NO. 54 SHIP AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT AMERICANS IN (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.—An address of more than passing interest was delivered in the House of Representatives on Lincoln's birthday anniversary by Congressman Emerson of Ohio. It is of special value to the country at this time, as it forces the attention of the public upon an array of facts which show the remarkable progress made by the Race during the brief period of freedom. Statistics are not generally interesting. These as a revelation of astonishing racial progress will prove an exception to the rule. Congressman Emerson said: "On this, the 12th day of February, the anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, it is very interesting to consider for a few moments the progress of the Colored people in this country who feel greatly indebted to him for his efforts in securing for them freedom and opportunity. "On September 22, 1862, President Lincoln issued his emancipation proclamation wherein he stated that on January 1, 1863, all persons held as slaves within certain states were to be free. The close of the civil war found the Colored man free—not only free, but he was invested with all rights and responsibilities of citizenship. How he has progressed since that time is now a matter of history, reduced to figures and facts, and it is well for us to consider them, bearing in mind that the civilization and progress and accomplishments of this race have taken place in the last half of a century. "In 1915 the races of the world were in about the following proportions: Yellow, 703,000,000; white, 560,000,000; Colored, 258,000,000. "To give an idea of the great increase in the efficiency of the Colored race, I desire to submit the following figures: Homes owned, 1866, 12,000; 1916, 600,000. Farms operated, 1866, 20,000; 1916, 981,000. Business conducted, 1866, 2,100; 1916, 45,000. Wealth accumulated, 1866, $20,000,000; 1916, $1,000,000,000. "Now let us turn to the educational statistics: Percentage literate, 1866, 10 per cent; 1916, 75 per cent. College and normal school, 1866, 15; 1916, 500. Teachers in public school, 1866, 600; 1916, 36,900." Students in public schools, 1866, 100, 000; 1916, 1,736,000. Property for higher education, 1866, $60,000; 1916, $21,500,000. Expenditures for education, 1866, $700,000; 1916, 14,600,000. The religious progress of the Colored race has been wonderful, but here are figures: Number of churches, 1866, 700; 1916, 42,000. Number of Sunday schools, 1866, 1,000; 1916, 43,000. Number of Sunday school pupils 1866, 50,000; 1916, 2,400,000. Value of church property, 1866, $1,500,000; 1916, $76,000,000. "In 1914 in the State of Georgia, Colored citizens made returns upon $38,633,307 worth of property and owned 1,592,555 acres of land. "In North Carolina Colored citizens made returns upon $32,197,890 worth of property. "In Virginia Colored people owned 1,674,973 acres of land and had $37.-$51,973 worth of real and personal property. "In 1900 Colored people were interested in 51 banks and insurance companies and held policies to the amount of $25,800,000. "Colored people have interested themselves in playgrounds for children, social improvement, Negro uplift, civil improvement and health improvement. "They have won prizes in raising corn, pigs, potatoes and other vegetables. "They have noted preachers, inventors, teachers, sculptors, actors, artists, singers and musicians. "The Colored man in the war of Southern Woman Says Her Testimony Sent Innocent Man to Pen Writes Governor-That She Lied And Wants Man Pardoned (Associated Negro Press) Columbia, S. C.—Governor Cooper has started an investigation of facts related in a letter he received recently from a woman in the eastern part of the state, in which it is said that testimony the woman gave in a case against a man some years ago, which resulted in his being sent to the penitentiary, was false, and that it was given through spite. She says her conscience has troubled her a great deal and that she wants the man pardoned. The man in the case was convicted of rape and was given a long term in the state prison. He is there now. Governor Cooper referred the letter to the solicitor in the circuit for investigation, and if the facts related by the woman are true the man will be pardoned. The governor is not willing to make public any names or places until he ascertains the correctness of the woman's allegation. President Wilson Hires Big Hotel (Associated Negro Press) (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., April 1.