bloom. I know I was exceedingly il!
hammered in rushing from the trolley,
but 1 had to see if that cactus was a
real one 1t was not only real, but
there was a piece Of desert with
many more Saguaros growing. True,
the desert was only about three miles
square, but it was real. Suddenly,
conceived that this was a state park.
Then I was proud to be native of
Arizona, for I realized that my state,
in it's rush for wealth, had not for
gotten to set aside a park showing
the natural beauty of Arizona, the
same beauty that was to be found al
most anywhere in 1926.
Then followed two of the happiest
hours Of my life. AS l watched the
sun go behind a hill that was COW
cred with Saguaros a thrill went
through my heart There was some
thing of a magnet in the very atmos-
phere of the place.
Finally I looked up and saw a large
building surrounded by many cot
tages. From a man who was sitting
near me I learned that the buildings
and cottages were one of three
Saguaro winter resorts to be found
in the state. Each resort was adja-
cent to a state park like the one
had just visited.
1t was time for me to go back to
the city, and l left the little bit Of
desert with the thought that if the
Saguaro Cacti were responsible for
these winter resorts, and for that
feeling of home which the park had
instilled into my soul, then it was a
good thing that the Garden of the
World in it's efforts to gain fame had
failed to forget the real symbol Of
Arizona, the Saguaro Cacti.

CooLIDGE's FAVoRITE PAPER

| saw an item in the press to the
effect that the weekly newspaper
from President Coolidge's home town
goes on to his desk when it arrives at
the White House with no profaning
hand laid upon it. The President
reads it carefully and with keenest
interest. Some of you who sometimes
think your work is unappreciated and
your efforts lost on the desert air,
ought to get the significance of that
news item. There is a thing so inl-
pOrtant and vital about the home
town newspaper, it transcends time
and distance and challenges the no.
the personal touch. No real man, no
matter how greatly grown, ever lost
his interest in the home town. To
him it is shrine of his affections, the
birthplace Of his dreams, the place of
his triumphs When the world pass
oS out the laHrels to deck his brow
II is not the kings and presidents he
thinks about in that hour of glory,
but the folks back in the old home
town And when the Weekly Tribune
arrives ne tears off the wrapper with
eager hands and looks with kindline
eyes to see what Editor Sam Grove
has said about it. And I have the
feeling that the busy man in the
White House, wearied of the praise
Of statesmen and ambassadors and
the homage Of the mighty, turns eV,
cry week, when the home town news
paper arrives, to refresh his soul at
the fount of simplicity and true liv-
ing and things as they really are.
