Huns Paint Dark Picture.

German propagandists are painting
dark picture Of the soviet govern
ment and of its leaders and the red
guards and everything else in revolu-
tionary Russia. German stories on
revolutionary Russia are rife with
tales of murder and bloodshed. An
intense wave. Of dislike and hatred
for practically everything in the
present Russian regime has swept
through public opinion in allied coun-
tries. So strong is this sentiment that
there is even now strong opposition
to sending men to Russia to investi-
gate the situation.
The Woln bureau is notorious.
Stockholm. Copenhagen and Amster-
dam are veritable strongholds Of Ger
man intrigue. Germany has practical
ly a monopoly on Russian news In
this time of crisis, when the allies are
searching for a foreign policy. it
stands to reason that all Russian
news reaching US from German
sources should be taken with great
conservatism.

George Walsh at Empress

What would you do, if after a night at the cabarets you discovered a big bear in your bathroom and it dawned upon you that you had bought the ani- mai for a pet. This may happen to you-this is the age of surprses-so you are advised to see Jack Spurlock, ProdigaP' at the Empress theater to- day, where George Walsh, the William FOX star, as young Spurlock. solves the problem of disposing of the 4OO- pound Alaska bruin Mir. Bear makes 1t interesting for the Harvard faculty and his young owner before he is got ten rid of.
 Jack Spurlock-ProdigaT was writ ten by George Horace Lorimer. editor of Saturday Post, published in the Sat urday Evening Post in serial form and later in book form. The story made a hit and the book attained the distinc- tion of being the "best seller" on the market.
 Jack Spurlock-Prodiga" is the story of a young Harvard students experience beginning after he has been dropped from Harvard because of his escapade with the bear He was a self-reliant chap and when his mil lionaire father placed him in charge of his business he sought to make a good stroke by buying a few hundred car loads of onions not knowing that his daddy had already bought 800 cars It works out all right, but before the film story is unfolded young Spurlock has many funny and thrilling experiences.

COTTON MARKET ET|NG PLAN GETS
 QUICK APPROVAL FROM FARMERS

Response to the plan for market ing the remaining part of the cotton crop last season-the plan outlined in The Republican yesterday morning by E. G. Attaway, c. Grant Jones and W. s. Dorman-has exceeded eX- pectations. In Phoenix alone some thing like 300 bales are all ready in sight for consignment shipment. It is believed that with another 24 hours more than the 800 bales needed to inagurate the plan will have been signed up.
 The plan is to have the cotton shipped by rail from here to Calves ton from which port it will go by water, probably to New Bedford. Those who have devised the plan state that they are assured by the railway people that the cotton can be delivered at its destination within 30 days of time of shipment.
 In the east the cotton will be looked after by men who understand the many advantages of the Salt River Valley long staple variety. It is be- lieved that ready market for the shipment will be found and that it will net more than 70 cents a pound in Phoenix when the bales are finally disposed of.
 The fact that a concerted move is to be made here will possibly have the effect of opening up local buying
Arizona republican., 1918-03-15

and it might even be that the cotton signed up for consignment shipment will be disposed of even before it is started on its way to the eastern market, where Pima and Yuma cot ton is already making a famous name for itself as the best long staple cot ton in the world
 The plan advanced seems the most practical one to renew the activity in the local cotton market, which has Jagged for about two months. The fact that it is now possible to ship by the embargo section of the coun- try should stimulate buying but, as the statement printed yesterday said, some mills will not consider any thing but spots stored in New Bed ford. It is the beauty of the local plan that it is proposed to deliver spot cotton right in the heart of the spot cotton market where it should, and undoubtedly will, be readily sold at high prices.
 The three men who are sponsors for the plan have been kept busy all day yesterday answering questions about their plan and signing up cot ton for the consignment shipment. It is as yet impossible to say exactly how much cotton will be thus sent to the market but it wiuld not be sur prising if as much as 1000 bales would be quickly secured.

Original Cards
 Of Registeration
 To Be Destroyed

Special warning was issued yes terday by M. T. Weyant, head of the local board, in regard to original registration certificates.
 Ut has been reported" said Mir. Weyant, "that on the departure of Various quotas of draftees for mo- Utilization centers, original reeistra- ton cards have been discarded or given away, with the result that number of these are in the posses sion of those atterPting to evade the draft.
 That these slips are of material value to draft eVzders is easily seen, for they are the principal evil dence upon which these men are ap- prehended. Cards must be turned in to the local board office on the eve of departure for camp"
 Possessors of original class ex- emption cards, for physical disqual- ification are requested to either de- stroy or turn them in to local board headquarters on receipt of the new class 1 cards. This concerns only the men who, under the old ruIinq, were classified under 5 as physically unfit for field service, and later called for re examination and classi- fication under 1.

