4 PROCLAMATION OF ARBOR DAY
By the Governor of Arizona


 Nature is closely associated in the minds of the human race with inn mortality. Its manifestations and the lessons gleaned from it's study, point out and support the hope, and what we believe to be the truth that though man may die, yet shall he live again" It is therefore under standable why the people of the State of Arizona, through it's legis- ature, decreed that the Governor shall designate and set apart day on which things material are for gotten and that it be devoted to the observance of a significant and meaningful custom.
 It is the duty of the Governor ito make proclamation recommending that the Arbor Day established be observed in the planting of trees, shrubs and vines, in the promotion of forest and orchard growth and culture, in the adornment of public and private grounds, places and ways and in such other efforts and under takings as shall be in harmony with the character of the day so estab- lished.
 There is special admonition in the statutes that the children of public schools shall assist, to the end that school grounds shall be adorned with trees, this to be an object lesson in the benefits of the preservation ana perpetuation of the forests. It is made the duty of the school author ities to cause the children to as semble and to hold exercises to in. clude the planting, protection ano chr hc
 In no other section of Oud Unior is this day of such prime import ance as in Arizona. Here tree means the presence of water and it's shade is doubly grateful to the way farer or to the homebuilder. The planting of trees means develop ment and the advance of civilization. Our State is of such grand dimen- sions and of such variant climates that it has been found necessary to provide two dates, for different alt

CAMPBELL, Governor of the State of Arizona, by virtue of the author ity vested in me, and in conformity with the provisions of Paragraphs 2s37- -284O, Chapter xxx of the Re vised Statutes of Arizona, do hereby designate and set apart Friday, the 4th day of February, 1921, as Arbor Day, to be observed in the Counties of Cochise, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma; and similarly do l desig- nate and set apart Friday, the 8th day of April, 1921, as Ar6or Day for due observance in the Counties of Coconino, Mohave, Navajo and Yavapai; and urgently. request that the people generally join in the nroper observance of these occasions.

BLIND NEGRO AGAIN
CAUGHT WITH GOODS

"Dote" Harrell, the blind and Grip
pied negro arrested some time ago
for alleged manufacture and sale of
intoxicants, was again caught Satur-
day night with the goods this time
II gallons of "choc" beer ready for
prospective clients. According to
Deputy Sheriff J. I. Summers, who
raided Harrell's place, the beer was
peppery and from its smell, alive with
potency. Mr.. Summers turned the
various containers over to Justice q.
M. Easterwood for safe keeping. AT
a preliminary hearing this morning,
Harrell was bound over to the grand
Jury under bond of $500.
According to officers, the negro
begged off from punishment at the
time of his first arrest on account OF
infirmities. Since the offense has been
repeated, it is not likely circuit court
will show clemency when he is ar
raigned. The negro was not in the
house when it was raided, but was
taken later by Mr.. Summers.

LEADERS PREDICT
DRIVES SUCCESS
HALF Is ALREADY RAISED
OF Conway's $1,000 Quota in Meth.
odist $33, 900, 900 Christian Edu-
cation Movement.

With one-half Of Conway's 100000
quota in the $50, 100000 Christian edu-
cation movement of the Methodist
church, south, secured at the close of
the first day of the drive here yes
terday, local leaders of the movement
today expressed confidence that the
amount would be fully subscribed by
Wednesday, when it is hoped to COM
plete the drive.
Sundays canvass was made only
among members of the First Metho-
dist church and none of the members
from whom the larger subscriptions
are expected were approached. Ow-
ing to the great local advantages of
having the equipment and assets of
Hendrix College more than doubled,
bringing a total of S885,O00 to the
college for buildings and endowment,
a canvass will also be made of Con-
way people not members of the
Methodist church, and a considerable
portion Of the 100000 expected from
this locality will be secured from
these citizens, it is believed.
1t was on account of the local
benefits, Rev. C. M. Reeves said, that
the Conway church assumed a quota
to more than half of the
$4,000 apportioned to the Conway
district, which includes the churches
at Morrilton, Russellville, GAINESVILLE
and several other smaller places, the
Conway church having only about
one-sixth of the church membership
of thed istrict.
The drive yesterday afternoon fol-
lowed luncheon served to the teams,
team captains and organization lead
ers in the church basement after the
close of the morning services.