—The latest news from Paris brings the word that President Wilson, on his second sojourn to the French capitol, will occupy the forty rooms of the Hotel Bischofseim, a structure built at a cost of $1,000,000,000. Evidently the Murat Palace did not prove, good enough for the traveling president. Also ordinary but comfortable furnishings do not seem to be adequate. The $2,000,000,000 "gorgeous appointments, furniture and art works" which were removed from this newest White House, on account of air raids, are being brought for Mr. and Mrs. Wilson by eleven trucks, probably manned by soldiers most anxious to quit fighting democracy. We are wondering how far Mr. Lincoln would have allowed such gorgeous preparations to proceed, if one's imagination can wander far enough to see Abraham Lincoln leaving his country during the most trying times in its history. 20TH CENTURY PROD DIGY FOUND IN COLORED ARTIST (Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La.—Arthur Edwin Johnson, of this city, is the name of the new Negro artist who has been discovered in the last few days. He has never taken a lesson in art, but his productions are regarded as marvelous, and hundreds of people of both races flock to his humble gallery every day to see his handiwork. the United States has always shown himself loyal, patriotic and ready to fight—never flinching from duty. "The blood of the Colored men has been shed upon every battlefield from the Boston massacre to the time of the signing of the armistice last November. "Crispus Attucks, a Colored man, was the first to fall in the Boston massacre, March 5, 1770. "Samuel Lawrence led a company of Colored soldiers at Bunker Hill. "Peter Salem fired the shot that killed Major Pitcairn. "The Black Legion in 1779 covered themselves with glory at the seige of Savannah. "Over 3,000 served in the Revolutionary war and fought for independence of this Nation. "In the present world war thousands of Colored soldiers went over the top for freedom and democracy. "Over 33 Colored people have received Carnegie medals, 3 graduated from West Point, and they have foreign races that come to this country." ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1919 "WE DON'T EAT COTTON, WE BANK IT," SAY COLORED FARMERS (Associated Negro Press) Tuskegee, Ala. — At the annual Farmers' conference at Tuskegee Institute prosperous Negroes are called to the platform to tell how they dug success from their fields. Having told their story they must meet a fire of questions on whatever line the questioners elect. One strapping farmer had just explained how Dr. Bradford Knapp's farming plan panned out for him. He had produced family supplies in abundance for the entire year—pork, vegetables, corn, eggs, chickens, milk and butter, and had sold the surplus of these commodities for more than enough to meet all other needs. "Me and my folks," he declared, "live well every day of the year"; and he looked it. His cotton crop, which netted $1,200, he had put in the bank. "We don't eat cotton at my house," he said; "we bank it." "What sort o' school you got?" asked one of the crowd. A good school, it appeared. Questions showed that a good house, a trained teacher and a lengthened term were provided, and that the man who didn't eat cotton had done more than his share toward securing them. "What you doin' so much for?" some one asked at last. The farmer scratched his head a minute, and faced the crowd with a grin. "I own my land," he said, "but I've got a boy, too. If he's taught right, he'll know how to work, and what good work can do for him. I can leave him my farm, and he'll make it pay. But if he can't get a good school to go to, he'll grow up a fool, an' marry another one. An' him an' his wife—an' a raft of children, like enough—will come an' get down on me to support em. One way or the other that boy'll get everything I've got; an' I don't want him to get 't by him an' me both bein' fools. That's why I put my money into a school." 33D DEGREE MASON WILL LECTURE HERE TUESDAY EVENING 33D DEGREE MASON WILL LECTURE HERE TUESDAY EVENING J. C. Scott, special deputy grand master of Masons of Texas and jurisdiction, who has held spell-bound hundreds of audiences through Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas, will lecture Tuesday evening, April 8.

