This is the first time in the states history, according to Mir. Boyce, that there has been a balance in the gen. eral fund.
 Charles R. Howe, member of the tax commission, stated that he has not given the budget study, but that in his opinion the half million asked for by the vocational educational depart ment of the state is exhorbitant. While he said he appreciated the fact that the work had grown. he did not. be- lieve it had expended to such an eX tent that pr. R. H. H. Blome should ask for that amount in addition to the funds furnished by the federal gov ernment The appropriation last year was S1S2,000

MEN WHO JOIN ARMY MAY PICK STATION;
 HAWAII 4 FAvOR|TE

Among the many privileges open to young men enliSting in the army at the present time for period of three years is that of serving at any post they may prefer. This makes it possible to visit any one of our overseas possessions which includes the Canal Zone. the Philippine Islands and Hawaii. While all of these places are full of interest to the youngster who has never been away from his home town, there is no doubt that the garden spot of the Pa cific Hawaii would hold him in fas- cination, and his years of service in this land of perpetual summer would live in his memory as among the hap piest of his life.
 Here he would find a climate where fogs and cold winds are unknown. while the warmth of a tropical sun is cooled by the ocean breezes from the old Pacific. He can enjoy swimming on the finest beaches in the world, with surf riding, boating and fishing that is beyond description. The isl ands are covered with a tropical growth and such fruits as bananas, guavas. mangoes, alligator pears and pineappies are found in abundance. The largest sugar plantations in the
 world are on the Hawaiian Islands and
 their hundreds of acres of cane can be seen far out at sea as the transport
 swings in toward Diamond head. The celebrated crater of Kilaue, known as of the few active vol canoes in the world, is within easy reach of Honolulu and is an object of interest which many tourists spend hundreds of dollars to visit every year. A trip to this wonderful lake of fire can
 be enjoyed by any soldier stationed in l the islands.
 | At the present time the army is ac- cepting recruits for Hawaii in the coast artillery, cavalry, infantry and med | ical department.
 ! Call at the local army recruiting sta
 ton for further information regarding an enlistment for service in Hawaii,
 where one can enjoy the cool shade Of the palm, the balny ocean breezes and listen to the tinkle of the ukelele and | the soft music of the natives while 1 serving three years for Uncle sam in | the Paradise of the Pacific.

GRANT EMP PLOYS STECHER HOLD
 TO BEAT SAUER
Stecher Protege Is Victim Of Hold Perfected By His Patron-C Champion Coach es Local Favorite for Bouts Here-Much Inter- est Shown in Return Go

How Thomas Grant, jiu jitsu expert and one of the marvels of the wrest- ling art, tricked Pete Sauer, Stecber proteSe, with a Stecher hold on-the oc- caslon Of their first meeting here ten days ago, was brought to light yester- day. Grant and Sauer have been matched for return bout to the fin lsh, If 1t takes an hour or a fweek' The big event, by far the cream of the seasons wrestling contests, will be de- cloed at Tally's open -air arena next Friday night
 Fans who witnessed the first en- counter will recall how Grant fre- quentiy put his leg in Sauer's crotch as If attempting a crotch hold of some sort The first impulse of a wrestler Tn such an emergency is to grab the foot. The aggressor, thereupon, slaps member unless the opponent gives with the twist and goes to the mat.
 Steeher Conceived Hold.
 This is a Stecher hold. pure and sim pie, devised and perfected by the : worlds champion heavyweight Stech- CT is regarded one of the smartesr wrestlers the art has ever known He has probably conceived and perfected more bits of trickery and more holds than any other man.
 It was only natural to suppose that Sauer, as a protege of Stecher, would be on to all of the champions trick cry, but not so in this instance. On the contrary, the hold so frequently employed by Grant ten days ago was one of Stecher's latest.
 When Grant met Stecher in the east a few months ago, the Dodge City him. Grant learns quickly, and he inn mediately seized the oportunity and included the hold in his repertoire as one of his own-
 
 eral months, and the only comInunica- tion had between the two has been by mail. In consequence, Stecher has been handicapped in coaching the Phoenix favorite.
 Stecher Coaching Sauer.
 And so it was on the occasion of the first Grant Sauer meeting, the Stech- CT protege was tricked by a Stechel hold. And this Stecher hold. by the way, nearly caused the downfall ol Pete here. for on two or three differ ent occasions, he succeeded in squirm- ing from the hold when it seemed cer- tain that his shoulders were to be forced to the mat.
 It has been known for some time that Stecher is constantly coaching the local boy. Two or three lengthy letters are received each week by Sau- CT from the worlds heavyweight title holder, and many Sauer supporters be- lieved that these letters of instruction have played an important part in the remarkable development of Saue, here. His progress has been so rapid that it has been plainly evident iron match to match.
 Pete gains experience with eacl succeeding match. He learned a grea deal in his initial encounter with Gran and he will not fall a victim to tn many bits of trickery employed b Grant when they first met.
 Return Match Enthuses Fans.
 Not in weeks have fans been s aroused over a sporting event i Phoenix. They're talking about tn coming meeting on nearly every stree corner and fans are looking forwar to one of the greatest exhibitions ( the head spinning art of the season
