A lasting record of the start of the active campaign for the San Carlos dam in the recent meeting at Florence and what will be probably the greatest factor in cenenting public support be- hind the project are contained in nov ing pictures of the meeting and the Florence country. They are Repub- lican pictures too, made by Kunselman. The Republican staff photographer, and they will be seen in Phoenix at the Columbia theater for four days begin ming the end of this week.
 The pictures place in undying history the scenes at the big meeting where the movement for the San Carlos dam was started. And incidentally. they are the finest moving pictures ever made in Arizona After their brief showing in Phoenix they will be sent broadcast through the country and will undoubtedly prove a means of interest ing the entire nation in the Florence Casa Grande valley and it's reclamation project. Moreover, they will probably be sent to Washington to show the learned gentlemen of congress who must make an appropriation for the San Carlos dam before it can become fact just how badly 1t is needed and wanted.
 Two Big Punches
 In the moving pictures taken by Kunselman two points stand out above all others, perhaps. One is the great waste of water in the Gila river at the present time because the San Carlos dam is not already built to save the flow. The other is the pictures vivid description in action of the concerted action for the project taken at the Florence meeting.
 The pictures show the Gila river flowing by the town of Florence. They show the great crowd of 4.000 people gathered in the athletic auditorium of the Florence High school. They show the speakers address the crowd on the project, and officers of the organization that recently put over' the diversion dam on the Gila.
 Among the most interesting parts of the pictures are scenes of the South west Cotton company airplane arriving in Florence to take up a Republican representative later in the day. The diving contests ct the high school pool are shown too, and a note of comedy comes in the views of the crowd being served ice cold water from the dam. water tanks.
 Show General Scenes of Day
 Many street scenes in Florence are shown also. with virtual herds of mo- tor cars. Then there are the "close ups" of the members of the commit tee that is the executive body of the San Carlos association.
 One of the biggest punches Of the pictures comes in the showing of the signing up of 13,000 acres of land for the San Carlos project and the paying in of $7,000 for the fund at the close of the meeting
 The pictures also show the close of the auto races held during the big fete day when Florence and her people got solidly behind the San Carlos dam plan.

The Republican Was At Florence
 Sam Carlos Day

The Arizona Republican was there on San Carlos Day, she was there in force, with pep, in full re- ealia, and with plenty of equip nent.
 Being modest, The Republican dislikes to cali the attention of the public to her thorough meth ods of doing business, and of COW ering big story in metropolitan style, but there were so many an. sles to the means used to cover the San Carlos story that were never used before in the history of incorporation in Arizona that we were unable to refrain.
 To be sure, the 4,Ooo people who were at Florence will need no in- formation of this subject, they saw us there as big as life, but for the benefit of our readers who were unable to have the privilege of at- tending and taking part in the big boost for the San Carlos, here is the list:

and other features of The Republicans activity in boosting for the project
 These pictures-Republican pictures of course-will be shown here at the Columbia at the end of the week. Af- ter that they will go out to show the rest of the United States something about Arizona and its reclamation projects.
 After the showing here, before the pictures are released for national showing, scenes will be incorporated in them showing scenes of reclamation work and projects in the state. The desert before the project was com pleted will be shown. and then the farm lands and cultivated fields where the desert once was. after the project is completed. Views of the Casa Grande Valley will also be included later. showing the crop lands. the growing crops, the cattle. and what fine place the valley is generally. These later pictures will also show scenes of the ibility and the practicabiIity of the San Carlos dam site, showing it's feas- entire project.

Curious Cities of the World.

Some curious cities of the world are told about in Leslie's Weekly. Among them is the remarkable town of CurNa, Bolivia, built entirely on a curved mountain top. One of the most peculiarly located towns in the world is this one, most aptly named Curva. It is situated high in the Bolivian Andes and is entirely confined to the top of hill.
 In Patagonia, at the southern eX- tremity of South America, lumber of any kind is extremely scarce. So the town of Puerto Madyrn, S3S miles from Buenos Aires, is constructed entirely of tin and zinc. These are brought down from the capital and are much cheaper building materials than lum- Der. The houses, roofs and walls are built of metal; the fences also are constructed of it, with a wooden frame.
 The curious town of Newcastle, Ja maica, is located on the side of hill in such a way that none of the houses are on the same level, Even in the graveyard, every tombstone is higher or lower than it's neighbors,

 Followed delightful days of love and sunshine-then came the quarrel.
 All over trivial matter, too-as are most lovers quarrelS. Hereford, aston ished and heartbroken, tried to eX- plain. Madeline, proud and angry, re- fused to listen. Hereford stumbled home in the moonlight with his brief dream of love destroyed.
 Madeline nursed her pride and would not send for him. Then Mir. Langd0n sent his son on a trip to another island to be gone a week.
 Hereford held to the hope that Made line would be in a lenient mood by the time of his return.
 She. not hearing from him, became angrier than ever and would not lis ten to the promptings of her naturally generous heart.

