The other day he thought he would try out hla color scheme, so he ordered some of the Washington city wjsgona painted red. Evidently his order was given to an aesthete, not one of the new Munich school of painters, for when the wagons were lined up in front of the peat office building, they were of a nice, sweet, wine color. Then Mr. Hitchcock, to keep lh harmony wfth hla views, got redheaded and ordered the offending wagons back to the paint shop to be painted RED. And that's what they are.

CHEAPER FUEL NEEDED. (lasoline costs $1 a gallon In Panama, but that extravagant price I only a temporary infliction the aulomobiltsts on the isthmus must bear.

THE MOTHER-IN-LAW SECRET.

A woman knows that her son

should marry, that It Is part of the

scheme of nature lhat he should

marry and found a home and family

of his own.

She also knows that It la best for him to marry, that he Is likely to he a better man, to be healthier, happier and morfe prosperous if he does marry. Nevertheless, In her secret soul she hopes and prays that he won't marry, and that she will never have to go through the agony of seeing htm love

some other woman better than he does her. This is the secret for the strife between mothers-in-law ami daughters-in-law. .They are hereditary foes before ever the daughter-in-law Is born. Vou can't blame the mother and when daughter-in-law gets sons of her own she will tmderstand.

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 3. Persona who hlnk of Arizona as a barren desert

waste, with nothing to break the monotony of aan exo pt an occasional cactus or sage busii will have to revise

heir opinions. The impression mlKht

have been Justified a few years ago. But things have changed since Uncle 8am got busy maklna; irrigation ditches. "Americans must abandon

nearly all of their former ldas regard

ing this state, and learn the true situa

tion," la the way Governor Hunt puts It.

The. accompanying pictures, taken

in the Fait III ver Valley district, gIVe some Idea of the change that has taken place. One shows vividly the desola

tion of two years ago. Tlie others arej recent photographs. The row of "farm bowses" sprung up almost overnight on a desert; The magic of the irrigation dam keeps the lawns and shade trees green and makes to flourish the croopa which have paid for these handsome bungalos. The dam also supliea electrical power of 20,000 H. P. With this tho streets and houses are lighted, and the Cooking lb each house la done lh an electrical kitchen. The Irrigated orange grove shown

in one of the pictures is typical. There

are hundreds like it in Arisona. The

desert aand, filled with silt washed up

on it by a thousand former freshets, I

moisture la supplied. It doesn't take long for ah orange grove to pay for

Itself in Arizona.

The Salt Rlrer project, which serves 130,000 acres at present and wilt probably soon serve more, is but one of several In Arzoha. Recently the Colorado River project at Yuma, reclaiming at once 150,000 acres, was dedicated. It 1 believed that fully 350,000 acres ot desert land wilt have been reclaimed near Tuma when Uncle Sam has finished hla work In that vicinity.
