 SUNDAY IN OPEN

Sometime next Sunday afternoon, September 9, a special excursion train will be run from Phoenix to Wenden, to return Sunday night. leaving Wen den shortly after the concert to be given there at 7:30 o'clock, in the open air, by Madame Schumann- Heink, the worlds foremost contralto singer
 One way fare, or s4.65 will be charged for the round trip The pro- ceeds of the concert will be donated to the American Red Cross. The ad- mission fee will be one dollar.
 As for the program it is authori- tatively announced that it will be equal to any of the great divas offerings in the large cities on the occasion of her national tours. She will appear in Wenden with J. E. McNamara, the famous baritone of her company. and with them will be Miss Edith Evans. her own pianist on regular concert dates
 This will be the only opportunity to hear these famous singers in Arizona, this year. The explanation of it all is that a son of Madame Schumann- Heink is living at Wenden and her desire to stop over and visit him in his desert environment is all that makes this event possible.
 Announcement is made that those who wish can secure dinner at the Wenden hotel for fifty cents each.

WORK IF THE SAMMY bACKER' ABOUT T0 BEGIN
 HOW TO BECOME \ PAL IF 4 BUY IN FRANCE

Here is a chance for men who are beyond military age to perform an active service on the front, the western front, the Italian front, the Mesopo- tamian front or the Russian front, wherever the ''Sammies" may be sent. Be a Sammy Backer" To become a Sammy Backer" it is only necessary to undertake to become a correspond ent of some Arizona soldier to give him encouragement and news from home: to send him magazines. news papers, and such other gifts as sug geSt themselves.
 It will not be long before the Arizona boys will be on the way. When they are landed at the front, to many of them there will come a feeling of hay ing been cut off from their former lives. That will be bad for them; they will be the better soldiers for feeling that they are the personal representa- tives of some one living at home.
 Many of the "Sammies' will really have no one to represent except their country and while at that it is a pretty good representation there will be some thing vague and indefinite about it. Each "Sammie" would rather know that he is fighting for something more l tangible; for some person.
 The Republican proposes to organize a Sammy Backer" contingent. It is not the originator of the idea but it takes this method of endorsing it. Who will respond? This appeal is ad- dressed to men, The roll is open for enlistment in the Sammy Backers."
