"OUR BLACK DEVILS"

soldiers dubbed the Alpine chssseur
The Blue Devils because OF the color
OF their uniforms and their fearlessne~.
and ferocity TO combat. the same enemy
now have come to speak of the Negro
Americas Black Devils. because OF
their skins and their bravery in the face
OF tire.
No greater compliment could be paid
our soldiers than for the enemy to 30 ex-
press his respect for their lighting ability
and his 1srsI Of facing them with cold
steel.
Ii will be remembered that when the
irst OF our Negro troops were landed in
France the Prussian military authorities
ridlculed any suggestion that the black
recruits from the cotton fields and SHOPS
Of the South would prove formidable an
tagonists on the field of battle. But the
folks At home" had ample confidencr
IN the colored boys-in their Willingness
and ability to fight and in their bravery
That confidence Was supported by his
tory OF which the Germans were sppar
enty ignorant: and once the Negroes
were put ou the firing line and given an
opportunity to display their wares"
our confidence in them Was proven sbun
dainty Justified.
And now Americas Black Devils" is

MESA BURGLARS DO BETTER: ROB HOUSE
 TWICE SAME DAY

MEIA, Aug. 22.- Mesa burglars broke their record on Tuesday when twice during the A hours they entered the Cecil Drew residence located in the northeast part of town. At sometime during the day the house was entered through the window, an ax being used to force it open. The entire house was gone through, drawers and closets be- ing ransacked and a quantity of articles taken. Mr. Drew is unable to estimate exact:;. the loss.
 Mr Drew spent the night with Rob- ert Reynolds and drove out to his home early Wednesday morning. This time he found that burglars once more had forced an entrance. A chest in which the silver had been stored was forced open and a number of pieces taken. several hats were stolen and trunks containing Mrs. Drew's clothing gone through. As Mrs. Drew is at the coast, it is impossible to make a definite statement of the amount taken.

MINISTER
 IF MESA |S CALLED
 ID ANOTHER PARISH

MESA, August 23.-Friends of Rev. Francis Bloy, returning from Prescott where the popular Mesa minister and family are spending the month of Aug uSt, report that he has recieved in struction to proceed to Globe at the eX- piration of his visit and take up the parish work of the Episcopal church at that place and Miami.
 This news will come as a great dis appointment to practically every man and woman in Mesa. For more than three years, Mr. Bloy and his estimabl family have resided here. His work for the church has been such as to firmly establish, free from debt, the church property, save small amount yet remaining on a new and attractive rectory, even this obligation being pro- vided for. Quiet and unassuming, yet with a wealth of affection for every human being needing assistance of any sort, the minister has endeared himself to the community to the extent even that there have been suggestions to the effect that the church authorities be petitioned by the citizens at large to permit a continuance of his pasorate here. This however, has not been done for the sole reason that even the clos est friends of MT. Bloy feel it will not be proper to interfere in the working plans of the ones in charge.
 As chairman of the local chapter of
 the Red Cross, the retiring minister
 has given many days of careful and wisely directed effort to the promotion of the organization, the result of his work being shown in the absence of friction among the workers and the large amount of sewing and other work turned out.
 No man in Mesa would be more missed in leaving than will Francis Bloy, the brave hearted, enthusiastic
 brother to all of whatsoever creed. He and his family will be a splendid ad dition to the community where they are to make their home.

GOVERNOR LEAVES
 ID ATTEND FEAST

Governor Hunt will leave tonight over the Santa Fe for Redlake to at tend the annual barbecue. The gov ernor evidently has something on his mind that won't take very long to un- load, for when asked whether or not he would speak at the outdoor celebra- tion. he said, "Yes, I'll speak if I'm asked to, of course. But it won't take me very long to say it.
 Upon the conclusion of the festivi- ties, the governor will return to Phoe- nix in his automobile, stopping only long enough to inspect some roads in the northern part of the state.

Burqlaries Continue

Mesa's regular nightly burglary oc- cured again on Wednesday night, fol- lowing in apparently logical sequence upon that of the home of Cecil Drew, the night before. This time it was the home of A. B. Heineman, situated i'll the northern part of town and at some distance from other residences. The Heineman's are in California, and neighbors noticed that the screen porch had been broken into. Investigation showed that the paddock to the door had been filed and everything ran sacked. All the bed clothes were ab- sent from the porch, but it is not known whethenthey had been removed by the owner before leaving for the coast.
 Residents of North Evergreen report that the residence of Mrs Rosina Johnson in the Evergreen addition has every appearance of having been en- tered, but since Mrs. Johnson is at San Pedro. Cal, it has not as yet been decided whether burglars have been at work Officers are Investigating the situation and hope to stop the activi- ties of the burglar shortly.

 PAVE MAIN STREETS

MESA, Aug. 23.-The frontage on South Mcdonald street leading to the depot has been signed up for the requisite amount and now that thor oughfare will be paved to the city limits. The four blocks now being paved represent one block each way leading from the intersection of Main and Mcdonald. With the streets of the town a full 100 feet from curb to curb, this represents a goodly outlay of money on the part of the property owners. The South Mcdonald paving just signed up calls for twenty foot strip on each side of an open space, which, doubtless will be set to trees, thus making a beautiful shady park extending for the full length of the paving.
