The "Ukulele Hooka Hoola Club” held its third meeting last Monday night, Feb, 3rd, at the home of Mrs. Virgil Fendall. A very enoyable musi cal evening was spent and a delightful “Hoover lunch” was served. Five new members were elected into the club at the last meeting. The officers and members of the club are as fol lows: Mrs. Cloyd Dawson, pres; Mrs. J. Merril Smith, vice-pres; Miss Hel en Gibson, sec.; Mr. Lowell Edwards, Treas.; Mrs. Virvil Fendall, Miss Stella Goyne, Miss Alice Todd, Mr. Eberhardt, Mrs. Fred Bohmer,, Miss Marie Holden, Mr. J.

The club meets every Monday evening at the respective club mem bers homes, Basket Ball Game. Firemen basket ball representatives met for the second time, and defeated for the second time this season tlte lighter High School quintet, at the local armory last Friday evening, be fore an enthusiastic audience. While a Fireman reports this victory to the local press, and naturally reserves the Hose Company its just laurels, still in all fairness he must say the High School outplayed their opponents in all departments of the game, save their inferior “bull strength.” We acknowledge their cleverness. The High School hejd the Fire boys to an even game until the last few minutes of play, when aforesaid "bull strength” and luck robbed them of a deserved victory. The players partici pating were: Firemen: Foster, for ward; Prof. Fennel, forward; Plasker, center, Sating, guard; Crimmins, Dris coll, guards. High School, Hcisel, forward; Erskine, forward; Edwards, Center; Boquist, guard, -Ruffem, guard. Referee. Prof. King, Time- keeper, C. Dawson. Mae Marsh Stars in “Sunshine Alley” at the Gem. W hat is described as the quaintest play of a quaint actress, “Sunshine Alley” starring Mae Marsh, is the newest Goldwyn Picture to be shown at the Gem Theatre Tuesday, Feb. 12. The story of- the play was written especially to fit the peculiar talents of Miss Marsh by Mary Rider, the dramatist, and transferred to the screen under direction of Jack Noble, with the celebrated magazine illus trator, Everett Shinn, in charge of artistic mounting. In the action, Harbost, who runs an animal and bird store in a poor quar ter of a great city, while trying to re call Carlo, his wayward grandson, is injured by an automobile belonging to a millionaire, Morris by name. Mrs. M orris, by way of forstalling his pos sible claim of damages, offers to buy a beautiful bulltfinch, but Harbost re fuses to sell it because it is so dearly loved by his granddaughter Nell. Ned Morris, son of the millionaire and also a member of the automobile party, is much taken will Nell’s quaint charm, and gives her his card, bidding her call on him whenever he may be of assistance. As the days pass, Harhost's injuries prove serious, and Nell, being without funds for a physician and drugs, ’phones to Ned that she w’ll sell his mother the bullfinch. Ned responds promptly, buys the bird and lakes it home, where his mother intends to use it as the big surprise of her fancy dress ball that evening. When the time comes, however, the bi J will not sing, so Mrs. Morris sends for the bird doctor. Nell goes in her grandfather’s stead, attired in her best clothes, her grand mother's wedding dress.

