 The navy is the last subject dealt with. In that connection the presi- dent says;
 I approve the recommendations of the general board for the in- crease of the navy. calling especial attention to the med of addl- tional destroyers and eoiliers. and above all, of the four battleships. It Is desi-- able to complete soon as possible a squadron of eight battIeships of the best existing type.
 I most earnestly recommend that the general board be by law turned into a general staff. There is literally no ex- cuse whatever for continuing the pres ent bureau organizat on of the navy The navy should be treated as a purely mill tary organization, ani everything should be subordinated to the one object of se- curing military efficiency. A system of promotion by merit. either by selec- ton or by exclusion. or by both processes, should be introduced.

can Juniors which may not be de- scribed in the game yesterday with the Phoenix Juniors. the latter win ming easily by a score of 10 to 1. The MeXicans started out badly with four errors in the first chapter and the American bunch piled up three runs. The only run obtained by the Mexican boys came on a base on balls, two stolen bases and a passed ball.
 O'ConneI and Casey was the bat tery for the winners, and Grijalva and Castle for the defeated Juniors. Both ball tossers were wild at times. DeS- bite the unevenness of the match the Phoenix boys continued to play the game and fielded rather inter esting ball. They were the heavier of the two. having some High school players. The Mexican lads lost heart with the big lead of their opponents or they would probably have given a faster account of themselves. Sev- eral nice double plays were executed.

familiar grounds for the games. Their history of their hard times and struggles are unwritten in books, but words were handed down to the present generation.
 The good old tribe" the Pima, as some of the white people called our tribe, has not had such troubles and hardships as eastern tribes had. Before Caucasians had found the Pima Indians of Arizona they lived on both banks of the Gila river. At that time they had plenty of water for irrigation. The river was capa- ble of furnishing an abundant sup ply of water. They raised wheat. corn. beans. watermelons. pumpkins, cotton and tobacco. They were weavers of cloth of various widths, and also of blankets from the cotton they raised. The men went to the fields and worked. At that time the girls were trained to be fast runners, because the enemy tribes might at tack them at any time. Girls or young ladies could run just as fast as. their brothers could in those days, so they were able to escape from their enemies attacks.
 Another thing about the Pimas: They say if it were not for the white people who settled above the reservation and built a dam and shut their water off a majority would now have been self-supporting. For seven 1 long years most of them suffered ] for water The Gila river has been without water for this length of time to irrigate their farms before the congress at Washington, D. C., appropriated enough money for ra- tions for them. Now only a few are going without rations from the gov ernment. I am sorry to say our people suffered these things and are still suffering other things.
 Since MT. Pratt, father of the h. dian schools, founded Carlisle school in Pennsylvania, then Chenowa was founded in Oregon a year later, and other schools followed. Many young men and women have been educated and graduated that came from these schools in search of wisdom and knowledge. Most fitting was it that on the horizon of their future some new stars should appear whose bril- Iiancy is to be the light of all that have hitherto bedecked their heavens
 These stars are the young Pimas Oi this age. Although they were edu- cated in different schools they are now all trying to lift up their people toward civilization.
 Friends, do you know who I am talking about? It is you, of course You have earned a good education | Most of you have completed the
 course of your schools and received your diplomas. I'm proud of you I hope there will be quite a number of members of the Pima tribe tC graduate next year. We are today much better able to understand the
 value of an education an civiliZa- tion than you were even fifteen years ago. How thankful we ought to be that we have these advantages that our parents did not have.
 You are laying the foundation oi civilization for the coming genera
 itons. Build it well so the future generations may have good foun-
 dation to build upon. That they
 may come in contact with the best elements of the superior race whose civilization we are supposed tC adopt
 1 will again say that we are today much better able to understand the

value of an education and civilization and are coming nearer and nearer the desired standard of civilization than we were even a few years ago. Oh, how thankful we ought to be that we have these advantages which our forefathers did not have. Our country is now prosperous, our land teeming with the products of civilization. Through it all our peO- pie may have suffered, but we can now reap the benefit. We love our homes: we love our schools; we love our country; We love our flag. Hap py, prosperous America forever

 They lived contented and happy savage lives in those early days before Columbus discovered our con- Itinent But a short time after the discovery troubles arose before them. Time after time they were moved loff of their homes; again and again
 they met with such disagreeable days. and most of them wandered friendless, homeless and hopeless from place to place.
 Memory often recalled to them those days when they were living
 such happy lives, then thoughts came to their minds something like this; An. An! if those white people would only be friendly to us. We
 the owners of this country would have them use some of the land wherever we may choose for them

 Composed and Delivered Sermon. The Rev. E. c. Torrey, pastor of the Congregational churches in Sheffield and Ashley Falls, is absent on his an nual vacation but there was service as usual in the chapel at Ashley Falls last Sunday evening, sermon being de- livered by Mrs. Henry Clark of Ashley Falls, one of the most enthusiastic mem- bers of the church and diligent worker for every cause pertaining to its welfare. | When she heard that the pastor was to | be absent she decided that she would prepare sermon herself and conduct at least one of the services.

Whacklack, lack of whacks when wnacks meant runs, together with sey- eral costly errors at critical times, lost Saturdays game for Canaan. It was one of the poorest exhibitions ot base ball presented by the Canaan team this season while Sharon played in much better form than when the Sharon-Ca naan game was played at Sharon. Ca liaan expected to lose the former con test and won it, expected to win Satur- days contest and lost it. Taken all in all, Canaan has probably played the most cratic ball of any team in the lea que, making game attempts when crip- pied and, at times, lacking ginger when all the regular players were on the job. The latter condition in connection with their having fared badly at the hands of certain umplres. explains why the Ga naanites will finish in third, or perhaps fourth, place instead of in first or second.
 In Sharon with pitcher Deming in poor condition and the Canaan team having shaken the whacklack for the time being, Canaan easily won out mak- ing nine runs ill one inning. At Canaan with Deming in excellent trim and the whacklack working overtime, the tables were turned.
 Sharon had the strongest infield Sat urday that they have had during any game this season. Eggleston at short

Emery at third distinguished himself by gather ing in nearly everything that came his way except some hits that were two hot to handle and even these he partially stopped and reduced them to one-base hits when they would otherwise have been good for two or three bases. Knight was on first and played good game and sustained his reputation for being one ot the best batters on the Sharon team. The Sharon team, as 8 whole, played better ball than Canaan, consequently they won by safe margin although it was anybody's game np to the ninth in- ming
