ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENTS NORMA TA[MADGE IN
 HER GREAT SUCCESS

As Miss Talmadge has said, "The Ghosts of Yesterday is her master piece, with Eugene O'Brien and Stuart Holmes in support, she scored as no picture for weeks, yesterday at the Hip. It is a smart story done from Rupert Hughes novel Two Women" and sticks close to the original tale, giving Miss Talmadge first as the beautiful wife of an artist, and later the wildcat model of the Latin quarter. a wonderful chance to show her undoubted versa tality.
 Stuart Holmes as the william. and Eugene O'Brien as the artist, both are happily cast and contribute to the splendid picture. It will be shown again today, and the change in the clocks makes the evening shows a bit off the usual schedule. The Hip management asks that the patrons to avoid standing, phone the box office for the change in schedule The Hip will continue to open at 10 o'clock in the morning, despite the l the change of the clocks. A smart news weekly augments the feature By special arrangement. "The Beast of Berlin, the Kaiser" is to be shown four days starting Wednesday. A l review will be given of it to the press and officers of the Liberty loan
 and thrift stamp campaigns. as well
 as the Red Cross and the council of defense.

NEW FOOD SAVING
 REGULATIONS ID GO
 INTO EFFECT TODAY

Beginning today. the revised wheat saving program, as outlined by the United States food administration in press dispatches of last week, will go into effect in the homes and public eating places of Arizona.
 This program calls for the most. drastic steps yet undertaken to con- serve the scant supply of wheat avail able until the next harvest. Under it's provisions every person will be limited to one and a half pounds of wheat week. Details of this new conservation drive are made clear in the following principles laid down by the United States food administrator and which will be adhered to in it's enforcement in Arizona:
 First: Households shall adopt the maximum ration for wheat flour Cor it's wheat equivalent contained in such wheat products and victory bread ma . caroni, breakfast cereals, etc) of one and one half pounds of wheat flour per person, per week. Observances of wheatless days and meals will aid households in meeting this new re- quirement, but are no longer obli- gatory.
 Second: Public eating places and clubs shall adopt the same principle as households, which in it's practical ap- plication to such places means that they shall adopt the maximum ration of wheat flour Cor it's wheat equivalent contained in such wheat products as Victo1ybre adm acaroni, etc.O of six pounds of wheat flour for every ninety meals served. In addition thereto not to serve in the aggregate total of an, products containing more than two ounces of wheat flour 10 any one guest ! at any one meal
 To reconcile both these requirement. It IS ruled that no wheat products shal be served unless ordered and the ob servance of wheatless days and meal. IS to be continued By wheatless i. meant no wheat flour in any foot served except that contained in victor,
 bread Thus wheatless days and meal
 become optional in households but re
 main obligatory as before in publi
 eating places and clubs

charming little star, whose versatility has become the wonder of picture circles. The story asks forcibly, Can another faults be laid at your door and in an entirely original manner proceeds to show the injustice that is often wrought through holding the children to account for the sins of the fathers" It is a stirring drama of romance and heroism which goes over big. Among the big scenes in the feature may be mentioned the burning of ship and the thrilling rescue of the crew.
 William $. Hart, always a favorite, is appearing on the same program in another of the roles which he has made famous. This time it is in "A Square Deal" drama by Thomas H. Ince. which offers him in the familiar type of the Western bad man. Tomorrow Marguerite Clark

FASTEST MAN |S SELECTED ID bE
 SQUAD JAP TAIN
Change of Time and Sched- ule Prevents Friends
 and Relatives Seeing New Soldiers Off to Camp

Due somewhat to the changing of time and mostly 10 the fact that the railroad changed, at the last minute, it's schedule for the train on which the draft contingent was to leave for Fort Riley, many friends and relatives of the departing boys failed to appear early enough yesterday afternoon to bid them goodbye.
 The train, which was due to leave at 7:30 o'clock, the limited passing through Tucson, and advices from that station late yesterday afternoon, stated that the car from Phoenix could not be attached, so the contingent was forced to leave about 5:30. o'clock to make connections.
 One of the most interesting incidents, perhaps, was the selection for a cap- tain of the quota, and incidentally one of the quickest cases of registration on record.
 Charles w. Jones. of 1O30 West Polk street, registered here last June and then left the city. During the early stages of the draft his papers were lost, and although he had his card, he was not drafted. Jones dropped into local board heaquarters Saturay and stated his case, following which he was
 
 paper made. He took physical ex- animation and was passed, reported back to the board and was formally notified that he had passed, all in thirty five minutes.
 This was so fast said NJ. T. Wey- ant, head of the local board" we de- cided that when the boy arrives over there he'll chase 'em clear back tl Berlin, so we made him captain of the contingent
 With the exception of Francisco Martinez, the full number of draftees reported. Martinez is now classed as 6 i deserter.

