WITH THE LODGES
I. O. O. F. DOINGS
Meeting Wednesday night at
the usual hour, with a splendid
attendance, and more than
usual amount of business was
transacted. Take it all in all
it was the best meeting we
ever attended in the Williams
Lodge, and the true spirit of
Odd Fellowship was held up
in a manner that would be a
credit to any Lodge. The' few
Odd Fellows that failed to at
tend missed much, and we
would like to ask each member
to make a special effort to be
present on next Wednesday
night, as there is business to
come before the Lodge that is
of importance to every one.
After Lodge has closed we
were invited to cake and coffee,
and it . was some Cake, we do
not know who made it, but say
Boy, and thru these columns
we wish to thank the lady or
ladies for them. . Someone
brought a box of cigars we did
not learn who, but from the
air we would presume that they
were appreciated,-except Bro.
Sullivant, he- has a liking for
his new pipe. -
All visiting Bros, are cordial
ly invited to meet with us next

MISS EDNA POLSON WEDS
MR. ROBERT M. PHILLEO
One of the most interesting
events of the eason occurred
Wednesday morning at ten
o'clock, when Miss Edna Pol
son the lovely and talented
daughter of ,Mr. and Mrs.
Frank O. Poison of this city, be
came the bride of Mr. Robert
M. Philleo, of Phoenix. The cer
emony was solemnizel in the
presence of the family and inti
mate, friends, Rev. Lowe offi
ciating. Preceding the ceremony,
Liszt's "Dream of Love" was
played softly on the organ by
Mrs. Harold Greene, and then
to the ever beautiful Lohengrin
music, the bridal couple ap
proached the altar. - The im
pressive single ring ceremony
was used, the vows being given
to the accompaniment of soft
music. The church was neatly
decorated with potted ferns
and carnations.
The bride, was becoiningly at
tired in a dark blue canton
crepe gown embroidered in dull
gold and blue, with hat to
match. Her beautiful boquet
was of bridal roses, lilies of the
valley and maiden hair fern.
Tho a resident of: Williams,
where her family has been iden
tified with the earliest activi
ties of the state, Miss Poison has
spent many of her winters in
California, where she attended
the University of Southern Cal
ifornia and was a popular mem
ber of the Kappa rAlpha Theta
fraternity.
Mr. Philleo is vicepresident
of the Phoenix National Bank,
anH while in Phoenix has made
for himself a firm place in the
esteem of all who know mm.
Mr. and Mrs. Philleo will be
at home in Phoenix to their
many friends in a short time.
They will take their honey
moon later in the summer.
Tanlac is the result of years
of study, experimentation and
research hy some of the world's
greatest chemists. Hence its
merit.

Back With 500 Pullets.
' "MrV Harry' Shiir and family
returned from the south Thurs
day. While in the south they
raised some 500 pulletsr which
they will ship up as soon as Mr.
Shill can get the buildings
rNeady for them. As formerly
told in these columns, Mr. Shill
has bought a small plot of
ground in Red Lake Valley and
proposes to build up a chicken
ranch there. Mr. Shill taught
the Red Lake school last year
anl he will teach there again

Linen Shower for Bride-Elect.
Mrs. Fletcher Bly entertain
ed with a linen shower last
Saturday .afternoon for the
bride-elect. Miss Edna Poison.
After playim lards and giving
their favorite recipes, a huge
flower was t ought out and pre
sented to he charming bride-to-be.
Upon opening it, she
discovered that it was filled
with beautiful linen. Dainty
refreshments completed a most
enjoj'ajDle afternoon.
In the debate of Monday eve-',
ning the Williams High School
scored a victory over the Acad
emy. So courteous were 'the
visiting team it was a pleasure
to send them home victorious.
Miss Russell's impulse to em
brace Principal Cureton and
Mr. Pratt's evident relief upon
hearing the . decision of the
judges, were in measure enough
to counteract losing to them. !
The contest was in every way
pleasant, bespeaking a lasting
friendship between the two
schools. The Snowflake

else failed to do." Thousands
have said so. So will you.

PROCLAMATION OF
ARBOR DAY
BY The Governor.
The custom' of, observing Ar
bor Day has become an- estab
lished and benefi cent practice
among our people, tending as it
does, to increase the beauty of
our surroundings and the "earn
ing power of our unused land.
The abundance of sunshine
which we enjoy can be employ
ed advantageously in tree grow
ing, which . is always, gainful,
whether continued 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 re7
forested.-
It is of particular importance
that advantage be taken of this
day to instruct the pupils of our
public and private 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 gen
eration may be imbued with a
-realization of the great values
both tangible and intangible,
which trees alone possess for
mankind.
In accordance, therefore,
with the mandate continued in
our statutes and with the earn
est hope that . the day may be
spent in the planting and culti
vation of trees which -will' ma
terially add to the beauty of our
State and will be a patriotic
contribution to the pleasure
and welfare of future generat
ions, I, THOMAS E. CAMP
BELL, Governor of the State of
Arizona, by virtue of the au
thority vested in me, and in con
formity with the provisions of
Paragraph 2837 -2840. Chap
ter XX of the' Revised Statutes
of Arizona, do hereby designate
and set apart, Friday, the 3rd.
day of February, 1922. as AR
BOR DAY, to be observed in
the Counties of Cochise, Gila,
Graham, Greenlee, Maricopa,
Pima, Pinal. Santa Cruz and
Yuma : and similarlv do I desig
nate and set apart Friday, the
7th day of April, 1922, as ak
BOR DAY for "due observance
in the counties of Apache, Co
conino, Navajo, Mohave and
Yavapai. j
Tn nrcrin cr fhf observance of
these Arbor Days, I do so in j
confident expectation that they j
may be marked by appropriate
exercises in all our schools and!
that through general recogni
tion of their important meaning
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
of e.nrrrr ooooeehha.

GORDON SMITH CLEARED
: OF CHARGE OF THEFT
At the request of 4 Marshall
Bums, Julge J: E. Jones " and
County Attorney Gold came
down from" Flagstaff Tuesday,
to investigate a charge of theft
made against Gordon Smith.
W. H.T Knowlton charged ' Gor
'd on with taking a lock arid some
tools froiri ' Knowlton 's black
smith shop. ; Conviction on
this charge would ' have ' sent
Gordon to the State- Industrial
School" to serve his suspended
sentence of three years. ' "'
After going thoroughly into
the case Judge Jones decided
that there was insufficient . evi
dence to prove "him guilty ' and
thee harge was dismissed; -
At the request of the Judge,
deputy sheriff Campbell went
down to Mr. Smith's home to
look for two ' Forest " Service
tires stolen f oni" a Government
truck several months ago. It
had been rumored that Gordon
had taken these. The missing
tires were not found 'on the
truck nor on the premises. Thj
Judge was much relieved to
learn this as it left Gordon clear
of this offense.
Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Sriiith par
ents of Gordon, have requested
that the' News make' the state
ment that Gordon did not plead
guilty to all of the offenses
enumerated in the News of last
week as being charged against
the boys. It was not the in
tention of the News to convey
the idea that each of the three
bovs participated in each of the
different offenses but some of
the News readers took the ar
ticle to mean as much. Gordon
disclaims having had a part in
stealing any money or guns.
We are glad to put this point
clear before News readers.
