THIS IS ballad Of Up-in-the Air,
A song Of the NC-Twenfy
And it has no frills, but if yOu want thrills
Il has them good and plenty
P IN the an and far away
The NC-Tweniy went king
TIL # sighted the planet Mars one day
And lost no time in aIightng.
IT found planet al full Of pep
With the arts and commerce humminz.
With buildings grand on every hand,
Each with planetary plumbing.
EVERYTHING there was up N the air
The prices were pulled up plenty.
The cost Of living brought many a stare
From the crew Of the NC-TweaEy.
PUT nothing is new beansath the sun,
And they heard Mar-maid declare:
I'D ike to go to the party, hon,
But ! haven't thing to Wearl"

Opposing The Road Race

LIERE and there little opposition has been voiced in

road race in connection with Arizona state fair

the state highways VIII do thousands Of dollars worth Of
damage TO the roads and that the taxpayers VIII have 20
stand the repair bill It Is also declared that the place
for road is specially prepared tracks and not on
unpaved roads and the state engineer is urged to avail him
self Of whatever statutes may be invoked to prevent the
race from being
of great to FL Paso whether not the
race is run but the sentiment expressed here has been
that If New Mexico and Arizona people would Ike such
race FL Paso is willing enough to start it off from this
end Anything to promote neighborlness and add another
attraction the Arizona fair has been e Pasos idea
But really the racing ought not to damage Ar
zonas roads High speed probably would damage the cars
and their occupants than the roads Really, racing
speed can be made only paved smooth unpaved
tons Motor trucks would damage the highways than
racing cars and barring Of motor trucks from the roads
has not yet been suggested
Arizonas election law might be utilized to provide Tor
referendum on whether not this road should be

In the 1914 road race at Elgin,
De Alene blew a tire just before

skidded and lurched crafty along the
narrow road, but through an exercise
of superhuman skill, coupled with
marvellous luck, De Alene managed
to prevent 1t from crashing into the
