NEAR EAST RELIEF NOTES

t'The way in which the child ren of Arizona are responding to the appeal for funds for the less fortunate children of Ar menia and theNear East is more than encouraging says State Director Charles F. Willis of Near East Relief. But few of the schools have been orga- nized as yet, but if all respond with the same enthusiasm as these few, there will be many little war orphans fed and clothed during the coming win ter who would otherwise perish.
 The Grammer school of Chandler, which was among the first to be organized, sent in it's first monthly contribution last week, amounting to S36.4S The small grade school of Glen dale sent inS13.36. The child ren of the Washington Sunday School, a small rural school just outside of Phoenix have given $127. A small Sunday school from the Grand Canyon and another from Halden have sent in generous contributions.
 The Horace Mann Jr. High School of Bisbee and the Bisbee High are each supporting an orphan. The Fowler School of Wickenburg, with only few etnIop+c cort n, fh aiv. first con- tribution of $500. The Bap- tist Sunday School of Nogales is feeding a child each month and the First Presbyterian Sun day School of Phoenix feeds, clothes and educates a child each month. A small colored Sunday School sent in their first contribution of $2.05, and there have been several others.
 The older students of the university and the normals have taken a keen interest. The girls of the university alone are supporting six orphans, and 1t is believed that the support of a like number will be under written by the men. All of the above is in addition to the aid given by the faculties.
 If the young people of other states respond to this appeal l from Armenia as have those of i Arizona, the children of Amer ica will in truth be feeding the children of Armenia.

C. E.. SKIPWITH

c. E. Skipwith died here early last Saturday morning November 6, after a short ill ness. The cause of his death is given as nia-influenza The funeral was held Monday, under the auspices of the l. O. O. F. assisted by the Rebekahs. Interment was made in the Odd Fellow cemetary.
 c. E.. Skipwith was born near Bonham, Texas, in 1881. He came to Williams in 1910 and has made this his home since that time. Here he has fol- lowed his trade-tailoring, mak ing occasional visits to other parts of the state and adjacent states but always looking upon Williams as his home. He was a member of the local camp of the I. O. O. F.. and it was his dying request that he be buried by them in the local cemetery. He was a quiet, industrious citizen and had only friends for his conduct was such that he never made enemies.
 MT. Skipwith was one of seven brothers, six of whom are still living: H. J. Skipwith, in Los Angeles: O. O. Skipwith, in Clovis N. M. w. J. Skipwith, in Ardmore, Okla. V. M. Skipwith in Henrietta, Tex; W. J. Skip with in Price, Utah; and A. l.. Skipwith in Camp Crook, South Dakota.
 Two brothers, H. J. and O. O. Skipwith, came to Williams with the intention of taking the body back to the old home for burial. After learning that it had been his last request to be buried at Williams, they decided to comply with this request and let his remains rest near his adopted home.

1920 PROVES BAD YEAR
 FOR FOREST FIRES

The record of fires in the To- cal office of the Tusayan Ma tional Forest shows a total of 34 fires, burning over an acre age of 1900 acres, during the calendar year 1920. This rec ord is kept in three cI3sses : class a fires are those UT % 1 of an acre in size; class R from
 A up to 10 acres; and class c. over ten acres.
 The 34 fires recorded this year were divided as follows; IS class A, IS class B, 4 class c. This record includes only fires on which it was necessary to work, either by the Forest officers, by temporary employ ees, or cooperation by Forest permittees, and therefore does not include considerable num- Der of small lightning fires that, though reported by the look outs, required no labr to extin- guish them.
 The four class c fires with total acreage of 1866 acres re- quired the construction of 10h miles of fire line to control them and an expenditure of over $2700 including the value of pay to cooperative laborers- The large fire east of Kendrick mountain, the smoke of which could be seen plainly from Will Hams, burned over some 1900 acres, killing all reproduction as we'll as the majority of the standing timber. The greater part of the standing timber killed was seed trees which were left at the time of cutting and this is considered a very severe loss by the Forest Serv- ice as it will now be impossible to secure natural reproduction on the area burned.
 Eleven fires, 32 per cent of the total number were due to carelessness showing that more education is needed to impress upon the public the need for care with fire in the woods.
 The record for the calendar year 1919 showed 2S fires with an acreage burned of only 22 acres. 21 were class A and sev- en class B. As everyone knows, last year was exceptional in the of precipitation winch fell, the local office showing 1O.47 inches of rainfall during the month of July, 1919 as conn- pared with 6.63 inches for the period June to September 80, 1920.
 2S per cent of the fires last year were due to care1essness by campers.

CORN BORERS INFEST-
 ING COAST ISLANDS

Partial explanation of the in festations of off-shore islands along the Massachusetts coast with the European corn borer was obtained recently by invest igators of the Bureau of Entom- ology, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, who have been watching the pest in. east. ern Massachusetts. Fields on several island off the coast near Boston have been found infest- ed. Recently two cornstalks were picked up in the drift on the beach of Inner Brewster Island, 9 miles at sea, and when examined were found to con- tain active corn borers. This dicovery gives a new field for surveillance in the fight against the spread of the pest. The corn borer is particularly tenac- ious of life, and instances have been known where they would regain activity after being sub- merged in water for twenty four hours or even longer.
