PHOENIX ATTORNEY
 WED ID DENVER BRIDE

Here is a wedding announcement distinctly different. Here is the news of the marriage of a prominent couple yet reams will not be devoted to the beauty of the bride nor the chic cos tune she wore at the ceremony. The story will also be unique in.that it will give space to tho man she married rather than to the hride-even going so far as to omit her name.
 Joseph E. Morrison, one Of the best known members Of the Maricopa bar association and considered one of the leading legal lights of the state, was married in Denver on Tuesday, ac- cording to word received here yester- day. Mr. Morrison has lived in Ari- zona for Q number of years. among the positions of prominence held by him being that of United States attorney. He is at present engaged in private practice in this city.
 When word of his marriage reached here yesterday the rumor was con firmed by R. E. Morrison at Prescott. Mr. Morrison stated over the phone that he had received Q telegram from his brother from Denver in which he announced his marriage, stating that he was bringing his bride home."

ID LECTURE ON WHAT HORSES AND DOCS DID TOWN THE GREAT.WA

What Horses and Dogs Did to Help Us Win the War" is the subject upon which George Wharton James, noted writer and lecturer, will lecture in con- junction with Stereopticon views at the Trinity pro- cathedral tonight at s o'clock. Special seats will be reserved for the Boy Scouts and the general public will be welcome to avail them selves of the remaining seats.
 In commenting upon the presenta- ton of this Illustrated lecture, Dean Scarlett, pastor of the Trinity pro cathedral, said:
 "Boys and girls are always inter ested in horses and dogs, and anything that will add to their interest and make them more kind and thoughtful in their treatment of them is beneficial. Few people, except those who have made a special study of it, know the wonder ful part these animals performed in the great drama of the European war. To show the fact that horses and dogs have the power to reason, to eXtol their loyalty, bravery, faithfulness, devotion and courage, Dr. George Wharton James has gathered together a large number of beautifully colored slides and the stories which accompany them Some of the incidents are so remark able and the work performed by the dogs so astonishing that one might well disbelieVe them were they not related on undoubted authority"

PIMA INDIANS ARE ID
 HOLD BIC ROUNDUP

A rodeo on a grand scale, larger than most people have ever seen, will be offered beginning a week from next Monday on the Pima Indian Teserva- tion. No doubt most of the tourists who will yet be in the city and the valley will be there to see what great cattle rund-up is really like.
 The Pima Indians will then begin the gathering of their cattle, several thousand head of them, on a territory 20 miles wide and 40 miles long. The roundup on the east will begin at Hansen's Junction and will extend to the mouth of the Gila. The corral will be a short distance from St. Johns Mission. Some 200 or 300 Indians will take part in it. The Indians are al- ready working their ponies and ex- pect to have about l, 300 for sale.
 Several persons in the society set who have been informed of the round up have thought that it may be con- verted into a means of interesting en- tertainment for eastern and northern friends who will have some thing more to talk about when they get back home.

LACK BUT S4.000 T0F|LL QUOTASOF DENOMINATIONS
Individual Church Drives In Arizona Nearly Com pleted But Citizen Divi- sion Still Far Behind the Goal

Arizona lacks only s4,00O of realizing the full denominational quota of $255,000 assigned for the Interchurch World Movement financial campaign, according to reports received at stats headquarters here yesterday. J O. Sex son, state director, said yesterday that if was possible the full denominational quota already has been reached, as all churches of the state had rot reported yesterday.
 Bartists. who are out for five-year budget and consequently have the largest quota, are leading the state in ,he amount subscribed in this cam paign. Tine Disciple church is second ia the list, while the Presbyterian and Congregational churches both are ready to hurdle over the finishing tape with full amounts subscribed.
 Best reports from the campaign which is being conducted among citi- zenS who are not church members, come from Douglas, where Sl,333 was obtained from this source. Although Director SeNson sent inquiries to every county director in the state concerning the citizenship drive, few detailed re- ports were sent in yesterday. He at tribuued this to the attention which is being concentrated by the churches upon their denominational quotas.
 Citizen Drive Suffers
 Arizona, nor any other state, is reaching the quota assigned in the citi- Zenship division" he said yesterday. Even those who are not members of any church are being called upon to subscribe to the drive through some particular denomination instead of through the channels assigned for citi- zenship subscriptions. In some cases this is due to an erronouS impression that the citizen division is working for a special fund. The citizens division has it's financial goal for which it is striving in exactly the same manner and for the same purpose that the denominational campaign is being con-

ZION OUTBREAKS ARE
 NOW FREE FROM DEBT

Members of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran church have just completed a drive in the congregation to raise the funds necessary to pay the debt rest ing on their church building on Ninth avenue between Adams street and Woodland avenue. The amount to be raised was 1,450, and the members re- sponded so literally that the full amount has been subscribed.
 This debt constituted a loan from the synodical church extension fund. and thor c was no demand or even re- quest from the synodical officials that this money be paid at this time, but the members felt that the time had come to return the money and to give others the benefit of it as the church extension fund is a revolving fund, being loaned to small congregations undertaking building operations, with out interest, with the understanding that the money be returned when they are financially able to do so.
 The local congregation erected it's church building not quite two years ago. and it also possesses a new par sonage erected on the lot adjoining the church last summer.

WHY BRIDAL ORANGE BLOSSOMS

Various theories have been given re- garding the use of orange blossoms as bridal ornaments. The custom Is sup posed to have been brought to Europe by the crusaders from the East, the Saracen brides being accus- toned to wear orange wreaths at their marriage. To this objection was raised that although the orange tree was brought to England as early as 1290, it was long before there was any real cultivation of it even in green houses.
 A second theory is that orange blos-
