WOMAN'S CLUB WILL
 REPEAT |TS SUCCESS

A request has been made for repe- tition of the play given on Goodfellow- ship day, by members of the Mesa Woman's club. This play was rendered before an audience composed entirely of club members and few guests. It has been decided to repeat the per- formance for the general public on Tuesday, March 25. The play, The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" is a clever French satire, full of amusing situations. and met with an enthusias- tic reception on the occasion of it's first rendition by local talent.
 The proceeds will be devoted to a building fund which has been started with a liberty bond heretofore pur- chased by the club. While it is req hzed that the building, of necessity, must be something to be erected, per- haps several years in the future, yet the club has resolved to set itself steadfastly toward the final realization of it's hopes in this direction. At the meetings there has been discussed the great advantage to be obtained through having a woman's club building in combination with town library and Red Cross work rooms. So enthusiastic have the women become over the mat ter that they are actually discussing

COYOTE FORUM WILL
 DEBATE MESA TEAMS

The Coyote Forum of the Phoenix High school. will be in it's first debate this year with another school when it will put up two debating teams against Mesa High school, one team debating at Mesa and the other at home, Friday. March 29.
 The teams will consist of two debat- CTS and one substitute. The question about which the rival debating teams will wrangle is, Resolved, That Uni Versal Military Training is Desirable"
 Joseph Thalheimer, Jr.. and Betty Barry make up the affirmative team for the Coyotes. and will go to Mesa to meet the negative Mesa team. Cecil Turner will act as substitute. In Phoe- nix, Coyote negative team will de- bate a Mesa affirmative team. The Phoenix negative team consists of Nor- man Chaney and Edna Hawkinson. The substitute will be Siegle Hatcher.
 Norman Chaney, the president of the Coyote Forum and a member of the Oratory and Debating society, feels confident that the local Organization will be able to defeat the Mesa contin- gent, but also is we'll aware of the fact that the team to be defeated is one that is practiced in the art of arguing and oratory.
 Last Wednesday afternoon the elim- nation and tryouts were held by the Coyotes to determine just who was to be in the team to meet the opponents of Mesa. In this tryout. Joseph Thal- heimer, Jr., Edna Hawkinson and Siegle Hatcher argued the negative side against Betty Barry, Norman Chaney and Cecil Turner the defender of the question. The negatives won out finally.
 The big debate will consist of 15- minute speeches by each member of the opposing teams with three minute rebuttals by each side. The affair will be judged by prominent men of the valley.

MAGAZINE IF RED CROSS |S POPULAR

A plea to refrain from registering complaints as to non- n-delivery of the Red Cross magazine, was received yes- terday, and reasons for the delay given.
 Notice from the magazine headuuar- ters is as follows:
 Red Cross magazines have invariably been mailed from here to Christmas drive subscribers within 10 days after receipt of their names at this office.
 And this has been done in spite of the fact that nearly 450,000 names have been received since January l. Every list has had to be counted and &C., Every name has had to be stenciled, proof read and filed. The files have had to be arranged alpha betically by postoffices and wrappers addressed.
 Four of the largest printing estab- lishments in America have been manu- ' featuring the magazines day and night. Probably no other magazine has ever had such a task or such rapid growth in circulation--from 240,00 last July to 1,300,000.
 If, therefore. your secretary has had from us the form acknowledgement of receipt of your lists. pleace do not write complaints concerning non-receipt of magazines, but bear in mind that the magazine class of mail is terribly con- gested all over the country, that trans portatiou facilities are poor and in many cases it is taking weeks for the postoffice and railroads to deliver pail that is usually delivered in few days

APPEAL MADE FUR MEMBERS FUR THE
 WORKING RESERVE

The first call for boys to join the Boys Food battalion for the coming summer period was vigorously put be- fore the boys of the assembled student body of the high school, yesterday, by several prominent men of the city and members of the faculty.
 Strong reasons were brought out as to just why every young American boy between the ages of IS and 21 should enlist and spend the summer in lucrative and patriotic work for Uncle Sam.
 The first speaker was MT. Johnson of the high school faculty, teacher of war horticulture. He made a prelim- mary address to the pupils and stated the aims of the organization.
 Principal R. Thane Cook then intro duced Dwight B. Heard, who, with his convincing manner of speaking, had the boys on his side at once, and then proceeded to tell them why they should enlist in the reserve, and of the bene- fits that would result. His talk was short but to the point, and his words left an impression upon the student body that cannot be made by an or dinary speaker.
 When Mir. Heard had taken his seat, midst ringing applause, Principal Cook introduced Lin B. Orme. state manager of the Boys Working reserve, who with splendid oratory told of the work in hand, the necessity for immediate action and the duty that is before every red blooded boy.
 W. W. Carpenter then made talk on the subject before the house. He told of the vast benefits to be gath cred and of the patriotic service thus rendered. He promised better camp conditions for the battalion this sum- mer and told of the fine times enjoyed by the reserve last year. The assembly was dismissed then after a talk by H. Stauffacher followed by the playing of the national anthem by the school band and the repetition of the flag salute by the entire assembly.
 The Boys Working Reserve, or food battalion, this year will be even a greater success than the one of last summer. It will be larger and better in every way. With such an able man as Lin B. Orme directing and with such men as w. W. Carpenter and Mir Johnson in the field service, nothing but success can be predicted for the organization.
 A plat of land enclosing five acres has been loaned to the reserve. and five boys will be picked by competitive ex- animation to farm the section, all tools and implements needed to prepare the land, all seeds for planting and water for irrigation will be donated free to the five lucky boys. To farm the land will require but a few days away from the regular work with the reserve.
