In four days. the first of this coun tTy's contribution to the national army will leave Phoenix. Perhaps there are among the thirty some whom readers of The Republican wish to encourage by becoming Sammy Backers" for them. Under the plan proposed 1t was expected every Sammy Backer' should have first his preference of soldier with whom he would com municate and if no such preference is Signified, soldiers would be assigned to the Sammy Backers.
 The following have filled out The Republican coupons, some of them un der the head of remarks" designating the sammy whom they desire to back:
 H. R. Christie. Box 475, Hayden, Ariz.
 Walter W. Shelley, 733 West Grant street, Phoenix.
 | K Mccarthy, Florence, Ariz.
 G. C. Irons. Buckeye, Ariz.
 Eugene D. Goldman, ell North Gen. ter street, Phoenix.
 George F. Short, 140 West Adams T. R. Yates, 140 West Adams
 R. D. o. Johnson, 1419 North Third street.
  C. R. Broadhead Route ?, Phoenix. W. A. Moody. Thatcher Ariz
 MT Christie desires to adopt as his sammy. Lee C. Bracket, 18th In fantry. Company K, '. S. A. already in Paris.
 MT Broadhead expresses a prefer ence for J. K Stacey of the quarter masters department, stationed at Naco but he says will take on any one you say
 Mr. Irons says, AS I am a scout master here as well as teacher of a boys class in Sunday school, l would prefer a sammy under 23 years of age"
 Says MT. Mccarthy, q wish I could stand in the ranks and right side by' side with our Sammies."
 In the opinion of MT. Short, This is dandy plan"
 Are you one of those men who would like to be a Sammy Backer' and think it is a great movement but don't know how to get about it?
 Perhaps you are not much of a let ter writer; most of us are not. But are you? Good. you are just the man we want.
 Sammy doesn't want any of the flowery stuff about the "balmy breezes'' and the calm and placid lake" He wants some real stuff-just as you would tell it to him.
 There are a thousand things Sammy wants to know that you can tell him. He wants to know how the people at his home somewhere in Arizona are getting along, who's dead and who's married. Some Sammy will want to know about the crops, about politics, who's going to be governor and who is running for the various offices. An other sammy will want to know about various enterprises in which he may have the interest only of citizen. All this the Sammy Backer" can furnish him by letter and by sending him pa pers And, more than all he'll want to know that there is somebody at home he car depend upon and who has

 TOWN SAYS BEV|LLE
TEMPE OFFICE Brown Mercantile Company Phone 71

MESA. Sept. 3.-Mayor Beville for the past week has been urging upon the property owners of Mesa a clean up campaign. He calls attention to the growth of weeds and sunflowers in front of premises and insists that Mesa can be made a most attractive little city if every citizen will take an interest.
 The irrigation ditches running on every street and on both sides of most streets, render the work of keeping the highways clean, a very considerable ob for the city. The water running in these ditches causes an abundant growth of vegetation in the way of Johnson grass and weeds. The mayor promises that insofar as the funds of the town will permit, the council will use them to do the city's part. Using the local paper, MT. Beville has urged the people to make the town neat and attractive, but thus far there has been little or nothing done by property hold CTS. The mayor offers his services free in the directing of any workers who may be employed by any citizen, ask ing only that the bill for labor be paid by the individual owner

 The Stacker is worth while and the beauty of the offerings, there is not a suggestion of war except the fact that the Stacker is just what his name implies.

valeska Suratt at t-,e Lamara

Lovers of the silent drama who at
 tended the Lamara theater last night
 had the opportunity to see Valeska Su-
 ratt do characteristically fine bit of
 work in an intensely gripping produc-
 tion. William FoAs Wife Number Two
 Miss Suratt does very unusual and
 daring act in this photodrama For an actress whose name has become a i.synonym throughout the world for bril- liant. and beautiful gowns it is just short of brave to come out in pro- duction in an ordinary garden variety gingham dress. But it proves to be the
 best thing Miss Suratt ever did. II shows that her beauty is not dependent on beautiful gowns Miss Suratt looks as pretty and attractive in that glng- ham dress and bonnet as he does in the
 dazzling creations which ave caused so
 much comment in other photoplays. The story of Wife Number Two is sure to interest every spectator 1t tells of a young girl who marries on her fathers advice a man twice her age. 1 Of course unhappiness is her reward. It will not be fair to give away the story. It is worth seeing.
 i William Nigh, director of The Blue | Streak" and "The Slave" was the di-
 rectorial genius behind Wife Number 1 Two" His subtle touch is seen in many | places.
 Eric Mayne plays opposite Miss Su-
 ratt.
 As an added feature, Fatty Arbuckle will be seen in his latest Paramount i comedy, His Wedding Night" which 1 is a sure cure for the blues.

pouqIas Fairbanks at the Empress

Today for the last time the Empress will show Wild and Woody with the worlds most popular star, Douglas Fairbanks.
 With the wide, open plains and roll ing hills of the West as the unlimited stage space in which to display his own particular talents, the energetic Doug las Fairbanks appears at his best In Wild and Woolly," his nnw Aircraft Picture. As result of many months training, for it was just that, the ath- letic Douglas presents in this photo play. a remarkable display of cowboy accomplishments depicted in his own rib tickling style.
 Starting in New York and ending in California, Wild and Woody discloses many humorous as well as thrilling ex- periences of Jeff Ellington, youth or metropolitan birth, who finally realizes his ambition to ride the plains or the West astride a bucking broncho. Jeff s visions of life on the plains are based entirely upon the gaudy covers of ten cent weeklies and are the result of dili- gent research work among pages or this hair raising literature His west ern friends accordingly endeavor to live up to his expectations and Tn dolng so are themselves given many surprises. In a rapid fire theme bubbling over with laughter, Douglas presents char acterizaton in the land of bucklng bronchos and bow-legged citizens, that has been branded as the greatest mirth provoker of the year.
 New athletic offerings of mos' thrilling nature are evinced by the smil- ing hero of this farce. in his usual org inal manner. Prepared for the screen by Anita Loos and staged under tht direction of John Emerson, Wild and Woollv" offers a new Fairbanks ve- hicle that easily Surpasses even the most notable of past efforts.
 Tomorrow Americas sweetheart. Mary Pickford will be seen in one of
 her greatest successes. "Hulda from Holland" A two reel Fox film comedy will also be shown.
