"OLIVER TWIST IS
HAILED AS TRUE
SCREEN MASTERPIECE

According to Frank Lloyd,
director of "Oliver Twist. . in
which Sol Lesser is soon to pre-
sent little Jackie Coogan at the
Social Theatre, March "a, the
reproduction of the scenes IN
Field Lane" are photograph
cally accurate. 1t was in this
disreputable quarter of London
that Oliver Twist was held cap
tive by Fagin and his evil band.
The place still exists, although
much of the wickedness rampant
there in Dickens day has been
wiped out. But the landmarks
remain, and any student of
Charles Dickens works, familiar,
too, with h.the illustrations done
by Cruickshank, the great illus
TRAITOR of Dickens characters,
NAV find them and identify them
beyond any shadow of doubt.
These will be shown Gust as
they were in Dickens books) in
the massive production soon to
be offered here.
A popularity of these evil
sections of London, says Mr..
Lloyd, is that t G so frequently
are Immediately adjacent to the
staid. reputable and polite Sec
tons. 1t is so with Field Lane.
That is how it happens in the
story and in the screen version
Of "Oliver Twist, +" that Oliver,
gone only fifteen minutes from
the quiet and genteel home of
Mr.. Brownlow, finds himself in
tie sordid, vile section wherein
Iagin and bis gang flourish.
The reader of Dickens will
find everything in his memory
concerning "Oliver Twist" sud-
denly illumined and flashed forth
again in this First National
attraction.

CLEANUP DAY MAKES
BIG IMPROVEMENT
FOR SNOWFLAKE

The local folks made last Fri
day a real cleanup day for Snow
flake. Much was accomplished
in the way of cleaning up the
streets and bitches. The faculty
members and students of the
Academy and Public schools
laid aside their studies during
the forenoon and armed with the
necessary tools each individual
pitched in and did their bit for
the good of the town. Nearly
every street was raked and the
rubbish hauled off. Some had
already removed all rubbish
from their premises and the ad-
joining streets; some had raked
ready for hauling; others helped
rake their own street; SOME
didn't do anything, but very
few. Nearly every available
team was out hauling although
one or two stood in the corral.
Both students and teamsters on
some districts enjoyed the re-
pasts of apples, lemonade, cake,
doughnuts and candy that were
served by some of the apprecia-
tive families.
The efforts and work of those
who assisted in the cleanup day
will bear their fruits for th e
beautifying of the town and the
future health of it's citizens.
The cleanup campaign has
not ended with the cleanup day.
Everyone is just as anxious to
keep things cleaned up as they
were to get the cleanup cam
paign under way. Snowflake is
determined to rank as one of the
cleanliest towns of the state and
will keep up the work until it is
recognized as such.

MESA HIGH SCHOOL
IS STATE BASKET
BALL CHAMPIONS

Tucon, March 10.-State bas-
ket ball honors for the 1923
season go to Mesa high school
without argument. The boys
and girls teams of the Gate City
played wonderful basketball at
the tournament here and are
deserving of the honors that go
with the state championship.
The Mesa girls won the chan
ponship in their class by defeat
ing the Wilcox girls 1927 in the
final game and the Mesa boys
won their honors by beating
Gilbert in the morning 1926 and
in the finals they walked all
over the Phoenix Coyotes by a
score of A to 25.
This makes the second cham
pionship honors that the Mesa
high has won this season. They
took the state championship in
football.

CATTLE RUSTLii,,GC
GANG BROKEN WITH
ARREST OF TEN men

Casa Grande, March 10 Pinal
county officers made one of the
most sensation raids in the his
tory of the country here when
they arrested 10 men who, they
claim. have been engaged in
rustling cattle, killing them and
peddling the beef.
Early Saturday morning a
rancher saw a steer tied to a
tree near Sasto, and having his
suspicious aroused, called the
livestock inspector at Tucson,
who in turn called Sheriff Enos
Thurman and his deputy. M.
Holden who hurried to the scene.
Upon the arrival of the Off
GERS they found that the steer
had been butchered and the hide
mutilated. The officers search
ed the nearby houses and found
the beef hidden under boxes,
beds, tubs and every place avail
able for hiding chunks of meat.
Ten men were arrested and
taken to Casa Grande and from
there to Florence. Charges of
cattle rustling have been pre-
ferred against them. Most of
the men implicatedare Mexicans.

TOO MANY OFFICE


HOLDERS
This is quoted from Elk Governor
Slaton OF Georgia in speech made to
civic club in Atlanta recently. He as
serted that prior to the Civil war that
here was one officeholder to every
thousand citizens, and n 1880 one to
every hundred citizens and that now
we have one for every twenty citizens.
The Constitution has suggested rem
edy for greater efficiency of state en-
ployees and less political intriguing
that has met with h Oh endorsement
from other papers and from people in
general that there be rigid civil SER
vice system employed in Georgia for
state employees similar that of the fetL
eral system. Another comment on this
pernicious grip of politics in our own
state and elsewhere is the challenge
to eliminate the principal and retain
the assistant in every public office,
ON the presumption that the loss OF
the former would never be noted ex-
cept on the pay roll and quite likely in
his interrupted impunity, in the matter
of spoils.

The New York Central is charging

The rate charged per passenger per

in 1922 was 5098, an increase of AT
per cent imposed on 99.3 per cent of

Increased rates were based on an

book value of the railroads fixed by
themselves. A summary of the value
fixed for roads and equipment from
