NOTED to the position of manager of

Large Fund Raised

A number of the friends of Major
E. d. Householder started a subscrip-
tion to fund to show their apprecia-
tion of his work by purchasing a
horse and equipment for him. ]. o.
Stream had the matter in charge and
had secured S140 when they learned
that instead of his having to furnish
this equipment the government pro-
vided it free. The larger subscribers
to the fund then decided to turn it
over to the local Red Cross. This
will be done but the fund will remain
in the Citizens State Bank few days
and all subscribers who object to this
method of disposing of it can with
draw the amount of their subscription.
The fund will be a great help to the
Red Cross and it is not believed any
will be withdrawn.

nate Time for the Purpose of Pro-
noting War Work

The movement on foot all over the
country among the business men to
arouse interest in the great work,
which thtis country will have to do if

Lamar business men and sixteen have
volunteered TO enter the class of four
minute takers which is becoming a
special feature of this movement.
They will limit themselves to four
minute talks and some of them will
be present at all public meetings,
church services, entertainments, pic
ture shows, etc. They will talk on
the subject of raising funds for the
Red Cross in its work, food conserva-
tion, labor situation, liberty bond sale
and the other vital subjects connected
with the winning Of this struggle. The
speakers, who have volunteered, have
no other interest in the subjects dis
,ussel than the patriotic desire to
ork for the advancement of the coun-
t-y's cause in this critical time. All
are merely trying to assist the COM
mittee in creating a unanimous and
enthusiastic interest in the war work.
Help all you can and when you can do

Douglas Fairbanks at Columbia.

"The Americana" in which Douglas Fairbanks will be seen as the star at the Columbia Theater today is a play of stirring adventure in a South Amer ican country, upset by revolution.
 Fairbanks, of course, is in the center of things. He appears as Blaze Der ringer, the play having been made from the novel of that name by Eu- gene F. Lyle. Jr. Blaze goes to the Republic of Paragonia to represent some American mining interests. The principal reason why he undertakes the commission is that he has had a glimpse in New York of the beauti- full daughter of the president of Para gonia and is exceedingly desirous of her further acquaintance.

A carload of bombs and shells is on it's way to Phoenix and when all these begin ex- ploding Thursday night, it will seem as if the zeppelins were invading Ari- Zona.
 There will be two hours of thrills and thrillers, starting at o'clock with dazzling military pageant in which various local organizations will take part. This will be followed by one of the most beautiful fireworks exhibi- tions ever displayed in the west and will be identically the same as given

 Then will come the terrific portrayal of the Battle of Verdun in which over 50,000 reports will be fired, shrieking shells. bursting bombs, exploding mines, intermingled with charging sol diers, Red Cross nurses, stretcher bearers and all modern war panoply to give a vivid pictAre of what is actually taking place in the northern part of France.

N0-WHEAT AND
 NO-MEAT DAYS
 T0START SOON
State Fair Patrons May Re
 ceive Surprise e W hen They Give Food Orders at
 Hotels and Restaurants

Fair week will see in Phoenix the first observance by public eating houses of the recommendations of the National Food Administration.
 On Tuesday, for all three meals, the restaurant patron will get no wheat bread or wheat products. unless he makes a loud understanding not eX- pected to happen. The substitutes for white bread will be toothsome us ually made of corn, rye or oats, ana there will be no real deprivation in dl- verting to the allies on the war 1rona a few thousand tons of wheat thus saved by the united action of the Am erican people.
 On Friday there will be no meat that is, no beef, mutton or pork. h. stead, there will be choice of fish, chicken and other fowl and of eggs in a score of styles. Thus will be left alive for a while a dozen or so of fat steers, that may serve later in tins. to support the fighters and workers of Europe.
 M. T, Grier of the Jefferson hotel, Phoenix. chairman of the hotel mems committee of the Arizona Food admin . istration, has done the work of enlist ing the restaurants of the capital city. He found only the heartiest co-opera- tion and good will, from the Adams hotel down through the line. The idea, on his suggestion, is spreading all over the state and promises to be general.
 In the east, a sample saving is that of the New Willard hotel in Washing ton, a house that has saved 2.0OO pounds of meat on Tuesdays and five barrels of flour on each of it's wheat less days. The great chain of Childs restaurants, S6 in number, has been enlisted, as have been several Atlan- tic steamship lines

Gladys BrockweIl.

For the last time today, the Lamara offers Gladys Brockwell, in Con science a picture which has been termed her greatest. It has been said that ones conscience is ones worst accuser. It is the stills small voice that will not be cast aside that haunts the wrongdoer This is the founda- tion for the plot of this most unusual photoplay Gladys Brockwell is cast for a role that demands that she play five different characters, each portray ing some episode of her life. She Is a girl who by nature is a lover of self, and who is indifferent to the misery and sufferings she inflicts on those around her. She is alluringly attrac- tive and uses her charms merely to trifle with mems hearts, But at last the right one comes along-and she finds herself in love. In the opening scenes she is seen in her boudoir sur rounded by her bridesmaids, who are congratulating her on her wonderful match. A message is sent her, the reading of which causes such a terri ble expression to overshadow her countenance that her bridesmaids be- come frightened and rush from the room. While thinking of the contents of the message, her spirit is seen to leave her and journey to the Court of Conscience. It is here that she under goes the terrible ordeal of having her misdeeds pass before her-and sees vividly enacted the misery she has caused-even to being responsible for suicides. During these scenes, Gladys Brockwell is said to have reached the highest emotional stages ever register ed before the camera. Tomorrow Will liam s. Hart comes to this house in ''The Narrow Trail"

Woman" will be brought to close at the Empress. The story of Two Men and a Woman is that of the eternal triangle, but it is offered in such an original and startlingly realistic man ner that the subject seems a new one. It is a sensational feature, to be sure, but it is not in the least exaggerated, nor is the stern reality of the theme ever sacrificed for rhe sake of the spectacular The cast has been most carefully chosen so that the story is in the hands of a line up of capable artists who give a most convincing portrayal of the various roles. It Is safe to say 1.-Two Men and a Woman" will prove perfect evenings enter tainment and will doubtless be well received during the last screenings to- night. On the same bill is being shown the American War Weekly. The week ly visits of this instructive film is more than a matter of passing inter- est, for it brings to the spectator the
 actual views of the activiy at present manifest in this great country of ours incident to its part in the world war.

"Men of the Desert" at The Hip.
 One of the best western pictures of the current season, from all accounts, finishes a two-days' stay at the Hip, starting this morning at ten o'clock. "Men of the Desert" with handsome Jack Gardner as the gallant COW puncher who fights and wins for the love of the girl who sees in him her hero, is splendidly cast and excellent ly supported in this desert classic. It is a picture with plenty of pep, lots of action. splendid scenic detail and a fine lot of cowboy riders and ropers. Jack Gardner was never better cast than in this story of feud between
