REGAIN HEALTH
Desert Colony in Arizona
Handicapped by Inade
quate Water
SALOME,, Arte., ApTil 7 Out
on the Harqua Hala desert, tar
from the conveniences of a mod
ern elty. nearly four score dis
abled veterans of the World war
are making a valiant fight to re
gain the health lost in their
country's service. These men
hare practically cut themselves
off from civilization, calmly ae-
. ceptlng the rigors of the desert
in the hope that they will eventu
ally win their way to health- The
settlement which they hare
formed on the desert coyer a
wide range some of the families
living as far as 75 miles apart
Road Facilities Poor
Travelling facilities are far
from good. Considerable work has
been done by the men In road
improvement but it is of little aid
as the highways are continually
subject to being washed away. In
many Instances the roads have
been entirely disregarded and
travel has followed a general di
rection through the desert, hun
dreds of pathways weaving
through the cactus between the
settlement and Hassayampa.
-There is little opportunity to de
velop property because of the
shortage of water. Some garden
ing is done for home use but for
the most part the men ar.e content
Just to rest there,; taking; life easy
and seeking to regain' their health.'
Government compensations af
ford them a meager living.
The community life took on a
new note recently with the organ
ization of a post of the American
Legion. The names of 16 veterans
appear on the charter granted by
the state department of the post,
and all but four are rated as
permanently disabled veterans.
The organization of the Legion
post was made possible through
the construction of a community
hall. The veterans have had.no
opportunity to hold any general
gatherings save those with the sky
as a roof. None of the shacks or
houses were large enough to ac
commodate more than a half-dozen
at a time. The Legion post
- and the community hall Is expect
ed to do much to aid in the social
welfare of the settlement.

PRUNING
Spring pruning of tha hardy
roses should be dona before the
growth starts. Catting back the
late blooming hyaranrea panlcu
lata will encourage new, Tlgor
our growth and larger flowers.
The Rosa ot Sharon, butterfly
bush and snowberry also may be
cut back In spring. While the
leaves are still off the shrubs old
wood ean be readily seen and re
moved and the plants thinned
where desirable. A general cut
ting back of the spring-blooming
shrubs, such as splrea. is not rec
ommended. Ton will lose the
blossoms of you do. Better wait
until after the blossoms are gone
and then prune,
The walls or barriers Separat
ing the garden from the rest of
the grounds may aften be Of plant
materials. Plants used In- this
manner ean be very effective in
serving as a screen and providing
a truly beautiful element in the
general landscape scheme. The
barrier may itself become a pic
ture. Where strict formality Is de
sired.; It ean also be obtained in
plant materials, if the varieties
which can be clipped are used.
12 PERMITS IN
WEEK fJOW PAST
Total Sum of $20,855 Is
Granted; Hunt Bros.
. to Add Office
The week just ended was not
outstanding in building activity,
no construction ot great import
ance being started, yet the Issu
ance of 12 permits built up a total
of $20,855 for the first week of
the month. .
The. larger Items were the of
fice building at the Hunt Bros,
cannery, $6000, and the addition
to Sam Ado!phS building on Com
mercial street, estimated to cost
$4500.
The week's total was below the
March average, hut April is cer
tain to surpass .March, for the
reason that at least two permits
will be issued In the coming week
for costly buildings, and others
are due to come In before the
month ends. The permits ex
pected to he Issued this week are
for .the Pi E. P. company build
ing and the D. B. Jarman resi
dence, plans for both of which
had been announced previously.
Residence construction Is also
picking up, and permits for new
homes will add to the large totals
which the major projects will
assure.
A man's house is his castle, hut
his front yard, in a sense, belongs
to the public. At least, In most
American homes,' the front lawns
are open to the view of the pas
serby. This manner "of sharing one's
grounds with the public has be
come so common ana universal
it can be considered typically
American.
