catchy swing to it. said Harry T. Walz.
1t is easy to see why the British army
adopted it as its marching song. It has
a swing to it that would start an army
marching with a will. 1t certainly must
be great to hear the army singing 1t
as they march. The song sounded good
to me when the band played it in the Pr

was the feature of the municipal day
parade as it has been in the past" said

biles created quite an impression on the
large crowd who witnessed the parade
through the streets. while the trucks
and supply wagons with their ap-

fire procession was the old wagon with

Every boy on the field has been show
ing great spirit and the High schools
fear Of losing the Thanksgiving day
game has been entirely allayed.''
1.-The American government should
certainly take a stronger attitude in re-
gard to the shooting across the line at
Naco by the Mexican factions" said
Taylor Morton. When the shooting Oc-
CURED the first time there was some
possible excuse, in that the government
was not warned, but, since that time,
American officials have had every OPP
