Spring comes dancing, laughing, trip
 ping
 Leaving footprints everywhere. Der the windblown desert skipping Trailing gorgeous garments there. Down the road the blackbirds chatter, Orange blossoms scent the air, Blooming trees their petals scatter Ger a landscape passing fair. In the fields Springs harps are thrum-
 ming
 DuIcet tunes to Mother Earth, While the busy tractors humming Heralding the lands new birth. All earth'S creatures join the singing Of the Hitting chorus gay, And the red ant grins while stinging In the same old reckless way.
 Mary Elizabeth Calder.
 SPRING The earth has had her beauty sleep, For months quiet rest; And now she calls on Natures God, To make her look her best. She dots the hills with wild flowers, In colors bright and gay: She makes the orchard blossom, In a most bewitching way. She begs of every tiny seed. To burst it's little cell. And bring a message full of hope, To all on earth who dwell She calls the birds to welcome. These happy vernal days; And sing their very sweetest songs, To drive our cares away. She brings to all fresh courage. And homo she thrills And says to every living thing, Our God is living still"

SPRING

Let all the universe rejoice, With songs of praise from heart and
 voice, For when the vernal days appear lis proof that God is very near. From over hill and vale and dell, A million seeds awake to tell, That dofmant now for months they've
 lain, Their time has not been spent in vain. For unto them new life is given To make this world look more like
 heaven. Till earth is robed in gorgeous color With the aid of Nature, her faithful
 lover. New hope they bring to all mankind, Fen the birds make this their nesting
 time. They sing till all the earth doth ring With the blessed message that they
 bring. Then let our hearts each day rejoice That Spring to us has been so choiSe, To give new life new hope, new cheer To aid us thru another year.

HELP eREAk rHE DEADLOCK

The Cancels Back presents today it's third annual Spring Poetry number
 As some of our more or less constant readers know, We acquire this number by running contest in which any AriZonian may enter her composition. committee ~ supposedly competent judges is appointed to pass upon the entries and pick the winner. An award of one dollar, less the usual war tax, is handed the author of the winning poem.
 In the many years that this great feature has been run, the Camers Back has experienced no difficulty from deadlock of the judges. This year, however, the board of critics could come to no satisfactory agreement as to THE winning poem. After days of useless debating and arguing which at times assumed the proportions of a family row, the editor of the Cancels Back intervened. We have asked the judges to select a handful of the best poems and We would take care of the final derail.
 We present here the selections of the judges with the request that our reader please send us his vote on the best poem according to his tastes. In your letter please try to tell why you picked the poem you did. If you are relative of the author of the poem you think ought to get the dollar, it might he well to keep that fact se- cret If you feel that you simply must tell us of the relationship, then please state how much the proposed winner owes you.
 In our next issue we will give a tabulation of the votes. Send your let ter to the editor of the Camers Back.

The Rural School

In the legislative session just closed greater pro- gress made in education reform than in the state legislative sessions which have gone before. The benefits will be derived chiefly by the rural schools. The city schools of Arizona are getting along very well under anticipated system and doubt in this advanced age would have good schools if all school legislation repealed except the laws for creating school funds.
 The reform has. therefore, been proposed for the advantage the schools and thence the benefit spreads the country for the rural life is the backbone and basis of the public fife In the rural life is the well spring of democracy education is the very life-blood democracy. The standard of rural schools is generally lower than that main taned in the cities. Education in the country is estimated SIS per child as aginst s5s for the city child in the country large though much more than that in Arizona.
 Good schools are just essential for the farm laborer and his family farmer himself and if the farm help know that they have the advantages of proper educational advantages for labor situation.
 The rural school has brod field of usefulness in the building up the social as well as the educa honal life the community
 The importance dignity of farming as should emphasized the school work. However the country school should offer educational advan- tages equal to those of the city, confning the entire curriculum to rural subjects
 The elevation farm life to the high standard that it deserves will when the standard of education offered the farm boy or girl shall have reached that point where it equal that offered anywhere.

SPRING

TO Arizona, sunny land, Comes blithesome, stepping Spring, She waves her wand and magic'ly The larks begin to sing She lightly touches the warm brown
 loam, And the green grass loosed from its
 sheath, Thrusts upward its tender blades As fine as a fairy's wreath. She sprays perfume on the warming
 breeze, Which lazily stirs the flowers, Then trips her way to drowsy June
 days As the sundial marks the hours.

On the front teeth of our 15-months old boy there is a dark discoloration at the gums. Is this decay a tartar formation. or what? I clean his mouth daily with a boric acid solution.
 Take him to dentist without delay, since it is important that the baby teeth should have careful attention. This will be readily seen from the fol- lowing possible results of their neglect:
 1-If the temporary teeth are lost. when the permanent set come in they may be crooked and irregular
 2.-Decay of temporary teeth may extend to permanent teeth.
 3.-Absorption of pus and germs from diseased gums and bad teeth may cause illness.
 4.-Toothache.
 5.-Poor mastication, with resultant malnutrition.

Sawdust For Food

 The process necessary to the mitigation of the waste wood is known hydroizaton. As perfected through experiments at the University of Wisconsin 25 per cent of the dry weight of the wood is con verted into sugar and of the wood fiber or ceulose Is changed considerably in physical charac- ter and solubty.
 Three used experiment In the first and third periods the were given an excel lent ration consisting of alfalfa hay corn silage and concentrate mixture of 55 parts of ground barley, 30 parts wheat bran and 15 parts of Hnseed meal
 In the second feeding period the hydrolized or treated sawdust was substituted for part of the barley in the mixture. Two pounds of sawdust were used in place of one of barley. The grain mixture then consisted 30 parts of sawdust, 40 parts of ground barley, 30 pounds wheat bran and Is parts of linseed meal
 The kept up their production during this period and maintained their weight better than on ration which contained silage and grains exclusively.

lis not in success alone
That achievements worth is known.
If we had no friends to cheer us
And no one at home TO care;
If mans glory as a fighter
Did not make a few eyes brighter
he would cease to try for conquest
And would never do or dare.
Back OF every man you'll find
Loving hearts who stay behind,
Watching, waiting, patient, loyal
AS he strives to meet the test,
And the thought which drives him

Is that they shall meet him gayly,
And shall glory in his triumph
On the day he does his best.

TRIUMPH.


When all is said and done
And the battles lost or won,
It's the laughter Of the children
And the mothers gentle smile,
It's the pride Of those you know,
Good old friends who love you so.
That make the prize worth having
And the victory worth while.
Back Of every golden dream,
Every engine kissing steam.
Back Of every hammer falling
And of every deed men dare;
Back Of every tilt and fight
Is the coming home at night
To the loved ones who are waiting
In the victory to share.

poetry to the birds and sardines
that inhabit Barron Lake. This one
seemed to have a special appeal to
a couple of the birds who are still
hanging around:
Let us wander TO the fields today
To the woods where the chicka-
dee sings;
To some quiet retreat where I'll sit
at your feet
And tell you of wonderful things.
1 will tell Of a castle among the hills
That a vagabond built one day,
AS he dreamed in the shade of a for
est glade.
And idled the hours away.
I will tell Of a beautiful fairy who
came
And with just one wave of her
hand
Made the dream come true: for the
fairy was you,
And 1 was the vagabond.
So, comet Let us sing all the songs
that we know
And dance to the Pipes of Pan
And 1 Will be true the whole day
thru.
What more could you ask Of man?
