DE WOLF HOPPER THINKS HE HAS
 CREATED SOMETHING

DcWolf Hopper's debut as a motion rtcture star is announced for the com ing week at the Arizona theater The long comedian will be seen as the leading memoer of the Triangle-Fine Arts company presenting a film yer sion of the Cervantes classic, Don QuiXotc."
 More than two months were spent in producing for the screen the story of the famous old idealist who was too impractical to achieve his aims. David W. Griffith, under whose supervision tre production was made believes that Don Quixote' aceomplishes distinct step forward for film drama, and that it has definite and positive educa . tional value.
 Most readers will doubtless renem- her the old Don as a muddle- minded individral who tried to defeat wind mill with his lance. but came a cropper, and will recall that this had something to do with his thinking himself a knight errant riding about the world to re.ircas wrongs But there is much mere than that to the story. CerVan- tes. in his satire not only pokes fur at the impractical idealist, but creates a character of immortal fame and a humorous narrative that is virtually without a plot

Around this popular theme Booth Tarkington with his in imitable style builded great story and the Smalleys have done a mighty good phOtOplay. It is under the Blue Bird banner and the trade papers in review ing the picture say that it has had no better treatment in any of the current releases of this rapidly growing firm of producers.
 The story of the girl who flirted her self and her whole family as well as her friends into not only trouble but | crime, is a vivid lesson that many a thoughtless woman can take to heart. 1 It is one of the picture plays the

 LION MONDAY AND TUESDAY

view of the United States navy in
 all it's branches, true to life and filmed
 with the approval of the government. is
 shown in the latest Vitagraph release
 The Hero of Submarine D-2." written
 by Cyrus Townsend Brady and pictur-
 ized by Jasper Ewing Brady, brothers,
 whose experice in naval and military
 matters has made this picture one of
 the most powerful and effective ever screened. Doctor Brady wrote the pie ture and Colonel Brady picturized it. The former graduated fin 1883 from the I naval academy at Annapolis and re- signed to take up civil life, but later served as chaplain of the First Penn sylvania Volunteers in the war with Spain. Colonel Brady enlisted in the United States military corps and after serving eight months was discharged hy order of the secretary of the navy at the request of Senator Ingalls, of Kansas. "The Hero of Submarine D-2" is a navy thriller with a smashing love story that makes the picture valuable not only from dramatic standpoint but from an educational one, showing as it does the true condition of the United States navy at the present time. It was through Colonel Brady's influence that special authority was granted by the government to use the fleet and that officer obtained permission to do every thing except declare war" The pie ture proves that officer for officer and
 man for man the United States navy has no equal among the fighting na- tions of today.
 ''The Hero of Submarine D-2" will be shown at the Lion theater Monday and Tuesday and every American citi- zen in Phoenix should see it, for pre- paredness is now one of the most vital questions of the day

DEALING HONESTLY WITH THE
 PUBLIC

The American people are tolerant. They will stand a great deal. The American people inherit from their Puritan ancestors the desire to be fair and will meet anyone half way. But patience is subject to a strain at times that results in insurrection.
 When the crusade against the high cost of living was inaugurated few weeks ago the public was determined, if possible, to find out the cause. The burden had become oppressive. The result of state investigations, while not at all satisfactory, have; at least, placed check on the operations of the feed barrons.
 For instance, in the early weeks of December eggs in Boston were sold for 60 cents dozen. Even in Mem phis the yard egg sold as high as 55 cents. It was predicted at the time that eggs the week before Christmas would sell for 75 cents dozen.
 The food investigation put a pinch on the raise. Eggs can now be had for 40 cents a dozen.
 There are other food products that are feeling the influence of investiga- ton.
 So long as the speculators in the food market can get by without com ing into contact with the federal gov ernment, they will resort to sharp tricks and unfair practice in making the necessities of life almost prohibi- tive in price.

f. THE USE OF COMMERCIAL FER
 TlLIZERS-HISTO

IlGIZ hS-F1lo OnT.
 We would not be disposed to try to give complete history of the use of commercial fertilizers, but only to show how this great industry began and grew in the Southern United States. Generally speaking, the far mers of this generation inherited the habit of applying fertilizers to soils but have not been taught the underly- ing principles of the industry.
 The use of some kind of manures on soils with crops for the purpose of in- creasing the yields goes back to an, cient times. We know that many an. cient people applied animal manures to their soils for this purpose. The Chinese centuries ago, applied ma nures of various kinds to their soils and gardens and with phenomenal re- suits. In Won Tshudis Travels in Pe- ru we find that as early as the middle Of the last century notes were being taken on the actual value of Guano by the Peruvians.
 Bousingault speaks of seeing fields in Peru on which wheat had been < grown every year for two centuries. and the yield still high and the grow CTS prosperous.
 The practice of using mineral ferti. lizers was introduced direct from Pc I'll { the United States in the year lS46 and was based on such reports as we find above. It had already been used in England before it found it's way into the United States, but Peru seems to be the country in which the application of minerals to soils as plant food originated. We do not know this is true, but all evidence points to this. It is of greater interest to us therefore that we know about the customs in Peru.
 The first man in the Southern States to use this Peruvian guano was David Dickson. of Sparta. Ga, who saw an Advertisement of it in the old Ameri- can Farmer published in Baltimore. The South has perhaps never had a more successful farmer than David Dixon, who made many millions of dollars farming. and who was a plo- neer in many other lines as well as in the use of mineral fertilizers In the year iSiG, the year after it was intro duced into the United States, he bought three sacks and used it, and on find ing that 1t paid him, bought It in in creasing quantities till the year 1855 and 1856, when he went into it fully" AS Is suggested above this is no doubt the first instance of the use of a con- centrated mineral fertilizer on cotton Tn the United States.
 The universal success with which MT Dickson met in the use of this Pc. ruVlan guano led many other proni. hent farmers to follow his example. and in every reported case, success followed it's use. We are constrained 10 believe that the way that the appli, cation of this mineral fertilizer to the cotton anu other crops in the South could not possibly have been an acci- ueht. It's success was unquestionably passed on the actual needs of the soil. quickly available manure was wnat 'he crop needed, and when this was ohce applied results were evident.
 Alter time it was found that the reruvian guano, which contained prin- cipaily nitrogen. produced too much s.aik and not much increase in the sieid or fruit, and hence it's use was soh(ewhat discouraged for season
