DESIGNATES SUNDAY, OCTOBER FIFTH, 1919, AS
 AMERICANIZATION DAY
Executive Department State of Arizona

i Executive Department State of Arizona
 l.. Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 22, 19. To the People of Arizona:
 No more important opportunity for public service offers itself than the Americanization of those foreign-born residents who may now be citizens or have declared their intention to be- come citizens. For the welfare of the Republic it is necessary that they shall be made to understand why the English language must be their lan- guage. To insure that they shall be- come civic assets of value, they must be taught how our constitution insures to each of them the same chances for progress and for development socially, morally and physically, as are open to every other citizen, and assures them permanency in the possession of any property they may lawfully ac- quire. They must be made to realize why Americans insist upon general education. They must be shown the difference between liberty and license.
 Every good citizen will see the nec- essity for his assisting in this work in every way that is open to him. Some can help with money, some can help with service. Employers can help with the men on their payroll. Unions can help by devoting thought to the better education of their for eign born members. The churches can help through the teaching of their pastors. In fact, every social organ ization, secret society, club and busi- ness association can do something to- wards this movement which will, ulti- mately, prove Americas best insur- ance against serious social disturb ances.
 Now, therefore, I, Thomas E. Camp bell, governor of the state of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, and for the better and more thorough discussion of this vital problem, do designate and set aside Sunday, October 5, 1919, as "Ameri- canization Day" I would urge thai on that day all the churches of the state devote at least one service to an amplifcation of the great need we have for the work at our hand I would further urge that they unite in calling attention to meetings to be held in that community later in the week and that all unions, organiza- tions and other associations, social and business, be urged to unite at such meetings in perfecting plans to better citizenship.
 In Witness Whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.
 Done at Phoenix, the state capital, this 22nd day of September, 1919.
 THOMAS E. CAMPBELL, (Seal.) Governor of Arizona.

(By Albert B. Reagan.l

MT. and Mrs. John Wetheril, Miss Ida Wetheril and Ventress Wade left August 30 by auto for return trip to Mancor and Montezuma Valley, Colo, and Pennington, N. M., via Chin Lee and Ft. Defiance to Gallup, N. M., where they were to meet Dean Cummings of the state university. From Gallup, Miss Wetheril and Ven tress are to accompany the Dean to the university, where they will take a business course this winter. From Gallup, MT. and Mrs. Wetheril intend to visit Albuquerque. Then, after the return to Kayenta, Mrs. Wetheril will leave the first part of October for Tucson, where she will be employed this coming winter in listing curios in the archaeological department of the university.
 Fletcher Corrigan entered on his work in one of the Hubbell stores on the mesa. Here's good luck to Fletch.
 Word has just been received that Mrs. Lulu Wetheril has been rendered the chairmanship of the Roosevelt Ladies' Memorial Association for Ari- zona. Good for Kayenta.
 Julian Buckbee returned from trip to the California beaches recently. He reports fine time. He also saw the big U. s. fleet and believes that the Kaiser's forces had hunch of it's powerfulness and some other power full things, and that is why they threw up the sponge last fall. On his return he left his daughter Harriet at the Normal school at Flagstaff. But he brought back with him a large chunk of tan and improved health.
 Jack Harbison, of the Babbitt firm of Flagstaff, was here the first of the month looking over the range and en- deavoring to see if he could get sight of some of their cattle that strayed off last year about the time of the coming of the "flu."
 Walter Runke, superintendent of the western Navajo agency at Tuba City, was here from September 4 to 2, on official business, principally con nected with getting the Indian chill dren to return to school this fall, the school having been closed a year on account of the "flu," and the fact that nine Indians died in the school. His work in talking to the Indians in con

