Picked up and whirled along by Jeanne Eagels incomparable inter pretation of Smone in Her Card board Lover" the audience at Par sons's theater. Hartford last evening enjoyed itself 10 the fullest extent despite the fact that the play itself is the frothiest Of the frothy. Weak ness of the story as judged by American standards, was entirely overlooked in the captivating and fascinating performance given by i Miss Eagels.

Prosperous Year
Ahead for Arizona

Opening of the fall season brought
an upward turn in most lines of busi-
ness in September, although gains
apparently were below expectations in
many sections. The general level ap-
pears to be about the same as year
ago, but with outlook for the winter
rendered more favorable by improved
returns for cotton and by indications
of further increases in tourist travel.
Cotton ginning is now in full swing,
and with yields reported good and
lint and seed prices considerably bet
ter than last season the agricultural
situation is looking up, as returns
from other major crops, except alfal-
fa, have been generally satisfactory.
Fall lettuce acreage is the largest on
record, with $4,000 acres planted in
the Salt River valley alone; shipments
will begin the latter part of Novem-

tourist with small movie camera
came upon a mother grouse sitting on
log near the rim of the Canyon.
What an ideal picture Of native wild
life it would be! Difficulties in the
form of broken branches lay between
the camera and the grouse. Would
the grouse remain stationary while
the brush was moved? The brush was
carefully pulled away piece by piece
until an unobstructed view extended
from the camera to the grouse. A
few feet Of film were exposed at a
distance of ten or fifteen feet. Grad
ually the camera-men moved towards
the grouse and obtained fine close
up at a distance of about four feet.
Mother grouse withstood. the burning
noise of the camera for short time
and then moved along the log. 1t was
necessary to remove more brush and
again move in close. This time the
grouse appeared entirely unconcerned

approximately $500 bales, while the
Yuma valley ginned $500 bales up to
September %. For the most part
growers are selling their cotton as it
comes in, though some are said to be
holding it in anticipation of further
increases in the market.
Fall lettuce growing has been sex-
tended to the Duncan and Stafford
sections this year, and total acreage
in the state is expected to exceed l6,-
600. Thirteen thousand acres have
been planted in the Salt River valley,
almost double the acreage harvested
last winter, but no definite figures
have been received from the Yuma
and Florence-Casa Grande valleys.
Weather thus far has been favorable
for the crop and little replanting has
been necessary. Shipments will begin
the latter part OF November.
Among other farm activities, move
ment of citrus fruits is starting with
prospects of some increase over last
year, when 175,00O boxes, of which
three-fourths were grapefruit, were
shipped from the Salt River valley.
Citrus acreage is increasing steadily,
and development of new land projects
forecasts a rapid growth for the IN
dustry A steady increase IN DAIRY
farming also is apparent.
Excellent natural conditions and
favorable markets have combined to
make the outlook for the live stock
industry exceptionally good. Ranges
throughout the state are reported the
best in wears, with ample feed and
water assured for fall and winter,
while the fact they are under-stocked
indicates that results Of natural re-
seeding will be especially beneficial
/ this season.
Fall cattle movement has opened
with stock in fine condition and un-
usually heavy, a high percentage OF
the cattle available going as range
fat. Demand has been heavy and con-
tracing has been active in all sec
tions. Prices have been very good,
averaging around S35 for yearlings,
$40. so for twos and $47.50 for threes,
with other classes in proportion. Not
withstanding that the number OF cat
tie on ranges has been considerably
reduced by the heavy movement OF the
past several seasons, fail shlpmehts
are expected to be close to last year 5
figures. During the first hall Of THIS
year 120,714 cattle were shipped out
side the state.
Sheep also are in excellent condl-
ton, and movement to southern VIM
tering grounds will be general IN a
few weeks more. Indications are that
MANY eve lambs will be held this year,
and there has been a good demand for

Abundant native wild life on the
north rim of the Grand Canyon occu-
pies second place only to the un-
matched scenic beauty of the Canyon
itself as an attraction to the tourist.
Here is where one may see the Ia
nous Kaibab herd of deer roaming the
primeval Kaibab forest, where IS lso-
lated the beautiful white-tailed tas-
sel-eared Kaibab squirrel, where for
mer President Roosevelt once hunted
the mountain lion, and where the bob
cat and coyote still trod the soil IN
considerable numbers. Last but not
least, however, is the dusky grouse or
'fool-hen," noted for its placid attl-
tude towards men Undoubtedly the
most singular incident that recently
took place in this sanctuary was the
posing Of a mother grouse for
