Last Day Petrova at Hip

Madame Petrova in her own ere ation. picture of splendid class, Daughter of Destiny" finishes its three-day stay with this date. No picture presented at the Hip has ap- pealed to a peter class of picture trade than this sparkling society creation. It is so removed from the common melodramatic appeal in most pictures that it stands in a class by itself.
 With it today will be shown the newest screen review with remarkable pictures here and abroad.
 Tomorrow dainty Violet Merserau comes in a smart love story of the hill country entitled, The Girl of the Roadside" in which this star is seen as an injured society girl who has fallen from her horse and whose mind is blank for the time. She is taken to the mountain home of the young fellowN who finds her and the romance theh commences.
 Friday and Saturday sees the first showing in Arizona of "Rasputln the Black Monk of Russia" The Literary Digest this week contains an inside story of this infamous char acter that those who have not fol- | lowed the fortunes of the Roman offs and the fall of their dynasty will do well to read, This review | tells of the influence of the charla- | ton who rose from the gutter to be the real boss of Russia, for that is the text of the picture which fin | ished recently a three weeks run al Clunie's auditorium in Los Angeles.

Mile. Marcelle as Cleone Edward Boring as a sheik, Violet Homer as Zarrah, his wicked daughter, and beautiful Henrietta Gill bert as the Fairy of Goodness were strong and convincing.
 The first night audience was moved by the vividness of the great scenes in which thousands appear to take part. The story is fantastic, but it touches the heart as a fairy tale well told, and it holds the interest of those who follow it. "A Daughter of the Gods" is something children can see and enjoy as well as grown-ups.

THREE COUNTIES
 HAVE GIVEN ALL
 QUOTA TO ORAF I.
Yavapai, Yuma and Pima
 Have Enlisted Enough
 Men to Make Last Call In Three Unnecessary

When the call comes to Arizona for the final Ia per cent of the first quota of registrants to join the colors, there are three counties in this state that can sI back and give the provost marshal general the laugh, or whatever counties do when they are in a position to ig- nore, successfully, such orders to pro- duce men for the national army.
 The three counties in this state that already have sent at least their full quota of men to the cantonments or to the army are Yayapai, Yuma and Pima. Since the last call of 40 per cent of the full quota of the counties has been responded to, these three counties have sent sufficient men to the army to enable them to ignore the call for the last 15 per cent when it is issued.
 In addition to the final 15 per cent of that county's quota, Yavapa and furnished thirty-one men more, and this number will be credited to that county when the second call comes. Yuma county has a credit of two men on the second call. Pima county is just even.
 The other counties of the state, to date, owe the following numbers of men to complete their first quota: Co., conlno, i; Maricopa, "A; Apache, 10; Cochise, Ss; Gila, 5s; Graham, 15: Greenlee, 27; Mohave, 14; Navajo, 15; Pinal 13; Santa Cruz, 10.

CATTLEMENARE
 FACING PROBLEM TO SECURE MEN
Army and Navy Has Called
 Into Service Punchers
 By Hundreds-Greenlee Cattle Are Doing Well

That Uncle Sam in his army and navy is getting all the experienced Arizona COW men, is the chief complaint of the cattlemen of the state as eX- pressed at the meeting of the Greenlee County Cattle Growers association at Clifton last Friday and which was at tended by Sam Bradner. secretary of the state live stock sanitary board.
 More than p cattlemen from the Blue country and vicinity attended the meeting of the association and all declared that the scarcity of good COW men was felt in that country. Some COW men had been brought in from the drouth stricken parts of Texas, from which country the cattle had been re- moved, it was stated, but they are not sufficient to supply the demands the cattlemen declare.
 The association made arrangements to seAd a large delegation from that country to the meeting of the state cattlemens association at Nogales or February IA, 15 and 16.
 While the Greenlee county associa, tion meeting was in session." said MT Bradner, Postmaster Kelly of Cliftor entered the room and in 15 minutes h, had sold to the cattlemen more thar $500 worth of War Savings certifi cates.
 The condition of the cattle in tn, Blue country is good,' said MT. Brad ner, and there is plenty of feed, bu in the southern part of Greenlee coun | ty the cattle are in bad shape an, many have died''
 From Clifton MT Bradner went t | NOgales where he made further ar engagements for the attendance of | large delegation of cattlemen iron this section at the state meeting whicl l begins on the 14th.
 Secretary J. B. Bristol of the No gales Chamber of Commerce is maxim many plans for the entertainment O | the stOckmen at the state meeting, added MT. Bradner, They look for
 large crowd and expect to make tha meeting the biggest ever held in tn state. The Southwestern. Cattle Grow CTS association will complete the trans | action of their business on the morn ing of the fourteenth and will be read to join with the Arizona association o that afternoon.
 There are to be many events of in terest at the meeting. On the frs night there will be a smoker in whic
 there will be sparring events by tn

