CLUB TO MEET FOR FIRST
WEEKLY LUNCHEON
NEXT TUESDAY

More pep and enthusiasm was
shown at the meeting of the newly
organized Chamber Of Commerce
Monday evening than at any prev
ious meeting, although the attendance
was limited
The concensus of opinion of those

ed line, the attendance at the meet
ings would be small and that an i'm
mediate membership drive should be
put over. President Vath appointed
Messers. Sid lockwood, Frank Blood,
S. S. Worley and Bert Stephenson as
4 membership team and since the
meeting they have secured upwards
of a hundred paid up members.
Their work is yet unfinished and
many more eligibles are expected to
be taken into the organization with
in the next few days

ness men could meet and talk over

it is planned to make them entert ain
ing and helfll. The place of NEE

is the duty of every American citizen
to go to the polls and cast his vote
for the candidates best qualified for
the office. 1t is hoped that every man
will use his vote and his influence In
helping elect men to our state legisla
ture who have the cattle industry at
heart. The business of raising cattle
is the third largest industry in the
state of Arizona, and much help is
needed in legislative way. Don't for
get to lend your support to the candi-
dates who can do the most good.
Reports state that very good rains
fell through central and northern Cali
fornia last week, which should tend to
increase the demand from that state
for Arizona feeders, particularly il
more rains follow. Good rains fell in
northern counties of this state, re-.
Gently.
