ASSOCIATED ADVERTISING
CLUBS SUBMIT PLAN
TO McADOO.
COST ESTIM MATED
Campaign Would Entail Ex-
penditure of From $1,000
900 to $2,0OO,OOO.

Washington, Aug. 16.--A detail
plan for advertising the next issue
Of the Liberty Loan bonds in news
papers and other mediums of publi-
city, to cost from 81 100000 to $2,-
100000, and to be paid for by the
government, was presented today to
Secretary McAdoo by the National
Advertising Advisory Board Of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World with the recommendation that
it be adopted.
On the basis of an expenditure Of
$1,000,000 the following distribu-
ton of the fund was suggested:
Daily, Monthly and weekly papers,
including those printed in foreign Ian
guages, 100000; farm papers, ST.
0,000; small town dailies and week
lies, $l,000,000; printing posters,
circulars. etc, $1,000,000
The mediums which the board pro-
poses to use are detailed as follows:
Newspapers, magazines, farm pa
pers, business press, religious press,
foreign language press, painted bull
letins, billboards, street cars, circular
cations, house organs and factory
bulletins.
A delegation headed by Herbert S.
Houston, Of New York, chairman,
presented the program to Secretary
McAdoo and strongly urged that the
government pay the bills for adver-
tising space in disposing of the next
issue. The space devoted to adyer-
Using the first issue cost the govern
ment nothing.
The board and the agencies which
It represents gave their services free
to the government in advertising
he first issue, and the same services
Mr. Houston stated, would be given
the government again without cost
in advertising the second issue. The
expenditure sought would be devot-
ID purely to payment for advertis-
ing space.
while the great bulk of the
daily press will expect to charge
for space" the boards recommen-
dation said, 'it will gladly give the
minimum rate, although the amount
Of space to be used would not entitle
the government to that rate, and
will give preferred position to the
advertising Some full pages
would be used under this plan, but
it also proposes to institute an en-
tire innovation by running small
advertisements, such as rs lines deep
by two columns wide, on front pages.
"This is something that no other
advertiser could buy at any price,
because Of the fact that almost
without exception newspapers refuse
10 carry advertising on the front
pages, A number Of leading dali
les have agreed that they will break
the rule for the sake Of furthering
the sale of these bonds"
The only cost for posters or bill
boards, the board reported, to be
place in 5000 cities and towns,
would be the printing of the posters
and the distribution. Space in
thousands Of street cars have been
offered without charge and the only
cost will be the printing and shipping
of the cards.
The amount available for float
ing the second issue of the liberty
loan has not been disclosed, nor has
the sum spent on the first issue been
made public.
A total Of s7,00O,000 was autho-
rized by Congress.

[. [. GROVE WEARS
 BECOMING SMILE

k. G. Grove is something more than a policeman. He is grand father, twice over. This became matter of record yesterday morning when a bouncing S-pound boy ar rived at the home of MT. and Mrs. J. J. Harter, Jr., 164S West Linden street, and announced his intention of remaining. The youngster was welcomed not only by his mother, who is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Grove, but by the father, too, for the father saw in him possibilities of a valuable assistant in his work as billing clerk in the Santa Fe freight offices.
 This is the second child of the Harters, daughter having been born more than year ago. The arrival of the daughter gave to Policeman Grove the right to be called grand pa and he was proud of his then new title. Now that the youngster has come to bless the home of MT. and Mrs. Harter, Grandpa Grove has assumed a smile that won't come off. He likes it better than credit for the most important arrest it would be possible for him to make.

MEMORIAL
 IS NEXT SUNDAY
Eugene Brady O'NeilI. Christy Mackin. A. B. Kellogg.

These three deceased members will be especially eulogized by Phoenix lodge, No. 335. B. P. O. Elks at an- nual memorial services at 3 o'clock next Sunday afternoon at the Elks theater Impressive as are the ritu- alistic services of the memorial ses- sion, the exercises this year will be unusually fitting, the officers having given more than passing thought to ihc planning of the ceremonies It will be an appropriate exemplification of the motto. "The faults Of our brothers we write upon the sands; their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory"
 In the entire history of the Phoenix lodge of Elks there has never been a previous year with a death rate among its membership so low as that just closing There have been years when more than a score of members have passed away. But this year the Grim Reaper has invaded the ranks of the antlered herd but three times.
 Most impressive will be the manner in which the roll call of the deceased members will be carried out. High above the prosceniSm in an illuminated floral arch Will appear the names of those who passed away during the year Three times the names will be called and when there is no response, a bright star will glow in the arch be- side the name of the absent one, as indicating he has answered the call before the supreme exalted ruler above.
 Mulford Winsor of Yuma, past dis tict deputy grand exalted ruler has been chosen to deliver the eulogy. Tn addition there will be appropriate mu- sic by a symphonyl orchestra, as well as solos by Fred Myers, Jr, of Mesa, and Mrs. Doane Merrill of this city. The officers who will occupy stations during the ceremonies are: II. B. Cas- sidy, exalted ruler A. A. Betts. es- teemed leading knight: Herman Lew kowitz, esteemed loyal knight; Joseph P. Kehoe. esteemed featuring knight; Rev Bertrand R. Cocks. chaplain; A. Guy Alsap, secretary, and Arthur Pickett, esquire.

