Morosco Star Is Brilliant Sue cess in Latest Release "The
 International Marriage

! "The International Marriage. fea- turing Rita Jolivet. which appears at the Royal today. is as follows:
 Bennington Brent, the laundry king uses the phrases of the trade to 1 shrewdly express his observations. His beautiful daughter, Florence Brent. being of another generation, re- fleets the finish or as Brent expresses it, the satin gloss" of wealth and elegance.
 Congressman John Oglesby, her chum from childhood. is a handsome young statesman and a prominent member of the National Assembly. Florence visits her chum. Eleanor Williamson, who lives in Washington, and meets Eleanor's fance, Count Krinburg.
 The Duke of Buritz. fellow coun- tryman of the Count, endeavors to cor rupt Oglesby for international political reasons But he fails in his estimate of the man.
 The Duke. who is the ambassador from his country at the American cap itol is introduced to Florence by the Count. on whom she has made a great impression. The effectiveness of the Count to Florence leads to the break ing of her engagement by Eleanor Williamson, but having inherited an estate. the Count feels independent of international marriages.
 The blase attitude of the Duke is changed to deep and sudden interest by Florence's beauty and charm. Flor ence Brent in turn is dazzled by this foreign nobleman of Royal blood.
 The Duke is so entranced that he proposes to and is accepted by Flor ence. He departs for his country to arrange for the wedding He meets with the opposition of his family but prevails upon them to invite Florence to Buritz
 Because of his love for Florence. John Oglesby accedes to her fathers request and goes abroad with the Brents.
 The Duke is playing a desperate game to overcome the obstacles in the way of his marriage to Florence and as plan after plan fails be forces Florence into tangled situation.
 The subtle deception of the Duke and Count is discovered and shown up by Oglesby. who solves the seemingly impossible tangle in masterly way.

FILM IS
 WRICHT'S BOOK THE EYES OF THE WORLD"
Noted California Authors Story Has Been Filmed and Will Appear in Bisbee, Be- ginning on January II.

Two or three years ago ITaIold Bell Wright, the most popular of liv- ing writers. whose eight rOmances in- cluding "The Shepherd of the Hills. The Winning of Barbara Worth. etc. have had total sale of nearly eight million copies. added to his gal axy of best sellers The Eyes Of the i World.
 This story of adventure and romance in the cities and mountains of South ern California has been put into elabOr- ate pictorial form for the theatre by the Clune Film Producing company. and the announcement is made that the production will be shown in this city at the Orpheum theatre on Jan. II, F and 13.
 For six months past the entire re- sources of the great Clune Studio in Los Angeles have been concentrated on the elaborate filming of W-ight's story. It is promised for this work that it is the finest translation of a current popular romance ever prepar- ed for the screen. IL is in ten sec tions and consumes an entire after noon Or evening in its showing. The scenario for the work was prepared by the noted author himself, who also gave his personal assistance to the day-by-day work of interpreting his characters for the production.
 Wright's novel contains much of the material out of which successful mo- tion pictures are made and it is pro missed that the photographs which form the background of the film yer sion compose a magnificent panorama of the outdoor glories of Southern California.
 Among the well remembered people of the story are Willard, the convict; Oakley. the forest ranger; Sybil. the mountain girl: Mrs. Taine, the fashion able siren. who attempts to snare the artist, King; MT. Taine, the wealthy roue; Rutlidge. the bull-necked art critic; Myra Willard, the scared vic tim of the vitriol thrower, and Le- grange. the cynical author-friend of the artist.
 "The eyes of the World" has an elaborate musical score.

 Among the most important pieces of equipment shown in operation during the play is the trench periscope. This novel and highly valuable apparatus is first seen on the screen when the ac- tion of the story moves Into the trenches and dugouts. where Warner as William Berner, is fulfilling his du- ties as a spy. The instrument is shown in use by an officer and then is more clearly explained by a view of

 Another interesting phase of modern war methods is offered in the depletion of the uses of the heliograph, by which messages are transmitted by the rays of the sun. This repeatedly is brought into play in the many successive scenes which show Warner at the window of a chateau exchanging queries and re- away.

Cochise For Good Roads

Cochise county has voted for good roads. It has authorized bond issue of a million dollars for that purpose. The expression of the people was decsively given The vote stood almost to l in favor of the bond issue In Bisbee precinct the vote was more than 10 to 1, though curiously, in Douglas it was little more than to l. For reason difficult to fathom Wilcox negatived the bond issue by vote of So to 14 and Bowie cast 97 against the bonds and none in their favor.
 But for the fact that Benson, Cochise and other precincts the northern part of the cast good ma ores in favor of the bonds it might be supposed that the north feared that the money going to be all spent in the south But generally the outlying precincts expected receive benefit from the bonds for in nearly all of them heavy majorities were cast
 This money it is understood is to be spent fU permanent good roads including twenty-five miles of ashaltum highways As little possible is to be expended on makeshift roads
 Of course at present under the order of the priority board materials for permanent good roads are not available but no believes that the em- bargo against theI@ =fll be maintained longer than next spring There s good deal to be done between the authorization bonds and the availability of their proceeds Cochise county is employing the time in which it can do nothing else. in getting running start for road building the embargo is lifted Thus no time is wasted.