Jack Pickford in From Sawyer"

JACK flCkTorQ m " on1 SdWyeT
 Mark Twain, the most beloved of all the American humorists, never wrote story that was more thoroughly en- joyed by people of all ages than From Sawyer" which, as is a well known fact is the life of himself as a boy in Hannibal, Mo. The screen has not produced an actor more capable of handling this famous role than Jack Pickford. who brings this story to the Lamara for today and tomorrow. With this combination to work to, it is no wonder that Tom Sawyer has proved the most popular release that has ever featured Jack Pickford whose position in the world of juvenile actors is an enviable one.
 The picture was made at Hannibal, and is correct even to the smallest de- tail. Huck Finn, the notorious bad boy of the town, the new girl" the "goody- goody boy" Aunt Polly" are all char acters that have been brought to life in this thoroughly enjoyable feature. The home-the very house Where Mark Twain lived as a boy is shown, as is also the famous fence which Tom was forced to whitewash. and which con- eession he sold to the boys who came to jeer at him. Do you remember? Of course you do. Whose is there who has not read Tom Sawyer and who has ever read it who can forget it.
 A clever comedy "Toothaches and Heartaches" will round out the bill which should prove a most interesting one.

 Find It Hard
 PickingS Here

One would hardly believe that it would take the Copper state to produce a diamond of the proper dimensions for a tooth filling, and likewise dentist equal to the task of setting the brilliant, but such was the experience of s. w. Don aldson
 On realizing that he was badly in need of some dental work, Donald son who was then in Los Angeles, resolved to fill the offending ivory with a diamond, thereby .making the work ornamental as we'll as useful. A search of many days failed to reveal a stone of the proper size, and at last in desper- alton he purchased a small dia- mond, only to find that no dentist he consulted in the coast city could make it stick.
 Phoenix, however, rose to the emergency, and covered herself with glory. by introducing Mack Gardner, who possessed a diamond of the exact size and quality, and pr. P. J. Ritchie who possessed the necessary skill and acumen.
 Donaldson is now the proud pos sessor of "sparkIer" filled tooth, and probably the distinction of be- ing the only man in Arizona with a like adornment.

National Director Warm in Praise of Results Secured
 by Salt River Valley Boys During the Past Summer

Last summer and fall the lads of Arizona did wonderfully effective work in the fields. National Direc- tor W. E. Hall of the United States Boys Working reserve Of the depart ment of labor has written State Di- rector Lin B. Orme:
 Your splendid work in Arizona last year has been an inspiration to us here and to the other states. The story of what the boys did in the cotton fields has been spread to every state in the Union"
 Organization of the Arizona Re- serve for the 1918 cropping season starts Monday. March IS. The week will be one of national enrolment, though not. expected to complete the whole time of enrolment. All boys between 16 and 21 are eligible. They all are needed, to save the crops and help their nation win the war In cidentally, they will draw good wages under the best of social and working conditions.
 The Y. M. C. A. was an active force in the reserve last year and has been asked to help again. The prin- cipals of all Arizona high schools have been addressed directly and are expected to be the principal enrolling officars. The ministers of the state also have been asked to help, es- pecially in reassuring mothers that their boys will be properly cared for. Tho lads all will go out under SUD- ervision that will secure them all necessary rest and recreation periods and that will attend to their proper feeding and housing.
 President Wilson is strongly sup porting the idea of the Boys Work ing Reserve. He has said:
 "To give the young men between 16 and q the privilege of spending their spare time in productive en- terprise without interrupting their studies in school, while their older brothers are battling in the trenches and on the seass, must greatly in- crease the means of providing for the forces at the front and the mainte- nance of those whose services are needed here"

Hits in "Watch Your Step"

There are enough real big song hits in Watch Your Step the current bill of the Lou Jacobs musical comedy stars at the Elks theater, to fill an ex- traordinary clever musical comedy and they are the catchy kind that the au- dience is found humming or whistling long after the theater is left.
 There is absolutely no plot to Watch Your Step" It is merely a thread used to lead some very clever people on the stage and give them an opportunity to show their talent in bits and specialues 1 in which they most excel. The musical numbers especially are excellently costumed and staged and no travelling show out of the east has shown any more class than Lou has | infused into his offering.
 "Allah's Holiday" as sung by Miss Gilman. assisted by the McMartin sis l ters and the chorus, injects an atmos- phere of the orient into the play that | is truly delightful while Jimmie Ed wards offers monologue in black face that is as good as anything ever seen here.
 The staging throughout is pleasing and quite up to the standard of the | Elks attractions

Two distinct features provide the discriminate movie lover a splendid program at the Hip today and tomor- row.

The story fol- lows closely the book in the telling for screen and the World people think 1t Is the best release this winter.
 If this were not enough the manage ment of the Hip will screen for the first time in Arizona the first of a dozen independent comedies from the Girls You Know by James Mont gomery Flagg.
