SURPRISED To FIND
GARDEN SPOT HERE
INSTEAD OF DESERT

Among the. many delegates who
arrived day late at the United
States Good Roads and Bankhead
conventions are the Honorable A. ID.
Gilreath of Greenville, South Caro-
lima, a wealthy merchant and cotton
planter, and VIM. r. Timmons, sec
retary of the Greenville chamber Of
commerce.
These gentlemen have Joined with
the many othar delegates of the
Sunny South in extending the invita-
ton for next years convention TO
meet in Greenville. The Greenville
delegation which is headed by j. c.
DuckWorth, invited the convention
for 1922, but on learning of the law
of the associations that the conven-
tion alternate between the east and
west, threw its strength to Phoenix.
Il am very glad the meeting was
held in Phoenix this year." said Sec
retary Timmons last night, "for 9TH
erwise we might not have had the
opportunity of seeing your wonderful
western country so soon. / believe,
however we are all disappointed. We
expected to find a dry prairie and
have found fertile garden. You
have all the advantages of regular
rains. and at the same time don't
have to bother about rain insurance,
which is getting to be one of the
famous sports of the east among our
fairs and other outdoor celebrations.
Mr.. Gilreath is also very much inn
pressed with the impressions received
during his stay here but thinks that
along with the long staple cotton
grown in Arizona he should have
found at least a few cotton mills.
He promises to show the Arizona del-
egates, among other things the larg-
est cotton mill under one roof in the
world if the convention votes to ac-
cept Greenville's invitation for the
1923 meeting.
"You apparently have a wonderful
chamber of commerce as we'll as a
wonderful governor and mayor" con-
cluded Mr.. Timmons when seen last
night after the chamber of commerce
banquet, land / can see that your
people work in splendid cooperation,
since you could not have built up
this delightful city without paying
Eittention to the civic and commercial
development which can only come
through the cooperative thinking
and acting Of a modern chamber Of
commerce backed up by progressive
newspapers and forward looking pub
lie officials. The chamber of COM
merce furnishes the best medium
through which citizens can work for
the solution OF civic and industrial
problems of the present day without
too much loss of time and effort from
their personal business and l can see
on all sides evidences that the Phoe-
nix people have realized this truth
and are giving the local organization
the kind of support that is deserved" !"

The United States Good Roads
show which is being held at the state
fair grounds in conjunction with the
Good Roads convention has proven
to be one of the most interesting fea-
lures of convention week and is at
tracing much attention. Thousands
of Phoenix people and visitors are
afforded an opportunity to see the
machinery which is used in modern
road building.
Spectators have been generally
surprised at the wonderful exhibit
ton and at the remarkable progress
that the show portrays in the road
making industry.
AS a rule citizens are content with
the finished product in road build
ing and take little interest in the
ways and means by which the high
ways are constructed. The United
States Good Roads show has aroused
deep interest in all who witnessed
the display and has shown the vis>
itors that modern engineers have
spent an infinite amount of work on
improving the efficiency of the in
dustry.
Part of War Material
Scores of ponderous trucks. trac-
TORS and other road machinery are
included in the exhibit Most of these
are the property of the Arizona high
way department, furnished by the
federal government from the large
stock of war material on hand at the
conclusion of the late war.
Most of the large tractors in the
show were used in the u. 5. artil-
lery for pulling around the heavy
field pieces. They are still encased to
a large extent in armor plate and are
excellently adapted to standing the
gaff of heavy work. Being built to
Withstand the onslaught of shot and
she'll they are very apt to hold UP
under less strenuous service.
Trucks. supply wagons. cook Wag.
ons and converted ambulances are
also included in the display. A fea-
fure of the exhibit is the self-sus-
tanning Illuminating plant. mounted
in compact form on a truck. The
lighting plant makes it possible 10
work as efficiently by night as dur
ing the day and it is equipped with
high power searchlight which casts
A broad beam of light over a large
area.

vcIcLEs POINTED UPWARD

Did you ever see icicles growing up
instead of down? That's all right.
didn't believe it either when / first
heard Of it. But in the end I had to
believe my eyes. On walking out to
the road. where | was told that the
wonderful sight could be seen, /
found it just as described. There was
row of icicles ON the under side of
the wire. just where one would ex-
pect to find them, and another row
ON top. The icicles on top We're fully
as long as those on the bottom, but
much stouter.
1t was certainly a mystery. No one
had ever seen. or heard of anything
like it. And though It had been quite
a storm / did not feel like believing
that the laws Of nature had been re-
versed. and that icicleS had started
growing up. instead of down. An eX-
animation OF a nearby wire offered a
clue that probably explains the mat
ter. I found that the ice had formed
much more heavily on the top of the
wires than on the sides or bottom
This was probably due to the fact
that the freezing rain came at first
in the form of q. foggy driZzle. There
it settled on top of the wire and
froze there without much running
down to form icicles. There were ici-
cles on the wire on the under side
where one would expect to find them
and none on the top.
Now l suspect that the ice on the
telephone wires got top heavy. and
when the wind began to blow, the
wire turned over, or the ice on il
slipped around. This would make the
icicles that had formed on the bottom
point upward. Then new set of ici-
cles formed on the bottom, and the
| top ones became stouter through the
beating of the sleet. There may be
another explanation. but none occur.
| to me. Anyway, 1t made an odd look.
Ing sight. and one that is not likely
! to be seen very often.

NEWS NOTES FROM
CREIGHTON SCHOOL

Ex-Governor George w. Hunt ad-
dressed the student body of the
Creighton school on last Tuesday
morning. His address. which dealt
with the manners and customs of the
Siamese, was very interesting and
instructive.
Much interest is being shown by the
school in the annual Sweet Pea show
which will be held at Creighton on
Friday April %. Cash prizes for the
best individual exhibit as we'll as
whole room displays seems to be the
cause of such an active interest.
