old TIMERS RED-LETTER
DAYS APRIL 10 AND Il

Arizona pioneers, the mer
and women whose early day
hardships and accomplishments
made possible the building OF
the present inland empire will
gather in Phoenix Tuesday and
Wednesday, April 10 and IL,
for their fourteenth annual re-
union.
Formal announcement of the
Pioneers reunion this year,
after a one year lapse OCCASION
ed by conditions, was made to-
day by Charles A. Stauffer,
publisher of the Arizona Repub-
lie under whose auspices the
big event again will be held.
Every man and women In
Arizona, resident of the state
since prior to December 81,
1890, will be eligible to attend
the two day gathering, always
red-letter days in the lives of
the old timers.
The program this year will
follow generally, the schedule of
events that has maintained
through all Of the years of the
gatherings. These events are
traditional with the reunion.
Among the outstanding feat
ures are the famous, truly West
ern, barbecue, the storytelling
periods and the old-fashioned
dances, annually climaxing in
the grand ball.
Each succeeding year the re-
union has deeper significance to
the pioneers. Their ranks rap
idly thinning, they have come
to regard these gatherings as
the one opportunity each year
to re-live the history-making
days OF long ago and to meet
old friends and acquaintance,
many of them perhaps for the
last time.
Duration OF residence is the
only qualification for atten-
dance. Membership in no or
ganization is necessary to en-
title the pioneer men and wom-
en- to attend the two day pro-
gram.
AS has been the case in years
past, every one of the IA coun-
ties of the state is certain to be
represented among those atten-
ding the reunion this year.
Details of the program are
being worked out now and it is
that before long the
full schedule Of events will be
announced.
Meantime. all pioneers of the
state who read the announce
ment of dates are urged to re-
mind other pioneers with whom
they come in contact to set
aside Tuesday and Wednesday
April 10 and IL, for big times
are coming" and they should
DIN the trek to Phoenix.

CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE HOLD AN IN
TERESTING MEETING

! AT regular meeting of the
Coolidge Chamber of Commerce
held Tuesday evening large
number of members were pres
ent, and the presid ent, B. G.
Lettering, presiding. The major
topic to come before he Cham
Der was the matter of duplicat-
ing a power line from Coolidge
Dam into the San Carlos Irriga-
tion Project in which consider
able CONTROVERSY has arisen be-
tween the San Carlos Irrigation
and Drainage District, the Elec-
trical District No. 2 and the
Salt River Valley Water Users.
The chair dealt at some
length in explaining the propo-
sition of the Coolidge Chamber
of Commerce in the matter to
show that their interest was
to assist the tax burdened pub
lie. Many improved farms in
this valley were originally in the
electrical District No 2, after
wards were also taken into the
San Carlos Project and by over
tapping are now taxed by both
Districts and with the new
electrical project coming under
the San Carlos, third specific
tax will be loaded on to the al
ready over r-burdened tax payers.
The Coolidge Chamber of
Commerce is for the betterment
of our valley in every respect
and want to cooperate to that
end. Facts and figures were
discussed by the members and
talks by G. j. Moody of the U.
S. Indian Service, and G. H.
Southworth, engineer of San
Carlos Irrigation Dist. were in
structive, outlining the install
ing of this electric line by the
government and utilizing the
electric current generated at
the Coolidge Dam.
These talks were followed by
A. J. Christensen of Coolidge, a
heavy tax payer and the owner
of many acres of land in the
project and Electrical Dist. No.
2. He said that it would be
hard to convince him that the
farmers would not have to pay
for both power lines in the final
analysis. He could not see, he
said, why the San Carlos Pro-
ject would not buy the lines
and equipment of Electrical
District No. 2, then convert all
the % cycle equipment into 90
cycles at a very nominal cost
to the owner of the equipment
now in use.
A plan along this line would
no doubt save the farmers of
the San Carlos Project in con-
struction work, materials and
redemption and interest at
least one quarter million dol
lars.
Other business matters were
reading reports and appointing
committees. Mrs. Luthy,
Com. chairman, reported l22
new members and expects to
reach 200 in the next 30 days.
G.. c. Hamilton was appoint
ed chairman of labor committee
to act in behalf of the Chamber
and to confer with the CWA.
A. j. Christensen suggested
cooperation with the state
Chamber of Commerce and
Attorney Virgil Chandler was
chairman of a com
mittee to look after the matter.

