 So rungs a tender little song, the air as sweet as the words, in the opera. Babes in Toyland"s Toyland is a country by itself, so near and yet so fari We find an English writer utter ing these words The importance of a toy lies, not in It's form or it's applica- tion or in any of the qualities for which toys are made and sold, but just in it's power of taking you to it's own country"
 Toys are exceedingly important. Look ing back into ones earlier years one recognizes the great part they play in education-that little, old wooden horse was larger figures in your character than Is your 40-horse power touring car. Look well to the children's toys. The wise parent gives the matter thought, tries to look at it through the eyes of the child, to find what he or she loves. The simple, less expensive toys wear the longest in the childish affections, as a rule; they allow great CT play to the imaglnation-posse more of the magic power to whisk the owner away to Toyland.

OF another ball club IN Winslow,
at present known as the "Wlns-
low Second Team" under the
management ofClarenceJ Doyle.

Winslow the continued winning
streak of the latter team arous-
ing the jealousy of some former
players who were dropped from
the nine. However this may be,
the Second Team" are to play
against Winslow next Sunday
on the local grounds and it is
claimed they have gathered to-
gether a nine made up partly Of
local and mostly of imported
players hoping to administer a
drubbing to the regular team A
battery and short stop have been
secured from Trinidad, q left and
right fielder from Albuquerque,
while local men will fill the bal
ance of the positions with Quayle
at first, Willis at second, Bill
Kelly on third and some other
local man in center field unless
they should succeed in getting
some member of the Williams
team to play that position. Thus
it will be seen that although the
"Second Team" claims to repre-
sent Winslow they will be far
from local aggregation and for
this reason the friends Of the reg
ular team are saving some mean
things about the promoters of
the new club. From present in
dicatiOns, however, they claim
to have ample financial backing
and a hot game is promised for
next Sunday when the two teams
meet. 1t is doubtful though
whether they can win the game,
lack of team work and unfamili-
arity with the grounds being
somewhat of a drawback, the
team not yet having been tOget-
her for practice owing to the
"importations', not being on the
ground. But it will be we'll for
ali lovers of the game to be on
hand early and secure good seats
as there will undoubtedly be a
record breaking crowd, interest,
though divided, being somewhat
tense.
And say-don't forget to root.

Another CloudburSt Hits
WinSIoW.
Railroad Company Suffers Con-
siderable Damage.

Thursday evening another
heavy rain visited this immedi-
ate section of the country. The
extent of the rain was not as
large as the one about two weeks
ago, but in some places as much
fell. The rain extended east
about a mile and west about
two miles. The precipitation was
the heaviest southwest of town
which caused the food. The rail
road yards were entirely under
water and a small section of
track was washed out and made
impossible at both the east and
west end of the yard. The greater
damage to the track occurred at
the east end in the vicinity of the
stock yards where about 1900
feet of track was undermined
making it impossible for trains
to enter or leave town. At the
west end not more than three
rail lengths was actually washed
out but the entire yard as far
west as the High Switch was
completely under water. No. 2
was held at Sunshine, while No.
3 was allowed to come as close
to town as it could be gotten,
both trains getting to the depot
about three o'clock Friday morn
ing. Freight traffic was tempo
rarily abandoned but by day
light Friday all tracks were made
passable and business resumed.
The company cotte ges on the
south side of the track were en-
tirely cut off from communication
with town, both board walks be-
ing submerged and that leading
past the hospital being carried
away by the water which was
very deep and running quite
rapidly between the depot and
the cottages. Water got into
some of these houses and caused
considerable damage to the con-
tents.
The depot building suffered con-
siderable damage water being
about five inches deep in all the
offices on the lower floor as we'll
as in the lunch counter and in the
dining room of the Harvey
House. The telegraph Office was
put out of business early in the
evening owing to the cellar be-
coming flooded, destroying all
the battery which was located in
the basement. The operators
were moved up stairs into the
dispatchers' office and continued
their business from that room.
Besides destroying the battery,

baseball team won a very good
game and by so doing won their
twentieth consecutive game
without having a loss scored
against them. The local team
under the very efficient manage
ment of DR.. Bazell and the cap
taincy Of Tommy Baker have
whipped what was apparently
at the first OF the season a bunch
of sand lotters into a very res
pectable ball team that the town
should be proud of. The boys
have made several trips to the
adjoining towns and have al
ways acted like what they are
gentlemen, and are deserving of
all the credit they get.
They have met all corners and
as we stated before have put all
teams to the mat and should
present indications keep up will
finish the season with a perfect
score.
The challenge issued some
time ago to the Prescott team
was accepted by the boys of the
city a mile high and during the
convention of the Democratic
party August 18th and Sth Pres
colt will witness some very
classy ball if our boys play their
usual game.
Last Sundays scores were all
made in one inning and outside
of that the patrons of the game
witnessed national league ball.
Bazel backed by "Always-on-
the Job" Chatfeld, handled the
heavy work for the locals and
Baca and Martinez officiated for
the Flagstaff contingent and 1t
may be said to the credit of both
batteries that they played gilt
edge ball.
First baseman Peterson of the
visitors made two very pretty
catches in the third inning, either
one of which if missed would
have let in two or three runs.
Sprankle led the batting honors
getting two single and one three
Dagger out of four times up.
AS was stated in these columns
at the beginning of the season
Winslow would support a good
clean base ball team and it is in
deed commendable to note that
our condolences have not been
misplaced. Keep up your lick
boys and as long as you handle
yourselves and play the game
that you have in the past you
may rest assured that the resi-
dents will support you and you
will gain respect not only for
yourselves but also the town you
represent.

the entire records OF the division
for many years past, the room
wherein these were stored being
a portion OF the under part of the
building. The basement attach
ed to the Harvey House was al
SO flooded, considerable loss of
supplies resulting therefrom.
Early Friday morning an engine
was spotted opposite the depot
to furnish steam for a pump
which was used to take the wa
ter from the cellar, the same be-
ing run into the lot in front of
the reading room. This lot was
badly flooded Thursday evening,
making it next to impossible to
get in to the reading room.
Water to considerable depth
on the streets caused no more in
convenience than muddy footing,
no damage being done to the
stocks of any of the merchants.

THAT FATAL DEFECT

Senator Foraker's reference to Mr..
Taft, in his speech before the Gin
cinnati Chamber Of Commerce, had
the fatal defect, from the party point
of view, of emphasizing what the
speaker considers the candidates
fatal defect" A candidate should
have no defect, of course, that is fatal;
if he has. he is a goner. The senator
made matters worse by explaining
what Mr.. Taft's fatal defect" sonsists
in. He is pledged to continue the
"so-called Roosevelt policies" of which
the country has had enough, in the
senator's own opinion. 1t is clear that
Mr. Foraker has not yet attuned him
self to the keynote of this campaign
and there will be some anxiety over
the tenor of his address at the Repub-
lican rally at Youngstown, next
month. Another speech like the one
at Cincinnati. and Mr. Burton's can
didacy for Mr.. Foraker's seat in the
senate would doubtless be inaugu-
rated in dead earnest. If the senator
will be good and tame, he may pos
sibly succeed imself.-Spring6eld Re-