Announcement. ------o Raft as Used in America Today Has Its Counterpart in Every Coun- try in the World. Phll Snodgrass, a former resident, is visiting Phoenix and refreshing the memories of the few old-tliuers who reninin, the Arizona Republican states. Most of them had forgotten the mimes and even the existence of many of the residents of more than 11 generation ago. Mr. Snodgrass recalls them all and tins asked about them. He re members landmarks that long since have disappeared and were forgotten by those who had become familiar with the buildings that had taken their places. The coming of Mr. Snodgrass has revived many incidents connected with the lives of tlie old-timers. H. R. Pat rick, of course, was here then, having completed the excavation'of the Grand canyon. Having nothing else to do. he was awaiting on the site of Phoenix for civilization to come ami pre- empt it. Mr. Patrick was civil engineer. His seen rough times and needed paint ing. About that time P. C. Bicknell appeared on the scene and advertised himself as a decorative painter. He undertook to paint the rod. When Mr. Patrick receitefl It back hk bad a lev eling rod unlike any other in exist ence. He felt sure that that was the first one Bicknell had ever seen. Though Mr. Patrick had paid $5 for the decoration, he made no complaint, but repainted it himself after a fash ion, so it would do. Years afterward Patrick and Bick nell met In a saloon In Wickenburg and In talking over old times both be came quite frank and outspoken. “You remember,” asked Patrick, “that leveling rod you painted for me?” Bicknell remembered It very well. "Well,” said Patrick, “what in the devil induced you to hold yourself out to the public as a painter? Why didn’t you advertise as a minister of the gospel or the czar of Russia?” "I’ll tell you,” replied Bicknell, “I was broke. I had just landed in town on the tall of a freight wagon, without a penny. I hud to do something. I went up and down the street and saw the signs of blacksmiths, carpenters, doctors, lawyers and about everything else. All professions and trades seemed to he represented except that of painting and decorating and I claimed that vacant field by right of discovery. So I stuck out a shingle, though I had never before held a paint brush In my hand. The ornamenta » tion of that leveling rod was the first job I got.” “The raft has been used for ceata- rles for carrying vari..... cargoes'* writes Day Allen Willey in St. Nicho las. “It carried Egyptian cotton on the Nile; it Is in service on tin- Kongo river in Africa and the Ganges in in. dla; but tlte raft which is its own cargo Is that composed of logs_ „ method of water tron-i ., 1 tutlon that originated ill Nova Scotia n half cen. tury ago. "Tree trunks cut from Nova Scotia forests were moved on wooden rollers to one of the harbors, where the logs were piled In layers mid bound to gether with twisted wire rope. The raft was to be taken to a lumber mill on New York harbor, where the logs were to be eut into timber for building purposes. To haul ’he r»;, while on tlie sea, one end of a heavy wire rope was fastened to its bow. the other was secured to tile rear deck id' a steam tugboat. It started on its ocean jour ney, but never reached it- destination, for 11 gale of wind sprang up. the tow lag rope parted, amt the raft drifted out to sea. Later, some of the logs were found washed ashore uu the Nor wegian coast. “In tlie Northwest the transportation of lumber in rafts Is very extensive. They are of enormous dimensions, In Bhago closely resembling a cigar, hav ing its greatest number at the middle and tapering to a point at both ends. While these rafts are of varying sizes, the smallest usually contains at least five thousand pieces of limber, ranging from 80 to 110 feet In length and from two to nearly five feet In diameter st the butt. “Consequently, some of the rafts made in this peculiar fashion nre near ly as long as the largest transatlantic liners, measuring no less than 650 feet from end to end.” I The Store that Sells for Cash, and, Selling for Cash—Sells for We wish to express our thanks to the kind neighbors and friends who showed so much sympathy and kond- ness to us on account of the dealii of our beloved mother, Mrs. Mary 1 Smith.

