O DESERT MOON!
BY STEPHEN L. HORTON.
(Written for The Mail.)

% Desert Moon! so luminous and
bright,
Ruler of a world quiescent,
Queen of the night.
Your courtiers withdraw as you
draw near,
Abashed by your glory, drugged by
your beauty,
Drunk as with old wine.
1 wander in a world apart,
o Desert Moon!
o Desert Moon!
Your children hold mute festival
On my desert strand.
They build dream cities,
Ghosts of cities where history was
made,
Dark and silent when mock death
holds sway
Save for some Bachites midnight
song
Or some reyeler's shout.
Through slumbering streets I wan
der
Built by their phosphorescent
hands,.
Enchanted for a time.
0 Desert Mooni
o Desert Moon!
Harmonious is your sway;
You of the Present, Future and
the Past,
only of the present, and must
come away
And leave your enchanted realm
For the turmoil of the age.
When night no longer is gulf
Between the labors of the day,
That mems souls be debased into
gold
In Mammon's crucible,
o Desert Mooni

ever, that the pari-mutuels would
not be part of the fair, and that
something must be provided to take
its place.
1t was pointed out that by elimi-

charge of SOC at the gates of the
fair grounds, about $4,000 would be
saved, that it cost the commission
that amount to operate the gates
of the fair, while the proceeds from
the gates go to the state.

Engineers figure that 1000 cubic
feet OF, gas will prepare eighteen
meals for six persons in the home,
$50 single meals in a restaurant,
boil 275 gallons of water, or give
a fine bath for a nickle. Gas leaves
no ashes or floor dirt, and is fast
being recognized as the ideal fuel
for the home. It's use is increasing
almost as rapidly as the growth of
electricity, even though the old
market for gas for lighting is al
most gone.

~ low increased during the last
month more than $214,000, accord
ing to combined statements of the
two banks covering the period
from April to May 6, while, ac-
cording to a. statement issued last
week by Andrew T. Hammons,
state superintendent of banks, de-
posts in the state have increased
100000 during the last year, re-
flecting an improved condition gen.
orally in banking business through
out Arizona.
The increase in local deposits is
due to a certain extent, says r. c.
Kaufman, of the First National
Bank, to the re-established conf
dence of people in banking institu
lions and also to a general i'm
provement in business conditions.
G. T. Stevens, of the First National
Bank, who was interviewed on the
subject also, attributed part of the
increase to the heavy tourist trade
which Winslow has experienced
during the last month and also to
number of sheep sales. Charles
Dare. of the United Bank and Trust
company, attributed the increase to
| larger pay checks drawn by the
railroad men the last month. To
sum up the situation, it is thought
that the much talked-of prosperity
that has been predicted for Wins
low this summer is well on the
way,
In his report last week Mr., Ham
mons said the bands of the state
show a generally improved condi-
ton in the statements made by the
banks for April 6, 1925, as COM
pared to their condition year ago.
The state superintendent also point
ed out that money loaned by the
banks has decreased during the
year by nearly 100000, which
indicates the ability on the part OF
the borrowers to repay their loans,
particularly in the banks of Phoe-
nix.
Another indication that the con-
dition of the banks of the state
have improved, according to Mr..
Hammons, is the fact that the cash
on hand in the banks and due from
other banks has increased during
the year by nearly 100000, while
the bills payable of the banks,
which includes money borrowed by
the banks, has decreased by nearly
$1,O00,000
The report shows that loans and
discounts of the banks of the state
totaled $44,O52,521.20 on April 6,
1925, as compared to total of $48,-
217,2S5.77 for the same items on
March 81, 1924, or net decrease
of $3,769, 764.57.
The cash on hand and due from
other banks of the state totaled
1907, 308.76 on April 6, 1925, or
S2,SO9,38S more than the total of
these items on March 81, 1924,
which was $16,267,92O.13.
The report also shows that the
banks have added to their real
estate holdings during the year,
the total value Of the real estate on
April 6, 1925, being $4,649,950 as
compared to a total of $780,, 275.22
on March 81, 1924, or an increase
of $752,675.56 for the year.
The, total resources of the banks
of the state have increased $1,22S,-
003.32 for the year, the report show
ing that on April 6, 1925, the total
combined resources of all the banks
in the state were $81, ,521.45, as
against total resources of $80,332,-
/ 51S.13 on March 81, 1924.

ENTERTAINMENTS.

