when this valley, favored though it is. must compete with Egypt Then it is that lands must be carefully chosen for quantity yield and farmed eff ciently and intensively.
 The Southwest Cotton company is. willing to supply necessary ginning facilities, but any construction based on war prices for cotton, is certain to result in ultimate loss. Better to care for the southeast section, we possibly will build a gin at Goodyear and thereby release our other gins on that side for growers cotton.
 "The Goodyear company can prob ably use all the high grade cotton grown in the valley next year. We have bought about two-thirds of this years production and would have bought all of it had war conditions not curtailed our tire output The demand for our tires promises to be at least 50 per cent greater the coming year than the past

Need Roads Badly

NcCu nOSuS Oduly
 Referring to the city and valley gen. erally MT. Seiberling said:
 The interest shown here in ade- quate good roads construction is en- couraging. This county could make no investment that would yield such large and immediate returns as build ing hard surface roads on your main arteries. Your roads are abominable n drawback to the valley, so promis- ing in prosperity. Whatever YOU may do. you will never gain your fullest development and highest efficiency until hard surface highways are con structed on adequate foundations.
 The Verde water propect should be carried through, likewise the Boards ley project on the Agua k'ria. This done. at least 1o0,000 acres of desert land would be brought into produc- tion, greatly increasing the wealth of tho valley and the population of your city.
 Phoenix will grow rapidly. Every circumstance is in favor of that. Moth ing but lack of courage and narrow vision on the part of her citizenship. will retard this growth. Furthermore. Phoenix can be a beautiful city. Ii is well laid out. And in this day a beautiful city means a useful and ef- ficient city.
 MT. Parker pointed out to me a big suuare near the federal building and remarked that the city once owned that property. If financial distress necessitated it's sale, that was unfor- tunate; if it was sold because of short vision. that was inexcusable. But ] there it lies. unused and, l understand 1 for sale at a fair price If I individ { ually owned the city one of the first things I would do would he to pur- ! chase that block and transform it into i a municipal park. Then employ War 1 ren Manning or Mir. Nolen of Boston { experts in city planning, to make q ! survey and plan that would cover the City's needs for the next 50 years. Plan l ahead-plan ahead. What a wonderful | opportunity you have here.
 The new hospital now being con- 1 structed is a credit. Your high school. are admirable. Your community spiri ! is fine. You seem to have a live chamber of commerce. Now get q through line railroad. a line to tho Gulf of California, and a 2e0-roon tourist hotel with a real Country club and Phoenix will be on the map. In dustries, prosperity and more pleasan working and living conditions vii rapidly follow.
 ''It is superflUous to say anything about your winter climate. It is ar asset beyond estimation. Make tn, most of it. Here can be built a second Pasadena. If I could offer any slogan to Phoenix it would be this:
 "'Plan for the future and if it wer, adopted, the next word would be, ID, it now"

he was sold as a slave to the Ulster chief Milcho. from which he escaped 10 his native land six years later. As a pious Christian he had heard the plaintive cry of the pagan Irish for spiritual food, and accordingly he be- gan his preparations for his great mis- sion 10 follow in later years.
 He spent some time at St. Martins of Tours, France. at St. Germanus of Aux erre. Lernes and Rome. In the latter city he was commissioned by Pope Celestine to carry the gospel to Ireland where he landed in the year 432. at Slaue, in sight Of Tara, where the Irish tribes were celebrating the great pagan festival. He lighted his camp fire when it Was death to the offender to kindle fire while the sacred fires were burning at Tara. The natives remon- strated to his act, resulted afterward in their conversion and that of the whole island during the life time of the saint. He died at Saul Downpatrick. March r. 493, at the age of 106 years.
 Thus We may say that this is the only instance in history where a nation was converted to Christianity by and in the lifetime of one man. The faith i'm planted by Patrick was accepted with such zeal that during the succeeding centuries up to the tenth. we find the Irish missionaries carrying the torch of faith and learning to all of western Europe. Ireland thereby gained the sobriquet "the land Of saints and schol ars."
 Ireland Always Prominent
 So prominent did Ireland become during those centuries following. that she was looked upon as the font of cul ture and learning to where the elite 1 or Europe Hooked that they might drink of her wisdom. Prominent among the scholars and missionaries who went out from her shores were St. Columba tknown as Columcille) who founded a monastery on the desert isle of Iona off the shore of Scotland, as well as many ! in other parts of Europe. St. Gall la 1 bored in Switzerland, St. Fridolem along the Rhine. St. Fiscre near Meaux i Tn France. St. Kilian at Wurzburg. St | fursey on the Marne. St. Cataldus in ! southern Italy and not least among them was St. Consall who labored in Belgium. over the ancient see where | the great Cardinal Mercier now ore sides.
 Later when Charlemagne reigne in
 France, 1l-Sl4, Irishmen of learnis, were m attendance at his court. Ire lands sons to the present day have never lost their high place in the l world Of arts and sciences.
