LOVE, HONOR AND
 BEHAvE" --COLUMb|A

It would seem that Mack Sennett is determined to help in reducing divorce in the world His Married Life 1t will be remembered, showing the folly of most marital misunderstanding Ben Turpin being the agent of recon ciliation. Love, Honor and Behave,
 which will be featured today at Mauk' s Columbia theater shows the folly or most suspicious. Charlie Murray being the agent in this reconciliation.
 In Married Life" it was jealousy on the part of the husband, who wrong ly suspected his wife. In Love, Honor and Behave" it is jealousy on the part of the wife who wrongly suspects her husband They are but bride and groom and this is their first quarrel. The bride, Marie Provost. appeals to Judge" Murray. whom she interrupts while he is seated in his robes at court. The suspecteu bridegroom is George O'Hara and this part of the. Sennett production is portrayed in high dis tinction. it being legitimateiy done, the roles being played straight and the whole affair carried off with dramatic power and conviction.
 Persuaded of the innocence of the bridegroom Judge Murray proceeds to relate to the unhappy pair an ex- perience of his own in order to prove that circumstantial evidence such as that possessed by the bride, is dan gerous testimony, invalid, scandalous and false. The picture here takes up Murray's narrative and immediately the beholder is plunged in sea of hilarious humor with every once in a while a cut back to the Judges" chambers showing him continuing his story to the rapidly melting bride.
 Murrays comedy finds its climax in a lions cage. One of the most thrilling episodes ever screened. The fact that the Celtic comedian really encountered the ferocious beast is apparent in the picture. No double exposure could properly yield the realism of this epi- sode which is one of the many thrills provided by MT. Sennett to supply the necessary contrast to the laughter that mainly prevails.

SECRETARY OF STATE
 LET'S OUT 13 CLERKS

Thirteen typists and clerks were thrown out of employment yesterday when Ernest Hall, secretary of state, reduced his staff. With the adjourn ment of the legislature and the taper ing down of business, due to the rush being over in the motor vehicle license department, MT. Hall found that a cut ting of the staff would not take from the efficiency of the office.
 Tt will be possible to handle the business with 8 force of eight said MT. Hall. who declared that he could recommend every attache he had re- leased. The emergency appropriation two years ago was $S000, which at the requ@ of Mir Hall was cut to S5000. The cut in the appropriation was an other cause for releasing the large number of employees. he said. They included Miss Gladys Smiley, Miss Grace Oliver, Miss Edna Doheney, Miss Ethel Fleming, Miss Osa Holden. Miss Eris Ellis, Miss Mary Chambliss. Miss Alma Nellis, Miss Florence Clark, Miss Eleanor Lyons. Miss Irma Marmon Miss Esther Loucks. and Howard c, Gear

Center street and they are worth the attention of any one for they are by far the finest gifts ever seen offered for a local dance event.
 In addition to the regular mask car miniature clay pipes, tiny shamrocks and green hats for the carnival pa irons and the entire place is to be decorated in the colors of the day Not single vestige of the old decora- tlons are to remain. Everything has been taken down and an all new color scheme is to prevail.
 If this were not enough. Walter Will lis Powell, who presides over the des- tinies of the ball room with his es- timable wife, has brought from Ire land two characteristic Erin costumes for the occasion. They will be worn simply as show costumes and will not be judged for the prizes of the even ing.
 If the dancer cannot get his money worth out of the added good things provided on that night there is still 8 sight of the elongated Powell in knick CTS. This alone is going to be ar event and the one who first distin- guishes the spare made host from the green canes on exhibition will receive a months free bath tickets at River side in January.
 The Blue Bird tonight will be the one spot in Phoenix. It will have more doing than a boy with the humps and an Ingersoll watch.

MORE LIVE STOCK ON FARMS
 OF THE SALT RIVER VALLEY
 GREATEST NEED, IS REPORT

More livestock on the farms of the
 Salt River valley is the big need at
 the present time and will continue to
 to a report made by a special com
 mittee of the chamber of commerce
 which has been Investigating some of
 the general conditions in the Salt River valley.
 A preliminary report of the crop tacreage under the Salt River project
 was submitted by General Manager Cragin yesterday at meeting of the farm dairy committee of the chamber of commerce.
 This report indicates that the alfalfa acreage, which last year was 25,00O acres, will be- increased this year to
 more than 10000 acres. The acreage of cotton which last year was 142,00O acres will be cut to 66,o00. with con
 siderable percentage of this volunteer
 cotton, some of which will be plowed
 up later and planted to grain sorghum or corn.
 An acreage of approximately 16,5OO acres is left as unsettled by the own CTS at the present time, but presum-
 ably a good percentage of this will go into Sudan grass or the gram sor- ghums. One thing is brought out by
 this report which is encouraging, and that is that the acreage under the project will be approximately the same as last year. The temporary discour- agements incident to the cotton situa- ton will not generally prevent the formers from planting some crop. As this committee looks at the situ- ation, the outlook is that there will be a great amount of feed produced here this season. While young alfalfa does
 not produce the pasturage Or tonnage that old fields produce, there will be an aggregate of many tons of hay In addition there will be large tonnage of silage crops and the grain sorghums sweet clover and Sudan grass, all of which means that in order to market lit at good prices will require great increase in livestock.
 The committee reports that con- siderable number of farmers are anX- ious to get back to dairying. and in this connection some active steps are being taken to cooperate with state Dairy Commissioner Dana and With the dairy department of the state col lege of agriculture and others with a
 view of bringing in only first class
 dairy stock.
 It is recognized now that serious
 handicap to the dairy industry at the
 time when the dairy business was at its best in the valley was the fact that
 many poor COWS were shipped in here
 and sold at a good price to farmers
 who could i'll afford the luxury of
 unavoidable COWS. Those best ac-
 quainted with the situation are deter
 mined that this shall not happen again and particularly at a time when, as never before. the farmers need the best

