LAST CHANCEFOR
 l REGISTRATION
Seven Places for Registra- tion Will Be Open for Last Times Today and To- morrow Voters Can Reg ister at Any Station

At the time of the closing of the
 seven registration stations in the city
 on Saturday night, about $500 voters
 had taken advantage of the opportun-
 ity to register for the coming city elec
 tiOnS. This represents d registration
 of only about fifty per cent. there be-
 ing something like 1900 persons in this
 city Who are entitled to cast d vote in
 the municipal election April and al
 so at the primaries on March f.
 All voters who have so far failed to
 register should remember that the seven places of registration will remain
 open today and tomorrow, so that
 there is but little or no excuse for
 anyone failing to qualify for voting.
 The registration stations will be open between the hours of a. m. and } D. m. The station at the city hall will remain open on Tuesday, the last day. until at least ten o'clock in the even- ing. and q goodly number of clerks will te on hand to hasten the work incl dent to the registration. Under these circumstances not much time will be lest by the person registering. It should be borne in mind that the voter can register at any of the sta tiOns, whichever is the most conVen- tent and also that previous registra- tionS will not entitle one to cast d vote. one MUST register this spring l or you cannot vote.
 There was some question as to
 whether the places of registration ! would be open during the noon hour, ! ami those in charge of the matter state
 that all of the places will be open be- 1 tween the hours of twelve and one as well as throughout the remainder of l the day, so that the working man will | have an opportunity to register. If you haven't Gone so, register to- 1 oay or tomorrow. It's your last | chance.

WHO WANTS ID GET MARRIED

Who is there in Maricopa county who wants to get married?
 This was question discussed at the home of the Loyal Order of Moose last evening. It came up when the idea of a public marriage was con- sidered in connection with the coming Moose carnival and fair. Public we'd dings have been arranged in many cities of late, and very successfully. nearly the whole community turning out to wish the young couples God Speed" on the journey of life.
 The plan is very simple. All it requires is to let Secretary brennan of the Loyal Order of Moose, or the Republican office know, that you want to get married. Then a committee will go to work and see that the min- ister or judge, just as is desired by the parties. is obtained, and the we'd ding will be solemniZed at the Fair grounds on Thursday of Fair week. In order to add to the incentive ] the managers of the event agree to , furnish cash present as well as much merchandise to the young coupel. The amount of these two
 prizes will make the offer exceed -
 ingly tempting. There is another side i of the matter that may be consid

 bE IN GREENLAND
 CAST AT COLUMBIA

Among the principals of the musi- cal comedy, "A Night in Dreamland," which is to be staged at the Columbia theater, March 2nd and 3rd, are many of the most talented singers of Phoe- nix. In presenting his work to local performers, the director has not re- ceiVed a refusal from any individual so attractive is the entire produc- tion-and so brilliant are the oppor- tunities for the artists of Phoenix. Wherever "A Night in Dreamland" has been staged. it has proven a brilliant social and artistic affair A great number of professional artists have been in the "Dreamland" cast of many cities in the east, not among the least IS Miss Elgie Bowen, the New York star of the Spring Maid" who was on the program for the pro- ductiCn when it was staged at Asbury Park, New Jersey two summers ago. Director Wellington expressed himself as more than pleased with the talent that is to appear in his Phoenix pro- ductiOn of "Dreamland," and it Will be interesting to know that the direc- tor in assigning parts does the very professional thing of not only consid- ering vocal quality,-but type-tem perameEt and dramatic ability of his principals are carefully considered before any one is asked to play any 1 certain part.
 The result is that q performer finds himself in the very part best suited I to him, and every principal appears 1 to the very best possible advantage. The cooperation of Mr. William Con- rad Mills in advising the director re- i garding the representative talent of the city has been a courtesy which the committee, as well as the director, feel deeply grateful for.
