COUNTY AGENTS DISTRI-
 BUTE ACCOUNT BOOKS.

County agents in the 33 Northern and Western States distributed last year II, 1,642 farm-account books, compiled by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Special ists of the department say that this number represents approx imately one-fourth of the total number of farmers who have requested the account books during the year prepared by the extension service, as a large number of banks and eonnzner- cial organizations assisted in the distribution of account books.
 During the winter months farm management specialists and many county agents have held farm-accounting schools at which farmers were shown the value of keeping accounts of their farm operations, and were outlined whereby such accounts could be simply but accurately kept. Reports

IN POLICE COURT

Marshal Burns and Judge
 Powers have been kept busy thepast week administering sen
 tences and collecting fines from
 riders of the white mule. Mar
 shal Burns asserts that the rid
 ing of this disreputable animal
 about the streets Of Williams is
 going to be stopped and that
 henceforth each rider will be
 arrested, fined and fer repeat ed ofenses set to work on the streets. Judge Powers seems to be of the same opinion and it looks as though those with a irrepressible fondness for this quadruped would do well to get beyond the city limits before in ;tuloing iii their n?ulish antics. The police record shows the fol- lowing persons whc have been arrested, brought before the Judge and fined each paying his fine: April IS Jose Olvera fined S15 paid; April IS Joe Romero fined $1O paid; April 22 Dick Miller fined $1O paid; April 26 Dick Duffy fined $15 paid; April 26 Walt Edmund fined $15 paid.

A PROCLAMATION
Designating Sunday, May Sth
 as MOTHERS DAY
A freuuent recurrence to f

A frequent recurrence to fun damental principles, as has been set forth in the Constitu- ton of the State of Arizona, IS essential to the security of 1nd1- vidual rights and the perpetui- ty of free government. It is, also, most desira able in order that there may be preserved and clarified that true percep- ton of values which, amid the many distractions of modern life, often tends to become dim med or to disappear from our view.
 It is most appropriate, there fore, that public recognition be given to the great debt of grat- itude owing to the mothers of America. That such debt ex- ists, and that it can never be paid, are automatic truths, ad- mitted by all, but too infre- quently given expression: Even casual reflection convinces us of the fact that what our moth CTS have given us, and to Amer ica, in devotion, in loving self sacrifice, in unSelfiSh service can never be measured, much less repaid.
 As a public acknowledge ment therefore, of the fact that there is owing to motherhood a measure of loyalty, devotion, and honor can never be paid, as an outward and visible sym bol of all that our mothers have so freely given us, and as a token of our renewed resolve to strive to measure up to their ideals for us, unattainable as those ideals may be, it is meet and fitting that expression be given this great obligation, through the celebration of Mothers Day, observance of which has become beautiful and nationwide custom.
 NOW THEREFORE,, 1 THO MAS E. CAMPBELL, Governor of Arizona, do, by virtue of the a authority vested in me by House Concurrent Resolution Number 3, adopted by the Fifth State Legislature, L hereby designate Sunday, May the eighth, as Mothers Day, and call upon all state officials to display the flag on all state and school buildings and the people of the state of Arizona to display the flag at their homes, lodges, churches, and places of business, and at other suita ble places, as a pub lie expression of love and rev. erence for the mothers of our beloved state, and other women serving it, and as inspiration for better homes and closer ties be- tween the home and the Com monwealth. It is further re- Quested, as is the annual GUS tom, that the services in the various churches of the State. on this particular day, be ap- propriate to the celebration. uf Mothers Day..
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed this 18th. day of April, 1921. Thomas E. Campbell,

ICIOS1 dpIIlC ISpOI Us IO CIl0 weather bureau indicate that the supply of stock water is diminishing in all parts of the state. A small amount of snow fell in Coconino county during the week but aside from refreshing the vegetation to a small degree was of little bene- fit. Sprinkles of rain fell at Pinedale, Fit. Apache, and Ft Bayard, N. M. Lack of drink ing water and impoverishmen of the range from absence. of moisture constitute a most ser ious condition. Stock are re- ported dying in a number of sections and immediate relief is not apparent. High winds of Saturday and Sunday being un- usually dry affected the range injuriously and were decidedly disagreeable to man and beast. Stock are being fed in south western New Mexico and some are being shipped from the Douglas section. From per- sons who have travelled over northern Mexico it is ascertain ed that there is little new vege- tation but there is an abund- ance of old grass of good quail ty.
 Growth of cotton in the Salt River Valley has been greatly hindered by cold nights and by a few scattered light frosts. Little replanting has been nec- essary, much less than last year, probably less than one per cent of the whole crop. Owing to the extremely dry soil and the prevalence of drying winds earlier irrigation than usual has been required. Crops in Yuma section have not been injured by the recent high winds; vege- tables are in fine condition, string beans now coming on in abundance; citrus fruits set we'll from blossomipg and oranges are the size of large Farming conditions in the immediate vicinity of Flagstaff and to the southwest are good; north and east condi- tions are not so good but farm CTS are planting.