of cows in order to make the business profitable.
 Farmers who are in the market for cows should insist, the report says. that only the best are good enough. Not necessarily pure bred. but good high grade stuff that will produce the butter fat
 Very valuable information is con tained in the following report on dairy data prepared by the chamber of com merce:
 In 1914 there were under the Salt River project s6,9S0 acres of alfalfa which was cut for hay, and 11,369 acres used for pasturage. There were 9550 acres of cotton and 24.202 head of dairy cattle. worth an average of s61 a head. Milk brought an average of 3215 cents a pound for butter fat at the farmers gate. The following year milk prices dropped to 2s cents, cot ton acreage dropped to less than 200O acres. alfalfa for hay remained about the same and the acreage of pasture just about doubled and the number of cows increased to 31,360, worth an aV- craze of $S3 each.
 The number of cows steadily in creased to more than oO,O0O head in 1917, worth $79 each, and the average for milk was B cents. Alfalfa pas ture increased to 53.000 acres, but the acreage of alfalfa for hay dropped to about 6S,000, and cotton jumped to 23,444. In the month of September of that year the creameries of the valley paid the farmers for butter fat in milk and butter $173,375. This was lnde- pendent of the revenue .of dairymen who made butter or retailed milk and also independent of the several cheese factories that then made cheese. The production of butter fat for 1916 and I1917 has been estimated to have been about three and a half million pounds each year. These were the banner dairy years.
 In 1918 the acreage of cotton had increased to 50.000 acres. alfalfa for hay had dropped to 63,0O0 acres and alfalfa pasture dropped back to ALOUD. Dairy cattle decreased to 36.S0O, worth S56 a head. Butter fat in sweet milk was worth 62 cents. but cotton looked like easy money and lots of it, and by 1920 the acreage of this crop had in creased to 142, 900. Dairy cattle had than 40O0 acres of alfalfa pasture re- mained and the acreage of alfalfa for hay was only slightly over 25.00o acres The average price of milk paid to farmers for butter fat in sweet milk was so cents.
 The folloming table of the present acreage of crops in the Salt River valley, as furnished by General Man ager Cragin, does not include the lands irrigated under private pumping prof. ects. such as the Goodyear development around Goodyear and Litchfield, nor does it include the 21,000 acres irri- gated under the Tempe canal nor the lands in the Buckeye, Arlington and

the field which are determined to put the plan over big"
 During the next year will come the realization of what the combined drive will mean to the business man. as he will not be pestered continually with solicitors Further the few organiza- tons which are not participating this year will see the advantage before an other year is up.''
 The head quarters of the drive are in the chamber of commerce rooms, and many tags are being prepared. Before the end of the week every citizen will be tagged with the T Have Have You?" tags.
 Plan Highly Endorsed
 The united drive plan is the peace time outcome of the community chest idea which proved so efficient during the war, and the several hundred cities now using the plan highly endorse it.
 The following partial report was made at the close of business Wednes- day of subscriptions turned in by solici tors. The complete report will follow each day of the drive.

 To Continue This Morning The workers will start out again from the chamber of commerce rooms at o'clock this morning. The present misunderstanding, it was announced last night, seems to be that the combined drive is for six local char | ities. as many are giving even less | than they gave to the Associated Charities alone last year. The drive is 1 tagging and unless it goes much faster 1 it will have to be followed by a supp | plementary drive in snort time. as these six charities need and must have 1 S30,775 to function properly. | The committee in charge announced positively that the drive was being put l on solely with volunteer help. and that there is no item of expense out side of a little printing, which is being obtained at cost. Those who have not, been reached 1 by a solicitor can get :n touch with headquarters by telephone, 1649.

 Friendly Enemies" opens the en- .gagement Sunday with the usual mat slnee. This is the same play that ran city and is right now playing the larger cities at the $2.50 scale. As Phoenix was not in the list of cities to be visited by tho road company, Bran don Brothers secured the rights for a stock production. The play is a com sedy drama in which the comedy pre- dominates, yet there is a big gripping story beautifully handled and deftly told. It is not war play and it is not propaganda, but a wonderful story of patriotism, love and honor.
 The play is by the co-authors. Sam uel Shipman and Aaron Hoffman, and promises to be one of the greatest of ferings of the year. Seats may be re- Served now for any performance.

 Strand
 Billie Burke in Clyde Fitch's famous stage success, "The Frisky Mrs. John son." is to close highly successful en- gagement at the Strand this date with much credit to Miss Burke and the Paramount people who made the pie ture. The transfer of this satire, of the late Clyde Fitch, to the screen has been accomplished with much care and the offering is cleVerly done. Miss Burke is seen in the part of the Ameri- can widow, who to save her sister, sets
  Paris had been treated, in the days gone by, to some rather fast perform ances. The widow, however, kept up her reputation, and despite the go.- sips who thought that she was the ruination of the American colony. won the best catch of the season, and fin- ished with her head up. You will like Billie Burke in this, for she is really Billy Burke. She wears a lot of smart clothes and she has the time of her life romptng through this comedy. It fits her like glove and is perhaps the best vehicle she has on the Paramount program. It will make way tomorrow for Bryant Washburn in An Amateur Devil" The story of a boy who was too tame for his sweetheart. She wanted a wild man. She wanted one who stepped out and the boys father suited her 8 lot better than her sweet heart with his kickless kisses, so she threw the boy down for pap and she started something she could not finish. Gee, but that kid stepped some. He turned devil with a capital D and when he got going he made the man who originated the devil stuff look like the distributor of Sunday school literature. Here is one that has novelty all over it.
