for S10.0 .000 to be derived from the sale of Christmas seals and health bonds.
 Although Christmas seals have been placed on sale here each year at this season for several years, the funds de- rived therefrom were never before de- voted exclusively to the needs of the tubercular in Maricopa county. This year every cent realized through this drive will be used in this county to fight the white plague.
 This money will go toward the forma- ton and maintenance of a free clinic, the employment of nurses, establish ment of county hospitals for tubercular patients where residents of Arizona may receive free accommodations and visitors to the state may be cared for at nominal rate.
 At the Booths Today Organizations in charge of the booths in the sale of the seals and bonds to- day will be: Postoffice. Council of Jew ish Women: Central and Washington streets, Mrs A. H. Rosenberg; Gold waters, Womans club; Korricks' women of the Baptist church.
 An urgent call is made by the asso
 citation for volunteer workers in thi! drive and all who can devote thei | services for a day or any part of a da! are requested to call at 300 East Adam street The Business Womans clul and Mrs. BaXters Friendly Girls soci ety gave their services on Tuesda, evening at the Arizona Anti Tubercu

CONCERT BY RAOUL
 v|DAS IS RARE TREAT

Before a magnificent audience last night at the high school auditorium that fairly reveled in the rich treat ac- corded it. Raoul Vidas. Roumanian vio- linist, gave an exhibition of his rare genius that marked an epoch in the musical history of Phoenix. Again the Musicians club, which organization of local music lovers and workers, under whose auspices the concert was given, has placed the people of this vicinity in their indebtedness.
 France and Roumania have given to the world numerous great artists on the violin-De Beriot, Danela, Vieuxtemps, Franck-who set a high standard for others to maintain but Raoul Vidas, young man though he is, demonstrated last night that his name is fit com panionship for the greatest. Seldom has it been the pleasure of Phoenix people to listen to such perfect tones as this wonder-p player brought forth. such masterly technic, such passion swayed interpretations.
 Remarkably executed was the Con- certo from the great French master Saint Saens, while seldom, if ever, has such a fine interpretation been heard of the Brahms Hungarian Dance No 5 Last on the program and greatest oi all was the Josta Nannarra, by Sara sate, rendered with a dash and brill fancy and fire that electrified the au- dience.
 The lighter numbers on the program were given with a richness and sweet ness that long will finger in the mem ory of those who were fortunate enough to hear them. Vidas was kind in re- spending to the insistent demands for encores, one of the most delightful be- ing Songs of Roumania.' The entire program was a joy, the evening bcing one long to be remembered
 Sol Alberti accompanied the violiaist on the piano in an entirely satisfactory manner.

Sexson led all other teams with a return of $2SO The teams working in the drive turned in total of S712 and the booths S100 for the days work.
 At one ot the booths a working man approached and asked if that was the place where they were collecting funds Tor more nurses in Phoenix. After be- ing assured by the workers in the booth that it was, he said he wished to give a dollar toward the cause. T wish were able to give more" he said as he placed the money on the table, and then added, If I had million dollars l would give it toward the fund"
 He said he came to Phoenix from lllionois about six months ago with his wife, who was very i'll. Shortly after arriving here. he said he got in touch with one of the tuberculosis nurses oi the Arizona Anti Tuberculosis associa- tion- This nurse, he said. assisted then In getting located in home and ther came every day to attend to his wife.

SUBSCRIPTIONS TO AID CHILDREN 0F EORUPE
 STILL ARE COMING IN

Although it had been announced that subscriptions to the fund to feed and clothe starving children Of Europe would close last Saturday night, contributions still are coming in to The Republican office. So far this week $20S has been given, which with the total up to Saturday night or ls2.S49.95 makes grand total or $S.057.95.
 In addition to the total, however, school children of Phoenix have raised nearly $500 The proceeds of the sub
 scription up to Saturday night have been sent east to the American relief administration by P. c. Salisbury, personal representative in Phoenix of Herbert Hoover, and the additional do- nations this week will follow soon. i The subscription of more than $3.o0o | fin this city to aid the destitute chill
 dren of central Europe was unique
 achievement in that no personal soli-
 citation whatever was made. News
 paper publicity was the only means employed to obtain contributions, and
 not a cent was spent for overhead expenses, because there was no over head.

AN OMISSION

When writing the article in last
weeks Enterprise regarding the con-
vention of the Payette County Real
ty Board, we were not aware of the
fact that Mr.. NJ. F. Albert, one of
Payette County's strongest boosters,
had made the opening speech, as we
did not attend the meeting at the
beginning, but since have learned
that such was the case, and that his
talk was highly appreciated. We
might have known it however, as
Mr.. Albert seldom escapes when
there is any public gathering, es-
pecially when the meeting is for the
public's benefit We offer this as an
apology to Mr.. Albert.

=. H. LYON AND FAMILY
MOVE TO CALIFORNIA

Attorney F. H. Lyon, wife and
daughters left overland by auto for
Fullerton, California where the
family expect to make their future
home. Mr. and Mrs. Lyon moved TO
Payette some IA years ago at which
time Mr.. Lyon became engaged in
the practice of law. He has built up
an excellent business during that
time, but being advised by his fam
lily physician to move to lower aIti-
tude on account of i'll health of one
of the children, accounts for his
moving at this time. Payette is loos-
ing a good family, but owing to
the unavoidable circumstances we
can but wish them well in their new
location. Mr. Lyon expects to re-
turn for the Fall Term of Court
which will convene in November
During his absence and perhaps
permanently, his business and prac-
-tice will be turned over to Attorney
Bernard A. McEvitt who is a recent
arrival from the northern part of
the state where he has been engaged
in the law business.

RETURN WITH TWO DEER

The first of the deer hunters to
return are NJ. NJ Cheek and son
Paul, Stub Farson and James Horn.
They were only gone about six days
but returned with two fine venison-
one a nine point buck which was
an exceptionally large one. 1t is
seldom that buck has over four to
five points. They also got several
long range shots at bear, some of
which gave Mr.. Bruin a little grief,
but he managed to escape.
