It isn't every little 13-year-old girl who can take a trip from New York City, via Phoenix, just because she graduates with honors from the gram mar school, and little Frances Field was very sensible of that fact, ana very proud to be the particular little girl in question. She arrived in Phoe- nix Thursday morning, with her father and mother, and they say she hadn't slept much for week in anticipation of the event.
 But my! what a disappointment was in store for Frances, who had set her heart on seeing the same city in which her daddy had lived and worked when he was not much older than she is now! She was going to see cowboys dash through the main street. shoot ing things up as they went, and she was going to see wild Indians, and perhaps escape from one of their raids in most thrilling way. She was up and dressed long before the train was the window, for she knew she'd recog- nize the little 'dobe houses and the waste desert land which surrounded them. Yes. it was certainly a dis appointed and disgruntled Frances who entered the Adams hotel bus at the station and followed the uniformed bell-boy into the elevator and up tt their rooms. All the romance wal taken out of the trip so far as sht was concerned.

Farmer Browns Boy rapped on the tree with the handle of his axe, but no one ran out.
 T guess he's playing dead said Farmer Browns Boy, and began to split open the tree so as to get into the hollow. And as he chopped he be- gan to sing again. Pretty soon he had split the tree wide open. In the bottom of the hollow was an old nest of Chatterer the Red Squirrel and that was all. Farmer Browns Boy rubbed his eyes and stared and stared and stared. There were Unc' Billy's tracks leading straight up to that tree and none leading away. Did that possum have wings?

Expectant Miss Is Disappointed
 When Indians Fail to Wreck Town

wealthy grain exporter Of New ork City was overjoyed with what ne saw.
 You would never know 1t to De the same plaoe-not only the town ltsei' but the surrounding country. Wny' when worked ol the corner or Nasn- .ngton and Center 90 years ago there were only about eight blocks in all the place. Just little 'dobe houses, too, and every other one saloon. Now you have a real city here, and the farm lands around it are beautiful. The change is wonderful-marvelous- I wouldn't have missed that ride took yesterday, out through the orange groves and along the canals. for good deal. And I can see that if stay away for a few years more, and re- turn, your city will have grown so much more that it will be just as diff cult for me to recognize it. The people of Phoenix are very fortunate, and should feel proud and happy over their achievement.
 But Frances doesn't figure that way at all. She thinks 1t would have been much better to leave the 'dobe houses and the cowboys, and let the Indians run wild through the town. And she didn't mind letting people know it, either.

Salvation Army site on North Second street, midway between Monroe and Van Buren streets, was the result. Through the construction of these bar racks, it was believed that the relief work could be broadened to include all deserving unemployed men. Women and children are provided for from a stock of foodstuffs held in store by the Salvation Army. Work of feeding and housing unemployed men, however, was not provided for when the annual budget was drawn nearly a year ago. So the work had to be carried on in an entirely different way. But there was a will behind the desire to ad- minister to humanity and the will found a way.
 Yesterday, more than 15O unem- ployed men found clean, wholesome, fife sustaining food awaiting them at the Salvation Army temporary relief barracks on North Second street. Many

of these same men found clean places to sleep last night.
 The temporary relief barracks, erect ed by the Herbert J. Mann Construc- ton company in record breaking time. were provided especially to meet the existing emergency. Funds for the building materials were paid out of the Salvation Army building fund. the construction company donating the work.
 That there will be no end to the re- lief work. the Salvation Army has made provisions whereby each man served can do a little work to help pay
 for his food and his lodging. By this
 means, the Salvation Army hopes to secure enough money to carry on its relief work as long as need exists. The soup line" is growing daily, ii was announced yesterday, and plans are under way to care for at least 25t hungry men by the first of next week

 Can you imagine my feelings? Prob ably not. Here I was young girl re- porter, far from home, with only a small part of my expense money left and no nearer the kaiser than ever. My first impulse was to wire the magazine editor asking if an interview with the chief of police or the president of the board of aldermen on the crime wave or the Scent fare wouldn't do just as well. I knew every community had such issues before it.
 Finally I decided to hunt the kaiser or die in the attempt or both. I ap- preached the forest. A great wire fence surrounded it. The crown prince must be inside, too, thought I, else why this employment of the netting usually uset | to. keep out chickens?

Care of the hungry and homeless is part of the daily Salvation Army routine. It is one of many virtues practiced by this organization, not only here but generally throughout the country. But the true value of the Salvation Army to a community has never been more clearly demonstrated than in Phoenix recently. Conditions have not been the best here this win ter Work has been scarce and, not withstanding gradual declines in food prices, there has been much actual suf- iering from hunger.
 The Salvation Army, with its regu- lar facilities, found that it could not possibly carry on tis relief work to the extent that it felt itself burdened- burdened by duty to humanity. So local officials made plans to extend the scope of their activities.