TO TAKE
 . IN 2O TONIGHT.

Because members of Phoenix lodge, No. 335, B. P. O. Elks feel that they have much to be thankful for at this time and because these members, i'm bued with a thoroughly unselfish spirit have decided to give others cause to also be thankful, a particu- larly fitting and impressive initiation ceremony is planned for this evenings meeting. Those who were taken in" at the last two or three meetings got by" much easier than will the 20 cor ralled for this nights doings. At least that is the word that has gone forth from the augmented degree team with the sanction of Exalted Ruler H. B. Cassidy and the A A. A.
 Of course, the announcement that District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler W. O. Ruggles of Kingman, will pay an official visit to the lodge tonight may have had something to do with the elaborate preparations for the ceremony. Members of the degree team have been busy for several nights rehearsing the parts assigned them and a specially constructed ritual has been brought into service. The only fear expressed is that the exercises will by the very nature of things be prolonged far into the morning follow ing the night before.
 That no deaths from starvation may be recorded against the entertainment committee especially dainty refresh ments are promised. It is understood that plates and knives and fork& tyill not constitute the sole table service And so all loyal Elks are urged to lend dignity to the occasion by being pres ent.

DARROWs SECURES
 COLUMBIA AGENCY.

In keeping With the progressive policy of the company the Bar1ows Furniture company announces that 1t has taken the agency for the Colum- bia line of photographs. This busi- ness was formerly handled by the Mar win Music house which has held the agency for several years. The new agents will carry on the Columoias < business. on mucn more elaborate scale than the former agency did
 Commenting upon the change in the agency Fred Barrows said:
 For some time we have been look ing for phonograph line, and after looking over the entire market we have chosen the Columbia. The Co., lumbia talking machine is the pioneer Of the industry and a machine we will feel proud to sell and guarantee"
 Demonstration rooms are now being built in the Barrows store and $5,000 shipment of graphophones and records is on the way to the new agents The BarroWs Furniture company received a class c contract from the Columbia people, which is a great credit to them and to Phoenix for not very often is any firm in so small a city as Phoenix awarded a class c contract
 As I said, the Columbia is the pio- neer of the industry continued MT. Barrows, and is taking a leading part in producing the finest of machines, and contracting with the best artists in the world to record their ability for Columbia patrons. We expect to have this department ready by Monday and feel confident that the people of this community will become great Colum- bia fans"
 The Columbia Monograph company has recently changed hands and is to- day under the management of one of the largest business firms in the world

Special Matinee at EIks

A special Thanksgiving day matinee will be given at the Elks theater this afternoon by the Ed. Redmond Musical Comedy company presenting the eX- hilerating musical fantasy in two acts, entitled, "Why Grow Old?" This sprightly play is furiously funny and the series of interpolated melodies are all of the whistley variety and evoke repeated encores. Ed. Redmond ap- pears in one of the best characteriza- tions that he has ever portrayed, that of the old professor who conceives the idea of compromising an elixer that will bring perpetual youth. This mod ern Ponce De Leon for a time believes that he is successful and the myriad of extremely funny complications that serve to bewilder him combine to make this play real cyclone of merriment.
 "Why Grow Old?" will no doubt draw a record house at the matinee performance this afternoon, especially so as it is a holiday and moreover as the Redmonds will not have a Sun day matinee many of Sunday after noon patrons will change their day to today's performance.
 Comencing Monday night the new play will be "A Thief in the House"

 Perhaps more interest has been evinced in the mile race than in any other. Charles J. Harvey and c. w. Hodges were both winners during the state fair, while Harvie Fly won the Arizona Derby.

 Arizona's four fastest half milers will participate in this event. Several of them had hard luck during the fair and racing enthusiasts will have chance to see them try again today.

