Millers Severing
Their Connection
with Magma Club

After service of approximately
seven years Julius Miller, steward,
and Mrs. Miller, stewardess, have
rendered their respective resignation
to the board of managers of the
Magma club, effective as soon as
their successors have been named
and installed. The Millers are un-
decided whether to return to their
old home in Lincoln, Nebraska, or
to seek residence in some other city.
The retirement of the Millers from
service at the Magma club will be
learned with regret by many pa
irons of the place, who have en-
joyed their really good service for
so many years. Parents have had
no hesitency in sending their chill
dren to the club house, especially
to the swimming pool, as they real
lied that they would be carefully
watched over by Mr.. and Mrs. Mil
ler and that no possible harm could
befall them. The Millers have been
courteous and obliging to all pa
irons of the club and they will be
greatly missed. Wherever they may
go they will carry with them the
best wishes of the people of Su-
perior.

No Depression In
Business During
Summer, Says Gillian

Business in Phoenix and the Salt
River Valley generally is better this
summer than ever before and the
usual seasonal complaint that busi-
ness is poor has but little grounds
for justification at present, accord
ing to D. M. Gillian, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation.
The association has recently COM
pleted a canvass of the local con-
ditions, reporting that business is
holding up unusually we'll during
the summer months and that there
has been but little decrease in the
volume of trade as compared with
winter business. Merchants state
that sales are much better this sea-
son than in preceding summers.
"Of course, there are certain lines
in which there is always a slacken-
ing during the summer which is
not confined to any one community,
but is a general condition through
out the country" Mr.. Gillian said.

Party Politics For
COlOred People Is
''The Bunk" Ayers

CHICAGO-Speaking last night
before a mass meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People in 18th An
nual Conference here, William Eng
hsh Walling, writer and lecturer,
declared that the Negro must look
for salvation elsewhere than in par
ty politic,. Mr.. Walling urged that
Negroes throughout the United
States vote Independently of estab-
lished political parties.
GAS a prosecuted minority the col
ored people must vote for their
friends absolutely regardless of par
ty," declared Mr.. Walling. "And
that is exactly what they are doing
in every Northern State. When
there is no friend to be voted for,
and no enemy to be voted against,
colored citizen may vote for his
party. But even then he knows it
is only his party for that one cleo
tion and in that one State In the
neighboring State he knows very
we'll that that same party may be
in the hands of the Ku Klux. And
he doesn't know who will control
his party in the next election"

the entire district shows every evil
dcnce of prosperity. More people
than ever are living up to the motto
of See Arizona First and are Apend-

This largely helps in maintaining
satisfactory local business condi-

An Indication of improved busi-
ness appears in the recent additions
to the membership roles of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers associa-
tion. New members signed during
the past week include the Lane
Smith Investment company, 1T

Agency, 1T West Monroe; Norton

This is remarkable for this time

these concerns are looking for

taking out member hips in the or

The Merchants and Manufacturers
association is expecting large ad-
dition to its membership in the next
few weeks, due to general improved

And helps and boosts and sticks

Who shares your joys as we'll as

And dent give a whoop if it rains

So long a. it helps to serve your
