Got His Receipt.

Humorous incidents in connection
with the war are not yet exhausted,
and Ian Hay gives this one in his
latest book, ''The Last Million" in
connection with the capture of a viii
lage from the Germans. A detach-
ment of infantry arrived at the village
only to find that tank had beaten
them by four minutes In the race to
the market square. The usual young
officer was in charge, and when the
major came along he handed the vii
lage over to his superior officer, and
then shyly asked for something to
show, ''just to show, sir, that we were
here first" The major thought he
could fix that, and sOlemnly wrote out
a receipt: Received from the officer
commanding British tank Bing Boy

Tom Mix Stars at Ramona

Tom Mix in The Daredevil" closes his engagement at the Ramona today. This stirring story of adventure and dangerous stunts finds this famous star performing the most exciting feats of his career. The story was written, directed and is acted by Mix. and that it is an excellent portrayal of his idea of a thriller goes without saying.
 The Mix picture gives way tomor- row to The Toreador.' without ques- ton the most unique film to ever play Phoenix. It is a vivid picture record of the Plaza del Toro in Madrid dur ing the holding of big bull fight meet, in which the greatest matadors in the world are seen in competition. Gaona, Gallito and Belmonte, world renowned, each kill two bulls during the ex- hibition, which contains remarkable close ups of the Spanish national pastime. It is the first picture of these events to ever reach America and should prove one of the best attrac- tions ever to play the city.
 The Ramona announces that this un- usual attraction will be screened with out advance in prices.

Married Lifep at Columbia


 Phoenicians who may happen to be either in the incipient or advanced stages of a matrimonial mix-up should not fail to see Married Life" playing at the Columbia theater today and to- morrow. This picture is a guaranteed cure for the grouch and will make you think that your home is the happiest place on earth. You'H never again think that your husband, or your wife, as the case may be. has a horrible dis position after you've seen Ben Turpin as a reckless Romeo in Married Life ," Ben is a shining light as a football near hero, but when he essays the leading role in an amateur melodrama playing Romeo to the sfother man s wife's' Juliet, Ben simply outdoes him self. The "other man" attends the re- hearsals, although he is not invited to do so, and no one should consider it at all strange when at the 953rd kiss a piece of stage scenery falls upon the Iuckless Bens unsuspecting head. Things happen right along after that.

On the grounds of lack of jursidic- tion. Justice Charles DeSaIes Wheeler of the East Phoenix precinct yester- day refused to conduct a preliminary examination in the criminal libel ac- tion against John o. Dunbar publisher of Dunbar's Weekly. Refusal to con- duct the examination was vigorously protested by the defendant and his attorney, Fred c. Struckmeyer.
 Atty. Gen. Wiley F.. Junes appears as the complaining witness in the action which is based op-an article appearing in the Dunbar publication of the Sep tember f issue. The attorney general alleges that the article was written With intent to injure him publicly and to impeach his integrity and virtue
 Justice Mckee of the West Phoenix precinct, before whom the case had it's inception, had transferred the action to Justice Wheler's court because he was going on a vacation Monday morning, September 13, was fixed as the date for the hearing but when the case was called, County Attorney l.. M. Laney protested on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction and was sustained by the court
 Justice Mckee, it is understood, will cut short his vacation and return to Phoenix Wednesday morning to con- duct the preliminary hearing at that time
 George Purdy Bullard. first attorney general under statehood and former prosecuting attorney of Maricopa county, has been retained as attorney to represent Wiley F. Jones in the ac- ton.

REPUBLICAN MOMENTS LEAGUE PROGRAMMES FOR FALL CAMPAIGN

A reorganization of the Republican Women's league was affected at a meeting held in the K. of P hall last night under the following plan outlined by Mrs. J. l.. E. Alexander. chairman:
 The purpose of this organization is to secure complete registration of Republican voters 10 stimulate inter est in political affairs and to educate and inform women voters on the pHoper use of the ballot, the initiative and referendum measures to be voted upon and other matters of political inn portance."
 Senator H. B. Wilkinson. state chairman of the national Republican ways and means committee. outlined to the meeting plans of financing the Re publican campaign.
 The great object of the ways and means committee is to allow every one to contribute to the camDaign rather than to obtain funds from restricted sources he explained. adding that it was generally believed this method would create a greater common party interest. He said arrangements had been made with the national commit tee whereby Arizona is to raise a total national and state quota of S30 900, one-half of which amount will be re- turned from the Republican national campaign fund for state campaign pur- poses. The quota for Maricopa county was given as $7500.
 Republican campaign expenses in Arizona will probably exceed the quota designated" was the opinion Of Mr. Wilkinson, but if the state shows a readiness to meet it's obligations in the national Republican campaign, the na- nonal committee will arrange the means for state Republican nominees to carry on their campaign
 The great purpose of the Repub- hcan party today is: Clean men clean lyy elected was declared by the speaker.
 Better representation for women par ty workers on the Republican central committee of Maricopa county and the Republican central committee of Ari- zona Is asked in the following resolu- ton which was passed unanimously:
 Whereas, we realize that the priv ilege of suffrage makes the responsi- bility for good government equally as great for women as for men. and
 Whereas, We also realize that under the present system of organization of the Republican county and state cen tral committees of Arizona women have never had a proportional repre- sentation with men, and
 Whereas, in view of this fact we feel that the political value of Republican women has been reduced to a mini mum,
 Therefore, be it resolved, that we the Republican Women's league of Phoenix, recommend to the Republican central committee of Maricopa county and the Republican state central com mittee of Arizona that a proportionate number of women be appointed mem bers of their respective bodies with full power to vote and act as such:
 And we further recommend that this organization, being the representative

"The Sea Wolf" at Strand

George H. Melford's masterpiece, "The Sea Wolf" the perturbation of Jack Londons world renowned TO- nance of the sea, continues as the Strands attraction, where it will re- main over Wednesday,
 From the point of realism and spec tacular treatment, 'tThe Sea Wolf" as presented in this Paramount Aircraft special reached the very pinnacle of success. -'The Sea Wolf has been made in pictures several times and several stars have attempted the lead ing role, but it remained for Melford to strike the true note of realism that underlies the written text, and the re- suit has been highly satisfactory and very exceptional picture. The big scenes include the ramming of a ferry boat by an oceangoing liner, the con- sequent confusion and panic of the passengers, the rescue of the girl and the landsman by a sailing boat that proves to be a veritable hell on the water and over which "the wolf rules with a rod of iron. From then on the action centers around this strange craft. and some of the biggest scenes yet introduced to picture followers fol- low in rapid succession.

 And we further recommend that q committee representing this body be appointed by the chair to present these resolutions to the Reuublican central committee of Maricopa county at it's next meeting, Sept 21 and to the Re- publican state central committee of Arizona at it's next meeting, Sept. 27, requesting that favorable action be im- mediately taken.
