SUMMER ENOAMPMENT OF THE
BOY SCOUTS,

Troop 81, Boy Scouts of America,
advises that it is the desire of the
officers and members OF the troop
to return to Covington the ensuing
summer for encampment, claiming
that the last encampment Is one that
they will never forget.
The matter Of soliciting the es-
Enlistment of camp for the sum-
mer will be brought to the attention
of the Town Council and Association
Of Commerce, with the suggestion
that suitable site and a hearty well
come be assured the boys and their
officers. The ladies will also be ask
ed to interest themselves In their
entertainment. The Board of Health
has already taken eognizance OF the
matter, and will probably advise
against the Sulphur Spring site, since
it Is no wknown that the spring
water Is below standard, unless
purer supply can be provided. The
spring water, like that of all Of our
deep water supply, is Of great purity,
but is polluted by underground seep-
age from nearby drainage bitches.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

About two weeks ago a country
man walked into the Covington Bank
& Trust Co. and presented cheek
for $1,000 to be cashed. The official
who waited on him suggested tina!
it would be safer If he would deposit
the amount and draw it out as used
but the man insisted that he wantel
the cash. A few days ago the same
man was in the bank and told the
official that his house had been
robbed and al of 1.-The money stolen.
When we have sound and conserva-
tive banks in our community there
is no reason why anyone should risk
their money by boarding 1t. For
every dollar lost by bank failures
there are thousands lost because 1t
is not in the banks.

 The road from Phoenix to the west and the coast crosses the Agua Fria between Phoenix and Buckeye, and to get to Prescott the same road is fol- lowed for a distance. With the Aeua F'ria in flood and the highway bridge useless, traffic, both coming and going is at a standstill
 Farther west along the road to the coast the Hassayampa river is also flooded, but it is expected to go down before the Agua F'ria Motorists en route for Phoenix from the coast are now halted beyond the Hassayampa and even after they are able to cross that stream by towing they will be stopped again beyond the Agua F'ria. At the same time, all outgoing traffic is forced to wait in Phoenix, and com munlcations cannot be resumed until the Agua Fria subsidies sufficiently to enable passage by towing. Before this happens, however. the entire bottom of the stream will have to be tested in the last flood.

 Many Coming fer Meet
 Fully 50 Fl Paso fans are coming to attend the Tr- State program, Mess ner announced last evening. Cities of southern New Mexico, he said, would be represented by fully 100 fans. while southern Arizona points. such as Bis be-, Douglas and Tucson, would send a goodly representation. Railroads have made arrangements for putting on extra cars to handle the crowd, he said.
 But race interest at those Arizona, New Mexico and Texas points is no greater than that evidenced in the Salt river valley. All sportdom is agog with race talk and arguments as to which is the better car or driver can be heard on almost any old corner in Phoenix at almost any old hour.
 Two close friends. for example, whose ideas are far from synonomous as to the winner of the 50-mile free for-all argued so heatedly on one of the busy streets of the downtown sec ton yesterday afternoon that an of ficer interfered, believing that the men were about to give vent to their feel ings. When the officer suddenly in- truded however, the men both laughed at their folly and proceeded on their way.
 Much Friendly Rivalry
 Probably in no race ever held in the Salt river valley has Q greater amount of friendly rivalry existed between the different entrants, each one bent on snatching victory in the feature event of the program.
 There's only one way in the world that I'm going to be able to convince that my car is faster than his and that my driver is the best in the val ley, and that is to give him good sound trouncing next Sunday, de- clared one of the entrants yesterday. His old rattle trap wouldn really cause a snail to work up sweat, but you just can't tell him anything. He thinks he's got the fastest thing on wheels. I just hope the old junk pile doesn't fall to pieces while we're wait ing for the starting gun, just so we can show him a few things about, real speed
 Tickets Now on Sale
 And so the different entrants feel that this is to be- an opportunity to convince their rivals as to the sound ness of their judgment. With such rivalry existing on all sides. motor fans can rest assured that they will see a speedway event that for thrills and ex citement will be second to none
 Tickets for the races are now on sale at the Adams hotel cigar stand. Another downtown ticket office will be opened at the Central Pharmacy Fri lay, where seats will be on sale Fri day and Saturday afternoons.

But when I hit New Mex ico and automobile men of every city began to ask my opinion as to which car would win, I supposed of course they had reference to the Los Angeles speedway events.
