Dear Mrs, Writer Iady,' my letter ran. n.-~"Of course you love Birmingham and Birmingham loves you; but I'm sdy- ing to know what first gave you the idea of Writing MT.

FIRST REGIMENT
 BAND IS HEARD IN
 FAREWELL CONCERT
Large Crowd Hears Splendid Program ct Adams HoteI-Loving Cup Pre- scented by Mayor Young-Mu-
 nicipal Band Proposed

An audience that filled the side walks for two blocks on Adams street and Central avenue listened to q splendid concert by the First T;egi ment band at the Adams hotel last evening. The concert was in the na ture of a farewell performance, the band leaving this morning for the National Guard encampment al Gar den Canyon, and after that for a tour to the eXpositions.
 Every number on the program served to indicate the good work that the band has been doing during the past few weeks, and showed that the organization is in better shape than at any time in it's history. The spe~ cial numbers. including the solos by Mrs. Burris and the instrumental duets and solos, were especially fine The new instruments recently fur nished the band by the war depart lnent were used last night for the first time.
 A pleasing feature of the farewell concert last evening was the presen- tation of a handsome silver loving cup bv Mayor George U. Young, who, on behalf of the city, expressed the appreciation of the bands work and what it has become in the musical life of PhoeniX. In comFlimentlnG the members upon their work the mayor said that no other single orgamza- tion had done so much to elevate the musical standard in this city.
 Mayor Young proposed he bano be incorporated in q large municipal hand for Phoenix and pledged his support to such a movement. lie stated that the matter would be taken nm inst as soon as the band returns from it's trip to the coast, and ar ranged If possible.

 MEXICAN CHURCH FUND
Ninety Dollars Received as Ten Per Cent of Receipts of Sale at z4o
 East Washington Street

A cash subscription of ninety dol- lars was added to the building tund of the Mexican Catholic church last night when Harry Lefkovits proprle- tor of the store at 240 East Washing ton street, turned over his check for that amount to A. R. Redondo, presl- dent of the Sociedad Catholioa MeXl- cana. The amount of the check rep resented ten per cent of the gross re ceipts during the two days sale which closed last night, the manage ment having announced in advance that this percentage of the receipts would be set aside for the church
 The donation received last night adds materially to the fund, which was increased $4OO by the Kermesa given by the Primarosa society a week ago This week the Fl Paso store has announced that five per cent of the receipts of it's special sale will be turned over to the society The sale will last the entire week. The officers and members of the sc- cisty are warm in their appreciation of the assistance of the business men who are helping them in their efforts.

HOMEBU|LDERS USING
 Fl PASO'S NEW BRICK

Somthing new and durable, a. color restful to the eye. That is the description of Fl Paso brick given by Vernon Clark, of the products of the Fl Paso Brick company, of which he is the agent. That is the kind of brick the Homebuilders are now using. The first house of this kind of material was built for Greene and Griffin in Oakland ad- dition and has called forth much favorable comment. Plans are now under way for several larger houses in which Fl Paso brick will be used. Samples of it may be seen a the office of the Homebuilders.
 This brick was used in two Mesa residences of the best construction One is the residence of John Vance. The brick is pressed and mottled in color, smooth finish. The other IS the residence of John G. Spangler in which pressed brick with a rough face was used. This is the latest thing in high class construction This house will have a clay tile roof making it of absolutely class A construction.
