ARIZONA STANDS THIRD
in LEGION ROLL CALL

The American Legion of Arizona
has Jumped from 47th to third place
in the roll call of states, this rating
being based on the percentage of
paid-up membership. Georgia and Ida
no are the oply two states in the
union which show greater proper
ton of live membership than Arizona.
Announcement of the new rating was
made this week at department head
quarters of the Legion in Phoenix. Re
ceipt of the good news from the nat
ional headquarters was cause for
great rejoicing among department
heads who declared that nothing was
going to stand in the way of Arizo-
mas reaching the top-most rung of
the ladder.
eve started at the foot last Jan
uary," said Department Commander
G. M. Stowward, "and ever since we
have been climbing. We are not
through climbing yet and we won't be
until we stand at the very pinnacle" "
Much of the success in the paid up
membership campaign IS attributed
to the interest in the state convention
to be held at Flagstaff, June II, IL
and 13, and the fact that each post
will send delegates to this meeting in
proportion to its paid up membership.
A banner attendance is assured by
the fact that the railroads have an
nounced the exceptionally low rate of
a flat one-way fare for the round trip,
whereas the customary rate for con-
ventions is a fare and third
There will be plenty of pleasure
mixed with business for all who at
tend the convention. Fred Harvey,

is a member of the Kansas City post,
has donated the use Of five oi the big
sightseeing busses used by the man
agement of the El Tovar at Grand
Canyon. These machines will be plac-
ed at the disposal of delegates and
their friends.
The work of the Arizona depart
ment is attracting the attention of the
national organization as attested by
the fact that Alvin M. Owsley, nat
ional commander, is planning a visit
here sometime the early part of Nay,
when he will be in conference with the
state commander and as many of the
post commanders as it is possible to
have him meet.

CHANCE TO BECOME
REGULAR ARMY OFFICER

An excellent opportunity is offered
young men to enter the United States
army as commissioned officers. With
in a few weeks preliminary examina-
tions will be held all over the country
by boards of officers appointed espec-
tally for the purpose. These boards
are located conveniently so that ap-
plicants may have ready access to
them.
Applicants from Flagstaff will be
examined at Nogales, Arizona.
Successful candidates will receive
commissions as End lieutenant, regular
army.
Officers in the army, in addition to
their regular pay, receive many al
lowances, such as quarters, heat, light
and travelling expenses, etc. The
healthy out-of-doors life of the army
will undoubtedly appeal to many
young men who will avail themselves
of this opportunity.
Anyone interested should write
Lieut.. Colonel R. H. Wescott, Camp
Stephen D. Little, Nogales, Arizona,
stating their educational and other
qualifications. These applications
should be forwarded within the next
few days.

DIR. r. H. II. BLOME
PASSED TO FINAL REWARD

DR.. r. H. H. Blome passed away at
his home in Pasadena, California, on
Tuesday.
Word of his death reached Flagstaff
friends Wednesday and the announce
ment of his passing was received with
deep sorrow by hundreds of friends.
not only in Flagstaff, but scattered
wide over the whole state His death
was not unexpected for he left Ari-
zona a couple of years ago seeking
rest and recuperation in California
from a nervous breakdown brought on
by overwork and worry.
DIR. Blome first came to Arizona
from Illinois and held responsible
place on the faculty of the normal
school at Tempe In recognition Of
his splendid school work there, he
was made president of the Northern
Arizona Normal school here in 1909,
in which place he continued until af-
ter the summer session of 1918. Dur
ing these nine years of splendid, con-
scientious work, he made a most en-
viable reputation for the school which
extended far beyond the limits of the
state. His work was done under the
trying circumstances of a new state
and a new school when fewer oppor-
tunities were offered an educator and
more work required to bring about
successful results, but he was of that
sturdy, plodding kind with his heart
wholly set upon his work.
Kindly loving sympathy fora the
struggling student, ably seconded by
the noble, motherly wife, emplanted
hope and love in the heart of those
who were privileged to be with them
hearts now scattered far and wide, but
grieving the loss Of a sincere, honest,
manly man and their kindly friend.
Probably the one greatest grief of
his life was III parting from the in
stitution he loved under circumstances
which seemed so unfair and unwar-
ranted. He was of German parentage,
educated in part in Germany. The
war came with bitter political state
partisan feeling. He had given of his
best for the school and his heart and
soul were with America. He offered
his two sons and the indefatigable
work of a loyal wife and daughter to
the cause, but it seemed that he was
to be wilfully misunderstood by those
who should have been his fast friends.
America never made a better .Ameri-
can. He was slow to follow a mob,
quick to help friend, sturdy in the
belief that the rugged path of honesty
was the right path though not the
easy path.
While he was not too hopeful for
his own personal success he hoped
that he was making the right pathway
easier for those who come after, to
follow
