new YEARS
EVE DANCE

The dance given New Years
eve at the Electric was attended
by one of the largest crowds ever
attending a dance in Winslow.
The hall was radiant with beauti-
ful gowns and the sweet strains
of Shipley's orchestra, the dying
old year was spent in making
merry. Some of the members of
the Young Peoples Dancing Club
demonstrated that the Tango and
Hesitation Waltz is not unknown
here.
At IL clock the crowd became
rioteous with joy, and great
enthusiasm prevailed as the New
Year made it's appearance. The
Winslow basketball teams was
cheered heartily many times dur
ing the evening, and their par
ticular brand of yell" were in
dulged in by enthusiastic rooters.
A reception was also tended to
the recently elected President,
Al Goyke, and after the dance
he has given the Big Eats.

Understand, the above list was

made of the thousands of dollars
spent in improvements, street

But what about the new year?
Is it to be a better year than the
last? The solemn bell that tolled
the knell of the departing year
also announced the arrival of the
new, The same heart throbs that
gave life and animation to the
old must pulsate in the new. The
same hands that labored to
crown the old with success must
in great part shape the destlnles
of the new. In the Kleindienst

LOOKING BACKWARD
The Year That is Gone. A
Retrospect.

Nineteen Hundred thirteen
has passed into the eternity of
vanished years and at the thres-
hold of the New Year we should
stop and consider what if any
thing the old year brought forth.
May we truly say; 'Of all the
ages, times noblest offspring IS
the last. Not all the veXed
questions and problems OF our
complex civilization have been
solved by any means. Indeed 1t
may be said that some OF the
most serious in American History
are awaiting solution during the
coming year. Joy and glaoness
and health and pleasure are meas
ured only in the coin OF the Eter-
nal Kingdom and this article has
little to do with them, but rather
with material things, with IN
dustrial progress, the progress
of Winslow. Has WinsloW made
any marked progress during the
past twelve months? Let's see.
There isn't space enough in this
issue of the MAIL to give oppor-
tunity for more than a mere men

have been made here. Just read

WINSLOW wins
BASKETBALL GAME

The local High School Basket
ball teams started the New Year
Alright when they journeyed to
Williams on Thursday and took
the school teams from that City
into camp by decisive scores.
The Girls game was played
first and from the start it was
evident that the Winslowians re-
tanned their supremacy. Miss
Mahoney starred in this game by
caging 13 field goals but was ab-
ly assisted by the excellent team
work of the center, Miss Allen
and the other forward Miss But
ner. On par with the offensive
work was the defensive work of
Misses Dadey and Marley. Not
one field goal was thrown by the
Williams forwards. Both points
were scored on throws. Wilt
ans used two substitutes, Wins
low none. Final score % to 2.
Prof. Youngblood referred an
impartial game.
The boys game started with
some fast passing by WinsloW
for the first five minutes. Mar
ley, Sampson and Parks Gagged
goals, after that period as the
Williams players did not have the
stamina to stand the rapid pace.
At no time in the game did Wilt
ans have a chance to put their
team work into play, as the de-
fensive playing of Drumm and
Wright kept the ball under the
Williams goal nearly all of the
time. The first half ended with
the score 22 to 2. Both points
for Williams being registered OH
fouls. Williams scored four field
goals in the last six minutes of
play, showing their familiarity
with the court, and what they
can do if they could get the ball.
The game ended with a tusillade
of field goals by Marley and
Sampson. Parke outjumped the
Williams center getting the ball
on nearly every tip of the game.
Final score, Winslow 43 Williams
10.
After the. game the teams
were served with big dinner in
the school auditorium by the
mothers of the Williams players.
A social time was enjoyed by all
and everyone from this City
agrees in say;'7 e that the Will
ans school people are true sports
men and royal entertainers and
that Prof. Youngblood is a fit
leader for them. Mr.. Youngblood
refereed both games and not one
decision was questioned which is
a unique record. Good luck and
a prosperous New Year to the
Williams School and their teams.
Those making the trip we're:
Misses Mahoney, Dadey, But
ner, Marley, Allen and Cava-
naugh. Messrs Sampson, Marley,
Mclean, Drumm' Parke, Wright
and Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius. The
teams went to Williams on No. 7
and returned on No. 10.
Detailed scores will be in next
weeks issue.

Kansas City Market Letter
Respectfully,
w. E. BECK.

