MORALES BORDER LINE EVENTS SEEN TODAY AT STRAND THEATER

The meeting of Governor Campbell of Arizona and General Obregon and Governor Borquez of Sonora at the re- cent monster celebration at Nogales will be featured in a special film which the Strand will screen today and to- morrow. The meeting is of especial interest to Phoenix people. not only from the fact of the identity of the principals, but that it was filmed by Robert Turnbull, a former Phoenix man whose career as a cinematog- rapher has attracted the attention of the entire film industry. The print is especially clear and distinct, and re- veals in detail the various incidents of the celebration. It reviews the ar rival of Governor Campbell and his party, the reception, and the parade, the concerts, and the celebration and barbecue. It was an affair in which Nogales, Ariz., as well as Nogales, So nora, participated and the views of the surrounding country form no mean part of the general excellence of the production. The entire production is in 5000 feet, divided into practically three parts, the first thousand feet bringing to the screen the meeting of these noted men, the second thousand feet the views Of the celebration. and the remaining thousand feet is com posed Of the latest and most authentic views of Mexico City. The attraction will hold the screen for two days only and will be shown in addition to the regular Strand program, which fea- lures Marguerite Clark in "A Girl Named Mary and the Paramount magazine with the Pathe News.

REPUBLICAN NEWS|ES
 HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC

A possible temporary shortage of watermelons on the Phoenix market yesterday may have been caused by crowd of 100 Republican newsboys and carriers who celebrated their annual watermelon picnic at Eastlake park, during which nearly a ton of melons was consumed. Newboys from Tempe, Mesa, Chandler Peoria, Glendale, Gil bert and Phoenix took part in the slaughter which began after a sports program at o'clock with the cutting of 50 melons as fast as the boys could wrap themselves around them.
 pr. T. J. Cummins superintendent of the state hospital, and F. W. Smith have made themselves solid with the newboyS. When they heard that The Republican was about to stage one of it's watermelon picnics. the two men offered to furnish the necessary sub stance from the fields of the hospital.

 bumper crop.
 The melons were kept on cold stor- age for 24 hours previous to the picnic by W. F. Schnebley, distributor for
 'Kremal," and Tom Higley, manager of the Rose Tree.
 The first thing presented for the en- tertainment of the boys yesterday was a program of sports which was headed by bicycle race starting in front of i The Republican office and ending at
 the scene of the picnic. This speed event was won by Francis Perry. Rob
