chicken pie supper at that place
Thursday evening, December 2, tc
which all are cordially invited.
The BLADE wants a good live
correspondent at Forker to furnish
the news from south Linn and
north Charlton and would be GLAD
to hear from someone who would
be willing to act in that capacity.
Now is a good time to have your
house wired and get on the electric
light service. In other words,
move up a notch and be progress
sive, and enjoy some of the modern
fconveniences Of life as you go
along.
Attention is directed to the
official statements Of the financial
condition Of the two local banking
houses printed on this page of The
BLADE today. Both show sub
stantial gains since their statements
last June. No town has better
banking facilities than Laclede.
If anyone doubts the drawing
power of newspaper advertising
they should have been at the
station last Tuesday noon. When
train 4 pulled out for Brookfeld
the coaches were crowded and there
was no standing room on the plat
forms, and few minutes later
train IA picked up big bunch for
the same place. Last Tuesday
was one Of the biggest days Brook
field merchants have had for some
time.
While going from town to her
home last Monday evening, the
horse Mrs. F. F. Welsh was driy-
ing became frightened and ran
away. She was thrown from the
buggy near the home of Roy Bailey
and for a time it was thought she
was seriously hurt but on -examin-
alton by a physician it was found
no bones were broken and she had
escaped with only a few bruises
and scratches from which she is
recovering.
More than two hundred sub
scriptions to THE BLADE expire
this month and next. We hope to |
have a prompt renewal in every |
case and will appreciate not having |
to mail personal notices. The
rule of pay in advance and stop at
unless otherwise noti-
fed will be continued. The profit
is so small on subscriptions at one
dollar per year that pay in advance
is the only way to handle the busi-
ness as otherwise the loss would
wipe out the profit entirely.

Washington Organizer Ar rives to Prepare Arizona Women for San Fran cisco Headquarters in Phoenix

Mrs E. St. Clair Thompson, of Washington, D. C., is here representing the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage The national headquarters are located in Washington, and there are a great many national organizers sent out to organize in each suffrage state a Woman Voters Convention, the purpose being to elect delegates to the National Convention of Woman Voters to be held in San Francisco, September 14 to Is.
 Mrs. Thompson has just finished a most successful convention in the state of Colorado. She is planning to have the Arizona convention about Septem- Der 10, so that the Arizona delegates will have plenty of time to reach San Francisco and take part in the conven- tion there.
 The convention will be strictly non- partisan. Voting women or whatever party are invited to attend. The ob- iect is to band together all voting wo- men So that plans may be made at the convention in California. to reach every member of congress and senator with a personal appeal in order to show the importance of the suffrage movement and the general desire of the voting women of the west to help their un-en- franchised sisters of the east. If pres sure is brought to bear on congress, the women are sure that suffrage will be- come a party measure. and that the Susan B. Anthony amendment, for which the Congressional Union stands, will pass at the next session of con gress.
 The Susan B. Anthony amendment is quite simple, merely stating that
 The right of citizens of the United states to vote shall not be denied or

UNIVERSAL BROADWAY
 FEATURE AT LAMARA

The first of the great Universal Broadway features to be shown in Phoenix will be at the Lamara theater for two days. It is The Scarlet Sin" and is produced by Hobart BosWorth, which is pretty generally recommends tion enough for any picture.
 The story centers about a minister in a mining camp, who is a man of splendid physique and simple Scandin- avian tastes. He is married. In the course of his ministrations among the miners a strike breaks out but such is his influence over the members of his parish that he is able to settle the strike.
 While this is going on, however, he is having a worse sort of a strike at home. His wife, a beautiful woman, becomes bored with the limitations of their circle and runs away with another fellow. This is where the strength of character of the man is shown Some time passes and the ward of the min ister becomes the object of his affec- tions. There is now no legal impedi- ment to his marriage with her and the two are married but just at the time his real wife shows up.
 The whole makes a strong denoue- ment It is carried out with that per lection Of understanding that Bosy%>rth knows so well how to put into a pie ture. Together with Chaplin comedy it will be the program today and to- morrow.