McCuolgan, a white man, living near Gambrils, this country, and employed at Camp Meade, was committed to jail today without bail to answer to the Grand Jury at the April term of court on the charge of criminal assault upon Essie Thomas, a colored girl, said to be 13 years old. The girl was employed in McColgan's family. The arrest was made this morning and the hearing was before Police Justice Welch. The offense is alleged to have occurred Monday. PLURIBUS UNUM INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION VS. HIGHER EDUCATION (By E. J. Moore, Tampa, Fla.) I listened to a heated debate on this question recently which proved to be very entertaining so far as discussion is concerned. But to differentiate between the essentiality of industrial and higher education is a problem so intricate as to be practically unsolvable. Take the higher education away from the industrial and it becomes a drudgery, and every one wants to get away from it. Indeed it is the higher education that has dignified the industrial and given it a finishing touch. Industrial education left to itself is nothing more than common labor. One of the speakers glibly quoted scripture by stating that the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was a carpenter; but he neglected to say that the good Master stuck to that trade all through life. As soon as the carpenter mastered sufficient knowledge about his trade he is ready to become a contractor and let the other fellow do the drudgery. He is content in drawing plans and figuring how much labor he can get out of the other fellow. The man who plans and directs, the man who develops an idea, it matters not whether he is in college or in the shop, is pursuing a course of higher education. The man who operates a Linotype machine is as much an exponent of the high school as the man who teaches geometry. It took more than mere manual training to fit him for this work. He had to do some thinking and quick thinking, at that. Any department of labor that is directed by a trained mind is in substance higher education. Let us come a little closer. Higher education lifts labor out of the drudgery and puts it on a plane, makes the strongest argument in favor of industrial education is usually the one who is trying hardest to keep out of the drudgery, if indeed he is not already away from it. The fellow who is in the gutter is not at all particular about homesteading there. He has dreams that he, too, may be the contractor some day. Lincoln did not split any more rails when he got to practicing law, although they say he was first-class in that line of industry. It has been contended that only one-tenth of the people will ever take advantage of higher education. But if there were no highly educated people to formulate plans for the masses, the masses would be groping in the dark. The industrial world is directed by the hands of the educated and thinking elements. Mr. Edison has doubtless formulated more electrical devices than any other man living or dead. But Mr. Edison spends nearly two-thirds of his time in earnest application and study. If this is not higher education we would like to be informed just how hard a fellow has to study to reach such a stage. Mathematics, music, grammar, history, mechanics, sculpture and various others are examples of higher education when cultivated and developed. A person cannot be a finished carpenter unless he has considerable knowledge of mathematics. Music may have a natural flow, but some one must put it in form and arrangement that it may be sung by others and co live from generation to generation. A study of grammar is necessary whether a fellow desires to be a farmer or a school teacher. In the study of mechanics it is necessary to know something of geometry to measure up to the required standard. Industrial education is the biggest humbug for the lazy fellow who wants to get out of studying a little that has ever been perpetrated upon the colored people of this country. Of course there are lots of white people who encourage it among Negroes, but they usually get all the higher education than can be afforded by the common schools. Higher education not only trains the mind but helps the appearance as well. It is time to stop such nonsensical talk that the Negro does not need higher education. He needs just what any other race needs, and the sooner he gets it the better. If a man is going to dig ditches for a living that is no reason why he should not cultivate his mind and fit himself for the highest state of society. INSIDE INFORMATION ABOUT BLACK SOLDIERS NOW IN FRANCE (Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., April 1.