HARDNESS PROCLAMATION

THAT season has come when, alike
in pursuance of a devout peoples time
honored custom in grateful recognition
Of favoring\ national fortunes, it i.
proper that the president should sum
mon the nation to a day of devotion
of thanksgiving for blessings bestowed
and of prayer for guidance in modes
Of life that may deserve continuance Of
Divine favor.
Foremost among our blessings Is
the return to peace, and the approach
to normal ways again. The year has
brought us again into relations OF
amity with all nations, after a long
period of struggle and turbulence. In
thankfulness therefore, we may well
unite in the hope that Providence will
vouchsafe approval to the things we
have done, the aims which have
guided us, the aspirations which have
inspired us.
1--WE shall be prospered as we shall
deserve prosperity, seeking not alone
for the material things but for those
Of the spirit az we'll; earnestly trying
to help others; asking, before all else,
the privilege of service. AS We rem
der thanks anew for the e~xaltation
which came to us, we may f1ttingly
petition that moderation and wisdom
shall be granted to rest upon all who
are in authority, in the tasks they
must discharge. Their hands will be
steadied, the purposes strengthened,
in answer to our prayers.
ours has been a favored nation
in the bounty which God has bestowed
upon it. The great trial of humanity,
though indeed we bore our part as
well as we were able, left Us com
%paratively little SCARED. 1t is for us
to recognize that we have been thus
favored, and when we gather at our
affairs to offer u thanks, we will do
well to pledge, in humility and all
sincerity, u purpose to prove de-
serving. We have been raised up and
preserved in national power and con-
sequence, as part of a plan whose
wisdom we can not question. Thus
believing, we can do no less than
hold nation the willing instru.
ment of the Providence which has so
wonderfully favored us. Opportunity
for every great service awaits us If
we shall prove equal to it. Let our
prayers be raised for direction in the
right paths. Under God, our respon.
sibility is great; to our own first; to
all men afterward: to all mankind in
Gods W justice. q
Nov, therefore, I, Warren G.. Hard
ing, president of the United States,
do hereby designate Thursday, the
oath day of November, to be observed
by the people as a day of Thanksgiv-
ing, devotion and prayer; urging that
at their hearthsides and their affairs
they will give thanks for all that has
been rendered unto them, and will
pray for a continuance Of the Divine
fortune which has been showered so
generously upon this nation"

by the senate made $75,OOO.O 900 ava,l.
able for road construction in the
states for the remainder Of this fiscal

road system not exceeding seven per
cent Of it's road mileage for improve

ways receive federal aid. the amount
of which must not exceed on any prof
ect fifty per cent Of the estimated cost.
SAll highways in the interstate sys-
tenn must have a surfaced width of at
least eighteen feet unless a narrower
width is deemed sufficient by the
secretary of agriculture. In case a
federal aid highway is not prop
erly maintained by the state, the state
will be given ninety days notice at
the end of which time the secretary
of agriculture may maintain it out OF
the states allotment and refuse to
approve further projects until reim-
bursement is made by the state. =.
All features of the act have been
strongly advocated by the American
Farm Bureau Federation, representing
the state farm bureaus, and the Amer

DEFEAT C0Y0TW
ON H0E FIELD
STATE WRECKS S.ADIrIoN AND
HUMBLES I DIVERSITY
9 TO O
WIN CHAMPIONSHIP Of TWO STATES
State Clearly OutcIassed the U. in
Every Way But the Coyotes
Fought Hard.

For the second time in three years
State college won the football cham
pionship Of North and South Dakota
when the ~Jackrabbits decisively de-
feated the University of South Dakota
last Saturday, 9 to 0, on their home
field and on the day Of their annual
Dakota day celebration and alumni
homecoming. State college had the
Coyotes outclassed in every respect
and their superiority was apparent all
through the bitterly fought game. The
old tradition of the university of never
have been defeated on their home field
was utterly shattered in spite of the
almost s%uperhuman efforts which the
university team made to prevent the
powerful West-Enke machine from
walking all over them. Although the
J~ackrabbits were unable to score until
the last quarter it ives apparent that
State would be victorious, being Just
a matter of time in wearing down the
university defense. While many crit
les thought the game was unneces-
sarily rough, old football men who wit
messed the game and the State college
players; themselves, discredit those
claims and say that it was just a good,
healthy, scrappy battle with but little
grabbing of unfairness on either side.
State college Vol a glorious victory
and did it in a manner that will al
ways be a great credit to the team
and the school.
During the entire game States goal
was lever seriously threatened. 1t
was only the fierce defensive work Of
the university line that kept State from
scoring several touchdowns, coupled
with a lack of the characteristic
smooth, machinelike offensive of the
State college team. In the third quar-
ter STATE got back into her full stride
and played the brand or football she
has been playing all season. Schultz,
Roberts and Bob Coffey tore through
for long gains on every play. End
runs with perfect interference were
plays that the Coyotes could not break
up. A play by play account of the
third quarter follows:
Brown punted to Roberts who was
nailed in his tracks on the 50-yard
line. Coffey failed to gain. Coffey
made three yards around his right end.
Coffey failed to register at right tackle.
Welch for Johnson. WEIGH punted out
of bounds on the 3O-yard line. Uni
versity's ball.
Quintal made 3 yards through right
tackle and plowed right guard for the
same distance. Pass, Quintal to Col
Inns, incomplete. Brown kicked to
Roberts who was tackled on his own
30-yard line. States ball.
Roberts made Is yards around right
end and Schultz hit the same place
for 3 more. Schultz then added Is
yards through a hole in the Coyote
line. Roberts circled right end for 10
yards. Zimmerman for Soper. Roberts
made two yards around left end. Coffey
arranged for a yard at left tackle. Pass
incomplete. WEIGH lifted a perfect
drop kick between the posts from his
35-yard line for the first score of the
game.
Schultz kicked off to Lund, who
fumbled. Salisbury recovered for

Arizona Banking a Huge Mys-
terry.