 Frank Cavaleer will be asked to act as presiding judge. MT. Cavaleer was speed secretary at the state fair and is believed to be the best qualified for the job. R. J. Shultz is promoting the events and Sid Harris will act as starter.
 MT. Shultz and Mir. Harris declare they will put on races here during Christmas time, providing the proper support is given the program offered this afternoon.

THREE FIRMS IN
 MUSIC MERGED

Resolving itself finally into the formation of the Kerr and Smalley Music company. the transaction which has resulted in the consolida- tion of three Phoenix leading music stores bids fair to ultimately develop an organization which will eclipse in scope any business enterprise of similar character in the state.
 The deal had it's inception in the purchase by O. H. Kerr of the in- terests of his partner, George E. Stokes, in the Stokes-Kerr Piano company. At this juncture of the proceedings, MT. Kerr formed a part

nershlp with H. l.. Smalley, former New York architect, and an accom- plished pianist
 Thls was followed by the purchase by MT. Kerr and MT. Smalley of the Marvin Music house from Russel Marvin, who is leaving Arizona on account of his health. The next phase or the transaction was the purchase of the piano stock of c. I. Webber and Son. c. T. Webber went to California and his son Claude is now at Camp Funston, Kansas, having been drafted.
 The old home of the Marvin Mu- SIC house will be occupied by the new concern, but improvements and innovations will be introduced which will entirely change the appearance of the place. The store will be com pletely remodeled. New windows will be constructed, on a level with the floor so as to aid in the display Of the extensive stock to be carried, While MT. Smalley has some indi- Vidual and original ideas which will be carried out in the decoration of the interior. After the rejuvenation has been effected, the new company promises the people will feel at ease to enter the store at Washington and Second avenue, with the as surance that they will be well re- ceived and entertained.
 We wish to have people feel that they may enter our place of business and try out for themselves the brand new musical hits we will always have on hand" says MT. Kerr.
 | MT. Smalley, before coming to Arizona about two years ago, was connected with the business of Charles A. Platt, noted New York architect. After coming to this part of the country MT. Smalley's ser vices were immediately obtained in the work of drawing plans for ana designing the Bishops house in con- nection with the Cathedral. MT Smalley is well equipped to enter the business of selling musical in- struments and supplies through his comprehensive musical knowledge and ability as piano player.
 Mir. Kerr has been in Arizona fol the past year, having come here from Butte, Montana. Prior to that he lived in Oklahoma City. During his residence in Arizona he has handled the entire state business for the concern in which he was a partner
 We expect to maintain our coun- | try business" says MT. Kerr, be cause we consider it perhaps thS most valuable division of our trade We will handle the biggest stocK in the state and will be prepared to give the people of Arizona a ser vice they have hitherto not enjoyed I This will include a full and up-to- date line of sheet music, Pathe ant Kimball, victrolas and records, be. sides 25 different makes of pianos

Douglas Fairbanks at Lamara

Living in the open with plenty of sunshine and fresh air instead of be- ing cramped up in a poorly ventilated home is what Douglas Fairbanks breaches in his latest Aircraft film, Down to Earth" which is being shown for the last times today at the Lamara. He is seen as a young man, virle. bubbling over with health and enthusiasm, who is engaged to a 'hOt house plant" in the person of a society girl whose love for bridge parties and society events overshadows everything in her life. When her health finally breaks she goes to a health resort and there is thrown in with all sorts of "invalids'' whose pessimism forestalls all efforts to bring them back to health. There is the lady who weighs 25O pounds who is worried about her frail health. There is the lady who can never read an almanac without be- ing at once attacked with all the symp- toms printed in the book. Then there is the man whose daily diet consists principally of pills and also the party who is trying to recover from the ID.

Mary Pickford at the Empress

"America's sweetheart" what a won- derful title, and yet what better one would befit the charming Mary Pick ford who comes to the Empress today to appear in a three days engagement, starring in The Poor Little Rich Girl" When the picture played the city few months ago, record breaking crowds were on hand at each performance and many were unable to witness this charming story of childhood, presented by the little lady whose studies of childhood life have been a revelation to screen followers. There has been an insistent demand that this picture
 be brought back to the city, and it is in direct compliance with this demand
 that a return showing was secured and
 and this engagement announced. The story is well known throughout the
 nation, it having been a remarkable
 seller when first presented in book form. It tells of the trials of a poor little rich girl" whose parents are too busily engaged in the mad rush for | gold on the fathers side and for social supremacy on the mothers side. The
 poor little rich girl'' is reared amid a l retinue of servants and what little
 pleasures she knows she has to take | advantage of as a thief in the night l She craves mother love and the com panionship of childhood friends but l these are denied her.