Find Old Church Ruins
Under Rheims Cathedral

Paris.-The work Of repairing
the ruined Cathedral Of Rheims
has brought to light the buried
remains Of ancient churches
which formerly stood on the
same site. Under the pavement
OF the choir, which was shat
tered by German shells, have
been found the old foundations
Of the Cathedral Of St Hincmar
which was destroyed by fire in
the Ninth century. Beneath these
ruins workmen came upon traces
Of the first church to stand on
this hallowed ground, the Church
Of st. Rent, built in the Fifth
century.
Under the broken high altar
was discovered a hoard of $50
pieces Of ancient silver and
near this sealed up and long
forgotten well. From the bot
tom Of this well a worn lead
pipe leads the water away into
the earth and 1t is thought that
this originally connected with
the long lost baptismal font
where Clovis was received into
the church. AntiQuar1ans from
all parts Of France have come
to Rheims to examine the dis
cOverieS.

POOR ARITHMETIC
AVERAGE BY STATE
NORMAL Tests FINISHED
Low Scores by 80 Schools on Results
of Two Months Work-Teach-
ing Defective.

Pupils in 80 public schools of Ar
kansas, tested during the months of
March and April for their ability in
arithmetic, did not show we'll. As
scored by the educational measure
ment bureau of the Arkansas State
Normal, the pupils in every instance
were below the Courts standards and
the Jordan reports, the two critericns
by which their work was judged.
Tests were made from the fourth to
eighth grades inclusive, and the re-
suits sent here for analysis and COM
pilation by students in educational
measurement classes. Previous tests
by the State Normal had established
public school pupils of the state as
proficient in spelling and geography
Thirty representative schools were
selected for the measurements. AS
individual schools and on the average,
all fell below the Courts standards
although slightly higher than the aver
age cimpiled by DIR. Jordan in tests
made on seven schools in Arkansas
earlier in the year.
Three causes are assigned by Prof.
C. c. Denney, under whose direction
the tests were made for the extension
department, for the failure of schools
to approximate standard work. Lack
of drill and consequent failure to
elk facts" in the minds of the pu-
pills, is given as one cause A second
one is the use of too much time on
useless parts to the neglect of pre-
sentation of objective presentation of
parts of the subject that are essen
tial. Finally, teachers as a class fail
to select and emphasize those parts
of arithmetic that are of fundamental
value to the child. The same causes,
the report declares, operate in other
departments of school work and pro-
duce poor work.
The State Normal ventures the
hope that the slight gain made by the
tests over Jordan's report indicates
that teachers have been aroused by
the poor showing made at that time,
and more effective drills in arithmetic
are being given.
Two tables are given in the report.
The first shows the median score in
attempts made on the Courts tests,
with Courts standards and Jordan's
report given for comparison. The POOR
showing of Arkansas pupils is shown
more clearly on the second table, which
expresses accuracy by per cent and
as compared with the above two STAN
dards. By grades, the 30 schools made
the following averages:

Ae&66A who laid
a. claim to the
~ !H discovery Of
M M/ our Pacific
S:sS!~ coast In
NV 1913 Fexrelo
possibly sailed - far North -
the Oregon boundary. In 1870
Sir Francis Drake explored for
England the coast considerably
north Of thiA Other Spanisrds
made further explorations and
Captain Cook, the English navi.
gator, In 1768 landed at Nootka
Sound and gave It It's name.
Thus both Spain and England
laid claim to this region.
The American rights to this
territory were based ON the dis
covery Of the Columbia river In
1872 by Captain Robert Gray.
who sailed from Boston in the
ship Columbia to open up fur
trade. Many American fur
traders followed and In 1911
John Jacob Aston, the head Of
the Pacific Fur company, estab-
lished q settlement called Aston
Ia at the mouth Of the Columbia.
The real opening Of the North
west was the result of the fam.
Gus Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton.
BY 1849 a decided flow Of
emigrants from the East trav-
elled over the Oregon Trail from
Kansas City to the Columbia
river, and thus into Oregon. The
trip over this route occupied
about three months and the set
tiers generally travelled In large
parties to Withstand any pos
sible attacks from Indians.
American settlers became so
numerous that the United States
actively laid claim to this re-
gion. Spain had been forced to
withdraw any rights she may
have had when Florida was
ceded in 1919. This left Eng
land and America quarrelling
over this section Of the country.
Final settlement, with definite
boundaries between the United
States and Canada, was made
In 1S46.
The Oregon territory was
formed In 1648 and the State Of
Oregon was taken into the Un-
ion in 1859 with an area Of o.
500 square miles.