Kansas City Stock Yards. Dec.
20, 1913. Beef steers advanced
rs to 40 certs last week, COWS
and heifers strong to 25 higher,
stock cattle and feeders about
steady. Fancy yearlings sold at
$9. SO during the week, similar to
ten dollar yearlings when the
Christmas premium was being
paid. Receipts today are 10, 900
head, and the market is strong
to Is higher. Heavy steers sold
up to $3.50 today, and middle
class fed steers at $7.75 to SO. 40.
Choice heifers bring $9. Is, anu
best heavy cows $500. Veal
calves bring up to $1f.00, and
stock calves are a quarter higher
today, tops at 1926. Stock cat
tie and fed feeders are unevenly
higher today, good to choice
stockers and feeders selling at
$6.75 to 81. 40. Quarantine re-
ceipts are light today, 43 cars.
Some we'll finished meal fed
steers, 1885 pounds average,
brought $500, the highest this
month. Some medium short fed
steers brought $6.75 in the quar-
antine division, and Arkansas
and Louisiana COWS and steers at
$3.50 to $6.25. Cold weather has
been help to live stock prices
and the market is on a healthy
basis.
The Christmas turkey was ex-
pected to exert adverse influence
this week, and the fact that pric
es are higher today, on fairly
liberal receipts, bears out the
prophecy of commission men that
advances in the cattle market
may be expected beginning with
January.
Hogs also are going up. The
market is 10 to Is higher today,
some sales of light weights 20
higher, and statesmen assert that
eight dollars will be paid tomor-
row. Receipts are very light
here, 5000 head today which
proved insufficient to go around.
Order buyers were looking for
good 18O to 100 pound hogs to-
day, but none were here. and
packers paid the top price, $795
for two lots, one medium weight
and the other heavy hogs. High
ly mixed light weights sold at
ST. 60 to 81. 80, bulk Of sales 81. .65
to 81. 80.
Sheep and lambs arrived to the
number of 1l,0O0 today, market
strong on sheep, weak on lambs
Several lots Of pea fed lambs
from the San Luis Valley sold at
$8.O5 today, and ewes sold early
at $4.85, whethers quotable up
to $3.50, yearlings $500. Kansas
fed western lambs brought $50
Friday. Prospects for balance
Of this week indicate light re-
ceipts.

EUL0CY TO THE GRAY
HEADED PATRIOTS

OF great opportunities, a land
whose climate is delightful, whose
resources are unlimited and
whose sons are uneXcelled in love
for their country.
There are just as good men in
the hills and mountains of North
ern Arizona as any place on earth.
The men who came here in the
early days when the country was
being developed, and pasaed thru
the Indian troubles, and paved
the way for a greater civilization
were men of strength and en-
duraace, and the work they have
done is self evident. They have
made for themselves a name
that will be the envy of .gener-
ations to come, and, by their un-
tireing energy have started US
on the road to prominence in
national affairs.
Here are the men whose heads
have become gray in the service
of their country, and who now
tand as monuments reminding
us Of the strife and discomfort in
which our country. was brought
into being; men whose greatest
ambition has been to serve their
country, not to gain the applause
of the fellow countrymen but
becansa in their veins there cour-
sed the blood of a true Ameri-
can citizen who is willing to die,
if need be, for his native land.
We are 1.ot uneasy about our des-
tiny so long as the ship of state
is guided by men like these, but
we rest content in the Shadow of
tlleir wisdom and ex pefiences i;ut
these men whose path thru life
is strewn with good deeds, and
whose livesshave been given fer
the cause of humanity are not
going to stay with US always.
Fhey will soon pass to- their re-
ward, then the crucial time will
come when the young generation
take hold Of the affairs of Gov
ernment. Let US not presume as
young men that we know as
as much as these men Of years
and experience; we may have the
learning of a college graduate,
training of a diplomat, yet our
natures have not been ripenedi
the school of experience that has
been the trysting place Of our
gray headed brethern. Let's take
off our hats to them and do rev.
erence to the very groundthey
walk on, and let the earnest
prayer of every one of us be,
that when these honored ones ar
called to their last reward, theirs
may be shining crown such as
befits man who has spent his
life in the service of his country.
Each gray hair that crowns
your silvered brow marks the
passing of a human experience
each wrinkle in your furrOwed
palm is but the print left by an
obstacle which yon met in the
road of progress, and grasping
it with the determination of a
true patriot, you hurled it from
your path, thus making easier
for those who follow you, the
road to success and fame.
Roll on, Oh ship of state, roll
on! Great taings are in front of
us, that will try our chivylry to
the core, incidents that will bring
out in strong relief the quality
of our natures and deterine whe-
ther We stand firmly by the
wheel Of progress or shirk the
responsibilities of a true citizen.
The great men Of tomol row are
being forged by the knocks of
disappointment today. Our USE
fulness as citizens is measured
by our ability to overcom diff
culties, and our discernment of
the right course to pursue in try

and gives the public the most eff
ficient service at the least ex-

would ever stop now to question
its ownership. Anyway,
Mr.. Green could no

yesterday afternoon by the overwhelm-
Ing vote OF 2S2 to ~, Iowa will get as
her annual share of the $25,000.0 900 fund
