When the matter was called TO the
attention of several bankers and other
hnanciers they declared they had
heard the rumor. too, but nothing
more and further than that they de-
clned to discuss the report, stating
that nothing OF tangible nature had
come under their notice.
From another source, however it
was learned that a well-known resi-
dent of Winchester, who is in no way
connected with the financial or bust

Gently obtained an option on all the
property OF the American Straw board
Company, consisting OF about fifteen
acres of land. south Of town, and that,
although the option expired on Au-
gust 9Th, II had been extended for
some time. probably until the second
week of September.
The option. It was stated. was OBJ
tanned as a result of a conference
held by the Winchester man with
high official of the American Straw
board Company, which took place in
the Raleigh Hotel. in Washington,
recently.
The gentleman who secured the OPP

clined 10 allow his name to be used.

cause he did not know what action
may be taken by the interests for
which he has been acting.
He likewise declined to state
whether he was conducting negotia-
tions for the Du Pont Powder Com
parry or some other concern, but he
admitted that the reports circulated
about town contained some element
of truth and foundation.

BUSINESS MEN WILL
 ENLARGE OBJECTS OF
 THEIR ORGANIZATION
Name of Association Is Changed to Warren District Business Mems Association; Objects Considerably Enlarged.

The regular meeting of the Business Mems Protective Association, last evening, proved to be of more than usual interest; inasmuch, as it was shown that there was a desire to broaden the objects, for which the as- sociation was originally organized- the establishing Of a system, by which it's members could safely grant cred it's.
 The success of the recent Fourth of July celebration, exhibited an eyi- dence of what could be done by united efforts, in the face of passive opposi- tiCn, that seemed to indicate failure of attempts to have an entertainment, worthy of comparison with former e'- forts It is entirely within the truth tosay, that for the persistent deter imitation of President White, of the association. there would have been no organized celebration in Bisbee on July 4, 1915. This success proves what can be done by united efforts, directed by intelligent determination to the accomplishment of plans in tended for the general welfare of the public.
 In order to broaden the scope of the usefulness of the association, it was determined to change the title of the organization, to that of The Warren District Business Mems As- sociation; and to undertake and en- dorse any movements that promise good results for the people of the Warren District.
 Much can be accomplished by this organization, and every business man of the district should become a mem Der, and contribute his share to build up the association to a poin where greater results can be attained.
 Every public spirited man should give his unqualified support to this movement and every member should make an earnest effort to increase the membership. If you are interested in the district, you should help main tain 1t and assist in it's up-building.

Seldom has there been an event among the younger element of the city, more replete with wholesome en- joyment than was afforded by the dance, last evening, at the Phelps Dodge Store clubhouse, at which the men employees were the hosts to the ladies.

The event will be remembered by all those par ticipating in it, as one of the really pleasant features breaking the monot- ony of every day routine.
 An elaborate color scheme of white and yellow was carried out in a charm ing manner, completing one of the prettiest decorative effects noticed at recent local functions. Refreshments of cakes, fancy ices and punch were served Over 50 couples were on the floor,
