Hyder Brothers, Patriotic Celebration Tonight
 Includes Parade and Thrift Stamp Demonstrati

Tonight is to be Hyder night in Phoenix.
 An event, unique of it's kind, which has grown in size and importance year by year until it has assumed pro- portions that place it among the Iead- Ing ones of the year, is the Hvder Brothers annual celebration, which will be held tonight in Phoenix.
 This sixth anniversary celebration ot Hyder Brothers, the yearly occasion Of their grand spring opening, has been planned with more care this year and carries with it more significance. being combined with a Thrift stamp demonstration that is expected to make this years event by far the greatest and most successful of it's kind ever held by Hyder Brothers.
 Marking the sixth anniversary of the opening of the Hyder Brothers store m Phoenix, the event this evening, which will be attended and enjoyed py thousands of people of this city and the neighhorinS valley, is tho acknowl- edgement of a highly-successf busi- ness institution of the splendid SUD- port given 1t by public appreciative Of a service that goes to extreme limits Tn providing what the people desire. a store of quality and courtesy. And 10 John Hyder in whose direct charge tne PhoeniX store has been all these years, it means much that is self satisfying; that the years of critical painstaking, unfailing effort have not been in vain.
 The beautiful store in Phoenix. the

business home of the Hyder Brothers. | to which the people of the city and valley are invited to visit and assist in the annual occasion, is tribute to the energetic labor of John Hyder and which to keep pace with the in l creasing business, has been enlarged and remodeled five times within the six years. The store at present is a credit to a city many times the size or Phoenix. It represents the best ideas of John Hyder who has made study of that particular business and has placed in the Phoenix estab- lishment many ideas of his own in ad- dition to those copied from the larger stores of the big cities.
 As a store of mems furnishing goods it is the last word. To a stranger en- tering for the first time it stamps the owner as man of enterprise, and the city as a coming metropolis. It is a store of character and one of which Phoenix is proud.
 Each year since Hyder Brothers opened this store in Phoenix, the an- niversary has been celebrated until the occasion has become firmly es- abolished in the calendar of Phoenix On each of these occasions the Hyder Brothers have been hosts to hundreds and thousands of people and the store has thereby become more firmly es abolished.
 This year, however the state of the world places a different tinge on every occasion, and the Hyder Brothers, from the first plans of this years celebra

DEMURRER IN FLAX
Case TO BE ARGUED
CrawfOrds Suit For $500
Bonus Comes Up For
Hearing Thursday

At 4 O'Clock next Thursday after
noon the attorneys in the case will ar
que demurrer filed by Attorney Gen
eral Brown in the suit brought by Rob-
ert Crawford, former superintendent
of the penitentiary flax plant, against
Governor Withycombe to compel the
governor to approve his claim for $500
bonus, which is due him under his
agreement with the state at the time
he was employed if he made financial
profit of the flax business. Crawford
was discharged last November by the
governor, who offered to pay half the
bonus but refused to pay it all. Craw-
ford submitted a statement showing
the state will make a profit of more
than 100000 off the flax he harvested.
The attorney general, representing
the governor, filed a demurrer to the
writ of mandamus raising
the technical objection that the circuit
court has no jurisdiction of the sub
ject of the suit, and also alleging that
the writ does not state facts sufficient
to constitute a cause cf action.
A stipulation was filed admitting
that Crawford had presented his claim
to the governor and that the governor
had replied in writing, offering to pay
Crawford "$400 on the so-called bon
