 The old theory that the banker prospered in hard times when interest rates high and money scarce has been destroyed by experience
 Bank and bankers are the barometers of economic and industrial conditions and largely the cause of wiping out the spirit of depression.
 The pedders of gloom, the prophets of failure the fomeners of discord cannot pedde that stuff over the bank counter and get anywhere.

tacles are very real.

stacles are very real. Sus- 1 picion and distrust, material selfshness and militaristlc ambition may once more conspire to disappoint the hopes of the world.
 in recognition of the needs of the hour it has been most appropriately suggested that the Sunday preceding Arm istice day be observed as a day of special prayer for the Divine blessing on the In- ternational Conference, and for the attainment of it's ob- jects. It has also been re- quested by President Hard ing that special services be held in every church thro- ughout our land at the hour vixen the conference con- venes, and the memorial ser vice is held at Washington.
 While paying grateful homage therefore, to those who offered their lives in de fense of our country, it is al- together fitting that we should implore the help and guidance of the God of na- tiQns to the. end that the forthcoming conference may result in the reaching of a satisfactory agreement, through the prevalence of mutual trust and good will, for material curtailment of existing armament pro- grams.
 Now, Therefore, I, Thom- as B. Campbell, Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby designate Friday, November 11th, 1921, as
 ARMISTICE DAY a legal holiday, and do earn estly urge that day be mar ked by special services to be held at the hour when the International Conference for the Limitation of Arma- ments convenes at Washing ton, It is also requested that Sunday, November 9th, 1921, be observed as a day of special prayer in all our churches for the purpose of invoking the Divine blessing on this important confer ence.

PROCLAMATION OF
 ARMISTICE DAY

SAAAAN HI AAAO SSA J -AA A-- A-NN " -- observe Armistice Day as q legal holiday, provision hav- ing been made by the fifth State Legislature for such recognition of the day. Such formal acknowledgement of it's importance is eminently.l appropriate, for the date is a most significant one in the history of the world. Thro- ugh ages yet to come it will carry it's meaning of solemn memorial, of joyous triumph, of the blood bought victory of the people of the earth | over the sinister forces of au- tocracy and military despo- tisrn. These are meanings of the day which will always abide.
 It breathes a still deeper significance this year. This Armistice Day points not only backward to an histori- cal event, but beckons US also upward along the road l which civilization Is travel ing, toward the goal of our common humanity. Its deep CT meaning is one filled with promise, and in it's obser- vance there is embodied the crystallized hope of the peo- pies of the world that war shall be no more and their prayer that never again shall our civilization be call ed upon to undergo such a cataclysm.
 That this hope is stronger. more poignant today than lever before is most obvious.
 Three years of readjustment and reconstruction, wearily : undertaken by a world whose strength was-nigh spent,
 have served to convince even i the most skeptical that the world cannot afford war. Too wildly it has been de-
 monstrated that it's cost
 transcends human capabili-
 ties. Millions starving, other
 millions out of work, gov
 ernments tottering on the verge of bankruptcy and financial ruin, whole peoples suffering the ravages of dis ease while the cancer of anarchy spreads throughout their land, : these are but a few of the appalling items on the bill which War, red and hideous, has represented to the world.
 In the hush that came over a war-torn world on that November day three years ago. there was born in. the hearts of mankind a pro- mise. After the wind and the earthquake and the fire of four long and weary years, there came the still small voice. Out of the blood -drenched soil of France l in which it's roots were bur- jed, sprang a tender plant, it's tendrils toward the fu- ture, holding out the promise of that fairest flower, the day when War shall be no more. And the world has accepted, and believed, and believed, and today clings more and more tenaciously to the hope of early realiza- tion.
 l The burden of competi- tive armaments has become unbearable, yet along the Marathonian course in the race of power there has been found as yet noresting place. He who runs must keep on, or acknowledge his weakness by dropping out of the con-| test. Recognizing the stup- endous folly of prolonging this struggle the President of these United States has invited the surviving con teStantS to meet at Wash

specimens Of books and manuscripts that
show the ravages Of these creatures, but
those ravages were committed before we
came into possession of the papers. There

Of the State Of Florida, many of them
going back to Spanish Colonial days. These
had been marred BY the ravenous attacks

however, is the worm stage, during whfca
