NORTHERN PART OF
 STATE IS GROWING

That northern Arizona is the best part of the state is the as- sertion of w. A. Parr, one of Winslow's prominent citizens who is a business visitor in Phoe- nix today. The Winslow man re- marks that he doesn't like to say that southern Arizona is no good but gets around that, by saying that Navajo county and Coco nino county are both better.
 Winslow and Navajo counties, according to Parr, are going ahead very rapidly. The last cen7 sus gave the railroad town a pop. ulation of twenty-five hundred. The town is now over three thou sand strong and increasing every minute. The Santa Fe is actively engaged in building shops and a round house that will mean an expenditure of five hundred thou sand dollars in Winslow. When this improvement is completed Winslow will have close to a thousand more employees of the Santa Fe than it now has. #
 Beside the activity of the Santa Fe, the stockmen of the country are all in the best of shape. For the third time within thirty years snow has remained in Winslow for aweek. This condition assures the sheep and cattle owners of the valley and excellent spring and summer with abundant grass and water. There is much build ing going on in Winslow. Besides the Santa Fe construction, the Elks' have just completed the erection of a S30.000 home, which will be dedicated on Wednesday. Other buildings are in process of erection there and Winslow as a whole, is one of the busiest towns in the state. MT. Paris slogan is Watch Winslow grow. -Ariz. Democrat.

The New Year was shire many
 usnereo In wltn warthy, dark
 shout or Wei- haired men went
 come!" from house tc house on New Years morn "to take the New Year in," receiving a gift oi liquor or money from each host. In Scotland this 'first-footing" was a ceremony of much importance; and so universal was the custom of visit ing from house to house that cen tury ago, in Edinburgh, the streets were more thronged from 12 to 1 in the New Years morning than at mid day. As it was deemed unlucky to enter house empty-handed, the visi- tors bore with them cakes, cheese and bowls or kettles of "hot pint" As parties of friends met in the streets they exchanged cakes and buns and slipped each others drink.
