Anyone who misses seeing 'Dr. Rameau, which will be given at the Sultana, tonight, will be unfor- tunate indeed. This is one of the films that stands out above the usual run of even the highest class photo plays, and carries a lesson that all should get. It has been too we'll advertised to need further mention.
 Robert Warwick appears tomor- row night in theWorld Film produc- tion entitled, "The Man who found Himself''. This is five part photo play based upon George Broad hurst's successful drama, ''The Mills of the Gods," also called, "The Coward". James Clarke robs his employers in order to secure medical attention for his sister who dies in spite of the doctors efforts. The theft is discovered by fellow employee who blackmails Clarke. Both are discovered and sent to prison. Clarke escapes by chance gets a job, makes good, gains the love of a good girl and plans to marry. His old fellow criminal, at this point, having served his time, is let out. He finds Clarke and blackmails him again. Come out and see the solution.
 Sunday, Dec. 12, E1gar Selwin in "The Arab''. This is timely play depicting the conditions in Turkey. The story deals with the love of Samil, the Arab, for the daughter of an American Mission ary. The play is instructive and intensely interesting. It gives one a more intimate knowledge of Tur- key in one hours time than can be gotten from many times that many hours of reading.
 Of course you are going to see Mary Pickford, Tuesday night, in. "Little PaP'. That is treat that none can afford to miss. There are no other to compare the Pick ford productions with. They stand by themselves and represent the very top notch of perfection, in photo dramas. Little Pal gives Miss Pickford freer scope than any previous production in which she

RED LAKE VALLEY

Wm. McGee is building an ad- dition to his house this week.

 George Daggs is making ex- tensive improvements on his ranch. At present c. c. Car pehter is working on a large barn for him.

 Miss Lenore Francis, County School Supt. {o of Schools, was down from Flagstaff last week to visit our school. She seemed to be well pleased with the pro- gress of the school, and especi- ally was she well pleased with our excellent attendance this year. She gave the children a good talk which was filled with words of encouragement. After leaving the school she visited some of the patrons and encour- aged them in the school work. L.. w. Cureton's house upon the bench south of here is nearly completed already, and we are I glad to note that we will soon have new neighbor. e Fl sge: l Dale Mclean has been blow ing for the past week or so. |. Our Sunday School is well at. tended and much interest taken l in the work.
 Many of the ranchers are get. ting ready to trap coyotes this I winter. From the noise that these animals make here about the valley they are numerous.
 Lucille Carpenter was absent from school two days last week on account of sickness. This is the first time she has been ab sent this term.
 The farmers of this valley have demonstrated one thing this season that is not only ; great benefit to them but to the State at large. It is the grow ing of the potato. There is nc doubt but that the potatoes of Red Lake Valley are the best 1T Arizona and we might say in the whole United States. If we plant rough seed potatoes here we get smooth potatoes, and ii we plant smooth seed we gel still smoother ones in return. While the yield was not the best this year it was excellent con sidering our rainfall. The ranchers here should advertise their crops as Red Lake Valley potatoes and ask a higher price The quality and flavor is unsur- , passed.
 Among the ranchers who have made a test for water is c. H. Kinds. He has a well about ter , feet deep which supplies his his house and stock with the best of water. This is an un usually dry time and still the water holds it's level. Others nc doubt could be successful if they would try.

Preparing to Remove Some of Paintings of Doges

Marks was the chief object Of the devo-
ton of Venetian traders, soldiers, rulers
and citizens. Thus the Cathedral came
to be enriched until every inch Of its
walls bore some work of art and every
stone was a precious jewel. Sir Martin
Conway, Slade Professor Of Fine Arts at
Cambridge University, one of the high
est living authorities on the subject,
writing in view Of the probability Of an
air attack on Venice, has interestingly
described how art treasures came to be
accumulated in st. Marks:
Wherever victorious Venetian fleets
penetrated they brought home some pre-

other bombs fell either in canals or upon
places in the city where only slight dam
age was caused.
The aeropanes returned about an
hour later. One bomb which was then
thrown fell in the court Of an almshOuse
and set fire 10 piles Of wood. Two other
bombs exploded without doing any dam

Another air raid on Venice occurred
at twenty minutes to nine o'clock this
morning. Three Austrian aeropianes
dropped several bombs on the city.
Three persons were slightly injured"
This report shows that seven or more
bombs fell on the Piazza OF st. Mark.

From the beginning OF the war be-
tween Italy and Austria bombs were
dropped on Venice by Austrian aviators,
This occurred again and again during
May, June and July. Bombs shaped like
a soda water sphon were thrown. On
several occasions they struck the Piazza
of ST Marx.
From the first a general cry OF dismay
went up from both neulrals and belligcr-

ruined. y prominent New Yorker made

Only those who have seen Venice can
appreciate it's extraordinary richness
and beauty and the irreparable ruin that
9ouid be accomplished to it's fairylike
structures by attacks from the air or by
brutal artillery. Venice grew to wealth
and civilization in the earliest middle
ages, when the greater part of Europe
was plunged in feudal barbarism. 1t was
