YEAR OLD|CAMPBELL ElIDORSES' BOY MAY BE AMATEUR|PLANs FUR BUDGET GULF CHAMP TODAY SYSTEM FUR NATION

NEW YORK. Aug. 22-Endorsing the national budget committees campaign to secure the adoption by congress of a national budget system, Governor Thomas E. Campbell. yesterday issued a statement in which he said that he is hopeful of an appreciable saving through the medium of budgetary laws just enacted by the state of Ari- zona.
 The national budget committee, which now has branches in nine states of the union, intends to extend it's organization throughout the entire United States and plans to present to citizens facts showing the necessity for immediate economic reform.
 Members of the committee point out that for many years waste and ex- travagance have crept into the an nual appropriation bills by reason of the fact that estimates of govern mental expenses are prepared indi- vidually by each of the ten depart ments of government. The commit tee believes that a bureau of the bud get-a permanent organization of ex- perts-responsible either to the presi- dent or the secretary of the treasury. can save the government many hun dreds of millions of dollars annually by drawing up these estimates.
 It further believes that a single com mittee of each house or a joint com mittee of both houses should consider estimates in their entirety. At present money bills are distributed among fourteen committees of the house and fifteen committees of the senate.
 Governor Campbell said:
 @The campaign for a national budget launched by the National Budget Com mittee, meets with my approbation. and I am sure will eventually be fruit ful of results.
 No budget law was passed in Ari- zona in 1917. the bill introduced by Senator Wilkinson failing of passage However, in the meantime the finances of the state got into such condition that the legislators realized the neces- sity of such a system. and Senator Wilkinson introduced measure in the fourth Arizona legislature of 191s which received the sanction of both house and senate and by signature
 "At the present time the budget secretary is engaged in inaugurating the system, and before long I am hopeful that everything will he work ing smoothly and that an appreciable l saving will be effected"

PTTTSBURG, Aug. 22-Bobby Jones, the 17-year old phenomenon of Atlanta, or $. Davidson Heron of this city will be the 1919 national amateur golf champion before sundown tomorrow. The pair, the sole survivors of the f36 starters in the 23rd titular tourna- ment of the United States Golf as sociation. won their way to the final round by defeating W. (. Fewnes, Jr., of Pittsburg, and J. Wood Platt of Philadelphia, respectively. here late this afternoon Jones won from Fownes five up and three to play, while Her ron took Platt's golfing measure by a score of and 6.
 Not in the history of American golf has the championship ever been fought out in the final round by two such youthful opponents of the game. Heron is but a year or two past his majority. Neither has ever figured heretofore so prominently in strug- gle for a premier gold title of the coun- try, although Jones won the southern championship in 1917 when but few months over 15.
 Heron, although older than his rival, has less general golfing experience than Jones and for that reason many experts are inclined to the opinion that AtIanta's youthful star stands the bet ter chance of winning the champion ship mantle lost by Chick Evans on Wednesday.
 It was generally conceded that He-- ron played the best golf of the quartet competing in the semi-final round to- day His card for thirty holes played Q total strolxa Scora of 12o IS against 3 par of 124 for the same distance. Jones the other winner, took 142 against 2 par of 1S0 for his 32 holes. Platt, whe sprang into national prominence by his defeat of Quimet yesterday fell ctl again and showed 140 strokes agains par of 124 for the thirty holes ht carried Heron along before the lattel clinched the victory.

Gated ten of the barberry pests in
this town and that the owners have
shown willingness to remove them
Barberry is n cultivated ornament

spread OF stem rust OF wheat-the
worst disease of plants-and hence
the battle against II. Briefly describ-
ed. 1t. grows four to fifteen feet In
heighth. has spines or stickers in
groups OF threcs. leaves have saw
toothed edges, the fruit appears In
bunches OF red berries. A fungus
parasite lives alternately on barber

without barberry. and Is therefore
easily eradicated. The plant Is a nurs-

A census of the barberry in this state

The Japanese barberry, much

twenty million bushels from that

II Bowen should vote for CONSOLE

ed to have branch Of the county

This branch, because OF Its connec-
ton with the county high school
would be fully accredited in all state
institutions. Whenever the attend
ance would justify the establishment
at Bowen of four year accredited
