FUND |S STARTED ID SEND BOND LISTS
 ID FIGHTERS

Art Rick has started a fund to buy up copies of the lists of Lib- erty bond subscribers to be sent to all of the Arizona boys in ser vice, So that they may know just how and who are backing them up at home. His letter to the cam paign committee chairman has all ready resulted in the accumulation of quite a little fund for this pur- pose. The letter itself reads:
 Phoenix, Arizona,
 April 29, 1918. Mr. H. J. Mcclung, Chairman Third Liberty Loan, Phoenix, Arizona.
 My Dear MT. McCIung: You will find enclosed my check for S5, to start fund for the purchase of copies of Phoenix newspapers con taining the list of subscribers to the Third Loan. The papers to be mailed direct to each and every Arizona boy serving his country in the army or navy for democracy, making the supreme sacrifice with his life, perhaps, for the assur- ance that we here at home may have this great country of ours to enjoy.
 It will give those who are soon to go lover the top" a good idea of those who are trying to sneak under the fence. Respectfully, (Signed) JO. E. RICHARDS.

The Size of Newspapers

A writer in the Editor and Publisher opposes
 proposition to limit the size of newspapers in keep ing with limitations which the war has forced upon other industries. the newspapers cut in two the print paper shortage would be met and men would be released for other service. The writer makes a point of the that about half the text matter of daily and Sunday papers is devoted to news and feature matter of the war; thus assuring to the ernment the fullest cooperation of all the people in the great national task"
 But is this so? At any rate, it remains to be proved that all the stuff printed under the head of "war matter is of any value. A part of it has without doubt been of great value Without the papers, the seectve draft law would have fallen short of complete So would all of the Liberty Loans the Red Cross appeal and would every other great effort that required the direct and personal cooperation of the people.
 But we may ask whether the service of the newspapers would been equally effective if they had devoted only half much space less Tn this work as in all work, it is quality and not bulk that counts. We think that short ncisive appeals would have been even more effective than longwinded lucubrations which in many cases were concocted with the main idea of filling space. The average newspaper reader is dsgusted with the ob- vious argument He wants to be fully informed but he does to be reasoned with If he is im- pressivey told what is needed that is enough but he cannot be made weary and impressed at the same time. Weariness out im~ressions
 As to news there cannot too much of it if it is information and reliable That what srs the reader to action, and not comments on the The newspapers should be big enough to carry all the and if they not now big enough they should be made bigger, for in publishing the news the newspapers are engaged in a public service
 But think that most of the war features" might be dispensed with with profit, both to reader and publisher There has been a surfeit of it.
 Space should be cheerfuly given accounts of all activities but the volume of this space should be determined by who trained to a knowledge of space values and should left to those whose chief ambition is to occupy space. By this sort of conservation believe the newspapers will be in helpful cooperation with the government, just as the food savers are.

Local High Wins at Ellsworth

Coach jim Richards high school
quint showed it's superiority over
Ellsworth high by defeating the
latter on their own home floor by
a margin even greater than that of
the local victory here couple Of
of weeks ago. The first score was
1918. Last Fridays game ended
AZ to 9.
Carolan and Quinn manned the
heavy guns, the former shooting s
ringers and free shots, while the
latter made 6 double counters. Sew
eral Of Quinns' shots were long ones,
from about the center of the large
floor.
Ellsworth fans centered tn e r
hopes upon their captain, Rice, but
Preston not only kept his lanky OPP
ponent from scoring, but g e d
three himself. The guard work of
Scott and O'Connell was great, the
former getting into the score col
umn with two baskets.
Ellsworth only scored three field
shots; two by Boles and one by Oh
son. Three free goals brought their
total up to 9.

ShermanS Lose to
Red & White

A big crowd of basketball fans
sure had it's fill of thrills at the nor
NAL school gym Monday night, when
the Kruegerites broke up The Sher-
mans run of Is straight victories
with a 26 to Is defeat.
The teams were just as evenly
matched as the score indicates. 1t
was several minutes before either
team scored. The visitors were
first, with two free throws; then
Reed made the first field basket,
and from that point till almost the
close of the first half there was but
one or two points difference, and
most of the time the tally was even
up. Within two minutes of the end
of the first period the Shermans got
/ by with run of luck on long shots,
and when the pistol doomed they
had 1877 lead.
River Falls came right back at
them in the second period, and in
two minutes held a 1-point lead.
From then on to the end first one
and then the other held a single
point advantage, Reed scoring the
winning basket with a long shot
from near the center of the floor.
The crowd was in such continu-
al uproar that the referees whistle
was completely drowned out. The
playing was so spectacular that ev-
cry basket, whether by friend" or
foe" was greeted with deafening
applause, we'll earned by every play
er on the floor.
In game replete with brilliant
individual plays, as we'll as perfect
team work, it is hard to single out
any one player for special mention,
but in combining an iron defense
with spectacular offense, Hawley,
guarding Devine and scoring equal
ly with the speedy forward, appears
as the leading feature of a truly
wonderful game.

''Norval McGregor, who p S
the leading part Of Father Junipero
Sierra in John Steven McGroaty $
Mission Play at San Gabriel. is an
accomplished actor Of the old school,
with a faculty Of adapting his eff
forts to modern conception of the
role.
In his Interpretation Of the char
q er OF the revered president
founder Of the California missions,
Mr.. McGregor is called upon to sus-
tain interest in a story W V e n
around h earliest incidents OF
CALIFORNIA; history. Apart t m
.histrIonic requirements, the memo
rizing of the intricate and difficult
speaking parts is worthy Of great
tdibute.
Mr.. McGregor's Legitimate stage
record is traced back to the days
when he supported such well-known
stars Rose Coughlin, Jeffries
Lewis and Maude Granger. In re-
pertoire he was co-starred with Ia
net Waldorf under the direction of
Ada Dow-Currier. who is credited
with having brought out Julia Mar
