RUDOLPH GARAGE HAS
TRACTOR SALES ROOM

A wide arched doorway has been
cut in the wall that separated the old
building of the Ed Rudolph garage
from the later additions. The front
part of the old building, which is about
so feet square is being used as a dis
plav room for tractors and farming i'm
plements oliver farming tools, which
are recommended by Henry Ford for
use with the F'ordson tractor, are the
only kind kept in stock.
Charles Anderson is a recent addition
to the sales force of the Rudolph es-
adjustment. He now handles the trac-
tor and implement end of the depart
ment. He has been several years in
the service of Ed Rudolph.
Another new feature of the estab-
lishment is the dust proof painting
room, which has been constructed in
the Rudolph building. The affair is
constructed of canvas and is said to
prevent even the slightest amount OF
dust to enter.

PACKARD HAD BIC
SHARE IN LIBERTY
MOTOR PRODUCTION

OF the first 10000 liberty motors
produced, 1856 were Packard built on
the same date, the Lincoln motors had
produced 1901, and the total Ford out
put was 2,010. The total production of
all makers up to October 10, was
10.151.
The largest number ever shipped in
a single day from any plant was $50.
This shipment was made from the
Packard plant. June so. Production
chiefs point out however. that ship
ments are not the true barometer OF
production. because several engines
may be completed in all but detail OF

tail, and then suddenly completed and
a large number released for shipment
in single day.
The figures on engines assembled
which furnish the real gauge of pro-
duction, and on shipments made up tt
the night of october for all liberty
engine makers are as follows:
Packard assembled 1855. shipped s.

The Packard company points on
! that its record production is due to tn
start it gained in its experimental
work for two years preceding the dec

with the liberty engine, and in its pro

CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

The tire chains should be adjusted
so that they fit snngly. which means
that they have freedom enough to
creep around the tires and yet are not
loose During the season when chains
are much in use it IS douhly important
to keep the tires fully inflated all the
time, as a soft tire with chains on will
be damaged to a certainty. and quickly.

COAST ROAD is GOOD

Now that the coast road is in fair
shape between northern and southern
California points, it is expected that
many motorists who use their ma
chimes to go between the bay cities and
southern California will travel it in
preference to the valley highway. Jack
Staples, one of the prominent motor
lists of Oakland, recently went to Los
over the coast road in his Chevrolet,
and declares the latter is much the
warmer of the two.

MUCHCOTTONCROWV
ON THE SOUTH SIDE

MESA, Dec. 2s.-Mal1ing the esti-
mate from sources of information at
the various. towns of the southside, it is
probable that about 80 per cent of the
acreage on this side of the Salt River,
has been marketed.
There has been a very considerable
and annoying delay to the growers by
reason of the late start of the gins, and
the consequent holding of the cotton in
the seed. This delay. however, appeared
unavoidable and evidently was more
bother to the ginners than to any one
individual grower. Now the three gins
at Mesa and those of the other towns
are turning out cotton as fast as is
possible for them to do so, and the con-
gestion is being gradually relieved
Cotton is selling as rapidly as the
farmers are offering it, at around Sc
cents for basis extra. A number Of
bales have been consigned by Mesa
growers to the Peoples bank of Boston,
but by far the greater portion has been
taken by local buyers.
While the price offered is naturally
disappointment to the grower, We.
where cotton has been grown with any
regard to the expense of producing the
crop, farmers say there has been Il
profit to them on the years work
The amount sold has served to lessen
and in many instances entirely remove
the stringency that has existed with
many individuals because of the long
growing season and the late marketing
of their crop, and now the remainder
of their cotton will be sold with the
satisfaction of knowing that the prof,
end of the season is here.
A very great deal of interest is mani
tested in the various conferences re-
garding probable plans for better mar.
keting of the cotton, and the efforts be.
ing made to secure more active ano
steadier demand for the staple There
seems little disposition to belittle tht
/ advantages of cotton growing in tn,
| valley, and the average farmer is Opt
mistic over the coming of a time wheI
| this wonderful product will receive tn
price justified by its value and the skill
and labor required for its successful
| growth.

week two trunks belonging to Stok-
litzky were seized at Detroit by agents
of the department of justice and in
them were found numerous copies of
a Russian paper, published in New
York, which lost its mailing privileges
because of the numerous arguments
for bolsheviSism which appeared in it.
Stoklitsl<y said he had been in the
United States since 1909 Previously

"Hearts of the World" in Mesa


Hearts of the World" David W.
Griffith's undisputed masterpiece as all
the world has conceded. is not a war
story OF propa ganda picture, but a
love story, pure and simple. And never
was the sweetest story ever told"
framed in such a setting. The grim,
gaunt spectre haunted, war-ridden
fields of France are the scenes of its
action and its charming love episodes
were played to the music of English,
French and German cannon. Noyon,
the picturesque French town where the
American boys fought was chosen by
Mr.. Griffith as the locale for his story
and all his players were taken there in
order to get scenes that would fit with
his sense of reality. Dorothy and Lii
liam Gish and Robert Harron, as well as
the producer, endured many dangers.
They were under shell fire eleven diff
ferent times, once for eight hours.
This wonderful drama, with its fun
orchestra 10 musicians, Just as pro-
duced at the Columbia in Phoenix, will
be shown here tonight, Monday and
Tuesday, with matinees. Seats are on
sale at Everybody's Drug Store.
