Sermon by the Pastor; Subject
LICKING into the New Year."
: 7:45 P. M. In place of the regular
evening services the Canatat. "The
Salvation of Israel" will be given by
the choir. This cantata was advertis
ed for last week, but on account of a
series of punctures to an automobile
which had, among other passengers,
one of the bass soloists and the lead
ing soprano soloist, the cantata was
postponed to this week. The public
is cordially invited to attend and those
especially who were present last Sun
day evening are urged to attend again
and are assured that the cantata will
be given without fail.
A collection was taken up last Sun
day evening, amounting to $4,000 in
all, for the benefit of the Armenian
sufferers. This amount was a great
delight to the choir which had been
practising steadily for the benefit Of
this cause, and seemed so generous
that it has been decided not to ask
any special offering this week at the
cantata, but merely take up the or
dinary evening offering.

GOV. TOM CAMPBELL AND OTHER
CANDIDATES VISIT SNOWFLAKE

The governors remarks were
principally in regard to state
lands and, among other things,
he said on this subject:
Il have been criticized by the
big cattle interests of the state
because of my insistence that
the heritage of the people of
the state, the public domain,
shall be preserved and admins
tered in behalf of the people in
stead Of in the selfish interests
of the few.
DO you know that 1000, 900
acres of the peoples land is held
under rulings of the state land
board by 25 of the big cattlemen,
and that this vast tract, by
virtue of the land commission
er's policy of releasing these
lands to the present leasers be-
fore the original leases expire,
is virtually held by these inter-
ests in perpetuity, from which
the state derives a rental of but
3 cents an acre? And that
thousands of the most valuable
acres of the state land have
been sold at SO an acre?
Under the present SYSTEM"
continued the governor, these
lands are classed by the COM
missioner as grazing lands and
appraised at a sale value of SO
an acre. or a rental value of 3
cents an acre, and then leased
and released, as stated. on this
basis without further appraisal.
although in the meantime much
of this so-called grazing land
may be raising splendid crops.
Il believe that the state lands
should be so administered that
the small farmer, the little cat
tie grower or sheepman. and the
homesteader, may have equal
opportunity with the big cattle
barons and large cattle compa-
MES. to the end that, in the
years to come when this state is
no longer able to boast of it's
mineral wealth and that time
comes in the history Of every
mining state Arizona, like Col
orado and other of the western
states, may be an agricultural
region, with the prosperity and
contentment usually found in
agricultural states.

nary remarks that since t h e
town was incorporated two years

tinguished gentlemen TO tn e
best town, in the best county, in
the best state in the union, "
which brought forth a round of
applause.
Messrs. Gailbraith and Estill

short but convincing talks re-
garding their candidates., both

uuets at Snowflake and the peo-

Everything Ready for
Prescott Fair Next Week

Especial TO the Herald by u.
NJ. Sparkes.)
Prescott is we'll prepared to
care for the many visitors who
will go to the Northern Arizona
State Fair, which will be held
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
October 18th, 18th and 18th.
The entertainment features are
such as should attract the larg-
est crowd ever attendant upon
this fair. The educational in
spirations to be gathered at this
fair are worth the journey of
hundreds of miles. Low excur-
sion rates will be in effect from
all points in Northern Arizona.
Thousands of dollars will be dis
tributed in prize money for ex-
hibits. The racing program at
the grounds is attracting horse
men from Colorado, New Mex
leo, Utah and all sections of Ari-
zona. The fastest program to
be run at this fair will mark the
1920 fair. Ford automobile races
each day will give plenty of fun
and excitement to those desiring
the more strenuous lines of sport.
Under the auspices of th e
American Federation of Art, a
collection of forty three master
pieces will be exhibited by the
Art department. This collection
h as recently been shown at
Stanford University and at
many of the larger institutions
of learning on the Pacific Coast.
The Northern Arizona State
Fair Association iii presenting
this collection to the visitors of
the fair, believe it is rendering
a tangible and helpful service in
spreading the knowledge of art
to the residents of Northern Ari-
zona. which are remote from art
centers. The collection is valued
at 100000.
Copies of the prize list and
rules, containing complete infor-
nation as to classes of exhibits,
prizes to be awarded, and pro-
gram can be had free by address
ing the Association at Prescott.
Remember the three big days
and make it a point to be pres
emf.

AMERICA AT SEA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28th.-An
"American merchant marine" -the
American flag in every port" and
American ships for American goods,
and passengers" has been the wall
that has gone up in the press and
Congress for twenty years. And now
that America has by war acquired the
greatest ships in the world, she does
not know what to do with them.
Here, England, take these German
liners was the import of the po-
sition by the Shipping Board Asked
why, Chairman Payne said that the
United States, with prohibition, could
not operate passenger ships in COM
petition with the carriers with booze
aboard. Oh, shades of the Titanic,
the drunken orgy that sank you, has
failed to convey it's lesson!
The United States came into DO
session of great fleets Of ships suit
able for freight carriers The wall
has been answered, and a merchant
marine, our flag in every port, and
American ships for American goods
and passengers are in our keeping
But if half one hears in Washington
is half-true the Shipping Board is
making mess of things in operating
our new-found ships, and the failure
is even worse thon those recorded in
the public operation of the railroads
and wire lines.
Unfortunately American ship own
ers have not been developed to any
great extent, and American capital is
slow to enlist in the business of the
seas.
The United States evidently has a
big problem on hand, and what we
have been doing in solving that prob
lem to up date does OF reflect any par
ticular amount of credit upon US.