—Several letters have been received in St. Louis, from the boys in France, telling of discriminations attributed to Americans. One particularly unfortunate case is the attitude of the Y. M. C. A. Oversea Force. In a letter just received from a member of the Medical Department, the writer says: "The Y. M. C. A. secretaries have segregated the Colored soldiers at the U. S. Army Camp in Morseille, France. It is only a part of the strife, hate, suspicion, envy and embarrassment some of our boys experienced over here. On my arrival last November, at this camp, the Y. M. C. A. canteen was opened in a small tent with a counter separating the Colored soldiers from the white. If any of the Colored boys tried to purchase any articles on the opposite side, he would be requested to buy articles at the Colored counter next time. The majority of the patrons were Colored, but their space was only one third. This caused a congestion. After a building was constructed they refused to sell to any Colored soldier. A "Colored Y. M. C. A" was then established. When I tried to purchase a block of chocolate candy at the "White Canteen" I was told 'you know we do not sell to you Colored boys at this canteen.' I was told it was the camp commander's orders, but when I said I would interview him, the secretary said "Well, I will serve you this time." During the next fifteen days, a memorandum was sent to all organization commanders instructing them to encourage the Colored, under their command, not to patronize the "White canteen." Some of them were, wearing a service and wound stripe, who had given a good account of themselves in the thick of battle. They had fought in the muck and mire of the trenches and where shell fire was the fiercest. We shall expect, on our return to the States to note the growth of Democracy, a Democracy that will be broad enough to overlap the bounds of color. A Young Boy's Plea A pitiful plea comes from a young boy belonging to the 809th Pioneer regiment still in France. The Pioneers are labor regiments to which most of the Colored drafted boys were sent. The writer well remembers the young man in question was so anxious to go to France that he appealed to Washington to hurry him along. He finally was drafted in the August Twenty-one-year old class. Now he writes the following to his mother: "Before the armistice was signed the white people over here were real kind to the Colored boys, but now they are as mean to us as possible. Some of the boys from my company were sent on a "detail" to a neighboring hospital to build some latrines. They were built by the boys, yet they were not allowed to use them. One of the boys in the hospital now in a dying condition because he used one of the latrines. His skull-was fractured by one of the white soldiers. The next day one of the boys was shot at because he refused to "double time" (trot). The man who did the shooting was a major. The above is a mild sample of the treatment we are forced to put up with over here. Yet, we are still loyal to America, otherwise, still slaving for Uncle Sam. Please try to get me out of this prison country. I have heard that the white soldiers in a little German town turned a machine gun on some of the boys from my regiment while they were up there caring for some horses. These boys did not get the chance to fight the Hun, but they are now fighting for existence. I can not get to town. I am issued that if the Negro is sitting on that industrial school, content with the merest smattering of learning, when the world is calling for the trained mind in order that the hand might be better trained, his case is indeed a hopeless one. a four hour pass, it takes two hours REPORT CURRENT THAT U. S. GOVERNMENT WILL HONOR ONE OF OUR BLACK HEROES FIGHT ON SEGREGATION TO BE STARTED IN 66TH CONGRESS (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.—A bill was offered in the House of Representatives by the Hon. Martin B. Madden, entitled "A bill to regulate commerce, providing for equal and identical rights, accommodations and privileges for all persons applying for interstate transportation, and prohibiting discrimination on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, and for other purposes," which is practically a movement to abolish the so-called "jim-crow" car wherever this form of prescription is practiced. A strong committee is back of this bill, and it is the plan of the colored people to make a national effort to have the measure enacted into law by the Sixty-sixth Congress. Some of the prime movers in this work are Messrs. Henry Lassiter, W. J. Singleton, L. M. Hershaw, A. H. Grimke, and Judge Robert H. Terrell. FEDERATION OF NEGRO CLUBS MET IN N. Y. New York.—Delegates from more than 150 Negro organizations in New York and New Jersey assembled in convention this morning in the first session of a two day conference at Zion church in West 136th street. The meeting will be political in nature and will take up the problem of elections in the South, discussing measures for insuring the ballot to all Negroes entitled to vote. The formation or organizations through the North is looked upon as the first work in paving the way for effective action in the South. OHIO BLACKS MAKE WONDERFUL PROGRESS (Associated Negro Press) Cincinnati, Ohio.—The City Club, at its weekly meeting at the Hotel Sinton, listened to an address by J. H. Robinson, colored graduate of Yale and post-graduate of Columbia University, on conditions governing the Cincinnati Negro population. The speaker said two years ago he began to represent the Negro Civic Welfare Committee of the Council of Social' Agencies. "It has been difficult work," he said. "Twenty thousand telephone calls were made during the survey, which had the co-operation of Dr. Condon, superintendent of the public schools; the Public Library of (Continued on page 3) to walk to town and two to return to camp; the rest of the time I am allowed down town. I am well but sick at heart." Can't Use Bath Tubs Another well educated young man, who has been attached to the 804th Pioneer Infantry, writes: "We are located in a little town between Verdun and Metz, on the Orne River. The following order was issued on February 6: "Headquarters 3 Bn, 304 P. I. February 10, 1910 "Memo.