HOIbrOOk Wins From
 WinsIOw at Basket Ball

The Holbrook school boys, aided by two boys from town, defeated the Winslow High School basket ball team by a scorce of IA to 10 at Winslow on Thanksgiving afternoon.
 The game was called at 3:15 D.. m., and was played in the Wins low opera house. The fact that the game was played indoors was a great disadvantage to the Hol brook boys, who had heretofore done all playing and practicing on outdoor courts.
 The Holbrook team had the advantage of outwelghing their opponents. Considerable stir was caused bv Arthello Bates, the smallest man on the floor, mak- ing a field basket within three minutes after the opening of play. After this. special care was taken to give him no oppor- tunities at the basket, and one man was kept busy keeping the little fellow covered. Spurts of good playing were shown by H. Brinkerhoff and Clark Gardner, of Holbrook. and by Ray Suther- land and Eastman. of Winslow. We were unable to get the Wins low line up, but HoIbrook played as follows: Hiram Brinkerhof. center; Warren Brlnkerhoff, for ward; Arthello Bates, forward; Clark Gardner, guard; Glen Howard. guard.
 In the second half. w. Brink erboff and Gardner shifted posi- tions. The officials were: Gray, referee; Cornelius and Baldwin, timekeepers; LeBarge and Elem ing, scorekeepers-
 If enough interest is shown to warrant it, a return game will be played at Holbrook. The Winslow people showed them selves good losers and good en- tertainers, and should they come to Holbrook the town will be theirs.

Wholesale Executions
 As Result of Election

The complete unofficial returns from the recent election, show that Arizona defeated the initia- tive measure abolishing the death penalty. Fourteen men under sentence of death, who were re- prieved by Governor Hunt, so that the people might decide their fates. must therefore hang. The vote on the measure was: Yeas, 18.183; noes, 19. 329, caus- ing it's defeat by 1.146 votes. Until returns came from the last counties last Friday the result was in doubt.
 With the statement that his heart had been saddened by the verdict of the people in declin- ing at the recent election to abol- ish capital punishment, Governor Hunt declared that he would let

The Habits Of
 Working Men

A professor of Columbia Uni versity has just completed a test of character of 1000 working men of different sections of the United States and his report re- veals some interesting tenden- cies of the average laborer.
 Prominent among his discov- cries was the revelation that nine men in every ten laborers occupy a large amount of their spare time in reading the news papers, and that this number of them are subscribers to their local publications.
 Next rc the time spent with his family, the American loborer divides his spare moments in visiting friends and in reading newspapers.
 Of the thousand men investi- gated. 29 nationalities and 194 occupatlons were represented, and 300 of them belonged to trade unions. There were 580 members. while 420 did not profess religion. Six men in every ten are regular patrons of the picture shows and only three in ten used intoxicants in any form.
 Taking the one thousand men investigated as fair example of the average laborer. the Amer can workman reveals the strong est social spirit of that of any civilized nation on the globe.

Electric Lights And
 Ice For HOIbrOOk

Holbrook bids fair soon to take on metropolitan air. The pro- spects of having an electric light and ice plant in our city seem very good.
 Louis s. Firth, an experienced electric and ice man, has been in our midst for the past few days
 writing contracts with our citi- zens for the use of electric lights and ice. If MT. Firth can get the necessary amount of busi- ness subscribed he proposes to install an up-to-date electric and ice plant. MT. Firth tells us that, almost without exception, the people are signing contracts with him for these great con- veniences of modern life.
 However, it will be necessary for him to get the assurance of nearly all of the citizens. that they will use both light and ice. before he can be sure of success. Nearly every business house has agreed to use electricity, as also have many of the homes, but be- ing a stranger here, he has no doubt missed many who would like to use electric light. AS for ice, that this being the wrong season of the year. our citizens are not so anxious for this neces- sity, so he has not yet received the needed support to justify the plant. We all hope that MT. Firth can made a go of this pro ject. We certainly need both the lights and the ice. Candles. lamps and gasoline lights are all good in their way. but they do not compare in convenience with electric lights. Then. too. the cost of the electric light is not great and the extra convenience is alone worth the price.
 Ice we.can and do get. but we would all prefer to buy good ice delivered at our doors rather than to ship it in with the con- sequent loss by melting and the bother of delivering it from the d epot to ourselves.
 MT. Firth is manager of one of the electric plants of Gallup, N. M., and he is unable to stay longer and thoroughly canvass the town. However. the num- Der of contracts already signed has so encouraged him, that he has asked Captain Charles E. Perkins to interview those whom he failed to meet and get their assurance that they will use light and ice. We hope that MT. l Firth will receive sufficient en- dorsement to assure h1s return and that construction will inn mediately begin. If the support solicited is assured he will be- come resident of Holbrook with his family. Let us get together.

Concrete and Other
 SilOs in Arizona

The silo, which has become an
 economic factor of great impor-
 tance throughout the east, is be-
 coming established in Arizona
 also. says Prof. G. E. P. Smith,
 Irrigation Engineer of the Uni
 yersitY of Arizona Agricultural
 Experiment Station.
 Recently four large silos of
 approved construction have been
 erected by some of the progress
 sive farmers near Tucson and
 others are planned to be built in
 the near future. The largest of
 the new silos is 16 feet in diame-
 ter by 32 feet in height. and
 holds 131 tons of corn silage.
 The size IS about right for 40 to 50 head of stock. The other
 three silos are 15 feet in dlam- eter, suitable size for 9 to 30 head. All are monolithic con- crete structures, reinforced with hog wire fencing placed double and overlapping. The walls are
 ' inches thick, of gravel and
 cement in the proportions of 2 to 1, and were poured quite wet so as to get a good bond with the reinforcement. The forms were made in four segments, 30 inches high, and consisted of galvanized sheet iron held on a skeleton frame of wood. The interiors of the silos have been made air tight by painting them with hot asphalt. as is done with reservoirs. In response to an inquiry Prof. Smith recently in- Yestigated the relative costs of concrete and stave silos. It was found that. after considering all expenses including freight and the stave silo in Ari- zona is more expensive than con- crete. On all other counts, in- stability and during most certainly the pro- perly constructed concrete silo has the advantage. During a | trip through the east the past | many slave silos were l seen with loose hoops, warped | slaves, and generally racked ap- pearance, with many of them were leaning considerably in the in which the wind | blows. Concrete silos do not | blow down or burn or decay; the | lpkeep on them in practically | and they never wear out. Their only competitor in Arizona is the plasterd pit silo, which IS cheaper. plastering is a questionable type of construc- ton. It is preferable to line the pit with concrete, when it be- comes a true concrete silo. Pit silo are feasible only where the water table is 20 or more feet from the surface at all times of the year.
