usage.
Gov Patterson also touched on the
divorce evil. saying that when certain
localities In the country get their ad-
vertising and publicity from the fact
that divorces are easy to get there,
ii Is time for the government to take
IA hand and make national divorce laws
rather than let the state individually
deal with this problem. He stated uni
formity in divorce laws Is a necessity.

that such assistance will be repaid

The famous Spanish letter has been

The letter, very similar to previous

is as follows.

Weak, Thin, Nervous
People Should Take
Bitro-PhOsphate
What II Is and How Il Increases
Weight, Strength and Nerve-Foree.

Judging from the-countiess prepar-
atoms and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fleshy,
developing arms and neck, and re-
placing ugly hol!ows and angles by
the soft curved lines Of health ana
beauty. there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
Thiauess and weakness are often
due 10 starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contain
ed in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that VIII supply THIS
deficiency so well as the organic
phosphate known among druggists
as bitrophosptIate. which is ineNpen-
siyc ana is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back.
By feeding the nerves directly ana
by supplying the body cells with the
necessary phosphoric food elements.
bitro- phosphate should socn produce
a welcome transformation in the
appearance; the Increase in weight
frequently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
Il a general Improvement in The
health. Nervousness, SiCCplcssness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thsRncss
should soon disappear. dull eyes

LOCALS LOSE TO oRiNNELL.

American Legion Team Orvps Close
Game 10 0rinnsn Lsoionairss
I'VE beat two out OF the three
teams we played, but the third team
beat us"
The above statement by Captain
Harry Gableman, OF the Marshall
town American Legion basketball
team tells the story of their defeat
at the hands OF the Grinnell Legion
team last night by score of ~ TO
20.
The Grinneil cagers, led by Cap
tain Carney, displayed no better
brand OF basketball than the Mar
shalltown team. but the latter We're
unable TO cope with the flock of
substitutes which were sent in
against them. The Marshalltown
players were handicapped by the
large floor, and the Grinnell team
piled up an early lead which they
never lost except in the third quar-
ter when the score was tied for a
few minutes by good work on the
part OF Captain Gableman and War
rem stevens.
The game was slow, and at times
. resembied a wrestling match. both
teams plainly showing lack of condi-
ton. There were many personal
fouls called but the play was free
from exceptional roughness. Meth
er team was able to make u free
throw until the last quarter, when
Marshalltown secured two and Grin
nell one.
Biswell. at forward. scored first
for Grinnen and Stevens hooked the
I first ringer for the local cagers. At
the end of the first quarter the score
was Ne to 4, the Marshslltown men
not being used to the large floor
and leaving their opponents I'M
guarded under the basket.
In the second quarter Grinnell sent
in five new men and while the sub
stitutes did not play as good a game
as had the first five sent in, it gave
the Grinneh stars chance to rest,
which the Marshalltown men did not
have. Stevens and Gableman tied
the score in the third quarter and
Captain Carney. for Grinnell, sent in
his original five and four baskets in
quick succession, was the result.
The game ended with both teams
shooting wildly at the basket and
the bail. under the Marshalltown

ming. The team put on their work with snap and vigor and the officers and members contributed their share of pep in the initiatory work.
 We were sorry to learn of the mis- fortune of several of our members who are confined to their homes on account of sickness.
 There was a nice class of candidates in waiting and were duly instructed in the mysteries of Woodcraft.

 The annual meeting given over to the children this year took place at the Castle Hall, April 30. and was very en- joyable and reflects credit upon the committee responsible for it's produc- tion, and the lodge greatly appreciates the service which undoubtedly repre- sents a whole lot of work
 The program, announced in pre- vious issue of these columns was in ! the nature of an entertainment by the | children, entitled "Mother Goose in 1 Fairyland" in which were scenes al | portrayed by Mother Goose melodies. 1 interspersed with most enjoyable mum bers by little pupils in dancing from | the class of Vivian F1orein Young of | the Arizona School of Music. which 1 with their picturesque costumes and | exquisite rendering added ma terially to the attractiveness of the program.