 There was no time for Madeline to see Hereford, even if she had been so inclined, and she thought she wasn't. On the way over to San Francisco she had more time to think over the fool ish quarrel. She wished she had let Hereford explain. The remembrance of his grieved look and his sad eyes hurt her conscience and kept her from sleeping.
 q will find a cable from him when we land.' she said to herself. This thought was source of great conso- laton, and she began to be almost happy.
 When they arrived at San Fran CISCO and found no word from Here ford, she was angry with herself for having capitulated even if Hereford didn't know it.
 Hereford had lived on the hope that his sweetheart would relent and let him seXplain when he returned. which he knew he could do if she would only listen.
 The blow fell. The Driskos had left days before, and there was nos word for him. Many times afterward, when he would have been glad to again beg Madeline to listen to him he did not

ARK ANSAS LEADS STATES

Arkansas Stands First in Loans Made ill This District. With Illinois

Special to the News.

Special to the News.
 1 Little Rocw, Sept. 9-It is not gen erally known that Arkansas leads the states of this district, the others being i Illinois and Missouri, in the number of farm loans and the total amount loaned through the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis and the County Associat- ions. The total amount now loaned in the district is about seven million dol lars. It is also an interesting fact that not a single loss has been sustain ed in the state
 This provision of Democratic ad- mlnlstration for meeting the needs of the people has proven a great boon to progressive farmers in need of funds for the improvement of their property. Any farmer in Arkansas can secure a loan from the bank at 5 per cent on 34a years time, by making application to the secretary-trea surer of his local National Farm Loan Association or by applying direct to the bank for in formation.
 The authorization plan is used which means that the loan is paid off at the end of the period by keeping up the annual interest payments. A cer- tain part of the annual interest, which is lower than can be gotten elsewhere is applied to the principal which is gradually absorbed.
 However, any loan can be paid in full at the end of five years, or any time thereafter. When circumstances and conditions warrant such action, the bank may permit loan to be paid off at any time.
 l.. L. Beavers, of Montgomery coun- ty, is the treasurer of bank, in St. Louis, and there are prosperous coun- ty associations throughout the state.
 It is announced officially that the Land Bank is on a paying basis and that an ample dividend will be paid to it's stock holders by the first of the i loaned more than nineteen million dol lars in all, and it's total resources are now more than S26,O00,000, of which more than seven million dollars IS now available for loans.
 The loans made in this district are as follows:
 Arkansas, $6,799, ,S95; Illinois, $6,- O77 ,13O; Missouri, $6,479, 300.
 The loans that are being made in the state are ena bling the farmers to secure modern machinery, better stock, and better buildings, and in oth- CT ways establishing themselves more firmly as business men.

Madeline Drisko was really the hap piest girl on earth, and why shouldn't she be? She had everything to be desired, including youth, beauty and love
 The latter had come into her life only recently. and the gods had noth- ing more to bestow on her.
 Madeline's home was in New York, but she, with her brother and wid- owed mother, had gone to Honolulu on business and pleasure trip com bined
 She loved the beautiful islands of Hawaii the marvellous climate; the sea, the sky. and the mountains. There was the most gorgeous scenery. She loved the picturesque natives and the plaintiye music they played on the ukuleles. It was all very wonderful to Madeline and she was charmed with the place.
 T should love to stay here forever" she exclaimed rapturously to her mother.
 The indulgent mother smiled but shook her head "We cant remain here always. This is only memora- ble holiday"
 Then Madeline met Hereford Lang don.
 Hereford's parents were from New Fpgland, but he had been born in HenOulu His father had large busi- ness interests there, and Hereford was his right-hand man.
 Certainly fate had been very good to Madeline in bringing this great love into her life in this most romantic and beautiful country. Her mother and brother, though loath to have her settled so far from New York, were de-
