SAVE OUR DESERTS

Springtime is here and already our
deserts are beginning to turn green. An
nual plants are springing out of the
earth; perennial shrubs and trees are
putting forth new foliage; even the cacti
are taking on fresher and healthier hues
behind their protective spines. We will
see more wild flowers than for many
years. Our so-called waste spaces will
be ablaze with red and yellow and purple
blooms.
And those same spaces will be overrun
with picnic parties, JOY riders, CONNER
cial plant hunters hauling away auto
loads of the flowers, grasses, bushes and
cactic that lend our desert so much OF
their unique beauty and charm.
There is law to prevent this despoia-
ton, but it might as we'll not be on the
statute books at all unless those who ap-
preciate and love the deserts, and under
stand what is happening to them IN TINS
age of easy transportation, take the trou-
bic to see that it is enforced.
Certainly there are not enough peace
officers to patrol the deserts, and it is to
be feared that there are altogether too
MANY officers who will take only slight
interest in staying the hands Of vandals.
So citizens who understand the neces-
sity for preserving the natural life and
beauty of our state, as all should, must
to a large extent take it upon themselves
to demonstrate with offenders and in
woke the law if need be. The duty Will
often be unpleasant but our deserts must
be saved.
Most of those who fill their cars with
blossoms that wilt before town is reach
ed. who root out cacti to make mantle
ornaments or to replant them in unnatur-
al environments where most of their at
tractiveness is lost, do so with no reallza-
ton of what the consequences will be-
They don't know that those flowers are
needed to mature seed for a renewal next
year of the glory that delights them now;
they don't know that it takes generations,
or even centuries. for even little cactus
to grow. and that when one is removed 1t
will be a long, long time before another
comes to take its place, if ever. Above
all. they do not realize the actual dollars
and-cents value of our deserts in attract
ing outside people who find them rest
full. exotic, scenically marvelous-Arl-

WHO IS JUDGE PARKERp

Until yesterday, when he was nominat-
ed for the supreme court bench bv Pres
ldent Hoover, we had never heard of
Judge John j. Parker, of Charlotte.
North Carolina
However, before Judge Parker takes
his place in the supreme court, we ex-
pect to know great deal about him via
the senate confirmation route.
Something tells US we are going to
learn that Judge Parker is not fit for the
supreme court bench having robbed an
occasional North Carolina orchard some
30 years ago. The gumshoe men in the
senate will without question be able to
prove that Judge Parker, when he was
plain Johnny Parker, used to keep money
given to him for Sunday school contribu-
ton, and use it for the heinous purpose
of buying licorice.
We notice by his photographs, that
Judge Parker wears glasses and parts his
hair on the left hand side These are dis
tinct drawbacks for any man who hopes
to sit on the highest judicial body in the
nation.
Further evidence that he is bad mater
ial for the bench is offered by the fact
that he is A years old. A young whip
pei oldppSI Inc Hill Can lell his
Blackstone from a Sears Roebuck cata-
logue.
Of course he is probably descended
from men and women who supported the
Lost Cause, and such an offense will
not be overlooked by the nations most
august legislative body.
Senator Norris and Senator Borah ad-
NIT that they know very little Of Judge
Parker confirmation. This is the first
time in history the two senators have ad-
mitted they did not know everything to
be known about anybody.
Having been on the L. S. circuit court
bench for five years, Judge Parker must
have lunched with a corporation attorney
some time or other. That is always a
good argument to bring up when the SEN
ate is called upon to confirm anyone. 1t
cheers the voters back home to know their

 Then the Washington fans off cial cant of Come on Goose" is pulling forth base hits this year Goslin, who lead the league slug gers in 1928, has started to find the ball with his vicious swipes.
 The old guard and the pitchers, however, are not bearing the en- tire load of the Washington sue cess. Buddy Myer, at second base and Joe Cronin, shortstop, are do- ing very well at making Washing ton forget the efficiency and po- tency of Roger Peckinpaugh and Stanley Harris.
 Myer once was traded by Wash ington to Boston for practically nothing in playing talent. He was got back for five good players. Dur ing the early games this year, he was among the first five hitters.
 Cronin, a skinny kid almost six feet tall never a 300 hitter in the majors, has proved up as one of the clubs most timely hitters. In a recent game between his club and the Tanks, Cronin hit a double triple and home run, to win almost singlehanded.
 If the club doesn't win another game all season it already has equalled it's record of last year with the Athletics. Last year it took the Senators season to win four games from the As. This year the trick was done in the first five.

 The Australian wheat season has closed with a harvest of approxi- mately l2O,OOo,oOO bushels.
