SPIRIT OF RELIEF WORK

Cash on certificate, No 2432 $l0" is an entry in the book at
 Arizona headquarters of. the Flu
 ropean relief council, 524 Heard
 building, Phoenix. The woman
 bringing in the money said the
 donor did not wish her name en- tered as she believed it might en-
 barass others who had given less. She said the donor was re-
 warded by her own conscience,
 for the giving of S1O would save
 the life of a child.
 This is an illustration of the spirit in which contributions are
 being made to the fund of the European relief council which is seeking to save from death B. 800, ,000 war waifs in central and eastern Europe. It. is stated at headquarters that no charity has ever been more a matter of the heart than this one. It is point ed out that children have been among the heaviest contributors to tke fund. The children when told of the suffering from hun ger, cold and disease of the war waifs have been moved to pity and have given generously from their small means. It has been by teachers in various parts of Arizona that Mexican, Indian and white children alike have sacrificed their allowances for candy and trifes that the might feed little mouths of children less fortunate than they.
 Word comes from Europe that l money ot afflicted nations is of no value and that people are trading what few articles of clothing they have for food. Edith Hoyt, a Red Cross nurse, just home from Europe, says: And to think of little children-little girls especi- ally wandering for days at a time alone, sleeping in bal nes, Tn quest of food and exposed to all kinds of danger. One grows quite hardened to the sight of women and children barefooted | but it is shocking to see children with only a ragged under-gar- ment to cover them.

A Proclamation
 Of ArbOr Day
By the Governor of Arizona


 Nature is closely associated in the
 minds of the human race with imnnor- tality. Its manifestations and the lessons gleaned from its study, point out and support the hope, and what we believe to be the truth that though a man die, yet shall he live again. It is therefore understandable why the people of the state of Arizona, through it's legislature, decreed that the gover- nor shall designate and set apart day on which things material are forgotten and that it be devoted to the obser- vance of a significant and meaningful custom.
 It is the duty of the governor ''to 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 undertakings as shall be in harmony with the character of the day so established.
 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 is to be an object lesson in the benefits of the preservation and perpetuation of the forests. It is made the duty of the school authorities o cause the children to assemble and to hold exercises to include the planting, protection and preservation of trees and shrubs.
 In no other section of our Unio is this day of such prime importance as in Arizona. Here a tree means the presence 0f water and it's shade 5 doubly grateful to the wayfarer or to the homebuilder. The planting of trees means development and the advance of civilization. Our state is of such grand dimensions and of such verisnt cli- mates that it has been found neces- sary to provide two dates, for differ ent attitudes.
 Now Therefore, I, Thomas E. Camp bell, governor of the state of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me, and in conformity with the pro- visions of Paragraphs 2837-284O, Chap ter xxx of the Revised Statutes of Ari- zona, do hereby designate and set apart Friday, the 4th day of February, 1921, as Arbor Day, to Sbe observed in the counties of Cochise, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, SansI Cruz and Yuma; and similsrly do 1 designate and set apart Friday, the 8th day of April, 1921, as Arbor Day for due observance in the counties of Apache, Coconino, Mohave, Navajo ed Yavapai; and urgently request that the people generally join in the proper ob- of these occasions.
 In Witness Whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the state of Arizona to be af- fixed. Done at Phoenix, the capital, this 1s't day of February, 1921.

ST. JOHNS-ZUNI-GALLUP
 ROAD

St. Johns is trying to line up
 with the wave of road building
 projects which are sweeping over the State of Arizona. Our Cham
 Der of Commerce sent Jacob
 Earth and E. Keaton Bryan to
 Phoenix to see what they could
 do towards getting an appropri-
 ation to build a road from St.
 Johns to the New Mexico line to-
 ward Zuni. It will not be long
 until we have 15,000 acres of ir-
 rigated land under cultivation and in looking for a market Gal up is our nearest and most logical
 point. While in Phoenix the com
 mittee received inc backing of w. Ii. Gibbons, the member of
 the Third House from Apache County and also received every assistance possible from Senator Saunders a n d Representative Udall they received the assurance of the House Committee on Roads that they would give us an appro- priation on the omnibus bill if we could get Gallup to meet us with a road at the New Mexico line.
 Sunday afternoon the Chamber of Commerce sent a delegation to Gallup composed of County Su- pervisor Joy B. Patterson, R. E. Jacob Earth, Albert F. Anderson and E. Keaton Bryan. This delegation met with Gallup Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Commissioners of Me Ainley County and were able to show them that a road from St. Johns to Gallup was of vital in- crest to them in a commercial way while the much discussed and cussed road along the Puerco would only be of advantage tc ;hem on account of tourist travel. The net result of the meeting vas that while Gallup did not l give up the fight for the Puerco 'oad, in fact our committee did ! not ask them to, they gave us an absolute promise in the form of etters and telegrams from the 1 Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Commissioners that ,hey would build a road to meet St. Johns at the New Mexico line f St. Johns would construct a l road from this end.
 In summing up the situation we would say that if St. Johns is going to raise crops they must have an outlet and Gallup is the best outlet we have in sight, so let us forget'personal grievances and all get together and boost for the St. Johns-Zuni- road.

LITTLE CHANGE LIKELY.
IN TELEPHONE RATES
D.. C. Utilities Commission Expect
ed to Rule Soon on Com
pany's Request.

The Public Utilities Commission
probably will render a decision with
in the next few days on the applica-
tion of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company for continuation
of it's existing rates after January 81
Belief prevails generally that the
commission will make no material
schedule of rates, mainly for the rea-
son that the telephone company. ac-
cording to it's financial statements.
is earning only about per cent on
the value of the property used in rem
dering service.
Several adjustments in the rate
schedule that would benefit sub
scribers are being considered by the
commission, but whether they will
be made is problematical.
One of these questions is whether
a limited subscriber who is allowed
fifty calls a month for a fixed sum
should be permitted to carry forward
unused calls from one month to ma
other.
Another matter rs whether the
fixed charge now made by the COM
pany for semi-public Slot machine
telephones is fair.
1t is expected the commission will
discuss again in it's decision the
policy of the company in still main
tanning a part of the force of out-of-
town operators that was brought here
during the year. The commission
may also discuss again the question
Of whether Az per cent of earnings
IS reasonable amount for the COM
oany to pay to the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company as
rental on telephone instruments and
.or expert engineering services.

In a Hurry

The blithe new year is gaily
hopping to join the old years of
the past; the days slide by, there
is no stopping, our days are
much too good to last; E; soon we
must do our Christmas shopping,
time goes SO fast, time goes SO
fast! The new year CAME, with
ringlets curly, and on his lips a
cheer-up song, that heartened
cen the sore and surly, and
showed them that their crouch
was wrong; but soon We'll do
our shopping early - time
whoops along, time whoops
along! The new year did some
wholesome Dragging about his
pep and punch and vim, but soon
we'll see his step.is tagging, and
he'll have spavins on each limb ;
and then we'll see him sadly
dragging his carcass to the bone
yard grim. SO to the shadows
we are vending, little older
every day; each flying hour
some gray hairs lending to our
old domes,. already gray, and
bringing nearer us the ending of
hope and dread, and work and
play. Each flying minute makes
us older, and plants new all
ments in our frames; some new
rheumatics in the shoulder,
where once we pressed against
the names, or gout in feet that
now are colder than when they
danced in youthful games. All
we'll, gadzooks, we've had our
inning, we old, old gents and
CATERS gray, and, like the year,
in our beginning, we put up
many kinds of hay; and now
that Our white locks are thin
ming, we must give youth the
right of way.
