WHAT IS TO COME"
By William Ernest Henley

By William Ernest Henley
What is to come we know not. But
we know
That what has been was good
was good to show,
Better to hide, and best OF all to
bear.
We are the masters of the days
that were:
We have lived, we have loved, we
have suffered even So
Shall we not take the ebb who
had the flow?
Life was our friend. Now, if it be
our foe
Dear, though it spoil and break usI
need we care
What is to come?
Let the great winds their worst and
widest blow,
Or the gold weather round us mel
low slow:
We have fulfilled ourselves, and we
can dare,
And we can conquer, though we
may not share,
In the rich quiet of the after-glow
What is to come,

4-H CLUB MEMBERS
VISIT TEMPE FAIR

The Pinal County club
leaders and girls who visit
ed the All Club Fair of
Maricopa County at Tempe
last Saturday felt a new in
terest in living up to the
Club motto "To Make the
Best Better. All but one of
the Pinal County Clubs was
represented and that club
was kept away by illness.
Those attending were Miss
Beulah Murphy, Club leader
from Kenilworth; Guelma
Wolf, assistant club leader
of La Palma; Evelyn McFar-
land and Anna Lee Green
club girls from Picacho; and
from Casa Grande Velma
Woolpert and Mrs. Wells,
Pinal County Home Demons
tration Agent.
There was an interesting
program of demonstrations
in the morning, then a picnic
dinner on the campus, and
an opportunity to look at the
exhibits in the afternoon.
Both demonstrations and ex-
hibits showed that a large
amount of exceptionally fine
club work is being done by
girls and boys of Maricopa
County.
The Pinal County exhibit
and demonstrations will be
held in Casa Grande at the
Woman's Club house on Sat-
urday, beginning at 1000
O'Clock in the morning. The

WATER RATES ARE
REDUCED 50 PER CENT

At a meeting of the Water
Users board of governors last
Monday they approved a
budget for the 1931-1932
irrigation year calling for a
$3.50 per acre assessment as
compared to $500 assess
ment as compared for the
current irrigation year, the
greatest year-to-year reduc-
tion in the associations his
tory.
Board approval also was
given a new budget form Sc
gregating power and iTTiga-
ton expenses and for month
ly publication of a condens-
ed operating statement, both
designed to give sharehOld-
ers a better understanding of
how project funds are spent,
it was said.
While the current irriga-
ton year assessment is $500
payment of the final third
installment of 50 per acre
probably will be cancelled.
Heavy rainfall in the Salt

AUTO RUNS into A
SATURDAY MITE

The fatal railroad crossing
on Casa Grande and Flor
ence highway in East Cool
idge was again the scene of
an accident, identical to the
one several weeks ago where
j. L. Blose lost his life. The
train blocking the highway
crossing was approached by
a nephew of Mrs. Knoy
Parker who was unable to
see the train in time to pre-
vent a collision. The car was
damaged but the passengers
of the car were not seriously
injured. This seems to be a
dangerous crossing and some
thing should be done to pre-
vent any more accidents.

TRAIL BLAZERS OLD
TIMERS BALL SUCCESS

Exhibiting unrivaled vigor
and enthusiasm, upward of
200 trail blazers brought
the 18th annual Arizona
Pioneer Reunion to a roaring
climax last night and early
this morning in the perennial
closing event, the old-fashion
ed ball, held in the Shrine
auditorium.
For two days and one
night the pioneer men and
women gathered in Phoenix
had followed every detail of
a long firing program, but
they entered into the dance
last night with the determi-
nation and pep" which
characterized their empire
building in Arizona's early
days.
There was three-hour peri
cd for dinner and rest be-
tween the close of the meet
ing and the ball, which open-
ed with an enthusiastic rush
of pioneers to the dance
floor.

From 8 o'clock, when the
ball opened, until the early
hours of this morning, the
huge floor of the auditorium
was literally jammed. AL
though there were a few
friends present, virtually
every dancer wore the iden-
tification badge of the 18th
