FLAG DAY IN GLOBE

Monday, June 14, will be the 132nd anniver- sary of Old Glory as our national emblem The lodge of Elks throughout the world, recogniz- l ing the importance of this anniversary, have caused to be inscribed special rtualistic exer- cise-broad and patriotic and the locals throughout Elkdom, joining with the people in their home cities, will give expression to the heartfelt sentiment of a free and united people
 The Elks' form and ceremony is beautiful and appealing. It absorbs the pure essence of all that patriotism has promulgated all that love of liberty could prompt. They hold the day not as Elks day. but as a day when loyalty to the red, white and blue emblem may give un- hampered expression, and in canticle and in note and in word, fill the heart with the inspira- ton that the waving star spangled banner should produce. And from that inspiration shall come indelibIe, imperishable fealty, to the flag of the greatest nation i'll the world.
 Today in every remote corner of the earth where knowledge of the United States of Amer lea has penetrated, our flag has come to stand for liberty and equality liber,y in thought and equality of opportunity the only kind of liberty and equality that, at the same time, is practi- cable and serves the ends of justice. To the land over which Old Glory throws its shadow have come people from many foreign shores to find here the freedom that was not to be had in their own country.
 Gradually, these people have become one with the native born Americans in thought and in terest.
 Where, under the sun, does a similar condi- ton existi
 In what kingdom or republic has this miracle of welding together people of so many different nations been paraleedf
 Nowhere, so far as current knowledge ex- tends.
 Is Flag Day not then worth commemorating, and that, too with all the ardor and enthusiasm of which our natures are capablei
 There Is but one answer-yes.
 So that on this day. they should at the Elks 7 exercises have a chance to gaze on the Stars and Stripes and experience that thrill of pride and patriots mthat it always inspires.
 Our public and private buildings should wear the colors that so many of our forefathers have fought under and suffered for
 All local societies should join in honoring Old Glory.
 Our theaters should inject all possible nation al spirit and patriotism into their shows.
 And the loyal fighting citizen body that is making Globe grow should applaud, and heart fly too, this effort.
 On this day we lay aside all petty differences and, in unison, show that the old, old slogan, United we stand divided we fall" holds good just as surely as it ever has in our national history

Big Killers and Little Killers
From the Pittsburg Post.

iN"h thc iteopuiS osb.
 The terrors of the jungle are no more real or complicated for the big killer comparatively speaking, than. are the risks which the amateur sportsman with Flobert rifle encounters shooting amid the irritable owners of pets and frag- ile property. The charge of the copper is as hair-raising as the rush of any other maddened beast. And Bwana Tumbo doesn't regard publicity with feelings any more mixed than his small boy imitators. Both are scientists, seeking knowledge in the same way. Roosevelt is all right, of course. The boys gre all wrong. But where s the difference in principle.

HISTORY OF ARIZONA

That Mulford Winsor, who was appointed historian of Arizona by the last territorial leg islature, is to visit Globe for the purpose of collecting historical data concerning the early settlement of this section and the hardy pio- neers who effected it, is indicated by letter recently received by Judge Hnson Thomas of the local police court. That the historian will find this city rich in subject matter for his work and the older residents of the city ready and willing to cooperate with him in his efforts to place the facts about Arizona's settlement be fore the public is certainty.
 Such work is doubly praiseworthy in that it will correct many erroneous impressions about the territory and bring the general public to a realization of her truly wonderful resources, thus creating sentiment favorable to state hood.
 The letter received by Judge Thomas fol lows:
 ''The last Arizona legislature, desiring that the names of Arizona's brave pioneers should be perpetuated, and that their heroic achieve ments by which this territory was carved out of the desert might be preserved, created the office of Arizona Historian. To the writer fell the honor of inaugurating the work compre hended by the legislative act. It IS my duty to collect compile and prepare for publication the data for a complete and accurate history of the territory.
 ''Inasmuch as you are one of the territory's early residents, and have been closely identified with its material progress have no doubt you can describe many important incidents which have come within your personal knowledge. If you would do this you would at once render me a wonderful assistance give to the territory a valuable service, and insure to the memory of the hardy pioneers who braved the early peris of your portion of the territory the honor so richly deserved
 ''It is my intention, at some future date not yet determined, to visit Globe, and hope that it will, at that time, be my good fortune and pleasure to meet and talk with you, but in the would appreciate it very much if you would let me hear from you with such sug- gestions of assistance as you feel disposed to make, and, if possible, with some manuscript information regarding early events of histori. cal interest with which you may be familiar.
