MORE PUPS THAN PATIENCE

If there is one thing Flagstaff has in vast
surplusage, it is dogs, pups, ours, mongrels. and
then some. About every so often during the
night, pandernonium breaks loose among them
andisleepais banished from that section of the
city until they have howled themselves out of
wind. Night after night this pack repeat the
performance without let or hindrance. We were
inclined to think that after while dog owners
would get tired of this bedlam all night long,
but it would appear that owners just loved the
racket and had educated their dogs along that
line. It's question of ethics whether the own
ers or the dogs should be poisoned. Those who
PEELED to furnish muffers for the dogs yet this
might deprive the doting owners from enjoying
the nightly furiose. Of course people who do
not like this vast pup chorus are at liberty to
move out of town. We haven't a great deal of
use for dog poisoner but sometimes patience
ceases to be virtue.

lord SAVE THE WILDCAT

Two hunters in the North Carolina
woods chased wildcat to a clearing
and were terrified to see the beast
jump into the window of a cabin
from which the sound of woman's
voice had just been heard. On the

parently unperturbed, sat Friend Hus-
band.
"For heavens sake is your wife in
there?" screamed one of the hunters.

Good Lord, man, get busy! A wild
cat just jumped in the window"

EDITOR ADMITS HE MADE A MISTAKE

We made mistake in last weeks issue of the
Republican. A good subscriber told us about it.
That day there was a letter in our postoffbee
box that didn't belong to US. We called for 98
over the phone and got 1913. We asked for a
spool of No. SO thread and when we got home
we found it was No. so. The train was reported
80 minutes late. We arrived at the depot 20
minutes after train time and the train was gone.
We got our milk bill and there was a mistake of
ten cents in our favor. We felt sick and the
doctor said we were eating too much meat. We
hadn't tasted meat in two months. The garbage
man said the jitney was missing because it need
ed new timer. We cleaned spark plug and
it's run fine ever since. Yes, we made mistake
in last weeks issue of the paper.-Jefferson
County Republican.

STIRRING UP TROUBLE

George H. Maxwell, the irritationist, is editing
quite a number of state papers under the cap
ton of Bumps" He says the Colorado river
pact is very, very bad, and is putting forth much
effort to prevent the timely development of the
river. We don't know Mr.. Maxwell and have
no idea just what actuates his desire for a de-
lay, but giving him credit with an honest en-
deavor, we are constrained to believe his propa-
ganda, sent out daily at considerable expense,
is not "nade in Arizona or trade in Arizona 1
stuff 1t is rather easy to make people think
sssome one is cheating no matter how honest
the proposition may be. The one great trouble
with Arizona right now is the Colorado river
development project is so large that the average
Arizonan freely admits he does not know. Not
knowing it is easy to further befuddle the great.

fanatics, honest doubters and clean-cut grafters
who only want Something to keep them quiet.

WHAT A LIKENESS!

I A banking office in southern city
contains two men who started togeth-
er. One has amassed a fortune and
is now president. The other is still
a poorly-paid bookkeeper.
At last the 25th anniversary of the
founding of the firm arrived and the
bookkeeper remembered it, but
thought no one else did. He was sur
prised when the president, whose
close-fistedness was we'll known, call
ed him and said:
Harrison, do you know that this is
our 25th anniversary together? /
have thought fit to commemorate the
event and have put in this envelope a
small gift for you to express my ap-
probation of your faithful services" !"
Overcome, the other looked in the
envelope and found a photograph of
his employer.
WELL" demanded the latter, what
have you to say?"
'1t's just like you," murmured the
bookkeeper, "just like yoa."

A city man, driving his automobile
along little-used country road, heard
something rattle beneath his car, stop
ped, looked back and saw bright
metal object lying in the road short
distance behind. It was plow point,
evidently lost by some farmer.
It was fully half an hour before
the next car came along and its occu-
pant, seeing the first man flat on his
back under his vehicle by the road
side. stopped and asked what the
trouble was.
The city man emerged and held up
the plow point.
"This blooming thing dropped off
my car" he said, "and I've been hunt

it belongs"

LAST CARD GRIPPING DRAMA AT COLISEUM

Adapted from Dated" Satur- day Evening Post story, the Metro production "The Last Card is a gripping crime drama, in which May Allison plays the part of devoted wife whose brave spirit and clear head save her husband from being convicted of murder. 1t is at the Coliseum for the last time tonight Directed by Bayard Viller, the au- thor of the stage and screen thrill Ter, within the Law the story IS not one of those mystery plots that keep everyone guessing as to who committed the murder, but it will set the spectators to wondering how an innocent man is going to escape from the web of circumstantial eyl- dence which the real murderer has woven around him. In spite of it's theme "The Last Card" has it's cheer ful moments, and there are number of charming scenes and laughable in cidents. in which little Stanley Goe thals is the prime mover. The clever way this five-year-old is used to brighten up the story and develop the action does great credit to all concerned.
 May Allison is sweet and womaniy as Elsie Kirkwood and makes no effort to give undue, prominence to the character. The supporting com edy is evenly balanced.

TEEN NIGHTS IN A
 BAR ROOM" COMING

The lovers of good music will be treated to a pleasant surprise when "Ten Nights in a Barroom" is pre- sented at the Palace Theatre on Sunday. A special musical setting has been arranged for this famous old melodrama by II. J. Brasfield and is said to be unusual in many ways For one thing where the average motion picture has one theme run ming throughout the action, "Ten Nights" has three separate and dis tinct themes and among them will be found many of the favorites oi other days. Almost everyone remem bers the old song, "Father Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now, which played so important part in the play. It is equally important in the photoplay and of course is used in the musical setting of the picture.
 "Ten Nights in a Barroom' is a drama of life. The simple story oi simple folks caught up in whirl of events beyond their control and carried along in spite of themselves to tremendous climax that is grip ping in it's intensity and all the more thrilling because it is real and depends on the story rather than outside mechanical effects for its drama.

Light comedy action, such as is n-s=z=..tied in "The Misleading Lady" is particularly restful after series of dramatic and melodramatic roles Bert Lytell. the magnetic young Metro star, remarked between scenes of the screen production of the Charles Goddard-Paul Dickey play at the company's sixty-first Street Studios in New York. The picture will be shown at the Coliseum Sun day and Monday.
 Like as many dramatic actors" said MT. Lytell. "I have done q great many comedy parts in the course of my career. And I like them especially after the strain, the in tensity of such work as doing Charley Steele in The Right of Way Alias Jimmy Valentine or my latest. The Price of Redemption
 People may think, in seeing a picture on a theatre screen. that it is easily done--that the actor reads his part, rehearses the action a while and is ready for the camera. I have no way of guaging whether fit is so for some, but with we ] must confess a big part flags me out.
