Plumbers Shop Mysteriously
Entered

On Thursday morning when
Mr.. Wiggln, the popular plum
Der, arrived at his place of bust
ness he found that the same had
been entered by someone during
the night, the way of entering
being the forcing OF the door. At
first Mr.. Wiggin thought that
the entrance had been made bv
some expert burglar. but on fill
ing his pipe and carefully read
ing his copy of Sherlock Holmes,
he made some deductions along
with his friend DR.. Watson and
discovered that the supposed
burglar was one of his en-
ployes, who had forgotten
whether he had been employed
previously by Mr.. Wiggin day
or night. We are pleased to say
that on account of the detective
ability of Mr.. Wiggin it was
not found necessary to call upon
Our efficient marShals.

Studying in the Open Air

1t is becoming something of a
fad throughout the country to
have open air schools. WASHING
ton has fallen in line and has es-
t ,blished a school OF this charac-
t'r where the children, with
warm clothing and blankets in
which to wrap up their feet, are
given instruction with the win
dows open wide and no artificial
heat to vitiate the air. The en-
rollment in this test school is
thirty, and when a spell of real
weather came with a heavy fall
of snow and a big drop in tenn
perature only four of the children
remained away. On this partic
ular occasion the windows were
closed to keep out the snow, but
the temperature was cool, and
the children were told that II
they would report to the teacher
when they were chilly they
would be permitted to go home
At 1 O'Clock, when they were dis
missed for the day, not one OF
them had asked to be excused.
This experiment is in the interest
of delicate children predisposed
perhaps to various pulmonary
complaints.

Second Annual Ball

Announcement is made OF the
second annual ball to be given
by the Winslow ,unior Baseball
Club. The event will take place
at the opera house next Wednes-
day evening, Jan. 8, and a large
crowd is expected to attend.
The boys have already arranged
an early season schedule, dates
for games having been secured
with Flagstaff, Prescott and
Phoenix. The prime object of
the dance next week is to ralee
money with which to purchase
uniforms, SO that those who at
tend may rest assured that the
money is going for a good pur-
pose The boys need some en-
couragement in their efforts to
keep Winslow on the map by
having a travelling baseball club
and it is up to the fans to see
that there is a good turnout for
next Wednesday evenings social
event. There are many baseball
enthusiasts who do not dance,
but they can help the boys by
purchasing a ticket, the price of
which has been placed at one
dollar.

Nineteen Extra No. 3's

Travel from the east to the
west will be unusually heavy
over the Santa Fe railroad dur
ing this month. According to
the advance schedule received
by local railroad men, there will
be nineteen extra No. 3's during
January. The extra limited
trains, which will be used ex-
clusively for high class travel,
will consist of Raymond and
Whitcomb specials and extra
sections of the regular limited
to accommodate the heavy traf-
hc. In addition to the special
trains, traffic is already heavy
on the regular westbound pas
senger trains and is expected to
continue so during the next
thirty days or more. A num-
Der of private cars are booked to
pass through the city, hooked on
to the various passenger trains.
The war scare in Old Mexico
this year has diverted many
travellers to the Pacific coast,
most of whom will go to the
California resorts. People in the
east are naturally deslrous of
going to a milder climate at this
time of the year. Florida and
the South, of course, attract
many. but the claims of Califor-
MIA as winter resort are being
pressed harder this year than
ever before, and the numerous
publicity campaigns are bring
ing big results. = Albuquerque

Epworth Herald Day at
Winslow, Arizona

A report of "Epworth Herald
Day" of the Epworth League
last Sunday night, of the Metho-
dist church, prepared by Miss
Mary Lee, to be sent to Chicago
headquarters OF the Epworth
League, at the request of the
national officers of the league:
Though we cannot say that
I'VE are Seven, we must admit
we are but fifteen. OF this fifteen
many are leaguers by adoption,
and yet no less loyal from this
condition. We were aroused by
this loyalty to ask that Winslow
be represented. For the Herald
Service our church was decorated
with e view toward carrying out
the color scheme of "red and
white" Festoons and notices
frightened the room. In this
connection | must mention a
novel and unexpected feature of
the evenings service. Two In.
dians dropped in and seemed to
enjoy the program. The novelty
of the situation was increased
by the fact that one Indian sat
in blissful ignorance of the pro-
priety of removing his hat. The
pastors wife had a skilfully ar
ranged program, interspersed
with music. From the commen
dations given by the cabinet
members, who by the way are
from several different denomina
tions, these thoughts showed up
prominently: The Harald is a
guide for study; it cultivates a
taste for sound reading; it en-
encourages enthusiasm and COM
passion; it contains food for
Christian growth; it gives effici-
ency for service and service is the
keynote to Christian living.
The pastor clinched these
thoughts by an exhortation in
the sermon which followed the
League Service fourteen subscrip-
tions were taken. Though our
lot is cast upon "The Great
American Desert" though we
have not reached the butterfly
stage of perfection, please do not
think OF us as existing in the pu
pa state. Think of us as larvae
feeding on the things which seem
to us to be altogether pure, true
and lovely. Uuder these heads
we rank the Epworth Herald"

