GEORGE WALSH AT
 EAGLE THEATER TODAY

Smiling George" Walsh begins two days of romping across the screen of the Eagle Theater today. George comes here in his newest William Fox vehicle. "The Kid Is Clever" story which has a thrill and a laugh in ev- cry foot of film.
 The athletic star takes the role of Kirk White. a young American who cans find enough excitement in life. His father sends him aboard a ship with a motion picture company which guarantees to. provide the proper amount of spice. Kirk overhears.
 When things begin to happen on that ship, he thinks the cinema com pany is to blame. But they missed the steamer and a band of Mexican revolutionists are the cause of the trouble
 Of course there's a girl in the plot, and she is in love with Kirk.
 'The Kid Is Clever" is George Walsh's first production under a new director. Paul Powell. and it more than maintains the swift pace of other George Walsh pictures.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-12-22

tax levy was approximately S150,0OO about the same amount was raised by the state road levy which is subject to expenditure jointly by the county supervisors and the state road depart. ment Just how much of this money has been already used will not be known until the reports are made up for the present calendar year and which will be presented when the new board is organized.
 Supervisor Roberts said that from San Simon west for several miles the road is in very bad condition and it is his idea to look after the real bad places first and then take up oth- CT sections along the adopted trunk line where they may be found neces- sary. Considerable work is needed out of Wilcox and between that town and the lake. Across the lake the grade has been made, but it. needs some kind of surfacing, as the forma- ton in time of rains becomes so slick that it is hard to hold a vehicle on it.
