The answer was still more brief. de- nying that the defendant owed the plaintiff $2000. A demurrer was also interposed to the complaint setting out that it's allegations were only conclusions of law and citing the case of Herr vs- Kennedy, in which ap opinion was handed down by the su- preme court of this state about two years ago.
 In that case Herr had sued Ken nedy for the value of lot of hay. setting out the weight of 1t. the price and the value. Kennedy put in ( counter claim, merely naming a sum which he said Herr owed him. A de- murrer to the counter claim was overruled and the case was taken to the supreme court, which held that it should have been sustained, since the denial left no issue joined: the coun- ter claim was only averment of> . legal claim, a denial amounting to an admission that the debt was some thing less than that alleged
 In the present case the court gave the plaintiff permission to amend his complaint, but he elected to atand on 1t and took an appeal.

ID LOSE NOTHING BY. DELAY IN TAKING UP SOLDIER BONUS BILL.

While the proposition was pend. ing in the senate for the setting aside of the adjusted compensation act at the request of the president to make way for tariff and tax legislation, Rolin W. Shaw, post commander of the local Veterans of Foreign Wars, addressed a letter to United States Senator Cameron protesting against delay.
 Some time after that MT. Shaw re- ceived letter from Senator Cam eron explaining his action which has subjected him to some criticism be- cause of a misunderstanding of it. In this letter the senator says:
 q have been delayed in answering your telegram of recent date in which you protested against the recommit- tai of the proposed soldiers bonus bill- AS I have written to you and many other soldiers of Arizona. did not propose to falter in the least in expediting the relief and the recog- nition which isa surely yours That is exactly my present attitude.
 q know the soldiers are getting weary, but they will lose nothing whatever by this commitment be cause the relief will come, just as il would have, had the bill passed tn, senate at the time it was reported out of the committee.
 "These assurances were given m' in person by the president with whom II conferred at length regarding thu situation. He asked me to help him the administration and the country in putting over this bill for a coupl
 of months until the tax and tariff
 legislation was out of the way.
 told him I would be glad to do so
 he could show me that this woul
 not be done at the soldiers expense
 A program was formulated to d
 this as follows:

 like a year before the soldiers coul
 realize from it and 1t is an agree
 understanding that this legislatio
 will be taken care of. at least by tn first of the year. It's passage wi

Fifty members of the Elks drill team which won fifth place in the competitions held in Los Angeles in the early part of July during the annual convention of the order were entertained at luncheon by the Ki- wanis club at the Y.

The luncheon was given to the drill team as an expresr sion of appreciation for the prom thence attained by the organization at the convention and for the benefi- cent publicity which was given to Phoenix and the state of Arizona by it.

There are some who do not believe in advertising, but the Kiwanis club is not among
 
 worth of judicious .advertising and has always been willing and anxious to give its commendation to those who have used it wisely and well, as have the members of the Elks drill team. W
 When you went to Los Angeles you took with you a spirit of pep and enthusiasm which showed that you had faith in the state from which you came and in the city where your lodge is situated We wo greet you now would have known an added pride if we could have seen you ir Los Angeles and heard the cheers that were shouted for. you in ths grandstands. but we still may give this testimonial to you with pledge of continued support in the future a The meeting. which was opened

ORDER OF VETERANS IF FOREIGN WARS
 OVER 70 YEARS 0LD

Maricopa post No. T20 at Phoenix is one of more than TOO posts of Vet erans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Not foreign veterans, but American veterans who have served under the Stars and Stripes in for eign waters or on foreign soil in time of war. The O. ganization is not new one. having been founded more than 20 years ago. It took the pres consolidation of the Army of the Phil ippines with the American Veterans of Foreign Service.
 With the large eligibility resulting from the world war, the growth has naturally, been enormous during the past two years, all who saw service overseas during the war becoming automatically eligible to this 'gold stripe order. The Veterans of For eign Wars of the United States is the only national organization composed exclusively of veterans who saw service outside of the United States during campaigns and wars conduct | ed on foreign soil and in foreign wa ters. There is a peculiar and strong 1 bond of friendship existing between | those who crossed the seas on trans ports, endured the hardship on for eign soil and the dangers and priva- | tions of actual service.
 The post at Phoenix was organized | in April this year with a charter membership of 100. and nerv members are being voted in at every meeting No building has been donated to tho post and. it is obliged to rent its hal for meetings.

several times caused confusion IN
major league games. In MAJOR

runners on first and third. the runner
on first stole second, with a hope OF
drawing a throw from the catcher.
The catcher refused to make play
ON the runner. After two balls had
been pitched to the batsman the run
mar ON second made a break for first
base. When the catcher received the
pitch. runners were again on first and
third. The ball was thrown to second.

The ball was thrown to second. and
the runner on third dashed for home.

decision. What are the rights OF the
base runner on such a play?
Rule Now Ii Clear.
Several years ago. when this play
came up, the rule covering the stu

the runner could be retired at that
time was by touching him with the
ball, between the bases or while
standing on first base. Now It 10 dit

runner BY merely throwing the ball

with the ball before he can regain