—Men of the 3rd Battalion will use the showers only. Tub baths are reserved for the use of officers and white soldiers stationed here. All men will be notified of this arrangement. "By order of Major Garrett." The young man writes that, "although there was a light snow on the ground I went to the river and took a bath." 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year New York.—The United States government, through Secretary of the Navy Daniels, will name one of the big battleships now in construction after a colored hero, according to information recently received here. Tracona Williams, a prominent colored citizen who has been in Washington, says that the colored people of the State will be greatly pleased. He adds that the government will name a battleship only on consent of the colored people and when they pick a suitable name by vote. To this purpose Mr. Williams has called a mass meeting for Thursday to be held at Smith Hall, No. 321 S. State street at 8 P. M. Mayor Stone and Mr. Williams will address the meeting. Then voting will begin on a name for the man-of-war. This meeting will be the start to a nation-wide campaign to get the opinion of the colored people on the project. Mr. Williams has announced his intion of touring New York State in support of the movement which was started here. BIG BASEBALL GAME SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT EASTLAKE PARK BIG BASEBALL GAME SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT EASTLAKE PARK The Phoenix Base Ball Club, an aggregation of semi-professional players, will meet the soldier team from Fort Whipple Sunday afternoon at East Lake Park. The soldiers will arrive on a special train Sunday morning at 10 o'clock and will be met with a big brass band. They will be taken to the Adams hotel for lunch and afterwards be given a ride through the principal streets of the city. The big game will be called promptly at 3 p. m., and U. S. Captain Van Horn, manager of the Fort Whipple team, says that his boys will be there with the "big stick." Paul Steince is manager of the Phoenix team, Ross Lyall, captain, and Mickey McQuire secretary. Steince says that his boys are unbeatable and when the soldiers go up against Westfall's famous curves, they too, will say the Phoenix boys are in a class by themselves. Admission fee is 50 cents, but a season ticket may be purchased for $1. The Phoenix Base Ball Club intends to give this city a full season of first class base ball and will use East Lake Park for this sport. Every Sunday afternoon there will be an interestig game of baseball at this park between the Phoenix boys and some team from another section of the state. They intend to bring A team from Globe, one from Hayden, another from Ray, and so on until every town in the state will have had an opportunity to go down in defeat before this wonderful aggregation of Phoenix players. No fence has been placed around the park as yet, but city manager Thomas has promised to furnish the material for one and Paul Steince of the Phoenix team has agreed to furnish the labor for the erection of said fence. This Sunday, April 6, the public is asked to bear with the boys and by the next Sunday there will be a high-board fence around the base ball park. Everybody is invited to East Lake Park Sunday afternoon. The only requirement is that you have the price and that you "root" for your home team.

To the Arizona Republican, the leading daily newspaper of the State, belongs the credit for our existence. In March, 1918, we decided to publish a newspaper for the colored people of Arizona. Our bank account was sadly depleted and we had only a few dollars in our pockets. The different printing shops were visited and their prices for publishing the Tribune were too high for us to consider. Mr. Fred O. Adams, of the Arizona Republican Job Department, made us a price that we could meet and for several months the Tribune was published at the Republican office. So great was the demand for advertising space that we were compelled to enlarge our little sheet, and it was then we were able to find a plant whose price was far below what the increased price would be at the Republican. We are there now and doing nicely. The management of the Republican has extended us every courtesy in the way of casting mats, loaning cuts, etc., and several editorial comments have been made on the Tribune and its management. Speaking of our anniversary number, the Republican said many things complimentary and on various occasions has published many articles favorable to the cause of the colored people. We doff our hat to the Republican and its efficient management. We recite the above chiefly for the benefit of our large family of out-of-town subscribers. Those of us who live in Phoenix, know the friendly feeling which exists between the blacks and whites, and, so, are not surprised at the friendly attitude of the white editors in this community.

He believes that no movement will be successful unless started by white men and he himself acting as their figure-head; that is, with no thoughts of his own, but simply a catspaw and a traitor to his race.