MARKET, STOCK
AND RANGES

N"h0o'S >'ty ClNSk dtuS, AN
9, l9l1.-Cattle receipts increas
ed last week after TUESDAY,, and
the proportion of good weight
ted steers was larger, resulting
in declines the last few days of
the week, which wiped out the
gains the first two days. Butcher
stuff held up better than steers,
and stockers and feeders remain
ed firm. Today the run is liberal
here, IA, 600, and heavy at Chi
cago, with lower prices on the
card from all the markets. De-
cline here 10 cents on steers.
steady to 10 lower on COWS.
steady on stoCkers and feeders.
A large share of the stuff coming
is nine to 100 day fed, and the
same is making money for the
feeder as rule, while the long
fed steers are selling only little
above the others and could have
been CaShed several months ago
for more money than they are
now bringing. Bulk of the steers
sell at $3.50 to $6 25, with top
steers today at $6. so; nothing
of merit below $525. Butcher
stuff is showing more quality
than any time before this winter
due to the longer feeds, and
prices look pretty high, decent
COWS selling at 81 to $5.25, heif
ers $4.75 to $5.75, tops around
IS, bulls 81 to $5.15. Top veals
bring So 80, heavy calves Sc.
Demand for stockers and feeders
is strong and prices are highest
in several weeks. Buyers now
get the advantage OF having had
the cattle put half through the
winter, a considerable item on
stock cattle. Stock steers sell at
"a to So 40, feeders So to $50,
stock COWS and heifers SO to
$3.50. Quarantine supplies have
picked up a little. consisting IN
most part of medium class steers
at $3.50 to $5.75. Offerings of
quarantines today 43 cars, quail
lty better than last week, most
Of the steers at $3.50 to IS. S5,
one load of the johnson year1ings
from ChiCkasha at $6.15. Re-
Gel pts from Colorado and the
West have been very small in.the
last week.
The hog market was on the up
grade last week, and closed
quarter higher for the week. Run
today is II 900 head, extra large
for Monday, and most sales we're
5 to 10 lower The market closed
a little stronger today and last
sales were at the top, 1912.
Three fourtns of the hogs today
sold at $3.50, not many below
this figure, and dealers say the
average quality is running very
high. Average value of the hogs
for last week was $7.92, average
same week last year $3.50.
Shippers are buying about Is
per cent of the hogs now, which
is fairly good quota for that
channel and sufficient to keep the
market on a fairly keen edge.
Sheep and lambs wobbled
little last week, but finally closed
15 to 25 higher for the week.
Run today is $4,000 head, mar
ket steady on sheep, about 10
lower on lambs. Top lambs to-
day brought $6 to Sc 40 and
yeatlings made a new mark at
$3.50, wethers are worth 81 to
81 %, ewes $3 so to 81. Trans
actions in feeding stock are of
slight moment. account of lack
of supplies of that class. Prices
are holding up pretty good, but
nervousness Is ruling character
istiC of the market. and the foot
ing is not at all sure.

The Cost of Smoke
From Harper's Weekly.


 About per cent of the coal that fills the firebox of the locomotive actually drives 1t across the country. The rest is wasted. Not more than 10 per cent Of the fuel value of their coal Is consumed in the furnaces of manufacturing plants.
 The rain of cinders from the stack of the locomotive. the pillar of black smoke from the factory chimney, account con- spicuously for part of the waste. But these are minor losses. The chief diff culty Hes In the failure to use the com bustible gases that arise from the burn ing coal. They are either allowed to escape unignited or are discharged with out having done any service beneath the boilers, to expend their heat on the air
 The geological survey has estimated that the "smoke nuisance costs the country, through waste of fuel, Injury to merchandise and unnecessary labor GOO year. There is, moreover, an unde- niable menace to the public health through the polluted air of great manu- featuring towns,
 Much of this tremendous economic waste Is at present unavoidable. because we have not learned how to utilize the energy of coal directly. Steam. and of- ten electricity as well, must be generated before the power can be applied. But there are Improvements in furnace con- struction which reduce the losses of im- perfect combustion, and piog c $ a manufacturers are saving money for themselves and benefiting their commu- mites by adopting them.
