FIRST EXPOSITION
 PETITION ARRIVES
Yuma County Sends Up Sixty Names
 in Support of Joint Appropriation.

Yuma county is taking moro inter est in the proposed initiative of the bill for an appropriation for build ings at both the san Francisco and the san Diego expositions than any other county in the state. So much in earnest are the residents of that southwest county that they immedi- ately got busy as soon as the decision was reached at the joint meeting of the two commissions in Phoenix and began the circulation of the petition.
 As result of those efforts the first petition initiating the bill was received recently by Secretary of state Sidney r osborn, containing sixty names II was circulated by Supervisor Elliott of the Yuma coun- ty board. More than eleven hundred more signatures are however needed before the proposed bill can be sent out to the voters of the state and after that placed on the ballot

Lad not been apportioned was q tiny
set of dishes-also from that beautiful
Ten Cent store. She looked over the
gifts. Some were already wrapped.
for all the while she sang her nimble
fingers had been busy. But her gen.
ius solved the problem.
WELL" she said refectively, "she
can use them for an ornament on her
desk maybe, and I'll promise to dust
them for her. l like little dishes"
But having cleared that hurdle an
other presented itself almost imme-
diately. On a flooding onset of mem
DRY Calista remembered that she had
fully intended when she started out to
get something for Jasper--the brother
that was to have been, but now wasn't
to be, as she explained it to her mind
For in Calista's loyal little heart
burned steady flame of liking for
the man who could treat little girls
with the consideration he had be-
slowed upon her.
This was a dilemma. And for the mo-
ment Calista actually thought of rob
blng her real brother Jim of the glo-
rleus green tie. Jim, just two years
older, was a "pig" to her sometimes.
But then she remembered that Jasper
never wore any but black ones on &C
count of his red hair, as he had ex-
planned to her at one time.
1t was indeed a perplexing problem
to say the least. For had it been any
one but Jasper she might confide in
some one-her mother, or even Mar
garet-and negotiate loan.
II guess he'll have to go without"
she concluded almost sadly. And Gu.
riously a dusk of dreams crept into
her blue eyes. "Unless-unless give
him something of my own" But a
mental review of her most cherished
possessions failed to reveal anything
suitable for big grown-up man.
Then even as she gave up the prob
lem her despairing musing awoke to
life with a delighted, "Oh!" AS she
pondered she had been gazing directly
at the framed picture of Margaret
which stood on her little dresser.
Calista was nothing if not master
full in the manner in which she
reached ultimate decisions-and then
lived up to them. Less than a minute
after she had allotted Jasper that
forget-me-not framed face she was
also promising him a note. For
Calista really had fellow feeling of
understanding for the man-especially
about that picture.
Dear brother Jasper, that was to
have been," her letter ran. 81 am
sending you for a Christmas present
the picture of Margaret which you
returned when you sent back, the
other presents she gave you. I know
you will like to have it again. know
how you feel. Just most like the day
I threw the peanuts at Kitty Mar
shaps head when she put them in my
lap and was mad at her. Only being
big man and not a little girl you
can't do 'xactly what did. OF course

REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE DAY
Puritans Of England Made Christmas
illegal and Declared 1t Mis-
demeanor to Be Gay.

English Puritans of the seventeenth
century guarded against looking upon
the rosy side of life.
Because Christmas is really a sur.
vlval of the Celts' Yu1e, and is not
the actual anniversary of the birth of
Christ, they refused to countenance
Christmas festivities. Not only did
they refuse to recognize the day, but
they made laws to that effect.
The parliament of 1914 passed an
act ordering all law abiding citizens
to observe December Is as a solemn
last to be spent in silent atonement
Tor previous Christmas days that had
nassed in riotous living and merry
making.
Naturally the community did not
mere in these hard and fast rules,
@nd many a turkey was surreptitious-
!" killed, and many plum pudding
'"'"tlT boiled. But woe betide the
unfortunate offender against the act
ere he luckless enough to be dis

'e5 such delicacies as mince pies,
e. and many were the pitched bat
t9S between disagreeing sections of
the public.