FRIENDLY ATTITUDE NO SUCH ANIMAL IN ARIZONA (Wichita Protest, Wichita, Kansas) object and purpose the securing of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness for his people? What respectable and progressive Negro wants to be "cooped" up in Jim Crow cars? What intelligent Negro wishes to continue in the loathsome state of disfranchisement, which is simply taxation without representation? What red-blooded American Negro wants to continue to see his people mobbed and lynched? Any Negro who is against such a just cause is not fit to hold the public confidence and should be looked upon with contempt and scorn by his fellowmen. Then, one other thing to bear in mind—what would the white people think if they learned that there are Negroes who are base enough to fight a movement that is meant for their own good? It is true that the white man uses the "White Folks' Negro" whenever he needs him, but deep down in his heart he despises him. No man likes a coward and a traitor, and that is what the term "White Folks' Negro" signifies. Trust not the Negro, big or small, who is against any movement for the good of his people. Shun him and heed him not, for he is dangerous. WINSLOW By Mrs. C. E. Bloice Mrs. C. E.

A Tailor-Made Man Looks Better—Mr. W. J. Jones, manager of the Palace Tailoring Company, 419 East Washington street, believes that every man should have at least one tailored-to-measure suit, if he wants to look and feel like a well dressed man Jones is selling tailor-made suits, fit material and workmanship guaranteed, priced as low as $18.50. He has a bunch of satisfied customers who are singing praises to him and new customers are being added to his list daily. Jones is a great believer in Printer's Ink and uses lots of space in the newspapers to tell about his tailoring business and the unbelievable low prices at which he can make guaranteed suits. Last week he sold $225 worth of tailored-to-measure clothes in a single day. At the rate he is going, every well-dressed man in Phoenix will soon be wearing a tailor-made suit purchased of the Palace Tailoring Company. It costs nothing to look over his fine line of samples and may be the means of a big saving to your pocket book. Better take a look at them.

OHIO BLACKS MAKE PROGRESS (Continued from page 1) ficials, heads of various institutions and agencies and public school teachers. There are today 35,000 colored people in Cincinnati. The large colored wards are the eighteenth, sixteenth, third, fourth and thirteenth. There is only a small remnant of the large population that once lived between Broadway and Sycamore street, along the river front. A very small percentage of the Negro population was born in Cincinnati. Most of the Negroes have come from Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia in the order named. Men Predominated In all other places, North and East, among the Negro population there is a surplus of women. In Cincinnati the men represent 65 per cent of the Negro population out of 54 per cent of the total population of the city. "The reason for the large predominance of our male Negro population is that their progenitors came to Cincinnati in large numbers on steamboats from the South. Besides, Cincinnati was a station of the so-called 'underground railroad,' along which slaves were spirited into Canada before the Civil War. Then, again, of recent years large numbers of Negroes came from the south in search of higher wages, but they did not stay long enough because other cities offered larger than they could obtain here. "In our survey we found that south of Seventh street the houses of the Negroes were dilapidated, unsanitary and overcrowded. In Walnut Hills we found better conditions, and modest tenements afforded by Cincinnati capitalists. Employment Crux Problem "The question of occupation forms the crux of the Negro problem. If the colored people of Cincinnati received a larger income with better housing facilities they would not be as they are today. We found that women were chiefly employed as laundresses and maids, but that lately factories have been employing them. The men are laborers, chauffeurs, roofers, carpenters, janitors, plumbers' helpers, elevator men and messengers. There are 3,455 colored men in the employ of large firms. The Negro, in many instances, is thrifty, and is becoming more so. On Lincoln avenue, Wainut Hills, there are nineteen houses owned by Negroes, valued at $135,000. In other parts of the city there are 450 Negroes owning 1,100 homes which have a value of $2,350,000. One real estate dealer sold 200 locuses in nine years to Negroes, and out of 200 only 3 failed to make good in completing payments. "It is, therefore, in the western and southern parts of the city that the conditions nearly need correction, not only for the good of the Negro, but for that of every class and race of the population in the prevention of disease." NEGRO CITY COMMISSIONER (Associated Negro Press) Detroit, Mich.. April 11: Charles H. Mahoney, a Negro attorney, has been named as a member of the city plan- ning commission by Mayor Couzens. The appointment completes the personnel of this body, comprising nine members. The mayor said he had named Mr. Mahoney to represent the large colo- red population of the city in the housing problems which will be taken up by the commission.

