About the most pointless thing in all
the world is the advice that is offer
ed to young married people II Is
pointless and foolish for a number OF
reasons. In the first place every young
married couple firmly believes that
their own case is the one case In which
their little ship of matrimony can
not wreck itself. Perhaps every young
couple does not feel quite so strongly
but at least nine out OF every ten. So
they are not going TO follow your ad-
vice because they think II doesn't ap-
ply and they don't need II.
When you do occasionally run a
cross young couple who may have
learned from observation that TO be
really a success, marriage must be
rather carefully manipulated, probably
the advice you give them will be far
off the point for very seldom do you
ever find two cases alike. II depends
upon each one to make their marriage
measure up to their expectations and
they cannot get help from others for
no one else has had TO deal with ex-
actly the same situation, the same com
bination OF natures and consequently
the same difficulties.
The best thing to do in the case OF
your young married friends is to keep
your advice to yourself Then II things
turn out well let them have all the
credit. They are the ones who deserve
1t anyway And in case things do not
turn out we'll your conscience is clear.
Few people realize how common are
| the DR.. Jekylls and Mr. Hydes in this
world. That case was exceptional only
because 1t was so pronounced. Nearly
all of us have dual nature-two sides
that could be developed not at the
same time but separately. and each
development carrying one over very
different roads. II you study people
you will discover this fact time and
time again. You may see man whose
nature seems very coarse and mater
ial. You feel that beauty OF any kind
would have no appeal to him. Yet
some day you may see him very much
stirred over some wonderful music, q
beautiful painting or II you have many
opportunities to talk to him you may
find he has an appreciation OF the beau
tiful In literature. Possibly this appre-
citation is SO dormant in him he does
not realize it himself, but It is an in
dication that there is that side of his
nature which he could have developed
/ IL he had tried.
| Again you may know someone who
seems as near perfection as we ever
know 1t in this world. But OCCASION
] ally he may surprise you by some word

or deed utterly foreign to his nature.
That is an Indication OF the path he
might have followed had he not de-
veloped the other side OF his nature.
The realization Of these two natures
Is given TO everyone Of US. II We get
too far along on the road It's n long
hard journey TO go back TO the cross
roads and make the start over again
so II is well 10 watch carefully at the
start.

be expended under the dir ection of this department in carrying out these plans. This bill has been referred to the Committee on Appro- priations, and it is hoped will become a law at this session.
 The Cameron bill did not become a law, but if $110,- . 000 was needed for such i'm. provements at the Grand Canyon in 1910 can anyone explain why S8S, ,000 should not be expended for t h e same purpose during the fis- cal year 1922-23? In the meantime there has occurred a tremendous development of the automobile industry, so that thousands may visit the Grand Canyon by that means of conveyance, which was available to but very few 12 years ago.
 It is my desire that the Grand Canyon shall be made accessible at as many points as possible, not only to the citizens of Arizona but to thousands of others from all parts of America. I shall not be content until a l l practicable facilities for tourists, particularly those travelling by automobile, are provided. The greatest convenience is a system of roads entering all parts of the national park and ex- tending for miles along the rim of the canyon. It will take some years to carry out such a development and cost considerable sums of money, but in the aggre- gate the amount will be no greater than has been eX- pended in other national parks.

EXPLORE CLIFF
 DWELLIN GS

Although Sunday dealt out s me rather capricious weather, still there were some courageous souls that dared the great out doors despite the cold and journeyed out to the Canon of the Little Colorado on ex- ploration bent.
 They sought the ancient dwellings of the pigmy cliff dwellers along the rivers canon walls, and there, slightly sheltered from the piercing wind, built a fire, took pictures, and explored to their hearts content the long abandoned homes of the ancient ones.
 In the party were Mir. and Mrs. Baker, Mir. Mclean, Miss Owens, and MT. Mor- row.

WITH THE LITTLE FOLKSI

One afternoon last week the Primary Class of the L. D. s. Church conducted a "clean up" campaign of their own, and in consequence the church yard is in spic and span condition.
 The week before on Mon day these same children met at the home of Grandma Greer, who entranced them with her inimitable first hand stories of pioneer life. They were also regaled with roasted peanuts and home made candy. We are sure that the kiddies enjoyed the story telling and Mrs. Greer's fund of frontier tales is worth preservation.

I have naturally been inter- ested to see that appropri- ations were made for it's de- velopment. The first sum allowed in 1919 was but $40, GOO, which was increas- ed to $60, in 1920, and to S100, in 1921.
 This year the Budget Bureau asked that the ap- propriation be again fixed at $100, 000, but the Com mittee on Appropriations recommended that but $8S- 900, be allowed. and that sum was agreed to by the House. The Senate Con- mittee on Appropriations increased the total to $90,- 500, but the whole appro- priation was stricken from the bill, which is the occa- sion for having this item in conference, and under dis cussion today.
 In a letter dated March 30, 1910, and addressed to Hon. F. w. Mondell, chair man of the Committee on the Public Lands, Hon. James Wilson, then Secre- tary of Agriculture, said:
 The Forest Service has caused to be prepared with great care working plans for a system of roads and trails to render all practic- able parts of the Grand Canyon National Monu- ment accessible to the pub lie. An important feature of these plans is a road which is to follow the south ern edge of the canyon far enough back to preserve the fringe of trees along the rim.
 A bill has been introduce ed in the House by the Hon. Ralph H. Cameron, Delegate from Arizona HI. R. 20819-- to appropriate $110, 1000 to!

