CHAMBER OF CON-
MERGE PLANS DRIVE
FOR more MEMBERS
Membership Drive to Be Inaugurated
During the Week Of September
10th BY the MaysvlIle Cham
Der Of COmmerce-Teams
Are Selected.

AT recent meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce Nhe President appointed
Messrs. A. L. Glascock, C. s. Kirk and
Carl Dodds as the managing commit
tee to have charge of the membership
+ campaign during the week of Septem-
| Der 10th. The original three year
contracts of the members expire the
18th of November and the Directors
deemed 1t wise to put on the campaign
for the 1919 memberships before then.
The Managing Committee held a
meeting in the offices of the Chamber
of Commerce and made some plans
for the campaign. The campaign will
be for one year instead of for three
year contracts and the Committee
adopted the "Collect-as-you-go" meth
cd. This method Is enthusiastically
approved by the membership commit
tee, endorsed by members of all the
departm onts, aud unanimously adopt
ed by the board of directors. This
method was adopted in order to put
the organization on cash basis,
which places the treasury In a strong
position with definite amount that
can be depended upon. 1t eliminates
an unspeakable amount of work and
expense, such as preparing monthly
|
statements, writing collection letters,
making special calls on the delin-
quents, etc, which has always proven
to be drag and a burden on the
officers of the organization.
In this campaign the same method
which has been adopted by practically
all commercial organizations is to be
used. Two Divisions known as d.
vision "a" and Division "b" were Gre
ated, each being headed by a General
Four teams are included in each Di-
vision. Each team is headed by a
captain and composed of five workers
including the Captain In addition to
this organization there is a big

ing for plural memberships. The Cen

Der OF the United States Army and
that while there he was subject to
spells of insanity and that some times
he was put in straight Jackets" by
the army officers. He said that he
was drinking hard the day of the kill
ing and that he remembered nothing
from late in the afternoon until ar
rested at his home that night by the
police. He said he remembered moth
ing about killing his wife and did not
know she was dead until told of 1t by
the officers.
The defense also introduced Harris
mother who testified that since her
son returned from the Philippine Is
lands he had not been right mentally.
Two colored men were introduced
who swore that Harris was drunk on
the afternoon before the shooting and
DR.. Woodson Taulhee was also put
on the stand by the defense who ask
ed him a hypothetical question as to
the sanity or insanity of man who
acted as the defendant had acted as
described in the hypothetical Ques-
ton. DR.. Taulbee answered that such
action displayed very low mentality
Attorney A. D. Cole spoke for the
defendant. He plead insanity brought
on by illness in the Philippine Islands
and drunkenness. He made very
strong plea for his client.
District Attorney Grannis spoke for
the prosecution and presented the
case clearly to the jury. He said it
was the first case since he had been
in office in which he had questioned
the Jurors as to their conscientious
scruples on the death penalty and
while he did not plead with the jury
for the death penalty, he made 1t very
plain that the Commonwealth felt this
penalty should be inflicted instead Of
the life Imprisonment In the peniten-
tiary as was the other punishment
fixed in the instructions of the court.
At the close of Mr.. Grannis' speech
it was about supper time and the jury
WIS again placed in the hands of the
sheriff to be taken out in body for
supper.
They were returned to court~at $50
last night and Immediately were given
the case and taken to their room
where they remained until 9:10 when
they rang and coming into court re-
ported that they were thus far unable
to reach an agreement. Judge Newell
again turned the jurors over to the
sheriff with admonition to keep them
together until 9 o'clock this morning
when they were again brought back to
court and given the case for further
elaboration. They went Immediately
to their room to take up the case,
At 1910 this morning the jury rang
and was brought into court Mr.. S. A.
Shanklin, foreman, reported to the
court that the jury had agreed as to
the guilt of the defendant but was I'M
able to agree on the punishment
whether the electric chair or life in
the penitentiary. Judge Newell sent
them back to the room for further de-
liberation on this question.

Chandley-Ariz0na'S City Beautiful

velcety grass plots lend charming ef- feet of restfulness in the midst of the busy mercantile section. Even the store buildings have been erected with this same idea of grace and beauty. Along the main street of the town there are no ugly awnings, but pergoia effects lend a charm to the fronts of the buildings. In the magnificent San Marcos hotel this same effect is carried out to far greater degree and in early springtime when these pergolas are festooned with climbing roses, in their myriad colorings the front of the hotel is indeed one of the most beautiful spots to be seen In all of Arizona. All over the town are charming bungalows. In fact Chandler may well be described as the bungalow town. for the style residence which has lent such a charm to California cities. is used here most extensively. and even in the most humble homes there are these same pleasing touches. and few indeed of residences are there but that seem to strive for the beautiful.

CHANDLER. June 27-Tuesday was pay day Tor the Goodyear cotton em- ployes. and yesterdays throng of cus- toners in the various stores once more emphasized the fact that Chandler. the little city beautiful" is fast becoming a busy mart of trade. Perhaps mo- where in the Salt River valley has the advent of the long staple cotton had a greater effect for community pros- perity than the town situated just north of the great Goodyear acreage.
 When the town of Chandler was first conceived in the mind of it's founder, Dr. A. J. Chandler, he had not so much desire to build a business place as one that should be ideal for the wealthy tourist and a delightful home town for all who might desire to settle within it's borders.
 With this thought in mind the town was laid out In the center of a large square is a park set with lowbending graceful trees. while cement walks and

 IN CHANDLER TOWN

CHANDLER, June 27.-War savings stamp drive is on in earnest in Chand- Ter. Chairman P. M. James reports the committees hard at work and a satisfactory number of people signing up pledges to save money and loan it to the government for war purposes. Exact totals were not available yes- terday, but the workers are enthusi- astic over the prospect that Chandler will go over the top. The district has been subdivided and 30 sub- secretaries are handling every portion of the sub divisions reaching out several miles each way from town.
 A meeting of these workers was held last night at the San Marcos hotel and plans for a satisfactory termination on Friday of the present drive, were made, and will be carried out.