PAGE THREE The Popular's 3d ANNIVERSARY Sale Three years ago the Popular first opened its doors with a stock of about $8,000. From the very first it carefully studied the people's needs with a determination to supply these needs at lowest possible prices. The growth of the Popular has been marvelous, until in 1919 we have assembled here a stock of merchandise valued at $75,000. Three years of advancement because of right merchandising principles have won your patronage and maintained it. —for what occasion could be more worthy of a sale celebration? In all these 36 months of merchandising we have never assembled values the like of these. Thousands and thousands of dollars' worth of quality merchandise will be distributed at a mere fraction of their actual worth—in many cases at less than wholesale or factory prices—at prices so low that every person in Arizona should find a personal interest in the Popular. No matter what you want in Dry Goods, Men's Wearables and Shoes, we have it on sale at a big reduction in price. The few items surrounding this Ad. must give you a hint of the feast which is waiting for you here. Come-Saturday if possible-but be sure and bring along your pocketbook to carry home the money you are saving! BISBEE The entertainment given by Mesdames Garret and Suddoth at the Masonic hall proved a grand success. The entertainment was given for the benefit of the Daughters of the Tabernacle and the hall was filled to overflowing. A delightful turkey dinner was served after which a splendid program was rendered by the children. Twenty-eight dollars were realized. The following Daughters donated for the dinner: Mesdames Dora Rose, Eva Page, Mamie King, Weaver. Friends to donate for this cause were: Mrs. S Hill, Mrs. W. H. Young, Mrs. L. J. Harris. Miss Mayme King had a birthday last Thursday and was the recipient of many beautiful gifts from Mrs. Shumate and the girls at the Owl, where she is employed. Among the many gifts were ten pieces of French ivory, a beautiful cut glass bowl and a good whipping thrown in. Mrs. John Suddoth entertained, complimentary to Mesdames Weaver and Mrs. M. V. Williams. An appetizing poodle supper was served and all enjoyed the spread. At a late hour the guests departed, both complaining of a pain in the side, which pain was not caused by the noodles, but from laughter. Mrs. Suddoth kept her guests laughing throughout the evening. RAY By Archie Lewis Corporal Willus Wright of Hayden, who spent nine months in the army over seas, spent Thursday and Friday in Ray as the guest of his boyhood friend, Archie Lewis. Mr. Wright was in the motor transport corps and was later selected as chauffeur for a general. He was surprised that so little had been said in the newspapers over here about the valiant deeds and the good work of the colored boys over there. Corporal Wright spoke very highly of the French people. He says there is absolutely no color line or prejudice in France. The color of a man's/heart is all that counts over there, said Corporal Wright. Mr. Wright is an expert on motors, having taken a complete course in the government motor school in France. After spending a few weeks in Hayden with relatives, he will locate in Ray. Mr. Milton Guyer, who left Ray about three years ago, returned last Sunday. He states that he has traveled some since he left here, but there is no place like Ray. Mrs. E. A. Henderson is confined to her home with an attack of tonsilitis.

Mose Davis, his opponent, received two votes and has been arrested on suspicion of repeating. The Tribune representative received a photo of Corporal Frank H. Clark who is now in France and the likeness is good. Frank writes that he is very busy and does not know when he will be sent home. uma-Somerton Mr. Thos. D. Sheldon visited points in Southern California last week, returning later to this city. Immediately after Mr. Sheldon's departure, Mrs. Thos. D. called at the Tribune headquarters and paid for another year's subscription to the paper. She feared that Mr. Sheldon would get lost and she said that she knew the Tribune would locate him. Mr. Sheldon returned in due season without having to be traced by the Tribune.
