ROTARY CLUB HOLDS
 ANNUAL CHRISTMAS
 LUNCHEON AT ADAMS

The Phoenix Rotary club held its annual Christmas party yesterday at the Hotel Adams. It was a jolly af- fair and was attended by a gathering of Rotarians that entirely filled the new banquet room of the hotel. The Christmas spirit was evident from the first to the last of the program.
 The Rev. Francis Bloy, member of the Mesa Rotary club, delivered a Christmas address of short length which was eloquent in it's appeal for the good will and fellowship which, he declared should be particularly evident at this time. His Christmas message was listened to with the closest of attention and the speaker was given the tribute of all the mem bers rising to their feet at its close.
 Miss Bess Barkley, one of the most favosite singers of Phoenix, sang a Christmas song delightfully."-. There was a Christmas tree, deco rated and brightly illuminated, in the bankuet room, and Santa Claus ap- peared to pass out the gifts for the Rotarians which were piled about the tree. Santa Claus had a most won derful set of whiskers and a voice that closely resenbled that ot I Charles B. Christy. Each Rotarian 1 received gifts from the tree. In ad- dition, Bertram Brothers presented each one with a leather covered
 notebook; MrArthur Brothers gave | them handy oil cans filled with oil while Bob Curry presented each Ro- tarian with a fine knife in a leather case.
 It was a most enjoyable meeting J. T. Whitney was chairman of the | day.

CARRIERS TOLD
 OF CIRCULATION
 GAIN OR 192 1
Increase of 1000 In Repub- lican's Circulation In Last Year Announced At Annual Affair

With more than 100 in attendance, the annual carriers banquet of the circulation department of the Arizona Republican was held in the banquet room of the Hotel Adams last even ing. At eighteen tables. each of which was chaperoned by member of the circulation department, sat more than 90 boys. of whom so were regular carriers for The Republican, covering the entire valley, including Peoria, Chandler. Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and Glendale.
 The dinner, although served in part to boys, was a real man sized affair .. All the courses with all the features with which the Adams is accustomed to entertain its patrons were set be- fore the carriers. and chiefly because the diners were boys they disposed of the food right vaiantly. and with more gusto, because of the wine of youth in them, than older folk can always show at such an event. The menu follows:
 Half Grapefruit-Marasc
 Service first
 Celery Olives Farm Bureau" "Clinch 'em''
 Radishes
 "Market News"
 V
 Hot off the wire-(Telegraph)" Roast Young Turkey a la Bargain
 Offer-Cranberry sauce
 Candied Sweet Potatoes
 Sister Mary's" Green Peas
 Get 'em Now" Asparagus Tip Salad, Vinaigrette "Peppy Sports Neapolitan Ice Cream
 Big Commission"
 Assorted Cake ''Roundup' Coffee with a Spear Circulation Department Orchestra 1 featuring. "Never Say Die"
 The toastmaster of the evening wa. | Oliver s. King. circulation manager | of The Republican, whose discussion of the circulation figures of his de partment was the feature address O | the dinner. After complimenting tn, | boys upon their work during th ! year and extending them on behalf O ! The Republican the greetings of tn season, he outlined. briefly the re | suits which have been attained b. ! his department-results which ar unusual when taken in connection with the general business depression through the country.
 l The Arizona Republican. Mr. King said, showed yesterday . gain in net subscriptions over the same day a year ago of 1000 paid subscriptions, lacking only three of the even number. One year ago The Republican had 14,oo3 paid subscribers. with press run of 14,671, while yesterday it had 15,ooo paid subscribers with press run of 15,4so. This gain has come without any unusual effort on the part of the eircula-
 ton department, and represents the normal growth of the eircuia-
 ton throughout rne Salt River valley and in every other section where it's reliability and news value has been recognized.
 The city carrier circulation. 6 shown by King. is 6.see. as compare with 6,o35 a year ago. while the tots city circulation comes to 1859 a compared with 1850 in 1920. Tn suburban carrier circulation is 3.0s' and the total suburban circulatio 4.9s7, as compared with 2,so5 an 5.117 respectively a year ago. Tn

 Short talks were made also by H. B. Griffin, Jr., circulation manager at Mesa, and G. N. Dean, circulation manager at Glendale. Two fine ad- dresses to the boys were delivered by
