COURT MARITAL
 HELD BY B0YS' WORK RESERVE
Failure to March in Big
 Parade on July Fourth Brings Swift Punishment
 to One Member of Corps

For they're hangin' Danny Deever you can hear the Dead March play, The regiments in ollow square-they're hangin' him today; They've taken of his buttons off an cut his stripes away
 An they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'
 There's a Danny Dever' in Phoenix today, and if his dejected and forlorn
 manner is any criterion, he would rath- CT, by far, have swung in the hang mans moose, as did the poor lad in Kip ling's ballad. than to live in the disgrace that has befallen him as a discharged 1 soldier of the soil in the Boys Work Reserve.
 Out of consideration for the boy, who probably would have done differ ently if he had been given the advice of those who were in a position to ad wise him, and in difference to the camp of which he was member, all names are omitted from the story. The facts are these: When the order came to the Phoe-
 nix camp of the Boys Work Reserve. which is conducted on a semi mi itary basis, to appear with their equipment in the Independence Day parade held in Phoenix, it was accepted as a sol chm and patriotic duty so to do. But, perish the thought, When one of the companies swung into line on
 the day of the parade, there was one
 man missing. Conjecture ran rife as | to the cause. Accident, sickness. per- | haps death-anything but willful dis obedience, were advanced as reasons. The matter was forgotten for the nonce,
 but after the parade. Rumor that un- reliable, tantaliZing Dame with a poison tongue, began to work. 1 It was reported that the missing one l had foregone his oath of allegiance: the reasons for his absence were many. l but if any were true, the suspected one 1 was guilty of reasonable conduct, and was liable to court t-martial on the most
 hated of charges es-desertion. Returning to the camp from the pa rade, a court martial board was ap- | pointed and the accused was given a hearing. The specific charge was that
 he had willfuliy absented himself from i duty contrary to orders The repent l ing lad admitted that he had gone out 1 for an auto ride with his folks and 1 therefore could not be present at the i parade.
 ] Now, boys will be boys, but there
 are times when they step out of their natural roles and assume the responsi- | bility of men. So it was with the boys i who courtmartialed this lad. They de-
 nounced him and renounced him, and finished by giving him a dishonorable 1 discharge from their company. i And so .doWn-hearted Danny 1 Deever' trods the streets of Phoenix. , while out in the camp his mates are singing the refrain:
 1 For they're done with Danny Deever l You can ear the quickstep play

CATCHING FISH
 IN HAY MEADOWS

Farmer boys west of Petersburg Ind, says a dispatch from that place to the Indianapolis News, are having great sport catching buffalo fish left stranded in the meadow ponds after the waters of White river had receded. Henry Colvin was putting up hay when he noticed a commotion in the water at low place in the meadow. He jabbed his pitchfork into the water where the disturbance occurred, but when he attempted to lift the fish, which he had speared, he found the load too heavy for him. Colvin called his father to his aid and when the two raised the fork from the later they found they had two fish instead of one. The larger fish weighed thirtyone pounds and the other all most twenty pounds.

 Registration boards in the counties of some states have declined to act as boards of review stating that they do not care to assume the responsibility of sending their neighbours son to war The boards in Arizona, however, have not shirked the duty, and Colonel Breen is consequently pleased to be able to report that the state is ready for the work of Dassing on eXemption claims.

 "As Men Love" at Lamara
 The dances of modern fashionable cafes are no better shown than in the Pallas- Paramount production "As Men Love" in which House Peters and Myr- tie Stedman will be seen as co-stars at the Lamara theater today for the last time.
 To secure the interior of a typical the dansant" cafe, the Pallas company photographed the interior of well known New York cafe and then repro duced it in exact detail and in order to secure the fashionable society people to act as patrons, they enlisted the ser vices of number of guests of a fla nous Pasadena winter resort. Time hangs heavily upon the hands of the Pasadena winter colony and when they were invited to appear in a scene at a New York cafe. with which the major ity of them were perfectly familiar, they responded with delight, and dur ing the entire afternoon, amused them selves at the studio. Victor Moore will also be seen in one reel comedy, Rough and Ready Reggie"
