THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1920 PAGE THREE IIEPE1ENCE D DFMEXICDWILL BE OBSERVED SEPT. 15 Independence Day of Mexico will be observed here by a two days' program September 15 and 16. A committee ot Mexican business men is already work ing on a pro&ratn which promises to be am attractive as it in varied.. A literary program has been ar- yr-nfrea tor me mgni ot hopiemuer lt ykt the home of a Mexican social club "Vi 805 South Fifth street. Several men prominent in the social and political life of this state and who have shown a broad understanding of the relations which should exist between the United States and Mexico have been asked to address the meeting. The, national hymn of Mexico will be suns by a chorus of female voices. Following the program there will be dancing. Arrangements are under way to se cure the school house grounds on South Fifth street for a program of sports and games September 16. Events for thia day will include all the well known pastimes such as the potato race, climbing the greased pole, peanut race and real athletic contests. A big dis play of pyrotechnics ia being arranged as the grand finale. The sanction and promise of cooper ation in staging the celebration has been given by the chamber of com merce and several civic bodies and local clubs. An attempt was made to secure the Xogales band and a delega tion from the border city here for the program, but new railrpad rulings on excursion rates made this inadvisable. It is probable that the Indiaa School band will provide the music. owes MIST (Ml 'LICENSES There will be no more peddling of dog licenses in rhoenix, is the an nouncement made by Humane Officer Canning. It has been the practice of Mr. Canning since he undertook the regulation of the dog license business, to go around to owners of dogs and warn them of the necessity of buying licenses, and he always had some with him for distribution. But no warning will now be Riven. All dogs found run ning at large without license tags will be taken up and unless the owner calls to redeem the animal and pay a "plek up'' charge the dog will 'be given away. The i;i;-l'') licenses expired on July 1 and licenses for I9i:i--1 must now un secured if one wants his ownership of his dog made secure. There is a gerat demand for dogs, iso great that there are few on the streets any longer. Any kind of a dog can te given away. Many are taken by tour ists who are parsing through the coun try. After every robbery or other out lawry in the outskirts of the city there is a demand upon the humane officer lor dogs, He says that he can find a home for every unlicensed dog in Phoenix. Another thing of which announce ment is made is that there is no age limit as to licenses. Many people sup pose that the license Is unnecessary until the dog is six months old. But the license is required as soon as a dog is old enough, and he is old enough when he arrives t the age when he be comes a nuisince when running at large, and a dog at six months is apt to ho more of a nuisance than he is when he arrives at. the age of some discre tion. o Gila Bend 'News GILA BEND, Sept. 3.
