Tomorrow the active musical sea son begins. With it's splendid fac ulty of last season almost completely Intact the Arizona. School of Music opens its fall and winter term equipp- ed to supply splendid service in all branches of music Both Mir. Gott helf, the head of the piano depart ment and William Conrad Mills. head of the vocal department have return cd to hold these important posi- lions. These gentlemen made an en- Niable record last season and they will be welcomed back by hosts of Friends of admirers who are proud that Phoenix should have them as members of it's musical colony.
 The record of the School of Music last season was the most successful m its history and there is every req son 10 believe that it will be repeated this year.
 A most welcome return 10 musical circles will be that of Miss Claire Canon who opens her studio in the Board of Trade building today. Miss Canon is a most brilliant pianist and her appearances here last winter were among the really bright spots of the season. She is too good an artist to lose and the news that she has opened a studio will be welcomed by every lover of good music in Phoe nix
 Mrs A. c. Hulett is also opening her studio this week as is Elton Ensign Hale. Mrs. Hulett has been among the foremost artists in Phoe- nix for some years past and both a

"The War Is Over"

Who says that women dramatists have no sense of humOr? Surely this little story which Mrs Kate Jor- dan Nermilye, whose comedy "The Broken Strings is about to receive it's New York premiery tells on her self disapproves the assertion.
 Mrs. Vermilye was one of the many suffragists who took part in the peace parade on Fifth avenue last Saturday. At it's conclusion she and a number of other women in black stood gasping, thirsty and tired on the corner of 17th street and Fifth avenue, waiting for taxis to come along and carry them home, where witch hazel and talcum powder might help make life worth living, when up came a tiny neWsboy and, surveying their bedraggled state, exclaimed more in sorrow than in anger, Say girls, you've ruined me biz. After yous all walked down Fifth avenue l can't sell no more extras. The war is nVpr' ''

Few Biz Productions Yet

| The war has been the cause of the delay or entire abandonment of many of the most elaborate productions planned for this season. While busi-
 ness in the theaters of New York is
 at present marvellously good, business on the road, and especially through ! New England is appallingly bad. There is every indication that within few weeks the big mills in that section which are now shut down will be re-Opened and running over time; but at the moment theatrical offerings in that part of the country are starving.
 1 Very few large musical productions will be made for some time the managers not caring to risk the un- settled condition of affairs and pre- ference will be given to small casted
 snappy- farce and comedy productions
 with simple settings that involve no very great expense.
 i This condition has served to drive shoals of legitimate actors and ac- tresses into the ranks of the vaude- williams Many who had been en- l porarily thrown out of positions and
 stretch out welcoming arms to the
 offerings of the variety magnates. l The famous Farnum brothers, Dustin
 and William, are among the first to grasp the helping hand of the two a day, and Miss Henrietta Crossman will also be an early shining star on
 the variety horizon. She has bought 1 the rights to the little playlet in
 which Laurette Taylor and Cyril
 Maude appeared at the Actors Fund
 benefit and will use that for her ve- 1 hicle. All the words in this little sketch are in one syllable which
 should be rather novelty for Miss Crossman.
 l Valli Valli, the beautiful and silver . voiced will be another early recruit.
 She is booked to make, her first ap- 1 pearance at the Palace in Chicago on 1 the 21st in a musical sketch. In
 this case at least Chicago is lucky.

a singer and pianist she has d most enViable reputation. MT Hale is in his second season here and will doubtless confirm the very favorable impression he made last winter
 Altogether the coming winter pro- mises to be unusually active musi- cally and it is likely that a number of the foremost artists will be heard here before next spring. The various musical societies are planning elab- crate and ambitious programs for their seasons work and 1t Is hoped that many things worth while will be accomplished

When You Get What You Strik,
 For Ask for More

There was big labor strike in Santa Barbara recently, two very violent affairs taking place at the Boyd lumber plant, and the excite ment later was transferred to the Commercial Bank. IL was difficult for the spectators to make out just what it was about. William Gar wood and F. A. Wall appeared to be the principal instigators. At the lumber yard Garwood was heard eX- citedly to eXclaim:
 For our wives and children we want a raise to $2.''
 That isn't right. We're getting iS275 now"
 All right replied Garwood; we want s5 a day
 That's the stuff" came from one of the extras. The next time ask for ten

 Quite a number of our young peo- pie enjoyed themselves at a New Years dance at the home of MT. and Mrs. M. T. Campbell's Thursday night.
 Dolph Lester has resigned his po- sition with the Wilmans Mercantile Company and accepted position as travelling salesman with the Valley Commission Company of Newport.
 c. w. Ford returned Thursday from a visit to relatives in Oklaho- ma.

 Mrs. J. A. Dameron and daughter, Miss Bertha, of Battlefield, Missouri, were here Monday en route to Alma, Ark, for visit to relatives.
 Mrs. w. F. Hurley was shopping in Newport Tuesday.
 Our little city will furnish it's share of the candidates, as usual. Two announcements have been made, J. T. Craft for coroner and w. Terry Guin for constable. We are informed that third party will announce later, but we are unable to state just what office he will seek.
 Claude Mauer, who was sent up from Little Rock to relieve Agent Il. M. Anderson, was not satisfied with the surroundings and being "boom- err, he hit the pike for parts un- known.
 Senator" L. H. Davenport was a visitor to Newport Tuesday.
 About nine o'clock Wednesday night two colored girls, Bee Barnes and Lucy Patterson, engaged in a cutting affray near the depot, in which Lucy Patterson got the worst of it. From what we can learn, the Patterson girl went to Newport in company with Bee Barnes Steady" and on their ar- rival home from town, the Barnes ne- gro met them at the depot and be- gan to "bless" the other "gaP out. Offended by the remarks made, Lucy proceeded to clean Bee up right now, but Bee flashed her "trusty blade" and began to carve Lucy. Her clothes were cut to shreds and a gash was made across her cheek, which took ten stitches to sew up. The Patter- son woman was taken home and the Barnes party took to the "tall' and and has not been heard of since. Our officers were enjoying themselves at a New Years dance at the time and of course, the fugitive has not been brought to justice.
 W. M. Chisholm has resigned his po- sition with the Winner Store at New port and is turning his attention to farming.
 Miss Willis Guin has accepted position as teacher in the Campbell school.

THE ISLAND.

Mrs. John Tucker has been sick with chills. :.
 The attendance is very good at school considering the weather. There are 35 enrolled. Miss Kettle koenlg is the teacher.
 MT. John Smith has been real sick the past few days. Mrs. J. F. Phillips and daughter, Miss Lena, visited Mrs. w. L. Heard Saturday afternoon.
 MT. James Drummond IS gong to move to the Heard place.
 MT. F. H. Morrison has been SICK for several days with cold. A collection was taken some tune ago for the improvement of the Is. land bridge levee, but on account of the rains, there has been nothing else done-until Wednesday, when a few teams hauled shells. There are very few who seem willing to help in the provement of their community. Those who pass over the roads most are not willing to help improve them. They have something else to do or have more to do at home than they can get done. It seems passing strange that the farmers of the Island, who are not willing to haul shells for the road, when the citizens, or rather busi- ness men of Newport contributed the money to buy them. It takes chunch, school and good roads to make a good community. To what extent can the Island boast of these?
 Mrs. w. D. Runyan and Mrs. John Smith were shopping in town Tues day.