Many of the good people of
Wickenburg are in q maze of
doubt and mystery over the thou
sands of dollars which were taken
away from them by the failure
of the Central Bank without any
explanation or excuse except that
the bank has failed. The bank
was a state bank and held state
funds, which was the peoples
money, many of whom were also
depositors in the bank, and yet
they are the last ones to whom
any report, or explanation has
been made. The majesty of the
low in Arizona is a huge joke,
when innocent depositors can get
no information of the States
plans or intentions regarding the
loss of their money. AS a little
youngster said the other day: A
banks a place where they take
your money and give it to some
body else without askin' ="

A letter from Attorney Weldon
j. Bailey of the Sd to our editor,
brings to public notice the follow
ing petition as a last desperate
move of Springer ct ais. to in
fiuence Judge Jenckes, who is in
charge of Judge Stanford's De-
partment Of the Superior Court,
to retain the deposed cashier and
Receiver Baxter, in charge of
the books, assets and accounts
of the defunct Wickenburg Cen
tral Bank. 1t was filed on last
Monday, the very day when the
hearing was had for removal of
Springer and his receiver on the
petition of H. B. Watson, repre-
senting the depositors of said
bank. 1t will be noticed that the
usual camoufage" of ringing
in the chamber of commerce (0
of which the cashier was the di-
recting head and secretary, the
fire department, the mayor and
Welfare Fund, and some obsolete
firms now out of business, who
in reality are debtors to the bank
and morally OBLIGATED to the de-
pressed cashier for past favors.
The petition was not presented in
court, but was possibly intended
as a clinching argument along
with certain letters doubtless OBJ
tanned on the dollar for dollar"
avowal, to influence the court,
at the critical moment by the
receivers attorney. Right here
it is only just. to state that sew
eral persons interviewed state
that they signed the petition mis-
apprenensively and others deny
it altogether, which facts are to
be presented the court if it ever
sees the light of day there which
is doubtful because it actually
nullifes itself, and is without sig
nature designating it as a prop
erly endorsed court document:

COURT DEMANDS REPORT OF BANKS RECEIVER
Order Peremo Be
Its Arouses All Delay

son, former assistant cashier has
been observed assisting the re-
ceiver, his father, less than ten
days ago and not in Texas.
Attorney Bailey called atten-
tion to the fact that depositors
could not secure any information
as to the affairs of the bank and
the progress of the receiver be-
cause he refused to impart infor-
nation whatsoever. This sur
prised His Honor and he asked
the excuse therefor, which was
not satisfactory as ample time
had expired in which to make a
report had elapsed.
The. receivers attorney then
made the excuse that a report
would frustrate certain criminal
prosecutions which might be
necessary Ga frank admission in
line with the depositors' demand
for a grand jury investigation).
Judge Jenckes could not see how
that would injure anyone and re-
fused to accept the excuse The
contention that Judge Stanford
had ac4uieseed in the delay was
also turned down by the reply
of Judge Jenckes that he was
sitting in Stanford's place; that
he felt free to act as the occasion
demanded.
Attorney Bailey then came to
the rescue OF Judge Stanford and
told the court that Stanford had
invited the petition that all facts
might be revealed and settled.
The Court then made an order
requiring Receiver Baxter to i'm
mediately make and file report
within 10 days from last Monday
in the belief that more satisfac-
tory results would be attained by
the filing of a complete report
than by trial. and that order.
however distastefuI stands, the
time limit terminating on next
Wednesday,
Surprise was expressed that the
neceiver's attorney did not want
to make a report, but the cause
therefor can only be conjectured
to mean that certain 'irregulari-
ties" and unsafe banking meth
DDS might be exposed. Many
people are interested in this case
and the appointment of a receiv-
er and his conduct, acconding to
Attorney Bailey, lies largely in
the conscience of the Court and
that's why Judge Jenckes had in
herent authority to make this
order independent of any petition
or those who wrote special letters
thinking to influence the Court
in favor of some who are intent
upon hiding facts that are sure
to be exposed when the report is
finally forced to light. II that
report is not satisfactory, or in
any manner shields those who
are responsible for the present
failure, Baxter's removal must
swiftly follow; in which case it
will lead to a probe by a grand
jury called for that purpose. 1t
is known that sworn statements
regarding the bank have been
possession of the STATE MINER
which have never been presented
owing to the fact that the prose-
cutting attorney is the private
counsel for the deposed cashier,
and has already refused to issue
a warrant against his client.
