that appear to back UP that belief,

out of the woods
Well, let us see about that. To off
set the few snake and alligator stories
that some newspaper men get into
print, during an entire season, we
offer just a few clippings from one
days Florida exchanges:

'THEFOUR HORSEMEN' AT R|A[TO SATURDAY

No motion picture announcement this season has been more eagerly awaited by Phoenix than that the Rialto will screen The Four Horse men of the Apocalypse" for an en- gagement starting this comin% Sat urday.
 The film is a result of stupendous efforts put forth in the construction of single motion picture epic, a real $1 100000 production. There are 50 principals in the cast; in all. there were over 12,000 people actually en- gagged in the enterprise. There were over 125,6O0 tons of steel and mason ry used in the construction of the massive settings, more than that used in the construction of the world-fa- nous Woolworth building in New York. An entire French village was erected, each edifice complete. capa- ble of housing 5000 souls, and this only to be destroyed under the ter rife bombardment of artillery. A beautiful chateau also falls under the terrific devastation recorded in this sequence of the film.
 It require a fully equipped fac tory at the Metro studios to properly costume the production. An armory and two machine shops were used in the building operations. There were required more than 500,000 feet of raw film, nearly 100 miles to picture the production, which in its finished form is nearly two miles in length. Fourteen camera men were needed to shoot the big scenes. and at times Rex Ingram had as high as fourteen directors assisting him in the work
 Rudolph Valentino is at the head l of the male column of actors, while | Alice Terry leads the feminine con | tingent.
 The Rialto is early announcing tho
 advisability and importance of every | one being in their seats at the be- | ginning of the picture. There vii

 Endorsed wherever shown by cler- gy and laymen, High Dierker's mighty drama, When the Dawn Came of fers patrons of Mauk's Columbia the ater one of the most powerful pie lures ever shown here.
 When the Dawn Came,' which is showing at the Columbia today and tomorrow, is a picture that touches nearly every phase of human life, in the slums. in high society, in the valleys and missions of southern Cal ifornia, the story carries the beholder enthralled through situations of in- tense dramatic interest and power ful human appeal.
 The plot of the mighty picture re- wolves around pr. John Brandon, young and handsome, who is wrapped up in his work among the poor until he meets society girl who inspires his love. She leads him away from his chosen work into the world that is her own and where she leads him into a whirlpool of fast life and at last is proven false to him. Then Brandon seeks forgetfulness and in it's search reaches the very bottom of life's ways. and how he finds his redemption offers the gripping series of dramatic episodes that make When the Dawn Came" the might fest picture of the year.
 Special music by the Columbia or chestra adds to the beauty of the screenings of the big picture.

SIX NEW MEMBERS
 WITH 15O COWS JOIN COW TESTING ASST

Tn order that the testing schedules of the Tempe Cow Testing assocla- tion, started last July through the University of Ariona dairy extension service may be maintained for a year without a break, six dalrymen in the valley have joined the associa- tion during the past week as new members in place of six dairymen who recently sold their herds and withdrew from the association, R. N. Davis of the university dairy ex- tension service said yesterday. The six new members have a total of 150 dairy COWS in their herds, bringing the total number of cows tested by the association to $50 head. The membership of the association is 26.
 Under the rules of the association, an expert tester is employed by it to test the herds of each member of the association. The production of each COW is tested one day each month for quantity and quality of milk and for butter fat and the result of this one test is used he monthly average of the COW The results are recorded
 and a record kept of each COW during the F months. By means of this test, the cows producing a low grade l of milk and b'ltter fat are eliminated | ITOlu iIie AtSIdk litt SlS1iloeAho OA each dairy herd raised.
 eff the dairy COW is to occupy the place she should in the production of | milk in the valley, her value will | depend on the quantity and quality | of milk and butter fat she produces | Mir Davis said, and only by stand ardied milk tests and intelligent cull- ing of herds on the basis of the tests l can the standard of the herds bt
 maintained.
 Some dairymen have the idea tha
 the purpose of joining the testing as
 sociation is to see if they have cow
 in their herds which make better rec
 ords than those of their neighbors
 This is not the purpose of the as sociation. It was formed with tn
 central idea of eliminating the cow from each herd which are not pro ducing milk and butter fat in payinl quantities and thereby improvin the quality of dairy, cows in the val ley which means the prosperity am Ariona."
 W. D. Morrison is the expert teste employed by the association and h devotes his entire time to the work The membership of the association is limited to 26 members in orde that each her can be tested on da each month. V. l.. N1lldermuth O Tempe is president of the association and Frank E. Empey of Tempe is tn secretary.
