has been laid and the trains will be
running between Gi1a Bend, on the

Pursuant to a aoommendable GUS
tom, I urgently recommend that
Arbor Day, as above designated,
be observed in the public schools
and other institutions Of learning
through the holding Of appropriate
exercises and the transplanting of
trees, shrubs and vines In public
grounds and along common
thoroughfares, so that the herit-
age handed down to US by our fore
fathers may be transmitted with
enhanced beauty and value to pos
terity. In view, moreover, of the
important relation of all bird life
to the public welfare, it is advocated
that Arbor Day be made the occa-
sion for inculcating in the minds of
growing generatione the impera-
tive necessity of afording protec-
ton to such feathered creatures as
are naturally the allies of mankind
in destroying insect pests and in
adding to the pleasantness Of hu
man existanee.
In recognition, furthermore, Of
worthy campaign inauguarated by
the Arizona Federation Of Wo
mems Clubs, it is earnestly urged
that the week, January goth to

April 3rd to April 8th, 1916, both

above designated for the northern
aud southern counties, respective
ly, shall be formally termed can

the occasion for a concerted effort
ou the part Of civic organizations
and public spirited citizens and in
dividually toward the cleansing Of
public places and private estates,
whether Municipal or rural, to the
end that sanitary conditions may
be established by the elimination
Of such filth and rubbish as ordin-
arily form agencies for the dis
semiuationsof disease. It is, also,
strongly recon mended that the
observan ce OF "Annual Cleanup
| Week" whereby the health and
happiness Of the people of Arizona
should be immeasureably promoted
shall receive the support and co,
operation Of State, County and
Municipal health officers, and ell
those public institutions which Gus
tomarily participate IN the celebra-
ton Arbor Day.

PREPARING TURKEY
FOR PRESIDENT WILSON

Providence, r. L., Nov. 24-If a
Kentucky-bred turkey graces the
White House table this THANKSGIVING
Day, it will have to ''go some" to
beat out the Rhode Island gobbler
that is now being fattened in prepar-
alton for shipment to Washington.
Last year the Blue Grass state won
out, owing to lack Of competition, but
this year Little Rhody is entering the
lists again with complete confidence
it will furnish the grasshopper-fed
bronze, Narragansett breed bird for
the Thanksgiving dinner Of the Presi-
dent and his family.
Rhode Islanders have been a little
touchy on the subject of Presidential
turkeys ever since 1858, when Grant
was in the White House. Horace
Vose, the Rhode Island Turkey
King began the custom Of provid-
ing a prize bird as the center of the
Chief Executives holiday meal. From
the year that Mr.. .Vose began the
custom of sending Thanksgiving
turkey to Washington, Presidents who
enjoyed his gifts included Grant,
Hayes. Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland,
Harrison, Mckinley, Taft and Wilson,
ten in all.
Mr.. Vose died two years ago and
the custom he had inaugurated was
