lima, Arkansas nor Georgia, - three solid democratic states, = has enacted any bonus legislation. Georgia's rec ord of doing absolutely nothing has just been referred to.
 MT. Oldfeld represents Arkansas, which has as consistent a record of doing nothing for the individual ex- service man as has Georgia, Mississ- ippi and Alabama.
 MT. Kitchen represents North Caro- lima. 1t was he, who, as chairman of the democratic house ways and means committee, in 1917, announced, when the war revenue taxation measure was being framed, that it was the purpose of the democratic party to make the North pay the expenses of the world war. It must be stated to his credit that he succeeded in carry ing out his threat. Mir. Kitchens record is consistent. He not only compelled the North to pay the ex- penses of the world war, but he is now permitting the north to take care of the ex-service men. The only two things Mir. Kitchens state has done for the ex-service man have been to authorize the use of public money in erecting memorials to his honor Ca rather empty performance) and pro viding for the legal record of certifi- cates of honorable discharge for the ex-service man. With these two in- significant exceptions North Carolina joins the ranks of Mississippi, Ala bama and Georgia in having record of "zero" in behalf of the ex-service man.

HOW THE SOUTH SERVES
 EX-SERVICE MEN

Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, who has assumed democratic leadership in the Senate, and Tom Heflin, of Ala bama, who is his first lieutenant, scarcely permit day to pass without rising and offering lip service to the cause of the ex-service man. A peru sal of the remarks of these two sena- tors would lead the unknowing to be- lieve that they come from states and represent communities that have gone the limit in rendering homage and as- sistance to the world war veterans.
 In point of fact, however, there are three states in the union which have done absolutely nothing in recognition of the ex-service men. These states are Mississippi, the home of Pat Har- rison; Alabama, the home of Tom Heflin; and Georgia, the home of Tom Watson. According to chart just issued by the American Legion weekly, these three states are the only three states which have refused to take any kind of action in recognition of the ex-service man or in assistance to him.
 They have not so much as given him poll-tax exemption, or legally pro tected the American Legion emblem, or given state civil service preference to him in public employment, or ad- mitted him to state hospitals, or state soldiers homes, or provided for public memorials in his honor, or for the le- gal recording of the certificate of hon. orable discharge, or the exemption of American Legion property from taxa tion, or free use of public buildings and armories for American Legion meetings, or state aid in obtaining

Second. Great Pioneers Reunion Is Planned For Phoenix, April 11-12

Announcement that preparations for the second great Pioneers Re- union to be held at Phoenix under the direction and auspices of The Arizona Republican of that city on April II and 12 have been practically completed and that program as comprehensive as that of year ago has been arranged. has been made by those in charge of the affair.
 The Reunion of year ago was per- haps the largest gathering ever made in the West of those to whom the West is most indebted. and it has been said freely since that conven- tion that no state ever carried out such comprehensive and interesting plan for the perpetuation of early history as was done in Phoenix last April. News of the Reunion and of it's features was carried over the en- tire United States, and even to for eign countries. so that the event had a definite value not only for the pioneers of the state but for the commonwealth as a whole.
 The program this year is to be just as comprehensive and enjoyable. There will be the registration of the pioneers again: great picnic and DdTUtCut aL IlNttSlhe 1dTh. WILT which is to be combined a get together and acquaintanceship meet ing: an afternoon of story telling and "reminiscences: and an old fashioned dance: the publication of personal accounts of the early days written by the pioneers themselves: visits to the Phoenix theaters: a motor ride to points of interest in the valley and all else that made the reunion of 1921 the enjoyable and entertaining affair which it turned out to be.
 A feature of last years Reunion was the care with which each detail of the celebration was conceived and executed. This year the same care is being used. In conjunction with the Reunion there will be held meeting on the afternoon of the 12th, Of the Arizona Pioneers Association of which John F. Orme is president, and Mel Fickas is secretary. both Of whom have since devoted theml 1 selves actively to the <. ork of the as- sooiation. MT. Orme and Mir.

employment, or provided any means of assisting him to obtain an education.
 None of these minor things have been done by either Tom Heflin's state of Alabama, Pat Harrison's state of Mississippi, or Tom Watson's state of Georgia, three states of the Solid South democracy. Much less have they provided for any bonus or any other form of compensation, or land settlement law, or assistance to veterans wishing to buy homes, or a state relief fund for disabled veter- ans, or assistance to veterans wishing to buy homes, or state relief fund for disabled veterans, or loan funds for veterans, or special hospital privi- leges for insane or invalid veterans.
 In brief, the states represented by the two democrats in the Senate who never lose an opportunity to mouth their alleged devotion to the ex-ser- vice men have record of "Zero" in everything pertaining to ex-service men.
 Just prior to the action of the house of representatives upon the bonus bill a minority report against the action of the republican majority was filed by five democrats. They were Claude Kitchen, North Carolina; w. A. Old field, Arkansas; Charles R. Crisp, Georgia; John E. Carew, New York; and Peter P. Tague, Massachusetts. It was not surprising that these Demo- crats should file a minority report criticising the action of the Republi- can majority in connection with the bonus legislation. Neither North Caro-

