.COLORED POPULATION
 .OF PHOENIX RALLIES. FUR LOAN TOMORROW

Sunday evening at Irvine park, Ninth avenue and West Grant street, the colored population of Phoenix and the county will hold big meeting. which will be rally in support of the Victory loan drive. The program will start at s o'clock sharp.
 An interesting and thrilling program has been arranged, with something of interest in it for everyone. A military band will supply martial music, and good speakers who have seen actual service in France will tell of their per sonal experiences.
 The principal speakers win be three overseas colored soldiers, Pvt Brown, of the 369th infantry: Sgt Ford White, 249th machine gun battalion, and Pvt. Lloyd Shomo, of the 317th supply train. These boys have all seen war at close range, and their stories will be inter esting in the extreme. Private Brown was a member of the old 18th New York national guard, colored, under Colonel Bill Hayward, which was the first unit to land in France, and the first to fight. His organization earned the name of ''The Rattlesnakes,' through capturing the famous Rattle Snake Hill in as many hours as 1t had previously taken the French in months. Brown fought all through the war, without being once wounded.
 Sergeant White fought at the Ar gonne and the Maubeuge sector, as did Private Shomo, and at the time of the armistice these boys were sta tioned on the pivot sector near Metz.
 The colored population of Arizona, as of the entire United States has all ways done its share of everything con- nected with this war. Their fighting men were among the first and best we sent to France, and here at home they lent monetary support to the best of their ability.
 It goes without saying that our colored citizens will stick. And this meeting is the start of the finish of the job. Every colored person in this city and it's environments is urged to attend.

ARIZONA RIVERS ID
 BECOME NURSERIES
 .-FOR EASTERN CLANS

How would you like to have a good old fashioned clambake, right here in Arizona, like you used to have back east in "the good old days"
 You cannot do it today or tomorrow, but you will be able to in a few years, if the plans now being matured by the state game warden, Joe V. Prochaska, work out properly.
 He is arranging to plant the big eastern fresh water clans and mussels in Arizona rivers, in the Salt, Verde, White and Black rivers, and if they grow and multiply properly the time will soon be here when chowder parties and clambal1es will be regular features of the landscape.
 Fresh water crawfish, or, more prop efly, "crayfish," are to be planted here, too, and they have a multitude of uses- The big ones, that attain a length of some six or eight inches are fine when broiled or made into what the Italian fisherman calls a "chapine"- though he may not spell it that way and the young crawfish, say about the size of your little finger or less, make the finest bait; ask any old fisherman from "back east"
 Prochaska is now in correspondence with the game wardens of various east ern states to complete the arrange nents to seed" the Arizona rivers with these succulent bivalves and molluscs and there is no apparent reason why they should not thrive.

Wal lace Button, the president nt-elect of the club; Bob Parker, Lee Fitzhugh and Tom Whitney gave interesting reports concerning what they learned of bene- fit to the club.
 Col. Power Conway spoke at short length, but very forcib1y on the ap- parent lack of interest in Phoenix and Maricopa concerning the Victory loan. He told of the returned service men who were working without pay for the loan and called upon the members of the Rotary club to say whether they would put their shoulders to the wheel There was unanimous response that they would.
 Mel Fickas and Captain Roy Thomas, both Rotarians who have recently re- turned from service with the American forces, were given a great reception and responded by telling few of their experiences. Mel Fickas made a plea for the doughboy, saying that although it was the general and the other of ficers who got their pictures in the paper, it was the doughboy who did the work and was entitled to the credit.
 Prof. John D. Loper told of the com ing s10o,0o0 bond election for the bet terment of the school facilities. He described the needs of the schools. J. T, Whitney was chairman of the meeting.
