GOOD ROADS BOOST
ERS HOLD MEETING

A meeting of good roads boost
ers was held in the Elk's building
Wednesday morning for the pur-
pose of forming a local Old
Trails Association, which will
work in conjunction with the nat
lonal organization in bringing
about better road conditions and
advertising the southern route.
The meeting was called to or
der by I j Kirken, who is sent
out by the narional organization.
and after some discussion it was
decided that a committee call on
interested parties and enroll a
membership. Seventeen men,
DerS were taken into the organ
ization Of which R C Kaufman
was elected chairman and nj w
Dadey secretary and treasurer.
The matter of making road
to the mountains over which
pleasure seekers from Winslow
may take an outing, is drawing
the attention of the organization
and is proposed that all members
contribute as much as possible
towards that end either in work
or cash.
1t is estimated that SO, 900 aut-
omobiles will pass through Win
slow this coming summer enroute
to the exposition, and good roads
leading to the scenic attractions
of this state will do more than
anything else towards bringing
motoring sight-seers into this
country every summer. The
Packard Company alone will send
200 machines through here about
the middle of June.

WINSLOW WINS
BASKETBALL CANE

The WinsloW High School Bas-
ket Ball team journeyed to Need
les and trimmed the California
boys 20 to 8. The game was a
one-sided affair from the start,
The Winslow team coming out IA
to Z in the first half. The second
half went even more in favor Of
the local boys and brought the
score up to 20 to 9.
This was WinsloW's first game
away from home and they were
not accustomed to the conditions
under which the game was play
ed. The court had been oiled
with crude oil a few days before
and was not in very good con
dition, consequently the teams
looked fierce" after their
''small scale football game. "
Sutherland made half the bas-
kets as usual but all the boys in
both teams played a good game.
The Needles boys proved them
selves good entertainers as the
locals were taken on an automo-
bile sightseeing trip, treated to
Ia banquet at the Harvey House
after which they enjoyed a dance
that was given in their honor.
The lineup was as follows:
Forwards: WinsloW Sutherland,
Sampson, Drumm; Needles
Sharp, Riley, Parker, Thompson.
Centers: Winslow LaPrade;
Needles Parker, Riley. Guards:
Winslow-Eastman, Lee, Wright,
Ramage; Needles Johnson, RAY

TOKENS OF ,SPR|NC

The busy little house-fly is out
with all his Wanton and frolic and
ere long the peace Of the bald
headed men will be scattered to
the four winds of heaven. AL
ready few numbed members of
the winged sextupedes are to be
seen basking in in the warming
rays Of cold SoP' meditatively
rubbing their legs as if prepair-
ing for the coming battle Of
Swat the Flies wherein no
quarters are given.
Another month and the young
fly s.fancy" will be lightly turning
to thoughts of love, and before
the first Of June arrives a count
less army will be busy wading in
the butter andspreading disease
and pestilence.
Now is the time to swat the
fly; now is the time to see to it
that all their breeding places are
dertroyed, and you may be rev.
arded by saving the life of some
fair babe right here in town. Re-
member that flies have been the
cause Of more deaths than all the
wars in the worlds history and
that this very summer more hu-
man beings will die because of
them than have already been
killed in this great European war.
Swat the flies and save our bald
headed men and babies!
Spring is manifesting itself in
other ways as we'll. Some of our
merchants are installing new aw-
nings or replacing old ones. Bah
bit Brothers recently put d large
one in front of their big store
which greatly improves the ap-
F. pearence Of the place especially
on hot days. The Kelly Drug
Company have taken down their
old one and a new one Of the
brindle variety now adorns their
place of business. The j C Pen
ney Company is having the latest
in the awnining line installed and
the largest one of its kind yet
made. This awning is automatic
and is the creation of the brain
of our local inventor, J B
Drumm, who recently installed
similar ones in front of his barber
shop and the residence of A }
Spellmire.

The Cantata, Cinderella IN

ren of the grammar at the Elec-

a very interesting affair espec-

part and those who were FORUM
ate enongh to be present.
The children did remarkably
well in view of the fact that so
many took part, the singing and
acting being especially good The
costumes, which were beautifully
and tastefully made, were quite
a feature in themselves. The
whole affair reflects credit on
the teachers and those who had
