| MOVING PICTURE TROUPE

Romaine Fielding Heading Party of

There is a probability that large | moving picture company headed by ROmaine Fielding of the Lubin com pany will be located in Phoenix, ac- cording to the following telegram re- ceived last night by Lebbius Chap man, an old acquaintance of MT. Field ing:
 Western Union Telegram. Philadelphia, Pa, Dec 8, 1914. Lebbeus Chapman:
 Ast. Cashier Valley Bank, Phoenix Am thinking of coming out to Phoe- nix with my company for winter. Do you want me and is the commercial club willing to assist me as of yore How is Wifeand baby? Wire answer inn mediately; collect.
 ROMAlNE FIELDRING,
 Essex Apartments. . MT. Fielding, by the way, headed the first company of moving picture ar lists to operate in this state. He head ed large troupe which operated at Tucson three years ago for nearly six months. Later the company was To- cated at Prescott and spent very short time at Phoenix. The pictures taken at Tucson and Prescott have been shown all over the country and have attracted wide attention to Ari zona. On receipt of the telegram MT. Chapman took the matter up with off cials Of the fair commission and with City Manager Parrish They promised to lend MT Fielding all assistance in their power. Thefair grounds will therefore likely become the scene of many interesting Arizona pictures. This company has large pay roll, amount ing to several thousand dollars month lv

 Brief Afternoon Session
 The afternoon session of the con- gress was a brief one. and in some ways disappointing one, as it brought out the fact that some of the most highly interesting personag ges were absent. Among those who wired or sent in their regrets by letter were W. R. Allen of Butte, Mont, who was to have read his committees report on Mining Investments" F. c. Reinert of Denver. who was to have read q paper on Mining Development" Dr George Otis Smith. director of the United States Geological Survey; Otto Buhl of Joplin, Mo, who was to have spoken on the Needs of the Zinc Industry" and Fayette A. Jones of Socorro. New Mexico. who was to have described Mining in New Mex ico"
 Dr. Frank Ransome of the geologi- cal survey read or. Smiths paper on "Why Optimism?" sturdy deiense Of the American position of commer ,ial ard indus rial supremacy that is COW being strengthened by the strife abroad and the consequent crippling of competitors.
 The discussion Cn Mining invest mcnts,' which was to have been lead by Air. Allen. was transferred 'o See ret3ry Galhreath, who presented ideas along the same lires as those eN- pressed in an exclusive interview in The Republican Monday m nlng. From his talk tfere developed an in nest words of some of Arizonas old timers drew forth rounds of applause.

Bass, who mines in tho biggest hole in the world-the Grand Canyon-bore out Mir. Bennetts state ments. He said it cost so much to ship ore to smelters, and so much to smelt it. that no ordinary producer of gold rock could possibly get re- suits.

CHAPTER u.
The Girl and the Walter

The Girl and the Walter.
At seven o'clock. in immaculate eve
ming attire, Holton set out from his
club and sailed forth to the Willard.
After studying the menu lovingly. and
having devised a dinner suitable to
the palate of one who had followed the
lure of Epicurus in Vienna. Paris. and
London. he turned from the card and
lighting a cigarette and slipping cock
tail, he gazed about the room.
At one table he saw the French am
bassador and a company OF his Gallo
friends. Near by young Pembroke. OF
the British embassy, was dining girl
Holton had met. To his left sat a
dark-skinned. sleek-appearing man
with close-cropped Vandyke beard. He
had been pointed out to Holton In
Paris as a man who had plans Of Ger
man forts at Kiel for sale. The young
oficer wondered what he was doing
here.
Altogether the atmosphere, Holton
decided, was Just as 1t should be. Just
as the capital Of country should act
when the government stands on the
brink of International war.
Holton had just dispatched his first
oyster when his attention was attract
ed by a musical little laugh to table
about twenty feet away from him. A
girl, slightly above the medium height,
with slender resilient figure. was stand
ing with her back to him. talking to
her escort, a well-built man OF fifty
odd. with iron-gray hair and beard.
and the dark features of the Latin.
She was beauty. Holton. connois-
seur OF femininity though he was. ad-
mitted that without hesitation. Her
hair was not the coaLblack hair of her
race. but a shining. golden deep
brown, which lay upon her head in
thick. waving convolutions. Her eyes
were blue-gray. set on by long. dark
lashes. and fine brows. which ran with
delicate arches to the straight, finely
modelled nose. Her lips were colored
by nature, pure coral, and her teeth
flashed as she spoke.

The value of this years crops are
figured at current prices. as ascer-
tained by the government, while those
for the 1913 crops are the final fig
ures for that year, showing the totals
received for the entire years produc-
tion at the market prices that pre-
vailed throughout the marketing
months. 1t is therefore possible that
the total for 1914 will be increased
before the marketing period is ended.
There has been a remarkable in
crease this year in the production OF
corn. wheat, apples. potatoes and hay.
but in some cases prices are lower
than they were a year ago. In sugar
beets there has been a sharp decrease
in acreage and tonnage, but prices will
be higher than they were in 1918, as
the sugar content of the beets this
year is much higher than last year.
