On the ground floor there are two elaborate and spacious store rooms, one of which is divided into suites for the accommodation of real estate firm. The store room facing on Main street. besides having large windows in the front, has ar tistic skylights running the full length of the store to the rear. mak- ing it ideal for a mercantile estab- lishment. The whole building covers a space of about 80 by 90 feet, on the most convenient corner in Mesa.
 There is basement for engine rooms, for steam heating the build ing, and large space for storage pur- poses.
 Running from the store room on Main street is hallway at the rear that opens on Mcdonald street at the entrance to the stairway leading to There are sixteen offices on the sec Ond floor all finished in the most modern way, besides lavatories for both men and women.

in winter. The front on both streets is built of brick and marble, of the most massive construction. In fact the entire building is massive, built of the strongest material and as solid as money and the best material can make it.
 The bank itself is large. presenting at once the thought of stability and beauty. Nothing has been left un- done here to bring out the maximum effect of rich material and design There are two vaults, one-for money and one for books and papers. H. Kircherfer the noted decorator of Phoenix, has made the interior of the bank a picture, work of art. The walls and ceiling are done in the Tiffany effect, in gold, old ivory and ornamental plaster high lighted with gold. Kircherfer, whose work stands out strong in this building. also dec orated the lobby of the Adams hotel the Commercial hotel many of the finest homes in Phoenix. including the Edward Eisle house. He also decorated the National Bank of Ari- zona interior, the CentraN bank and the ValleN bank
 B. F. Snyder of Chandler did the tinting and all painting of the new Mesa Bank building, except the bank ing room itself Clinton Campbell was the geneyal contractor who con structed the building. He sublet the work to at least a dozen other con- tractors, all of whom used only the best material and the best of work manship. The result is that the structure is not only one of the very best of it's kind in the state but also ore of the most beautiful from an architectural standpoint.
 The. Salt River Valley bank itself is one of the bulwarks of the Mesa district and of course has been very instrumental in the upbuilding of the community to it's present high state of efficiency and thrift.
 The officers and directors of the Salt River Valley bank are Robert Scott, president. William M. Beach; vice president and cashier. S. l. naughty, assistant cashier; l.. E Holccmb, assistant cashier; W. w

tsBirth of A NatiOn' Comes
 for Return Engagement Here

So great has been the success of the D.. w. Griffith historical spectacle, "The Birth of a Nation," all over the country, that time and time again it was not possible to accomodate the crowds. Everywhere line of in tending purchasers forms at the box office in the morning and it seldom disappears until the box office closes for the evening.
 There is a reason tor this tremen- dons popularity of the spectacle bearing the Griffith signature, which will be seen at the Best theater two nights, Friday and Saturday, May ii and 12, with matinee Saturday.
 In fact, there are many reasons, one being the wonderful detail of photo- graphy, the remarkable sweep and vast comprehensivenes of the null titudinons scenes. For the proper enactment of the views Of battles of the Civil war upon the screen, thousands of men and horses were utilized. Great num5crs of men, women and children were used to give variety to pictures showing the departure of troops for the front,

Ijubilations over victory, or scenes of mob violence.
 At close range is seen the great liberator, Abraham Lincoln, and his assassination in the crowded Ford's theater is one of the most deeply im- pressive reproductions of an histori- cal happening that has ever yet been visualized on the serene.
 Of great value is tl.c accompany Ing music arranged by Joseph Carl Breil. In this score are melodies of war times, martial tunes, national airs, tripping dance tunes, and bits Of grand opera that fairly illuminate and interpret the scenes unfolded to the eye. There is always the tens- est interest as the picture is shown and Griffith with rare art permits no tagging lnattention. There is con- stant shift from grave to gay, from romance to intrigue.
 The play has it's foundation in that sensational novel, ''Thea Clansman." but Griffith has utilized this tale only to the extent of providing a humanly appealing story which he has. en- vveloped with the trutbs of history.

Duty.

Neutrality-suspicious. than 5000 Ma
tional Guardsmen, now on the Mexican
border, have been designated by Ma
jor General Funston for return home
and muster out of the Federal service,
under the order issued by the Val De-
partment.
All these organizations will be start
ed homeward as soon as transportation
facilities can be provided. Their de-
parture will leave between As, 900 and
$4,000 men of the guard still in the
Federal service doing border patrol.
Wan Department officials continue
to withhold comment on reports that
the movement of General Pershing's
regulars out of Mexico soor will be
under way, and the statement an
nouncing the %guardsmen designated
for relief does not connect these Or
ders with the withdrawal plans in
any way. The understanding has
been. however, that with the return
of the expedition in Mexico, and re-
adjustment of the border patrol, all
of the state troops gradually wound be
sent home.
The departments statement said:
General Funston has selected these
organizations chiefly in accordance
with the rule of returning first those
troops longest in service on the bor-
der. To some extent, however, this
rule could not be followed without
unequal weakening of the border
guard, and the departures from it are
so explained. The total strength of
the organizations selected is %, 243."
The guardsmen designated for re-
turn and muster out include:
North Carolina-First Infantry.
South Carolina-Troop A, cavalry,
company A, engineers; field hospital
company.
Tennessee - Ambulance company,
