Sean O'Casey, Son Of Toll,
Wins His Dearest Dream

CEAN O'CASEY fought hunger
y and he beat it. He fought
poverty and he beat it. He fought
loneliness and neglect and he
beat them. But he could not
fight a dark-eyed, dark-haired
colleen who showed she liked
him.
One day, very earnestly, but
very humbly, he blurted out to
her love speech far more beau
tiful than any he had ever writ
ten in his plays. And to his very
great surprise. it produced ex-
actly the denouement he wanted
the girl fell into his arms and
promised to be his bride.
It's as pretty an ending to 43
years of endless fighting as senti-
mental London has witnessed in
a very long time.
We've got nobody in all Amer
lea the exact counterpart OF
O'Casey. We have had drama
lists who were poorly paid re-
porters and dramatists who bat
tied against poverty. But none
of them was like O'Casey. He
started with no advantages what
ever-except innate genius.
The son of toiIers. he toiled
early. And it was rough work
he had. He was not even a skilled
laborer. Sometimes he was out
of job. Then he was on the
dole. In his late thirties he had
single room in one OF the
dingiest, darkest tenements in the
slums of Dublin.
II used to come home after
slogging all day and get my own
supper" he told an interviewer.
Then l washed dishes. Then
patched my socks. Then l did odd
jobs around the room. When all
these were finished, sank into a
chair and read by the light OF a
candle.

Another Big Resource
AyCaiting Development


The drainage area Of the Little
Colorado river in Arizona is second
only to that Of the Gila The Little
Colorado is one Of the great undevel-
oped streams of the southwest. 1t has
been oyershadowed by its great neigh
Dor, the main Colorado, and its po-
tentialities unvisioned by our people.
Full development Of the irrigation
and power resources of the Little
Colorado and its tributaries will sup
port future population equal to that
of the state at present.
The Little Colorado pours into the
Grand Canyon between one and half
to two million acre feet annually.
With the smaller water duty in the
higher attitudes through which the
river flows, complete storage Of the
Little Colorado river would provide
water sufficient to irrigate between a
half and three-quarter million acres
of land. That is two or three times
the total irrigated acreage of the Salt
River project, depending upon which
of the estimates is taken.
It was natural that extensive and
intensive development of irrigation
would come first in the lower valleys
Of Arizona where warm climate Of
fered a year round growing season,
and rainfall was utterly insufficient
for the growing Of crops.
With the full development of the
Gila and its tributaries approaching,
the next natural and great extension
Of the irrigated area Of the state will
come in the valleys of the Little Colo
rado and it's tributaries, except such
as may follow through the harnessing
Of the main Colorado.
The territory drained by the Little
Colorado includes hundreds of thou
sands Of acres Of rich, black lands.
The soil and climate are suitable for
the growing of the products of the
temperate zone, including the harder
fruits, root crops, hay and grains. In
northeastern Arizona lies another pc
tential empire, challenging the genius
and energy of our people for its devel-
opment. Miami Silver Belt.

BIRD HOUSE CONTEST

Bird lovers of Milford will be glad
to hear that this town is soon to
have another bird house contest.
About thirty boys of the Manual
Training Department of Milford
High School are busy this week
making bird houses for their annual
competition which will be held in
about ten days.
The contest this year has assum-
ed larger proportions than usual
and there will probably be well over
forty houses entered. The Milford
Rotary Club has offered prizes of
five and three dollars to the best
and second best submitted, while
the instructor, Mr. Barsby, has Of
fered a boy scout knife to the best
second year entry
The problem of building a good
bird house is more than that of
merely providing a box with en-
trance holes cut in it. Many species
of birds are very particular in their
nesting habits and if we are to at
tract them with man made shell
ters we must meet their require
ments.
Some items as the size of the in
terror, the material used, diameter
of the entrance, height of the en-
trance above floor, are all impor-
tant things to be considered. Also
bird house has to be ventilated, pro-
tected from rain, and placed high
enough from the ground, and in
such manner that bird enemies
cannot reach them.
Much study and emphasis has
been placed on these factors and the
houses in the exhibit will be the
individual designs of the boys, rep
resenting their own ideas. Among
the entries will be martin houses,
robin shelters, wren houses, and
many other varieties.
An effort will be made to secure
a window down town where the
boxes can be displayed to the public,
for after the contest many of the
boys will sell their products to bird
lovers of this vicinity.

MILFORD BASKETEERS
WIN TWO GAMES TUESDAY

Milford High Schools two basket
ball teams ended the season in
blaze of glory on Tuesday night,
when they captured both ends of a
double-header from Chestertown
High.
Neither game was ever in doubt,
and Coach Barsly used his entire
squad before the final whistle.
Minerva Layton was high scorer for
Milford, as she Gagged IS baskets,
while Hill and Grove tailed five
each.
Hart and McNicol played wonder
full games at centre and were large
ly responsible for the easy victory.
Mary Lambert and ROslee Truitt
smothered the opposing forwards,
and only two field goals were scor-
ed on this pair.
The final score was Al to 8 and
was the easiest victory of the sea-
son.
This runs the girls total to seven
straight games won and shows that
the green team that started the
season is now at top form and
among the best in the state.
The girls team will suffer greatly
by graduation this year, as Lambert,
Truitt, McNicol and Hill will grad
uate.
The boys game started out to be
very interesting, but Captain "Dike"
Kitchens and his playmates were in
a scoring humor and baskets raised
in from all angles.
Snatch" Wroten of the locals
dented the basket eleven times,
some of his shots being spectacular.
Kitchens followed with twenty -One
points. Tatman, playing one of the
best games of his career, garnered
ten points and held his opponent
scOreless.
Grove, the Wooten brothers, Sip
pie and Coffin all played a fine
game, and the spectacular field goal
by Coffin near the close of the game
was one of the few classic shots
seen on the local floor this year.
This game winds up the local sea-
son on the home floor and all hands
are now turning to baseball.
DdSeDdll season Will De luduS-
urated in Milford next Tuesday af-
ternoon when the local High School
team entertains Greenwood.
Milford has just started practice
and the game will be in the ma
ture of a tryout.
Much time and labor has been
spent by the boys on the baseball
field, rolling out the bumps and lev
elling it, and it is in excellent
shape.
The lineup of the local team is
still in doubt, but theresare five reg
ulars from last year and the other
positions should be easily filled.

team beftting Milford this year, as
new uniforms and equipment have
been ordered
