to try many shifts and stratagems
before the first of October. He may
add some new players to the list and
some now present may be disposed
of. This all depends on how much
power and freedom the manager is
allowed.
The manning of Safer is a hard
blow. Reuther is doing his best at
first base, but he lacks experience in
fielding the position and therefore
makes the work of the remainder of
the infield more difficult. An effort
will be made to get Fred MOllwitz
back from Kansas City. Jack Ness,
last year a White Sock, would also be
welcomed.
Until this hole is pIugged-barring
a sensational development by Reu-
ther-the Cubs will have a big cavity.
Third base is also causing Worriment.
Deal has been benched in favor of
Zeider in order to get more hitting.
1t is fairly safe prediction that this
shift is merely temporary and Deal
will be back again shortly. He has
hit over 300 for two years, one in the
Federal and the other in the Ameri-
can assn, and a chap who can bat
consistently must have something.
Cy Williams bunted with two men
on base and none out and was so in
terested watching Lee Meadows pick
up the ball he walked toward first.
That gave Meadows plenty of time to
nip Cy after making a false peg to
third. It was the worst piece of bone
Cy has exhibited since becoming a
big Lacquer.

the ball safe. He faced the pitcher
five times. But he was patient and
clever enough to walk twice and stole
two bases. He crossed the pan once.
What more could be asked of a lead

initial sack.
Clearly leading their league, the
White SOX are up there because they
have been playing good baseball. The
pitching has been competent and be-
hind it has been consecutive and
consistent batting and some fine
fielding. Risberg at short is handling
everything that comes his way and
calls to mind the acrObatic stunts Of
Buck Weaver when that athlete first
broke into the league. With this diff
ference: Risberg is more certain and
accurate in his throwing to first base.
He has yet to pull a wild heave to

Hughie Jennings appears. to have
two or three young pitchers who will
be heard from before the end of the
season. Jones was a puzzle to the
SOx yesterday, and Ehmke has indi-
Gated promise. The American league
race is to be a fight, and, despite the
good form of the Hose, they must
travel at high speed all the way.
The Boston Red Sox, if anything,
are better than last year, and the
Yanks, even with Frank Baker in
jured, form strong combination.
Cleveland is starting at the same hot
pace which fractured the 1916 race,
but the Indians have more expert

should be more capable of maintaing
a fast stride.
Ping Bodie is still whaling 'em. He

Murphy" Many an Australian lives to bless ''Murphy's mules."
 There were so many wounded to be fetched into safety that Murphy con- mandeered pair of mules, and off, cers eonnived at the theft when they found what noble work he was do- ing. He used to leave the animals just under the brow of hill and dash forward himself into the firing line to save the wounded.
 Day after day he climbed the hill, smiling and cheery. But one day Mur- phys mules came not. The wounded cried out to the overworked stretcher bearers: For Gods sake send Mur- phys mules !" The mules were found grazing contentedly in Shrapnel valley and Murphy? He had done his last climb to the top of the hill.
 "Where Is Murphy?" asked one of the First battalion.

EXIST IN PRIMITIVE EASE
Pueblo Indians Live in Exactly the Same Manner as Have Genera.
 tions of Ancestors.

Perhaps the most unique settlement in the United States is the Pueblo h. dian village, located in Arizona. ob- serves the Christian Herald This vil- iage comprises 1 300 peaceable Indians. whose sole and almost only aim in life is to secure livelihood as easily as possible. This settlement Is located in the hottest section of the state, but the excessive heat is not uncomfort- able to these people, whose ancestors have lived in that desert section for unnumbered generations. Wastes of burning sand stretch for miles and miles on every side of this village.
 A peculiar thing about this people Is that they have two distinc. villages. The summer village is located upon the floor of the valley, where the Pueblos occupy themselves in agriculture. The produce they raise, over what they need to eat during these hot months. is stored away for winter use. There are only few places in that section of the desert where water is obtain able, and in these places the Pueblos pursue their primitive agriculture. Seasons come and seasons go, but as each goes by 1t sees these people living as they did during the preceding one. Since the white man first knew of this colony, which was back in the six teenth century, the habits of this tribe have not changed They eat the same kind of food, do the same sort of fancy work and live just as did their ances- tors. So far as is known to historians. this is the oldest colony of any kind in this country.

PAINFUL END TO JOY RIDE
Unfortunate Happening Caused Driver to Think of Resioning From the
 Optimists' Club.

