The Presidents Religion

some anxious souls who place great store by one religious denomination another and who would prefer of religion to one with a religion with which they are not affiliated. asking the news papers of the country regarding the accuracy of a story that President Wilson had joined the Knehts of Columbus We may say that it is not true and while engaged in setting things straight, we may anticipate and deny a rumor that may some time be afloat that the pope is Methodist exhorter
 The president is a Presbyterian is of Presbyterian birth and Presbyterian ancestry that he could be nothing else He came near being a Presbyterian minister. So he is disqualified for membership in the Knights of Columbus which is a strictly Catholic or sanization.
 This reminds US that not long ago there was q controversy in this city friendly one never reaching tho point of acerbity between Catholics and Presby regarding the religion of General Foch It was contended side that he belonged to the French Reformed church which as near Presbyterian ,s could be found in France. General Foch it has since been ascortaned, is Catholic and probably the story of his connection with the French Reformed church was started only for the purpose of making i appear that tho war was unanimously Presbyterian affair Ven Hindcnburg. it was known. a member of the German Reformed church which corresponds pretty cosey ;he Presby torian church. Iresiden. Wilson was Presbyterian. Field Marshal Haig was a oeyout member of tho Church of Scotland the most Prasb- ran of all Presbyterian churches and General Ie7shng was of Presbyterian inclination.
 All this however. makes little difference Among the effects of the and they many has been the levons Of those ominences which have separated one religious denomination from another Time within the last century had already accomplished a great deal in tho way Of erosion thc seems to have ieay completed Inc job All tho churches through their rep tcscniativcs at tho iron, covered themselves with ra. deal of glory.

The Need of Fort Grant

Whatever may be done about the industrial school. and there two bills looking its removal, thing should be done immediately for the unfortunate children who at Fort Grant. Until a final decision is reached regarding the future of the school (and there is little doubt that it's location will be un- changed) provision should be made for the decent housing of the inmates.
 new building is badly needed It is not credit able to the state that of the boys had to sleep in wash and wherever places however un- suitable could be found. From such vantage points the boys not likely to get favorable outlook upon life And it is for the purpose of giving them better outlook that reform schools established and main- tained
 There should also be a separation of the boys the younger whose evil impressions may be easily efface from the older boys who farther along the criminal road. We do not think money should be spared in this work. There many other places where stop-gaps may be installed

HELPS ENCOURAGE
 SCHOOL FARM WORK

Hon. Lysander Cassidy, formerly | director of the chamber of commerce, TOW legal adviser of the Federal Land Bank for the western states, has writ ten to Che Phoenix chamber of com merce enclosing a check for S100 for the encouragement of agricultural education in the schools of this coun- ty. Mir. Cassidy not only sends hls check for $10O for 1919, but has written that a similar amount will be forth coming for 1920 and 1921. which fact proves that MT. Cassidy believes that the lessons learned at school are of great importance.
 The United States Department of Horticulture, through the Agricultural extension service, is doing a great work through the Girls and Boys Clubs" These clubs were first or ganized in the south, and the fine re suits secured by boys and girls in growing cotton and corn were a sur prise to "grown-ups," and as a result boys and girls clubs have been or ganized all over the United States.
 Tn Arizona the work is under the direction of Leland Parke, and Mari copa county is taken care of by l.. B. OXley. Some very startling results have been obtained and now that the war is over these club leaders arc working through the schools in pushing this work to the utmost. There are clubs for the boys in cotton growing. corn growing, gardening, and COW test ing. There are also pig clubs, poultry clubs an dcalf clubs. For the girls there are sewing clubs and canning clubs, and poultry clubs.
 One thing that has been lacking previously to stimulate interest was g series of prizes. County Leader Oxley appealed to the chamber of commerce of Phoenix to help out in this matter and now through the generosity ot Mir. Cassidy the prizes have been sup piled.

4 SONG FOR HEROES
Edwin NIarkham)

X song for the heroes who the sign And took their place in the battle-line; They were walls of granite and gates of brass; And they cried out to God, They shall not pass," And they hurled them back in q storm of cheers And the sound will echo on over the years And a song for the end, for the glorious end. And the soldiers marching up over the bend of the broken roads in gallant France, The homing heroes who took the chance Who looked on life and with even breath Faced the winds from the sulfs of death. Their hearts running on over the graves over the battle -wrccks-over the waves Over the scared fields-over the foam On to America-on to home.
 And a song for the others, the heroes slain In Argonne Forest-in St. Gobain- Tn the nowery meadows of Picardy- In Belgium-in Italy
 From brave Montello to the sea- A song for the heroes gone on ahead To join the hosts of the marching dead song for the souls that could lightly fling Sweet life away little thing
 For the sake of the mighty need of earth, The need of the ages coming to birth. All praise for the daring God who gave Heroic souls that could dare the grave. Praise for the power He laid on youth To challenge disaster and for truth.
 What greater gift can the High God give Than the power to die that the truth may live! Glory to the Lord, the Hero of Heaven, He whose wounds in His side are seven Glory that He gathers the heroes home, Out of the rcd fields, out of the foam Gathers them out of the Everywhere,

CITY UNWILLING ID
 GIVE SCHOOL SITE County Authorities Ask Free Deed to Two Acres of
 Land for School

Agreement between City Commissioner
 John R. Hornady and County Superinten- dent of Education N. R. Baker in refer ence to the county obtaining a school site for the Union Hill building was not reached yesterday at the conference held by these officials. The county has pro- posed that the city grant two acres ot land from the city's aO0-acre tract in the Union Hill community in Shades Valley. The county argues that the city car well afford to give the land as the site and the building will revert to the city should this suburb ever become a part of
 Birmingham, which the county officials believe will come in the near future. Union Hill is one mile from the city limits.
 The city holds that the land should not be given to the county and at the same time offer the land to the county with the agreement that it revert to the city if abandoned, but it is understood the state does not provide aid for such a
 school, which is causing the county to
 seek a straight deed to the two acres desired.
 It is stated that the county desires the two acres for the purpose of erecting two-story modern frame school building which will be sufficient to take care of the school at the present time.
