Il. L. COnWeI returned from
Phoenix Sunday morning, where
he went to appear before the SUI
preme court to be admitted to
the supreme court Of Arizona.
Mr.. Conweli has recently settled
in Winslow for the practice of his
profession, and The Mail wishes
him every success. Mr.. ConWell
is a graduate of Cumberland I'm
iversity, of Lebanon, Tennessee
and has been admitted to prac-
tice before the supreme courts of
New Mexico and Montana, and
is a young attorney of eXcep-
tional ability, especially in land
and criminal practice, and we
predict for him a successful and
brilliant career as a practitioner
IN Navajo county. During his
comparatively short residence in
Winslow, Mr.. Conwell has dem
onstrated that he is a man of le-
gal attainments and already he
stands high in the estimation Of
our business men and the people
generally.
Mrs. Thomas j. Hesser, very
highly respected lady and one of
the pioneers of Winslow, cele-
brated her birthday on the first
instant, and was the recipient of
hearty congratulations from a
large circle of friends. Mrs.
Hesser came to WinSlOw awav
back in 1887, and has resided
here ever since with her husband
(old Tom Hesser) and conse-
quently is one of the early pio-
neers of Northern Arizona. Mrs.
Hesser is of old Dutch and Welsh
stock, and came to this country
from Pennsylvania, and has al
ways been equal to all occasions
as a Westerner. Her numerous
friends, not only in Winslow, but
throughout Arizona, wish her
many happy returns of the day,
and may she live long and be the
same old help mate that she has
been to all the old timers in
this section.

Arizona State Fair.

The different State" societies
in the state have comprised them
selves into one organization call
ed the "All States Society,
This All States Society, which
is composed of all the state So
cleties, expect to keep booth at
the Arizona State Fair through
out the week, where a register
will be kept, and the people from
the different parts of the state
and from the same state origin
ally, may become acquainted
with each other.
On Friday night of the fair,
the people propose to have an
immense parade, where floats
representing each state and ma
ton may be viewed.
Saturday, as you know, is All
States Day at the fair.
Now, here is where you get in.
The All States society wants
every Board of Trade in the
state to send postal cards as
many as they please-to the "All
States booth at the State fair,
where they will be given away
free to anyone who may apply
for them. to be mailed back to
the old home, advertising the
State of Arizona.
A number of boards of trade
sent cards last year, and we hope
every board of trade in the state
will send large number of cards
for free distribution and for adj
vertising theState of Arizona.
Let one side of the card be a
picture representing something
of interest in your county or To-
cality; on the other side print
All States Day, Arizona State
Fair" with such additional in
formation as you may desire, or
the postal department will per-
nit.
If you will express the cards
to me, | will see that they are
delivered to the All States society
for mailing and distribution.
The present outlook is for the
greatest State fair we have ever
had. The educational features
of the fair are great. The social
intermingling Of the people from
the different parts of the state is
of immense value to the state in
many ways, but the advertising
features and opportunities pre-
sented by the fair are immense,
and this sending of cards adver-
tising the various resources of |
our great state to our neighbors
and friends Of the old home
place, is becoming one of the
great factors in advertising and
building up of the state. Do not
fail to do your part in providing
of advertising your own
particular locality.
Yours truly,
C. B. WooD,
Secretary.

Sept. Goth, 1918.

where there is but one or even
three or four kilowatts of electrici-
ty used. My informatirn has been
in the absence of the printed
laws passed by the last session of
our Legislature, that both of the
above named conditions are in
direct violation of law.
Very respectfully.
c.. H. RUTHERFORD,
City Attorney Of Winslow.
Phoenix, Arizona,
Sept. oath, 1913.
Hon. C. H. Rutherford,
City Attorney,
Winslow, Arizona.
Dear Sir
Replying to yours of
September the Goth, | beg to ad-
vice that in the schedule of rates
filed by the Winslow Electric
Light and Power Company with
this Commission on the 18th day
of April 1912, there is designated
the item of SIS. 90 deposit required
on meter, the same to be refund
ed upon surrender of meter.
] am passing no opinion op the
reasonableness or unreasonable
ness Of this particular charge.
However, at the last Special Ses-
sion of the First Legislature, it
was enacted that all companies
engaged in the generation or
distribution of electricity, should
pay interest at the rate Of 8 per-
cent per annum, to such of its
consumers deposit with the COM
pany. This law is effective Octob-
er 1st, 1918.
Now regarding the minimum
charge of ST.. so, imposed at Wins
low, irrespective of the quantity
consumed, Section Z, Of Chapter
So, of the Acts of the First Special
Session of the First Legislature,
provides as follows:
It shall be unlawful for any
person, firm, or corporation to
sell and deliver, charge and col
lect for, or pay for, water, cleo
trical energy, or illuminating gas,
used or to be used for lighting,
heating, or other commercial or
domestic purposes, except by me-
ter measurement, if the consum-
er shall request that the same be
sold by meter measurement; or
to charge and collect for, or pay
for, a greater amount of such
water, electrical energy, or illum-
mating gas, than actually fur
nished during the period for which
the charge was made; Provided,
however, that an allowance of not
exceeding three per centum
e percent) may be made for in
accuracy in meter measurement. :"
This Commission has hereto
fore, and does now, take the po-
sition that this particular Section
prevents the charging Of any
minimum bill, and the valid
charge shall consist of bill rem
dered for the actual quantity of
electricity consumed by meter
measurement where meters are
used.
In accordance with this holding
on our part, the Attorney Gener-
al of Arizona, instructed the
various county attorneys through
out the State, to prosecute any
violations of the above law re-
ferred to.

4 MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who are "Just Ready to Drop"

When you are "juse ready to drop" when you feel so weak that you can hardly drag yourself about--and be- cause you have not slept we'll, you get up as tired-out next morning as when you went to bed, then you need help right away.
 Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma lone. N. F., saying: ''f was in badly rundown condition for several weeks, but two bottles of Vinol put me on my feet again and made me strong and well. Yinol has done me more good than all the other medicine ever took"
 If the careworn, haggard men and women, the pale, sickly children and feeble old folks around here would follow Miss Dumas example. they. too, would soon be able to say that Vinol. our delicious cod liver and iron remedy, had built them up and made them strong.
 It is wonderfully strengthening and invigorating body-builder, and we sell it under an ironclad guarantee of satisfaction. You get your money back if Vinol does not help you.
