sons, also asking that the men who
have no sons will bcfriend the boys
who have no fathers. and

 Recommendation No. G.:
 That the governor of Arizona make use of the Arizona Resource Board already provided for by law, and re- organize this board for the purpose of aiding in the development of the Colorado river.
 Recommendation No. q:
 We recommend that the U. s. goy- ernment be urged to undertake and finance the reclamation of all arid lands on the lower Colorado river that may be irrigated from every source of diversion economically pos- sible to reach the greatest acreage or irrigable lands.
 We urgently recommend that time is the essence of this matter and that nothing be left undone to expedite the flood control of the Colorado riv- CT and the protection of the thou sands of acres now in imminent dan ger of overflow should an excessive flood occur. In this connection, and as part of the negotiations in dealing WlIll tIic StdIcS HoTLil Ol uS, we SiiUuiu be liberal in meeting their regufre- ments for water appropriations for their present and future needs, pro- vided that no water shall be diverted from it's present drainage basin. We point out particularly that if water is used for hydro-electric purposes it will not be diverted from us at all; if it is used for irrigation. under normal conditions, at least large percent of it will return to the bed of the river and be available for our own use.
 We should not be too insistent in endeavoring to minimize the claim of the northern states, as records show that no water that they can ever use will in any way jeopardize suitable supply for our purposes.

ARBOR
 DAY BY GOVERNOR

The custom of observing Arbor Day has become an established and bene- ficent practice among our people, tend ing as it does, to increase the beauty of our surroundings and the earning power of our unused land. The abun- dance of sunshine which we enjoy can be employed advantageously in tree growing, which is always gainful, whether confined to one or more trees set out to beautify and shade the home, or carried to a larger extent to the end that our rugged hills may be reforested.
 It is of particular importance that advantage be taken of this day to in- struct the pupils of our public and pri- vate schools in silviculture and the beneficent results of forestation. The day should be marked by the planting of trees on School grounds and in school gardens in order that the younger generation may be imbued with realization of the great values both tangible and intangible which

of them as can be secured without un- due delay.
 Recommendation No. 1:
 That the U. s. government be urged to construct immediately storage dam at the top of the gorge of the Colorado river in the state of Arizona with view of controlling the flood waters of the river in the shortest time possible, and make it possible for dams at other points in the gorge to be built with less risk and less ex- pense than under existing conditions. Recommendation No. 9:
 That the U. s. government be urged to erect at Boulder canyon or other suitable site a reclamation dam for the purpose of diverting water for the reclamation of arid lands az points which may be reached by canals from this dam.
 RecOmmendation No. 3:
 Should it not be possible for the U. s. government to follow out Recom- mendation No. 1, then permit or permits should be granted to any in- dividual, partnership, corporation or others who can show ability to start the work in the quickest time, finance the same, construct the dam at Glen canyon or elsewhere on the river, other than at Boulder canyon, to con- trol the flood waters, to regulate the flow for irrigation, to install the prop CT plant for the production of power and construct transmission lines, un- der production and agreements for the protection of the rights of the state. It being the policy of the state, however, not to grant to any person, partnership, or corporation, a mono poly of power development on the Colorado river.
 Recommendation No. 4:
 That the state reserve the right to consider each power project separate. ly, when such power development is found necessary, and that no rights be granted that contemplate the hold ing of power sites for future develop ment.
 Recommendation No. 5:
 Where permits are issued to pri- vate parties for the building of dams to produce hydro-electric power, that in every instance restrictions shall accompany that will secure for Ari- zona, both now and in the future, such proportion of the power produced by the hydro-electric development as may be necessary for the use Tn the state of Arizona at the present time, or at any future time, upon terms as favorable as may be granted to any other power users in this state or any other states.
 Wherever the U. s. government or any organization not subject to taxes by the state of Arizona is granted a permit for dams for diversion pur- poses where hydro-electric power is a by-product, such permits shall be granted with the distinct stipulation that there shall be allocated to the state of Arizona, free of charge at the switchboard, such proprotlon of the hydro-electric power as will, when sold by the state at available prices compensate the state for the taxes (which it would receive from private

 In accordance, therefore, with the mandate contained in our statutes and with the earnest hope that the day may be spent in the planting and cul- tivation of trees which will materially add to the beauty of our State and will be patriotic contribution to the pleasure and welfare of future gen. erations, l, THOMAS E. CAMPBELL, governor of the state of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me, and in conformity with the provisions of paragraph 2837-2840, chapter XX of the revised statutes of Arizona, do hereby designate and set apart, Fri day, the 3rd day of February, 1922, as ARBOR DAY, to be observed in the counties of Cochise, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, San ia Cruz and Yuma; and similarly do l designate and set apart Friday, the 7th day of April, 1922, as ARBOR DAY for due observance in the coun- ties of Apache, Coconino, Navajo, Mo- have and Yavapai.
 In urging the observance of these Arbor days, 1 do so in the confident expectation that they may be marked by appropriate exercises in all our schools and that through general recognition of their important mean ing thousands of young trees will be started on their future growth to bless us in the years to come.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the Capi- tol, this 18th day of January, 1922.

"I know a fellow" said C.. B. Will son, 'who went into restaurant and had boiled eggs. On the shell of one of the eggs was written the name and address of girl, with the request that whoever ate the egg write to her. The young man, being of an ardent nature, wrote, proposing marriage. The young woman answered that she was sorry, but she had been married ten months and had baby"
 Orrin Compton and us waited for c. B. to finish the story. Well bite," we said. 'sWhat's the answer?"
 Answer? There's no answer" re piled c. B. Tt appears that it was an old egg, that's all."
 Then he smiled serenely, thinking how dense some fellers be.
 Col. Fred Breen, trying to keep up his courage before he sailed by keep ing his mind on other things, told US about woman who used to live here who got wrathy at the electric light company. So, when she moved from the house she was living in she turned on all the lights and then unscrewed all the bulbs to let the juice leak out on the floor.
 Just the mere outline of the past occupations of some of our people who now lead pretty uneventful lives would doubtless prove very interesting. Take Bob Huddleston, for instance, who is now fixing watches. Bob worked in the Hamilton watch factory for quite while. Too tame. So he trained a lot of dogs, monkeys and bears. For some time he played vaudeville with his trained animals. During the war, while he was at the Palace theatre Chicago, Charlie Ringing saw his act and bought his animals. Later Bob took charge of the trained animal de- partment for the Ringling circus and travelled with it in that capacity for four years.
 R. l.. Neill, city marshal, asked a little girl the other day what her COW wore a bell for "To call the calf to dinner," was the reply.
 Captain J. B. Wright recalls the contract Ben Welch, the bridge and culvert man, made last summer with a small Flagstaff boy for fish bait. The captain had just told Welch that tadpoles were good to use as bass bait at Mormon lake. The small boy volunteered to find some. "All right" said Ben, "I'll give you 10 cents apiece for them"
 He had no idea the boy would find any, but it was not long before he re- ceived 39 tadpoles and bill for $3.90, which he paid.
