NAVY DAY. IS CELE-

Arizona paused briefly in OBJ
servapce of Navy Day on Sat-,
29th. While no formal func-
tions have been arranged in the
state in observing the annual
d" day of the middies' mer-

marked the event with a dis
play of flags and banners.
Paul A. Hendrickson, officer
in charge of naval recruiting in
Arizona, held "open house" at
his offices in the state capitol.
1t was expected that a few
Arizonans would take advan-
tage of the throwing open of
all navy ships to inspection and
visit at the naval docks in San

Citrus CROP READY
FOR THE MARKET

The Arizona Citrus Growers
Phoenix plant started packing
its first grapefruit for the sea-
son with market prospects the
best in several years, accord ing
to George Cole manager.
The pool opened last Tues
day, but actual packing was
held up until sufficient quantity
of fruit has been accumulated
to offer a continuous operation
of the plant. Mr.. Cole esti-
mated that six or seven car
loads of fruit would be packed
this week.
"The prospects of the Mort b.
west markets look very favor
able this fall. "Mr. Cole said.
prices at this time are approx
imately at the same level as last
srason. Texas has not more
than a one-third crop of grape
fruit. Florida's crop is short
and under size. This means
these production districts will
not be paying the high freight
rates to the northwest and we
do not expect to meet the COM
petition there that has been ex
perienced in recent years.
"Of course the Arizona and
California crops are larger than
ever before and the public's
purchasing power has not in
creased to any marked extent,

serve, could hardly be surpassed as
delicious feast, and was so in demand
that many who came could not be
helped.
Mrs. Ed. Lacy was in charge as
sisted by Mrs. Robert Hendry, Mrs
P. w. Hamilton, and Mrs. T. T.
Terrill. This dinner was served in
the Leo Bloch building, which was

and otherswas fully up to par as a
real attraction of the. show. Those

unable to serve because of illness in
her home.
These community affairs have al
