ARIz. GOVERNOR
CHARGES OTHER
STATES FAVORED
By United Press Lensed Wire

PHOENIX, Ariz., Mar. 22.-Ari-
zona is opposed to proposals of
Secretary of the Interior Work and
California officials to nationalize
the Colorado river as outlined in
the Swing-,Iohnson bill
Strenuous objection to the mea-
sure is contained in telegram be-
fore the house committee on arid
lands today, sent by Governor Hunt,
of Arizona.
Hunt charges that "Work is us
ing his position to further the aims
of the state of Colorado in hearings
before the committee.
California lobbyists and repre-
sentatives as we'll as power trust
officials seem to consider Arizona's
interests in the Colorado river un-
worthy of consideration" Hunt S
message continues. "'The people of
Arizona are patient, long-suffering
and tolerant, but we are becoming
weary of the imperialistic designs
of some neighboring states. -

Commission Will Not Lengthen Route for State Road
CONTINUED HIGH
LETTUCE PRICES
ARE PREDICTED

Maintenance of the present high
market price on Imperial Valley let
tuce seems quite probable, according
to local lettuce authorities, in view
of the fact that reports from South
Carolina, the section from which
competition at this particular time is
most dreaded, show a decrease in the
estimated production, due to bad
weather.
The following telegram received
fro mthe Beaufort Truck Growers
Association of Beaufort, South Car
olina, is therefore of special inter
est:
"Acreage has been cut and let
tuce crop South Carolina badly de-
layed by cold weather. Depending
on favorable weather, will start
move small way April 10 with bulk
moving 18th to both. Possibly 800
to 600 cars between these dates.
North Carolina probably start April
%. Acreage there cut by cold. We
will distribute much as possible, but
account lateness crop must move it
within short period
Todav's local market on f. o. b.
quotations remains practically un'
changed since yesterday with de
mand and trading good, market
steady and firm feeling. A few
fancy fours sold at $3.50. New York
continues the high market with good
demand and fours bringing $3.50 and
$500. Fives are quoted at $3.50
$500. Chicago reports trading light
but market steady. Other eastern
markets continue to show the same
strength as during the past few
days. Seventy cars were shipped
from the valley yesterday; 90 were
ordered for today's loading.

Tourists Camp
Threatened by
Kas. Billiards
by United Press Leased Wire

SYRACUSE, Kans., Mar. 22.-An
cold time blizzard, sweeping
across the bleak prairies of western
Kansas today prevented officials
from sending relief to $50 encamped
tourists, snowbound and in dire dis
tress at the village of Kendall near
here.
A binding sliew was falling in
Syracuse when Sheriff Davis re-
ceived an order from Attorney Gen,
eral Griffith to get relief to the
parking camp. The wind howled out
of the northwest sixty miles an
hour, piling snow in huge drifts
along the highways.
Roads are impossible. Snow has
fallen intermittently for three
weeks.
There is no telephone communica-
tion between Syracue and Kendall
bv which word of conditions in the
camp can be obtained.
However reports mere are that the
tourists are in need. Many are i'll,
due to the severe weather. There
are no drug stores or doctors in
Kendall, which is barely more than
crossroads store. Food is believed
to be running short. Many women
and children are among those trap
ped by the blizzard.
/ Most of the people in the camp
are from eastern states .eproute t.
, the Pacific coast.
First word of their serious condi'
ton was contained in an appeal
which they sent to GOV. Johnathan
M. Davis asking for help.

In her womanhood, Laura cherished
this experience as one of the most
precious memories of her father. he
was a somewhat stern man, preoc-
cupied with his many tasks, exacting,
if judged by modern standards, and
she knew what it meant for farm
er to leave his work and patiently
walk mile beside frightened child
Yet for him to have gone after
those cows by himself would not have
meant nearly as much. A man who
did that would be likely to say: "You
were scared Of just an old dead tree"
Such statement, no matter how
kindly given, back \in the home kit
chen, would have bruised the ,child's
spirit. There is doubt if it could have
fully convinced her.
Taking time with a child in need is
far more valuable service than in
vestments of time, patience and eff
fort merely given for him. What skill
is required to impress the ordinary
child with the Importance of any
thing that is merely done for him?
Whereas, the kindly service under
taken with him to meet a felt need
Of his wins both immediate and last
ing appreciation. Wise, therefore, is
the parent who is not so numbered
with much serving of a material sort
as to fail the boy or girl in acts
of comradely helpfulness.

TAKING TIME WITH A CHILD

A dear woman of my acquaintance
spent her childhood amid pioneer con-
ditions in the Canadian bush. AS the
family sons were all daughters it
soon became her task to bring home
the cows pastured fully a mile away.
One afternoon, as she was running
down the brush bordered lane which
was the last of her route, the child
saw what appeared to be. very
strange animal with downbent head
and terrifying horns. She stopped and
watched from a safe distance, but it
remained in the same menacing at
titude at the side of the lane.
If there had been some other way
to reach the cows and drive them
home, Laura would have gone on, but
she felt that no little girl ought to get
any nearer to that peculiar creature.
She ran in panic to the place where
her father was at work
He assured her that there were no
dangerous animals about and said she
must have taken fright at one of the
steady old cows. Laura couldn't be-
lieve this, she was certain it was
some monster very different from
anything with which she had had to
do, but Of course it might have gone
away, so she dutifilly started back.
The creature had not left the lane,
and the early dusk made it appear
even more formidable than before.
Back she ran in tears. This time the
father left his work, took the child
by the hand and, talking calmly, led
over the whole way again, so that
she could see with her own eyes how
harmless was watever had frightened
er.
1t proved to be just dead tree
that the child had daily passed in I'M
concern till something in the atmos-
phere of this afternoon, or the angle
from which she first caught sight of
te .gaunt old ruin, stimulated the
young imagination to transform it
into frightful beast.