How member of the Optimists' club got into most disagreeable con- pany which made him feel the reverse of optimistic Is being quietly told. The optimist has an automobile and invited his best girl out for ride. It was a most pleasant ride for a time on the roads south of city limits. A cool breeze was blowing, the auto seemed to be the only one travelling in those parts. It was dark and the optimst had plenty of opportunity to squeeze the hand of his girl and to bestow a gentle kiss now and then when the road was straight. Sometimes there would be sharp curve, however, and then the optimst would have to devote his whole attention to the machine. On one occasion the optimist divided his attention, with dire results. His subconsciousness told him that there was curve ahead. He guided the machine gracefully around the curve when he noticed he had passed fence post on either side where farm gate was ajar. Before he could put on the emergency brake there was crash, and then a most alarming cho- rus of squeals. The auto had run squarely into pigpen, and the pork CTS cried aloud in their alarm. The fat swine jolted and rubbed against the machineein their fright, and when the commotion was at it's height an angry farmer reached the scene and wanted to know 'what in the heck the optimist was doing in his pigpen. AS he silently drove back to town with a battered machine and . frightened pocketbook, furrowed look of pes simfsm could have been seen on the face of the optimist if it had not been so dark.-Indianapolis News.

All right" he agreed. Gall me in an hour. Couldn't sleep-wasn't time" He shook off his weariness and smiled at his wife, while his eyes filmed with some emotion. "There IS something I ought to tell you, butt can't now-not now. TCo sleepy" His head dropped again; she forced him back; he stretched himself out with a sigh, and was asleep almost instantly.
 Alaire motioned the others out of the man into whose keeping she had given her life. As she looked her face became radiant. Dave was unkempt, unshaven, dirty but to her he was of a godlike beauty, and the knowledge that he was hers to comfort and guard was even that first love of her girlhood had been nothing like this. How could 1t have been like this? she asked her self. How could she have loved deep ly when, at the time, her own nature lacked depth? Experience had broad ened her, and suffering had uncovered depths in her being which nothing else had had the power to uncover. Stoop- ing, she kissed Dave softly, then let her cheek rest against his. Her man 1 Her man She found herself whisper ing the words.
 For long time she sat gazing at him tenderly then she tiptoed out and delighted the naked Garcia baby by taking him in her arms and hugging him. Inez thought the beautiful birds.
 It was growing dark when Dave was awakened by cool hands upon his face and by soft lips upon his. He opened his eyes to find Alaire bending over him.
 "You must get up" she smiled. Tt is nearly time to go, and Inez is cook ing our supper"
 He reached up and took her in his arms. She lay upon his breast, thrill ing happily with her nearness to him. and they remained so for a while, whis- pering now and then, trying intellectual ly to voice the thoughts that needed no expression.

 "0h, I've been mapping there In that chair, where I could keep one eye on you. I'm terribly selfish can't bear to lose one minute" After while she said: Eve made a discovery. Father O'Malley snores dreadfully! Juanito never heard anything like 1t, and 1t frightened him nearly to death. He says the father must be very fierce man to growl so loudly. He says, too, that he likes me much better than his mother"
 It seemed to Dave that the bliss of this awakening and the sweet intimacy of this one moment more rewarded hin for all he had gone through.

As they climbed the bank and rode onward Into the night she said: "No matter what happens, dear. I shall be happy, for at last one of my dreams has come true" He reached out and patted her. You've no idea what a coward was until you came. But the moment I saw you all my fears van ished. I was like lost child who sud- denly sees It's father; in your arms felt perfectly safe, for the first time in all my life, think. I--I couldn't bear to go on without you, after this."
 Dave found nothing to say; they rode along side by side for time in a great contentment that required nc speech. Then Ahire asked:

 With a little reckless laugh she con fessed, 'T-I'm afraid I'll find 1t din- cult to be conventional"

(From Wednesdays Daily.j

Corn grown this season on the dry farm of U. W. Bosley in Ferguson valley continues to attract spectators, and according to statement made yesterday by J. A. Stapp, who made an inspection of the tract, the heighth attained is IA feet. Some of the stalks have three cars of corn, fully matur- cd, and such a prolific crop has never been known in that section.

RALPH MARSHALL FAILED
 TO GET IN RANKS
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Ralph Marshall a young man of Verde valley, is very much disap- pointed over being unable to leave on Thurs Jay night with the second con tingent of the Liberty Army.
 He is drawn for duty, and appeared before the local board in an endeavor to have his number shifted, but was informed that the set rules must be followed, and he was unsuccessful. Marshall expressed himself yesterday to a group of friends in this emphatic manner:
 There are many of the bunch leav- ing who would gladly have permitted me to take their place. and consider ing some of the physical features ot certain ones and their apathetic dis position to enter the ranks l can see no reason why they should be passed on and l should be passed out. l am not anxious to get into scrap, but desire to go to the front and have 1t over as quick as possible. The soon CT the ttird contingent lines up the better will it suit me and l want all the world to know it."

