Railroads have begun to increase
the number of their employees to
some extent, especially in the Far
West" the review continued, "and the
fact that building contracts have
reached a record figure for this year
promises partial employment in that
service during the autumn"
There has been steady and rea-
sonably heavy movement of agricul-
ture products to distributors and cx-
porters, the board reported. Prices
of most of these have advanced to
an extent, although drop in livestock
quotations was seen, attributed to To-
cal marketing conditions.
Textile manufacturing has been well
sustained during the month, the
boards agent said, adding that the
boot and shoe industry had been mo
tably active"
Some hesitancy still was noted on
the part of distributors to place large
orders but to offset this, large sea-

found in almost every section, appear
ed to have been based largely on the
advance in cotton prices. AS a re-
suit of the higher cotton values liqui-
dation has taken place and wholesale
and retail trade has been buoyed up,
the reports said.
Marked improvement in the credit
situation was cited by the review as
the noteworthy feature Of business
during the month, the board declaring
that "taken all in all, from finan-
cial standpoint, the month has been
in the main a period of distinct en-
couragement."
The board noted only slight in
crease in employment in the thirty
days, but added that while the end of
the harvesting and crop movement
season might tend to increase the
number of employed, this was like
ly to be offset by a growth in de-
mand for labor on the part of manu-
featuring industries.

PHOENIX GIRL ADDS ID HER SUCCESS As MOTION PICTURE STAR

Ruth Renick, known m private life as Ruth Griffen, the Phoenix girl who has found a place at the top of the motion picture ladder, has been en- gagged for the leading role in the 1921 super-production of James Oliver Cur woods "The Golden Snare" story Of the Canadian Northwest. Exteriors for this picture are now being filmed under the direction of David Hartford.
 Although Miss Renlck has achieved unquestioned success in the screen world she is quoted as being anxious to return to Phoenix on the spoken stage and p1ay-"Oh just a terribly long engagement to be near my family and friends"
 Previous to her present engagement Miss Renick delineated the leading role in the Robertson-Cole production, What Is a Wife Worth?" under the direction of Christy Cabanna- his film is now being cut and titled. Many who have been privileged to see it are enthusiastic over Miss Renick's work.
 Other than her important role in "The Jucklins," the George Melford production recently released Miss Ren- ick has essayed the leading role in "The Witching Hour,' a William D. Taylor production for Lasky and the leading role opposite William Desmond in .'The Parish Priest,'' both of which are future releases.

ARIZONA QUOTA OF
 S45,000 |S RAISED

The European relief council has raised it's quota of $45.000 in Arizona, J. E. Thompson, vice. chairman of the Arizona committee, announced yester- day. The intensive part of the cam paign ended February 12. After that date money promised came into head quarters in sufficient amount to fill the quota.
 This quota figured in human way will save the lives of 4,500 war waifs In centraI and eastern Europe. The na- tional organization of the council under the chairmanship of Herbert Hoover estimated it could save children's lives on a basis of $10 a life. There are 3,5O0,- 900 of these war waifs.
 Colonel thompson left last night for New York to report to national head quarters and to attend to business on his own account. He has an office in New York. He will be absent for three weeks. He expects to attend the in- auguration in Washington on March 4.
