MORE WHEAT IN 1913, SLOGAN
 0F IMP0RTANT T MEETING TO-DAY
Prominent Farmers A[lers and Civic and State Leaders
 Will Meet Today to Consider Ways and Means to Better Standard Crop in State; Price Question May Come Up As Incident of Important Gathering this Afternoon

Meeting for the purpose of preparing for a greater wheat crop in 1918 for Arizona and also to consider price mat ters in connection with the handling of this staff of life" there will be a gathering at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the rooms of the State Council of De- teuse. which will be of great import snce to every resident in the state. It will be a meeting of prominent farm CTS, millers, seed producers and others interested in the production and the use of wheat.
 When it is realized that Arizona is now producing but little more than half the amount of wheat consumed in the state the importance of increasing this production so that this state may be ait least self-supporting is at once apparent Work along these lines done recently by the Federal Food adminis- trator and the State Council of Defense has already produced the pledge that there will be 200 more acres in wheat next time than this. This is land which has never produced wheat before and thc acreage pledged lies in Pima, Pinal, santa Cruz Cochise and adjoining counties
 It is desired to greatly increase the wheat acreage in this section and it is pointed out that the farmer who will set aside a small acreage for wheat is doing a very real service to the cause of the nation He might make more money on another crop but the wheat acreage will be his bit towards the winning of the war
 Among those who will be in confer euce today with Food Administrator T. A. Riordan, Chairman Dwight B. Heard of the State Council of Defense and others in attendance will be, Leo Goldschmidt, president of the Eagle Milling company; Prof E. r. Taylor and F W. Taylor of Tucson, repre- sentatives of the Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix flour mills and of the Phoe- nix and Arizona Seed companies; Mons EBjngson. a Tempe grain merchant; John Orme, president of the Salt River Water Users association; John T. Conduit of the Southwest Cotton com pany. pr. J. C. Norton, Fred Tait E. E. Jack of Phoenix, C. c, Green of Glen dale. John Anderson of Mesa, Dr. A. J. Chandler of Chandler J. R. Treat of Florence J. II. Collins of Phoenix The last named is a federal marketing eX- pert stationed here, and W. A. Barr county agricultural agent
 The situation is explained by George IT, Smalley, executive secretary of the food administration, as follows:
 "The total acreage this year in wheat in Arizona was 30,127, according to the crop survey of the council of defense and the total normal consumption of wheat in this state. less ten per cent amounts to l,7l1000 bushels. Seed re-

quirement will amount to 5000 bush els, making the total requirement l. 770,000 bushels of wheat from Arizona fields if we are to raise the amount required for our own needs. This wiE require 20,445 more acres devoted to wheat in Arizona, at an average of 35 bushels to the acre.
 Under normal conditions the per capita consumption of wheat in the United States for food amounts to 5.3 bushels. Last year it was ten per cent less and it will probably be that much less this year Through wheatless days We are hoping that it will be much less than ten per cent. The population of Arizona as given us by the census bureau of the government is 264, 900, and the statistical department charges us with per capita consumption of 1.2 bushles, which we think is too high. However, we do not deny that we are wheat slackers and that we must do our bit in this plan of the government to have us raise at least what wheat we need for our oFn people. If we do not do this t IS possible that the gov ernnIent will step in next year and tell us that we can have only such flour as our wheat production affords"