ID ORGANIZE WOMEN VOTERS FOR CONVENTION, MRS. THOMPSON HERE

abridged by the United States or by any state pn account of sex" It is felt by the women of the coun- try that no more important measure can be brought before congress and that until all women are enfranchised, ! it is wrong to force other measures through the national legislature with | out the voice of the women who, as we'll as the men of the country, are | taxed to support the United States gov l ernment/
 Already a great many members and l senators are in favor of woman suf- I frage. The idea is to convince the doubting ones, of whatever party, that the desire for suffrage is widespread and that the voting women of the west, | already blessed with the vote, are anx- 1 ious to help their sisters of the east to obtain the same privileges they enjoy and that they are ready to ask their | members and senators not only to vote 1 for woman suffrage but to work for it l in the 64th congress.
 The method of obtaining suffrage state by state is much too slow, and as women are common to all states this question of enfranchisement, above all others, is a question to be decided na- tionally. It is no invasion of states | rights when an enactment of the fed l. eral legislature affects and benefits the women of all states.
 | Mrs. Thompson Is a southern wo-
 man her native state being North Car l olina. She says the desire for suffrage among the women of the south is uni versal and that enthusiasm in that sec
 tion Of the country is growing day by | day.
 At the convention to be held here 1 state officers will be elected, including a state chairman, three vice chairmen
 a secretary and a treasurer, and a suf- 1 ficient number of delegates to repre- 1 seEt the voting women of Arizona at the National Convention of Women | Voters to be held in California. This convention of women voters will be the I first convention of the kind ever held and is epoch making in the history of
 the country

Attractions at the Lion

Yesterdays program will be repeated again today at the Lion, and inciden- tally 1t is some program too. The Keystone comedy "The Little Teacher is scream. Fatty Arbuckle as one of the mischevous school boys and Mack Sennett as his co-partner in mischief and crime are great. Mabel Normand as the teacher gets her opportunity to administer some regular beatings to them. owen Moore as the teacher's S lover is very clever in fact this is one of the best Keystones seen at the Lion for some time.
 This weeks installment of The Dia- mond From the Sky" with Lottie Tick ford in the lead, is an extremely inter esting one. The much sought after Stanley diamond in the last of the in stallment adorns the neck of an Indian papoose.
 The two single reels that go to com plete the six reel program are way above the average.

ADJUSTMENTS
FILM 0F FALL
 OF PRzEMYsL

Saturday. with matinee, the doors of the Columbia will be thrown open to welcome what has been able film subjects ever brought be- fore a camera, the Battle and Fall of Prezmysl.'' The pictures were taken by A. K. Dawson, a war cor respondent at the front and sent to this country by permission of the Austrian general staff.
 They encompass every part of life in the great European conflict from the rushing of troops to the front to the firing of the great guns which in themselves are the most wonderful part of the great picture exhibition.
 These guns that require a traction engine to move them on the battle fields fire a shell that costs $40O0 each and to see the Germans bat tering the retreating ranks of the great Russian army will be a sight never again permitted in this gen. eration.
 The great daily papers of the east in commenting on those pictures on their recent presentation in New York said that if for no other req son they should be acquired by the United States government to show the awful effects of the terrible war.
 The pictures are fit for every one and they will not offend the most discriminate but they are pictures of war and war as it was unknown un- til this titanic conflict

ASSISTANT CHIEF OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY
 ID VISIT ARIZONA
Game Laws That Conflict With Federal Statutes Thought to be Object of
 U. s. Officials Visit

E w. Nelson, assistant chief of the United States biological survey, has an nounced his intention of visiting Phoe- nix in the near future
 What the real intentions of Mir Nel- son happen to be in making a visit to Arizona have not as yet been an- nounced. but the alleged violations of the federal game laws, protecting mil gratory birds, is thought to be one of the objects of interest which MT. Nell son will look into.
 The shooting of white wings contrary to federal law has been called to the attention of the biological survey, and they have also been asked for an opin- ion as to the legality of shooting ducks at the present time.
 The Arizona laws protect the ducks until the first of this month, but the federal laws again conflict and say they must not be killed until the fifteenth of October.
 It is expected that MT. Nelson will take the subject up with State Game Warden Willard, and some logical plan worked out to the understanding of all concerned.

tion and after securing valuable docu- ments from him, she finds herself in love with him. She afterwards learns that he is the son of the man respon- sible for her ruin and her old hate re- turns. Events bring all back to New York. Many complications arise in volving Jeanne the young man, his father and his fiancee. The young man resolves to marry her but is prevented by her as she fully realizes that a hap py marriage could never have resulted if she had married him herself while he had a full knowledge of the history of her past.