Johnson is the teacher who comes to the high school from the Mesa high where he was highly successful as an instruc- tor.

Mary Pickford at the lamara

Once again Americas sweetheart Mary Pickford-is on hand to delight her host of admirers in the city, and will open a three days engagement at the Lamara today, appearing in The Little Princess" from the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In child parts. Mary Pickford stands without equal in the world today. She is the standard by which all others are judged, and for this reason it particularly pleasing that Aircraft has assigned to her the role of Sara Crewe, character that is known to thousands throughout the world. Mary Pickford has created in this picture a role that will rank with her wonderful 'Rebecca" in ''Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and with all of her well known skill and ability succeeds in bringing to the screen a study so realistic that once again a character famous in litera- ture has taken life and waits to greet all who through reading this charming story of childlife, have come to feel an intimate acquaint- ance with the little motherless girl who is forced to endure the life of boarding school managed by a hypocritical matron.

COTTON PRICES
 FUR SAVANNAH
 SECURED HERE

Understanding that the price paid for sea island long staple cotton on the Savannah market should about cor respond with the price which the long staple of the Salt River valley should bring, through cooperation of the United States department officials, The Republican has secured the Savannah quotations.
 It should be understood that these quotations, while they come from the secretary of the Savannah Cotton Ex- change, are unofficial. They are, how ever, based upon actual sales. They are furnished by Secretary w. H. Teasdale personally but not in his capacity as secretary of the Savannah exchange.
 MT. Teasdale's telegram to The Re- publican is as follows:
 "Unofficial sea island quotations: Fancy, extra choice and choice all quoted at "A cents. Sales 50 bales"
 This indicates that the price here should be directly in accord with the quotation given, freight considered The last official quotation here, which was many days ago, was 70 cents.

Mandamus Step Expected
 As Next Move to Con troversy Between State Engineer and Commission

The promised developments which were to have occurred yesterday in the imbroglio between the highway engineer, Lamar Cobb, and the com mission of state institutions, accord ing to the announcement made at the state house Saturday, did not develop.
 The only thing that did occur was a deep and profound silence in re- gard to everything that had the slightest connection with the scrap which had disturbed the administra tion and has thrown a scare into the official family for fear that other office holders might possibly be drawn into the discussion, and for that reason they are sitting very steady in the boat
 At present is is about as easy to 1 induce a democrat at the state house to speak a kind word for the kaiser as it is to get him to venture an opinion on the merits of the contro versy between the state engineer and the commission.
 There were no statements, official | or otherwise, given out at the office of the governor yesterday regarding | the next move with reference to d settlement of the affair. and the same silence was observed at the office of i the commission of state institutions. 1 However, at the latter office it was stated vehemently that the assertion made in the afternoon paper yester- 1 day to the effect that a large amount i of salaries is being held up in pay ment by the action of the commits sion was not true.
 This statement said that in the matter of salaries alone, $32,S re- mains unpaid to employees of the state highway department, some of this amount, including payrOlls fOI the last part of December, and that bills to the extent of s2S,000 against the department are still unpaid and because the commission refuses tC approve the warrants drawn on these amounts by the state engineer.
 The statement that the comms- sion is holding up salary warrants for the state highway department is Mcbride of the commission last night
 Wiley E. Jones. attorney general upon whom rests the beginning of quo warranto proceedings against the state commission-if he desires to- has given no hint of his future course. If he declines to act oI the demand made by State Engineer Cobb, which, it is said. is his likely course, the engineer then will insti ute mandamus proceedings to com pei the attorney general to act.
