Reedy
Speaks AT Revival

Evangelist Reedy spoke upon the
subject of "Murmurings Among Gods
People al tie Adams school audito-
rum last night. The subject was a
description based upon the facts Civ
en- in the Bible concerning the wan
ings of the children of Israel. The
speaker showed the great lesson
taught therein which is of the ut
most practical value to all of us.
Human nature is the same in all
generations said the speaker. when
the Lord recorded the history of His
ancient people He intended that their
experiences should be examples to us.
Whatsoever things that were writ
ten aforetime We're written for our
learning After Israel had left Egypt
the mixed multitude fell a lusting.
They longed for the leeks and onions
and cucumbers of Egypt. They mur-
INJURED against God. Many people aft
er enjoying freedom from the bond
age of sin, in their hearts turn back
again to the world This fills the
church W tn worldliness and saddens
the hearts o. the faithful and hasten
the judgments of God In this man
ner should these parallels be studied
and the lessons thtreby learned that
we through patience and comfort of
the scriptures might have hope.''
The evangelist will continue to
speak along the line of practical les
sons in the Bible this week. You are
invited to attend. Every night at s.

Clifton via Globe and Stafford is in
the best condition it has ever been
in. Thomas Maddox, state engineer,

the same trip three years ago, Mr..
Maddox ADDED. Greenlee county,
with the aid of the National Forest
department. he said, have built 40
miles of FIRE road from Clifton to-
ward Springerville. The road starts
at an elevation of $500 feet and pass

Maddox asserted, without question,
the most scenic in the entire state
About 20 miles of the road south from
Springerville, is still to be built, but
the heaviest portion of the road has
been comp 2ted
The construction work on the Mule
Creek road, known as the dam to

FAKE SOLICITORS
ARE COLLECTING
MONEYS WARNING

That two men are fraudulently
soliciting funds in Arizona for the
relief Of disabled veterans of the
world war was the declaration of
D. A. Little, state adjutant of the
American Legion, yesterday, and he
issues a warning to citizens of the
state not to contribute money to the
two men, who claim. to represent the
Disabled Veterans Relief association.
Such an organization for the relief
of disabled veterans does not exist,
Mr.. Little said.
Post commanders over the state
have been asked to watch for the
two men as the Legion wishes 70
catch them if possible. One of the
men, who gave the name of Stephens,
was in Winslow recently, and the
other has been soliciting funds in
the vicinity of Globe, according to
kilograms received from those cities.
Both men claim to represent the same
organization.
The man at Winslow asked per-
mission of the school superintendent
to solicit funds from the school chill
dren and the teachers, but when
asked to show his credentials by
Joseph Lieberman. commander of the
Legion post at Winslow. the man
slipped out of town. According to
Iieberman, this man told the school
superintendent he had collected $50
in Gallup and was going from Wins
low to Williams, Flagstaff, Prescott,
and then south in the state. He
stated it was the desire OF the organ
ization to collect the funds from the
women and children.
The man at Globe, according to
the report from that place. was So
liciting subscriptions to a magazine,
stating part of the amount was to
be used for the relief of disabled
veterans The work of these men.
Mr.. Little said, is harmful to the
legitimate relief organizations. and
it is the aim of the Legion to stop
them as soon as possible. He asks
that the citizens cooperate with the
Legion by reporting them to the
peace officers should they appear to
solicit funds.

organization, and we will probably
have to contend with these for
long time. But this must not dis
courage us from effecting a complete
organization of every available force
for a great drive on illiteracy.
We need the assistance of a united
press, city daily and country weekly;
the civic organization, fraternal Or
ganizations. We want our work
preached from the pulpit; lectured
from the platform; extolled by every
state, county and city officer from
the governor to the precinct con-
stable. We want it flashed on the
screen and enunciated by the three
minute speakers in every play house
in the state 1t will require a direct
ing hand and a time for the drive to
start, and when started we must IN
crease its momentum until our work
shall have been accomplished, and
the reward shall have come to us. IT
will take money and time and eff
fort. We must have night schools,
and We must have special schools
and moving schools and schools in
the homes for mothers. and above all
we must have unity OF purpose, unity
OF effort and we must have the best
minds of our state to give their time
and energy to the accomplishment
of this noble work Our slogan should
be Arizona over the top and com
plete elimination Of illiteracy in
1926"