And then the wheels of Fate spun

HOW PRESS AGENTS PUT
 OVER SOME PUBLICITY

It is always the right of the owner, or press agent of play, or production, to rave over his star, or his chorus or his costuming, or any old thing he has, that he thinks is out of the or dinary, or that he thinks the eagle eyed city editor will pass as having sufficient news value to carry it, but it sometimes happens that the press agent digs up something that really is out of the ordinary and really should have special mention, and then he has some job to make the eagle eye believe that it is not a press yarn.
 All this leads up to the fact that despite the press agent, there is a scenic set at the Savoy Theater to- night that is so far removed from the common place as to be in a class by itself and the fact of it's being a real innovation in scenic sets was exemplified last night when Marry ing Marion opened, by the fact that
 
 applause, that was equal to any that the talent received and at that none of the actors were overlooked. It is beauty A set that makes one wonder how McGreer who did it, can crowd all the work of painting it into few days and get up in a part.
 It just adds twenty five per cent to really good show and coupled with What Happened to Mary proved magnet that even the Shrin- CT parade last night could not out draw.
 The Savoy Camera Fiend, who has been inviting the patrons to pick themselves out on the screen in a number of slides made from snap shots on the street, found George Riosa able to prove to the satisfac- tion of the big house that he was one of the men in a picture taken or Washington street and he received five dollars for having his picture taken The Camera Fiend was not out yes terday owing to the rain, but will be taking pictures on the downtown streets to make up for lost time.
 Tonight will see the amateurs, and if the press agent is as truthful as he was in regard to his scenic equip ment, it should be quite a night fol amateurs.

The big three reel Domino production, "Trre Irish Hearts" is a winner from start to finish, without a dull moment in it's entire length, correctly costumed and taken amid exquisite settings. The Thanhouser comedy, Mrs. Pink hursts ProXy.' is a good -natured burlesque by Riley Chamberlin of a well known English militant suffra gette. Of particular interest to local people is the added feature of the program, 1000-foot reel of the Ari- zona state fair, secured by the man. agement after hot competition, in which appears many well known To- cal lights.

SANDS ARE HOT DESPITE FALLING OF THE RAIN
Shriners Take Novices Over Tortur-
 ous Desert Trails

Despite the fact that the day was cloudy and that rain fell during the morning and afternoon, the moisture did not succeed in cooling the heated sands over which score or more of nOvices were led yesterday by the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine attend ing the ceremonial session at the Masonic Temple. Because of the rain it was necessary to abandon the pitching of the tents upon the de- sert but the sands were doubly hot up in the temple and the tortures were quite as exquisite as had been planned for the open air.
 The business session at 1:30 o'clock brought out an attendance of more than 100 nobles and there was an even larger attendance at the first session of the ritualistic work al o'clock. At ' o'clock, after hay ing enjoyed the buffet luncheon, the visitors and the local Shriners en- tered waiting automobiles and were driven about the streets which were brilliantly lighted with red fire. The second session began last evening at 7:30 o'clock and an especially fine program drove dull care completely away.
 The ceremonial will close this even ing with a grand reception and ball in the Woman's club building.

JUDGECAMPBELl
 AND HIS LAMPS
Former District Judge Is Cited to to Appear and Ex- plain Why He Left Au- tomobile Standing With out Lights At Night
Especial to The Republican)


 TUCSON, Feb. 23-Judge John H. Campbell, formerly district judge un- Ger Roosevelt, has been summoned to appear in the Tucson police court and explain why his automobile was standing on a city street more than an hour after sundoWn without lights.
 The judge was notified to appear before the city recorder today, but owing to Monday being a legal holi- day there were no hearings.
 When he heard that he had broken 6 city ordinance the judge dropped into the recorders office and asked if he could be told in an informal manner just what he was charged with because he desired to hear the evidence before he would be in a position to decide whether or not he was guilty.
 When informed of the offense he replied that he had been dining out and had left his car on the street when it was perfectly light, but that during the dinner darkness had crept upon the car and being unlighted had made it an offender against the law
 Police Judge Cowan showed him a copy of the new ordinance and after hastily perusing the section regard ing having lights, Judge Campbell remarked, T don't see anything here regarding standing automobiles"
 He claims that the ordinance is for the purpose of protecting people against machines moving on the highways and that an unlighted ma chine standing against the curb is not a source of danger to the people using the highways because it is immobile, but that horse tied to a post might endanger people by running away, and yet the source oi danger, the runaway horse and bug gy, need not carry lights, which is manifestly unjust.
