FAST WRESTLING BOUT TO BE STAGED FRIDAY
 WOODMEN OF WORLD

wrestling bout that promises to make history in Phoenix sport circles has been arranged for next Friday night, March 2S, in Arcadia hall. Jack Wood, United States navy, and Gus Pappas, middleweight coast champion, have signed articles to meet on the mat at that date in a finish match. The event will be held under the auspices of the Woodmen of the World, who will add whatever money is cleared by them to their local fund for charity work.
 Both Wood and Pappas are known here as good men. Wood participated in w. o. W. match with Bud Ander- son, local champion, two weeks ago and made very good impression with his speedy work, although the match was interrupted by an accident to Ander- son. who suffered a broken rib in the heat of the contest. Wood has served the last two years on the coast in the navy, most of the time as wrestling instructor for the naval reserves at San Pedro. He is mat veter5n with remarkably good record.
 Pappas is conceded to be one of the best wrestlers on the coast, being pres ent holder of the middleweight cham pionship there. Among his recent vic tories were those over Constanoyis and Tony Ajax, both known as good men in California.
 Under the terms of the agreement the two wrestlers have signed for the W. 0. W. benefit bout each will weigh in in the neighborhood of 165 pounds. The match will be to finish, best two falls out of three, with no time limit This promises the kind of contest wrestling fans are always looking for. and when the match ends, one of the two men will be decisively defeated.
 Bud" Anderson of Phoenix. who has agreed to referee the match, last night declared the match would be clean cut, hard fought affair from start to finish. T know Jack Wood. and l have wrestled with him, and I want to say he is absolutely on the level and a mighty good wrestler" said Anderson. I've known Pappas good many years, too, and I think he is every bit as good as Wood. l want to say that the match will be one of the best we've eyer had here, and I know both men are going out to win
 Both Wood and Pappas have begun training for the match. Wood is get ting into form at the Y. NJ. c. A.,

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing

ldealism and the League of Nations To the Editor of The Republican, Dear Sir:
 It has been said that the Americans are idealists. Let us suppose that thev are. It is the first duty of an idealist to be patriot-to serve his own coun- try, After he has secured the safety and prosperity of his own country (if he has any surplus idealism left over) the idealist may then turn his atten- ton to other peoples countries.
 The Simple question for us to con- sider is, Will America benefit by this league" or alliance with European powers? It has been an accepted law, since the days of Washington. that such alliances were to be summed. We do not need or desire any European alliance. We are prosperous and con- tented. We are afraid of no country or combination of countries. We did not make the war. The war was forced upon US. The war was a European war, the last of a long series of Euro pean wars for conquest. If the Euro pean nations are tired of fighting with each other, and desire to form a league to enforce peace, in the name of sanity, let them do so. Ii will never be neces- sary to force peace upon America
 Personally. 1 believe that the inde- pendence and safety of America would be threatened by our entrance into the alliance. An American of three gene rations said to me yesterday that the League of Nations was the greatest menace to America since the civil war;

Appropriations of Two States

Kansas is going to be some state'," wired cor respondent at Topeka the day following the adjourn mcnt of the legislature. This statement was based on the circumstance that the appropriations made by the legislature for the ensuing years slightly in excess of s14,OOo,oOO. But Kansas is not the only pebble on the beach and if greatness is measured by appropriated millions it only a slightly bigger pebble than Arizona, whose appropriations about the time for the same period amounted to a little than s12,OOo,OOO.
 The difference between the overhead expenses of these two commonwealths entirely dispropor donate to other differences which appear.
