The game Of baseball to- be
played here Sunday between
the Owls team and the Wins
low All-Stars, promises to be
one of the most hotly contest
ed games witnessed this sea-
son. Both teams have a strong
lineup and it is unnecessary
to say that it will be exciting
from start to finish. While
the Owls are confident of
winning, they realize that they
will have to play ball. Every
body should turn out and see
the finest exhibition of ball
playing ever witnessed on the
local grounds.
1
The Winslow junior baseball
team will play another game
with Holbrook Sunday. They
expect to give Holbrook the
beating of the season.

Baseball

winning games recently, St1ll
seem to be able to hit any pitcher
opposed to them, but they fail
to turn their hits into runs. In
last Sundays game at Gallup
Winslow secured II hits off
Bazel's delivery, yet they were
beaten by a score of 7 to 3.
When any crowd of ball tossers
can wallop the pill in this man
ner and yet continually allow
the game to go to the other fel-
lows there must certainly be
something wrong with their
playing Winslow beat the sol
diers from Ft. Wingate on July 4
and made a good job OF it, but
the game played against the
same team the next day was
nothing better than a farce and
WinslOw has not won a game
since that time.
Possibly a shakeup would help
some. 1t is not always POSSIBLE
for the manager of an amateur
team to be as strict as he might
wish with his players, but it is
surely time for Dick O'Rourke to
get busy with this All-Star ag-
gregation, making few of them
deliver the goods or get out Of
the way. If Winslow is to make
any kind of a showing at all this
season it is time they were hitting
their stride and wading through
these other Northern Arizona
mines like water through sieve,
as well as putting the fxings on
the "coal diggers" now headed
by the irrepresible Robt. ].
Burke, erstwhile tonsorial artist
of Winslow.
The attendance at the last
game at Winslow was about one
third less than is usual here and
with q few more games like the
boys have recently put up there
will be no necessity of enlarging
the grand stand, as had been
contemplated. OF course, it is
not possible for a team to win
every game, though the boys did
that very thing last year, yet a
bunch that can get II hits in one
game should be able to show
better than losers with the score
as one-sided as it was last
Sunday.
Wonders will never cease. The
Gallup ball team, after beating
WinslOw two straights, have
mustered sufficient courage to
challenge the Albuquerque Grays,
and this, in the face of recent vic
tories Of the Grays over Ell Paso
and Santa Fe teams. After all
there is nothing like self con-
fidence.

The Value of Good Roads

Statistics recently prepared by
the Department of agriculture
and the Interstate Commerce
Commission throw an illuminat-
ing light upon the manner in
which the farmer robs himself
each year by his refusal to main
tain good country roads. The
figures show that the railroad
companies last year transported
a total of S5, 900, 900
pounds of freight which origi-
mated on farms and which was
hauled an average distance of
9.4 miles from the farms to the
point of shipment.
In France, the average cost of
hauling produce from the farms
is 13 cents a mile per ton. In
this country it is 26 cents. If the
roads in the United States were
as good as they are in France,
the farmers would have saved 13
cents a ton per mile on their pro-
duce last year, making a net gain
to them of $59,9O0,OOO on the
more important crops. The De
partment of Agriculture goes fur
ther and makes the claim that
farmers lose annually fully $780,
100000 on account of bad roads.
Prosperous as the American far
mers are, they must be convinced
that they are paying very dearly
for the luxury of bad roads.

FRANKLIN. Iowa, March EVERY
body is glad that the nasty month of
February has gone to rest, for the
weather that furnished us this year
was fright. Out of his twenty
eigat days, we had twelve clear morn
ings, eleven full cloudy days; two of
rain, three of sleet and snow; the
fifth being the warmest day, the Their
mometer climbing up to so degrees:
the 9Th brought the worst blizzard
for more tlan twenty years and the
tenth being the coolest day of the
month. We hope that Miss March
will come in like a good citizen and
depart like lamb.
According to advice received from
Los Angeles, California, Miss Hen
riette Rauscher is a victim of paral-
ysis, a light stroke having touched her
recently. The lady is well known
here, being former citizen and left
only few years ago to reside with
her sisters.
The condition Of Mrs. r. G. Knabe
is getting worse from day to day and
the doctors have given up all hopes
for her recovery. The family decided
last week to take her to hospital in
kokuk to have an operation perform
ed, but it was found that the patient
was too weak to stand the trip.

Australian millionaire AS further
mark of his gratitude for the saving
OF the girl, tie father has left in trust
fund of s250,000 for the founding
and maintenance of home for fallen
women
Kidd was a tea salesman in 1907,
and went to Chicago on business. He
always carried with him new tesla
ment. He met Mary Burn, then TWEEN
ty years old, who had fallen into evil
ways. Attracted by her beauty and
Intelligence he drew from her the
story of her life and then appealed to
her in the name of her mother. Draw
ing from his pocket the testament,
he turned to the story of Mary Mag
dalene and read it with all the force
at his command. The girl was deeply
affected. She promised to go to an
aunt in -ittsburg and left Chicago.
Kidd gave her his card, and the Incl
dent had passed from his mind when
he received letter from the girl in
which she said she was dying of con
sumption and was on Ter way to
Florida with her father in hope of pro-
longing her life.
She died last July. The father re-
turned to Australia and died last Sep
TENDER He had heard from his
daughter the story of her salvation
and added codicil to his will leaving
a comfortable fortune to Kidd for
what he had done.

suits were most gratifying. After tax

WE'LL Henry Cunningham, Elder Bap-

Vinol Is not patent medicine-but a
preparation composed Of the medicinal
elements Of Gods livers, combined with
a tonic iron and wine yinol creates
hearty appetite, tones up the organs
OF digestion and makes rich, red blood
IN this natural manner, Vinol creates
strength for the rundown, over
worked and debilitated, and for deli
cate children and old people. For
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
Vinol is unexcelled.
All such persons in this vicinity are
asked TO try vinol or our offer to re-
fund their money If it fails to give sat-
.sfaction.