GREAT THRONG SEES DEDICATION 0F NEW
 CHRISTIAN CHURCH

With fitting ceremony the handsome new Central Christian church was for mallv dedicated yesterday. From early in the forenoon until late at night there was something doing in the $l5,- 900 structure at Central avenue and Mckinley street. And when the doors were finally closed for the night hun- dreds, even thousands of members and friends of the congregation had become so acquainted with the new church it already wore a homelike air for them.
 Rev. George L. Snively of St. Louis. dedicator and evangelist, taking for his text the words, T was glad when they said unto Me, Let us go into the House of the Lord preached a most elo- quent sermon at the dedicatrorial ser vice held at II o'clock.
 Probably the most notable service of the day was that of the Bible school when the attendance goal of 1500 set several weeks ago, was overtopped by 96. In other words there were pres- ent within the big building during the Bible study hour, exactly 1896 men, women, boys and girls. It was a rec ord that will hardly be equaled again. The services of the day were strictly of the order of the usual Easter Sun day observance.
 During the services announcement was made that it was expected that 1 S45,000 would be subscribed to meet | debt and current expenses. Before the i subscription lists were closed it was 1 found that over $55,000 had been paid in or pledged. A portion of this is to be devoted to the organ fund, the plan i being to purchase handsome pipe organ in the near future
 There were seventy baptisms and acceptances into membership yester- day. Rev. w. $. Buchanan, pastor of the church through whose untiring ef- forts the handsome structure grew from plans to reality, was visibly inn pressed with the record breaking at tendances yesterday and with the lib- eral response to his plea for funds tc meet the church debt. In every respect he said, the day overtopped any in the history of any Christian church in the southwest.
 One of the features of the plan tt secure attendance at the dedicator, services as well as at the Bible clas. service, was the automobile lines main. tained throughout the day. There wer, about ten or twelve stations and thos, living at distance from the churcl and not having cars of their own. foun, cars in waiting for them within a shor distance of their homes. Not onl, Were they taken to church in these car

 Another feature of the day was tn
 serving of basket dinners in the hi
 church dining room. Many of thos
 who visited the church in the mor.in
 took their dinner in the dining roor
 and remained for the afternoon an evening services.

NO SETTLEMENT IN
 KANSAS CITY STRIKE
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

KANSAS CITY, March 31.-Easter Sunday brought no disorders and no progress toward settlement of the gen. eral strike of union labor in Kansas City, called last Wednesday in support Of striking laundry employees.
 Limited street car service was main tained, cars being guarded by police men and national guardsmen patrolling the lines in motor cars.
 Late tonight the following telegram signed by E. L. Keeran, secretary of the strike committee, was sent to the national war labor board at Washing ton:
 We ask you to exercise the power vested in you to settle the local con- troyersy.'
 The telegram was sent after meet ing of 1900 striking strret car men where the situation was discussed. the teachers, or have had no vision, or ignored to take notice of the signs of the times.
 About ninety per cent of the public school teachers cannot live and pay their bills on the salaries they now re- ceive. Good teachers, and they are the only ones who ought to be hired, are always scarce, and are going to be scarcer: and inexperienced teachers who are placed in schools without a specified course to follow or some guid- ing supervision, sometimes do the children as much harm as good. Again repeat, the teachers should be paid a living salary and if they are not, the sooner they resign and go into com mercial work the better for themselves and the business world.
 During the past four months, thou sands of teachers have resigned and the stream of resignations will con- tinue to grow larger and larger unless the check of a living salary is applied ! to stop it. The written and signed con- tract to teach for any given time and price will not hold the teacher, and the school board dare not attempt to en- | force the contract. Any teacher hel6 | against his will is a bad proposition so far as the children are concerned The most serious part of this reason 1 able unrest is the deplorable fact tha most Of the teachers resigning are thu
 excellent ones, and not the incompe
 tents. My sympathy goes out to tn,
 profession because of the welfare I fee
 for the boys and the girls of our land
 This is the age when it is our boundel
 duty to grow bigger and better boys develop better man than ever, to trail up nobler women than hitherto and tht
 chief instrumentality to do this glor l ious and laudabe work is the publi
 school. What are you going to d.
 about it?

known in vegetable products. It is used in the manufacture of Crisco, salad oils and many other products. The above products, with long staple cotton. which grows here better than any place in the world, is the very best reason why the valley should grow this product. leaving alfalfa, grain and other crops to regions less highly fla vored with these conditions.
 T would like every man here to do what he can for the expansion of the cotton industry. It means the complete and ultimate success of the Salt River valley. The time will be when each grower will have from 40 to 50 acres to cultivate himself and whereon he can raise crops sufficient to maintain a family. He will not then be depending on a great influx of periodical labor to care for an abnoraml situation
 Urges Vigilance
 Dr. Wilkinson then stated that Mir McDevitt would endeavor to answer any questions that might be asked re- lating to the cotton industry. What about over -production?" asked one. "There were 12,000 acres produced this year, a normal need of half a million"
 What about manufacture here? Climatic and other conditions do not seem to invite manufacturing here."
 How much does Goodyear use?" 'If the whole estimated crop of the south west were taken, this firm would still be short 10000 bales"
 How about insects, boil weevil for instance?"
 Eternal vigilance is the price of safety. It is the trouble we know that we can best combat. Only recently a discovery was made by our state en- tcmologist, A. W. Morrill,, of the high est importance. A working girl re- marked to someone where she was em- ployed that one of her neighbors, who had recently come from Texas, was feeding his cows some strange looking cotton seed. MT. Morrill, got wind ot ! it and found quite a lot of short staple seed literally swarming with boL weevil. It was promptly destroyed ant the place where it was kept was thor oughly fumigated and soaked with oi | to destroy any possible spread. My nephew also sent me some sam | pies of Georgia cotton while on hi: way to the aviation camp which promptly found infested and which destroyed. I strongly urge that yoI each and all give prompt attention t( reporting and Investigating cotton seeC that may be brought into the valle! this year"
