KATZENJAMMER KIDS
OF COMIC FAME, AT APOLLO

Gus Hill introduces his latest and
most unusual success, "Hans Und
Fritz, at the Apollo Theatre this Fri
day and Saturday evenings and Sat
urday matinee. 1t is described as a
musical comedy with pretty girls and
vaudeville headliners, original feat
ures, novelties and surprises, in
three acts and three scenes. 1t is
based on the popular cartoons of R.
Dirks, who set the world a-laughing
with his "Katzenjammer Kids" a
comic that won for this adroit artist
immediate fame and fortune. Mr..
Hill has done well by this unique Gre
alton and the production, lavishly and
artistically presented, bids fair to
equal in popularity his greatest tri-
umph, Mutt and jeff" In this Of
fering it is said the pair of incorrigi-
BILE youngsters are given plenty of
scope to practice their tricks and
jokes to their hearts content. They
are sure to incite hilarity and mirth,
the aim of both the author and the
SnOnSOr.

NO LONELY STROLLS FOR
 PRESIDENT.

If you ever are elected president Of the United States you will be con- pelled to forego many of your present joys. For instance:
 How President Wilson unsuccess- fully tried to indulge n every plain citizens prerogative-a quiet stroll has become known. It is experiences like this that prevent every well : bred citizen from running for presi- dent.
 White house employees are under strict orders that if the president orders an automobile or starts on d walk, the secret service men, if not aware of his plans, must be tela- phoned at once. It is this that some times accounts for their dashing al. full speed from the executive man sion to overtake the president when he starts on a stroll without inform ing anyone beforehand.
 One day the presiden. tried to put one over" He quietly went to the executive office, signed some papers and then made his way to a stairway leading to the basement. But just as he was chuckling over having elud ed the sleuths he ran into a police- man stationed outside the door, who i'll jiffy, after the president had passed, gave out the high sign. Hard ly had the president gone half a block when the secret service sleuths were behind him.
 It must have been Very exciting.

UNIVERSAL TRAINING COMING.

The universal military training bill,
 which the senate military committee
 reported favorably Saturday, and
 which provides that every unmarried 'youth lacking dependents, between the age of 19 and 26, must take six months military training, appears
 certain of passage through the con- gross.
 Sentiment in favor of some sort If
 military training applying to every youth in the country l as been gain ing momentum ever since the Euro pean war started. Criticism regard ing present system of volunteer en- listments-Once erroneously thought the qquintessence of democracy-ha been so spirited and fraught with req. son, that the congress cannot well afford to ignore the plain dictates of the people
 Compared with the military sys- items in vogue in Europe, the proposed American law is very mild indeed. In Germany, Franco and Russia, en- forced military service demands from two 10 three years active parti- cipation in the standing armies; the American bill does not intend to put into force any such system as that It merely wishes to insure military knowledge as 9 part of the educa- tlonal equipment of the youths of the nation, so that in times of stress our volunteers will not be "raw mobs" for a year or more before being fit fer service.
 Furthermore, a mild system of uni versal training will produce decided benefits along other lines. Millions of youths will obtain supervised exer- cises that they now fail to enjoy while shouting their heads off, on the sldelines; their health will be looked after; discipline and realization Of their duty toward the government
 will surely accrue.
 | The proposed law is not drastic f enough for some, and probably too
 drastic for others. In any event, .t
 is long step forward.

POTATOES, COTTON AND OTHER THINGS.

Under this heading. the Memphis Commercial Appeal of yesterday cor tains an editorial on the cotton situi- tion, as it is affected by the Euro pean war developments, drawing tho conclusion that every bale of cotton now in existence will be needed be fore the next crop is gathered, and that the supply will have to be bought at fair price," The Com mercial Appeal discusses the plan ioc the farmer to make certain that he will continue to enjoy the prosperity the last year brought. He can do ths in one way: Grow more food ar. feed crops.
 The Memphis paper editorial fo.- lows:
 We have had an unusual week in cotton. We have had some tremen,. ous forces at work that would ordi- narily shake a market to the center Spot cotton has held steady. Thc ANVNAS oSetASiS D CillSI Stl C SOlltCuL WI the rewards of the last few days 0. are fearful of further marked disturb ances.
 "It is unfortunate that when co ton was over 20 cents it was not a,! sold, but there were various reasons against selling it. At times there were limitations of sea room, Thee was also a blockade to the spinnins, eenters in the North. In the South there was car shortage.
 "The owners of cotton have do l. exceedingly well during the last week. They have not become stan pcded. They need not become stam peded. Peace or war, there will bl demand for every ,talc of cot; oT. that is now in warehouses.
 "The need for this cotton will be- come acute, and it will have to be bought at fair price.
 "lf the people stand together, sit steady in the boat, the present cot ton crop will be marketed in an orderly way and at an orderly price. The South is better able to hold tn cotton that i! has than it has ever been !n it's history. A great bulk of the cotton has already been sold.
 There is more cotton in the Mem phis territory than in any other pat of the South. When the demand does come the biggest movement will be from this territory.
 Another thing that will have a tendency to hold up the price of cot ton and make it advance, will be : determination on the part of ou' Southern people to grow more food stuff. If we don't grow more food crops and plant all cotton, we will have to get 20 cents d pound for it all the year round if we expect 10 have enough money to buy flour at SIG barre! and four pounds of hog

The Graphic likes the attitude oe the members of the Jefferson county delegation in the general assembly, even tho, at times, their views and the papers do not coincide. Each says he seeks to serve the majority of the people, without regard tC his own per. sonal opinion. Of course, this does not mean that any one of them would vote against his convictions on question of right and wrong: rather that he is willing to subordinate per- sonal opinion as to detail in order to serve the majority.

 "We do not know of anything more profitable than planting early pota toes. Potatoes are now selling around $2.50 a bushe'. They are going to be higher all the summer. We can get in an early crop here, an if we can begin to eat potatoes early in the spring We will sell to our selves several million dollars worth of potatoes, which money Ordinarily would go out of the South.
