Mount Airy, Calf James Adolph
Cody keeps on growing for the next
20 years as he has for the past q
months, there won't be a street in the
country wide enough for his passage.
He couldn't enter railway train,
couldn't pass under a bridge without
crawling and would strain the axles of
the biggest auto truck in the country.
He now weighs lie pounds and is just
three months over two years old. If
anybody knows of a bigger baby
than that, George invites him to enter
exhibit B. But James Adolph is
unique.
Mr.. and Mrs James Aleck Cody, who
live on the mountain side not far from
Mount Airy, don't know what to think
of the enormous size of their offspring.
He wasn't their first baby and his
predecessors were not unusually large
nor are the parents above the av-
erage
Young James Adolph was larger
than the average when he entered this
world, but not of appalling size by any
means. But he began growing after
his very first meal and hasn't done
anything but grow since.
The child has grown in proportion
within the past six months with the
record he made in his first baby days.
With the first indication of his alb
normal growth, his parents consulted a
physician and James Adolph was put
under his care for some length of time
All efforts to keep the baby on diet
suitable for one of his age, proved as
unsuccessful as the physicians treat
ment to keep him normal in flesh
growth and any tendency beyond the
ordinary baby.
He now weighs more than 100
pounds He is 80 inches in height,
barefoot. His measurements are as
follows:
Around, head 24h inches; neck, IA
inches; bust, 33 inches; waist, SO
inches; around arm above elbow, II
inches; wrist, inches; across hand,
above thumb, 6% inches; around first
finger, near hand, 21s inches; around
thigh, 26 inches; above knee, IA
inches; below knee, 13 inches; ankle
9 inches; around foot, 81a inches;
length of foot, 61a inches; across shoul-
der, Is inches.

person than baby For breakfast he

there are not many people IN

Following his controversy
with Chairman Underwood of
the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Mr.. Bryan gave
out a short statement in which
he denounced the " secret
caucus and he wanted to
know " w h y should the
democratic members submit
to the secret caucus" After
making a few appare ntly
harmless remarks, Mr.. Bryan
concluded with these words,
"lf you are opposed to it,
write your member of con-
gress and urge him to protect
against it, And then the
deluge began to pour in by
way of correspondence to the
desks of the self-same mem
bers who applauded SO vigor-
ously at the recent outburst of

then, Mr.. Taft, in his august
prerogative, as the chief exec

he had made various speeches

Now, the Statehood bill,
fathered by Smith, passed the
senate So to 8; passed the
house almost unanimously,
promptly signed by Presi-
dent Taft, eliminating the OBJ
noxious, to the republicans,

want to call the attention of

to get busy and dvote in state

Now. that President Taft
has pat it up to the people of
Arizona to,either do his will
or SO without statehood, and
it seems to be the best policy
to accept his terms and, in
that, assure US statehood.
There is no question in our
minds as to the desires of the
citizens of Arizona as to the
recall proposition. We have
shown our wishes in regard to
this matter but were turned

the White Sox won the first game of

Athletics at Comiskey park yesterday
afternoon by a score of to 5. Pings
timely hit was a vicious single to left
field in the seventh inning. when the
bases were filled and two men out. The
Sox needed one TO tie and two to win
Ping drove two of them home and
struck delight in the hearts of about
81 900 wild and shouting fans who were
out TO see the battle
1t was the name of Ping Bodie that
was on the lips of the happy fans as
they wended their way out of the
grounds His feat had been impress sed
upon the minds of all. and the daring
and spirited work of the other eight
players was for the time forgotten.
But it was a desperate game, in which
the doings of Doc White, John Collins,
Billy sullivan. Lee Tannehill. and jim
my Callahan figured as well. 1t wasn't
a one man victory by any means. There
were nine men on each side fighting
gallantly all the way, and the prowess
OF the Sox was just enough superior
to nose out ahead.
