Wrestling Bout and
Physical Culture Stunts

The big wrestling bout pulled
off last night before a large au-
dience was a great success. The
principal feature was the obvious
exhibition of the respective effi-
ciencies of brute strength and
science. Noble Rogers, who is
considered one of the most husk-
lest" men in town and having
also some little science, worked
hard for ten minutes in a vain
attempt to down his opponent.
His opponent, Young Hacken-
smith, lightweight champion of
the world, then demonstrated
for fifteen minutes the advan-
tages of scientific wrestling. In
his demonstration he explained
the different holds; half, full and
double Nelson's, hammerlocks,
chanceries, toe holds, buttocks,

ROAD IN RURAL COMMUNITIES
Ever Recurring Problem OF Upkeep

Because OF. its cheapness the earth
road is, and for many years to come

form Of road in use In rural communl-
ties. The ever recurring problem OF
upkeep on such roads can, in a large

lack .JOhnsOn's S Car

Prizefghter Jack Johnson S
racing car, which two years ago
was the talk of the country, has
been sold. This monster car has
a solid aluminium body which
was cast in one piece in England,
no manufacturer in this country
being able to make it at the
time. Its mechanism has a six
cylinder engine, each of the cyl
inders being 81 by Z inches
which have a capacity of 1C5
horsepower and will send the
machine over the ground at 2
speed of 80 miles an hour. All
the parts of this wonderful speed
demon were especially made for
Jack Johnson and cost $14, 600.
However, the reckless career
run by Johnson in connection
with his famous restaurant in
Chicago, brought about the loss
of his rights in this country, as
we'll as his wonderful machine,
which was attached for a debt
and sold.

Buying Horses for

Representatives of the English
government for some time have
been in the western states pro-
curing horses for the British
army and at last have invaded
this part of Arizona. Will Free

acting for the contractor, are
now purchasing horses in this

delivered at Holbrook the 25th
of this month, where an English
Inspector will look them over.

Plenty of Rest Needed for
System, Says Hackensmith

Hack is as good a physical d.
rector and writer upon physical
topics as he is wrestler When
asked regarding the elements
which enter most. closely into
the success of physical training
he submitted the following cpl
tome:
Having been asked which
element enters most closely into
the success of physical training
plenty of the proper kind OF
rest, or plenty. of the proper
kind of food say, without
hesitation, that both are indis-
pensable.
"Rest is as essential as food.
The wear and tear Of city life
could be neutralized by proper
adjustment of rest periods. In
stead we rob- rest and ''mur-
der" sleep.
After meals there should be
from Is minutes to 80 minutes
of rest and there should be no
close mental application for the
same length of time before re-
tiring. Sleep from six to nine
hours, according to age, and the
requirement of the Individual
organism.
F'Men under 20 usually require
eight or nine hours.
Very nervous or anaemic per-
sons or those subjected to great
mental strain from worry or IN
tellectual effort require more
than those doing heavy muscular
work. They usually take much
less.
This is radically wrong for
the sleep period is peculiarly the
time of neutral relaxation and
renewal of energy"

A piece, Of iron about three and
one-half feet long. three or four inches

means of. bolts with fat, counter-sunk

to the front plank in such manner
that It's edge will project a half-inch
below the plank at the ditch end.

p A platform of inch boards cleated
together, with cracks an inch wide
between the boards to prevent dirt
from collecting on top, is placed on
the cross-pieces Of the drag to furnish
platform for the driver. This plat
form should rest upon the cross
pieces between the planks without be-
,ing fastened to the drag. 1t is not
shown in the illustration.
: Any chain having the strength of a
trace chain may be used to draw the
drag and should be attached as shown
In the picture, but the proper posi-
!. ton for attaching the doubletrees
must be determined by experiment
and will vary with the kind OF work
done. The chain should be about nine
feet long for q drag of the size shown
In the cut and should have the eye
for the clevis put in about three feet
from the end. The chain attaches by
means Of an eyebolt, as shown In the
picture, to the ditch or blade end Of
should finish with grabhook for use
In adjusting the length of the hitch
after the chain Is passed around the
cross-piece at the road end Of the
drag.
Commonly the drag should follow
the team at an angle ofsabout forty
FIVE degrees with their line Of travel,
to cause the dirt to move steadily and
freely along the faces of the planks
from the ditch toward the center Of
the road. In every case the angle at
which the drag will travel can be gcv-
erned by the position of the hitch.
which Is changed within reasonable
limits by lengthening or shortening
the chain, and by the position OF the
driver on the drag. A very little OK
perience will enable anyo"- to adjust
these things satisfactorily.

AS a preliminary to the wrestle
Hack had his two kid" students,
Leo Stratton and Don Despair,

how it was done. 5.ses

So small a town as: Snowflake
can we'll be proud to have so
noted a trainer as Young Hack
ensmith to conduct physical cul-
ture. He is celebrated the world
over and carries five world
titles. He had seventeen weeks
engagement in Europe but was
compelled to cancel it on account
of the war and so came here to
train his old militia pals. He is
now in charge of the wrestling
at the Panama-Pa acific Exposition
in 1915. If our boys show up
sufficiently some of them will
perhaps go.
Hack weighs only LIS pounds
and is only about 5 feet 2 inches
tall. He is, perhaps, the small
est man that was ever in Snow

or small, can secure a straight

He lacks only one year of com
pleting his course in a medical

TO STAKE HOMESTEADS

\ report from Seattle says that more 1lau ful:y t=rm-r,. tie vanguard of Al4sIa's agricultural stampede. left for the North recently on the steamship Admiral Samp- s,n. w:h yisY os home>teadIng land Iong the line of the proposed government railroad Many of them are men who, after making small fortunes in the North, bought farming land in the United States and Canada,
 The withdrawal by President Wilson of a number of townsites along the route which leads from Portage bay to the interior waterway system, has led to the conclusion that the main trunk line of the proposed railroad will run through the rich grass lands of the Susitna valley to the agrlcul- tural land OH the Tanana, and it is certain that vast amount of this land will be entered under the homestead act before the summer s ended
 Approximately 100000 acres of grass l@nd which. in places, is covered with small amount of jack pine and spruce tim ber, was surveyed under the direction of ,he interior department in 1912 and 1919. It i, believed that this land which is now available to developmen1 is as suitable for agricultural and stock raising as any in the United States
 In the crowd that went North were Gus -ci1ert, w.
