A. PROCLAMATION
By the Governor

Arizona, recognizing the value and benefits of the custom inaugurated by the State of Nebraska shortly after the Civil War, has decreed the ob- servance of Arbor Day and imposed upon the Governor the duty of setting aside two days Gone for the southern and the other for the northern coun- ties) on which appropriate exercises shall accompany the planting of trees, vines, shrubbery and flowers by the pupils of public and private schools.
 In the pursuit of knowledge there is a tendency to devote our time to those subjects calculated to equip us men tally for earning capacity, forgetting that cultivation of the esthetic is es- sentialy to a complete and we'll round- ed education and to the enjoyment of those things in life not measured by the standard of dollars and cents. Love of nature is inherent in every human being, but if not educated or lead out, it becomes dormant and at rophied. Nature cannot speak her varied language to those who have ears to hear and will not listen and eyes to see and will not look. To such a child or man there is no music of the spheres, no melody in the winds soughing through the pines. For him the birds do not chant a song of praise; there is no glory in the sun- rise or lesson of life in the sunset; the desert is merely barren waste and the Grand Canyon is simply a gi- gantic hole in the earth, instead of an awe inspiring colorful creation of the Master Painter and Architect. Ma ture has been prodigal with her gifts, but with our eyes to the ground in- stead of lifted upward to the everlast- ing hills, and the skies which declare the glory of their Maker, we miss the beautiful visions which have been created not alone for our mental de- lectation, but for the purification of our souls.
 It is therefore vital that our schools recognize the importance and necessi- ty of impressing upon the plastic minds of our children that through an understanding of Nature they are bet ter able to comprehend what is good and really worth while ,and become attuned to the Infinite, Arbor Day therefore has more than utilitarian signifigance and it is meet and prop CT that these deeper lessons should be diligently. pursued.
 Now Therefore, I Thomas E. Camp bell, Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me, and in conformity with the provisions of Paragraphs 2S37-2S4O, Chapter xxx of the Revised Statutes of Arizona, do hereby designate Friday and set apart, Friday the 9th day of Febru- ary, 1920 as Arbor Day, to be ob- served in the Counties of Cochise,

MAKING TARTAR|C
 ACID FROM COAL

Complete laboratory tests at Pitts burgh have demonstrated the fact that coal tar will yield largely of tartarlc acid. Heretofore tartar has been se- cured from grape must, being a res idue of the wine grape. As prohibl- tion has put the making of wine out of the question and grapes being too valuable for other food uses some oth- CT methd of making tartar had to be devided. Coal tar has been one of the most prolific of product producers of all mineral products, giving up many of the highest valued medical analgesics or antiquities, antipyrin, antifebrin and antikamina being the most important.

HARDING WIRES
TENNESSEE c. 0. P.
TO BACK SUFFRAGE
Expresses Earnest Hope"
of Support in Message to
Party Leader.
By the Associated Press.


MARION, Ohio, July 23.-'Earnest
hope" that republican members of the
Tennessee legislature will support
ratification of the woman suffrage
amendment was expressed today by
Senator Harding in telegram to
John c. Houk, a republican member
of the senate of that state.
The message was sent in reply to
one from Senator Houk asking for
advice and was as follows:
Il have your message asking me
II would advise that the republicans
of the Tennessee legislature vote for
ratification of the .woman's suffrage
amendment.
1T is my earnest hope that the re-
publicanS in the Tennessee legisla-
ture. acting upon solemn conviction,
can see their way clear to give their
support to this amendment. / be-
lieve in suffrage; our party has in
dorsed it in our national platform; ;
twenty-nine republican states have
ratified the amendment; but one more
is needed to enfranchise every loyal
American woman, and it would be
publican members of the Tennessee
legislature accomplished that enfran-
chiSement."
League Chief Contention.
Senator Harding's stand on the
in his speech formally accepting the
republican nomination for the presi-
dency, was expected today by his
managers here to furnish the chief
bone of contention during the next
stage of the political campaign.
Democratic demands that the candi-
date make a more specific exposition
of details of the proposed under
standing" are fully expected here, and
the senator's friends declare he will
be ready to answer. In that connec-
graph in the acceptance speech as
Indicating what trend his reply might
follow.
"If men call for more specific de-
tails, he said, Il remind them that
moral commitals are broad and all
inclusive, and we are contemplating
peoples in the concord of humanitys s
advancement From our own view
point the program is specifically
American, and we mean to be Amer
leans first, to all the world"
Leave Fight to Develop.
For the immediate future, however.
the feeling here is that the fight
should be left to develop along natu-
raj lines. His position on the league
and other issues before the country
and the strain of notification day
over, the candidate planned today to
rest. He had no important political
leaders on his calling list and he
hoped during the day to find time for
game of golf.
Although with the formal notifica-
ton yesterday the republican cam
paign technically opened. the nomi-
nee has no speaking date until
week from tomorrow, when the first
of the front porch addresses will be
delivered to delegation from Mans

States demand that this country send
men and munitions to the assist
ance of Poland or to the resistance
of the bolsheviki. upon whatever
ground the action might rest
In considering the proposition how
ever, Congress would not be bound by
any moral obligation previously EN-
tered into. and could approach every
phase of the situation from senti-
mental and altruistic angle or cold
bloodedly. as an act of self-preserva-
tion. as the case might be.
II is thought by politicians that the
object lesson thus presented will be
brought home to the voters in the
campaign. The republicans will defend
their reservation to article X, and it is
expected that the democrats will point
to the spectacle of the United States
being a gutter" in Europe's hour of
need.
The average voter. the politicians
say. will probably view the question
in the light of the practical problem
of whether he favors sending the boys
overseas again. and can balance that
suggestion against the arguments of
those who hold the United States still
to be morally bound to settle things
in Europe.

Aside from these two changes, the
cabinet remains the same.
The direct negotiations begun

conclusion in dealings with M
Tchitcherin, the bolshevik foreign
minister, through Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain. The pro-
posals were signed by Prince Eu-
gene Sapieha, the minister of for
