prietors of the rooming houses and smaller hotels to furnish him with a list of persons connected herewith that he may make a check with the list of bond buyers and find out just where every person stands. Cards will be furnished the proprietors for this purpose. Five assistants will aid MT. Proctor in this work of checking up the rooming houses and smaller hotels in the Liberty loan drive.
 Thus far, the court house and city hall have been thoroughly canvassed in this Liberty loan drive, according to MT Proctor. More than 100 subscrip- tions were secured from employees at the city hall on Saturday. This amounted to $6,4O0. Enough subscrip- tions have been secured at the city hall from officials previously reported to bring up the total at that place to more than $10,000.
 ' A full check has not been made at the court house, but the total to date
 is more than $3,O00 from the employees.
 Several have subscribed at. other
 places which have not been Checked
 up. She state house is 60 per cent subscribed to date, Mir. Proctor states. Reports from the larger hotels state that subscriptions to the Liberty loan a1o slow. At the Commercial hotel on Friday more than S1.000 was secured, and $500 at the Jefferson on the same day. It. has been learned that 75 per cent of the help at the larger hotels
 are transients. They stay but a week
 or two, it is stated. However, they are keeping up well with the Thrift stamp 1 plan.

ANNUAL PICNIC IF
 ILLINOIS SOCIETY

 Grant and Logan and our tears
 Illinois"
 The anniversary of the birth of Gen eraI U. s. Grant has been chosen py the board of directors of the Illinois society for holding their annual picnic and reunion at Riverside park on April 27. The Illinois picnic IS eagerly anticipated by former residents, and many will attend the reunion which IS an annual event.
 The program committee, of which President H. B. Wilkinson IS chairman, is preparing a patriotic program Of great interest at this time. and short speeches, songs and recitations will be features of the day.
 It is not generally known that sey- eral years ago J. C. Phillips and Bar nett E. Marks were appointed a com mittee on sports. and the mere mention of their names bespeaks program of new and novel events of unusual ln- terest.
 Coffee, made by the world renowned R. H. Greene. The man who made Hi nois coffee famous will again furnish the beverage, and sugar will be sup piled. It has been thought advisable to dispense with the transportation
 committee this year, Riverside park being so accessible, and so many mem bers have automobiles or other means of conveyance, but the president will be glad to arrange for transportation for anyone who may be unable to at tend otherwise, if they will notify him.
 The Illinois society is one of the old est state societies in Arizona, the first of it's picnics being held in 1887 at Eastlake park which was at that time known as Phoenix park. M. w. Mess finger was the first president, and H. R. Patrick the first secretary at that early day. The attendance ranged from 275 to 450.
 The present officers and board of directors of the organization are H. E. Wilkinson, president; B. F. Marks, 1 first vice president; j.. C. Phillips, sec ond vice president; Mrs. H. H. Wilson, secretary; R. H. Greene, treasurer; James E. Griffin, H. R. Patrick, Mrs, Will Pinney, Mrs. Emory Rays, Mrs. 1 E. E. Jack, directors.

J. $. MARINE CORPS
 WILL BE ENLARGED

Sergeant Edison of the Marine Corps recruiting station in Phoenix says: "On account of the brilliant showing made by the marines in France, this branch of the service recently has been increased again, which bring the au- thorized strength up to 75,000 men. General Pershing has recommended that the brigade of marines now pres ent in France be increased to a di- vision.
 There is many a marine now serv- ing in the United States who is simply aching to get to France, and since this increase, his chances will be much bet ter to get there sooner than before.
 Now, want all men of draft age to come up and talk the matter over with me at 111a West Washington street and we will decide as to whether pr not we will go over there and create the noise that the marines have landed and have the situation well in hand
 All of the emergencies the corps has been called upon to meet have been met by the officers and the enlisted men in the most expeditions and eff cient manner without either friction or confusion. Thoroughly equippel and splendidly trained as the men in France are in the arduous methods of modern warfare, we feel that theirs will be a service of results which the nation will always remember with increasing pride."

(By the Busy Ad Man)


 The thing that rings the bell with me each week as 1 look over the an- swers to my contest is the big league quality of the home talent laying round these parts. Take it from one who knows. the stuff that 1 get sure sounds like big time. Nevertheless and not vithstanding, as our friend the auto mobile editor so often remarks, the line that cuts the ice with the honorable judges is correctness and neatness. They fall for that stuff every time so don't get the idea in your noodle that YOU have got to have super-siX brain to get in the money. A lot of our friends have brought home the well known bacon simply because they were right and had not tried to disguise the fact by putting finger prints all over their paper
 Well, boys, you let the ladies put you in the shade this week. Some wise g1v once made a break about "the fe- male of the species" but I'll tell the world that he didn't know half. They are not only deadlier but I am begin ing to think that they are a heap smarter I hope you fellows will dis peu this awful thought by pulling at least one of the prizes this week.
 First money went to Alice Hastings. Alice wrote a little dialect comedy in cooperating the answers in the dia- logue. This is a sample of her stuff.
 Alright I go wid you. You go by Nelsons. Dey haf yust da purtiest pomps Va know, Sedma, ven 1 vunce had da eXclamatory roomatism in my fleets 1 couldn't year no shoes, so ay vent to Nelson's an such nice man say, Miss Olson, got yust da shoe vat vunt hurt Yah, an l aint got no sore fleets now"
 Besides being clever Miss Hastings is very neat and this is one of the factors that made the judges favor her for first place.

 Miss Yaw is on her way east and could not appear in Phoenix on any other night except on Wednesday. The Emma Bunting stock company is too large to be moved for that occasion. Therefore, following correspondence with Miss Yaw. that singer has con- sented to sing between the acts of the play on Wednesday night in return for a contribution made by the Brandon Brothers to the Lark Ellen Home for Newsboys in California, an institution fostered by Miss Yaw. The Brandon Brothers will make the donation per sonally and will present Miss Yaw as an extra attraction at the theater on Wednesday night, April 24. She will sing during at least two intermissions. In addition to The Lark" Miss Yaw will sing some of the old favorties, such as When Johnny Comes March ing Home,' "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" Last Rose of Summer" and otbers. Ellen Beach Yaw still retains the reputation of having the highest soprano voice on the concert stage.