ROTARIANS HONOR UNKNOWN
 SOLDIER = SUNDAY

The tomb of America's Unknown Soldier was made an international shrine last Sunday afternoon when the secretaries of the navy and of war, with members of the diplomatic corps and distinguished guests parti- cipated in the exercises conducted by president Crawford c. Mccullough and district governor Ed. l.. Stock, of the International Association of Ro- tary clubs on the occasion of the placing of permanent bronze mem- orial tribute on the tomb from Inter- national Rotary.
 This is the first memorial exercise of this sort that has been conducted in Arlington cemetery and was at tended by one of the most distin- guished and international audiences that has assembled in the famous amphitheatre. International presi- dent Mccullough, who is Canadian, officiated at a similar exercise held last summer at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, where bronze memorial from International Rotary was placed on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier of France. On Armistice Day, 1921, William Mcconnell of Dublin, Ireland, governor of the Rotary District in the British Isles, as representative of International Rotary, placed a bronze tribute on the tomb of the Un- known Soldier of Great Britain in Westminster Abbey.
 The ceremony at Arlington was of the most simple character. About two thousand members of the Rotary clubs of the Fifth Rotary district, who are gathered for an important con- ference in Washington, were in at tendance, together with International president Crawford Mccullough, sec retary of the navy Denby, secretary of war Weeks, officers of the army and navy with distinguished records in the world war and representatives of foreign governments. Invitations had been extended to the representa- tives of all the twenty-two foreign countries in which there are Rotary clubs and which have representatives in Washington.
 The Rotary memorial is in the form of bronze tablet on which appears the inscription: gro the Glorious Memory of the Gallant Dead of the American Forces Who Gave their Full Measure of Devotion and Service in the WORLD WAR, 1917-1918."

In order that no loophole may re- main thrilled, Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the Legion, has extended the time for the campaign indefinitely. Word from Texas Legion officers was received at headquarters stating that the posts there had set 15 days as the limit. Cumberland, Md, was the first city to report unemployment ranks filled and was followed by Port An geles, Wash, the farthest western Legion post.
 A straw vote of civilians and world war veterans held by St. Paul, Minn., newspaper gave count of 3k to 1 in favor of adjusted compensa- tion legislation. A count of 2,51S ex- service mems ballots showed three out of every four had voted for general bonus to all ex-seryice men.

 Last Saturday Mir. Gunter's geology class went to Lake Mary and part of Walnut Canyon on a geology field trip. Some very interesting forma- tions were studied and they found several examples of the principles of isostacy in faulting, sedimentary for nations with characteristic fossils and igneous formations of volcanic eruption. From evidence gathered the most likely conclusion is that the faulting took place before the volcanic action set in. That the igneous ma- terial probably flowed out from or near the ice caves east of the lake and practically on the fault lines. The magma flowed generally northeast in- to what is now Walnut Canyon fol- lowing along the fault line. Experi- ence has shown that when molten ma- terial of this kind flows along wall of older rock that there is a tendency of crusting, cracking and shrinking of the molten mass along the zone of contact, thus making a natural depres- sion permitting the flow of water and also offering the least resistence to erosion. Erosion has cut-out the can yon in this zone of contact. One wall of the canyon is of sedimentary rock, Pennsylvania sandstone capped with Kaibab limestone. The other wall is distinctly igneous rock. In places the fault line is evidenced with clear breaks. The same formations and conforming strata of the sedimentary rock are found below that are conclu- sive evidence of the fault.
 It is interesting to know that the ice caves were formed in this manner. The caves may not be in the exact spot where the igneous flow took place but inconsequently as to the To- cation of the volcanic neck the fault was filled with molten rock or magma that in cracking and possible move ments of the country formed the caves.
 The northern Arizona track meet is to be scheduled for about May 20. About the first of May there will be a local track meet between the Emer- son school and the Normal.
 The Normal track and baseball teams are practicing daily and will soon be in shape to play a few games in preliminary.
 No baseball games have as yet been scheduled but number of the sister towns of Flagstaff have teams in readiness and want games with the Normal. The games to be played soon will probably be with Holbrook, Emerson, Winslow and Williams. Games will possibly be played also with Jerome, Clarkdale and Prescott.
 The base ball possibilities during the tournament have not been con- sidered, but will probably take part in the contests.
 The sweaters with letters for the basket ball girls arrived Monday and were given out at chapel. Those who received them were: Misses Alsup, McGooloin, Graham, Patterson, Wills ford and Davies. Miss Ruby Lowitz- Ri was entitled to a sweater and let ter last year and played some this year so the girls all clipped in and bought her one. They also presented Miss Payne, their coach, with sweat CT and letter in appreciation of her services and the.respect and good will they all have for her. The foot ball boys sweaters have not yet arrived and the school is wiring the factory to find out what has delayed the ship ment.

CONSTANTINE

King Constantine of Greece was
forced to abdicate the second time,
not so much because he did not
have the interests of the Greeks at
heart.
He was chuck full of ideas and
ideals for re-establishing his nation
as a world power, He saw very
clearly what the Greek
people want. He even added to
their nationalistic aspirations. He
wasn't merely an instrument for
carrying out the wishes OF the peo-
pie. He was their leader.
And he wasn't leading his people
blindly, so far as having an end in
view was concerned. He had a
goal. He wanted to recover Thrace
and parts OF Asia Minor for Greece.
Whether Greece is entitled to
these districts or not is another
question. Constantine trouble was
that he got in too much of hurry,

a way that he led his people to be-

not be overlooked. The west needs
many trees. Oklahoma is fortunate
in having a productive soil, admir-
ably adapted to tree growing. There

Young trees must be wa,ered during

SET time for planting them, the
rule being to wal, until frost has

wait until the latter part OF Noyem-
