Der of houses being built in that
locality it would seem as if school
facilities would have to be pro-
vided for that district within a
year or SO.
Several changes will be made
in the High School progrm to
meet the need of the new semes-
ter. January II marks the end
Of the first half of the year. We
all hope that is has been a profit
able one to all who are concerned
and interested in the schools.
Average attendance for the
past week was 513, a slight gain
over the preceding week. With
as high a percentage of attend
ance on the present enrolment
as was maintaieed during the
first three months of school we
should have an average attend
ance of $40, but sickness and
damp weather has caused a de-
cided falling off in the lower
grades.

TOLL OF FEAR

SPECIAL. Two reel feature
at the Electric tonight.
An unusual and one of the
most remarkable films ever
shown. The story was written
by Romaine Fielding who plays
the parts of the only two charac-
ters in it. Fear, the unseen,
overcomes two strong men in the
quiet of the desert, and both
seek refuge from it in death.
You will follow the action of this
film with bated breath.

school after a weeks absence
with an attack of rheumatism.
The slush and rain of last
Monday was responsible for a
large number of absentees from
the public schools. 1t would
seem as if about ten percent of
the parents of Winslow deem it
better for their children to be
roaming the streets during wet
weather than to send them to
school. Many return to school
with written excuses that have
no real foundation whatever.
The State High School Inspec-
tor will be in Winslow for his
annual inspection some time dur
ing the month of February, as
he starts his Northern trip at
that time, and there are only 2
stops before he makes Winslow.
Remember that Parents Day
is Tuesday, December %. Class
es will recite all day in every
room, and parents and citizens
of this city, are cordially invited
to inspect the work being done,
also to look over the work done
this far this Semester by their
children. There will be work
shown in every room, embracing
the finished work in drawing,
writing, music, spelling etc.,
Manual Training, sewing, cook
ing, carving etc. Programs will
be held in many of the rooms to
which invitations were issued
the last of the week. All are in
vited to help us make this a day
of encouragement for all who at
tend the city schools.
Gallup has recently voted
| bonds to the amount of $50, 900
to provide for a new High school,
while Needles has voted an even
larger bond issue to increase
their facilities for education.
Neither place has within $50
children as many enrolled as has
Winslow. The High School at
this place is the largest between
Albuquerque and San Bernardino
on the Santa Fe.

1t is posted on the bulletin
board that both basketball teams
will leave for Williams on the
first day of January 1914 to play
off the other games with the
teams from that place. The
teams from Williams are good
spoatsmen but are rather light.
The managers of the basket
ball teams are trying hard to
schedule games with Prescott
and Gallup for the holidays, but
for some reason there is more or
less reluctance on their part to
playing indoors. Basketball is
pre-eminently an indoor sport as
/, it was designed to be played in
doors during the cold winter
months of the Northern States.
| Christmas vacacation will be-
gin this year on the evening of

will commence again Monday.

There has been considerable
moving to and from Winslow
during the past few weeks.
However the school enrolment
has shown a slight gain, so the
preponderance is in favor OF
Winslow and always.

This is our conviction concerning human nature in

1t has been but a very short time since the conception
of service t 0 a people ora community was applied only to preachers, teachers
and public Officials. To-day the live, wide awake merchant recognizes his OBJ
legation to serve the community And he wins through service.
WRENS PHARMACY has always recognized the
obligation of service. It's big business is built upon service; its function has
been to constantly serve.
The simple act of wrapping up a prescription and
handing it across the counter is relatively insignificant. This could doubtless
be done by a machine. We are studying constantly how we may better serve

HOW HIGH WAS HANNAH?

President Wilson and Secretary
Redield are said to be "convinced
that whatever unrest exists in connec-
ton with the new tariff law is artif-
cial and has been deliberately manu-
featured in an attempt to discredit
the national administration" The
statement is interesting because it
solves a profound mystery.
Doubtless it explains why the beet
s. gar manufacturers of the west are
preparing to curtail business when the
free sugar schedule begins. They are
actuated, it would seem, not with any
desire to protect their investments,
but ''to discredit the national admin
isifation." With millions of dollars
invested in this industry, they prefer
