Show South Tract Review Say! brother and sister correspondents, cor-respondents, have you seen anything any-thing of Mr. Davis, the Editor and publisher of The Chronicle lately? I have been playing hooky on him lately, shamefully and I am almost afraid to meet him for fear he will ask some very leading questions ,but the fact is I went with a party from the South Tract, namely Mr. and Mrs. Hire, Mr. and Mrs. Hardin, Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Whitmore, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson and Mr. and Mrs. Beck to Oak Creek Canyon, and that is where all my disloyalty to the Chronicle began. Why it was such a glorious place to go during dur-ing this hot weather, and we had such a fine place to camp, and we had such a fine crowd to camp with, that I just drew my breath away back in my lungs and almost said, "Darn it," but I didn't, tho I made a solemn resolve re-solve right then and there that I would never go back to the flat again and be badgered by cultivating culti-vating and watering beets, by-harvesting by-harvesting and thrashing grain, by the general run of fall work, and perhaps meet Mr. Davis right in broad daylight and not be able to explain why things were thus. But the upshot of the whole thing was, that Bill Evans and Charlie Harding ate so bloomin' much that by the end of a week we ran out of grub, and when I got right good and hungry and nothing in sight to eat, I had to reconsider my resolution re-solution and hike for home where I was sure I could get something to satisfy the inner man. So here I am and everything every-thing is all right, but I havn't run across Mr. . Davis yet, so my major troubles are still staring me in the face. However, I must make the best of it and I find since my fall from grace with the Chronicle that so many things have happened that it is impossible to bring them up in perfect order. But one thing is sure and that is that there has been two big "doin's" at A. C. Mulvaney's. The first was the O. Z. O. occasion and the second was the neighborhood social given giv-en by the South Tract Bachelors, which was a success in every way, both as to program and refreshments. re-freshments.

Mr. and Mrs. Beech actually attended at-tended one of our Socials when held at Mr. Hall's. Mr. Jo. Fidel Fi-del has gone to the old home in Colorado to see his mother who is seriously ill.
