SWIF I & CO. II OPEN POULTRY
 AND EGG HOUSE
New Plant to Furnish Cash
 Market for Local Produ- cers Latest Addition to Business Institutions Here

That the territory surrounding Phoe- ink has great possibilities as a center for poultry and egg production is the outstanding fact in an announcement that Swift and company is opening produce house here at 510 South Second avenue.
 Although poultry raising and egg production has not reached the high development in Arizona that it has in many eastern states, it is the belief of officials of the company that pro- duetion may be materially increased and that it may be made one of the important industries in this state if the producers are provided with daily cash outlet for their product.
 It is the plan of the company to of- fer to the producers of Phoenix and the surrounding territory the fullest cooperation to encourage the poultry and egg industry on a greater scale.
 Hear of Valley Hens
 we have been attracted to Phoenix by reports of the possibilities here and the fact that the producers are inter- ested in poultry culture" said R. L. Kennedy, manager of the plant for Swift and company.
 Swift and company is the largest dealer in poultry and eggs in the coun- try, and it has become necessary to follow the trend of production to care for the world wide demand for food products. It has for a number of years been instrumental in improving the conditions under which poultry and eggs have been marketed. As a new territory in which it was thought there were possibilities of increased pro- duction has been brought to our notice we have extended our facilities so as to locate our plants close to the cen ters of production, giving producers an open cash market for their product. This has been beneficial to producers, inasmuch as it has minimized trans porfation delays and provided market within easy hauling distance of the centers of production, thus securing 8 better product, more economically ham dled, which is of great benefit to the producers and consumers alike"
 Will Encourage Production
 It is thought the entrance of Swift and company into the local produce field will encourage a maximum pro- duction. Volume is an important tac- tor in the produce end of Swift and companys business, as well as in the other departments, as large volume of business reduces the overhead expense and enables the company to pay the highest market prices.
 Product secured at the Phoenix plant will be shipped direct to distributing houses in the centers of population, and through these houses distributed to regular retail trade.
 In shipping produce in this manner many economies in distributiye ex- penses are effected, which are of bene- fit to all interested in the industry.

 It is thought that if reunion Of the old regiment is given publicity throughout the state that more of the men will be gathered here in Phoenix than were ever in the regiment at one time.
 Plans for the reunion are to be worked out as soon as Captain Ingalls, can get together committee of former 158th men

LINGERIE STOLEN?
 MUST BE GIRL THIEF

Convinced, from the nature of articles stolen, that the burglary was com mitted by a woman, the authorities are on the lookout for a girl or woman who entered the w T. Sprowls resi- dence, 2024 West Adams street, while the family was at church Sunday eve ming.
 Dainty lingerie, georgette blouses and other finery dear to the hearts of all women were taken, while handsome jeweled Elk pin and other articles of infinitely more value were left un- touched.
 The burglar gained entrance through bedroom window and ransacked the place, according to W T. Sprowls, lawyer, whose family joined him here a few days ago. Mir. Sprowls stated yesterday that his wife and young daughters, Miss Ruth Sprowls and Miss Helen Sprowls, missed numerous arti- cles of wearing apparel. but they con sidered themselves fortunate that so many more worthwhile things had been overlooked.

 TATTOOED MAN WHO
 IS SENT T9 PRISON

Too weak to stand while the court in quired into his case, Harry Humphreys, the tatooed man, remained seated as he replied to Judge Stanford's ques- tions relative to how he worked a short change system on the local merchants
 Humphreys, who looks as if his days were not many, was bound over from the justice court day or two ago and because of his condition his case was given immediate attention. He was sen fenced to a term of one to three years at the state penitentiary, and during his term will be confined to the tuber cular ward where he will be given treatment.
 It was Humphreys wish to plead guilty and have his case disposed of, and one of his requests to the court was that his young wife be cared for. Humphreys said he was an English man, and on his body, among other emblems, is the coat of arms of Eng land.

aThe Velvet Hsnda at the Hip

The Hip announces for today the final showings of ''The Velvet Hand. the big drama in which Fritizi Brunette has appeared to such wonderful ad- vantage in the engagement of the last three days.
 Aside from being the greatest pie ture she has yet done for the screen, The Velvet Hand is by far one of the most clever mystery stories brought to the city for a long time. Its plot is a compelling one. ably handled and ad- mirably unfolded. but it is a logical one, never abandoning the real of pos sibility for the sake of sensation. There is nothing overdrawn in it's lineup of characters, although they present some of the most wonderful types seen in pictures for a long time.

Taylor Holmes at coIumbia

How a New York taxi driver gained fortune and wife by his skill as pilot through the busy thoroughfares of the great city form the principal element in the screen comedy, Taxi" starring Taylor Holmes, which will be offered at the Columbia theater for the last times today. "Taxi" provides a world of fun for the kiddies as well as the grown-ups.
 On an income of SIG, 900 year, Rob- ert Hervey Randolph hoped to marry. But the girl he had chosen tilted the young man Randolph, at the stage door of theater overhears a conver- sation between Vivien Vivierre and Duke Beamer. Bob hops out of the taxi and with blow cuts short the conversation. That is tho theme of the story that can properly be told only by Taylor himself on the screen.
 The Columbia orchestra numbers are of unusual excellence these days, the addition of Dwight Deity, noted eel loist, adding much to otherwise high class musical program. Special num- bers are being offered each evening as 8 part of the regular program and an overture between the first and second performances is alone worth the price of admission.
 Tomorrow, Nazimova in "The Red Lantern" will play a return engage ment for the one day only.

MISS JANET REID

Milwaukee, met at Merrill hall last
Friday night in conference. Among
those on the program for the even
ing, was Miss Janet Reid of this city
The Milwaukee Journal in its account
of the meeting had the following to
say of Miss Reid:
Speaking on commercial art, Janet
Reid, of the Owen studio, Chicago, told
of very artistic girl who, anxiously
awaiting her first commission, was
given an order to illustrate a PAM
phlet for bedbug exterminator COM
pany.
Another friend said Miss Reid, was
given an order to design q tomb
stone as her first order, which is not
very lively start. The worst part
is, that when you are beginning, and
are still not known, you are to take
anything that comes along or go with
out a meal or two. That is guaran-
teed to make person draw bedbugs
if necessary to get a start"