Many Parts Of Country
Are Here For Meetings
Yesterday = DR.. Tigert
Principal Speaker

A vigorous campaign to reduce
illiteracy IN the state of Arizona was
launched yesterday when the Arizona
Iliteracy commission opened its first
meeting in this city. Prominent edu-
cational workers from all parts of
the state and of the nation were
present and delivered addresses on
the many phases of the work.
J. ]. Tigert, United States commits
sioner of education, who is concluding
a tour of the western states, made
two addresses, one at the morning
session and another at night to which
the general public was invited. He
also spoke before a joint meeting of

as being greatly pleased TO visit Ari-
zona, watch he declared stands among
the leaders in education. He was
greatly surprised at the progress
which has been made here.
After making his last public ap-
pearance in Phoenix, Mr.. Tigert stat
ed that education should have nothing
he said, (which should be as clear
as the 10 commandments. In order
to have a democracy he added
everyone must have equality of
educational opportunities which can
only be brought about by strong,
non-political. central agency for dis
tributing funds"
Great progress has been made in
this state y he said, ''in that it has
a county unit for taxation. The next
step will be county unit of admin
istration by a non-partisan board
which will select a county superin-
tendent and take the supervision of
rural education out of politics.

Security Pledge
Is Necessary To
Mex Recognition
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON. May 9.-Relations
with Mexico again were discussed to-
day by President Harding and his
cabinet, but it was stated afterwards
that no important decisions had been
reached. Secretary Hughes is un-
derstood to have reported that the
continued negotiations with the OBJ
regon authorities at Mexico City still
had failed TO result in the absolute
pledge against confiscatory measures
which this government has demanded
as condition of political reeogni-
tion.
The long delay in bringing the
negotiations to a. conclusion has led
to- the suggestion that special in
ternational commission be appointed
to consider the whole subject and
seek basis for recognition of the
Obregon regime. 1t was said today,
however, that the suggestion has not
yet formally come to this govern
ment and that no formal action in
that direction had been taken.

he took for his subject. THE Value of
Education to National Power"
Mr.. Tigert declared that it was
an added personal pleasure to him in
visiting Arizona to meet DIR. F. c.
Lockwood, acting president of the
University of Arizona, who worked
with Mr.. Tigert while they were both
in the army.
He also expressed his admiration
of the educational work of Miss Elsie
Toles. state school superintendent,
which has been pursued with such
energy as to win the confidence of
the educational forces of Arizona.
"In the United States" Mr. Tigert
declared in his evening address,
there is danger in a feeling of over
satisfaction caused by the material
prosperity of the country which has
caused the people TO become some
what overconfident. Democracy.
long a doctrine which has been worn
almost threadbare, depends on the
enlightenment of the citizenry."
Mr. Tigert cited the words of many
statesmen who have declared that
democracy has failed because of the
impossibility of enlightening the
people. He quoted Theodore Roose.
Velt as saying that there is a 50-5O
chance of saving America. The
speaker also gave instances to show
that tue American people are not
enlightened.
AS an example of the power of
knowledge, he told of the utilization
by Germany of this power for de-
struction. 1T would be a wonderful
thing he said. IF the United States
had the same power behind its high
ideals that the Germans had for un-
worthy ideals"
Mr.. Tigert will speak at Tempe
Normal school at 9:45 o'clock this
morning and again at Mesa when he
will be the guest at noon of the Ro-
tary club. He will dedicate the
Chandler high school at 2:30 o'clock
in the afternoon and after a dinner
as the honor guest OF the chamber
of commerce viii leave for Tucson to
speak Thursday.

This was not made public at the time,
he said, because he was not sure
who was implicated, and that if he
made the subject public he would be
charged with prosecuting the police,
since he was known politically as
administration. In his statement
the solicitor says the investigation
brought to light the real names of
nersons recorded on the gambling
books as receiving money. and that
these were not county officials. He
added that Chief of Police Williams
was satisfied at the time with the
investigation.
