Arizona republican., 1914-03-11

ness man had been escorted to the roof garden for the excellent lunchon
 Now, that luncheon deserves at least paragraph by itself, well up toward the front of the narrative. 1.-the luncheon-Was served by a committee of ladies, whose names are here en- graved on tablets of white paper, as they have already been chiselled on the memories of those who were fortunate enough to 'get in on" the invitation:
 Mrs. Lloyd B. Christy, chairman, Mrs J. C. Norton, Mrs. Jno. Dennett, Mrs. Dwight B. Heard, Mrs. J. w. Doris. Mrs. w. G. Hartranft, Mrs. H. M. Blair Mrs. Winstanley.
 There were sandwiches in plural va rieties and maximum amounts. The coffee was steaming hot off an eltciric stove. Delectable pie! Yum! Yum! And Olives Olives with capital "O's" And air, and scenery, and attention from the envious ones in the near win lows of the Water Users building and Federal building
 There! Is that enough about the eats?
 Some Speaking
 When everybody had been d,-how satisfying, how completely satisfying is that phrase!-the speaking started Like all good speaking. it was short speaking. Amos A. Betts made the longest speech, but he couldn't help it. He just had to put in that funny busi- ness And then ha was co ,nuch Hitler than his cO-agitator of memberships Barrows that he had to say two words to make the same impression that his rival made with one
 But General Secretary Blair also spoke twice, in which he had both the others faded. He did the introducing, and said what they meant to say be- fore they got up, and forgot to say after they had started
 Betts was introduced first He saw that everybody was laughing-or smiling (this was one of the effects of the lunch) so he started in to be funny. He described how resplendent would be the appearance of the victorious Reds" when the tally was counted on
 
 "Blues" would be just that color when they found out how badly they had been showed under by the slips of paper signed by Red workers Then he became oratorical and went into re- sounding periods He touched upon the dignity of the Y. M. c. A. that it must maintain in Phoenix. It was an insti- tuition that all Arizona should point to with the same pride with which il viewed its other splendid organizations And right about here, while Betsy was pointing with some more pride somebody thought he had finished, and they started to applaud, and like the good little public speaker, he retired gracefully, making out that he intended it just that way.
 l George Fred Barrows started in tt remind Betts that the Blue ribbon: 1 had been affixed to the coat lapels O l HIS workers, and that Red was tn, emblem of second place His oratioi was expressed in these two words;
 Get 'em."
 The cheers for the speakers. tn lduleS, lHe fISl 1leSlHleIldl DdNu tfl' the armies were heard nine block away.
 The city of Phoenix has many form of divisions, but none so minutely cal culated as the campaign districts Eacl Colonel-and there are almost as man of them in this campaign as came ou of the Civil War, and settled heredi tarily in Kentucky-has a city square His envelope containing articles O war, code words, countersigns, march ing orders etc, was delivered yester day And the privates each receive separate and minute instructions.
 Most of the business part of Phoeni received a fine tooth combing yester day. It was a general lining up 0 prospects. Reports last night were ex tremely daily paperly good.
 It is quite probable, that at tn luncheons which the two generals wi tender their workers this noon. the ad ditional five hundred members will b
