RUDOLPH CALENDAR
 BEAUTIFULLY DUNE

An art picture of striking beauty, one including a great deal of hand work, is attracting more than usual at tention. It has been issued by Edward Rudolph of the Ford Motor agency of Phoenix. Some months ago Mr. Ru- dolph arranged for a holiday surprise for each of all the purchasers of Ford cars during the past year, and has an nounced that he is holding a copy of this art picture, which is entitled Loves Token" subject to the call Of each one for which it was reserved. The seasons greeting, together with 8 beautiful snow scene. and the name of Edward Rudolph, appears in steel en- graving on an insert slip. The picture itself is delicately tinted and is of a beautiful woman admiring a bunch of lilies of the valley. The picture itself is mounted on art board and doubtless many will have the picture in a glass frame.

ernment measures would before long bring about some degree of relief. Meanwhile, rural offerings continued light and pit transactions kept within holiday bounds.
 Oats although fairly active, went to the highest price recorded yet this sea- son. The impetus came largely from reports of sales to the seaboard. De- cember delivery made the sharpest up- turn and as a precaution against a possible year-end squeeze on Monday. the exchange directors this afternoon gave notice that no December dealings would be allowed at any figure exceed ing five cents above the current price of the May option.

MILITARY SALUTE
 STORIES OF ORIGIN

The University of Arizona Milf tary department has had called 10 it's attention by recent publication supposed origin of the military salute.
 The navy soldiers say that the salute
 originated in the days of the tourna-
 ment, at which a queen of beauty
 was chosen to preside. The knights and their esquires and all who took
 part in the tourney, on presenting
 themselves to the queen, lifted each
 one hand level with the brows as
 though dazzled by the light of her
 presence. Although it's significance has been forgotten, that same salute
 is now used by military men in rec
 OgnitiOh of a superior rank, the ma
 rine officers say.
 The authentic origin as given by the war department is considerably different, and is as follows:
 In the old days the free men of Europe were all allowed to carry weapons, and when they met each
 would hold up his right hand to show that they met as frieLds. Slaves or serfs, however, were not allowed to carry weapons and slunk past a free man without making any sign. In this way, the salute came to be the symbol or sign by which the sol
 aires (free mem might recognize each other. The lower classes began to initiate the soldiers in this re-
 spect, although in 8 clumsy, apolo-
 getic way, aId thence crept into civil life the custom of raising the hand,
 or nodding as one passed an ac- quaintance. The soldiers, however,
 kept their individual salute, and pur-
 posely made it intricate and difficult to learn in order that it could be ac- quired only by the constant training all soldiers receive. To this day armies have preserved their salute, and when correctly done it is at
 once recognized and never mistaken i for that of a civilian.

TO MY DEAR MOTHER

My mother! when they told me you were dead, And to your bier this wayward boy they led, Could you, kind mother see, within his breast, The palpitating heart, the heaving chest; The tears which welled. the palsied brain As gazing on thee.-loving soul grief every thought became? My mother. cen as child, chill lonli- ness did grasp, And darkened every hope,-I felt that the last prop of my soul Had left me, unforgiven, and boyish sins kept rising as of leaven: Well, now l know, dear soul, you felt not so, Recalling, in your life, thy prayerful woe;- I've watched thee, frequent, shoulder causfu wrath As thoughtlessly l thorned thy rough

 and unplanned, Could I but make amends, I'd forfeit
 earthly ban. My mother! during life when giving

 deep contfition stood before thee, in apparent sor-
 row, While in my mind were tricks to play

 grief doth my thought impart. My mother! when thy form we laid tc
 rest How well now recall the cruel test The shroud, the shrine, the consecrated
 cross, The pail the prayers, the suppliant eye
 the loss,- They filled not void, felt despair thru heart and bone l When walking from thy cold corpse helpless, motherless, alone. My mother l never had a father:

 why do l not forget? Accursed word, would you these tear

 tranquil, peaceful hours To commune with thee; mo sickenin

 thee shares Bliss, rest and heaven, thru inter course with thee:- Oppression, toll or woe, all are dis pelled; l now am free. My mother, 'tis a cruel world whic

COMEDIAN MOORE AT THE DREAM IQNIGHI

There is going to be some good laughing at the Dream for the remain der of this week for Victor Moore, the inimitable comedian of the American stage and screen will be the big noise The press herald has the following to say about this production:
 To be a circus clown was the boy hood ambition of Victor Moore, the pop ular Lasky comedian. and when a small boy he ran away from home and joined a circus. and for the gigantic sum of five dollars per week and board was permitted to wear the clown uniform in the parade in the morning and sell peanuts to the audiences in the after noon. Mir. Moores circus career lasted for three weeks when his father finally located him and after a brief wood- shed conference. drove all desire for circus life out of the young mans head But his ambition is realized now, and he will be seen in the Jesse L. Lasky production of the thrilling photodrama. 'The Clown written es- pecially for him by Marian Fairfax and produced for the Paramount pro- gram under the personal direction of William c. DeMilIe. This story of the saw-dust circle is said to be superior to even his immortal "Chimmie Fad den'' pictures. The Lasky company has surrounded him with a cast of un- usual excellence. including Thomas Meighan. Florence Dagmar. Ernest Joy. Little Billy Jacobs. Gerald Ward ard others.
