Done In Control of
Rodents In Arizona

PHOENIX = The extensive work
being carried on to control rodents
in Arizona by farmers and stock
men in cooperation with the Uni
ted States biological survey and
rodent forces of the University of
Arizona was disclosed by the June
report made by D. A. Gilchrist,' in
charge of the rodent control.
A total of 96,393 acres were
treated with poisoned bait and
more than 100000 rodent pests
were killed with an estimated saw
ing of crops and range grasses, ac-
cording to Mr. Gilchrist's report.
The report goes on to say:
"Organized campaigns against
the prairie dog pest were carried
out at Springerville, St. Johns,
Snowflake, Holbrook, Flagstaff,
Williams, Ashfork, Seligman and
Prescott, while drive was made
against the kangaroo rat pest in
Cochise county, where specialist A.
j. de Lille assisted the farmers in
killing 21,000 kangaroo rats on g.
600 acres.
"The work in Apache, Navajo,
Coconino, Yavapai and MaricOpa
counties was carefully inspected
during June and plans made for
continuing the good work already
started. 1t is estimated that about
100000 worth of crops and range
grasses were saved by the rodent
drives during June and over $4,000
killed per day. Even
greater results are expected in
July"

FOREST RESERVE
HIT BY 29 FIRES
WITHIN 10 DAYS

The total of forest fires for the
season in the Tonto National for
est was brought to 55 Saturday,
when the ranger in charge report
ed 20 fires in the Today period
ending Saturday, establishing new
records for the greatest number of
fires at this time of the season oc-
curing within corresponding
period, according to T. T. Swift,
supervisor of the forest
Electrical storms occurring al
most daily and prevailing high
winds are blamed for the fires.
None of the recent blazes were
caused by men. Two were started
by sparks from a tractor while the
cause of the other is undetermined.
The huge forest area is dry and
the fire hazard is said to be great
er at this time than it has been for
a number of years. The winds
which have been blowing steadily
| for some time have not only dried
out the forest area, but also famed
two of the fires so that they spread
rapidly and burned over 20 acres
of timber before brought under
control by the rangers and fire
guards.
Two of the blazes were class "C''
covering more than 10 acres each !;
seven were class ''B" less than 10
acres; while 20 were class "A''
confined to less than one-quarter
acre each. A total of asa acres of
timber was destroyed by the 29
fires.

AMMUNITION DEPOT
 ID BE IN NEVADA
100000 Acres of Land Set Aside
 for Use

Washington. Oct. 2s R-Reserva- ton of one hundred thousand acres in Mineral county, Nevada, for a naval ammunition depot was an- nounced today at the interior de- partment.
 President Coolidge has issued an executive order withholding the land from settlement.
 The depot site is south of Walker Lake near Hawthorne, it was chosen after an inspection by navy engi- neers, who took into account its isolation from any thickly settled community which might suffer from such an explosion as that which wrecked the arry's Lake Denmark reservation in New Jersey last sum- ner. There Is no town within 10 miles.
 Other factors In the selection was the remoteness of the tract from danger of attack in war time.
 Navy plans for developing the reservation are not yet complete. and 1t was indicated today that the presidents action did not con- template immediate construction of a depot.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Among our modern thinkers are many pessi-
mists who seem to feel that the country is in
pretty bad way. One complaint often heard is that
wealth, in which only few can be successful The
rest of the people, it is argued. are forced to get
along in 8 narrow kind of way in which they can
find little pleasure.
But the average person can have o great many
satisfactions, If he she does not attain any
wealth. II people have education. the wide world
of books and literature is open to them at slight
cost. Such people should find greater, pleasure in
the masterpieces of romance and poetry. than is
ever obtained by spending money. -. k-st- .a@
Whether or not people have education, there
are many pleasures open to them. Modern inven-
ton has brought the automobile TO sour doors and
placed It within the reach of the average family.
With this wonderful facility we can wander
around the country on our Of days. and take de-
light in the beauty Of nature. The wonders Of
moving. pictures, radio instruments, the phono-
graph, etc, bring US constant entertainment for
little money. 81
It seems a rather course view Of the world, to
feel that only by spending lot of money can one
obtain happiness. The wealthy are not probably
any happier than the average person. Happiness
Is obtained by some form Of pleasant activity. The
penniless youngster playing baseball tennis and
putting the full enthusiasm Of his nature into his
game, is probably lot happier than the average
man Of wealth. who has often injured his. health
in the struggle for success.
Family relations should give him great deal
Of happiness. The poor man with strong sons and
daughters growing up often feels richer than the
childless man Of wealth. Happiness is not measured
by the opportunities to gain riches

Many would say these people missed their call

doing manual work indefinitely. But anyone. what
his occupation. Is benefited by having had
experience of these plain and practical tasks. In

AN EASTER THOUGHT. J,

The story Of the resurrection of Jesussas told
in the sacred scriptures is differently interpreted
by different people. It is not necessary for people
to think just alike about it
The essential thing is that the soul Of the
Master was thereby shown by certain well attested
occurrences to have been immortal and this natur-
ally suggests faith that those who try TO follow
after his spirit and principles win likewise acquire
this gift of immortality.
The Easter festival is partly of pagan origin,
with some customs that existed before Christianity
conquered the western world. The fathers of the
Christian religion saw the happiness that people
found in great popular festivals, and they wisely
took these old occasions and made them over into
celebrations illustrating the truth of Christianity
1t ID one sign of the power of the Christian religion,
that where these old festivals were formerly at
tended by much that was lowering, when they were
adapted over for Christian uses, they were lifted
to higher plane.
The Easter observance comes to man today,
struggling with sorrows and disappontments, and
tells him that his soul is immortal or at least that
it can be he win set his face toward Immortality
and try to be worthy of it.
1t teaches him not to set his heart on the
transient goods and the feshy enjoynpents Of this
world which have so little real value, but to try
to find his satisfactions the faithful performance
Of duty, in generous and kindly acts, and in fidelity
to those noble principles of conduct and faith that
were proclaimed by the great Master of US all.
With this hopeful philosophy, we can meet the
shocks of our earthly career with confidence, and
look forward with peaceful hearts to whatever is
beyond.