THE SAD TALE OF
 A RABBIT HUNT

Our erstwhile friend Geo. Hennessey nearly cleaned up on the editorial department Of the News for detailing to the general public the rather poor luck he experienced a couple of weeks ago in the hunting field. It makes us somewhat chary about in- duIging in those two boons of an enlightened republic, the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press.
 However, since the latest neophytes of Nimrod did kill some rabbits, twenty two we believe was the count, perhaps we will be pardoned for retailing their other troubles.
 Roy Thomas and Will Woods 2nd went out after Sir Cotton Tail last week with very good results as to their bag, but not as to the tires of their car, since we are told that they ruined three. But that wasn't the end of their troubles. Their next stunt was to acquire a short circuit which put their car lights on the bum. Night came on apace, and they wandered darkly over the malapi Hedges and sandy ravines south of therive in partial if not total darkness. At last, at about nine o'clock, they reached St. Jo and on trying to telephone, found everyone asleep. So about an hour later, two tired and hungry, but not disgrurtled, for did they not have the rabbits. young men reached home and bed.

crimination and no delay 1 sincerely trust that the House will instruct it's con- ferees to insist that every dollar that has been appro- priated by the House shall be agreed to by the Senate There is no other way in which this disagreement with the Senate can b C justly settled"
 We have the greatest con- fidence in Mr. Hayden's keen insight into affairs of this nature and his unqualified endorsement of the Grand Canyon Appropriation makes more than ever couious as to just why Cameron should nave seen Tt CO DOCK a Dlll which would benefit a port. ion of his own state. It al so leads us to wonder why he has changed his mind SC radically since 1910.
 We know that Congress man Hayden is promoting with all his might and main everything that will re- douned to the best interests of the people at home. Can as much be said of all those who represent us in Wash ington?

Since Fords are good for cross country, and range riding, we presume that the gentleman expects to invest igate at close hand.

CARL HAYDEN'S VIEW OF THE GRAND CAM
 TON PROJECT

It will be remembered that some weeks ago we
 printed a commentary on Cameron's attitude towards
 the Grand Canyon Appropri-
 ation. The following is an
 excerpt from an address by
 Rep. Carl Hayden;
 "Mr. Hayden:Mr Speaker, Mark Smith once said:
 The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in Ari- zona offers to man the most stupenious wonder on the
 whole surface of the earth for his contemplation and enjoyment. God put l t
 there for people to see.
 The tongue of man can never form words to des- cribe the glories of that mighty gorge. The eye alone can convey an impress sion of it's vastness and it's ever- changing beauties. The Grand Canyon can right fully be called the greatest of the National Parks, and it is the duty of Congress to make it accessible to increa- sing thousands of Americans who are learning to love their country more because they know it better.
 For some unaccountable reason it is proposed that no appropriation be made for the maintenance and inn provement of the Grand Canyon National Park dur ing the next fiscal year. This failure to provide funds will still leave every acre of it a national park because Congress has by law dedi- cated and set apart this area for the benefit and enjoy ment of American people. That law contemplated that Congress would provibe money to build roads an d trails and make other i'm provements in order that the public may have better ac- cess to it's many recreational, scientific, and educational attractions. Since it is a national park, what justifi- cation can there be for dis eliminating against t h e Grand Canyon when much larger sums than $S8,OO0 are carried in this bill to be expended in the improve ment of other national parks? For example, $361,- 300 is here appropriated for the Yellowstone National Park, $280,000 at Yosemite, and SITS, ,0O0 for the Glacier National Park in Montana.
 Having sponsored t h e creation of this national park at the Grand Canyon, 1,

OVERLAND'S DON'T NEED MUCH GASOLINE BUT
 THEY DO TAKE SOME

Mrs. Chas. Osborne drove out to the Grigsby ranch last Sunday. That is to say, she drove out towards the Grigs- by rancho. But To! and be- hold, she had neglected to feed her trusty Overland its accustomed ration of gaso- line, and just on top of the hill leading down to their destination, the faithful engine, suffering from con- tinued hamilton, gasped once or twice and then gave up the ghost.
 They were rescued by their hosts and later return ed to town in Mrs. Grigsby's Cadillac, which is warrant ed not to run out of gas, and so far, has never had a single puncture. Procuring the necessary petrol they re- turned to their stranded ship and were soon safely back in town.
 But wasn't Sunday with it's wind and snow a nice day for such a stunt. And even if Mrs. Osborne is strong for Prohibition, wouldn't yoa think she would relax her principles enough to give her car a drink?
