disappeared. The change was wonder
full and it was all to the good. Here
is a photograph showing before and
after taking and l am sure no patent
medicine advertisement could beat it.
'Well, mother and I were delighted.
That was ten years ago, and Howard
says the year he spent at the military
academy was the best year of his life.
"Now," said Uncle Dan, with great
earnestness, "when such training does
SO much good, makes better citizens and
at the same time fits man to defend
his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern
ment's expense? The government has
the right to call anyone to serve in
case of war, and without training,
man is worth nothing as a soldier. Un-
Gle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for
the purpose therefore, here is double
reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed at once, so that every boy ply
sically fit may have this training and
not leave it for his parents to pay for.
On account of the expense, not one boy
in so can take the training now. ] am
glad that you can do so. These big
crops and big prices, find, make the
farmers rather 'cocky,' and that the
best is demanded by them"
Billie was up with the lark the next
morning, more excited and enthusiastic
than ever. He had plan. He knew
Jimmie owned a colt worth 500; that
he would make almost another 500 on
his potatoes if they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought a $100 Liberty bond.
Billie's plan was to have Jimmie cash
in and go with him. He was disap-
pointed to find that Jimmie would still
lack about $500 of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, he
said: I'm mighty sorry to leave JIM
mie."
Uncle Dan was silent a moment or
two, then he asked Billie to go down
to the orchard and get him some ap-
pies to eat on the train. While he was
gone, it was arranged that Uncle Dan
and Mr.. and Mrs. Graham would adj
vance the money necessary so that
Jimmie could go. When Billie returned
he was told about it. He ran to the
phone and called Jimmie, saying
"Come on over run just as fast as you

Special to The Republican,

TUCSON, April 20.-Tempe high playing an air-tight article of ball and supporting Nevitt in sensational fash ion. bested the Phoenix representa- ton in the final game of the year this morning and thereby earned an undis- puted claim to state honors.
 Tempes victory in this all-important battle was a fitting climax to a sea- son of sensational playing on behalf of the winning members. The team went through the seasons schedule without suffering defeat at the hands of any high school team.
 HefIin and Nevitt were the opposing twirlers in the final battle, the latter having a slight advantage over the Phoenix huTler' Heflin was continu- ously in trouble because of the loose support of his infield. Both men were pitching their third game within three days. Nevitt won all three games in which he started, while Heflin suffered defeat in this game only.

tion OF Extending Life OF

Washin gton. - Railroad legislation
desired by President Wilson to sup
plement the Adamson Law is to be
pressed In the House without waiting
for action by the Senate. After a con-
ference with the President, and while
the Senate committee was continuing
its hearings on the subject. Repre-
sentative Adamson, chairman OF the
House Commerce Committee, an
nounced that within few days he
would introduce and seek the passage
of bills designed to prevent railroad
employees from striking without giving
60 days notice, and to empower the
President to place tied.up roads In the
hands OF military authorities In case
OF public necessity.
Vigorous opposition to the proposed
compulsory notice measure from Or
ganlzed labor generally is anticipated.
1t was to fight such proposals that the
four railway brotherhoods and the
American Federation OF Labor repre-.
sentatives recently allied themselves
uno1lcially.
They oppose all measures forcing
men TO labor.
Brotherhood officials are expected
here within the next few days to
testify before the Senate committee,
and 1t Is expected that they then will
inaugurate q fight on the Adamson
proposals.
House leaders pointed out that pass.
age of the Adamson bills by the House
would not interfere with the Senate
procedure. The Senate has before II
a bill passed by the House at the last
session to enlarge the Interstate Com.

tire bill in conference then would be
