration and Thrift Stamp sale. It went strong CT than even the most optimistic work CTS expected Miami found itself run ming out of stamps about the same time that Globe sent out it's IS. O. S." call.

Shortly be- Tore the opening of last season, the company spent several thousand dol lars in new gin stands and equipment and had ready for the seasons run the largest independent gin in the valley. Now the contemplated gin is to be as far superior to this one as was the one destroyed over the equipment of for mer seasons. In addition the company is arranging to finance growers through the cropping season. Work will begin on the new building just as soon as all satisfactory plans are completed.

ST. PATRICK EVE
 SOCIAL |S PLANNED

ROOSEVELT DISTRICT, March 12. What promises to be one of the most enjoyable affairs held at the Neigh borhood House in many months IS the box social and entertainment planned for St. Patrick's eve, Saturday, March Is. The decorations and the numbers on the program will, as far as possible, be suggestive of the renowned patron saint of Ireland. Owing to the depar- ture of Mrs. w. c. Powell from the district, Mrs. E. Deane Ryder will have charge of the affair, which is given under the auspices of the Neighbor- hood club, and a striking coincidence is the fact that Mrs. Ryder has visited the Emerald Isle and the scenes of St. Patrick's labors.
 A program, which promises to be both mirthful and entertaining, will precede the sale of the boxes, and the entertainment will conclude with a couple of hours of dancing. Arrange ments are being made for special music for the dance. Each woman who attends will bring a box which will be sold to the highest bidder and this undoubtedly will furnish untold amuse- ment. Those in charge say that all who want to spend an evening of. fun Pand enjoyment should not fail to at tend this affair.
 Following is the program which has been arranged thus far, but is subject to change.
