FORMER PHOEN|CIAN
 DIES IN OKLAHOMA
s. N. Phillips Once Member of Coun-
 cil From Third Ward

Word was received here yesterday of the death of Sanford N. Phillips, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Satur- day, February 12, with announcement that the funeral will take place there this afternoon at 3 o'clock. under the auspices of the odd Fellows.
 MT. Phillips was well known in Phoenix some. twenty or twenty-five years ago, having come here with his family from Iowa and this being the family home for long time. At that time he had numerous relatives in the valley all of whom have moved away except a niece, Mrs. G. H. Rothrock and her immediate family A son Prentice A. Phillips, now dead, was for a long time in the local railroad ser vice.
 S. N. Phillips was well along in years when he came here so that though he was identified with the city. was a property owner and more or less interested in local civic and po- litical affairs, he was never extensive ly engaged in business in Arizona. He served one term as councilman from the third ward. A numberF of years ago he moved to Oklahoma where numerous of his relatives resided. Dur ing his residence here he was affiliated with the local lodge of Odd Fellows in all it's activities and was one of it's most highly respected members.
 He had not been in good health for a long time and being a sufferer of asthma spent much of the last year or so in the higher altitude of Raton, N. M., going back to Oklahoma a few months ago.

Ho the Merchants and Business Men of Phoenix:
 This association having decided to ein" and cooperate with that ma tiOnal movement, National Pay-up- Week. February 21 to 26 plan has been formulated by committee ap- pointed and the work is advancing along their outlines.
 The success of the campaign depends upon the cooperative work of all merchants by working to one end, and all doing the same thing at the same time, thus making the force irresistible and giving the greatest possible result. The expense of this campaign is all ready arranged for and a generous supply of advertising matter will be furnished every business house free, whether a member of this association or not We will have poster stamps to be used on all envelopes and parcels sent out during the campaign; bulls eye posters to be put in every avail able place; colored pennants to be used in stores and window decorating and large two color window display cards. By using the uniform posters and ad- vertising matter and everybody doing the same thing, no individual assumes responsibility so that the public will not charge that the plan is simply one mans plan to collect money.
 Throughout the United States this uniformity will exist in the campaign and all are following the same plan. In yesterdays report from headquar- ters it was estimated that more than 1500 cities will join in this campaign.
