 To woo her and to win her. For all the family closely yied In sticking proudly to his side Till he was like to burst his hide
 With .'tushes,'' and with "pishes." And then, at length, he brightly cried Nance, let US do the dishes, For let me boast, across the sea, Although no medals hung on me, l won the thirty third degree

 Fire Prince to Be the 2oth.
 The date of the GIee club play, The Fire Prince" has been changed from February to February 20 The req son for this change $ that the basket ball team is going to Globe and Miami February and will not return for several days. One of the players Murphy Brown. is not only a star at shooting baskets, but he also excels at warbling, so he would be missed by either the team or the cast. Then. also. the basketball fellows and the rooters who expect to make the trip would like to see the play. The only logical thing to do was to change the date of either the trip or the play, and as IL was very easy to change that date 1t was done. so now, fellows, get busy and change yours

PHOENIX INVENTOR
 TELLING TIE EAST
 ABOUT THE VALLEY

A letter has been received at this of lice from Harry J. Bennett who is in the east in connection with one of his inventions, rotary blow, which has at tracted a great deal of favorable at tcntion from manufacturers of agricul- tural implements and especially from the makers Of tractors. But he is giv- ing a great deal of his time to telling the natives about Phoenix and the Salt River valley.
 Writing from Cleveland. he says. I'm still alive and boosting for Phoe- nix and Arizona. There is a lot of people here who know very little about Arizona and less of the Salt River val lev When I tell them that we raise cotton they are more surprised than ever. There is not an evening at the Hollenden (his hoteD, that some one does not ask me. Do you raise oranges 2' and then I tell them that we raise You would laugh to see the looks of some of these people when I tell them that we cut four stands of alfalfa. Several Of these men have told me that they are going out to Arizona this spring to look over the ground"
 As an agricultural expert. MT. Ben ret is not quite sure of his ground for he writes: Say, Billy, do we cut four or five stands of alfalfa? If we don't, and I'm sure that some of these people will look me up, as I gave them my address. cut that much alfalfa. me for the hills when they arrive unless you help me out"
 Mir Bennett played safe. In his un- certainty he erred on the side of mod eration and conservation. Not only are four or five cuttings of alfalfa made in the Salt River valley in a season. there are some times six cuttings, beside one for seed.
 
 T tell them continues Mr. Bennett
 w hat fine city we have and what nice climate. They are most all under the impression that it is hotter than he'll l tell them it's nothing of the Nind; that if it is 90- in Cleveland it is worse than no in Phoenix, and, be- side, we do not have snow and zero 10 contend with.

This bout will be best two in three falls, catch catch can style.
 The Pappas-Gotch match was made ac the request of local fans, the pro- Iooters explained. who demanded that one or the other prove his superiority before Chris Jordan. middleweight wrestling champion Of the world, is brought to this city for a match.
 Gotch has been on the trail of Pap pas for nearly two months, but up until this time. the latter has refused to meet the Los Angeles boy. When Gotch posted S250 as q side bet, together with signing articles of agreement to Mrestle on d winner -take-alI basis, Pappas was unable to conquer the temptation
 Both men have posted S25O as d guarantee of their appearance here Fri day evening. Feb. G. Gotch is; already on the ground and is doing his train Ing Tn this city. He is working diIi- gently for the PaDpas go and each day he and his trainer anauager, Jack woods, can be seen in action at the Y. M. C. A.

WILSON IS STRONG FOR DoUG's
 GIFT
East Room of White House Makes a Crackin' Good Movie Theater.
 By Carolyn Vance Bell

By CdTOiyn rance Oetf
 N E. A. Washington Bureau,
 112S-1134 Munsey Bldg l Washington, D. C. l Scampering nonchalantly across a screen in the East room of the White House, movie stars command atten- 1 tion in a setting that heretofore was reserved for dignitaries, domestic and 1 foreign.
 The celebrated East room has con descended to become movie theater since Douglas Fairbanks took it into his head to give President Wilson a moving picture machine for Christmas. With the gold silk brocaded draper ies drawn close to exclude the light, the president in a wheel-ch chair, with ing family enjoyed the movies on Christmas day.
 Doug certainly hit the nail on the head when he decided such present would please the president. While it cannot be said that the president was ever movie fan. he has always been an enthusiast about things theatrical.
 All during the war he attended the theater regularly once week and very often twice. In doing this he set an example to the nation in not letting war gloom settle too densely and all lowing it to destroy morale.
 One thing he must certainly have missed, since his confinement to the White House, was his visits to the theater. And these visits, had he been physically able to make them, would doubtless have helped his nervous con- dition and taken his mind off the weighty affairs of the world that were contributary to his breakdown This need for entertainment was filled by Doug" in the role of White House Santa.

Let not your hopes be trailing, In days of cold and gloom, Think not the wind is walling And proDhesying doom. The wind is only humming That soon the skies will clear. And better times are coming or all of us. my dear. Let not your mind be clouded With melancholy thought Although in gloom is shroudcd The pathway which is sought. For gloom in sunshine ends. dear. And clouds in sunshine ends, dear, And clouds must drift away While love and hope and friends, dear Are with us every day.

SOME FAIL ID PAY
 TAX ON CHILD LABOR

c. N. Dernier. chief field deputy in the office of collector of internal rev enue, returned yesterday from Los Angeles, where he was in conference for several days with revenue officials of Los Angeles and Washington, D. C., relative to the enforcement of the tax on child labor.
 Mr. Dernicr- stated that the Arizona state laws regarding the employment of children in certain occupations are almost identical with the federal laws. He announced that within a brief period a canvass of the district would be made with the view of collecting taxes due from businesses not com plying with the federal requirements.
 Taxes due from individuals, part nershaps or corporations are collect able at the rate of 10 per cent on in- comes, providing they do not hold strictly to the letter of the law in the employment of children" explained Dernier, who referred to the law which became effective April 1, 1919.

HERE'S MAN WHO HAS PHOTO OF HIS
 GRAVE IN FRANCE

George Ross, our witty and good looking foundry clerk, is world war veteran, says an exchange. After IS months service in muddy trenches of France, where he was gassed, shot and what not, he was duly discharged and sent home. Both he and his young bride agreed with Sherman's opinion on war and tried their best to forget its horrors. However, fate willed otherwise. On Friday, the 18th, his wife received telegram from the war department regretfully informing her that her husband had been killed in action. When confronted with this evidence, George absolutely refused to believe it, and insisted that the ru- mors of his death were greatly exag- gerated. He even wrote to that effect to the war department. However, Uncle Sam would not be convinced. When short time later his wife re- ceived letter confirming to her that George gallantly died in action, she commenced to have suspicious. Poor George still insisted that he was very much alive, but what chance could he have against such evidence? .Imag inc his consternation when some time later his wife received from France a beautifully onamented photograph of his grave with his full name, company and regiment printed in black and white on the white cross. He still pleads that he is not dead, but how can he prove it? We saw his spirit in the foundry office the other day. It looks like George, feels like George, it sounds like George, but Uncle Sam says: "It ain't George. Ray Cop per News.
