doctoring the baseball instead Of the

effect as rosin, only 1t isn't as sticky.

pitchers using dope on the ball. Then,
when they found that the general lam

HIT TAPE FIRST

Earl Eby, the great Penn mill
er, hasn't any patience with a
fellow who devotes the most Of
his thinking to the time record,
instead Of winning the race.
"Give me the runner who can
win the race" says Eby. "Tlme
is a secondary matter. Beat the
other fellow to the tape and
you have accomplished the real
purpose of any race"
Running against time is not
sport.
Racing is competition between
individuals. If you beat the 9TH
er fellow, the time takes care
Of itself.

LAWRENCE COMPANY
 ! MAKES ANOTHER HIT | IN COMEDY DRAMA

After several successful farces the Del Lawrence players presented at the Elks theater last evening a comedy drama, Kathleen of Kil- dare,'' which gave Wilma Steck an- other opportunity to show her win someness and versatility and the company as a whole an opportunity standard which had been set with it's first performance.
 Honors again go to Wilma Steck, who with a winning Irish brogue and a smile forced her way not only into the surroundings of her rich hus- bands home but also into the hearts of her audience. There is a real plot to eKathleen of Kildare" and Miss Steck brought out the story in vivid and humorous fashion that carried the play to her audience without the loss of line. In this she was ably seconded by Del Lawrence, who gave perhaps the best presentation since his coming to Phoenix, and whose de- lineation of the character of hus- band who is struggling with a wife who has soul" to take care of was almost perfect. The part of tht soulful wife was taken by Ida Mat Coke, who never looked prettier thar she did last evening, and who was : clever and convincing foil for Mis- Steck.
 The story of the play is simpl
 one, but one that is well worth tell l ing and which, despite few near tragic moments, is witty and cleve ] enough to make it thoroughly enter 1 taining. Victor Gillard, who wa
 rather the villain and who had th
 chief part in showing the soulful
 wife that she needed a spankin
 rather than another husband, go the most there was out of his lines which is what Gillard usually doe.
 and so materially helped the pla
 along. Jay Allard and May Robert.
 one as a young husband and th
 other as real sort of a mothe even of a woman with soul, also con
 tributed in good measure to the sue cess of the drama.
 Kathleen of Kildare" is well wort
 seeing, as was testified to by capacity house last evening. It clean, witty and fast enough to kee the audience in continual expectanc It will continue during the week, wit the usual Wednesday, and Saturda ] matinees.

STATE OFFICIAL AND
 ATTORNEY SPEAKERS
 AT LEAGUE MEETING

Look to fundamentals rather than pick at superficial matters" was the advice given by Judge c. A. Davis at a Law Enforcement league meeting in the First Methodist church yester- day afternoon. His admonition came after Dr. H. A. Hughes had declared he was very much dissatisfied with the seeming settlement of the dance hall question.
 '4The fight against the dance halls is not over" Dr. Hughes declared "They cannot be camouflaged as clubs and continue to operate"
 Judge Davis called attention to the fact that the desire to dance was in- herent in the human race and de- clared that to overcome the tendency toward this form of recreation would require the training of future genera tions.
 "The Law Enforcement league should look at these matters in 6 broad way" he declared. with the ad- vice that the fundamental purposes of the league should not be to picl out comparative trivialities. Attorney General W. J. Galbraitf pointed out that public opinion wa. dominating factor in the enforce ment of laws.
 Personally I regard the dance halli as minor problems in comparison with some of the evils which serious 1 ly threaten the community" the at. torney general declared, and told hoy l the welfare of Arizona is beinl threatened by an ever increasin; number of drug addicts
 Tt is necessary that the public co operate with law enforcement off cials to curb this traffic in morphine cocaine. heroin and other habit-form ! ing drugs" he said, adding that prac tically every drug addict eventuaIl l became a criminal.
 i Announcement was made that D1 R. B. won KleinSmid, president of tn University of Arizona, would addres
 the meeting next Sunday.

