WINSLOW THANKS this

Appreciation Of Helping Hand
Northern Arizona People
Distributing Literature

Recognizing as superior, only
the great capital city itself, the
live little city of WinsloW is max
ing preparations for organized
progress. In a letter from Act
ing Secretary E. P. ConWell of
the Winslow chamber of com
merce, is expressed some of the
high intentions of the commercial
body of that place.
Eve recognize Phoenix only as
superior in progress to WinsloW, T"
writes ConWell. Judging by the
speed of the capital city, Winslow
to be close behind, must be grow
ing rapidly and healthily.
The letter was one of thanks
for the Phoenix clubs efforts to
distribute literature for the north
ern club. A great publicity
campaign is being waged by the
Winslow chamber of commerce,
and it was in furtherence of this
that the Phoenix board handled
the literature.

IMPROVED PARSEL POST

Post Master General Burleson
las applied to the Interstate Co
nmerce Commission for permiss-
on to increase the weight limit
from 20 pouds to so pounds for
parcel post packages. When the
parcel post law was enacted it
provided that the postmaster &C.
leral could enlarge the service
md change the limits, by and
With the consent of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. The
e is no doubt but that the Com
nission will promptly grant its
approval and.so the usefulness
IF the Parcel Post service will be
tremendously increased. With a
limited weight of 20 pounds. This
service has already proven
great blessing by bringing the
producing farmer into direct COM
nunication with the city consul
ner, and with this raising OF the
INIT to 50 POUNDS not only will
)utter and eggs and Vegetables
)e more largely shipped, but
.lso poultry and fresh meats will
lie sent directly from the pro-
,tucer to the consumer thereby
giving greater prosperity to the
armer and at the same time re-
lucing the cost of living to M.
Iity Man. Postmaster Gen. Bur
eson only came into Office on
March 4th of this year and last
iummer he changed the limit
rom II pounds to 20 pounds, and
low proposes to change it to 50
pounds, sufficiet evidence for the
)alief that in less than a year
le will ask permission to carry
packages for the public of 100
/ pound weight through the Post
office. 1t is the general belief
hat the end of the Express Co.
npanies is in sight and that in
'ew years they will be taken ov-
n by the Post Office department
which, should have been done

ELKS EAT DEER AT
BIG QUALIFICATION
]. c. Amen, a Popular Member
Of Local Lodge Provides
Venison for the Feast

During the past several years
the local lodge of Elks have con
Quoted many festivities from
which the participants derived
much pleasurable entertainment
but it remained for Winslow' s
night marshall familiarly known
as Dutch" Amen (Just Dutch
will do) to hit upon a way OF
bringing JOY to the hearts Of his
brother Elks in a way that was
both novel and Satisfying.
On a recent hunting trip in
the tall pines Dutch by the
aid of duly authorized license
and true craftsmanship brought
down a handsome specimen Of
the pronged tribe.
This amount OF meat would or
dinarily supply his personal wants
at least until eggs take a drop,
but like all good fellows he pre-
ferred to share good thing with
his friends and accordingly put
his venison at the disposal Of his
fellow fraternalists.
December 18 tn was set as the
date and the Elk's banquet hall
as the place for the big feast.
The arrangements were placed
in the very capable and depend
able hands of ice La Chance and
Arthur Smith with such skilled
assistants as Mrs. Charles Bled-
soc and Mrs. Joe La Chance and
the work of preparation was ex-
ecuted with such thoroughness
that when the table was laid to
accommodate one hundred and fif
ty guests there was nothing to do
but eat and make merry.
Dutch had not only provided
the substantial part of the menu
but contributed his personal SER
vices in the capacity Of head
chef, seeing to it that none of its
excellence was lost in the opera
ton of cooking. With the roast
ed spuds and all the other embel-
ishments and accessories gener-
ally deignated as trimmings"
prepared by the ladies in charge,
a feast for the gods was in readi-
ness.
Those whose tastes had not
previously been privalaged to in
dulge in anything beyond mere
turkey or broiled lobster were in
anxious expectancy and felt that
they were to be given the final
degrees as epicures.
The selection of DR.. Geo. P.
Sampson as tOastmaster was a
happy one and he acquitted him
self in his usual felicitous way,
introducing as speakers the Rev
erends Marx, WhiteandRoss, and
Trainmaster Shipley. The sen
timents they expressed, highly
complimentary to the Elks were
received with enthusiastic app
lause.
The daughters Of Shipley con-
tributed their musical talents the
sweet strains to which the merry
feasters tangoed and trotted as a
conclusion toathe ocsasion and
the belief was expressed that
fiend Dutch" had the right
idea of the way to make people
really happy,
