 In calling the attention of Phoenic- ians to the good that may be done at this season of the year by properly constructed swatter in the hands of healthy adult, officials of the chamber of commerce are attempting to help the good work along in a most prac- ticable manner From all over the United States it is reported that the fly evil is decreasing, and while great credit is given to campaigns of pre- vention. the old reliable fly y-swatter is given its share of praise, with the au- tomobile also making bid for favor
 But while almost all the states of the union are reporting a decrease in the number of flies. Arizona Is proving an exception, according to Greater New York" the publication of the Merchants Association of New York. The bulletin carries the report of Don c.

THE DESERT

When you say the word desert most people think of a place like the great Sahara desert of Egypt. But desert to an Arizonian means little other than a few mesquite trees and greasewood with a few cactuses and a little sage brush in between.
 A sunset on a desert is as beautiful as anywhere and at sunrise one may see a mirage in any direction. First when We greet the morning sun we seem dazzled with its brightness. We semi consciously turn out gaze to the west. What do we see? We see houses five and six stories high that look to be about ten feet by twelve al the base, gradually coming to an in- distinct ending. These houses seem to rise from the earth in the midst of sand and greasewood. As the sun rises higher the taller houses seem to fade in the middle, leaving part of the house in the air and a normal sized house on the ground. This gradually sinks again into the land from whence II came.
 Today we will go to see if there Is really any house in the direction we saw the house this morning. We travel some five or six miles west and then little to the south and we find a small town as it bursts from the desert among mesquite. catclaw and palo verde trees with sage brush and greasewood in betwern.i This is the pumping plant and houses a the town of Marinette.
 As we journey back to our desert home we will try describing some of the vegetation of the desert. We have

A DANGEROUS VENTURE

Slowly we wound down Jacobs Ladder at sunset. The Grand Canyon was a spot of unexcelled beauty as the sun faded But beautiful as the pur- pies and golds were, they failed to thill dertake a trip known to all for it's danger. When we reached the foot of the canyon, the roar of the angry Colo rado made us realize what a perilous Journey we were about to begin. We were to cross the canyon in a ship" or basket large enough to carry several people.
 Morning saw us ready for the cross ing, and two men, the burro (which the guide refused to leave behind) and climbed into the basket. It fell to me to sit on the donkey's back, as there was standing room for only two. All went well until we reached the center. when Bright Anger (for such was the donkey's name) began to kick and jump as the roar of the river fright ened him. I was nearly paralyzed with fright as I looked into the depths below me and I began to appreciate the world more than I had the night before. Slowly the ship" approached land the burro began to recover from its terror. Finally we reached solid ground.
 few days later as I gazed at the river from the rim of the canyon, l heard some bystander remark, T thought it was a big river" as the Colorado looks small from the rim. l wished they could have crossed it as 1 did, they would have thought it quite ,big enough.

before us. behind us, at both sides of us, greasewood. It seems as thought we night be in a farmers field in some grain crops, the greasewood is so thick. It grows to a height of about five to fifteen feet and develops in sprangling punches with about ten to twenty separate branches coming from the main root, which, when we ex- anime. lies under ground slightly and is generally covered with dirt worked up from the earth by the animals that inhabit the holes that we see in the ground among and about the roots. .
 We next come to a cactus of about four feet in height. Its thorns are curled Q the ends forming a mat upon the surface of the cactus. This is called a fish hook or niggerhead cac-
 tus.
 Next is a large giant tree. that stands as lone sentinel in the desert, guarding a mysterious dungeon, which
 is formed of catclaw. greasewood and
 haw bushes which form pen in
 which there is nothing, and nothing can get in except the birds and rab-
 bits of the desert. This tree has
 short hooked thorns like those of the csttclaw bush. It has short green leaves like that of a mesquite only smaller. Its foliage is green the year round like that of the palo verde and
 it has, when it blooms. which is only once every three or four years. a blos- som that is craved by the honey bee and which is about small a the bloom of a paIo verde. only more scat ltered and not so brilliant. Its wood when polished makes a very pretty ornament.
 It was rightfully named ironwood for when dried it will dull an ax more

THE YOUNG WRITERS CLUB OF ARIZONA

As the scenery soon got tiresome the girls fell asleep. I had the pleasure of alone seeing the scenery which was nothing but rocks and dirt.
 Up and down hills through valleys and over no road at all part of the time, we reached the Black Canyon road which we had heard had so much fine scenery in the valley below. There might have been fine scenery to a per son who had never seen much of rough and ragged country, but to one who had lived in the rocks of AizoDa for three or four years it was not SO Startink down the canyon there seemed to be no bottom. Every time l thought that I was on the bottom there was another down grade.
 I was wondering if I was going to reach Phoenix on the tires, with which was shod, Gas I had been driving over nothing but rocks ever since had left the town of Cordes).
 When we finally got to the bottom of the valley the dust was up our neclSs. When at o'clock we got on the pave ment of Phoenix we certainly appre- ciated the smoothness for the Ford is the toughest car in the country for such a trip. If eyer I take that trip again I want a big car or one that is equipped with cushions.

THE PROSPERITY OF ARIZONA

Arizona, although widely known for it's many deserts and barren wastes, is a state of great wealth. It's min ing resources are unlimited. It's mines produce more copper than any other part of the world, beside furnishing much gold and othe metals There is also much timber in the north which as yet has hardly been touched. Fur thermore, agriculture IS rapidly becom- ing of vast importance as irrigation IS made possible by huge reservoirs.
 This wealth is not under the control of a few persons, as that of the east but it is widely diffused among all the people. There is not the eXcep- tiona1ly rich aristocracy, nor the ex- tremely poor class here that is found in almost all the rest of the country Every ambitious person has an equal chance to succeed in this mans land. It is the state of opportunity.

A BIT OF ADVICE

There is no use grieving even if you are hurt nor is there any use fretting Some people are always grieving when they have nothing to grieve about That makes them and those around them miserable.
 The best way when any little dis agreeable thing happens is just to for get it. Then it will soon die down. There is no trouble worth a frown or tear If a person wants to have pleas ure it is here for him. No matter which comes, gladness or distress, all ways be on the happy side of it.

THE LIFE OF A COWBOY

The cowboy leads lone and dreary life. He roams the lonesome prairie, with no companion 10 cheer him, and nothing to see but the wide open desert with it's sagebrush and mesquite to hide the den of the coyote, and the home of the prairiedog. When night comes the cowboy sleeps on his saddle blanket with his saddle for a pillow and dreams of the sweet by and by When he awakes in the morning he cooks his coffee in a small tomato can and fries his bacon on the hot coals. The cowboy knows nothing of city life and all its society. All he thinks of is his future when he will be set tied down in a little western home with all its beauties.

FROM CLARKDALE TO PHOENIX
 EnPn

My two sisters and I left Clarkdale in the early morning of September 1. It had been that it would take all of one day to make the trip providing that one did not encounter any bad luck! We started out with the aim to see Phoenix before dark.
 The road led us over a long hill which was about three miles to the summit. As it was in good shape, we were at the top before the sun had risen. Starting down the other side of the mountain toward Mayer, not pass ing a soul, we were happy to think that we were the first up and over the road.
