SMOKING |S FIRST SERIOUS
 ISSUE IN NEW LEGISLATURE
Hon. Rachel Berry of Apa- che Isn for Third Wom- an in Legislature; She's S Against My Lady Nico- tine;;' Causes Nerves

No personal privileges should be
 permitted and smoking should be
 tabooed in the house of represents : tives, according to Honorable Rachel Berry of Apache, first woman mem
 Der of the lower house of an Arizona legislature.
 If smoking were abolished it would be a benefit to mankind. It's all nonsense about tobacco quieting the nerves. If the men did not use
 it they would not be nervous" It was said in quiet, dignifiel
 way that stamped the speaker an
 earnest reformer yet one not seeking
 notoriety by freak legislation Any thing of a senatiOnal nature would be absolutely foreign to the lady from Apache" who only wants to 6o what is right without any publicity
 T do not think we should work for personal gain for we are merely agents. Whatever is best for the county and the state will have my sincere support Naturally I am concerned in the laws that affect women and children but am deeply interested in educational measures. The Hon. Mrs. Berry arrived at the state house but a few moments before the house convened. She was
 greeted warmly by those who knew
 her, but aside from the members from the north, she did not seem to have large acquaintance
 While her surroundings were un- familiar and sthe atmosphere rather
 smoky Mrs. Berry was thoroughly at her ease.
 Back home" in St. Johns, she IS exceedingly popular. The calm, dig nified woman has many followers and was a factor to be reckoned
 with in the suffrage campaign. She is said to have won as many votes 1 for political equality as any one woman. She is an ardent prohibi- 1 tionist and is devoted to the cause.

HAST DAYS 0F POMPEH" AT THE lANARA TODAY
Classic Reproduction of BuIwer Lyt toms Novel, Feature of Popular
 House.

It is nearly a hundred years ago that Lord Bulwer Lytton wrote The Last Days of Pompeii," and during all that time it has survived as one of the greatest romantic novels in the world of literature, and still holds marvellous fascination for hosts of readers.
 George Kleine has just produced a photo drama of the novel which will doubtless live for many hundreds of years to come and be shown upon the screen ages hence as evidence of the wonderful development of the art of photography in these times
 Mir Kleine's production was made iii italy and vsualizes all the most important incidents of the story with vivid realisms. The heartrending tale of the great love of the blind flower girl, Nydia, for her handsome master Glaucus. and her terrible suffering when she learns lone has won his heart are all brought out with tel ling truth. The tragic results of her efforts to win his love with the use of the love philtre the wicked Arbaces gave, and which destroys Glaucus' reason, is dramatically il- lustrated. And the final episode showing the awful catastrophe of the eruption of the mighty volcano of Nesuvius with it's clouds of ashes, flame and smoke completely des- troying Pompeii is reproduced with spectacular grandeur that is owe in spring and impressive
 Taken as a whole it is one of the most remarkable photo dramas that has ever been produced Mr. Klenines production of The Last Days of Pompeii'' will be the at traction at the Lamara theatre, be- ginning today for two days with matinees

IRRIGATION AS A MEANS OF OVERCOMING

 For six months my next neighbol to the north has been coming to my pump for his drinking and cooking water. His well has been either dry or so low as to make the water un- desirable ever since early last sum- mer-
 My next neighbor on the south. who depends upon a pipe supply, has like wise been short Tor fuIiy as long, and wholly without water several times during that period.
 The mill stream which runs through the meadow in front Of me has re- peatedly dWiHdled to a tricl1ie which wouldn't more than turn a boys fan wheel and the little ur-brook which courses throush my own low meadow has twice dried completely up.
 During the spring and early summer Wo had a frequent succession of showers which kept the surface well ncoistened- None, however, were real ground to any depth. They weze enough, with the supplement of ire Qusnt surface rnulchings, to keep gar den crops growing well and most farm crops also were helped by them. But they were followed i'll the late summer and fall by a prolonged drouth, the backbone of which has not even yet been broken, and whose ef- fects are vexatiousIy apparent in the shortage of well or spring water at many houses.
 For at least i've years past, we have had droUJhs during the growing sea- son, most of them worse than last years in their effect on crops, though perhaps not SO annoying in relation to home water supply.
 It's getting to be a serious question what VIC shall do about these increas- 5ASiy frequent drouths. They are be- coming something more than bother some: they are getting to be seriously detriuaent al. Have we got to study up irrigation, us We used to study up drainage:
