M 'iDOO APPEALS TO
 PEOPLE F0R SAVING
(9e3qt1lTTeE ON Mpts,tic iNe,N.

Secretary McAdoo today issued the following appeal, in the war savings campaign:
 "Over eight hundred thousand of Americas sons are already on the fields of France where the bloodiest attacks of all history are raging. They are suffering and dying for us at home. They are giving their lives freely and heroically to save America and liber- ties of mankind. They need food, cloth ing and arms. Everyone who buys war savings stamps or signs a pledge to save and buy these stamps over a period of time helps himself and helps directly every American hero in France. Isn't this the least each patriot can do to enable our gallant boys to fight victOriously or to die gloriously in the cause of humanity and liberty? Let no one who genuinely loves America and wants to serve fail to enlist in the great army of war savers during the period ending June 2S, 191S.''

Wis. and Emma Chamberlin Wheeler of Phoenix, Ariz., were united in mar riage by Pastor I. Parry Dillon of the Seventh Day Adventist church. l The bridal party formed at the home of Pastor Dillon, and from there passed to the home of Evangelist Innis. where the ceremony was performed beneath a canopy of green and white made by a profusion of California flowers and 1 Arizona evergreens. A dainty white wedding bell of which a tiny electric globe was the clapper. shed a soft halo about the bride and groom, and added to the beauty of the scene. Little Rachel Innis and Marjore Dillon. prettily gowned in sheer white and carrying baskets, acted as flower girls, and at the close of the ceremony showered the happy couple with rose petals.
 Following the congratulations the wedding party repaired to the dining room, where delicious refreshments were served at a beautifully appointed table. the color scheme being pink and white.
 The bride was daintilly dressed in silk and wore a beautiful imported veil | of heavily embroidered lace which ad- ded to the richness Of her handsome costume.

Re- Baptism of Our Cotton

We cannot entirely approve of the liberty the Bureau of Markets has taken in officially changing the of Arizona Egyptian cotton to American Egyptian cotton. The given for the change is that though the cotton developed and first pro- duced in commercial quantities in the Salt River Val ley, it is being grown in other states. The par cular grade of cotton to which reference is made is Pima cotton and do not think that this year there will be much if any of it grown outside this state. The Egyptian cotton grown in the Imperial Valley though, of the Egyptian variety is generally of grade inferior to Pima which to date is the highest devel opment of Egyptian cotton.
 We might not object so much to the submergence of the name. Arizona in deference neighbor on the west which is growing Egyptian cotton but should prefer that the of Pima should retained for the kind of cotton here wherever in the future it may be grown. That would be enough glory for It would be far more distinctive than "Amer- Egyptian" for at present there are other and inferior grades of Egyptian cotton grown west.
 But the cotton which has been re- baptized by the Bureau of Markets is stated by tho making the announcement of the change to be Pima cotton and made to no other kind of long staple cotton.

How much of what hear of dissensons in Austria Hungary and of starvation is true and how much of it is fabricated have no means of know ing. Long ago British writers warned the people of the allied countries against such stories which had little or no foundation and which afloat by the German government. This warning is repeated at Collcls He points out that such stories as reach through the medium of the newspapers out with the consent of the government censors who could easily suppress them. It is Mir Dickinson's belief that for purposes of their the Germans desire the circulation of of starvation riot and pending revolution.

"BIue Blood" at Empress

A relentless arraignment of modern society is the theme of Blue Blood" a Selexart drama distributed by Gold wyn, in which Howard Hickman is starred at the Empress. The play lays bare the sins of the wealthy and those who would barter their souls for the empty pleasures that follow in the trail of money. The hideous taint in the blood of the so-called aristocrat, from the moment when the man in whose veins it is reels from the banquet table and hurls a glass against the wall in his frenzy to the time when something bursts in his brain and he crumples to the floor the tragedy of blue blood is remorselessly depicted by Hickman and his powerful supporting players.
 They portray persons who are real humans, swayed by the passions that govern the lives of people all around us. They give to Blue Blood' reality and strength they tell the powerful
