CANNIBALS TAKE FAST
GAME FROM WILLIAMS

Rabbits Cannibals defeated the
Williams Fashions team in hotly
contested ball game on the Flagstaff
diamond last Sunday. The rather
small attendance of fans pronounced
the game red hot pitchers battle"
for the entire nine innings, with Pitch
er Cecil Mccormick of Flagstaff hold
ing slight edge on his antagonist
throughout the contest.
1t was nothing to nothing up to the
sixth inning; then Williams got busy
and, through an error, put over one
run. Up to the eighth it looked as
though that was sufficient. Then the
Cannibals woke up and brought in a
couple of runs. KunZleman, first up,
singled and was advanced to third on
a hit by Mccormick. Then Harris
lined one over second, sending in
Kunzelman and tieing the score.
Evans singled, sending Mccormick in
with the winning score. Harris was
thrown out at the plate on hit to
short by Boone, and Cappron ended
the scoring by hitting hot one to
the pitchers box for the last out.
The Babbitt lineup: Harris, 1b.;
Wofford, rf; Evans, CT; Boone, c.;
Cappron, 2b. Walkup, S.; Hutson,
3b. Kunzelman, IT,; Mccormick, p.
Rabbits Cannibals have taken four
of the five games played this season,
and the fifth one was lost only after
a ten-inning tussle. Challenges are
coming in from over the state as a
result of the Flagstaff teams excel
lent playing, but the only game now
booked is the match with the Pres
colt team to be played in Flagstaff
next Sunday, starting at 2:30 in the
afternoon.

Mr.. koch'S paper thoroughly cover
ed the present situation, both as to
water shortage and the financial side
OF the possible improvements 1t was
read for Mr.. Koch by e. G. Miller,
chairman for the day, and follows:
Under the present agreement be-
tween the town and the Santa Fe
Railroad company, entered into March
3, 1914, the railway company decided
to the town all of their ownership and
rights to the springs (including Jack
Smith spring., pipe line, improve
ments and the land on which they
stand, provided that these lands,
springs and improvements were to re-
vert to the railway company in event
that the town failed to fulfill its part
OF certain contract entered into on
the same date with the railway COM
pany.
Under the terms of this contract
the railway company built the present
new reservoir and improvements, ex-
pending thereon $235, ,000 In consid-
Grafton of this and as interest on the
$2S5,000, the town agrees to deliver
free OF charge to the railway company
In perpetuity every "a hours, 100000
gallons of water, and for all water
taken by the railway company In ex-
cess of this 100000 gallons they are
to pay the town cents per thousand
gallons. The contract further pro-
vides that il the town has fulfilled it's
portion thereof at the end of 25 years,
or in 1899. the town then has the op-
ton of buying all of the rights and
improvements mentioned therein by
paying to the railway company the
above mentioned sum of 1926 900 and
thereafter the daily delivery OF 100000
gallons ceases to be free and the town
will charge therefor Is cents per
thousand gallons.
AS the contract now stands the
town is owing the railway company
$235. 700; it Is giving the railway COM
pany 100000 gallons of water free
every "a hours, which figured at the
price which the railway company is
paying for all water which it draws
in excess of the 200 900 gallons, or
cents per thousand gallons, would
give the railway company a return of
"a percent per annum on their in
vestment, whereas this $235,000 at 6
per cent would net them $14, 100 annu-
ally, so that their water consumption
of 81, 8,393,997 gallons in 1923 cost the
railway company II 2-3 cents per
thousand gallons.

There is provision in the present
contract which specifies that when
the amount of water in the reservoir
is less than 33 million gallons, then
the railway company's consumption
may be cut to 100000 gallons daily;
this has been done, and if the amount
in the reservoir is below million
gallons then the railway company
may be limited to $4,000 gallons every
"a hours. In this latter event, how
ever, the total deliveries from the
reservoir to all sources must not ex-
coed 100000 gallons in every "a hours

Banker Deaf For Years
 Now Hears Perfectly

Mir. John l.. Ellerman, president of the Farmers Netionalj Bank. Fair fax, South Dakota, says that after suffering from deafness for many years he can now hear the slightest whisper and is 50 proud and happy of his own good fortune that he, wants everyone who is deaf or hard of hearing to know about it. After trying everything he could hear of without success, Mir. El- lerman finally saw the announcement of a New York firm stating that they had effected a new hearing device call ed the Acousticon which would enable anyone whose auditory nerve was not entirely destroyed to hear as perfectly as those with normal hearing. As this firm offered to send their product on Ten Days Free Trial--nO deposit-no c. O.. D. he decided to try it. To his utter amazement and delight, he found that this remarkable invention enabled him to hear all sounds as clearly as when a boy. He has since recommend cd it to number of his friends and they also report most satisfactory re- suits. If you want to hear again as well as when child, write tho Dicto- graph Products Corporation, Suite 13OO-J, No. 220 W. 42nd Street, New York City, and ask them to send you an Acousticon on Ten Days Free Trial.

WASHINGTON, March 15.--Rail- roads on or before May 20 must estab- fish new rates to apply to shipments of naval stores from southern produc- ing centers to middlewestern cities, under decision of the Interstate com merce commission today.
 The roads were ordered to cancel schedules proposed last September and October by their traffic officers and substitute new ones covering both ad- vances and reductions in present scales, the general object of which is to equal ize rates as between seaport cities and interior points in the south.
 From Jacksonville Fla, to Cincin- rati, Louisville and Cairo, the com mission order said, railroads must make a 33-cent per 100 pounds rate on rosin shipments, while the turpentine rate over the same routes must be 52 cents to St. Louis from Jacksonville, the rosin rate must be g cents. and the turpen- tine 5S cents and to Detroit and Chi cago the rosin rate was fixed at 40 cents and the turpentine at 63.
 From New Orleans to Cincinnati and Detroit, the rates prescribed were iden- tical with those from Jacksonville.
 To Chicago, however, the rate on rosin from New Orleans was fixed. at 37 cents and on turpentine at 58 cents. The points of origin and destination given were among those said by the commission to be representative of the new schedules in their entirety.

BERLIN, March 15.-(By As sociated Press. 1-German savants are trying to rob Benjamin Frank lin, of the honor of inventing the lightning rod. They say it was, a German who did it. Their claim is supported by writer in the Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung.
 Since Franklin conducted cleo tricity into a leyden par and did not lead it into the earth, the Ger mans assert that he did not have a lightning road at all. According to German physicists, Johann Hein- rich Winkeler of Leipsic dealt with the question of lightning conduc- tors in his book de Avertendi Fulminis Artificio," which appear ed in 1753 and which suggested to Dr. F.
