SAMMY PACKERS WANTED UNDER
 NEW PATRIOTIC OPPORTUNITY

Here is a chance for men who are beyond military age to perform an active service on the front, the western front, the Italian front, the Mesopo- tamian front or the Russian front, wherever the "Sammies" may be sent. Be Sammy Backer" To become Sammy Backer' it is only necessary to undertake to become a correspond ent of some Arizona soldier, to give him encouragement and news from home; to send him magazines, news papers, and such other gifts as sug- gest themselves.
 It will not be long before the Arizona boys will be on the way. When they are landed at the front, to many of them there will come a feeling of hav- ing been cut off from their former lives. That will be bad for them; they will be the better soldiers for feeling that they are the personal representa- tiveS of some one living at home.
 Many of the "Sammies" will really have no one to represent except their country and while at that it is pretty good representation there will be some thing vague and indefinite about it. Each "Sammie' would rather know that he is fighting for something more tangible; for some person.
 The Republican proposes to organize a Sammy Backer' contingent. It is not the originator of the idea but it takes this method of endorsing it. Who will respond? This appeal is ad dressed to men. The roll is open for enlistment in the Sammy Backers."

TAX RATE WILL
 BE SET MONDAY

The tax rate on all classes of taxable property in Maricopa county will be approved by the board of supervisors at it's regular session on Monday. Clarence Standage clerk of the board is now engaged in the preliminary work in levying the taxes of the county.

 The back tax suits that were to have been brought this week will have to go over another seven days owing to the fact that County Attorney L. M Laney is giving his time to the exemption board.
 w. K. Bowen, acting chairman of the board, stated that the delinquent tax suits, will start on Monday after a conference of the supervisors, the county treasurer and the county at torney.

HOW TO BE A SAMMY BAckER'

i. You must be man. 2. You must be above draft age. 3. You must write your name and address on the Sammy Backer" application and pledge printed above. (It is not necessary b write anything on the line after "remarks."
 4. You must mail this application to Sammy Backer" Editor, The Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Ariz.
 5. Last, but not least you must be willing to fulfill the gentle obli- . qations and privilege thus under taken, by sending your Sammy" letters, magazines, birthday re- membranes, "smokes," Thanks giving boxes, or any other small thing that may make easier for him the task of fighting for you.
 6. This you do with the clear un- derstanding that there is no financial consideration of any kind involved, and that the whole thing is a purely private ar- engagement between your Sam my" and yourself.

 T0 BE: SOLDIER

The first Arizona newspaper man assured of a billet in France or some where on one of the battle fronts is William P. Doheney, Jr., for the last two years editor of the Arizona Labor Journal, which under his management has been ably conducted for he has been a firm believer in all the Journal stands for
 MT Doheney's name was pretty well up in the list of the drawing for the selective army and on Saturday he was called and subjected to a physical ex- animation. He was informed yester- day that he had passed. He accord ingly surrendered the editorial man. agement of the Journal to c. E. Tracy and is fixing up his affairs, prepara- tory to entering a mobilization camp.
 Billy Doheney was born and raised in Phoenix and he has made good by the earnestness with which he has gone about every task set for him. He intends to make good as soldier and said yesterday that he was rather glad of the opportunity the draft had open ed to him. Ever since he was a boy. and he is little more than one now, ne mas wanted to see France as well as other European countries and had expected to do so France just now is in disheveled state, all mussed up, but it is all the France there is, and he can never have another chance to see 1t at so little expense.
 In a day or two MT. Doheney will leave for the Grand Canyon and other points in the north. He has lefb his address with the authorities so that he may be summoned whenever, the government is ready for him.

