Many Will Spend Vaca-
tiOns in North Arizona

The hot summer months are only
a few weeks away and much discus
sion of where to spend a summer
vacation is already to be heard.
Judging from the stray remarks that
drift in, it is safe to say that north
ern Arizona will draw more visitors
than in any previous season.
The cooling breezes that float
through the pine-covered hills of that
region holds an allurement that is
sure to attract. This is not the only
attraction, however, as it is without
doubt the greatest rendezvous for
the true sportsman to be found east
of the Rocky mountains today.
: The fishing season will open June
l and in the vicinity of Springer
vile there are said to be 400 miles
of trout streams that rank second
to none in the United States. Sprin-
gerville is the capital of that section
and will no doubt come in for a full
share of the summer vacationists.
Good accommodations are to be had
at Springerville and the vacationists
can truly say after a trip to that
section that it is, indeed, the place

BEATTY RANKS FIRST

A. j. Beatty, local Singer sewing
machine agent, ranked first in col
lections in Arizona and third in the
central district, composed of Mon
tana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona and western Texas,
according to a recent announcement
of the company. He also ranks high
in sales for the sewing machine. This
is quite an honor, especially so since
Mr.. Beatty has only been with that
company for a short time.

Small Admission Charged

The nominal sum of 15c for adults
and Toe for children is charged for
admission to the pool. This is
thought to be the lowest charge in
the State, the gate admission prices
alone to the city parks being more
than is charged for swimming in the
pool here.
Official Contests Staged
The Tempe Civic club, because of
its membership in the American Ath-
letic union, is the only organization
in the State, with the exception of
the university, that can stage SWIM
ming matches under rules assuring
the contestants that any records will
be given full credit all over the Ma
tion and world Several contests
under the auspices of the club are
given each year.
NOn-Profit Organization
The pool is operated by the Tempe
Beach association and is non-profit
organization. The ground for the
pool was purchased by the city, the
citizens taking stock in the associa-
tion for the amount necessary for
its construction, with the understand
ing that as soon as the pool made
the money and paid back their in
vestment it was then to be turned
over to the city for municipal
swimming pool. About $4,000 has
been invested, and it is expected that
the association will be able to pay
off all Indebtedness this year and the
pool be turned over to the city.

1OO,O 900 Win Visit the Pool

100000 Will Visit the Pool
More than $4,000 persons went to
the beach last year, half of this
number purchasing bathing tickets,
and it is estimated that 100000 or
more will visit it this year, with at
least half of that number going into
the pool
Many improvements This Year I
Several hundreds of dollars have
been spent this year in renovating
the pool and constructing new build
ings. 1.-THE entire pool has been
painted and put in first-class shape.
A new building for checking clothing
and val1ables and for commissary
will be completed by May 6. The
commissary is to be installed for the
convenience of the bathers and fami-
lies spending the day at the pool.
Attendants Employed

is the only pool in the State where
the American Red Cross first aid in
structors conduct classes and this is
one of the reasons for its great pop
ularity over Arizona.
Water Changed Twice Weekly
The water is changed and the pool
thoroughly scrubbed and disinfected
twice a week. Fresh water is then
pumped into the pool every day and
every precaution is taken to make
the pool sanitary.

receive another whipping at the
hands of his father when he ran
way He travelled all around the
world and turned out to be nice old
gentleman who more than likely de-
plored the meanness of the boys and
girls whom he knew in his adult life.
AS Cameron d. Beck said in his
talk before local business and pro-
fessional men last Saturday noon,
if there is anything wrong with
youth it is the fault of the older gene
ration. Since the mothers and faith
ers of this age do not seem to be such
terrible people it naturally follows
that the younger generation is going
to turn out all right. At least there
doesn't seem to be any immediate
cause for worry.-Bisbee Review.

