Carter Joy is another of our fre-quent fall-guy stand-bys who breaksinto poetry this week. Carter war-bles:

I willbuild me a house by the side ofthe road,

Where the automobiles pass by;I will find me a nook which is

screened from the cold,Where the road is never dry.

I will buy me a team of horsesstrong,

And hitch them fast to a chain.I will be on hand when the cars come

alongRight after the first spring rain.

I will watch the road from my shel-tered nook

Till the wheels get firmly stuck,Then I’ll saunter forth, with a friend-

ly look,And sing as a man in luck.

I will wait till every means they’vetried,

With blocks, jacks, chains andpower;

And when they are thoroughly satis-fied

I will chant: “This is my hour!”

Then I’ll bring my team with ropesand chains

And fasten them firm to the bar;I will pull from the mud the soiled

remainsOs an erstwhile beautiful ear.

But before they start on their wayagain

I’llcollect a handsome fee.They will surely remember the good

time whenThey were pulled from the mud by

me!>!

Yes, I’llbuild me a house by the sideof the road,

Where the automobiles go by.And I’ll earn in one spring enough

greenbacksTo last me till I die.

Arch Ude sends in the followinglittle poem, reminiscent in its style ofthe late Frank L. Stanton:

Just a’wearying for you,For a drink what would I do?Longing for it, wond’ring whenWe can have it back again,Thirsty, don’t know what to do,Just a’wearying for you.

Just to taste a schooner’s foam.Foot on rail and feel at home,Bubbles breaking in the glassAs they did of old, alas!Country’s dry and I’m dry too,Just a’wearying for you.

Every day I miss you more,Miss the sawdust on the floor,Miss the bottles in a row,Ice and shakers and—you knowIfwe had them what we’d do,Just a’wearying for' you.

Listless since you went away, .Dull, in everybody’s way,If I had you here tonightI’d go busted and get tight,Lots of other folks would too,Just a’wearying for you.

Evening comes, I miss you more,Thoughts of root-beer make me sore,Seems that thirst just can’t be curedAnd it cannot be endured.What the Hell then can I do?Just a’wearying for you.

Says Hopi IndiansNeed No Subways

No one who has seen the Hopi vißlages perched high# on their rockypromontories overlooking the dry butgorgeous Arizona cleaert can be sur-prised at the victory of the Hopi In-dian in the long-distance races. Hecomes from one of the toughest stocksin America, endowed with endurancethanks to the age-long battles withnature.

His people have always been good.runners. It is not uncommon for aHopi farmer to travel twelve or fif-teen miles to his corn patch and backin a day, and to do this day in andout. Unlike his neighbor the Navajo,he 'does not use horses but goes onhis own lightly shod feet. Thus froman early age he is trained to covdrdistance—and covers it at a speedwhich would be trying to most whitemen.

The New Heavyweight Challenger

His clirnate is at the same timekind and cruel. So scant is the rainthat he has trouble in raising a fewears of colored corn and his desertbeans and squashes. But it is alsoone of the most invigorating and

healthful climates in the world, sunnythroughout the year, with a cold, drywinter and a summer relieved by coolnights.

The Hqpis are true children of thedesert. Although they long since

ceased to be nomads, they have notacquired that softness which the des-ert tribes of Arabia say makes theweakness of the settled, peoples whohave become farmers in the oases.Even New Yorkers in such a climate,

In Which DickIs Some Sarcastic

Grand Canyon, Am..._

June 13, 1927.Editor, Coconino Sun,Flagstaff, Arizona.My Dear Editor:

| Once upon a time it was thoueht by

I many that a proper and sufficient! highway from a point on the NationaliNjld Trails highway to thq Grand Can| yon national park was a necessity andI would be a good thing for the state| and nation and all concerned.

Os course this was an absurd ideain the first place and now since theLees Ferry bridge may be built andthe North Rim of the Canyon sograndly featured, the idea of a roadon the South Rim fades into a mistyand distant future.

I wonder if you can advise what,if anything, is to be traded off in

order to secure a $1,300,000 roaci pro-gram for a highway to Zion nationalpark and Mt. Carmel?

You will recall that all efforts tosecure an appropriation, or even con-sideration of an appropriation, for aroad to the Grand Canyon nationalpark, met with, “You sell us the Trailand we will see what can be done.”

It may be that there would be achance to get a highway to the GrandCanyon on the South Rim if there wasa nice, big, rugged mountain to tun-

nel through and thus have added costsand scenery to be looked at through-windows in the tunnel.

Os course a tunnel could be run un-der Red Butte. If this was done, ashaft could be run to the top of the

Butte and with an elevator one houldgo to the summit and watch the sun-set and dance to the noise of a jazzyorchestra.

I believe that the reason for nohighway to the Grand Canyon na-tional park, on the South Rim, is thatbuilding such a highway is too simpleand inexpensive.

Yours very truly.R. P. GILLILAND.
