Fl. L. Kramer, the man who
originated Cascarets, has discov-
cred a sure, safe, quick acting
relief for bad stomachs.
You can eat anything you like
now and digest it in comfort, for
stomach ease is positively assured
ifyou take an EATONIC tablet or
two occasionally after each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with
the food as it enters the stomach.
Itquickly checks any tendencyto-
ward too much acid and enables
the food to pass from the stomach
into the bowel in a sweetened con-
dition, and thus prevents the for
nation of sour, distressing gases
that upset digestion and cause a
bloated, dull, lumpy feeling, food
repeating, and all kinds of stom-
ach miseries.

Productivity of Base Ball

The arguments of the National and American league magnates against the dictum of Provost Mar shal General Crowder that baseball is non-pro ductive occupation does not the whole ground and not enough of the ground to be convincing. According to the statements of the magnates it is productive of taxes to the government and so, to some extent the pool tables of the country. The nasnates further claim that baseball officials and players have invested more than $l6,OOOOOO in war bonds and that the baseball plants, exclusive of Inc franchises and the proprietary interest in the players, worth more than OOOOO all of which would be destroyed if the provost marshal generals view should prevail
 The last item may compare with the distillng industry which has many times si6OOoOOO invested fin plants and which yielded far more in taxes to the government than baseball does. Yet, the govern ment thought it could get along better during the war. at least without the disting industry than with it. We would not of course. institute com parson of the morals of the national game and the whisky industry.
 The taxes paid by base ball and the loan sub scriptions which from that industry may be regarded as negligible in comparison with the sea- ona receipts of either of the great eagues receipts that from the public upon which the govern ment is dependent than it has ever been in all it's history.
 
 his season. or likely to be during the war vast of money would be diverted from the pockets of millions of people into the pockets of a few thousand high salared ableboded young men whose energies directed toward nothing in the way of winning the war.
 The magnates point out that if base ball is held 10 be non- productive occupation and the players forced into productive occupations, many of them will be unable to support themselves much less to buy bonds. That may be true but what of the money of the millions which shall not have been poured into the box office9 That will still be exs- tent and fluid and much of it will be at the disposal of the government.
 These young men, the base ball players, may not at first make full hands in the hay field the wheat field the potato patch, in the factory, but they will learn. Meanwhile, the little they accomplish will be something helpful, while their achievements the diamond would be nothing for the war, which is now the chief business and concern of all.
 The magnates have not made out good case.

START
 ORGANIZATION FUR
 SELLING PURPOSES

CHANDLER, June 2S.-On Friday night in the l.. D. $. chapel, there was held most enthusiastic and business like meeting of the hay growers of the territory tributary to Chandler. A rep resentative number of ranchers were present and the proposition of the or ganization of the Salt River Valley Hay and Grain association fully eX plained to them by Edward Patee and Elijah Allen, both of whom have been appointed by Mir. Buchanan, of the food | administration bureau, as organizers of the association. These men have been | giving practically their entire time dur | ing the past three weeks to the work, and their efforts combined with that of other interested men, are bearing l fruit The Gilbert Hay Growers or ganization recently disbanded, becom- | ing merged into this larger plan. At the Chandler meeting the entire num- Der present signed up for membership. It is believed that under the combined marketing plan of the new organiza- tion, hay will sell within the very near future at s20 per ton, at any rate the farmers will be in position to get the benefit of the best price without having to throw their hay on the market at whatever price the buyer offers.
 There are no salaried offices in con- nection with the work being done and | Messrs. Allen and Pattee urge that the | hay growers sign up without being | sought out personally. Blanks for mem bership may be had at the Reliable Hardware company at Chandler and at the Kelly -Diehl-Allen office at Mesa
 It is further stated by these organ izers that the newly formed associa- tion should meet with the hearty com mendation of the public. It means more money to the farmers and at the same time the ultimate buyer, who needs hay for his stock, will pay pos sibly less than were the product mani pulated as of old.
 Present indications are that within
 the next few days evaEy hay grower ir the valley will be enrolled in the Salt
 River Valley Hay and Grain associa- ton.