Recommending the establishment ol

Recommending the establishment or a day nursery, Miss c. M. Gilchrist, in presenting her annual report to the board of directors yesterday, urged the measure as suit able beginning to the solution of the problems with which she has to deal.
 "The work of the Charities has be- come more intensive, but has not broadened," she declared. While the Charities extends a hearty welcome to the Anti ti-Tuberculosis League and the Red Cross, and pledges it's as sistance as colaborer with the one and institutional member of the other still its own work is confined in too narrow limits. The rehabilitation of the family, the provision of legal aid, finding employment and opportunity for the aged and the handicapped as sisting the home me-finding for children, serving on the Child Welfare board all these matters must be dealt with | in a more or less haphaZard way. There is no emergency hospital, no | retreat for the aged or infirm, no visiting nurse, no travellers aid, no day nursery. In fact, these emergen- cies must be met by merely dealing with the individual case, new re- source for each case, brain racking, | maddening situation.
 Ten years ago, tuberculosis was the cause of fully S5 per cent of the applications for aid received by the Associated Charities Five years ago, the percentage had diminished to about 65 per cent. Today, about 1 43 per cent of the applicants are tu- | berculosis. Tuberculosis is however. 1 tTih h1rto If lor percentage, but directly, the number of cases is gradually yielding in pro- | portion.
 Also, ten years ago, so per cent of applicants for aid were wanderers or health-seeking strangers, merely individuals. Today more than third, or 33 1-3 per cent are families.
 Thus the problem of the family is | in the ascendency, a problem in
 volving five times the thought and
 time demanded by the problem of the
 mere individual. Thus, each year
 witnesses a change in the scope o1 i charity work.
 l "The past twelve months has been marked by advance in cooperation of
 other forces, both of individual friends
 and other organizations. Volunteer 1 help has almost doubled, as demands
 on the small office force have in
 creased"
 Miss Gilchrist named the differ. ent organizations that had contributed to the charities and the men and women who had co-operated by com
 mittee work and donations. The Fri
 day club and the Riverside park entertainment were the largest con-
 tributors last season.

Broadway -Arizona"

Her manager demanded publicity. The show lived on publicity, and what would become of the show if Fritzi's name were allowed to leave the lips or minds, of New Yorks amusement loving public It was up to the press agent to get busy. beef baron of Broadway, Arizona, good-looking, well-known to an envi- ous East, and susceptible to the lure of adventure. He didn't miss seeing Fritzi from his box seat.
 Reyes became infatuated. Fritzi played her game so well that his proposal was accepted without delay, and the story was rushed to the newspapers. Imagine his surprise and humiliation when later papers car ried her denial of the engagement. He had been exploited for the sake of increasing box office receipts!
 She laughed when he prophesied that she would want him some day, for didn't she have everything Broad way offered? Not everything. Soon her health failed, and the doctor ordered a change.
 Fritzi was confined to her bed, but health or no health, she wasn't in terested in any Broadway except the backbone of New York" She was frankly annoyed. So Reyes and Uncle Isaac, disguised as hospital in- ternes drove up to her hotel and took her to Arizona.
 What next happened will be shown at the Columbia today.

Emily Stevens at Emnress-

A thrilling fight under water is a feature of "A Sleeping Memory" by E. Phillips Oppenheim, in which Emily Stevens is appearing for the final showings today. A specially con structed glass room was sunk in the large swimming pool at a noted beach resort in New Jersey in which the cameraman was stationed. The men who engage in the struggle are Mario MaJeroni and Walter Horton. Horton in the attempt to protect the girl (Emily Stevens), from the hypnotic power of Majeroni, is called upon to engage him in a fistic encounter. This takes place on the edge of cliff. During the struggle the men roll off into the lake. and sink under the wa ter. At this juncture the cameraman gets 'on the job" and while the strug- gle progresses with undiminished yio- fence under the water the camera is making a faithful chronicle of the scene which is produced in it's entire ty during the play.
 The entire drama is a blending of romance and mystery and depicts the Journey of soul through all the ages of the worlds history from the time of the Vikings down to the present day, passing through the period of Catherine de Medici and the days of the Salem witchcraft with all the at mosphere carefully preserved during the swiftly changing series or events
 The Christie comedy being shown on the same program is a very enjoy able addition.

Tomorrow is the opening day for D. w. Griffith's latest spectacle, Tn tolerance" the attraction for three days at the Columbia theater.
 Nothing comparable to this produc- tlon in size, novelty and entertaining qualities ever has been shown upon any stage, 1t is said. Amazing magni- tude and even more amazing detail. a revolutionary method of presenting Tour stories almost simultaneously, and the most gigantic settings ever erected for theatrical production, are some of the most impressive features of this spectacle So interesting and i'm portant is it's theme, loves struggle throughout the ages, that prominent newspapers throughout the country have discussed it and praised 1t edi- torially.
 Six months at the Liberty Theater, New York, and long runs in Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los An geles and Pittsburg, testify to the popularity of this new creation. large orchestra of Phoenix best musician ms has been rehearsing for two weeks and one may expect the best music proper ly rendered for this production.

