enough, III get all their ammunition
SO their guns will be no use"
Saying this, Billy Belgium took
off his coat and began to creep eau
tiously down the face of the cliff,
following a slanting ledge that led
to the bottom. Peggy, watching
breathlessly, saw him go lower and
lower until he disappeared from
view among the rocks behind the
wigwams.
Judge Owl Came Back Very
Quickly.
Meanwhile the Indis-s kept up
their strenuous dance, stamping and
bowling to give vent to their war
like feelings.

clubs and tomahawks.
Peggy strained her eyes to get a
glimpse of Billy Belgium. The moon
came from behind the clouds for a
moment and she made him out be-
hind the wigwams, busily gathering
up all the ammunition he could find.
SuppoSng the Indians should dis
cover him! Peggy gave a SILVER Of
apprehension.
He was taking a lot of time, but
possibly that was because he didn't
want to leave a single weapon for
the savages to use. Finally she saw
him creep away from the guns and
toward the cliff. Then he began to
come up, dragging a gun behind
him.
As he climbed, the moon came out

PRESCOTT HIGH HOLDS
 GURDON FOUNDERS 6 TO 6

Although outweighed thirty pounds to the man, the Prescott Aggies showed the Gurdon team a fast game and outclassed them in all but the first few minutes of play.
 The game was delayed until 1 o'clock on account of late train. Cur don swept Prescott off their feet in the first few minutes of play and scored a touchdown on a series of line bucks. Gurdon failed to kick goal and Prescott received the kickoff and advanced down the field by end runs by White and Huskey Huskey made a run of 40 yards and White one of 15 and then White called a fake play and Frisby ran 20 yards and scored Prescott's only touchdown. Prescott failed to kick goal.
 Gurdon received the kickoff at the beginning of the second quarter and C. White tackled Gurdons center hard and dislocated his right shoul- der and was carried off the field. Frsby substituted for quarterback, Jones for center, Q. Steed for end and ]. Johnson for left half.
 The rest of the game was a bitter fight, Gurdon trying only line bucks and Prescott end runs and fakes. Time was called when Prescott was on Gurdon's 15 yard line. The stars of the game were Gore, Matthews and Wright for Gurdon and White, Fris- by, Huskey and Duke for Prescott
 The crowd of rooters from Prescott did not arrive in time for the game, thus disheartening the Prescott boys.
 prescott's lineup was as follows: H. Duke, f. b.; C. White, C. b.; R. Frisby, l. h. and q, b.; D. Huskey, r. h.; J. Johnson, l. e. and l. f.; C. Hes terly, r. e.. H. Bomar, l. t.; C.

COMMITTEE TO
 CONTROL STOCK
 AND BOND ISSUES
Measure of Rationing Capital in Preparation For Future War LOans-TO Protect Bond Hold CTS From Wild Cat Schemes.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Secretary McAdoo and members of the capital issues committee agreed today that the committee should continue in- definitely it's functions of supervising proposed issues of stocks and bonds for capital purposes, as a measure of rationing capital in preparation for future war loans. At the same time 1t became known that the treasury plans tentatively to float about eight billion dollars more securities during 1919 and hopes to get at least two billion of this sum from war savings.
 Despite the decision to continue the activity of the capital issues commit tee in an effort to suppress fraudulent securities which promoters would seek to exchange for Liberty bonds held by small purchasers, consider able doubt over the future status of the committee still exists in the mind of Secretary McAdoo and other u eas- ury officials, it was said
 Some advocate that congress be asked to give the committee compul- sorry power, which it now lacks, and without which it is feared it cannot make it's restrictions effective after the ardor of wartime cooperation among business interests has cooled. Others suggest that the functions of the committee be taken over by a treasury agency to which the presi- dent might delegate his power, con ferred by the fourth Liberty bond act, to regulate the sale of Liberty bonds In this manner, it might be possible to require promoters who exchange their securities for Liberty bonds to report regularly the amounts thus taken in, and these reports, it is felt, might act as a restraining influence.
