LIVESTOCK AND'
 RANGES IN ARIZONA

Unusually heavy rains have fallen over the southern and desert sections of the range district, saturating the soil and giving an impetus to the growth of winter annuals. Winter ranges have been greatly improved by the downpour and stock have suffered but little as temperatures have been moderate. Fortunately in the north where it has been colder precipitation was unimportant. Reports from near, ly all sections indicate that little feed ing of range stock will be required during winter. At this writing, We'd nesday morning, indications point to a general rain and snow tonight and Thursday.
 Crop Progress in Arizona.
 Owing to recent rains orange pick ing has been interrupted to a great extent but packing and shipping have gone forward encouragingly. All the cars necessary have been placed at the disposal of shippers enabling Ari- zona navels to reach market four weeks in advance of such fruit from other sections. A carload of large size and superior quality was started to the New York market Tuesday as an opener of the Arizona orange sea- son. Although cotton picking has been delayed by rain and some dam age done to lint there has been some compensation in the softening of bolls by the unusual moisture. Agricultur- al activities in the northern counties have closed for the season.

BANKERS VOTE FUND
 FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Further to encourage boys and girls club work it is being carried on by the Agricultural Extension ser vice of the University of Arizona, the Arizona Bankers association at it's an- nual meeting recently held at Phoe- nix voted fund of $500. This fund is to be used for achievement awards of different sorts, such as silver trophies, gold, silver, and bronze med als, and free trips to. the university. the latter to be given in connection with the regular annual boys and girls congress.
 For the past four years the Bank CTS have been voting funds which have gradually led up to the present liberal appropriation of $500. This contribu- tion to a cause dealing largely in ag- ricultural work is an illustration of the public-spirited attitude and far sightedness of the bankers throughout the state, those of the strictly mining sections being no exception.
 Arizona's most precious asset is it's raising generation of manhood and womanhood, and next in import ance are it's agricultural and mining resources. To teach the former in- telligent methods of handling the lat ter is certainly the application of good common sense and far-seeing vision. For the bankers to foster such work through the giving of prizes is highly commendable and to be gener- ally appreciated by the club workers and members throughout the state.

ssBROKEN BLOSSOMS"
 AT HANGS DEC. 9TH

The one important thing in casting the part of the Chinese poet, Chang Huan, in "Broken Blossoms" which is coming to Lang's Theater December 9, was, according to D. w. Griffith, to secure a player whose facial express ion would emphasize as fully as pos sigle that line of Thomas Burke's in "Limehouse Nights" "his love was a pure and holy thing. Even his worst enemies admitted that" It just chanced that, looking around for the right player, MT. Griffith heard that Richard Barthelmess was, for the time being, at liberty to accept the diff cult engagement.
 A college man, educated at Trinity College, Hartford, he had already worked for Mir. Griffith, who knew we'll of his abilities. MT. Barthelmess began his career as an actor for the screen in "War Brides" and 'The Eternal Sin;" though prior to his ap- pearance in the films he had done not able work in New York stock com panies. He appeared in "Bab's Bur glar," "The Seven Swans" "Rich Man, Poor Man" and "Three Men and a Girl" Nearly Married;" "The Hope Chest" and "Boots."
 The qualities of simplicity and nat uralness which he had displayed in other films suggested him as the ideal actor for the part of Chang Huan and, in order that MT. Barthelmess might get thoroughly into the atmos- phere of the part, MT. Griffith sent him from San Francisco to Shanghai, where he steeped himself in the color and beauty of the Orient. There, learning of the wonderfully kindly attitude of the Chinese toward chil- dren, he became imbued with the spirit that enables him in Broken Blos- soms" to convey the ideal love which the Chinese poet feels for the poor little bruised and broken English girl It is love without single thought or note of selfishness in it; love of pity and human sympathy that makes those who see and realize it come away from the picture with a more tender and gentle feeling toward their kind.

isI:iTs Pay for It. u.

Americans seeking for novelties in
the restaurant line may well take q
hint from the enterprising Frenchmen
who have built two tea houses high
in the branches Of a wide-spreading
tree that is the center of the many
attractions in a resort half an hours
ride from the city to Paris. The pa
irons of the resort reach these aerial
dining rooms by a set Of winding
stairs, but the meals are served
through the aid Of baskets, which are
raised from the ground with ropes
and pulleys. In order to reassure the
merrymakers in the tree-top that they
would not suddenly come down to
earth with a most decided thud, the
proprietors have had the branches re-
inforced with sturdy props that assure
sufficient support. During the war this
resort village was deserted, but now it
is resuming its former air Of gayety,
with music and dancing and plenty of
merry-go-rounds. Paris also goes to
the other extreme in cove restaurants.

Farms Arc Electrified.

An innovation in Mississippi farm
life is occurring in Pike county in the
way Of lighting farm houses and build
ings by electricity. Several farmers
from other parts Of the country have
purchased farms and moved to Pike
county during the past few weeks.
These people are now contracting
with the city of West Point for cleo
tricity on 20-mile circuit running
east and north, and after this circuit
is erected they will have city advan-
tages. This is truly an innovation for
Mississippi, if not for the south, to
have an entire farming section cleo
trically lighted and entirely linked
with Macadam roads.
