Probably no enterprise means more to the Salt River Valley, than the one just launched by an organization of well known local men under the name of universal Fibre Gin (Mar- icopa County). The extent of its benefits to the people of the Salt River Valley can hardly be measur- ed at the present time. but few facts connected with this wonderful invention. viz: The Universal Fibre 1 Cin'-will be an eye opener to many of us.
 i It is acknowledged by all of our l prominent cotton growers, as well as by the United States government in it's report on this subject, that all of ] the methods of ginning cotton up to this time have been murderous in the extreme to the delicate cotton fi- l bre, taking three quarters of the life 1 out of cotton before it reaches the 1 spinner. so that it is no wonder that | hundreds of experienced cotton men ! have hailed the advent of the 'C nj l versal Fibre Gin" as great bles- sing and destined to reVolutionlZe the

BY MARY AQUIN.

Doubtless 1t is known by a portion
of the audience that greeted Mrs.
Minnie Maddern Fiske at the Burtis
opera house, Davenport, Thursday
night, in her magnificent portrayal of
Mary Page in The High Road" that
she is intensely interested in humani-
tartan projects, one OF which is the
preservation OF bird life.
For years she worked indefetigably
in the inspiring of sentiment which
has attained tangible result in the
recent passage of bill at Washington
prohibiting the further importation of
the aigrette
Slipping into long velvet coat that
completely enveloped the Mary Page
of the closing act in The High Road"
Mrs. Fiske entered enthusiastically
into the subject that after all did not
seem such a far cry from the charac-
ter of the governors wife, whose cham
pionship of the eight-hour law for wo-
men had all but resulted in the po-
litical death of her husband. Some
how one would naturally expect the
woman of the play who had a pulsing
heart for the welfare of women and
babies TO be the sort whose love would
also envelop the ornamental bits OF
singing sweetness which God has
mingled with flowers and glorious sun
sets.
And just as naturally one would ex-
pect It Of the woman, Mrs. Fiske,
whose warm hendclasp and sincere
manner caused the interviewer TO for
get that she was in the presence Of a
great actress and the environment of
the theatre and that a capacity audi
ence with pleased buzz had just left
its doors.
In your opinion" we asked, what
is the reason women generally do not
condemn emphaucally the destruction
OF birds?"
Simply because they do not fully
realize that such destruction is taking
place" replied Mrs Fiske. "They do
not associate the ornament offered for
sale with the living thing. 1t has not
dawned within their consciousness
that the clumps of beautiful feathers
displayed in shops have come through
a sickening path Of most dreadful
cruelty TO death. When the American

earnest. become alive TO the facts
connected with bird slaughter, the

from her hat every vestige Of feather

THE MOVIES

"The Adventures Of Jacques" Is to
be the featured film at the Family to-
morrow. In this two-reel production
the Flying A have departed somewhat
from their usual path and have branch
ed forth into an avenue of classic de-
velopments. The opening scenes are
startling in effect. beautifully photo
graphed in sepia tints, and artistic
in composition and costuming. The
picture is set in the ancient French
style of couple of centuries ago. and
IN story, which is an old fashioned
romance IS pleasing as such. and the
identity OF Constance. the beautiful
girl whom Jacques loved. and for
whom he fought many battles with
would-be lovers. is not sufficiently
clear Warren Kerrigan as Jacques IS
a picturesque figure. and has handled
himself with intelligence and grace.

one of the potent factorial epigrams
which has made Fine Feathers" COM

Fine Feathers" is described as a mod

be remembered long by all who see
it, especially in these days when, as
Bob Reynolds" puts it: People talk

humor, and tragedy, with pert sayings
and human emotions and that virility
which is said to make it the most po-

of the vibrant character of Mary Page
In coarse hands one can see the fail
ure of the theme. but Mrs. Fiske makes
plain and sweet the motive of personal
service, 'labcrare est orare."
With her ripened knowledge it is not
enough that play should express her
talent In fact, an actress of Mrs.
Fiske's ability is willing to sacrifice
the opportunity for display of talent
If she may carry TO the hearts of the
people the wholesome vigor of a play
such as 'sThe High Road"
Don't forget that furs are as much
to be Stunned as birds by the humane.

to the interviewer as we wendell our
way through the ghostly big expanse of
an empty theatre out into the lovely
October night. AS we gazed upward
and outward over the silence of a still

the giver of all good that such sweet,
lovable. wholesome things as Mrs.
Fiske and birds inhabit the round old

The neighborhood into which the
new house will be put is one Of the
fastest-growing in the three cities at
the present time. The population Of
this section of the city has doubled
within the past seven years and there
is a great deal OF building and improv-

Traffic here has always been heavy

rate. The plan is to make this block

Edna Marshall will appear at the
Illinois tonight in the new play by
George Broadhurst entitled, The
Price" The engagement of "The
Price at the Hudson theatre, New
York, which has just terminated after
lasting since early fall, proved a
memorable one in the metropolitan
theatrical circles. II was highly sue
cessful from the box Office standpoint
The author was accorded his full
quota of praise for having contributed
another Camille" to the literature of
the stage. THE Price" treats of the
false and true love of young woman
the one threatening every moment
to destroy her newly found happiness
in marriage, and the other reassur-
ing her that she is safe forever from
the consequences of her early indis-
erection.
Oliver Morosco, an ambitious and
able producer, having taken L. Frank
Baum's latest "Oz" stories in hand
and built a production around it, will
present this creation for the first time
here at the Illinois Oct. %. From
all accounts the ''Tik Tok
Man of o." as tile show piece is
called, is among the most successful
launched in recent years. Beauty of
scenery, sweetness of music and
modernity in comedy are some of the
things both Mr.. Morosco and Mr..
Baum have had in view when they
wrote and built this new medium of
public entertainment Mr.. Baum has
gone deep into the Or cult for his
latest characters, and some of them
are said TO be the limit in "fantas-
ticality." The cast is the result of
natural selection; that is to say, no
actor or actress was asked to join
the Tx Tok forces that had not given
a good account of himself or herself
in several previous ventures of the
musical show piece and fairy-story
kind. The roster includes Morton
and Moore. the team OF grotesque
