A RAW, SORE THROAT
Eases Quickly When You Apply
a Little Musterole.

And Musterole won't blister like the
old-fashioned mustard plaster. Just
spread it on with your fingers. It pene-
trates to the sore spot with gentle
Jingle, loosens the congestion and draws
out the soreness and pain.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment
made with oil of mustard. It is fine for
quick relief from sore throat, bronchitis,
tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck, asthma, neu-
-falgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy,
rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of
the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chiiblains, frosted feet, colds on
the chest lit often prevents pneumonia.
Nothing like Musterole for croupy chill

ASK new MEXICO TO
PAVE BORDERLAND


Secretary Thomas Egan of the War
rem District Commercial club, has sent
an appeal to the New Mexico State
Highway commission, asking that they
favorably consider expanding the
funds exportioned that state by the
federal government and those appro-
priated by the legislature on the con-
struction of sections of the Border
land highway and thus bring through
this district the bulk OF the tourist
traffic that flows back and forth
across the continent
At present there is % miles of
paved highway in, Cochise county and
so miles of graded and surfaced
road now complete. 1t is Mr.. Egan's
contention that if for nothing more
than an economical standpoint the
money to be expended in New Mexico
should be used in connecting up with
good roads already completed in Co
chise county, thus aiding both Arizona
and the neighboring state. and every
effort will be made to impress upon
the highway commission the necessity
for cooperation among the two baby
states if they are to mutually enjoy
the benefits that will be derived from
the heavy tourist travel to and from
the Pacific coast

Leaders in ORGANIZED Baseball
on Stand in Federal
League Suit

WASHINGTON, April Z. - Three
leaders in organized baseball testified
today in the District of Columbia SUI
preme court in the 100000 damage
suit OF the Baltimore Federal league
against the National and American
leagues and certain officials of the de-
funct Federal league.
August Hermann, chairman of the
national baseball commission, was re-
called for cross-examination by coun-
sci for the Baltimore club as to the
signing of the peace pact and nego-
tiations leading up to it. B, Bancroft
johnson, president of the American
league, and Connie Mack, president of
the Philadelphia American league
club, were the other witnesses.
Mack testified as to relations exist
ing between club officials and players
in organized baseball and cited num-
Der of instances designed to counter
the plaintiffs charges that organized
baseball was monopoly and players
were permitted no privileges. The
court room was thrown into an up
roar time and time again by the droii
answers made by Mack during cross
examination.
President Johnson denied that the
American league was operated for
profit although the constituent clubs
were so operated. The reserve rule
in players contracts, attacked by the
Baltimore club as an evidence of mo-
nopoly, was said by Mr.. Johnson to be
Just as essential to baseball clubs as

Palmer to FghtDebs appeal


WASHINGTON. April 7--Attorney
General Palmer announced in state
ment tonight that he would oppose
strongly any effort to obtain executive
clemency for Eugene v. Debs, the so
cialist leader, sentenced to 10 years
Imprisonment tfor violation Of the es-
pionage act
The attorney general said he had
received several communications urg
ing him to recommend clemency for
Debs.
Mr.. Palmer said he believed mis-
duty in the Debs' case to be clear,
and was convinced that "he would be
doing grieyous wrong TO the country
fleet" he continued, but we had the
satisfaction of knowing that in quality
we ranked, ship for ship, with the best

OF the merchant seamen, the rea.
admiral spoke in high praise, declar-
ing they stood us through it all, and
some of them, it seemed, could not get
torpedoed often enough to suit them.
He said there might have been a diff
ferent story to tell" but for the cour-
age of these men in sticking to their
posts and freighting American sup
plies to Europe, regardless of whether
conveys were available. The war, he
added, had given both the navy and
the merchant marine true apprecia-
ton of their worth.
