live than all the essays I have read or the
discussions I have heard on the NEGRO
problem
But, strange to relate, nearly all of our
writer's have failed to present convincing pic
lures of New York, though the number Of
those who essay it every month in the year
is greater than chat Of those who have busted
themselves with other parts of the country
It Is true that our town is cosmopolitan and
that an. enormous element in It's population is
Of alien BIRTH bat there is, nevertheless, a real
New York composed of many different classes
and united in brotherhood that did not to-
gether go out Of existence with the Volunteer
Fire Department.
Once in a while I come across the work Of
some minor writer who seems aware Of this
kinship-it found admirable expression in
II. c. Burners stores--but there are alto
gether too many who seek their inspiration in
the chance episodes that feed the sensational
press and in the many myths to which con-
slant repetition has given the semb,ance of
truth.

Montana and Idaho, the king of the herd being
Apache. They were placed in thousand-acrs
inclosure surrounded by ten-foot heavy wire
fence. The experiment of raising buffalo On
this upland was successful. Soon after Mr..
Whitneys death, the herd was sold intact to
the Bronx Zoo, New York. In another in
closure Of thousand acres were placed
dozen moose. that were imported from New
Brunswick. During the terrible winter OF
1918, when snow on the level averaged six
feet, much Of the wire fence was broken down
and the moose escaped. Last July at Lepox
Dale one Of the big bulls held up the New York
express from Pitts1eld.
At one time nearly ore hundred elk wan
dered over the great park The nucleus Of the

of which are still left on the mountain. For

the trade Of letters, like other industries, Is
running to specialties, with the result that our
writers are content to present more or less
authentic pictures Of life in the different cor
ners Of our empire. Booth Tarkingt n in the
Midwe.t; Miss Villa Gather in alien comn,uni-
ties further West; Miss Mary e. Wilkins and
Miss Alice Brown in New England, and Miss
Glasgow in the South have given us bits of the
nation that readers Of future generations may
gather up like the fragments Of broken vase
and try to piece together into revealing
picture. In this case l hope that they will
make careful study Of the work Of the best
Of our hu-norists, notably that Of George AIDE,
whose character studies Of Chicago folk are
admirable, and of John T. McCutcheon, whose
Bird Center cartoons are convincing pic
lures Of what goes on In small Indiana
town. Nor should such readers neglect the
story c&'led "Brthright," now current in "The
Century Maga azine," the work Of an author
named T. S. Stribling, Of whom have not
previously heard His novel deals with
life in the negro section Of small Southern

PROCLAMATION OF ARROR DAY
 BY THE GOVERNOR.

The custom of observing Ar bor Day has become an estab- lished and beneficent practice among our people. tending as it does, to increase the beauty of our surroundings and the earn ing power of our unused land. The abundance of sunshine which we enjoy can be employed ad- vantageously in tree growing, which is always gainful, whether confined to one or more trees set out to beau6ify and shade the home, or carried to larger ex tent to the end that our rugged hills may be re-forested.
 It is of particular importance that advantage be taken of this day to instruct the pupils of our public and prIvate schools in silviculture and the beneficent results of forestation. The day should be marked by the plant, ing of trees on school grounds and in school gardens in order that the younger generation may be imbued with a realization of the great values, both tangible and intangible which trees alone posses for mankind.
 Ia accordance, therefore, with the mandate contained in our statutes and with the earnest hope that the day may be spent in the planting and cultivation of trees which will materially add to the beauty of our State hn ft~Io pfrih hrl tion to the pleasure and welfare of future generations, l, Thomas B. Campbell, Governor of the State of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me, and in conformity with the provisions of Paragraph 2831-284O, Chapter XIX of the Revised Statutes of Arizona, do hereby designate and set apart, Friday, the 3rd day of February, 1922, as Arbor Day, to be observed in the counties of Cochise, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Maricopa. Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma; and similarly do J designate and set apart Fri day, the 7th day of April, 1922, as Arbor Day for due observance III bl1S GULL Ol 1APdCbS, SOCO' nino, Navajo, Mohave and Va. ! vapai.
 Ia urging the observance oi these Arbor, days, I do so in the l confident expectation that they may be marked by appropriate exercises in all our schools and that through general recognition of their important meaning thou sands of young trees will be started on their future growth l to bless us in the years to come In Witness Whereof, I have l hereunto set my hand and caus ed the Great Seal of the State cl Arizona to be affixed.
