The Woodman Circle did them selves proud at their regular meet ing on last Monday evening when they gave a sock party to the Wood men and their friends and families. It is needless to say that 1t was a grand success, and was enjoyed by all present. One of the features of the program was the presentation of beautiful Scottish dance by Mar guerite Mitchell. accompanied by MT.

The Fraternal Brotherhood

'1t was a wonderful meeting" is the expression one hears from the members, and it was. In the beauti- fully decorated lodge room filled to its capacity with loyal members, the president of Phoenix lodge No. 43, Herbert l.. Johns, called the meet ing to order. The drill team of 12 young men and women then seatsd the officers after which Supreme President James A. Batchelor and Supreme Trustee Barnett F.. Marks were introduced with honors. After the regular business of the lodge. a class of candidates, secured py the members, Was initiated.
 The address by the supreme presi- | dent which followed was clear, con- l else and forceful. His message to the members was encouraging and | left them feeling that they had | chosen well in belonging to a society | in so enviable position and inter | spersed with the discourse were live, pleasing narratives, for MT. Batch elor not only enjoys a good story himself but possesses the art of tell | ing one so that you enjoy it too, as
 was evinced by the hearty laughter i and applauce that greeted his re-
 marks. The appearance of our big,
 genial brother. F. A. Trincano, at

 assurance that MT. Batchelor would again be heard at the table is all that

Much Talent Found In Scenarios
 Submitted In The Republicans
 Contest Declares H. H. Van Loan

Any doubt as to the number and ability of amateur scenario writers of the valley has been removed by the scenario contest being conducted by The Republican and the visit here this week of H. H. VanLoan. famous screen author. Scenarios have been coming in to The Republican at rapid rate, and MT. Van Loans three days here have been devoted to a succession of ambitious writers.
 MT. Van Loan was frankly sur prised at the number of scenarios written for the contest-and then surprised again, for many of the manuscripts he looked over contained excellent plots and showed knowledge of and care in technical details. Most of all was he surprised at the interest in scenario writing shown by the
 people of the city and valley.
 In connection with the contest. Mir.
 Van Loan has given talks on scenario writing every afternoon and evening at the Strand, where his latest pie ture was shown simultaneously. Fol- lowing his series of articles on the same subject in The Republican, the talks have aroused even greater in- | terest in the competition.
 Although he has been kept busy, Mir. Van Loan is enjoying his first visit in Phoenix immensely. He has had little time to look around the valley, however, as countless callers have visited him at his hotel and he has appeared four times a day at the | theater.
 By no means all of the people who have taken advantage of Mir. Van Loans trip here to ask him about scenario writing are entrants in the

January, 1918, stocks on hand of crude petroleum were about 150,0OO,- 900 barrels. The end of the year found stocks depleted, ranging close to the 12S, ,000, ,000- barrel level. Dur ing 1919 there was not any material change and the 'ow point in stocks was reached in May. 1920, approxi- mately 124,000,00 barrels. The re- covery, however, has been rapid and stocks todayJ are not far from 1So,- 000,0O0 barrels, or the largest figure in history.
 The statistical position is ex- tremely weak and there are no in dications of any material improve ment during the winter months. The immediate future constitutes a period during which consumption is at a minimum, and this factor must be enumerated by a further marked contraction in output. There has been a great deal of propaganda rel- ative to the Mexican situation, par ticularly as regards salt water in many of the leading producing wells. I feel that this is largely the prop aganda of oil interests in the en- deavor to create a buying atmo- sphere. An official statement from Washington indicates that there is no marked basis for such a report

contest, for almost every person he has met in Phoenix has shown a lively interest in the subject. And everyone has expressed regret that he cannot remain longer. as he is leaving early this evening for Los Angeles.
 Perhaps the screen writer's most interested visitor at the hotel has been high school boy, who found Mir. Van Loan busy every day. In- terested in the youths work. Var Loan made an engagement with him for this morning.
 The Republicans scenario contest closes at p. m. December 30. and manuscripts are coming in faster every day. After going over a num- Der of them and meeting a number of writers, Mir. Van Loan predict: keen competition and excellent see narios by the winners.
