mission of $4,000, making the deal
one representing $4,000.
Hendricks beat it for st. Louis and
put the proposition before J. A. G.,
Jones, chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Cardinals. Jones was
in favor of making the deal, accord
ing to Hendricks, and made the re-
mark that 'no ball player is worth
that much money" However he said
he would have to submit the offer to
Hickey with a recommendation that
it be accepted. Hickey refused to sell
Hornsby, however.
In his eagerness to make the deal,
Hendricks offered to increase the cash
offer to $4,000, the extra $1,000 rep
resenting half of his commission Of
$4,000, but to no avail.
Hendricks refused to name the
Giant players mentioned in the deal.

In signing their contracts" he said.

oisreuard Korean PreIudices.

One of the great obstacles to road
and railway development in Korea n
Japanese days was the fact that
many graves blocked the way, it be-
ing the greatest outrage among the
Koreans to disturb a grave of either
a father or a remote ancestor. The
general belief was that no matter how
innocent the descendants might be of
disturbing the graves, disasters and
punishments were sure to come TO
them in consequence of such violation.
The japanese. however, built the
roads quite regardless of graves, and
in accordance only with principles of
engineering. Moreover, they robbed
the graves or treasures buried with
the dead, exhibiting them latas with
archaeological enthusiasm not under
stood by the Koreans.

The internal evidence OF long
standing dIsharmony between the
president and the secretary Of state,
contained in the final correspond
cnce attending the secretary's
resignation, seems to compel the
conclusion that the resignation
should have come year ago. On
The one side, the president tcstifies
that the secretary for some time
had accepted his guidance and di-
lection only with increasing re-
luctance": on the other side, the
secretary testifies that ever since
January, 1919. he has observed that
his advice has not been welcomed,
Under ordinary circumstances this
state of affairs should have been
ended much earlier than it has
been. for little is gained by pro-
1pnging a ministerial relation from
which mutual confidence and trust
have departed
But the circumstances which for
j whole year forbade the secretary
TO resign also forbade the president
20 force the RESIGNATION. The presi-
dents difficulties in peace-makine
would probably have been increased
had he let Mr.. Lansing retire be-
i5re he went TO Paris or ar any
time during the treaty negotiations;
and since the American peace com,
mission came home. as the secre-
tary truly points ont in this cor
resnondence, one imnortant con
sideration or another has postponed
the break viii h now appears to
have been only a question Of time.
Had the secretary resigned after his
return to the United States, the
RESIGNATION would have been con
,trued az sfgna,izing his disapprov-
n of the presidcnt's work At Paris

How would you like to be the watchful mother of a son whom you did not want to see married, and then suddenly discover that your guests, a mother and her daughter, were con- spring to marry the daughter to him Then when the tension was broken by the news that your youngest son had married Peggy, the daughter, and that the family title was still intact, to sud- denly discover that your eldest son, Lord Crackenthorpe, was engaged to Peggys mother. What would you do if you were Lady Crackenthorpe, for that is who the lady is, who has her son?
 That is the situation that arises in All of Sudden Peggy. the P. H. $. senior class play this year.
 Helen Casey as Peggy, the daughter; Beula Chambers as her mother; Doro thy Brownfield as Lady Crackenthorpe, and Allen Campbell and Orville Tucker in their respective parts, are unex- celled The whole play is character ized by clever lines. and it may be safely said that they have lost none of their cleverness through an amateur production.
 Because Of the cost of entirely new scenery and the fact that it is neces- sary to fill the auditorium on both nights, the senior class is making every possible effort to make the play a success. Seats will be on sale at Vic Hanny's until Saturday evening May 15. The play will be presented May fl and 15.

BOYS 1T H|GH SCHOOL EMBARK
 ON BIZ VENTURE
Turn To Hog Raising as Real Business Proposition, With Fine Stock Obtained Also Study Industry In School

With the once plebeian porker now an aristocrat, boys of the Phoenix Union high school have decided to go into the actual hog raising business at home while they study the scientific end of the industry at the school.
 Fred Wilson, member of the high school, has been raising pigs for about four years as conducted by the agri- cultural extension service of the uni versity, and with an ordinary grade of pigs has been an enthusiastic booster for the fair in the fail.
 About ten days ago W. E. Schneider, field man of the Arizona Packing com pafly, was prevailed upon to give a talk at the high school on swine grow ing. This talk resulted in seven other boys joining Fred Wilson in a decision to secure the best pig blood obtainable and embark on a swine raising project.
 The first problem that confronted the boys was the financing of the project, but that was soon arranged when the Valley bank agreed to finance the boys to the extent of buying the best blooded pigs possible to secure. The next move was to obtain the best animals.
 Purchase High Grade Stock
 A number of swine breeders of the valley were visited, the boys at last deciding upon purchasing their seven big type Poland China pigs from I. F. Collier, south of Tempe. MT. Collier priced these pigs with registration papers at $40 per head, throwing in one good gilt as an incentive for the boys to produce the biggest pig by fair time in the fall. The judge at the fair is to decide the winning pig in com petition with the pigs belonging to other boys all over the state. A record of the cpst of production will be kept under the supervision of $. J. Holsin- ger, agricultural teacher at the high school.
 The porkers selected were sired by the grand champion boar of the recent Arizona state fair and out of the grand champion sows of the same show orig inally brought here from Indiana.
 Sufficient tankage has been offered by the Arizona Packing company at a nominal price to carry the pigs through until fair time. TankaSe is a high protein product which will save from 15 to 50 per cent of the grain ra- ton and produce a marketable hog in 30 days less time.
 Hi1e members of the high school project are: Conway Waggoner, Fred Wilson. Francis Wilson, Henry For man, Cecil Cook, Harold Osborne and Herbert Mills.
