carnations and the men received
shamrocks with cute little green
plug hats attached, after which
the programs were distributed.
Delicious punch was served
throughout the evening and at
midnight supper was served at
the Harvey House.
The dance throughout was one
of the most enjoyable affairs
that has been given in Winslow
and from every side was heard
words Of praise for those that
had the event in charge. Dane
ing ended at a late morning hour
and many were reluctant to GO
then.

Promising indications That
Winslow Will Mobilize
Strong Team

An enthusiastic baseball meet
ing was held last week in TIE
division engineers office. Tie
m eeting was called for the pur-
pose of perfecting an organize
tion and electing officers for the
present season. After spirited
contests Mr.. E. E. Ball was
elected president of the cluf.
W. H. Starr treasurer, and Jack
Gibson manager and secretary.
The proposition of building a.
new grandstand was then brought
up and it was decided to appoint
a committee for the purpose Of
securing funds to the amount Of
$500 for the erection of the stand.
which will seat nearly 1000 pee
pie. Ground will be leased from
the Santa Fe, south of the tracks.
just west of the company cot
tages. From present indications
the stano will be erected within
the next thirty days.
Of course the most important
thing to consider is the prospect
for q first-class ball club this sea-
son, which at the present time
seems to be very bright indeed.
Kline, the civil engineer who
caught three games for the local
club the first part of last season,
will be back. Kline is the best
catcher in this part of the coun-
try, not barring professionals:
an excellent receiver, has a good
throwing arm, and any pitcher
who has worked against him will
testify that he has no weakness
at the bat. Next we have Char
lie Arzilla: though small and
rather light; he is an excellent
catcher, fair hitter and throws
to the bases we'll. Morand is a
stranger to Winslow fans, hav-
ing played with San Bernardino
and Needles last season; he has
a very good record, throws right
handed and bats from either side
of the plate. He also plays in
field.
Probably more interest centers
around the pitching staff than
any other part of the team.
'Heine" Heyman, last season
with Gallup and responsible in a
very large measure for that
teams remarkable success, will
play with the local club this sea
son. Heyman is strong bitter
and plays the field equally as
well as well as he pitches, which
means that he will play the out
field when not pitching. Har-
mon, another prospect, is a
stranger to Winslow, which
that he will make a valu-
able man for the local club.

however, which we consider it
timely to state before tonclus.
ions are formed on q proposition
IN which the people of Winslow
generally will take considerable
interest, as affecting one of the
few summer sports that are
available.
When a change in the regular
order is suggested. the first in
qulry which naturally suggests it.
self is, what S the matter with
present conditions?
We have a ball ground now
which possesses advantages SUI
perior to those found in mos
towns. Of this size. The dia-
mond is level and in good condi-
ton. The grandstand is ade-
quately large to accommodate
the number of people who US
ally attend games. The location
is within easy reach of all and
we have good sidewalks all the
way.
Our knowledge of conditions
that would apply to the placing
of ball park across the railroad
tracks and at some distance west
of the depot will not, we think,
appeal to many people in Wins
low. In the first instance, the
cost of leveling a rocky surfaced
and sandy soil for ball park
and road leading thereto would
entail an expense, which would
be too considerable to offer pros
poets Of providing for.
Leaving aside, however, the
financial conditions which consti-
tute an element in all projects
requiring public support, we be-
lieve the strongest objections
would be based on the reluctance
of the people here to invite pos
sible accident by crossing the
tracks oftener than their busi-
ness requires.
This represents our first i'm
pressions of the enterprise. We
are always open to conviction on
matters pertaining to the peop-
les interests, but we believe the
success of all undertakings of
this character would be better
achieved by a full consideration
of the subject in which a larger
proportion of our townsmen
would have opportunity to par
ticipate.
Before the movement advances

OFFICERS INSTALLED
AND AMBITION
The Winslow Commercial
Club Is Getting Results and
More Are to Follow.

Inc WlnSlOW commercial Club,
though yet in it's infancy as q
power for public advancement, is
truly achieving the ends for which
it was instituted and it's influence
is being felt not only in Wins
low, but in other parts of the
country as we'll. But what has
been done for Winslow, and what
is being done? Let's see:
A movement has been started
to have the public lands adjacent
to Winslow thrown open to en-
try, and the members of the Ari-
zona Congressional delegation. at
the instance and request of our
Commercial Club, are using their
best efforts to see that the rich
agricultural lands adjoining this
city be thrown open to entry and
without doubt that great object
will be accomplished within a
comparatively short time.
A bill is now pending before
Congress to sell a quarter section
of land to the Town Of Winslow
for park and cemetery purposes,
and to the credit of our city
council be it said that they are
in favor of the proposition and
have gone on record to that eff
feet.
A movement is on foot to have
free mail delivery in Winslow,
beginning shortly after July 1st,
and we are assured by the pro-
per authorities that such will be
the case.
Action was taken to have the
city survey and determine the
corporate lines of the town of
Winslow. That has been accom-
plishd. Are we getting results? :?
| A bridge is soon to be built
across Jacks canyon near this
city and the long hoped for
bridge spanning Little Colorado
just east of the city is soon to be
a reality as Mr.. Atwood, accom-
panied by a delegation of our en-
terprising citizens, viewed the
site on Wednesday of this week.
Mr.. Atwood is connected with
the office of Hon. Lamar Cobb,
state engineer.
A representative of the u. S.
Weather bureau was here We'd

ton accepted the position Of local
observer in order that Winslow
weather conditions may be made
a matter of record.
A committee has been appoint
ed to consult Mr.. Greer, agent
for the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco Land Company and deter
mine just what steps are necess-
ary to be taken to get control of
Tucker Flat for the purpose of
converting it into a lake, which
in the nature of affairs would
make a health and summer res