ALWAYS \ CHANCE
 ID R|SE IN NAVY

"There is always chance to make good in the navy" says MT. Gale, chief yeoman, who has only been in the navy four years.
 q entered the navy as landsman for yeoman at 17.60 and | went in with the intention of making good. l spent my spare time at studying and have now gained by wish. There is a good chance for each and every one who will only try, every one in the navy is willing to help you if you intend to make good and put your time to some thing that will be a benefit to your self'
 MT. Gale says his advice to young men from IS years up is to enter the navy and go in with the intention of becoming a commissioned officer, as the navy needs officers as well as en- listed men. The navy is sending men to different colleges to train them for officers, such as Harvard, Columbia, Yale and several others, to take differ ent courses which will develop them mentally and enable them to secure commission. MT Gales has been on recruiting duty for some time in the San Diego and Arizona district. Mr Gale left on last evenings train for San 1 Diego, where he will receive further | orders.

The Jones Amendment

The few remarks of Representative Randall of California on the Jones amendment to the emergency agricultural bill last Friday are likely to be taken seriously in parts of the country, and, whether or not they really applicable they may create issue which the result in many a congressional district will hang next fall.
 The Jones amendment proposes the prohibition of the use of grain during the war in the manufacture of beer Mir. Randall favors the amendment strongly and inerprets whatever hesitation there may be to Inc adoption of it to be fear of the political effect On side the great breweries and allied interests in the cities, and on the other the strong prohibition sentiment in a majority of the rural districts. If Mr. Randalrs interpretation should become widespread. representatives who oppose the amendment would have a lot of explaining to do to dry constituents Mir. Randall elected tn. democratic and prohibition tickets and the appeal he makes is directly to the democratic mem- bcrs.
 About the only defense a member seeking re-elec- tion can make of his in voting against the amendment would be his belief of the effect its oper ation would have war work. Indeed, he would have behind him the statement of Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board that the cutting off of the supply of the worlSmen would reduce production by 25 per cent But would the dry voters accept that statement of a fact?
 If they would have to jettison the pretty we'll established belief of all citizens that beer does no, contribute to efficiency Quite the contrary. It has been the testimony of railroad managers and factory managers that alcohol in any form is brake on efficiency. On all railroads and in the more ad- vanced industrial plants the drinking of alcoholic beverages has long been discouraged. In many of them it has been absolutely prohibited and in some plants man who is known to indulge even slightly is barred from employment.
 There has been protest by labor, far as we have heard against the proposed amendment. Labor in this country far it could express itself through organized labor has generally been the side of prohibition. One distinguished labor leader has spoken against prohibition, but he did not pre- tend to convey the views of organized labor but his own personal views. He made claim that proh- bition would disastrously affect dissatisfy or yanized labor
 The statement of Mir Colby though would apply 70 conditions abroad, especially in England, where 'hev are the reverse of conditions in this country.

cAIILEMEN LOSING MONEY

writer in the June Farm and Preside says:
 Cattle receipts at Chicago during January were the lowest since August and 20 cent less than for January 1917. Nevertheless, the average price for beef cattle weighing 1200 to 1500 pounds was the lowest of any month since March, 1917. This condi tion extremely unfortunate for the cattle feeder in view of the fact that many of the cattle coming to market at this time bought in competition with packer buyers the high market of September and October
 "The serious shortage of ears for eastern ship ments from Chicago together with extreme weather conditions, factor largely responsible for the condition. Independent eastern order buyers were practically eliminated from the market, and left packers in full control.
 "The attitude of cattle feeders toward the com Ing seasons operations is probably best indicated by the noticeable falling off in stocker and feeder ship ments during January. From 33 principal markets there 21O.623 cattle shipped to the country de- crease of 22 per cent from January, 1917. Chicago shipments of ess5 only 40 per cent of January, 1917. and the lightes of month for the five years, with the exception of the period of the foot and-mouth disease"
