PHOENIX OPERA MAD

PHOENIX, May 9.-Phoenix has certainly gone opera mad. Last night it was American opera by Americans at the high school auditorium, and to a well filled house the Phoenix Opera club gave it's premiere performance, the vehicle being Robin Hood" and which, by the way of rendition, was robbin nobody. Of course a new or ganization of this kind cannot be ex pected to time ias first public per formance to the second, minute ol hour; and even if the final curtain said, heavy, heavy hangs over youl head" near the midnight hour, the au dience had tn satisfaction of know ing that they got the complete opera with very few cuts and got it in re markedly good presentation

BENTZ c. BRA I'D, Local Manager.

A very rsgretta bic incident was
reported a few days ago. that of a
wave of crime sweeping over Paris
in which American soldiers were
charged with having a very con-
spicuous part. Il has since de-
veloped that the crimes were
committed almost wholly by the
Apaches Of Paris. who had OBJ.
tanned by some means not now
known. come uniforms of the U.
5. service, and used them to N a sk
their intentions to rob their VIC
Tins. This explains some of the
charges. Another explanation is
the similarity which exists be-
tween the U. S. uniform and the
Australian. La come instances
the Australian soldiers were mis-.
taken for Americ ans. Hundreds
of hold.ups, come dozens of muir.
ders aud many other crimes were
safd to have been committed by
our boys who, it now develops,
were innocent Of any wrong.

WORKERS BUSY ON
PLANS FOR VICTORY
LOAN next SPRING
slet's Finish the job" VIII be Appeal
to Subscribers and Volunteers In
Last Bond Campaign.

Atlanta.-Forces are being lined up
Americas fifth war loan-the last the
public will be called upon to absorb
the early part Of April.
The decision of the Treasury De-
partment to designate the new bond
Issue as the Victory Liberty Loan"
seems to be meeting with general
favor. The name carries the thought
Of the victory of America and her al
lies on the battlefelds Of France for
the cause Of freedom and democracy.
The amount of the loan will be de-
termined by the needs OF the Treas
ury Department when the issue is au-
thorized. 1t is believed, however, 1t
will be about six Billion Dollars-the
same as the Fourth Liberty Loan The
interest rate Of the securities has not
been decided but assurances have
been given that it will be attractive
from the investory's point OF view
Let's finish the job" is the appeal
made by officials of the War Loan
organization to purchasers Of bonds
OF the previous issues and to work
ers. The county organizations arc be-
ing reassembled for the last great
effort
In a statement just made public,
Governor Joseph A. McCcrd, Of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta,
chairman of the Sixth District War
Loan Organization, emphasizes the
need of another loan.
1T was not alone the achievement
OF our soldiers in breaking the Hin
denburg line that made Germany beg
for an armistice though l would not
rob the fighters of any Of the glory, |
he said. 1t was the gigantic scale Of |
preparation in America, behind the |
army; our huge production Of arms, |
ammunition and ships; our greater |
army in training behind the firing
line, that convinced Germany it was
useless to fight any longer"
by going into it as we did, a vast |
sum was spent, but 1t brought q saw
ing in the lives of thousands of our
young men. Critics have charged the |
with "extravagance"' In
war contracts. 1t was this
determination to win at any cost
that brought the Hun to his knees
1t was economy, not only In lives but
in money we would have been COM
PEELED to spend had the war lasted
another year or two years longer"
The obligations now outstanding for
this enormous production OF material
must be met. That is the reason It
is necessary to raise more money
through bonds even though the armis-
tice has been signed. American sold
lers still are in Europe and until they
have been brought back and the bills
paid, the public's duty to the Govern
nent will not he fulflIed-the lob will
act be finished.

And you may have noticed that a hen-pecked husband isn't bit afraid of the hens when he is away from home.
 Many a husband would like to have a wife who would drive him to drink if she would also supply the drink
 When man loafs he loafs. But when woman loafs she does fancy work or. sews on something.
 When a wife believes only half what she hears about her husbanl she al- ways believes the wrong half.
 As long as the books have bindings that match the rug. a woman is quite satisfied with her library.
 Another rule is that when you have hard time getting girl to sing you have twice as hard time getting her to stop.
 A woman is party who will pay $20 for store hair and then pay s2O more for a hat that hides the store hair
 Friends with good intentions can do a man more harm than enemies with bad intentions.
 And what has become of the indus trious youth who used to get fold ing bed or rocking chair with his cigarette coupons?
 Many homely girl is distant be- cause she has heard that distance lends enchantment oNthe view About the only time wife pays any attention to anything her husband says is when he talks in his sleep. Another wonderful thing is how smart man can be in business and what darn fool he can be in love.