will report at the next meeting

AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS
WANTED FOR EXPOSITION

AS one OF the means of following up
the splendid advertisement Louisiana
has received from the tour OF the agri-
cultural editors through this state last
June and July, the Agricultural and
immigration Department of the State,
out of the funds appropriated by the
Legislature for the maintenance of the
immigration division, has decided to
send a display of Louisiana's agricul-
tural products to the forthcoming In.
ternational Dry-Farming Congress and
Agricultural Exposition, at Wichita,
Kansas, October TIT.
Commissioner E. o. Bruner has plac-
ed this matter in the hands of Hon.
Harry d. Wilson and myself, and we
would be pleased if you would make
mention of the fact that we are to have
this display at Wichita as we are de-
sirous of having every section of the
state represented by samples of this
years products at the Exposition, and
we would ask that you appeal to the
farmers and farm organizations of your
locality to send to US at the Louisiana
State Museum, Chartres and st. Ann
Sts., New Orleans, La, whatever pro-
duets they desire to have included in
the exhibit. We especially solicit the
sending of corn and other grains, soy
beans, sugar-cane, potatoes, peanuts
and any other variety of farm products.
We would ask that you be SO kind as
to advise us at the earliest possible
date as to what we may expect from
your locality of the state. All products
are to be sent charges collect not later
than September 26th. The funds at
our command will not permit us to
purchase any of the exhibits, but we
will be able to pay express charges
On same.
1t is understood that the exhibit is
to be returned to the state to be used
at other expositions this year. This
movement will no doubt result in con.
siderable good coming to the people of
the state, and we should receive all
possible assistance in gathering cred
liable exhibit.

THE NEW PoPE's CORONATION

Pope Benedict XIV was crowned
Sunday. "He who enters as pope
leaves as cardinal"
This famous saying, nearly as old as
the Catholic church itself, has held
good in the latest selection of the pope
of Rome. The cardinal who enters the
sacred college as the likeliest candi-
date for pope leaves as he came in
still cardinal
Outranked by practically every mem
Der OF the senate of the Catholic
church, the newest cardinal really one
of the very last in line according to
seniority-will sit upon the throne of
ISt. Peter while the prominent cardi-
nails will remain-just cardinals.
Another Leo XIII administration is
promised for the Catholic church!
The coronation took place in the
Sistine Chapel. The ceremony was
imposing in its solemnity. The Sistine
Chapel was used for the occasion to-
avoid pomp during the war. The en-
tire pontifical court, numbers of the
Roman aristocracy and the family of
the pontiff were present.
The scene, with Pope Benedict seat
ed in the sedia gestatoria, preceded by
bearers of the triple crown and fanked
by bearers of the celebrated feather
fans and sixty cardinals in their full
vestments, was striking one. When
the ceremony ended the pope was re-
ceived with loud acclaim.

LOUISIANA A CORN STATE.

The Farm Review, a Chicago agri-
cultural publication which Boasts of a
circulation of 100000 copies weekly
prints the following relative to the
possibilities of the corn crop in Louis
lana. The article was written by a
representative of that paper who re-
Gently visited the state with party of
agricultural editors.
1.-THE opinion prevails quite generally
that the South is not corn country.
1t was not few years ago, but times
are changing. Experience has demon
strated that corn can be grown just as
successfully and profitably in the South
as in the North. The corn crop of
Louisiana alone will this year approx
mate over 100,0OO,000 bushels. Corn
has become Louisianas leading staple
crop in point of acreage devoted to it,
quality and value During the last
three years the increase in the corn
yield of this Southern state has been
over 10 per cent. Cotton and cane no
longer reign as undisputed sovereigns
among the crops which are producing
agricultural wealth in this favored
state. Louisiana farmers are studying
corn and their boys are studying corn
some 1000 of them under the direc;
ton of competent and experienced men
furnished by the state and nation in
cooperation. 100 bushels per acre
crops are not infrequent. Many farm
lads have done considerably better
than this, some even reaching the 15O-
bushels-per-acre mark. Louisiana corn
fields present a revelation to the
Northern farmers that must be fully
appreciated"

FARM FOLKS ARE LEARNING.

(The Progressive Farmer.)
l. They are beginning to quit farm
| ing by signs of the moon and begin
ming to farm by sense Of the earth.
2. They have quit laying by" by the
time of the year and are beginning to
clay by" by the condition of the crop.
8. They no longer buy fertilizer by
the smell of the goods. but are begin
ming to buy it for the plant foor it
contains.
4. They are beginning to realize that
there is no sense in killing Southern
grass all summer and buying Western
grass all winter; nor in paying freight
and brokers charges on Western corn
and meat when we can raise them here
without these extra charges.
5. And especially do they realize
that it doesn't pay both to pay freight
on hay and buy nitrogen in sacks,
when clover, vetch, and cowpeas will
not only furn 'sh cheap feed, but gather
fortunes in nitrogen "free-gratic" from
the air above us.
6. They are beginning also to see
that it is cheaper to use horse-labor
that needs food but not clothing than
human labor which needs both food
and clothing-and cheapest of all to
use a maximum of machinery which
requires neither food nor clothing.
7. They see, too, that the main ques-
ton is not how much we make, but
how much we keep, and that time
prices and foolish marketing may keep
men poor in spite of wise production
s. And finally they are beginning to
realize that just as there is many a
load which one horse working alone
would never bulge but which several
horses hitched together pull easily,
just SO there is many plan for the
farmers benefit which farmers single
handed can do nothing with, but which
a group of farmers hitched together
can easily accomplish.