GRAFTON than it bore under the old
order of things. No longer can it
tell Flaming fouth" to quench the
fires unless it, too, smothers con-
flagration. 1t no longer can tell
its successors-to-b that this or that
is wrong and then commit those
social or moral crimes and expect
youth to be satisfied with ping pong
and fiddle de winks.
The New York man declared that
he was not in the least pessimistic
about the future of the present gener-
alton. No one has any right to
have any doubts about the capabili-
lities of the youth of today or meas
ure up its responsibilities in life.
Defenseless youth always has been
the target of adult attack, and pro-
badly always will be. The boy who
sent his teacher a comic valentine a
couple of decades ago has grown up
and now deplores the lack of respect
of his generation of youth for elders.
If we go clear back to Biblical times
consider the tormenters Of Elijah.
There certainly cannot be children in
this age who deserve the fate dealt
out to those who scoffed at the pro-
phet. Davy Crockett didn't want to

Can a Frog Live
Ten Million Years ?

While digging truck pit near the
Adamana we'll south of Holbrook
Monday, G. w. Culver and DR.. w. ri
Green discovered frog leg severed
by a pick, and were amazed when they
found living frog incased in hard
MOencopi shale, taken from a depth of
four feet.
Upon close examination it was
found that the frog, which was not
larger than dollar and seemed to be-
grown together III a ball shape, had
no visible eyes or mouth. Forty eight
hours after taken from its living tomb
in the hard shale, the frog literally
seemed to develop eves and straighten
out.
While it may seem impossible that
the creature could exist in the shale,
which is as hard as cement, DR.. Green
exhibited the frog Thursday afternoon
to the editor of the Holbrook Tribune,
and later DR.. III. X. Wilson examined
it and found it ceased to pulsate. Dr..
Green and Mr.. Culver claim when the
frog was first discovered there was a
visible pulsation. Dr. Wilson believes
the creature died when exposed to the
air as a result of too much oxygen.
According to geology this frog was
embedded in the sedi1nentary Moen-
copi shale at the time it was laid
down by the sea. This shale is classed
by geologists as Of permian age, which
is variously estimated to be anywhere
from ten million to one hundred mill
lion years old.
The frog will be sent to the univer-
sity for examination, Identification
and classification.-Ho Holbrook Tribune.

Beck Places Blame
Where It Belongs

Cameron D. Beck's views on al
legged adolescent moral deterioration
conceded with those who have given
the much-discussed subject serious
thought. In the words Of the more
or less slangy youth Of today, he
said mouthful' when he declared
that the parent is entirely responsible
for the moral welfare of his off
spring. This is not a modern con-
dition, either It has always been
thus, but in past generations the boy

THE RISING COST OF BURYING GRADMAs-FoUR HoRsEMEN OF
COLA GOOD OLD FIGHTING MAN GONE ON
BY PHILIP MARTIN

MO wonder the kids are shying
! away from baseball and taking
up golf. swimming. and playground
recreationaI activities.
The ancient and honorable bury
ing of grandmothess has gone out
Of fashion 1t was a quaint custom
and its passing is to be deplored.
The high cost OF living has cut into
the death rate Of grandmothers.
In the olden days when mustache
cups were something not to be
laughed at without mourning few
lusty whacks from a razor strop.
when wooden Indians stood in front
of cigar stores and gazed longingly
at book beer signs across the street,
an ordinary Office boy could bury
an average grandmother for the
sum total of 25 cents. current coin
OF the realm.
Tor that meager price OF tw0.bits
: he could inter her in the center
field bleachers. If an Office boy
wanted to do the noble thing by his
grandmother he could bury her for
so cents in the bleachers back of
third or first base.
But as the price went up the NOR.
tality rate went down. II boy
buries a grandmother in a 75-cent
plot in these days of frenzied
finance, he is lucky to find himself
inside ball park at all. One more
hoist in prices and the sad. sad rite
Of burying grandmothers will be no
more. Baseball needs bigger. bet
ter and less expensive grandmother
funerals.
THERE are three golfers who
will bear watching in the ma
jor tournaments this summer. They
are: Bobby Cruikshank. Bobby
Jones and Jess Sweetser.
Cruikshank was the big money
winner: Jones cinched his right to
be called the greatest golfer in the
world when at Atlanta in the big
invitation he beat the best pros by
q margin Of eight strokes: Sweet
ser played only three rounds at At
lanta on account of his GONZALES
cence but he showed in those three
rounds he is in perfect form by
coping the pro-amateur title,
teamed with Cruikshank: Voight is
the sensation of the spring season.
His breath-taking card of 135 is
