out, by Miss Grace Sake, Bible
teacher of the Billy Sunday
party. We began the study of
Genesis, and have gone through
Exodus, but a damper has been
thrown over our york by the
hot weather and summer rains,
and only few classes remain.

interest in anything, we began
with the beginning. Wherein
the Creation of Heaven and
Earth, the light of the frma-
ment, Man was made in the
Image Of God, and into this
world was sent further on. We

q am not to blame. It is Joe Morgan. Since he became Entry No. l in the Frontier Days calf tying contest, there is simply no holding him responsible, but he is responsible for this
 That was President Dick Lamson of the Yavapai club when cornered by a number of members and asked the meaning of the postal card in vitation sent out By the entertain- ment committee and announcing a "rodeo" for Friday evefiing this week
 Whatever the nature of the enter tainment, it is considered of suffi- cient importance to cause the club to announce there will be no dining room service Friday evening, for the public. Instead, the members will gather at o'clock under the aus pices of what is called the Prescott Munchin club (believed to be 2 purely fictitious organization). A. Leslie Ruffles is designated head waiter, but it seems this, too, IS a more or less deliberate falsehood, for no such name appears in the direc- tory. Under the head of Arena Di- rectors, however, the directory car ries the name of Lester Ruffner, and it may be that the entertainment committee is attempting a play on words Cor Lester).

BEER BULL TAKEN
 BY HORNS; HOUSE
 HAS NEW NEAUSURE
Associated Press Night wire>

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25. As the first step of the fight in congress to tighten up the Volstead prohibition enforcement law, a bill designed to forbid the sale of beer to the. sick on a doctors prescrip- ton was introduced in the house to- day by Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee.
 The measure would not prohibit the use of wine for medicinal pur- poses but would make more specific and stringent regulations on this subject.
 Frankly declaring there was no real need for beer as a medicine, MT. Volstead said his bill was put forward to meet the situation ere ated by the opinion of Former At torney General Palmer and that beer and wine under the Volstead act could be prescribed for the ailing.
 In tentative regulations announced last week by Prohibition Commis- sioner Kramer, both of which must await approval by David H. Blair the new commissioner of internal revenue, an arbitrary limit of 47s gal Ions of beer and gallons of wine was fixed as the maximum that might be prescribed at any one time. Mir Palmer had ruled that the law fixed no limit.
 Regardless of what Commissioner Blair may rule, MT. Volstead indi- cated that the prohibition forces in the house were prepared to take the beer bull by the horns and let the world know that there will be no beer. The bill will be referred to Mir. Volstead's committee for hear ings and report

PROTEST CLOSING OF INDIAN RESERVATION
Gournal-Miner CaDital Bureau)

PHOENIX, April 25. - Joe V. Prochaska, state game warden, has again written to the superintendent of the Fort Apache Indian reserva- ton in the White mountains, pro- testing against the virtual closing of the reservation to tourist travel this summers
 The letter indicates that the game warden does not so much object to the fact that no fishing permits will be issued until July l, and possibly not all summer long, as he does to the superintendent's ruling that no camping will be permitted along streams or elsewhere ill the reserva- ton, except along the road.
 Prochaska calls attention to the fact that while a creditable campaign ie now going on to See Arizona First" the Indian authorities seem bent on making it impossible to see the most scenic portion of the state, which happen to be inclosed in In dian reservations.
 "Already the editors of the state are beginning to realize the injustice of the situation" said Prochaska, and I hope they keep up the work of entering a vigorous protest, to the end that public opinion will be arous- ed against so drastic measures as have been resorted to.
 "I do not wish anyone to get the impression that 1 am for liberality in +ho mater nfs fishing. As matter. of fact T have restricted the fiehinp

 Goldwater dwelt upon the history of Fort Whipple, and the place it had always held in the community. "We have seen Fort Whipple the head quarters of a division, and again under a sergeant caretaker," he said. "It has had its ups and downs; it has been the football of changing administrations It has been neg lected because some army general didn't get the reception he wanted. But Fort Whipple and its soldiers has always held a warm place in our regards, and does today"

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 25. Progress on the initial administra- ton peace policy-to end the state of war by resolution of congress was made today in both branches of congress.
 In the senate the Knox peace reso- lution, revised in minor detail, was reported favorably by the foreign relations committee and announce ment was made by Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts, republican leader, that it would be called up tomorrow.
 Two similar resolutions, dealing separately with Germany and Aus tria, were introduced in the house by Chairman Porter of the foreign affairs committee, who announced they would not be taken up until after the senate has acted on the Knox measure.
 Although the senate is to begin formal consideration tomorrow of the Knox resolution, it was not thought tonight that actual debate would start before Wednesday.
 The final draft of the Knox reso- lution, reported today differed little from Senator Knox's original meas ure. It would repeal the resolution declaring a state of war with Ger many and Austria, reserve all Amer ican rights and privileges under the treaties of Versailles and Trianon and hold subject to future disposi- ton the property of enemy aliens.
