Coming Next Week

On Thursday next, as the pulpite CTS are fond of leading off, the Camel's Back will celebrate its first birthday.
 You may gather that remark .ha. precisely one year ago our faithful camel packed his first cargo of journal istic cannibalism across the desert. Now a birthday calls for a fitting function of some sort, and the management of this fearful weekly has been casting about for some ideas.
 Two Good Reasons
 Various suggestions have come to us. We have considered. staging q species of "open house" somewhere in town where we could receive our friends and enemies. But an 'open house'-if such functions as have been staged by some of our leading merchants are any criterion-calls for our donning a dress suit, wreathing our countenance in a smile and, in short, playing the part of patron saint.
 This, we refuse to do. for two good reasons. Primus: the last we saw of our dress suit was in a hook shop in a midwest college town. Secondus: before we could smile again. some radical changes would have to be eff fected.
 Dance? Card party? Picnic2 Beach party? Nope, none of these. What then? Well, what's the matter with sieighing party? Fine. Fine!
 On Thursday next. then, the man agement to the Camers Back, in fit ting commemoration of it's first birth day, extends to his friends and enemies creditors and debtors, and his reader, q cordial invitation to join with him in sleighing party around the valley. We are advised that Dan K1einman, down Mesa way, has generously of fered us the free use of his roomy bob sled pulled by six horses. Bobby Gill bert who homesteaded the Gilbert townsite, will handle the ribbons. Bro. Hammels, of Buckeye, has promised to fcrnish hay enough to cover the flocr of the sled foot deep.
 Skating, Too
 The party will leave Phoenix promptly at o'clock Thursday after noon. The w. k. Donofrio will be on hand to serve hot chocolate at the halfway station Come early and bring your skates; if ice is any good we'll pull off a hockey game at Granite Reef.
 If our reader has any further sug- gestions to offer toward making this the biggest piece of razzle dazzle ever attempted, please feel free to write to us about it immediately.
 As time goes on we realize that it will be impossible to put off the Spring Poetry edition much longer

PAY OR PENSION

Some thousands and grown old and hopeless in government service in Washington be dropped from the payroll. This will make possible pay better wages to younger and more efficient workers
 But what of the be dropped?
 Anyone who is familiar with government offices can picture them. Aged and women-narrow in outlook life because of their long seclusion- e-faithful-poddng away for years at given and small salaries-watching department head go with the fluctuations in politics unorganized- to obtain hearng-unfitted for other work-these are the men and women who give to young blood. Most of them saved little nothingS because government wages have been proverbally poor. Most of them unable to take up tasks, because government often stiles ambition and kills initiative.
 And it is proposed to pension themto provide a .nasture" for them as kind hearted people do for worn -out horses There is doubt they need help many of them. For government didn't pay them any too we'll Indeed the average employe gets barely enough to live That is why he usually comes to old age and want at the same moment Therefore the need for pension.

MT Lean, impersonating happy American sea novelist, arrives in the play, so to speak, at the nick of time. An amorous Italian has just remarked that his brain is on fire, and Mir.

A few minutes later Miss Mayfield, his handsome helpmeet, crosses her bare knees, in the way Parisienne-and Look Who's Here" begins to assume it's Continental aspect.
 Miss Mayfield, a generous lady of comedy endowments, has a new style of comedy Through her pretty nose she makes noises and it is amusing to wonder whether they are snarls, whines, gasps, walls. or moans.

Cost Of Wheat Production

Brookings, S. D.-A summary of the
cost of producing wheat in 1919 on
farms in South Dakota, North Dakota,
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Min
nesota have recently been prepar-
ed from figures from the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
the results are well worth a careful
study by the farmers. The following
conclusions are drawn from these fig
ures by NJ. r. Benedict, farm manage
ment expert in the extension division
at State College.
For the entire 481 farms the cost
varied from 81 per bushel up to more
than SIS per bushel with the average
cost at $2.15. Seventy five per cent.
of the farms had costs ranging be-
tween $1.4O and $3.50. The cost was
considerably lower in the winter wheat
belt. Two hundred eighty-four farms
growing winter wheat had an average
cost of S1.s7 per bushel, 70 per cent.
of them having costs that ranged be-
tween S1.4O and $3.50 per bushel.