Matinee Today at EIks.

A matinee performance at the Elks theater will be given this afternoon by the Ed. Redmond Comedy compa- ny. The exhilerating musical fantasy, Why Grow Old" has created wide favor for the play is without doubt one of the funniest stage productions the Redmonds have yet given.
 The discovery of an exiler that will bring to all perpetual youth forms the basis of this funny play and the sit nations that are evolved are humor- ous in the extreme.
 The musical interpolations are of es- pecial value, each song being well rendered, lavishly costumed and en- hanced with novelty effects.
 Ed. Redmond has the star comedy role that of the professor who thinks he has discovered the formula that will bring youth to all and Myrtle Ding wall, Joe Kemper, Marvin Hammond, Minor Reed, Robbie Deane, Billy Coch- ran, Mae McRae, Eddie Mitchell and the bevy of dancing maidens, all give excellent support.
 In addition to the matinee today an- other will be given tomorrow after noon, Thanksgiving day.

Alice Joyce at The Hip

Alice Joyce and Marc MacDermott are finishing today an engagement of two days at the Hip in a Vita graph drama, An Alabaster Box" It is a strong gripping story of man who built up a great thriving center with his brains and his money only to speculate and get into @ bad way and served a term in prison. The devotion of his daughter and his re- turn to be snubbed and mistreated by the very people whom he be- friended, is the pith of the yarn told in true Vitagraph fashion.
 Tomorrow Franklin Farnum comes in a smart comedy drama of the west, Anything Once" It is said to be the fastest moving picture ever filmed and that is going some.

Fairbanks Scores at Lamara.

Douglas Fairbanks, appearing in his latest Aircraft picture Down to Earth" enters the second day of his engagement at the Lamara today with the full assurance that he will dup licate the tremendous success with which the initial showings met yes terday. Never was this versatile, en- ergetic young man seen in a picture that strikes a more universally re- sponsive chord than this one.
 The popular Fairbanks is seen as a typical young American whose wan derlust" and desire to live close to nature does not find favor with his fiancee. who is a society bud. His invitation that she accompany him on Q trip to the Alps meets with a flat refusal and the assurance that she would not give up her first season" for all the nature trips" ever undertaken. He returns in time to receive an in- vitation to the wedding of his former fiancee. to an old rival of his. When he receives this invitation he is con- templating a trip to China, and it is

Roosevelt District Meeting
 Goes on Record Strongly Back of Movement for County Road Bond Issue

The always wide awake and pro- gressive Roosevelt district placed itself squareIy on record last evening, at a largely attended meeting at the Neigh borhood House, for a modern system of permanent highways
 After the committee in charge of the report ~n plans for special road dis trict had reported, Dwight B. Heard was asked to explain the plans under way for county bond issue for good roads. After MT. Heard's remarks, which showed that the meeting at the Neighborhood House a week ago had galvanized the good roads movement with vigorous life, and that with the slightest possible delay the proper peti- tions would be circulated throughout the county for the prompt appoint ment of board of five highway com missioners a motion was made that the meeting get squarely behind this good roads movement and the follow ing resolution was, with a ringing vote, unanimously adopted:
 The taxpayers of the Roosevelt dis trict, in meeting assembled on Novem- Der 2, 1917, strongly endorced the prac- tical movement now started for coun- ty bond issue for a system of good roads for Maricopa county and pledged to the committee in charge of the work their vigorous support"
 During the discussion the position of 1 homesteaders owning productive farms but as yet paying no taxes, was brought up and several homesteaders present pledged themselves and their neighbors to take such steps to obtain patents | as would place them in a position to

bear the same share of the cost of good roads construction as their neighbors owning patented land. This action of the homesteaders was vigorously ap plauded and MT. Heard called attention to the fact that in the construction of the Central avenue bridge the same fine public spirit was shown by the homesteaders in contributing towards the cost of the great bridge which was the first to unite the north and south sides of the river.
