A CReDlTABLE SELECTION
(Bisbee Daily Review

A more popular appointment
for the position of United States
marshal for Arizona than Ben
Mckinney of Tucson and Sells,
Ariz., could hardly have been
made. He is a former chairman
of the Pima county central com
mittee but for years has done
notable and effective work in the
ranks, and always on the side of
good men and good causes. Ssn
ators Hayden and Ashurst do
themselves honor and credit ~

leader in her own right, being o
former Democratic national com
mitteewoman for Arizona.
The way has been opening for

present Incumbent, resign, but
there is nothing extraordinary 10
the action, as the senators point
out. What is extraordinary in
view of the fact that the position
of marshal is and has always
been rated as O political job. lis
that Mr.. Maui has been continu

politician, none appreciates the
fact and its significance more
than Mr.. Mauk himself. AS
matter of fact, though, his posi-
tion was more en- mbarrasslng to
himself than it was to the ad.
ministration. This is no reffec.
tion on his ability as politician
but is the simple correlative Of
the impotence of his party in
these parts.
There are others in federal
positions in the state whose posi-.

BIG INDUSTRY DUE TO
VACATION TRIP
(Saginaw, Michigan. News)

A pleasure trip into Mexico
was the direct cause for the be
ginning of the United States
Graphite company. Today the
company's plant on Holland ave
nue. is one Of the most modern
and most efficient of it's kind in
the world.
Henry Wickes, one Of the origi
nators of Wickes Brothers, while
vacationing in Mexico met an old
prospector and investigated the
graphita mines discovered by the
prospector near La Colorado,
Sonora. The possibilities of the
graphite business were immedi-

A building on North Washing

of the factory, and the first prod.

was erected on Holland avenue

buildings have been added for
the manufacture Of greases,
paints and carbon products. The
products, which are shipped to
all parts Of the world, include
graphite for pencils and for
fabrication, foundry plumbago
and core wash, graphite greases,
graphite paints, boiler Rraphite,

The Lotus Restaurant Is rapidly

gathering places for luncheon and

Roof
Plans Gala
Holiday

Anticipating a capacity crowd
for Labor Day night, the manage
ment of the Arlington Roof,
"Washington's Playground In the
Sky" is making preparations for
a gala night. Harry Albert and
his band, whose music have
placed them in the forefront Of
Washington's dance bands, are
arranging a special program for
the occasion and the Arlington
chef is preparing a special menu
in keeping with the event.
Reservations are advised for
this particular evening as the last
holiday, July 4, drew so many
people that the management had
to reluctantly turn many away.
The excellence of the dance floor,
coupled with fine music, has made
the Arlington Roof a popular
rendezous with Washington's
younger dancing set throughout
the season, while the ever present
breeze, and an excellent cuisine,
has attracted many who did not
care to dance, but desired good
food, served perfectly under ideal
conditions.
Because the season is nearing
its close, a large crowd is an
ticipated for Monday night, mas
much as Labor Day will bring
many people from out Of town to
swell the local throngs.

which appear SO cleverly from
