Anyone who has the mistaken
idea that the life OF movie star Is
one of luxury and ease should meet
Lucy Fox After viewing this lovely
photograph of her you will probably
decide that everyone ought to meet
her anyhow. The girls who work
from nine to four in cool Office and
envy the pretty movie actresses,
however, would soon change their
minds after a day spent with Miss
Fox.
Miss Fox's services are in such
demand that she is at present ap-
pearing for the camera day and
might By day she is appearing in
the Marshall Neilan film, THE
Lotus Eater" and at night she is
playing in Pathe pictures. 1t is no
uncommon thing for her to work 16
hours a day between the two COM
panies who employ her. Wonder
when she gets her beauty sleep?

HOME PRODUCTS IRE FEAT URED
 BY ROTARY CLUB
Olive, Milling And Dairy Industries Of The Val ley Are Exploited At Yesterdays Luncheon At N. M. c. A.

A home products program featured the weekly luncheon meeting of the Rotary club yesterday, service talks being given by pr. John Dennett, IT,, on dairying, by Frank Viault on the flour industry, and by Logan Munson on the olive industry. The meeting which was presided over by Charles Wartman as chairman. was an ex- ceedingly interesting one.
 Logan Munson in telling of the olive industry of the valley said in
 The Olive Industry
 ''rhe olive was first introduced into America by the Franciscan mission aries, who planted the first trees about 17es, near San Diego, Califor- mia. They expected the newly planted yrove to yield enough fruit from which their holy oil could be made. It is interesting to know that this grove is still bearing fruit. Many years later when olives began to have real commercial value they were in troduced into Arizona, where because of the soil and climate an even richer fruit was produced. the acreage here has never been large. This is a strange fact because there are hun dreds of ncres here which are far better adapted to olives than to any other fruit, and would yield a far mora profitable and regular income

 Declaring that the dairy COW is really coming back to the Salt River valley and that the industry is being established on better basis than l formerly, pr. John Dennett. Jr.. gave brief talk on that subject. illus. trating it by a map showing the I proportion of exports of dairy pro- ducts. He said in part:
 Dairy Cow Coming Back
 There are about 25 per cent of the number of dairy cows in the val . ago. The cows here now are pro 1 ducing more butter fat than formerly. | however. The dairying business is coming back on a better basis
 AS the dairy cows are coming back they are distributed in smaller numbers. We haven't the large dairies we used to have. but they are more efficient. Alfalfa is the ideal ration for the dairy COW. It is a balanced ration We can grow alfalfa cheaper here than anywhere in the United States. There is wonderful | market for dairy supplies right at our door. the mining camps. Prac- tically all the milk in the Southwest is produced right here We are shipping fresh milk to practically every town in the state. Marketing conditions are ideal.
 Practically all the dairy products produced in the United States are consumed in this country. The ex- ports of butter are so small as to be almost negligible. We import cheese and always have. Little canned milk is exported. These figures show how much better we live in the United States than do the people of other countries.
 Tn order to bring back the dairy COW we must have the necessar, feed There also is the question how to finance it. Formerly the cream cries furnished much of the none, for purchasing the dairy cows w must have outside help in order {, bring back the dairy COW. But tn dairy COW is coming back about a fast as the necessary feed is bein produced"