LEADER STORE ID
 PLAN FUR FUTURE

CHANDLER, June 26-Joseph Fried berg, proprietor of the Leader Dry Goods store has purchased 50-foot front lot at the opposite end of the main business street from the Suhuara club. The lot faces the north, and standing in the center of the end Of the street will make a conspicuous location for a storeroom which the owner has in mind for some time in the future.
 MT. Friedberg finds his present quar- ters very cramped, stocked as the room is to the ceiling with merchan- disc, and the seven members of the sales force having a difficult time handling the increasing trade. No definite time has been set for the bs- ginning of the new building, but the purchase of the lot will find the Leader prepared for the day when the present store room will be all too small.

PATRIOTIC LEAGUE
 PLANS FUR FOURTH

CHANDLER, June 27.-The Chand- Ter Patriotic league will hold an i'm portant meeting on Monday night next at 9:30 o'clock. The matter of the fourth of July celebration is to be de- cided on and other questions are to be discussed. A large attendance is urged.
 It appears to be a unanimous senti- ment that Independence day should be duly celebrated in Chandler. The ques- ton of joining in with Phoenix met at first with favorable consideration, but the citizens believing that there would be hundreds of ranchers and. many town folk, who would not have auto conveyance to the capitol city, are con- sidering that it is the towns duty to hold a great patriotic celebration here. The committees on the celebration are already at work making plans and if it be the sense of Monday nights meeting that the fourth be observed, the plans will be laid before the assembly and active work begun.

Grocers Favor Early CIosinq

Joe Smith, R. M. Meeks, H. Lukin, Del Williams and I. Wolpe, were the Chandler merchants in attendance up- on the food conservation meeting held at Phoenix on last Monday night, fol- lowing the discussion of the Thursday afternoon closing, the Chandler grocers decided to close at 6 o'clock every day except Saturday, but took the matter of the Thursday closing under advise ment. A number of the merchants seem to think that with the early closing each day and remaining closed all dHv Sunday. there is allowed sufficient time for recreation to all the merchants and their employees. The business men interviewed on the subject, mentioned the fact that the ranchers are very busy at this time of year and should find the stores open in case they needed to come into town for any sup plies
 However, the question will be put up to all the grocers and under the Chandler plan. the majority vote will decide. The grocers will close all day on July 4.

 It is the desire of those In charge that this number may be just doubled tomorrow, as there are still several more machines and any amount of hand work for those who prefer thaf work.
 Everyone actually forgot the heat the rooms are so pleasant, and the room for the little folks was equally enjoyed while the mothers were sew ing. Mrs. Gilliland will be sewing su- pervisor for the day and Mrs. Sanders and Mrs. Jones will be ready to give assistance with the knitting.

MESA RED CROSS
 DECIDES ID QUIT
 FUR SUMMER

MESA. June 27.-At a meeting of the executive committee of the Mesa branch of the Red Cross it was de- cided to cease active work at the local headquarters during the months of July and August.
 The Mesa branch has completed more than double the amount of work requested of it, and within q few days a list of this completed work and the money raised and ex- pended will be published, which will be convincing as to it's magnitude.
 The committee wishes it made plain that there has been no grumbling on the part of the good women who nave spent one or more days each week for more than year past at the rooms sewing. Rather, it is stated by Chairman Bloy, they are anxious to continue. However, with the two months rest much more may be accomplished during the cooler weather, besides the delay will permit the monthly payments to ac- cumulate a fund with which to buy supplies. It has been a difficult matter lately to keep the purchasing committee supplied with funds owing i to the rapidly mounting price of all sewing and knitting materials.
 An effort win be made to secure the use of the Red Cross room as a rest room for the soldiers from Roosevelt and Granite Reef. These | men come to Mesa and it is to be | regretted that they have absolutely no place where they may lounge al ease, smoke, write or read.
 | The work of the service depart ment of the Red Cross will be con- | tinued actively during the summer This comprises civilian relief, ant 1 the securing of allowances for fami- I lies, etc.

flowers and shrubs abound while in season the roses of Chandler are matter of wonder to the tourists who has been taught to think of Arizona as desert cactus and sandy waste.
 There is much to be said of this charming Southside town. much of it's business enterprise, it's patriotic par ticipation in all matters asked by the government, it's splendid prospects, it's fertile tributary territory, and it's open handed hospitality. but such is not the purpose of this little article. Rather it is just the impression of one who has frequent occasion to visit the southside cotton center and who each time revels in the beauty and charm of its stores, It's parks, its homes and its wonderful hotel. and who enjoys to the full the hearty handclasps and cordial greet ings of its people. Have you visited the place? It is at its best in the very early spring, but even now the sun has not withered its green beauty and you will enjoy a Sunday afternoon drive to charming Chandler.

 Perhaps the biggest artificial light in the world is the 50,0OO, 000- candle power light installed at the falls of Niagara. When this gigantic ln- stallation was made it was claimed to be the nearest approach to the real sunshine ever devised by man, and that may be true. But is inter esting to ascertain, if possible, how much it fell short of the actual out put of light by our great luminary:
 How many lights equal to the Nj agara installation would it require to match Dame Natures big installation which appears above the horizon su regularly day by day?
