Winslow's Celebration Grand Success
Under the Auspices of the Order of Owls

started from the foot of kinSley avenue and marched to the ball grounds where the parade was disbanded and the crowd f1ocked to the grand stand to witness an alleged baseball game between Winslow and Wingate, the latter winning by a score of 24 to 10. After the ping pong match the Indians held sway, horse races, boxing matches, chicken pulling and various other sports being on the card and faithfully carried out.
 About eight o'clock Monday evening two parties of Navajos held a Fire Dance" on Front street, crowd of some 500 peO- pie being interested spectators of the ceremony which continued for nearly two hours. The cele- bration was closed by monster dance at the Opera House which was largely attended, the dancers leaving at midnight for some much needed rest, the two days jollity being sufficient for most of our people, However, num- Der of Winslowites left Tuesday morning for Flagstaff there to continue tocelebrate the Glorious Fourth.
 The Order of Owls and the citi- zens generally are to be cOngrat-
 ulated on the success ofWinslOw' $
 celebration, which was a credit
 to all participating therein.

A Peaceful E ourth

Well may Winslow feel proud over the conduct of the throng during the two days celebration. Not a drunk or fight occurred during the time and no arrests were made for any cause. Not many communities can say the same. Everyone seemed to be out for a good time and nothing occurred to mar their enjoyment. Surely Winslow is to be congrat- ulated.

Our Band

The Owls in their anxiety to please had ordered the 3rd Cav airy Band from Ft. Wingate, but owing to a previous engagement and short notice the Owls were unable to procure them, but at the eleventh hour T. J. Hesser and Bert Ward volunteered to furnished the band as best they could. Their efforts were sue cessful as the following will show.
 Those who were most prOmi- nent in the band were John DOnO- hue an "Old War Horse" who was Recruiting Officer under Ser geant Gregory, of Go. A, Dubu- que, Iowa; one Ot the first vOlun- teers in the three months service in the Civil War, and during those stormy times called the boys to muster with his fife. He was born in Rochester, N. Y., and crossed into Iowa with his parents behind an Ox-team, and endured the hardships that were encountered by those who crossed the plains in those days. Con- sidering his age-and his infrm condition, he done remarkably well and was a credit to men very much younger than himself
 Mir. w. M. Perry, another vet. eran of the Civil War, who went with Company l, of the 96tl Illinois regiment, and played the fife during a number of days blowing out the mOurnful note: of the dead march while they were carrying off the dead iron the battlefield during those stren eous times. The manner II which he played out the marsha notes on this Fourth of July oc casion showed that he is as pa triotic and enthusiastic today a' he was in his younger days.
 The cOncensus of the throne was, that the efforts and success: of the band, upon such short no tice, was a credit to each anC f every member thereof. 1t is tC be hoped that the good worl will go on, and that the organi zatiOn will be permanent, anC that they will continue to render

workmen as Myron, Myos and Mentor

were very beautifully engraved and OF
workmanship which has never been
equaled When gold cups were enrich
ed with precious stones they some
times became peers of the engraved
silver vessels. OF all sizes, shapes and
designs were these drinking cups. and
their value was measured more by
their form and design than the mate
rial of which they were made. Some
had two handles, some only one and
some none at all. They were large and
small. low and TALL narrow and OBJ

the varying fancy of that prodigious
age. which seemed to scorn uniform

drank hot water from cups. as we now
drink coffee and tea. these beverages

mated with the Assyrians. and tea was

THE appeal of Governor Fort. in his
address to the newspaper men, on Thurs

comply with this request. The election
will be held on the 14th of September, SO
that what work is done In the matter must
be performed within two months. When
the judiciary amendments were voted
upon in 1908 there were only about 80. 900
ballots cast, little more than one tenth
of the total vote for members of the As
sembly the year previous. The reason
for this small vote was the fact that the
voters had not been aroused to the import.

A special committee has been appointed
by the Bar Association to prepare papers
that will enlighten the voters and the first
installment has already been sent out.
Comment thus far by the newspapers
which have taken the trouble to discuss
the subject has been favorable and there
has not been much adverse criticism by
the few of the general public who have
studied the amendments. 1t will be hard
work to get the voters out at special

Rushen castle. Castledown, Isle Of
Man, is the ancient seat of the kings
and lords of Man. The castle Is a veri-
table curiosity both historically and
otherwise. The first mention Of it
dates to the year 1857. 1t was taken
after six months siege In the year
1915 by Robert the Bruce. The castle
is built OF limestone and is not ruin.
Until few years ago it was used as
prison. The town clock seen In the
castle wall was presented by Queen
Elizabeth in the year 1897. 1t has only

CHOOSING a Builder,

The selection of builder is quite as
important matter In putting up a
house as the choice Of an architect.
Don't choose the cheapest builder
merely because he Is cheapest. If you
accept his bid, find out the reason of
the cheapness. Frequently the builder
is a man Of little means, and often he
operates on borrowed capital. Should
the builder become bankrupt or fail to
pay for his labor or materials the own
er, under the mechanics laws of most
states, becomes liable for the builders
debts. This is true even though the
owner has paid the builder for his
work. In order to obtain his house
free and clear In such case the own
er must meet the builders obligations.
The prudent owner will, of course, pay
for his house only as 1t is constructed.
Even then it would be useful caution
to make sure that the builder has paid
his indebtedness on the house. Pay
ments are usually made the builder
when the foundations are done. when
the frame is up, when the house Is
closed, when the plastering is finished
and when the completed house is turn
ed over to the owner.-Circle Magazine.
