proper observance it would have been
apropos, but whom he assumes to change
the usual and in many cases the already
prepared programs. and asks the people
TO adjourn Memorial Day and repair to
their respective churches for prayer, the
effect Of attempting to mix the exercises
is obvious. The two proprams cannot
be successfully combined.
The Sunday previous to Memorial
Day has always been observed much
in the manner recommended by the
President, in and by the churches and
by the G. A. R., which observance now
Is abolished by being changed to Memo
rial Day itself if the Presidents procla-
nation is obeyed, as it would be almost
absurd to have two special religious SER
vices within the esweek.
In this criticism we are not lmpugning
the motives of the President, only his
Judgment.
That This Memorial Day is fraught
with more anxieties than perhaps any
other memorial day IN our history is
very true. i should be especially OBJ
served by every loyal citizen. But the
usual and customary programs Of the
day give every citizen ample opportunity
to participate to the fullest extent pos
sible.

MUST REGISTER
 FOR COUNTY ELECTION

IL has been suggested to the Review that perhaps the apparent slOwness of voters in getting their name on the county great register may be at tributable to a misunderstanding on the part of the delinquents. The fact that one was registered for the city election in Bisbee will not entitle that person to vote in September unless they are also registered for the state and county election.
 Another important thing regarding registration in this city is the neces- sity for registering in the precinct where the voter resides. Several new voting precincts have been created this year in Bisbee and the old pre- cpct numbers. if adhered to now in registering will cause confusion and inconvenience on election day.
 The, time for registration for the primary election in September is pass ing and any voter who has not yet registered should look up a registra- tion officer and attend to this matter if they have a desire to vote for any of the candidates who are seeking nominations.

ROOF PAINT IS GOOD
 FOR WOUNDS IN TREE

Many orehardists and tree surgeons have found that the best and most economical way Of treating tree wounds of all kinds is to cover them with roof paint It is easy to apply and farmers throughout the country have used it with benefit in the treat mcnt of abrasions, cuts and grating It is heavy enough in body 10 form thick coating over the wound thus preventing insects and the elements from harming the. tree. It is also very easy to apply.
 X professional tree surgeon and pruner who is taking care of some 10000 trees, writes enthusiastically about it for use on citrus trees. vIt is," he says. the hest thing I have ever used or heard e. and beng % wei satisfied | hCfriily recommend OrOnite roof paint to any and all orch ardists who may be interested in such a paint"
 The use of this paint is undoubtedly the best, most convenient and eco nomical way of healing abrasions of trees. and it greatly prolongs thelr l life and prOductiveness.

WARREN RANCH NOW
 HARVESTING CROPS

MT. Holman of the Warren ranch brought the Review a box of assorted vegetables yesterday that might be en- tered in a state fair exhibit with fair show of success. Every product of the garden was represented in this big box. There were beans and tomatoes and cucumbers and sweet corn and onions and cabbage and on down the green line of the garden detenses be- hind the battle lines. Why any War ren district pilgrim who has car and a gallon of gas should worry about fresh vegetables when they grow in such variety and profusion so close to his door is hard to understand.
 The Warren ranch may not be able to supply the district with vegetables but it can provide more than few "messes" fresh from the vine, accord ing to Holman, who is naturally proud of his big gardens.

CLEAN UP CRUSADE.

The restaurants, ice cream parlors. barber shops, etc, in the Warren dis trict were visited yesterday by repre- sentatives of the government, City and county health officers and given or ders to clean up. The government rep resentative was Dr. Miller, connected with Camp Harry Jones. Dr. Brown for the city and Dr. Hunt for the coun- ty made the rounds with him. Notices were posted in all places where foods and drinks were sold and there prom ises to be something doing if the places are not kept up to standard. A record will be kept of the places and the percentage of cleanliness posted and published from time to time. The percentage obtained by some yester- day was not very high.
