Dear NJ. B. Readers;
asked myself, what shall give TO
the column this week that is espeei-
ally appropriate to the sunny, bios
soming season of the year? And the
first answer which came to me was
Sunshine and Roses for gradu-
ations are near.
Quite likely II is the little volume
with that title. Sunshine and
Roses" which contains so many
hopeful and CHEEKY verses and quota
tions,that brought the thought to me
so promptly. and on every page of the
book there are faint tracings of roses
in delicate shade of pink. So here
is my first quotation:
The sun is bright. the air is clear,
The darting swallows soar and sing.
And from the stately elms / hear
The bluebtrd prophesying spring.
So blue yon winding river flows.
II seems an outlet from the sky,
Where. waiting till the west Wild
blows.
The freighted clouds at anchor lie.
All things are new; the birds. the
leaves
That gid the elm trees nodding
crest,
And even the nest beneath the caves i;
There are no birds in last years nest
All things rejoice in youth and love.
The fullness OF their nrst delight
And learn from the soft heavens above
The melting tenderness Of night.
Maiden that readst this simple rhyme,
Enjoy thy youth. II will not stay:
Enjoy the fragrance OF thy prime,
For o. II is not always May,
Enjoy the spring OF love and youth,
To some good angel leave the rest,
For time will teach thee soon the truth.
There are no birds in last years nest

OLD KRIS KRINCLE PAYS ANNUAL VISIT
 TO PHOENIX FOLK

Old Kris Kringle, with prancing rein deers and a sleigh weighed down with toys and candies and fruits. paid his annual visit to Phoenix last night while the city slumbered. And when the kiddies awoke this morning they looked out upon treasures such as only Santa can bring.
 Santa's stay here was brief, as it must always be that he can visit all the little hoys and girls throughout the land. But in his fleeting moment he had poured out sacks of joy and happi- ness. There was a drum for Billy, a doll for Nellie, and even mamma and daddy had been remembered. It was a big night for Santa. as it always is. but bigger this year, it seems, than for years, for no one was overlooked. Poor or rich, they all shared the joys of Santa's big pack.
 Today the city is celebrating. Jack is trying out his new roller skates; Susie is playing house with her new dolf house, chairs and dishes, while mother is out trying the new roadster she found out in front when she went out to sweep off the walk this morn ling. Dad can be found lounging about the big open fireplace all "dolled up'' in new slippers and smoking jacket, trying out his new smoking set. But Tor Inc greater pafly GnIlStIIlaS will be a quiet day in Phoenix The feast table. of course is one of the big l features. A big majority will partake of their Christmas dinner at home. but the others will be we'll taken care of st restaurants and dining rooms, where special dinners have been arranged The menus at these public eating places are much the same as those af- forded at the average American home save that a bigger variety is offered. 1 One of the lively events of the day will be the annual scramble" among the newsboys of the city Eacf Christmas morning these little fellows moro than hundred of them, are treated by business and professions
 men, who throw pennies. nicSels, dime. and even quarter and half dollars into
 the crowd, to watch the boys scrambl' for them. This event will start abou 9 o'clock.
 Only one sporting event has been ar
 ranged. A wrestling match between
 Pete Sauer and Charles Gion will b

APPEALS DECISION A|VULL|NG MARRIAGE

Appealing from the decision of the lower court, wherein l.. J. Horton se- cured an annulment of his marriage to her, Mrs. Annie Horton yesterday took the action into the supreme court of the state.
 Judge Lyman granted the husband decree on the ground that the aged man did not know what he was doing when he married his nurse The court held that he was mentally and phys1- cally weak at the time.

After securing a decree, she was alleged to have per suaded Horton to will her his prop I erty and to have suggested the mar riage, which took place in New Mexico shortly after the divorce in this state.

PAVED ROADS MEAN
 LOWER GAS BILLS

The following figures illustrate how paved roads will reduce gasoline bills. This statement supplies powerful argument for the good roads bond is sue which is to be voted Dec. S1.
 The state of Arizona burns every year in it's motor vehicles, 12,00O,,0O0 gallons of gasoline. The average price paid is B 1-3 cents per gallon, or total of $4,O00,000.
 In December, 1919. 2S,7e7 motor ve- hicles were registered in the state, of which 1121s. or 3S 7-1O per cent, were in Maricopa county.
 Assuming that Maricopa county users consume gasoline in the same proportion as the rest of the state, then we paid for 4644000 gallons at B 1-3 cents, or a total of $1.54S,000 for one year.
 Of all the various gas mile tests made by the various states, automo- bile associations and colleges through out the United States. not one shows less than g per cent saving in gaso- line per mile over well paved roads as compared with unimproved roads. This g per cent saved with good roads in Maricopa county. would mean reduction of $387 600 in our gasoline bin or more than S100 ,o00 in excess of the interest charged on the bonds each year