junction with the work of other em- ployees and the kindness of the field people and other whites at Kayenta is having good results. A house in which a death has occurred is called "chindi-hogan" by the Navajos, that meaning a "devil hogan" These must be deserted or destroyed as no people have greater dread of ghosts and mortuary remains than the Maya jos. Yet, at this writing, notwith- standing that nine deaths occurred in the school and plant last year, the school is being filled up. Who says the Navajo is not becoming civilized ? MT. Runke was accompanied by En- gineer Sianz, who acted as auto man. He also brought with him Clarence Taptuka and his wife Nora,, two edu- cated Hopi Indians who are to take the positions of cook and laundress and assistant at Marsh Pass school. He left September for Tuba City ac- companied by his chauffeur and Mrs. Julian Buckbee, who was on her way out to visit her daughter Harriet at the Normal school at Flagstaff.
 John Schwarz arrived in Kayenta September 5 to take up his position as stockman, which he held here be- fore being drafted. He was many months in Sunny France, but says Kayenta is the preferable place.
 September was the opening day of all the U. s. Indian schools throughout the U. s. It was celebrat- ed here by a regular Kansas gully washer" It rained 71a hours and over 3 1a inches of rain fell. ~
 MT. Straus, who is superseded by MT. Schwarz as stockman, started to move his family and household goods to Tuba City preparatory to transfer ring same to Junction City, Kans., where he contemplates taking charge of the poor farm. He was aided in his moving by Mir. Schwarz, but they were driven back by the storm. They succeeded in getting away the next day. Mrs. Straus will go on to Kan sas immediately, but MT. Straus will remain until the roads are repaired, which will probably take until some time in November.
 Missionary Segar returned from a conference September 10. He looks forward to a successful year in his field, and will, moreover, be able to make many needed improvements about the missionary plant. The Sun day school held September IA was we'll attended.

BIG JAIL DELIVERY
 OVER AT ST. JOHNS

About dark last Sunday evening, two prisoners-Ben Foster and ne gro--who were supposed to be safely confined in the county jail, escaped, and they have not been seen or heard from since, although the alarm was given soon after the men had gotten out, by another prisoner who was in the jail.
 An inspection of the jail showed that the outside bars had been re- moved from the outside, and it is now thought that the negro, who was a "trusty," had done the work during the day time when he was outside at work.
 Foster is charged with grand lar ceny while the negro was convicted of petit larceny and was serving out a 90-day jail sentence. = St. Johns Herald.

THE LUCKY GUY

"Did ever tell you about little incident that occurred when l was overseas? It was this way:
 "A captain and myself got in the habit of visiting two French sisters at their home. Their names were Ina and Marie. They seemed to think lots of us, and always entertained us right royalty. They were fine musicians and always played for us. Also on one occasion they brought some of their best wine from the cellar-no one in France would think of enter taining any one without serving him with wine. Neither the captain nor myself were used to alcoholic drinks; and, as the young ladies were persist ent, we soon had imbibed too much Seeing that it was getting the best of us, we excused ourselves and tried to get to our quarters. We had a narrow suspension hand bridge to cross, and by the time I got to it my legs would not support the weight of my body; but my head was clear. The opposite was true with the captain; he could walk all right; but his head was in a whirl. So, acting as the brains, I had him carry me across the bridge and we got to our quarters without mishap, by my leaning on him for support all the way. But, unluck- fly, the captains boisterous voice gave us trouble later.
 "The next morning the captain was hauled up for being drunk. At the hearing he stated that he had not been drunk, and he further stated that he was with me at the time he was charged with being intoxicated.
 "Soon an officer was interrogating me. His only question was:
 "'Were you with Captain Blank last evening between 2 and 10 o'clock?'
 "'Yes,' was my positive and truth ful statement.
 "In fifteen minutes the captain was acquitted of the charge and was again with me. Although had been so drunk that I could not walk except with his support, and had to be car ried across the bridge by him, was not even suspected of having imbibed Somehow, I've always been lucky"

cold sweat formed in great beads on my forehead and froze. A sudden though struck me. I took one of the cold sweat beads from my forehead and priming my gun with powder, loaded it with the frozen sweat. Then I fired. But horrors! The burning powder melted the ice bullet; but on leaving the muzzle of the gun, it froze again into an icicle with dart end. This penetrated the skull of the lion. Again I was out of luck. The warmth of the beast melted the icicle. but, in turn, I was in luck. The beast died of water on the brain."

DEAD; NOT DECEASED

A negro was having an inquiry sent about some mail he had lost in transit In his bill of particulars describing the lost articles which was being writ ten down for him by the postmaster of the complaining station, he stated among other things that one of the items lost was picture of his wifc who was then dead, and that he hated to lose it for that reason. After hear ing the statement, the postmaster wrote:
 Among other things lost, was the picture of complainant's. deceased wife"
 Upon hearing the statement read, the colored man exclaimed:
 "That ain't right. My wife, she's not diseased; she am sure dead! Yes, deadw

WHO WOULD WEIGH THE COAL?

Brothers John and Alexander Tomb ran butcher shop in our town. Once during revival upheaval in that sec tion John got religion and got to tes- tifying in the church that he was sanctified. He was also an energetic worker to win souls to the Christian faith. He made the rounds of the town in this work. Finally, he came to his brother Alexander's home and without ceremony accosted him:
 Brother Alex, you should join the church and get sanctified as am. You know your soul is lost unless you change your life" L