GRACE MOORE IN
 STATE OFFERING
The GOlden-V Voiced Artist Starred in "One Night
 OfLOye"

A new and indescribable thrill in screen entertainment awaits motion picture audiences who will see "One Night of Love-" starring the gorgeous, glamorous, golden- voiced Grace Moore which begins an engagement at Warmers State theater startin tomorrow.
 Miss Moore, known in every city in the world. where she has ap- peared on the operatic and the con- heights of screen stardom as a re- suit of her superb dramatic DOT trayal of this Columbia extrava- ganZa.
 Her role is that of young, mid western girl who goes to Italy to study for an operatic career with the prize money she has won in a radio addition contest. There she meets a romantic, debonair music teacher, splendidly interpreted by Tullio Carminati, international stage and screen star, who imme- diately offers to develop her for the Metropolitan in New York. But with one reservation. That their association remain untarnished by even the slightest suggestion of a loveaffair.
 Needless to say, Miss Moore wins the acclaim of Europe and America for her glorious voice, but finds fame surprisingly empty without | the love and caresses of her music teacher. In a fit of temper she leaves Carminati. But without his presence her voice chokes in her throat and her heart refuses to sing.
 The climatic scene where Miss
 Moore stands on the stage of the Metropolitan to sing an enchanting aria, is one of subtle sentiment. It marks the highlight of produc- ton that is a milestone in the his- tory of the cinema.
 In addition to Miss Moore and Tullio Carminati, the film boasts an imposing cast that includes Lyle Talbot, Mona Barrie, Nydia West
 man, Address de Segurola, Luis
 Alberni and Jessie Ralph. Victor
 Schertzinger, who directed, also composed the title song. An especially fine surrounding
 program has been engaged by Manager Julia M. smith to accom. pany this outstanding feature pres | entation.
 Performances tonight conclude the engagement of "rhe Age oi
 Innocence" and Wake Up and
 Dream."

of this group of reactionaries were among the original stockholders of the National Economy League. This group was largely responsible for the Economy Act of March, 1883, which penalized virtually every disabled veteran in the country un- der pretense of balancing the na- tional budget The main objec- tive of the members of the so-call- ed Liberty League is the protec- ton of their vast riches against the inroads of government policies that contemplate the welfare of the masses, and against taxation that will in any way reduce their per- sonal profits"
 Commander-in-Ch Chief Van Zand'ts communication also commented upon the recent resignation of Lewis Douglas, formerly director of the budget. The veteran leader declared that in Douglas with drawal from the administration, veterans had been rid of Veterans Enemy No. l." the champion be- trayer" of the Roosevelt era, who had betrayed the veterans by vio- lating his pledges of support of all disabled veteran legislation for both Spanish War and World War veterans when he was first elected to Congress from Arizona.
 Douglass betrayed Roosevelt when he recommended such dras- tic reductions in disabled veteran benefits. This action undermined public and veteran confidence in the President when it developed that the only cuts in the federal budget were those that penalized the disabled veteran. Douglas also broke faith with the ideals of comradeshfp and the allegiance he owed to the men with whom he served in France. He disregarded his debt of loyalty to his comrades in his lust for political success and popular acclaim by the moneyed interests" Van Zandt's letter de- clared.

Each has a small stand in the market where she sells her eggss' butter, cheese, fruit, or whatnot. She is not interested in tourists. Pays no attention to them. She is a merchant to sell the produce of her little farm. And streets of Zagreb are crowded when the market closes, the with peasant women doing some shopping of their own, or trudg- ing homeward, with big baskets poised on their heads. Coastline Feast for Eyes The steamship sail from Spa lato to Ragusa must be one of the ! finest in the world. Only the towns are no longer called so. Spalata is now Split-pronounced

 are superb.

 With less vigor, other nationali- ties within Yugo-Slavian borders have demanded Tightening of the Serbian yoke, but futilely. But al- ways this diversity of races and their aims hangs as a threat over the royal palace at Belgrade, as the Serbs rule over Croatians, Dalmatians, Montenegrins, Alban- ians, Bulgarians, Macedonians and Slovenes within their borders.
 A Picturesque Country A beautiful land, primitive and picturesque, is Yugo-Slavia. This very primitiveness it it's great att traction fo rthe traveller who seeks his recreation where few over-tip- ping tourists pass and where a dol- lar or pound still will buy 8 req sonable amount of the native money.
 But blended with the primitive there is startling air of modern ity at it's best in many parts of the south Slav country.

 Costumes Are Colorful
 The men wear white flannel trousers and pourous silk shirts, with half sleeves and no ties. The women wear pajama suits. They live in them and save laundry and dress bills. The music one hears is not the entrancing melancholy na- tive music, but jazz, as up to date as the Lido or Le Touquet.
 Then one may find rare treat in a visit to the capital of the ancient Austrian province of Slo- venia, which used to be called Lai- bach. Now it is Ljubljana, a coun- try town which has doubled in