Billie and the Big Stick" is the story by Richard Harding Davis featured at the Columbia today with Two Ken lucky Boys, very pretty romance of the CIVIL War period. and two scenic pictures, one Climbing Mt. Washing ton, which shows Dartmouth college boys engaged in the dangerous sport or mountain climbing; the other.
 Gathering Bananas and Cocoanuts," very interesting picture showing ne- groes working in the hot sun of the west Indies and women wrapping punches of bananas for which they get 35 cents a day; also showing the ne- groes climbing the trees after cocoa = nuts, and they seem to enjoy the work, too.
 An excellent comedy and a weekly news reel is also shown. Tomorrow a new show, starting the famous Fri angle pictured with "The Wharf Rat, y and new Keystone comedy with snow stars.
 Robert Harron, who plays opposite Mae Marsh in "The Wharf Rat" the new Triangle-Fine Arts drama, says he would like to have a chance playing woman hater for a change. Kissing lrouged lips isn't at all what it's smacked up to be, he thinks.

 EXTENSION II
 END WEDNESDAY
Number Who Have Signed
 Up Not as Great as Was
 Expected; Water Election on August 21 Important

Wednesday is the last day under the extension granted by the department of the interior in which those ranchers under the project who have not signed up for their water rights may do so and there are still a large number who still persist in their determination not to make such applications. There are also a number who have come in since the extension was granted and who have complied with all of the require ments save signing their names. They, too, will have to come in before the close of business on Wednesday and sign the papers in order to be assured of water rights.
 There is some surprise that more have not taken advantage of the eXten- sion of time granted by the depart ment. It is said that there were about 400 who had not signed at the time the order was granted and while quite number have come in under the ex- tension, the number has not been large enough to fill expectations.
 Interest among the water users in the election on August 2l, when the stockholders in the association will vote upon the question of taking over the project is not as keen as it should be for this is one of the most impor tant elections at which the stock holders have ever been privileged to vote. It is hoped that the vote will be large and conclusive as if the con- tract should be ratified by majority at very lightly attended election it might be taken at Washington as an indication that the water users of the valley are not much interested in the matter. Many may stay away from the polls because they believe there will be no opposition and if the vote is small the element in the service oppos- ing the surrender of the project to the water users would thereby have an argument in their favor because of the anna rent lack nf intaraSt hara

"Mv Official Wife at Plaza"

A number of scenes in My Official Wife" a de luxe edition of the great success which Vitagraph released some time ago with Clara Kimball Young, Earle Williams, Harry Mercy and other prominent Vitagraph players contains genuine thrills.
 One scene in particular in this feat ure which is the attraction at the Plaza theater today only shows the sinking of a ship. MT. Williams, who is in love with Miss Young, a Nihilist, much sought after by the Russian;gov- ernment, ahas taken her on his ya6H to esoape the pursuers. While they realize that they will eventually meet death they desire to face it together, happy in the love which has made death preferable to separation. Flashes of the pursuing ship are shown with the stolid soldiers shooting shells through the water after the escaping vessel with it's desired passengers
 First one shell and then another cuts it's rapid way through the calm still water. Again and again the missile fails in it's mission for the nobleman's yacht has great speed. Gradually the tension is heightened but when it
 reaches the highest pinnacle the last shell hits the yacht and beams, furni- ture and machinery fly into the air as so much debris.
 i. MT. Williams and Miss Young, who had tied themselves together in order to carry out the story, suffered to no small extent from the floating wreck age in the water after the wreck when they are found lying side by side in the water.
 Nevertheless, both artists refused to have the realism of the production en- hanced by any change in plans so they | suffered through the filming of the
 necessary scenes without murmur.

Viola Dana at the Hin

Cute little Viola Dana has a vehicle in "Aladdins Other Lamp, which opens at the Hip today that might have been written for her alone. Willard Mack is it's author and it is a modern tale of a little drudge girl who slaves away, dreaming of her mother whom she does not remember. Imbued with the idea that Aladdin's Lamp is in the village, she buys an old lamp from a curio idealer and falls asleep to dream of lgenii coming to take her to a great ball.
 There she finds many delights and in her glee she claps her hands three | times which sends the good genii away forever She turns back to the little drudge girl and stands in the center of
 the ball room in her night clothes.
 When she awkens to find it all dream
 she throws the lamp out of the win
 dow and it breaks. revealing some pa .pers which disclose the identity of her town mother.
 "Aladdin's Other Lamp' is pretty