By Charles M. Morgan, .cretarY. Orqanization Comm ittee


 The market for Pima cotton must be broadened. New uses must be de- velopeG. New channels of marketing must be sought and followed up. An attitude of mind must be developed with the public so that whenF the automobile driver goes to buy a tire he will insist on one whose base is Pima cotton
 The public must be educated to the fact that a shirt or a dress of cotton material woven from Pima cotton will outwear one from short cotton more than three to one, so that when they go to the store to buy they will ask for cloth or for garments made from cloth that is woven from Pima cotton.
 This will be the job of the adver- Using and publicity department of the new Arizona Pimacotton Growers.
 By creating a public demand for material woven from local cotton by judicious advertising and publicity, this department will make it easier for the sales department to interest more mills in the use of the cotton
 The sales department of the organ iZation will be better able to interest the mill owner than has the indi- vidual grower, for the simple reason that the organization he represents will be able to guarantee an ade- quate supply, something the grower | cannot do, no matter how big a pro- ducer he may be.
 Feeding the Market Another advantage too big to be ! overlooked that the organization vii have over the individual producer trying to market his crop, is thai ! the aGSOniat l., | portion of the crop, will be in accur. ate touch with market conditions, the state of the demand and the relation 1 of the supply to this demand, and vii | be able to feed the supply to tht market in such a manner that tn, demand always will be keen, and a no stage will the market be offered more than it can absorb at fai prices. This was well illustrated b, the experience of the bean groweri or California, who, after their marke had been apparently ruined by tn l importation of Oriental beans, man 1 aged by careful merchandising. aided by good advertising. to sell thei beans at profit regardless of tn excess supply.
 l Under the system which has beel l in vogue, the numerous individua 1 growers or .COtlOn nave 1OfCeQ IO much of the staple on the market a l the same time, repeatedly, so that il l effect they were bidding against eacl other, and invariably under any bu abnormal conditions such as pre- vailed last year, simply ran the pric down and defeated their own pur poses.
 It is a noticeable fact that tn first year the California raisin grow CTS were strongly organized they sue ceeded in getting more than twic the price of the previous year, whic has increased to ten times the ol price last year, and at the same tim they have created a demand that ab I sorbs more than three times tn quantity produced ten years ago.
 Business Cannot Combine
 Business men, large producers c natural or manufactured product for many years have been endeavor ing to combine their efforts at dis tribution, so that they might marke their products in a manner to ampl ] supply all markets and not foo any market.

HONOR THE PIONEERS
 WHO DID SO MUCH FUR STATE, WOMAN URGES

Typical of expressions from all over the state on the pioneer reunion which begins here tomorrow Is the following letter from Mary Fora PIatten, secretary of the Pioneer as- sociation of Prescott:
 Williams, Ariz.,
 April s, 1921. Editor The Republican
 Have read your paper of the meet ing of pioneers from all over the state, and want to say as pioneer myself and also as secretary of the Pioneer association of Prescott that Phoenix showed the right spirit when it helped call the pioneers together. I would like to meet with them at this gathering, but cannot. but hope to meet some of them at Prescott In July.
 We all know what the pioneers of | this state have done, and, most or all, they stuck to the state no matter how conditions were. They should be eH- ! tended the thanks of the people ot l the state and made more over than | has been. Here is a little verse think would suit them: 1 Have you noticed somehow How the years go slidin' past? And you get to looking backward, Sort O wistful toward the last? How them is now yours neighbors l Don't stand a ghost of show | When it comes to a comparison To the folks we used to know? Where are they all, wonder. All these happy old time folks, ' That made this life worth living | With their friendships and theil

 Well. Iask for nothing better. ] When it comes my time to go, Than a ticket that will take me To the folks I used to know. 1 MARY FORD PLATTEN-

STATE ID TAKE UP OUTSTANDING WARRANT NTSTODAY
Registered Warrants To
 Amount Of 1,150,000
 To Be Paid From Funds Available This Morning

All registered state warrants now outstanding will be paid today, it was announced yesterday by George Err hardt, deputy state treasurer, on re- ceipt of a telegram from State Treas urer Raymond Sarhart in Chicago that funds would be available this morning. While the warrants will be cashed whenever they are pre- scented, interest on them will stop to- day.
 The announcement that outstand- ing registered warrants on all state funds are to be paid at once will come as welcome news to hundreds of merchants and state employees who have been unable to cash warrants. For some time state employees have been unable to cash their salary war rants, while merchants in various parts of the state who had accepted them also were unable toscash them Approximately s1,150,000 in regis tered state warrants is now outstand- ing. Of this amount, however. the state treasurer's office is carrying $750, 900 left by the previous admin istration. Most of the warrants have been outstanding since the first oi the year, the greater part since Feb ruary 1, because there have been nc state funds with which to cash them They carry interest at per cent. Payment on the warrants will come as the result of the issuance by the state of tax anticipating bonds to tho amount of s1 100000, authorized by the last legislature. A contract fol the sale of the bonds was signed some time ago, and last Wednesday State Treasurer Earhart left for Chi cago with the bonds. He arrived
 Saturday and signed and delivered the bonds.
 l According to MT. Earhart's wire yesterday $1.500,0 900. the proceeds O
 the bond issue, will be deposited t'
 the states credit in Chicago thi.
 morning. By drawing on this deposi
 through local banks the state will b' able to obtain funds at once to talk up it's warrants.