When an American is told that any- thing is Impossible his Impulse is to try to do it without delay. For this reason no one will be astonished, though everyone will be Interested, in th“ story of a member of the Ameri can Aviation corps in France who was disciplined by having his machine ta- ken away from him temporarily be- cause he had used it In looping the loop—a dangerous evolution, on ac count of its peril forbidden to be ht* tempted In this machine. While, ‘W»ll up in the blue,” the aviator had start ed to perform tlie feat and made five graceful loops in descending to the ground. His commanding officer clos ed his reprimand by asking, “Why did you do it?” and the aviator replied, “A Frenchman told me it could not be done." It was not unnatural that this explanation made a favorable impres sion on the officer, and that lie related it with admiration In proof of the fine spirit of the fellows the United States Is sending across the Atlantic to hold up Uncle Sam’s end of the world war. —Milwaukee Wisconsin. HALF-PRICE “All for a Husband” at the Gem. A novelty for screen patrons is promised by the management of the Gem Theatre next Thursday, when William Fox's newest production “All for a Husband,” will be shown. The picture has in it something new and distinct. Virginia Pearson plays the leading role in this new drama, which com bines so much of the comedy element that the spectators are guaranteed a laugh ftom the titling to the conclu sion of the picture. Miss Pearson takes the part of Henrietta Downs, a young giil of the marriageable age. A friend decides that Henrietta is the ideal type for her brother. The brother Henry Harding, a con firmed wc ma.-.-hater, is in the midst of a campaign for the mayorship of his city. He will pay no attentien to his sister's threats that she is setting a trap for him. During one of Hardin's speeches, he is interrupted by an escaped lunatic, a woman named Myra Haynes, Myra insists that Hardin is her former sweetheart, and thus furnishes matcr- ial for the candidate's political op- ponents. W hen Hardin returns to his home, he learns that a woman is in the apartment. Thinking that Myra has has pursued him, he refuses to have anything to do with her. When Hen rietta makes her appearance, however he decides that an entire mad house is let loose. For Henrietta has taken her clue from Myra, and decided to play the lunatick. Complications ensue in such rapid order that one doesn't know what to expect next. And then comes the big gest surprise ending that has ever been attached to a motion picture. “All for a Husband," is a roar from one end to the other. Fvntists could use it on their patientf. instead >f laughing gas. -------- EVERY OTHER FIELD KILLED OLD METHOD OF TRANSPORT rives Ned, who has fallen in love | with her introduces her as bi; guest, 1 and she becomes the belle of the evening.

Guests Must Provide Bread Cards. In such sorely pressed neutral couu- .ries as Sweden the war has resulted in rich and poor alike being subject : ed to many restrictions heretofore un I known. An Illustration of this—not without its humorous aspect—Is found n a Swedish wedding invitation re cently received In this country by friends of the bride and bridegroom. The latter were members of two i wealthy families In Stockholm, and ! the handsomely engraved missive in cluded an invitation to a banquet at one of the finest hotels in the Swedish capital. It was in a notation at the ii bottom page that the hand of war I manifested Itself, in these words : 'Please bring your bread cards.” This neant that well-to-do hosts at a wed- Ifng could not provide their guests vith bread except in restricted mounts and In the manner prescribed ,v law,—Popular Mechanics Magneine. rushed Zeppelin Under Read Roller.

At the suggestion of M.

It would be impossible to give in de tail the effect of the European war on American trade, but partial statements show the approximate effect on some branches of trade. Thus it appears that during the first 20 months of war our exports of articles used expressly for war purposes amounted to $1,092,- 582,249. The smallest shipments were- in the opening month of the war. Aug- ust, 1914, w hen such exports amount ed to only $8,551,011 and Increased al most steadily up to March, 1916, when the total was $114.326,426. For the 20 months the exports of explosives amounted to $166.159,515; gunpowder. $104,005,785; cartridges, $40.308.617; dynamite, $3,211,073; commercial au tomobiles, $82.667.125; mules. $30.02«,- 591; horses, $125,241,206; nirplnnes. $7,401,707; firearms, $20.140,981; mis cellaneous iron and steel.

Shark Fishing an Industry. Shark fishing lias evolved from » sport to an organized industry in the Pacific waters off the southwester» coast. The skin of various species of the fish when tanned forms a tough, durable leather that is in considerable demand, and the oil that is extracted from the carcass likewise tins comuier- cial value. Of late a Japanese syndi cate has undertaken the exploitation of this long-neglected field and, as a re sult, large numbers of sharks are heiag captured. The mottled skins of the tiger sharks are being made into slip pers, belts, gloves and other articles, while those of the great blue and l>n"k ing sharks, which are especially thick and strong, are used for piiri«-st-s that demand long-lived material.—Popnl*r Mechanics Magazine.
