 While the overflow of the reservo.S had been expected for several days, the actual occurance created no great en- thusiasm, the news that water was at last flowing over the dam was received with joy throughout the valley, for it meant an abundance of water for every ranch and an end to the fear of a

This is the great work of practically Christianity whic hthe Near East Relief is carrying or in Asia Minor and which all public spirited Arizonans are asked to aid.
 The Episcopal church of Arizona are planning to observe next Sunday, Feb ruary 22. as Armenian day.

PAPER BOOM
AIDSCANADA
(By Herald Leased wire.)

Montreal. Que, Jan. 1l.-Business in
creased so phenomenally on the Mon
treal Stock Exchange in 1919 as a re-
suit of the boom in the paper stocks
that there has been an unusual de-
mand for seats and a consequent
boosting of the price to new high
records.
The demand has been stimulated by
the rivalry between Montreal and
Toronto exchanges, which has led to
Montreal members giving notice of
motion to abolish the split commits
sion heretofore allowed to Toronto
brokers and the announced intention
that members of the Toronto exchange
will retaliate by lowering the COM
mission to the New York level To-
ronto brokers are evidently convinced
that Montreal will carry, for during
the past week the five available seats
on the Montreal exchange have been
snatched up. 1t is believed that en-
competitive basis the price of seats
which will now have to be bid Tor will
soon cost $4,000.

As a basic theme for his Offering,
Griffith has selected probably the

a divine Providence that answers
mothers prayers. and whether good
people get their rewards. and
whether merited punishment over
takes evil. Will the prayers of
American mothers. whose boys were
killed as a result of the world war.

motherhood of the world have Of

Hot Dollars

The movies offer few PERSONAL
ties as pleasing as that of youth
ful Charles Ray. He is featured at
Loew's Palace Theater this week in
n picture called Red Hot Dollars"
Once more he has one of those de-
lightful man-boy roles that he
plays with such wholesome aban-
don and at the same time with
such expert knowledge of screen
acting.
This time Mr.. Ray is Tod Burke,
iron moulder in Peter Cartons
works in small country town.
Tod is fond of Janet Muir, who
lives with her grandfather, Angus.

Angus Muir further complicates
matters by going into a fine rage
when he finds where Jane. has

of Gaming the millionaire. Tod and
Janet hurry after him and arrive
in time to effect a reconciliation
/ between the old feudists in a most
/ startling manner And when they
have fixed everything for the older
folks. boy and girl proceed to fix il
for themselves.
Charles Ray Is natural and en-
raging as ever, and that is enough
to insure the most exacting screen
fan an entertaining evening. His
leading woman is Gladys George, a
pretty newcomer with a wealth of
charm and ability. William Conk-
lin is the ironmaster. and Charles
Males gives a pleasing performance
in the role of Angus Muir. Mollie
