 THE CENSUS BUREAU

Failure of many Phoenicians to re-
 port to the census bureau the encum-
 brances on their homes has brought
 forth a letter from H. NJ. Steuart,
 director of the bureau, to the cham
 Der of commerce in which he de-
 clars that this information is im- portant, especially if this city desires the completed census report to be in dicative of true conditions here, and asks that cooperation be afforded the bureau in gathering the desired data The letter follows:
 .sThe census law requires the di-
 rector to collect statistics concern l ing the number of farms and homes that are encountered and the amount | of the encumbrance thereon. The l enumerators who were employed in 1 the rural districts collected this data l for the farms, but it was imprac- ticable for the enumerators In the cities to secure reports on this sub- feet; therefore, circulars similar to the enclosed have been sent to all persons reported by the enumerators as owning city homes subject to en- cumbrance.
 "The residents of some cities, how ever, evidently do not appreciate the value of statistics showing the ex- tent to which private homes are sub l feet to encumbrance and have neg lected to reply to the office inquiry | I regret to have to report to you that i this is the case in your city We
 have mailed to your citizens circular l letters on this subject but thus far

JACKIE COOGAN IN
 PICKS BAD BOY'

The long -heralded production, '.Peck's Bad Boy,'' with lovable little Jackie Coogan in the stellar role, will be the feature offering at the Strand theater for four days, com mencing it's engagement this after noon.
 As the mischievous lad who makes lot of trouble for his Pa" and sets a whole town "by the ears" Jackie delightful and amusing impersona- tion than that which brought him fame and fortune in Chaplin's "The Kid.''
 "Peck's Bad Boy" is an adaptation of the works of the late Governor George Peck. The sub- titles were written by that inimitable humorist, Irwin s. Cobb.
 Appearing in support of Jackie in this latest photoplay is an excellent cast which includes Doris May. Wheeler Oakman, James Corrigan, Lillian Leighton, Raymond Hatton, Charles Hatton and Baby Gloria Wood.
 The production was recently given its Broadway premiere at the Strand theater in New York, where it was a sensational success. Critics were unanimous in their praise of the six year old star and his first indepen- dent production for release by Asso- ciated First National.
 There has been perhaps no picture in the past ten years with the pos sible exception of "The Kid" which has been so widely discussed and at tended as "Peck's Bad Boy" It em- bodies everything that an entertain ment should have. It has the quaint humor that made Gov. George Peck s Bad Boy a national classic. It has the appeal that growing children have for all who love the natural things of life and it is so full of pep that it takes two sittings to get all the laughs that Irving Cobb, the great humorist has injected into the sub titles of this truly remarkable comedy drama.
 For this occasion and in order that no child may have to miss Peck S

figures Carter is a good tough boy who can hit with either hand. But Alger can hit just as hard and is just as tough if not tougher. And Moore says he is going to surprise the wise ones Friday night. He predicts a victory for Alger before 10 rounds, but agrees that it will be a hard earned yictory.s
 Alger has been fighting about two years and in that time has partici- pated in 35 bouts, losing two deci- sions. Seventeen of his victories were gained via the knockout route. He is 19 years of age and tips the beam at 13S pounds. Moore says he has never been forced to make weight, but he can do less than 13S.
 Moore has been handling Alger since he started in the fight game and he has developed one of the best youngsters in the state. His bout with Carter tomorrow evening will determine whether or not he is ready for fast company. Moore says he is he says Alger is in superb condi- ton after a hard course of training. Yesterday he worked Is rounds and covered miles on the road finish ing as fresh as when he started. He is hitting harder than ever and his training has perfected a defense that will stand him well when he meets Carter.
 If Billy can get over Friday with a win he is destined to break into fast company with grand rush. Carter has battled some of the best light weights in the country and the few defeats chalked against him have been wiped out in return bouts. He knows the game and the boy who defeats him has the makings of a real fighter.
 Mack Spaw will reach Phoenix this morning for his bout with Battling Scotty an event that rivals the main go for interest. Scotty has been out of the ring for several months and the announcement of his come back will interest the sport followers in the valley.
 Ira O'Neil and Fighting Beaver over the six round course opens a way for a kayo. Nothing like giv- ing the boys a chance to do some thing and if they can't get away in six no use trying any longer.
 The curtain raiser will be arl- nounced tomorrow if Tyler's op- ponent feels equal to the task.
