ARIZONA SOIL HAS
 PART IN CEREMONY

A tree nurtured by the soil of every state in the union was planted on the old capital square of historic Mill edgeville Armistice day, according to a report of the ceremonial held un- der the auspices of federated club women which was received at the office of the governor yesterday.
 In the report was the letter sent by Governor Campbell in forwarding soil from this state, which was one of the few of the many notes received that were given publication.
 ''The significance of this ceremony is one which should make a deep and lasting impression" wrote the gov ernor. "I am sure that this tree nur- tured by the soil from every section of the United States, will grow to be indeed a tree of liberty and flourish like the civilization it represents.
 With the idea of having a tree grow in strength and steadiness as the country grows in strength and unity, the Georgia women requested a bit of soil from the governor of each state, and received the co-oper- ation of the executives and many notes commenting them on their ac- ton which they claimed held lessons in true patriotism.
