Tho Fighting Elephants

sGFTNHREE fighting elephants loaded

Peggy.

beasts heard him, and trumpeted back.

battle royal when the great creatures
met. Peggy looked anxlously at Oo-
la-la, who WAS searching through his
pockets. Presently he brought out o
little bag of powder.
"Gee- whillikers - he sighed looking
at it. ttThat's an awful little bit Of
magic with which to overcome three
awful big, and raging elephants.
Peggy thought the same thing and her
heart sank.

consin. Republican, based its obiec-
tions to the enforcement bill reported
out by the committee on three prin-
clpal grounds, and challenged the pow
er of Congress to pass it because in
defining Intoxicating liquors, it went
beyond the original act, and was
therefore, new legislation.
On the general question of the war
time act and it's enforcement the min
ority report held:
"That the provision for the enforce
ment of wartime prohibition carry a
definition of intoxicating liquors
which extends the prohibition beyond
that of the original act, and to that
extent is new legislation which Con-
grcss has not the right now to pass
under the war power. We believe the
original act should be repealed.
"That is to constitutional prohibi-
ton, section 2, of the amendment pro-
vides that:
"Ihc Congress and the several
otates snail nave concurrent power to
enforcement Of this article by appro-
pirate legislation, and the bill pre-
scntcd is wholly upon the theory that
the action Of Congress is supreme, and
totally ignores the concurrent power
Of the several states
THAT the bill goes beyond the pro-
hibitions of the constitutional amend
ment, particularly in defining intoxi-
eating liquors." so as to include bever
ages that are not, in fact, intoxcat-

The views Of minority as to enforce

forth as follows:

Washington, July 7.-Fivc members
of the House judiciary committee in
minority report on the prohibition
enforcement bill made public tonight
declared Congress should repeal the
wartime prohibition act or at least
hit the ban in so far as it relates to
the manufacture and sale of light
vines and beers.
While this report was being pre-
pared Chairman Volstead, of the judiA
ciary committee, announced that he
had asked for a rule to make the gen
era: enforcement bill in order for i'm
mediate consideration with view to
caElng 1t up tomorrow in the House
The general view, however, was that
consideration would go over until
Thursday.
Mr.. Volstead said that so far as he
was aware there was no intention Of
separating the measure so as to put
before the House a straight bill for
enforcement of the wartime law.
Members said last night one mans
guess was as good as another's as to
whether the prohibition question
would be called up tomorrow.

Announces That Adn1inlstra-

On F|ours withdrawn.

Specific maximum margins for all
dealers in wheat mill feeds. wheat
flour and mixed flours have been
withdrawn" NJ. p. Johnston, acting
federal food administrator for New
Mexico. announced yesterday. This
does not, however, annul the food adj
ministration's requirements that the
annual net profits on all feeds shall
not exceed per cent. calculated on
sales of all feeding stuffs. including
wheat mill feeds,
The specific margins for dealers
in cotton seed cake and meal, rice
products and drid pulp remain in eff

food administration considers that in
sales of feeding stuffs at retail the
advance of any individual sale should
in no case exceed the purchase price
delivered at warehouse door, plus Is
per cent. This also applies to the sale
of corn. oats. rye and barley at re-
tail as feed
1T is we'll to bear in mind that the
function of the food administration
to curb profiteering has in no way
been relinquished," said Mr.. Johnston.
ut may be found expedient to with
draw specific margins on certain
commodities. but this will not open
the door to profiteering in such COM

Mr.. Johnston added:

FIRE IN CHURCH FAILS
TO PREVENT SERVICES

A fire which started in tho base
ment of St Johns EPISCOPAL church,
Fourth street and Silver avenue. sun
day morning caused damage estimat-
ed at $1,000. The damage was done
chiefly by heavy clouds of smoke
which discolored the walls and deco
rations of the church.
The fire was discovered by the JAM
tor, who, going to the church shortly
before 8 O'Clock, saw smoke pouring
from the roof. He called the firemen.
The fire had burned hole through
the floor. but the firemen prevented
its spreading. Their work gained
praise from members of the church,
including George s. Klock and George
s. Valiant But for their quickness
in checking the fire It is doubtful if
services could have been held in the
church. AS it was services were held
as usual.
Assistant Fire Chief william Col
lister believed the fire was started by
defective wiring in the basement.

VISITOR To DUKE
CITY SHOWS WHAT
CRIPPLE CAN Do
Dr. N, Q, Clayton, who Lost
an Arm Five Years Ago, Re-
educateS Himself; Points
Out Handicaps of Manned,

Is a one-armed man. a one-legged
man. or man otherwise crippled q
burden on the community? Not ac-
cording to DR.. Mortimer q. Clayton
who has been spending several days
in Albuquerque. At least DR.. Clayton
is certain that a one-armed man need
not be n burden on anybody, for he
himself has demonstrated otherwise
While 1t IS true that some men are
so badly crippled that they would ex-
perience difficulty in taking care of
themselves, this does not apply in
n majority of cases. The success or
failure of crippled man depends
largely unon the individual himself
and upon society,
DR. Clayton was not always a Grip
pie. 1t was not until five years ago
that he was the victim of an acct
dent, a fall, which made it necessary
that his left arm be amputated at the
shoulder. Many a man thus handi-
capped and given up and became an
, object of charity. But not DIR. Clay
ton. He Immediately set about re-
educating himself. and now he can
play the piano, wheel n wheelbarrow
! with most any weight of load, handle
garden tools efficiently and do nearly
everything q man with two arms can
do.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
doctor has undergone thirty-two
major operations since his injury was
sustained, he IS a splendid specimen
of physical manhood. standing six feet
two inches in height and weighs 165
pounds.
DR.. Clayton's case Is particularly in

is his opinion. first, that even If a man

| come a burden on the state, and. Sec
ond, that society is responsible for
many cripples becoming down and

case that a man with any physical

FISHING IS GOOD
 IN THIS DICTR|CT.

It is remarkable how the fishing has improved during recent years around this community, since in previous years it was almost impossible to spend the day in arch of the finny tribe with success.
 However. at the present time, it can truthfully be said the sportsmen of the Salt River valley are continuously making big hauls, and their efforts are such that such fish as black bass, sal mon, trout, perch, cat fish, carD. bony tails, crappie and yellow fins are run ming in large quantities.
 These fish ~ro found in the rivers. sloughs and canals of this vicinity and can be cau0ht easy by the lovers of this sport with the use of a hook and line. The bass, cranoie, perch, trout and salmon are being caught most successfully with spinners for bait. While the cat fish, carp, and yellow fins are biting on live bait, fish worms and raw meat
 Fishermen are also catching the so- called soft shell turtles which are great for making turtle soup. The soft shell turtles are numerous in the rivers and sloughs.
 At Roosevelt lake. the boats are seen daily out trolling for bass, trout and salmon; these fish can also be caught from the banks, as well as from the dam by the use of a casting rod. Luck Is a thing of the past in fishing at the present time, for most everybody is having good success who undertakes the art of placing their lines where the fish are running in large schools, where heavy catches are certain.
