ARBoR DAY PROCLAMATION

Oh Arizona QlrocL InaC Ln0 Governor
shall set aside and proclaim annually
a day to be designated as Arbor
Day; and,
Whereas, Arbor Day can be made
a day of great Importance to the
people of the State of Arizona if
they will properly observe the spirit
and follow out the suggestions which
are responsible for its origin; and.
Whereas, Arbor Day should not be
limited to the planting of trees, but
should be broadened in scope so as
TO include the beautifying of waste
places, the policing of streets and
alleys, the clearing of vacant lots
and the planting of lawns, the re-
pairing and redeeorating of homes,
the repairing of streets, sidewalks
and fences, the pruning of trees and
shrubs and doing all those things
which are necessary toward making
our towns, cities and highways more
attractive; and,
Whereas, The ex-service mems or
ganizations of the state could and
should originate a policy of keeping
alive the memory of those who have
served this nation in it's time of
need, and it is herein suggested that
izations select some public park or
highway and plant a tree in honor
of each of the soldiers of the state
of Arizona who have passed on, and
that it be made an annual custom
to plant a tree in honor of the ex-
soldiers of the State of Arizona who
died during the preceding year; and
Whereas, This idea might be ex-
tended and adopted by the various
fraternal organizations as means of
keeping alive the memory of their
departed brothers; and
Whereas, The various educational
institutions, our University, Teach
ers' Colleges and various schools are
requested to select and plant trees
and shrubbery on the school grounds
on Arbor Day,
Now, therefore, l, Geo. w. P.
Hunt, Governor of Arizona, by vir-
tue of the authority vested in me by
law, do hereby proclaim and set
aside Friday, the 5th day of Febru-
airy, A. D. 1926, to be observed as

Girl Rival, Tired of Waiting, Goes Home-ContestS At St. Jos
 eph's School Today.

Playing in a rough asphalt paved circle, the marble shooting contest ants at St. Marys school in the Her aid Junior Achievement tournament, had a more difficult task yesterday afternoon than those who have pre- viously played in the dustier but smoother sand rings. After much inaccurate shooting partly due to the playing surface, Howard War ner, 14 years old, of 618 Main street emerged the champion of the school. The girl champion who defeated quite a large feminine field, was Genevieve Henning, g years old, of 45 Putnam street. There were so many contestants that she grew tired and went home before the match game with the boy champ of the school could be arranged. Her strongest opponent among the girls was Mary Beltrane.
 The boy champion. Warner, found his closest contender in Oscar Di Fronzo in the earlier games and Francis Kennedy gave him real battle In the final which was the longest final game in any local school championship contest.
 The champion Of St. Joseph's parochial school will be determined ! this afternoon and the schools who have produced champs" this week will be matched in the inter-school series at Walnut Hill park on Satur- 1 day morning.
