DEATH OF
WELL KNOWN
BANKER

Charles F. Solomon, 81 years old,
executive vice-president of the Ari-
zona Southwest Bank of Tucson,
and former president of the Arizona
Bankers association, died Monday
in Rochester, Mimi, where he had
gone in an effort to regain failing
health.
Mr. Solomon went to the Pacific
coast two months ago for a rest.
Two weeks ago he went to Roches-
ter. He is survived by the widow,
Mrs. Hattie Ferrin Solomon, four
children, Elkan, Adolph, Ferrin and
Therese Anne; his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Isador Elkan Solomon, of Los
Angeles, and several brothers and
sisters in other California cities.
He has been identified promi-
nently with Arizona financial lnstl-
tutions for many years. His father
was an Arizona pioneer, giving his
name to the town of Solomonville.
Mr.. Solomon was a member of the
Masons, Elks and Knights of Py-
thias lodges.-AriZona Republican.
BY the death of Charles F. Solo
mon the Southwest lost not only
leading citizen, and the state of
Arizona a foremost banker, but the
Casa Grande Valley lost a friend
who has helped in it's growth and
advancement, and who, with the
cooperation of J. F. Brown, of Casa
Grande, established branches OF
the Southwest Bank of Tucson in
both Casa Grande and Coolidge.
He was a frequent visitor here and
became friends with all whom he
met. These many friends sincerely
regret the passing of Mr.. Solomon.

VALLEY HELP FIRST

A statement has been offered for
publication by Frank Rathbun, di-
rector of the Farm Bureau in Casa
Grande Valley, in response to re-
cent criticism of the association s
announced plans for bringing in out
side help for the cotton picking sea-
son. The statement follows:
There seems to be considerable
misunderstanding as to what the
Al.z na Cotton Growers associa-
ton are doing or expect to do with
regard to bringing in cotton pick
ers to take care of the season s
crop Some are complaining that
the association will bring lot of
undesirable people into the valley,
who will become a burden on the
community after the cotton is
picked and will also interfere with
our local labor in getting work. Now
the association does not expect to,
and will not bring a picker into the
valley, until all local labor has been
placed and only such labor as will
be needed to pick out the cotton
crop. Last year the association
brought 1900 pickers into the val
ley which may have been a few
more than were needed, but it is
a hard proposition to gauge just to
a man, and none of these as far as
| know became a burden on the
community, for soon after the cot
ton was picked they left the coun-
try

more than twice what last years

MRS. HOOD
TO CONTEST

Mrs. Alberta C. Hood has re-
to file contest in the Superior
Court in the matter of her candi-
dacy for the democratic nomina-
ton for clerk Of the superior Court.
On the face of the returns it is
shown that Mrs. Hood lost by one
vote, f. A. Richards being the sue
cessful candidate. Mrs. Hoods ac-
tion is based on reports that cause
her to believe she received the
greater number of votes. Lii one
instance at least, irregularities are
shown by the poll lists and there
may be others. At Casa Grande
one poll list gave a return of 152
votes for Richards and the other
gave him lat votes. However, the
action for a recount is not based
on the Casa Grande vote, but on
the supposition thaat other errors
are probable and are just as liable
to be in her favor as to be against
her.
At this writing the complaint has
not been set out by Attorney Rich.
ardson therefore it's contents are
unknown. With but one vote diff
ference it could hardly be expected
that a contest would not be filed
but Mrs. Hood did not make a final
decision in the matter until Tues,
day morning, when she placed the
case in Mr. Richardson's hands,

Attorney Frank Swenson of Phoe-

while en- route to Casa Grande on
business. About eighteen years ago
Attorney Swenson, who was well
known in legal circles in Chicago,
came west and settled in the Sum-
merland district of this valley This
district, located near Maricopa, was
Il thriving community at that time.
Later he located in Phoenix, and his
eldest daughter passing through the
law school several years ago, was
taken into partnership, the firm
name being Swenson & Swenson.

MANY VISIT
THE NEW
DRUG STORE
DENHAMS ARE ENTHUSIAS-
TIC BOOSTERS OF THIS
GREAT VALLEY

one OF the most attractive DuSi
ness houses in the Casa Grande val
ley is the new drug store of the
Coolidge Drug Company, located on
Main street. in this rapidly growing
town. The opening took place last
Saturday, and Mr.. and Mrs. Den
ham and their son, Sam Denham Jr.,
are pleased with the response given
by the people of the valley to the
invitation extended to them to visit
the store.
The building housing the store
was completed just in time to allow
for the attractive displaying of
wares in the store and big show
windows, and installation of illum-
mating features. The wiring and
electrical arrangement was attend
ed to by the Craig Electric Co.,
new concern which has just en-
tered business here, altho the man
ager is a well known citizen, whose
capability in his line helped in a
great measure in making the new
drug store a bright spot.
The Denhams met the visitors
and in this way have become well
acquainted with many of the fine
people of this valley Albert Ave
nenti, member of one of the oldest
families in this section of the south
west, past master as a mixologist
of thirst-quenching concoctions. is
presiding at the fountain, and as a
host OF acquaintances in this sec
tion of Arizona will testify, Albert,
better known as Pete, is perfectly
familiar with his ice creams, and
cooling and delicious drinks.
One of the attractions of the store
which is noticed by all who pass on
Main street. motorists or pedestri-
ans, is the beautiful little lawn
which has come into being as if
produced by magic. The Denhams
secured the seed, prepared the
earth. planted, and presto in three
days time a beauty spot was ere
ated. This lawn is a grand .adver-
tisement of what can be done in
beautifying homes, streets or parks,
in Coolidge. The little foreground
of grass in front of the handsome
Denham building is an example Of
quick transformation of barren soil
to a beauty spot.
A little later a six-foot Neon elec-
trio sign is to be placed in front of
the drug store, and this event will
mark another step in the improv-
ing of afternight illumination of
this city to be.
The Denhams, registered pharm-
acists with years of experience, who
are from Kentucky, are much en-
thused with the advancement of
Coolidge, and the future as they see
it. in store for this town and valley
They have been long enough in Ari-
zona to fully grasp conditions as
they are, and the conditions that
will come to improve the state,
which already is recorded as one of
the fastest growing states in the
Union. After making a careful
study Of growing communities they
selected the Casa Grande Valley as
most promising. from among many
advancing sections. The selection
was based on the experience Mr..
Denham has, which made him thor
oughly conversant and familiar with
all details of civic organization
work that goes towards helping to
put communities tc the fore, and he
and his family stand for unselfish
aid true dealings in helping to
bring prosperity and population to
a community.
