ADJUSTMENTS
aPenax Leads the Way"

The self-serVing groceries such as the basketerias, groceterias and such are not new innovations as some per sons are lead to believe. It is an old custom used in the back country stores, but there the self serve was of diff ferent character.
 In Peggy Leads the Way" the cur rent offering at the Columbia theater today, a soda cracker barrel stands in the front part of the store. Here the customers and loungers always helped themselves to the crackers without paying for them, this way establishing a custom that finally led to the more modern way of selling groceries.
 Mary Miles Winter" the darling of the screen" who plays the part of Peg gy, put a stop to this form of indoor sport when she came home from fin ishing school and found her taul4er all most a bankrupt. She took over tie nagement of the store and made it pay, by running a strictly cash bus mess
 Peggy Leads the Way through five reels of comedy and drama, with a happy and pleasant climax. The others in the cast supporting Miss Minter are actors of note and make the pictures a good attraction.
 "A Sea Serpent's Desire" two reel Keystone comedy, augments the fea- ture picture.

Baseball OVershadowed

The opening of the baseball season Monday does not augur well for the national game this year. The fact is it has been displaced as the national game. We have bigger ones an international game in which there is something more at stake than pen nants. A year ago the baseball magnates were en- couraged by high authorities enter upon the sea son. They were informed in substance that they might perform a real service by entertaining the people, by taking their minds off of the war. That was of piece with the advice to keep up business usual"
 It turned out that the people did not that sea- son. need anything to keep their off of the war for they were not giving it as much attention as it deserved. They needed something rather, to fix their minds on the They have now been SUD- piled with that with the result that their minds are not baseball.
 It is of less importance what the Cubs or the Giants or the Cardinals doing than what the French, the British the Americans and Germans are doing We are far less concerned with the per formances of Johnson, Cicotte- Ty Cobb Herzog and LaJoie than with the plays of Pershing, Haig Foch and von Below.
 We are not only not greatly interested in base ball but even those of us who followed the fortunes of the leagues formerly regard almost with resentment the taken up by the box scores the accounts of the games
 The so-caed national game has at last been overshadowed though hitherto it had overshadowed everything minor or remote wars and even presi- dential campaigns

Details Carefully Carried Out

Was Mare Anthony's great speech to the Romans inspired by Cleopa- tra? Some learned historians say he made this remarkable speech before he met Cleopatra others say that she was the inspiration for it. Anyhow when Antony made love to the vam- pire queen he said Lend me your ears as he did to the Roman Fathers. so the line was either originated at that time or he was repeating it.
 The magnificent production of Cleo patra which shows for three days at the Columbia theater. commencing Thursday matinee, shows the Roman senate in session as well as Mare Anthony making love to his adorable Cleopatra
 The wonderful acting of Theda Bara, as Cleopatra, and the mag nificense and splendOr of the scenery and costumes makes this picture not able and William Fox. it's producer, spared no expense in the making
 Fifty different costumes are worn by Miss Bara in this production and $150.000 worth of jewelry of Egyptian design adorns the graceful figure of the screens greatest vampire. Each | costume required different jewelry to match and all settings are perfect replicas of Cleopatra's time.
 The wonderful orchestration of haunting music played by an aug mented orchestra, is an added at traction with this wonderful picture.

A Triangular Affair

A lady subscriber of The Republican takes issue with communication which appeared this paper yesterday in denuncaton of cats especially because of their depredations among chickens which the writer has been trying to raise. That charge against the cats the lady thinks should dismissed on the ground that the acts of the cats complained of even if true, do not constitute an offense The lady has had experience with chickens of her own and more bitter experience with the chickens of neighbors
 Though it is true, she says that the Food Ad- ministration with mistaken zeal has put chickens under protection it ought to have known that war gardens which supposed to aid materially in making the world safe for democracy, cannot thrive in the same community with chickens. She has satisfied herself regarding that by exhaustive and costly experiment.
 Even before the of the war garden she had demonstrated to her convincing, that the chicken in town is nothing more than outlet for surplus wealth Her chickens cost her. she is sure not less than $5 piece. As to what would have been the net returns from her war-garden she never could find out because of the chickens She would like to sec the war garden given fair chance but it can have none unless through the agency of free, untrammeed and encouraged cats. She therefore moves that the costs.
 We are not to be understood to be shading any of the three lines of this cat-chicen- war garden triangle. Our position far is one of benevolent neutrality. But it does appear to us that the urban chicken and the garden constitute a contradic tion of facts. The Food Administration all nowerful as it is, cannot harmonize them or make them coalesee; one or tSe other must go.