WlNoLo" lolh loSe soou inu'i''
The number of expensive radio
sets, monographs and instruments
owned here, the number of stu
dents in the high school musical
organizations, the choirs of the
churches, and the celebrity with
which a competent military band
was organized by Frank Christen-
sen and Charles Goodhall for the
big celebration this week, all prove
that the appreciation of music
among Winslow people is keen, and
that no labor or expense is too
great to satisfy the craving for the
best can obtained.
During the winter just past there
have been a number of entertain
ments, most of them free. The
Santa Fe Reading Rooms associa-
ton has brought artists of the
highest rank to Winslow, all OF
whom were accorded the courtesy
of audiences which taxed the ca
pacity of the large Washington
school auditorium. Last week two
entertainments of more than usual
merit, both free, the concert by
the Northern Arizona Teachers col
lege on Thursday evening and the
recital by Miss Betty Lane Shop
herd. eminent soprano, grand opera
singer, and Jacques Glockner, Gel
list, drew out audiences which
were gratified beyond measure by
the opportunity to hear their offer
ings.
The membership of the Winslow
Woman's club embraces many
trained musicians, vocal and instru-
mentalists, most of whom have
been trained in the Conservatives
of large cities, and who have not
forgotten or neglected to continue
their studies just because they have
made their homes in a small out
of-the-way. Their hunger for all
that a wider musical world has to
offer makes their anticipation of
entertainment coming to Winslow
all the more lively, and sharpens
their critical appreciation to
keen edge.
Therefore it was but natural,
when the Woman's club was asked
to indorse and sponsor reappear-
ance of the Chautauqua which
presented five days of entertain
ment here this spring, that they
should ask for a higher class or
talent before giving encourage
ment to the Chautauqua for next
year The Chautauqua association
demands a large guarantee, but
gives no guarantee in exchange.
The community paying for the en-
fertainment takes what is provided,
and is asked to be thankful. A
certain "civic duty is implied in
Chautauqua guarantees, as for
many years it was supposed that
only by the, means of ChautauQua
could high-class entertainments be
secured by small towns. That this
is not the fact is manifested by
comparison with the Chautauqua
programs of the last few seasons,
all of which were paid for dearly,
and the free entertainments with
which we have been blessed during
the winter.
A good deal of courage was need
ed for the club to demand that the
Chautauqua association reciprocate
with a guarantee that their pro-
grams be worth at least portion
of the money paid for them. If
this guarantee is forthcoming the
Woman's club will work with all
their usual energy and effective
ness for the success of the Chau-
tauqua next year, but unless some
Improvement is made or promised
in the programs the club will have
nothing to do with it.

involving stinting and discomfort
far greater than they would have
to endure if they remained at home.
Many will go to California, toward
which is a general flocking at this
time of the year.
They will spend a few weeks in
stuffy lodging houses; they will
look at the sea, and will return to
their former lives worn out and
with flattened purses. This kind of
vacation is worse than none at all.
But there is another kind of va
cation which is open to nearly all
Arizonians. Arizona offers it and
year by year more and more Ari-
zonians are taking this vacation
When one has taken a vacation in
Arizona once, one takes another the
next year. The most enthusiastic
"seers. of Arizona first" are those
who have seen it, and they are still
more enthusiastic about seeing it
the second or third or fourth time
They get so they want to see it
every time, for, with it's great vari-
alton, it is ever new.
For some years a large number
of people from distant parts of the
country have been coming to the
numerous wide scenic regions Of
Arizona. The numbers are increas-
ing each year. They include writ
ers, artists, students, people of
wealth who have wearied Of the
conventional and crowded paths of
travel up and down in the world.
They are searching for something
fresh and new and they find it in
Arizona, which has come to be
recognized as one of the country's
great Fairgrounds.
There is no other place where
there is such beautiful and startling
scenery. There is no other object
in nature rivaling the grandeur of
the Grand Canyon, no other forests
are of such magnificent extent as
those of Northeastern Arizona. No
other region is so attractive to
summer tourists and vacationists
as the thousands of square miles
in the White Mountains, with it's
Astounding, sparkling streams.
There are beauties and wonders
everywhere, among the more re-
Gently discovered of them being
the now famous Rhyoltie Park in
Southeastern Arizona, one of the
most surprising of AriZona's won
ders. In the northeast is the great
Painted Desert, which those who
have seen it find is as difficult of
description as the Grand Canyon,
which the wisest and most skilled
of observers and writer's shrink
from trying to describe and leave
that task to amateur word-painters.
We believe there is no great paint
ing of a rainbow, but there have
been thousands of lesser ones.
We have many people who do
not like an out-of-door vacation,
though they would be the better for
it; there are still others who are
physically unable to bear the mild
but bracing discomforts of such an
outing. They want only a change
of climate amid modern Injuries
and conveniences. They can have
it in several Arizona towns-Pres-
colt, with its 5000 feet elevation
amid the pines; Iron Springs, for
| twenty-five years a Phoenix sum-
mer colonists' camp; Flagstaff,
famed throughout the Union as a
summer resort.
From an Arizona vacation one
returns Refrigerated, his eyes
bright, his muscles hardened, fit
for another ten or eleven months
struggle, and with a new measure
of state pride and patriotism. One
will have pleasure, too, all
through the next ten or eleven
