Why Suffer So?
Why tuffer from a bad back,
from Fharp, shooting twings,
headaches, dizziness and distress
ing urinary ills? Globe people
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills.
Could you ask for stronger proof
of merit?
J. E. McNeil, prop. Globe
Racket Store, 254 Broad St.,
Globe, Ariz., says: "I suffered
with kidney trouble for a long
time. My back was always ach
ing and when I tried to pick up
anything, knifelike pains shot
through my back. My kidneys
acted irregularly and their weak
ness caused me a great deal of
annoyance. My muscles were
lame and stiff, especially across
my back and I felt all run down.
Knowing Doan's Kidney Pills
were highly recommended, I
gave them a trial. Doan's help
ed me right from the start and
it wasn't long before they had
completely cured me of the
trouble. Doan's Kidney Pills
cannot be equaled."

Friday morning, December 7,
at 8 o'clock, fifty-four students
and the faculty of the St. Johns
Academy left for Snowflake with
their colors floating defiantly on
the breeze. Our big auto truck
and eight cars took them over.
In reality this was a long, dusty
and chilly ride, but to these anx
ious anticipators of victory it
seemed but a short distance.
Upon reaching the Snowflake
Academy they were heartily wel
comed and each was presented
with a buff and red badge, thus
showing the spirit of friendliness
which exists between the two
schools. The Snowflake band
next greeted them with a volume
of harmony. In response to this,
our band played a few airs, the
students sang a school song and
then gave them some zipping
yells. Immediately the students
of the two schools formed into
single file, with St. Johns in the
lead, and marched through the
streets of Snowflake, with their
bands playing at intervals. The
march came to a halt in the mid
dle of main street and Professor
Atkins, in a short speech, tender
ed them a cordial reception. Then
the St. Johns students Were taken
to the various homes of their
friencte, where they enjoyed
scrumptiously prepared "beeds."
Tle contests began Friday
evening at 8 o'clock. First came
the orations. Snowflake was re
presented in this by Lorenzo Jen
nings, and St. Johns by Myrtle
Thompson. Both these young
people delivered their orations in
a startling manner, exhibiting
deep thought and much feeling.
Although the decision of the
judges was in Mr Jennings favor
it was hard for them to decide,
and only by a narrow margin did
he win; it was so very close that
we could hardly think of it as a
defeat. Miss Thompson, we feel
sure, will not let this discouracre
her, she is a very brilliant young
lady and has a promising future
before her.
Next came the story telling,
Carherine Decker representing
S. S. A. and Geneireve uibbons
S. J. A. This contest was also
2lose but the victory was given
Miss Decker, and Miss beneireve
took her defeat nobly.
After this came the game in
which we are all so interested,
Volley Ball. First the faculty of
the two schoolB played. You have
all seen hew the St Johns faculty
play well, they played just like
that Friday night. They took
both erames. and never even grave
Snbwflake time to turn around.
Next came the volley ball games
between the S. S A. and S. J S.
A. students. This was one of
those whirlwind games you have
heard about. Our little boys just
kept that old ball in the air, and
before Snowflake knew it, they
had walked away with both
erames. Once the score looked
rather doubtful, being in Snow-
flake's favor. Then S. J. A. be
gan to work and they slid right
on out to 21 and left Snowflake
just standing there looking for
the ball.
After this exciting game, came
the wrestlincr contests. First was
our little Wilson Wilkins, who had
their Owen Allen down in about
a half a minute, and held him
there.
Then our champion wrestler,
Albert Farr, wrestled with Alvin
Bremer, but due to the superior
weight of his opponent, it re
sulted in a tie.
Next came the vicious wrestlers,
Arthur Savage and Albert Lyen.
After a long tussle, the coach call
ed it a tie, but we are sure that
in a minute more the agility of
the Lyen would have superim
posed him on his adyisary, the
Savage, and pinned him to the
mat.
Saturday morning the tennis
games took place. The girls sin
gles were played first, Wilma Fil
lerup representing Si, S. A. and
Emily Patterson S. J. A., Miss
Patterson played a good game,
but by a hairs breadth-the victory
fell to Miss Fillerup.
Then the boys singles were
played, Reginald Flake of S, S A.
and Tom Isaacson of S. J. A.
This resulted in a victory for
' 'Tommy."
Next the double's in tennis were
played by Charles Fillerup and
Curtis Bushman of S. S. A. and
Roy Gibbons and Jack Tenney of
S. J. A. The game was won by
Snowflake.
In the afternoon our boys show
ed Snowflake that they knew how
to play basket ball. The first
teams played the ,first game.
When we saw our team come out
on the diamond in their red and
white suits we could see victory
written all over their faces, and
victory it was, even if "Bill" did
have the amnsv. Our forwards
had no trouble in pitching those
little baskets the ball went
thrmnrh them as easily as though
they were wagon tires and with
our centers and guards wide
awake, Snowflake didn't get to
see the ball but about twice, ine
score was 20 to 32.
Last came the second basket
ball gama. This was a fast, ex
citing game, but Sndwf lake suc
ceeded in pitching a few more
baskets than our boys did. ine
score resulted in a defeat for us
by only three points. Retain
your courage boys next time the
"Snowflakes" shall melt ana
St. Johns burst forth in the
"Spring of complete victory'
As a crowning feature to the
davs Pleasures, there was given
a dance in which all reveled.

IT DEPENDS UPON THE DRILL
T oneta nn mnrc tn raise flfull fXOD than it does tO raise a l4 OT A CTOP.
It takes as much seed, as many hours work, as much wear and tear on horse
flesh and machinery to
raise a small, poorly
graded crop as a large,
high grade one.
The size and qual
ity of your crop de
pend largely upon the
drill you use.
There are scores of
drills that scatter the
seed at various depths
much of it stays on
the surface to be eaten
by the sun. 'Perhaps 50 to 75 of this seed grows. It germinates unevenly
it comes up unevenly it ripens unevenly and does not grade high.
But there is one Drill that is different.
Why not use the one Drill that places every seed where it
should be?
Monitor Double Disc Drills
deposit the seed at the bottom ot a clean, wide
furrow in two rows and cover it uniformly with
moist earth, giving it abundant room 10 bioou
You get a good stand with one-fifth less Beed.
Every good seed grows germinates uniformly
' all comes up at one time ripens evenly and
rades the highest. '
The Agricultural Colleges in various parts of

ijot only laiger but grade higher than those pro
duced by any other.