STANLEY WORCESTER IS
 THE CHAMPION CHAPl|N

Stanley Worcester-he of the ow- Gashus bathing suit and other para phernalia earned by his efforts in imitation of the well known C. Chap lin, the title of champion comicker, and fifteen gold dollars at the Elm press last night It was a tight race between Stanley and Newell Lomas for first place, for if Stanley had Ckaplin's oddisms, Newell at least was equipped with the most Chap linesque features. In fact, Newell won one first on account of the fact he Iookks more like Charlie than Charlie does his own self. So New ell got second.
 Between Harry Aaron and Manuel Portillo, it was a still battle for third money last night, and the judges had to send the two boys out twice over in order to choose between them by the applause of their supporters Manuel winning on the third trial. The work of all the contestants showed a lot of real or reel thought and preparation, and the contest was a blazing blistering success

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 L|FELESS, GRAY HAIR
Look Young! Common Garden Sage and Sulphur Darkens So Natu-
 rally No One Can Tell

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance. this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for wy eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, you will get a large bottle of this old time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended pon to restore natural color and D, auty to the hafT and is splendid fo. dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known down town drug gist says everybody uses Wyeth's 8 Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens SD naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied-it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair. taking a strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant.

FOX FILM MAN REPORTS
 MANY FEATURES COMING

MT. R. F. Barron, of the Fox Film corporation, with headquarters at Los Angeles, arrived in Phoenix this week after a very successful trip throughout the state. MT. Barron reports that con- tracts for the showing of Fox Features has been placed in every town of 1900 or more in the state and in every town he hears only praise of the efforts made by Wm. Fox to produce the very best in pictures and every theater reports increased business on these pictures.
 MT. F'oxs policy is best shown in his orders to his producers and directors: "GentIemen. when you bring a com pleted picture to me I want you to be able to honestly and conscieniously say to me this is the best picture I have ever made ".
 It is this policy that enables him to send Herbert Barron that greatest of all producers who produced the now famous "Neptunes Daughter" featuring Annette kellerman, with a $5OO,00 ex- petition to Jamaica to make another and still greater feature with Annette Kellerman as the star. This production requires that an entire city be built under the sea. It means to months of arduous work to produce what must be q feature that will be remembered for years. Among other feature pro- auctions that will shortly be seen in Phoenix are The Two Orphans" with Theda Bara, Jean Sothern and Vim. Shea ss the stars, ''The Bondmen" with Wm. Farnum the greatest of ale male stars in the lead.

State Auditor Issues His Certificates Acknowledging the States Indebtedness, but they
 Don't buy Much

The new certificates issued by State Auditor J. C. Callaghan in payment of claims presented by rrembers of the National Guard, were out and circulating yesterday.
 Following the muddle in which the appropriation bill has been sadly mixed. the auditor refused to honor claims made by the guard, but very graciously consented to issue the cer- tificates, acknowledging the state's s indebtedness to the holders.
 So far yesterday, no bank, business house or individual had been found who would honor the certificates and cash them. Consequently the local holders. will perforce await until the

 The picture will be shown here first then sent over the state where the demand for them has already taken up much of the month to come.
 This afternoon the newspaper men of Phoenix will be guests of Messrs. Mauk and Richards at a special pri- vate screening of the pictures when the scribes will be shown real war.

Blanche Sweet at Arizona Today Only

Blanche Sweet at Arizona Today Only
 One of the essential and unusual motives in Margaret TurnbulPs emo tional drama, Stolen Goods, in the photodramatization of which Blanche Sweet makes her third appearance un- der the management of the Lasky Feat ure Play company, is kleptomania. Miss Sweet plays the role of a working girl who is sent to a store to match some samples. A rich young woman, standing at the same counter, is con- firmed kleptomaniac, and can't resist the temptation to steal some laces. When she sees that she has been watched. she slips the laces into the bag of the working girl who is natur- ally convicted on that account. It is this miscarriage of justice which leads to all the events of the plot.
 The Paramount South American Travel pictures will also be shown for the last time today.

proper status of the appropriation bill is ascertained, or the legislature meets and votes more funds for the guard.
 The holders at Morenci, have found happy solution of their di- lemma, in that Col. Tuthill com mander of the first regiment is talk ing up the certificates, and cashing them as fast as they are presented. At Tucson a bushes houe is accom- modating the holders in a like man ner.

At the Coliseum

All about Turks, and their ways, manners and means will be staged tonight by Lee Harrison's Southern Rose Buds, assisted by Lee himself occasionally, too. The plot of the little playlet is very simple, but has the punch all the way through and a little bit after also, it seems. A feature of the show is the black face work of Lee Harrison and Jess But tons The Pirate of Turkey is sure to hold up the high class of shows that has been so far put on by the company. The musical numbers are all up to date and well worth going some distance to hear, while the chorus is there all the time.