Mary Pickford at Lamara

Stella Maris," the latest production starring Mary Pickford, winch is the attraction today at the I.amara- re- maining over tomorrow, is in many re- spects the most difficult story "onr Mary has ever handled.
 The story centers around the lives of two girls of widely different stations m life, and of decidedly different tenn peraments. Stella Maris'-star of the sea-is the name which has been giyer an invalid who has always lived amid the surroundings given by dotine father and mother, and who has come 10 believe that life holds nothing but the Joy and happiness she has always known Unity Blake" an abused in- mate of an orphanage, has never known anything but misery and hardships. Both ro.es are portrayed by the versa tlie Mary, and this is the first instance or her entire career that she has been assigned dual character part. Ii is sad that her makeup as Unity Blake, the slavey, was so exceptionallv well done, that when she entered the studio, she was not recognized even by ths members of her company. It is the love ofthe two girls for the same man that forms the foundation of the story.

UNITED EFFORT
 NOW NEEDED 7O
 PUT OVER JUAN

It is going to require the united et- fort and help of every true citizen oI this state to put over" the third Lib erty loan campaign. There must be no holding back or hesitation. Subscribers must do their best. Many changes in war conditions have come about since the loan was planned by congress. These are the remarks of H. J. Me Clung, state chairman of the campaign for Arizona. He said further:
 Look at the latest message from the secretary of the treasury-it reads:
 Some confusion and not little diff ficulty has arisen due to the allotment of quotas to smaller communities and sections of counties. Word has gone out that some of these smaller towns have secured their allotment and this has resulted in a number of commun ities quitting work.
 There never was a greater mistake.
 Do not stop working when your quota has been reached: The govern ment needs all the money our citizens can subscribe. Some of the best if nancial authorities in the country have estimated that if the next Liberty Loan is to be postponed until October, which is very desirable, not less than 5000, 100000 should be raised at this l time. or a subscription of 66 2-3 per cent beyond the quotas published, which represent the minimum required to make the third loan a success. This puts an entirely different view on the situation. Everyone must now work to the limit and every commun- utmost in order that the money needed be secured without fail.
 | Workers in every community must see every citizen and secure subscrip- tions from every true American, for getting the quotas originally assigned and striving for the limit
 The record of Arizona for the third 1 loan should equal the records of the first and second. This time the big mining corporations may not come fin with large subscriptions. It is up to the citizens of this state to accomplish the work. Arizona is behind the rest of the states in the west country. At this time only 20 per cent of the total allot- ment for the state has been subscribed, according to figures yet reported Ev- cry true Arizonian must throw himself into the task with greater effort. The slogan adopted by the Liberty Loan committee, Work to Win" must be put into actual use in every part of the state.

 Emma Bunting Proves Favorite
 With her Winsome ways and pleasing personality. little Emma Bunting is proving a big drawing card at the Elks theater. With the ease of the finished artist she moves her audience to laughter and applause without appar- ent effort In her deliniation of the hoydenish role of Jerry" the madcap daughter of an aristocratic mother, she brings out fully the idea the author meant to convoy, that only thought less, reckless girl of very tenoer years and total inexperience in the ways of society would say and do the things she does, literally flinging herself at the man she has selected for a husband. In a woman of more maturity this would be inexcusable, but in the "Jer- ry'' Miss Bunting portrays, it seems perfectly natural.
 An unusual attraction for the women is the beautiful and modish gowns which Miss Bunting wears. making nine different changes during the action of the play. Each and every gown is a triumph of the dress makers art, and as beautiful as the piquant little wear

out day and night in all sorts of weather is not display of patriotism although that may be what it intended There is nothing very inspiring about flag which has become so faded and dirty through sheer neglect as to resemble dirty rag than the emblem of country.
 At the beginning of the citizens generally felt that they should raise the flag their homes their places of business. Because of the demand for flags and the increased of materials of which flags made the makers raised the prices of flags to unheard of figures.
 It is doubtful whether there are many of these high-priced flags in existence Most of them have been to threads in the wind and storm, and have been faded by summer heat. In this necton the Philadelphia Ledges points out the custom of the federal service its treatment of the flag. In the army and the navy the flag is hoisted in the morning and at night it carefully lowered and put under cover In circumstances is the flag allowed to touch the ground

that everyone wear a gauze which is