country than had been made since men plowed the soil with crooked stick. is little wonder then that the country agent encountered cool reception from the men who had rejected the advice of the agricultural colleges. book farming" It was not to unmoor themselves from the methods of their fathers their fathers fathers who had learned in the school of experience"
 But at last scientific farming made headway and it's progress is being made in a geometrical ratio The old fashioned farmer is becoming so scarce that he is beginning to be regarded as a relic an antique joke.
 But the county agent is not yet universally ac- cepted though he is coming and into favor and new testimony as to his usefulness is being of fered The latest is from Secretary Houston of the Department of Agriculture who said a week ago.
 The country agent system, as developed by the Federal Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the state agricultural colleges has demonstrated its great usefulness as means of promoting the full development of the agricultural resources of the country.
 Working in intimate and sympathetic relation with the rural people the county agent is able to secure the application of scientific knowledge and discoveries to the business of the farmer and the home life of the country people In the present he has been ready to meet the emergency and to centrate all rural forces and organizations in work ing out the great problems of food production and food conservation. In recognition of his value
 
 mediate extension of this system every agricultural county in the United States. State and county Coun cils of Defense and all rural organza tions can do patriotic public service by assisting the government and the state in accomplishing this end.
 In the same mail that brought the foregoing tes- timonial from MT Houston we found the following from the Farm News Service of Columbia Mis- souri:
 Here is just item to be added to the growing list of things which Missouri is doing to help win the The emergency county agent is a part proposed of encouraging production As the movement was started in Missouri, coun- ties began organization plans. Up to date Mississippi Lincoln, Linz. Adair. Sullivan, Worth, Livingston. Dunkin, Stoddard, Polk, and Cass counties have completed farm bureau organizations and have either employed or are planning to employ agricultural agent
 The work which done in Cass county is an example of what can be accomplished by organized club of farmers. In a campaign of two weeks these farmers, who assisted by F. A. Ikenberry, agent for Jackson county, obtained farm bureau member ship of 735. The membership fee was $100. In ad- dition to this farmers committee obtained from the banks of the county s400. This money will be used for paying the expenses of the farm bureau during the coming year.
 Forty-five counties have applied for organization work. The eleven counties which have recently pleted organization together with the ola county agent counties make total of p counties which in the work. Polk, Dunklin, Marion and Atchson counties have completed organization for women's work.

"The Truth of the Matter"

Under the foregoing head the London Observer deals with the its present stage or at the snge presented November IS. All sentimentasm was cast aside. The Observer did not doubt as no Eng lishman or American does that the will eventually be won by the allies. It must be Civilization cannot permit any other outcome. The Observers hope rested On a change of the methods which the allies had so far adopted, and which had resulted only in disaster It therefore done with fine, high sounding talk about superior and bray cry about the loss of German morale the distress of Germany.
 The Observer which is a firm supporter of David Lloyd George preparing for the attack which to be made in parliament the following day the recently delivered Paris speech of the premier which he himself had characterized "brutally frank"
 Said the Observer: 'Frankness is what is wanted more than finesse We stand the parting of the ways and must have leader to show the right, and not the wrong way the way to honor able victory and not the way to German peace"
 The Observer then offered this synopsis of the Paris speech:
 And what did the prime minister say at Paris? He said this: We are in the fourth year of the war; after all the despete fighting which has taken place the enemy still holds the field. arroganty, triumph any. confidently We say that his strength is weak eninS and his moral waning It may be so, but there is nothing to show that it is In the west he is firmly based his Rhine frontier, while in northern France he holds all the approaches through Belgium to Germany down the Schedt the Scarpe the Sambre- and the Mouse. We Hindenburg's line, but it Is unbroken We say have beaten him in Flanders and have in battle after another; but he is still at Antwerp. Belgium and Luxemburg lie under the cOnquerors heel Holland is trembling for her life And now Italy has been invaded, and would he in danger of being did not British and French troops arrive in time to her.
 Turn to the east, and there is worse story to tell. Russia has been seized with paralysis. and for the moment at any rate longer counts. Serbia has been wiped out of the map of Europe, and has Montenegro. Roum9nia has been split into two, and the and oil of Wallachia delivered into the hands of the Huns. The mighty waterway of the Danube is controlled by the enemy from it's in the Black Forest to it's mouth in the Black Sea. German garrison holds Consantinople in it's grip. snd with the exception of gallant little Greece whole of the Balkan Peninsula has come under Ger man domination. If the to end tomorrow, which it is not going to do. and the Kaiser get the peace he wants, his dream of hegemony in Europe would be accomplished fact.
 There must of course, be optimism there will be apathy or despair, and there should be no pes simism but too great optimism, optimism without basis of accomplishment a consciousness of strength not yet exercised, but capable of being exercised is foolish, blinding and may be fatal
