A PROCLAMATION OF MEMORIAL DAY

On one day each year we turn aside from the ordinary activities of life to gratefully recall the sacrafices of those who died and those who suffered in or der that these United States might be and might endure, and to deck with springtime's fairest flowers the spots where they lie sleeping. This is a beautiful custom and one of great value if in our beasts we truly observe it. On the other hand perfunctory acknowledg- ment of the day, or perversion of its high purpose into that of an ordinary holiday for sports and merry-making is worse than no observance at all, tend ing as it does dull the sense of patriot ism and diminish appreciation of real American institutions.
 The day belongs to those who have sacrificed their all for this, our country. On this day they live again. and we honor them with Natures brightest blossoms. On this day they once more become real. and through the memory of their devotion to America we are in- spired to live as they would have us live. and be what they would have us be- real American citizens. Unless it brings this meaning into our lives, Memorial Day is an empty ceremonial, devoid of force or life.
 In our solemn acknowledgement of the incalculable debt we owe our hero dead let us also not forget to alleviate the suferings of the living. It has been most appropriately suggested by the various organizations of ex-service men that Memorial Day be marked by the general wearing of the Flanders Poppy. the inter allied memorial flower. These little symbols of remembrance of those who made the supreme sacrifice curing the World War are made by the women and orphans of France. and the pro- ceeds derived from their sale will be used not only for their assistance. but also to provide relief fund to meet the distress occasioned by unemp loyment among our ex-service men.
 Now, Therefore, I, Ernest R. Hall, Acting Govepnor of the State of Ari- zona, do urge a statewide observance, by fitting ceremonies, of Tuesday, May thirtieth, 1922, designated by our laws as Memorial Day, and do especially call upon all ex-service men to take part in the memorial services and the decora- ton of the graves of our fallen com rades, in the realization that simultane- ously the graves of those who sleep in foreign soil are being covered with the fairest flowers of France. And 1 do further recommend that in connection | with the observance of Memorial Day, the emblem of the silk poppy be gener- ! ally worn.
 In witness whereof, I have hereunto 1 set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 18th day of May, 1922.

 The change frCm a church school to a state high school and it's attending change in courses of study worked a severe hardship on the students in readjusting themselves to new conditions.

UNSEEN POWER OF VISION IS POSSESS
 ED BY VISITOR.

B. F. Pearson of Salt Lake,
 Utah, who accompanied Supervis-
 or c. E. Owens to Holbrook from
 that city last week. has returned
 from southern Apache county.
 MT. Pearson appears to have a
 strange power in which he pos
 sesses the faculty of seeing things
 not possible for the rest of us.
 From what the gentleman says,
 visions come to him during his
 sleeping hours, many of them
 from scenes far away, and at
 places he has never visited.
 Many strange things have hap
 pened in his life. He is the one
 who, while at his home in Salt Lake City not long ago, had a wis ion of the man who murdered Schawb, the Salt Lake salesman. whose home was also in Salt Lake. Mir. Pearson immediately wrote a letter to the authorities at Flagstaff in which he showed how the automobile had left Win slow; the road taken from there to Flagstaff. and the route taken to an old we'll out from that city, where the murder had been com mitted, the body being deposited in the we'll. The officers went to the place, according to directions, and found the conditions just as MT. Peg rson had stated and dis covered the body as directed.
 The queer part of the whole proceeding was that Mir. Pearson had never visited Flagstaff, nor was he acquainted with Schwab. Probobly due to the fact that the salesman resided in Salt Lake is the reason he gives for getting the vision.
 At other times Mir. Pearsan re- ceives insight into many things through his sleeping hours. He does not understand W y he should get them any more than else. neither does he real ize why certain things are brought to his mind while others are not. One remarkable instance that he told the editor of the Holhrook Tribune was in relation to a large amount of money which had been buried in a trunk in the southern part of the state. The facts ap- peared to him one night in his sleep, and the next day he set about to get funds to go after the treasure. He was positive he could go directly to the spot, though he had never been. there before Try as he would, he could rot interest any of his friends. They said that they doubted his sanity and felt that it was simply wild dream. He then gave it up. Not long after, he saw in the newspaper dis patchee where a cowboy. whom he said in his vision would get ! the money. had found it. Then, of course, the friends whom he | had asked for the money to go after the cache were all up in the | air, stating that they had made the mistake of their lives.
 MT. Pearson says that these visions come to him right along, and while he gives the facts to those who would be benefited. he never does it for money. He says that from the experience of the treasure box incident he feels that it was not intended he should get the money, but evidently it was to go to the cowboy.
 During the past week Mir. |