COUNTRY SCHOOL
 MAKES FINE SHOWING
(From Sundays Daily)

Camp Verde's public school opened this year with an attendance of 9l scholars, which according to data in the county school superintendent's office in this city, is record in the number enrolled never before attain ed. It is also of interest in educa- tional circles, as pertaining to a rural school, in which there is shown an in crease instead of a decrease as is gem erally prevailing in institutions of this class.
 Another marked departure in in struction introduced this year in this school is the adding of a physical culture, domestic science and manual training department, which gives to this country school an exceptional rating, and reflects the advancement made in departing from the course heretofore adopted, in confining edu- cation to a narrow channel. This school is capably handled also, with Prof. George w. Derrick as principal, assisted by Miss Sarah J. Mcdonald, Mrs. Blanche E. Derrick, and Miss Frances l. Russell.

FIRST PRESCOTT
 NATIVE BORN IN FRANCE
(From Sundays Daily)

The whereabouts of the son of MT. and Mrs. I. B. Rogers, we'll known residents of this city, was disclosed during the week and much to their surprise letter from somewhere m France" lifted the veil of the niys- tcry which had enshrouded his mean derings for the past five months. His name is Frank Rogers, and he quietly left Prescott some time in April last, without giving to his parents or any one else the slightest clue as to where he was going or what he proposed to follow.
 To relieve parental alarm, he did, however. drop line from Long Isl and City, New York, on the day he sailed abroad, and his kindly feeling for the "old folks at home" was again evidenced when letter was received from him few days ago in which he stated he was an officer of the Thirty second American aerial squadron and was in action with his airship, single handed.
 If has been learned that this young man of only P years of age, enlisted at Fl Paso on May lst, and inside ot three months had fully qualified as an aviator. He was transferred to the regular division of this arm of the service and made such rapid progress that he was assigned for duty abroad and given a machine to navigate. Young Rogers has exceptional ability in gasoline power mechanics, and hls rapid flight into professional rating IS not surprising to his many friends. He has followed this line of engi- neering since mere boy, and is re- gardcd as an authority in manipulat- ing the engines of this type. Also, he had studied aerial navigation, and his ambition was wrapped in this dan eerous business, which has been at last fully satisfied It is a matter ot pride for his parents and many friends to know that he has the distinction of being the first native-born of Pres colt to enroll with the Allies as an aerial tighter and from his daring na- ture the hope is cxprcssed that he will make good.

WOMAN USED AS DECOY
 TO GET CONFESSION
(From Sundays Daily.J

The State sprung big surprise in the Superior court yesterday af'c-- noon during the trial of Hugh Me Kinnon, who is charged with mur- dering John Simpson. During the afternoon Otto A. Morrisy and Mrs. Jessie Troutz, both of whom claim to have heard Mckinnon confess the de- tails of the murder of Simpson, were placed on the witness stand and told the story of the double murder as it was related to them i'll the county jail by the defendant.
 Morrisy, it seems, was a detective who was locked up in the county jail with Mckinnon shortly after the latter was incarccratcd, the officers hoping that McKinnon would become confidential with his cclmate and make some damaging admissions. Apparently the scheme proved sue ccSsful, for Morrisy gave a detailed account of the murder as it had come from the lips Of the defendant, the story of the detective being corrobo- rated by Mrs. Troutz, also an inmate of the county jail

 FOOD BOARD
(From Tuesdays Daily)

H. D. Aitken, of the Bashford Bur mister Company of this city, has re- ccivcd word to the effect that he has been appointed as the merchant rep resentativc of the food administration for this State, the appointment having come rather unexpectedly and through the recommendation of T. A. Riordan, of Flagstaff, Federal food administrator for the State.
 Mir. Aiken, while still somewhat in doubt as to the exact nature of the duties of his new position, is of the belief that the chief activities of the department with which he is to be connected will be the conservation Tn every possible manner of foods. The elimination of all speculation and hoarding will be sought by the organi- zation, and an effort will be made to prevent a too large supply Of any commodity being shipped into one district when there is an adjacent ter ritory which is suffering from lack of the same article.
 Mir. Aitkcn has been connected with the retail mercantile business for more than quarter of century, and is thoroughly acquainted with every phase of buying, distributing and routing of such commodities as have of necessity come under his study Mir. Riordan has informed Mir. Aitken that a detailed account of the latter 8 activities will be forwarded him with in the next few days.
