My Birthday In
The Valley of the Sun


The Valley Of the Sun
In Phoenix when the March winds
flow,
There is no ice, there is no snow.
But everywhere on every street,
Spring flowers grow in gardens
neat.
The winds of March blow far and
near
Bring dreams-but seldom do they
blow hard here,
Our March winds blow through
orange groves fair,
And bring orange blossom perfume
rare.
The wild flowers bloom on deserts
wide,
And cover every mountain side,
'Tis springtime in our land of sun,
Enjoying its beauty, everyone.

NOTICE
To I. 0. G. K. Patrons
Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
am serving as Conference Ac-
countant to the AME Conferences
in Mississippi and Louisiana. I &C.
cepted this work because most of
my students were in the fields and
our peculiar season made the time
for their beginning their school
work SO uncertain. AS you know
just waiting is not a part of my
nature; so I did the next best thing
provided a means by which the
school work could be continued
while I did these few weeks work
on the side.
Now do not have time to come
and talk with you personally but I
take means to let you know that I
am still deeply interested in pre-
pairing our children so that when
they meet good opportunities they
can step in and make good.
Just FREE BOOKS cannot get
your child ready to do the big
things.
Miss Ethelda Wade is carrying
on my Music, Business Course and
T. 0. c. K. work for me. If you
think it is worth while keeping this
work alive, please see Miss Ethelda.
I will have a few hours in town
next week. will be at Miss Wade's
house with the school children
Tuesday at noon. Please let me
hear from you expressing your in
tentions.
Tyree and Chiquita send you
greetings from Campbell Cole &c,
