The baseball diamond at the Tempe Normal school, this afternoon, will be the scene of one of the hottest inter- scholastic baseball games of this sea- son. The local high school Coyotes will oppose the Normalites in full nine inning game.

 The high school military band will attend the game as well as a large number of Coyotes. who will provide loud sounds and noises to encourage their school team. The Tempeites are expected to be there with the vocal organs as well, and all appearances in dicate a general convention of rooters. Authorities announce that no one will be arrested for tuning their vocal chords" if they practice on one or the iother schools yells or songs.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Speak- ing in defense of the food and fuel ad- ministrations in the senate today, Sen ator Jones of New Mexico, generates both of blame for the recent sugar and coal shortages. He declares their price fixing policies had, saved the country from "chaos and confusion"
 Senator Jones. who was a member of the manufactures committee which investigated the sugar and coal shortages spoke in reply to Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who recently denounced price fixing as failure, planes the fuel scarcity on Adminis- trator Garfield and asserted that the sugar shortage was largely artificial.

CHURCHES WILL
 RUN W. $. S.FOR
 MONTH UT APRIL

The thrift campaign of the war sav- ings committee in the city of Phoenix will be in the hands of the churches of this city during the month of April. Under the direction of Rev. Edward D. Raley the church people will carry on the movement during April and by means of their own devising will strive 10 bring about the sale of thrift stamps and baby bonds'equal in amount to the monthly allotment for this city.
 Arrangements for turning the cam paign over to the church people for one month were completed yesterday by County Chairman J. c. Dobbins. The booths in the various hotels will be conducted by persons named by com mittees selected by the Rev. Raley and his associates. There will also be or ganized and concentrated movements in the churches and sectional work throughout the entire city.
 Mrs. Selim Nicholson who has had direct charge of the work for the past three months has been asked to be re- leved of the responsibility for the month of April. This together with the necessity for the working out of new ideas in order to keep the work moving with a spirit, has actuated Chairman Dobbns to give the church people the chance they have sought. The record set by Mrs. Nicholson has been an en- Niable one and those who will take hold of the reins during April will have no small task to equal her achieve ment.
 The booth in the postoffice yesterday succeeded in disposing of stamps and bonds to the amount of s227. The booth was in charge of Mrs c. E. Lindsey and Mrs. Walter Graham
 
 man. Yesterday was the third day this booth has been conducted under the auspices of the Queen Esther chapter Order of the Eastern Star. On Thurs day with Mrs. A. H. Fitz and Miss Frieda Laveen in charge the proceed. netted about $2O0. The booth today VIII be in charge of Mrs Copeland Schumann and Mrs. Boothman.
 One of the best attended social func. tons of the season was the thrift bal given at the Womans club last Mon, day evening under the auspices of tn, Red Crown War savings society, com posed of members of the Standard Oi company employees staff and thei friends. While dancing was the orde of the evening, cards and tables wer, provided for those who cared to us them.

Governor Grants Hearino

As a result of the students strike against the proposed removal next September of Superintendent R. H. H. tBlome of the Northern Arizona Normal school Governor Hunt yesterday ex- pressed himself as willing to grant a hearing to pr. Blome. The matter now rests with the people at Flagstaff who sought the governors aid in an effort to settle the strike, said the governor yesterday. But this hearing will have to be held within the next few days or go over for at least a month, as the governor expects to leave for Wash ington soon.
 The governor announced he was not treating with the students as a body but that he was anxious to see the matter at the school adjusted. c. O.. Case, superintendent of public instruc- ton, in answer to a wire from Flag staff, said that he would not attempt to adjust the matter singly, that it was a matter for the board as a. whole to decide. With him on this normal school board are John Hennessey and E. T McGonigle of Flagstaff.
 Case Most Delicate One
 Discussing the strike yesterday Mr. Case said it was a delicate situation. The board as body" said MT. Case,
 mdue the appointment of G. E. Cor nelius to succeed Dr. Blome; and it is the natural conclusion that the board as whole must act now, if any action is found necessary"
 Coincident with the strike at the Northern Arizona Normal school was the departure yesterday of the three commissioners on public institutions for Flagstaff, headed by Leroy A. Ladd, chairman and formerly secretary to Governor Hunt. It is customary for the commissioners to visit every six months every state building under their jurisdiction. At their office in the Icapitol yesterday it was announced that this trip had nothing to do with the strike of the students.
 The governor late yesterday had re- ceived no word from Flagstaff as to the proposed hearing of Dr. Blome

 In this connection he makes it clear, however, that the government nor the food administration has taken no stand as to what crops shall be produced, feeding crops, food crops or cotton. Greater production is the main issue.
 Dairy Stand is Fair One
 In conclusion, says Elliott, "Dairying throughout the United States has taken the extremely fair stand of asking no more than bare living for the period of the war and this movement must spread to all business, to all lines of en- deavor if we are to win out It is my opinion that reasonable profits can not be left safely to the individual iudg- ment of men or corporations interested. That means that congress must inter- polate equaliZing factors and allow a control of prices on all things that enter into the necessaries of life. This I am sorry to say, congress has refused to do and too many congressman today are content to do their bit for their country by criticism whichNs anything but constructive.
 This criticism is based on the claims of the vociferous minority. It should not be regarded seriously in
 time like this and yet this influence to- day is seriously menacing the effective ness of the work of the food adminis-
 tration and other departments of gov 1 ernmental work.
 | Ninety per cent or more of the peo-
 pie are loyal but silent; the ten or
 less per cent through their congress-
 men are stirring up trouble which can
 only lead to very disastrous results. 1 Ihls IS a situation which every loyal Arizonan should condemn in the most
 outspoken fashion. Cooperation is vital. Unfounded criticism is demoral- | izlng the very forces through which we
 nave aimed to win this war. Co-oper-
 aton means victory much sooner.

ernment at this time are in incom- petent hands. To the contrary let us tell the truth and say to the world that the resources of this country are being successfully mobilized for the purpose of the war;
 Jones Resents Criticism
 Senator Jones resented the Massa- chusetts senator's criticism of the fuel administration as being a bureau largely composed af amateurs declar- ing the fuel and also the food admin istrators are both well qualified and with the organizations they have creat- ed, are serving the country solely for patriotic reasons
 Senator Lodges speech was referred to as an example of studied and de- liberate word lashing,'' it's tendency being to bring the entire administra- tion into "disrepute"
 To refute Senator Lodges statement that no actual sugar shortage existed, Senator Jones said that agricultural department reports show that on Au- gust 31, 1917, sugar stocks were 125,- 900 tons below normal.

johnson as Literary Autocrat.

The Great Cham of Literature was
term formerly general in Its ap-
pllcation to Samuel Johnson, arising
from reference to that quaint and
autocrntic master OF letters in let
ter from Doctor Smollett to John
Wilkes in 1853. The term suggests
the Great Cham (sometimes CHAM of
Tartary whom many writer's of that
day employed as figure typifying
despotism. In the letter referred to,
however, the term Is used somewhat
ironically, for the so-called Great
Cham had appealed to Smollett to Sc
cure the discharge of his negro serv-
ant from the navy and 1t was through
wilkes, who had nursed grudge
against Johnson, that the discharge
was procured. Smollett's inference
was that under such circumstances
the Great Cham was humble man.
