is to bring his lady and another cou-
pie to the Elks' hall for dinner, pro-

Chairman Joe himself contributed
to the program with an inspirational
talk. Two musical numbers were Civ
en- by two young ladies he introduced
as Arizona products" his own daugh-
ter, Miss Josephine, who sang two
solos, with Miss Minnie Hillzins play
ing the piano accompaniment The
latter number was encored.
At the chairman's request, Joe B.
Rickel introduced Mr. West, highway
engineer of Navajo county, who made
a strong plea for local cooperation
with the state good roads association
and especially for better cooperation
among the northern towns and coun-
ties, asserting that energy given to
fighting each other for roads is
energy lost, while working mutually
for the roads each wants accom-
phshes good for all.
NJ. |. Powers, past president of this
club, back for few days from his
winter quarters in Los Angeles, told
Of several of the meetings he has at
tended over there, interspersing his
remarks with good advice and flashes
of the wit he is famous for. He as
serted at the beginning that he was
like some athletes, mo good until |
get sweat up and when sweat up all
in" Mustabin Milt was half-and-half
when he made his talk. He asserted
that when |. B. Koch was recently
visitor at the Los Angeles club he in
troduced himself as Duluth brewer
and thereby got big hand
Billy Switzer, chairman of the on
to-Phoenix conference committee, urg-
cd all the local members to be there.
A poll taken showed that more than
half of them viii be. Then came the
nomination of Mr.. Koch as district
governor, related elsewhere in this is
sue.
With all the pep engendered by the
nomination, three songs composed by
Mr.. Koch were practiced under the
leadership of Tom Bellwood, and be-
ginning of close harmony arrived at
that will be the closest kind when
the bunch from here arrive at Phoe-
nix, all singing. The one that seem
ed most popular runs thusly:
Away way up on the mountain top,
Where the swaying pines are waving
to and fro,
There is town we all know well,
Where the summer tourists love to go;
Rotary Club number ten three six,
Meets every Tuesday noon,
Come up and see us when you can,
We hope that you will make it very
soon.
Chorus:
Come to Flagstaff, good old Flagstaff,
Dear old Flagstaff, Sunny Flagstaff;
When you see US think of Flagstaff,
Come and see US upon the hill.

Myers played the accompaniments to
