of the committee of flfteen-a Sc

APPEAL ID ALI ID
 OBSERVE BIRTHDAY IF COL. ROOSEVELT

In the celebration of Roosevelt's birthday a prominent part will be taken by the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial association, through it's national and state organizations. In Arizona, the state president is Mrs. John Wetheril of Kayenta, a trading most on the Navajo reservation, where Roosevelt has had appreciated entertainment on his southwestern trips. The secretary is Mrs. J. l.. B. Alexander of Phoenix. wife of one of Roosevelt's Rough Rider captains. Within the active Arizona member ship are included many of the lead ing women of the southwest.
 The association, backed by procla- nation of Governor Campbell, asks that in every city of Arizona there he some sort@of celebration October 27. to commemorate the date of the birth of one of the greatest patriots and statesmen our nation ever has known. It is asked especially that i the children participate, that ideas | of civic morality and patriotism l thereby may be instilled. This month i Theodore Roosevelt would have reached the age of 63 His life was cut short before it's allotted span, yet was crowded with achievements con- corning which the youth of the land l should have instruction.
 1 With this especially in view, the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial asso- citation is restoring the birthplace of
 Theodore Roosevelt in New York City, and soon will have the build-
 ing ready for occupancy. Co-opera-
 tion is asked of all Arizona people
 to the end that in this building there
 may be maintained a museum of Roosevelt material and school that
 will teach his high civic ideals.
 Large or small sums for this pur-
 pose are asked by the Arizona state l officers. Checks may be addressed
 to Mrs. Dwight B. Heard, Phoenix state treasurer. It is hoped that Arizona, by the date of Roosevelt s
 birth will have done its share toward
 erection of the great memorial that
 so worthily, will utilize his birth place.
