When you think of the millions and mil

few thousand of them might be spared
without vital loss to the nation.
The people those speeches were address,

to send them. The intended recipients
probably wouldn't have read the speeches
had they arrived. The candidate probably
mailed the speeches under the franking

TELLS WHY ARIZONA
 SCHOOLS RANK HIGH

Why Arizona schools rank third among those of the 4s states of the na- tion was told yesterday to the Kiwanis club at it's weekly luncheon by H. F.. Hendrix, superintendent of schools of Mesa The standing, he explained, was judged upon ten points, five deal ing with purely educational matters, attendance, proportion of youngsters of high school age in school, etc, and five dealing with the financial side, the amount of money per capita spent on the schools, efficiency of operation, and similar matters. In the case or this state MT. Hendrix said, the schools ranked so high on the five financial or business points that Arizona in it's average for the ten points won third place among the states.
 Mir. Hendrix used charts Tn his talk. which the Kiwanians found decidedly ntepesting.
 Guests at the Kiwanis meeting yes terday were Mrs. L.. R. O'Bryan and Miss Helen J. Ahern, here as represen- tatives of the American and French Children's League Mrs. O'Bryan and Miss Ahern told of the plans now under way for a poppy drive" in Phoenix next Saturday, for the benefit of the children of the devastated regions of France. The ''poppy urive" will be a tag day, with workers on downtown street corners selling scarlet poppies, replicas of those that grow in Flanders fields"
