In'itUOAKWAY ARIZONA." XKW YEARS GREETINGS If you haven't been wearing ear m tiffs for the past several weeks you mubt have heard a lot of talk about the wonderful pictures being shown at the BIJou. There's a reason. For one thing we have secured the best photoplays that are on the market. For another thing we have the best, steadiest projection pos sible to be obtained. There Is no eye strain, no fatigue in BIJou pic tures. A fault finder can't find very much to hla liking at the Bijou. We please only those who want the very best. We are happy this week as we have secured for the year 1918 the entire output of the Art Craft. Para mount and Triangle pictures, as there are none better, which will please every one who wants to see good pictures. Selecting pictures to please all the people Is some Job. If it wern't for the people who tell ns, as they pass out each night, "there'a what I call a real picture." "best thing you ever had." I don't Iknow what I would do. We hope that every patron of the Bijou feels that we are trying to pick the best pictures on the mar ket and the ones that will please. We want you to feel that any night you come to the BIJou you will be entertained and enjoy yourself. Don't forget to tell us when yon pass out if you like the show. .See ing a good picture is like reading a book that cost you one dollar for 20 cents. Ton also help the boys at the front as we pay the war tax. In closing we wish our patrons and all a happy and prosperous new year. 46 THE BIJOU PICTURE CO.

WORRY AND ILLNESS LEAD 10 A SUICIDE Wlllaid Meals, a well known resi dent of this count, committed sui cide by shooting himself In the fine- head with a rifle about 7 o'cloii Sunday morning. Meals was 'one of the Mcalii Urns who had lived for a number of years on a ranch between the ferry and Merlin. He had later lived In this city where he was employed as watchman at the old Warren box factory, During his stay here, he and his brother had lived together. A long spell of seml-lllness had led him Into a thoroughly discour aged condition. He was worrying somewhat about a matter of certain machinery which was stored In the factory and the owners or which had requested permission to remove. Meala had refused to . permit this without specific Instructions from his employers. A telegram was re ceived only a few hours after he committed the rash act, giving such permission. Meals had risen apparently as usual Sunday morning, but soon af ter left the front door with his rifle In his hands. 'As he stepped off the porch, he dropped a note addressed to his "brother telling of his Inten tion to shoot himself and asking his brother's forgiveness for his step, Letterheads that will please you. at the Courier.
