The first night he was in camp, Wal ter went off little distance just about dusk and howled. The old-timers in camp shivered, drew together appre- hensively, and whispered that a coy ote was around. Gradually Walter drew nearer, bowling frequently. All the men climbed up on one of the wagons. The tenderfoot suggested that they build rope fence around the wagon. Then Walter came up a lot nearer, and emitted dreadful howl. At this, the old-timers ran in all directions to get away, the tender foot with them.
 They ran the tenderfoot for a mile before they stopped. He was bare footed and had picked up few mill lion sand-burrs, which were particu- larly thick and vicious right there.
 After that, no amount of hoaxing could budge him an inch. He prefer red taking any danger that might come to letting them get the laugh on him again.

SEE ARIZONA FIRST
 TT OFFERS MOST AND BEST

We are glad, as the vacation sea son approaches, to note the movement of See Arizona First There is nc other subdivision so worth seeing There is no other which presents such grandeur of scenery; no other which offers such variety of delightful eli mate; no other where camping may 'be so thoroughly enjoyed, and no oth- CT with so many by-paths which have not been beaten down by travellers. If | it is real recreation one wants, new life, restored nerves and hardened yet pliant muscles, Arizona is the place. But if it is the milling, vulgar crowd to gape at and swelter in, where one can display fnery or raiment with the hope of being gaped at in return, there are better places than Arizona for such vacation.
 There may be some sense in going to the sea shore in the summer time if one is financially fixed for that sort of thing; if he can even there pur- chase some privacy and comfort. But there is certainly no sense in joining the crowding, sweaty thousands who are drawn together at such places.
 There is also the money side of the Arizona vacation. Enough money is taken out of this state every summer and dissipated along the coast and the east to endow a principality. Not a dollar of it finds it's way back. Very much less money would be spent in an Arizona vacation. The little spent would remain in the state; but the most of it would remain in the pocket of the returning vacationist, whose situation would be much pleasanter than. of having to skimp for some months to pay off the note or get out of hook his household goods which he pledged for brief splurge by him. self and family on the coast.
 "Get out this summer and see the Grand Canyon again if you have seen it before; see the glory of the San Franciscos, the Painted Desert, the strange people of the north, the Pet rfied Forest, the greatest unbroken forest in America, the White mount aims, where sensible people from the east have leal ned to come to play.

FOREST PRODUCTS
 LABORATORY HAS ME-
 CHANICAL BEHEMOTH

A gigantic machine, with jaws which open to take in timber of as- sembled wood structures 30 feet in height and which can crush them like egg shells when the jaws close .togeth- CT again, has recently been erected at the forest products laboratory of the United States department of agricul- ture at Madison, Wis.
 This machine is to be used for test ing very large wooden columns. It is possible to exert force of million pounds with it, and it is built to crush a wooden post foot square. Its great range of testing speeds enables it to apply its tremendous load with the fa- tiguing slowness of building settling on it's foundation timbers or with the speed of train dashing onto wood en trestle. Architects and engineers have very little data of the kind which this machine will supply to the scien- lists at the laboratory.
