GUIDE TO JAPAN.

Walk up five months, beginning
with January, turn sharply to your
right, and there is June.
June is noted for its roses and
honeymoons. There are more DESC
lated households in June, on account
of outgoing brides, than at any other
time. Also more households where
mamma experiences a grand feeling
of relief and papa hopes that now
expenses can be cut down.
To enjoy June properly, take an
early start. Begin to make your
plans about it in March. Get rid of
your moral courage, your character
and your regular business. Then.
grabbing all the money there is in
the cash drawer, enter June with
confidence and give yourself up to it
with the complete serenity of house
less irresponsibility.-Life.

NAVAJO- APACHE
 TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Manager w. B. Woods Expresses
 Satisfaction With Conditions.

On our rounds in calling on the business men of the town. we dropped into the office of the Navajo-Apache Telephone Sys- tenn, and in an interview with MT. w. B. Woods, one of the officers of that company, he stated that during the past year they had no cause for complaint, and that the business had great ly increased during 1914. The company has made extensive improvements on its lines, in- cluding a rebuilding of most of the line between St. Johns and Sprinqerville. besides installing local exchanges at Concho, Springerville and Edgar. Last fall this company took over the operation of the Northern Ari- zona Telephone Co.,, the line be- tween Holbrook and Winslow. In HoIbrook alone there are one hundred telephones, which num- Der is being constantly increased, and Mir. Woods stated that if the Holbrook exchange kept on in- creasing at this rate. they would have to install a larger switch board, Tn order to take care of new subscribers. The telephone has long been recognized as one of the greatest modern mediums for the transacting of business, as we'll as being an almost uni yersal household convenience. The company expects shortly to make up a directory which will show all its telephone connec- tions. and all subscribers will be supplied with the directory.

School Notes Of
 Special Interest

Deha Moore took up work in the eighth grade, Monday.
 Truant Officer Frank George has been at work this week. MT. George is taking hold in a way that promises better at tendance for our schosls in the future.
 Minnie Howard, ot the High School department. is taking some special training in meth ods of teaching. She is taking this work in order to qualify for a first grade teachers cer- tificate when spring examina- tions are held.
 Word comes to us that all eighth grade pupils must pass an examination prepared by the State Board of Examiners before graduating. This will mean hard work. but we believe our pupils will be ready to meet the occasion.

An Important Meeting.

The Arizona Cattle Growers Association, which met in con- vention on the 4th. will have, according to the Arizona Repub- lican. a number of important matters to consider. Among them will be the matter of regu- lating the open range, considera- ton of the tariff and western freight rates, as well as the sub- jects of taxation, a land policy and the script question. No previous convention of the state association has had under con- sideration so many matters bearing upon the live stock in- dustry.

It Is Up to Us.

From the views expressed in letters to The Worlds Work, from Sir Edward Grey on behalf of England, Count Okimu of Japan, Dr. Won Bothmann-Holi- veg of Germany. and Dr. Con- stantln Theodor Dumba of Austro-Hungary, it appears that the warning powers are agreed on one thing, namely. that the United States is to be the final arbiter when the war ends. If not the agent to bring about peace.

the standard set by MT. Will Hams, and can stand all the GUS sing that the assessor is sup posed to get, we predict for him a successful administration.
 In the office of the County At torney is MT. c. H. Jordan, who is also 2 new member of the off, cial colony. He succeeds MT. J. E. Crosby, who held the office for the past three years. MT. Jordan came here about four years ago, from White iver. leav- ing the civil service to enter the practice of law. locating here in Holbrook. He has made a success of hIs law business and has built up large increasing practice. We have no fear but that the county legal business will be given the best of atten- tion at all times.
 The Board of Supervisors. Here we find the long table sur rounded by an entire new board. consisting of R. C. Creswell of Winslow, George Hennessey of HoIbrook, and Q. R. Gardner of Woodruff, who succeed J. B. Richards of St. Joseph, E. T. Hatch of Taylor, and John Moore of WinsIow. MT. Creswell IS chairman of the new board and one of the solid business men of the county and of Winslow. where he has lived many years. He has served the county as member of the board Tn former years, as has also Q. R. Gardner, so their faces are famlilar at the table. MT. Hennessey is the new conner of the three in the official family and has not had the board experience of the others, but with Creswell and Gardner sit- ting on the lid George will prove an apt scholar, and we would ad- wise the public not to try to put anything over them.
 Capt. Chas, E. Perkins was appoined to the position of Coun- tv Engineer. which IS a new job. We feel sure that the Captain will cover himself with glory. but we will reserve our compli- ments, for a while at least.
 Dr. J. w. Bazell was reap pointed as County Physician un- der contract. The Doctor will give the office the same business like attention that he has in the past. which gave him a strong lead for re-appointment.
 Frank George was appointed Janitor to succeed David Brink erhoff. MT. George will have to move some to keep the place as spotIess as did his predecessor. We will reserve our sayings until next week when we will hand Frank one of Walt Mason's Ripping Rhymes.

RETROSPECT
 AND PROSPECT


 of Holbrook, this week, revealed a very optimistic spirit prevalent in the town. They were all lover ears" in work, taking ac- count of stock and preparing for an increase of business in 1915.
 The proprietors of some estab- lishments were found down eel lar, among boxes and sacks, some with heads agalnst the cell ing, Investigating top shelves, while others were measuring, counting and recording yards, pounds and bushels of a miscel- laneous assortment of goods, for stores in this town are veritable department houses. And let us say, in passing, that before send ing away for anything. you will do well to investigate and ascer- tain what your home merchants have. and purchase where you can see just what you are get ting.
 Despite the rush of stock-tak- ing, we found the merchants one and all very courteous and will ling to stop long enough to ex- press the universal verdict that the year just closed, despite the unusual conditions incident to the war in Europe, has been, on the whole, very satisfactory, from a business point of view. and shows substantial balance on the favorable side of the ledger.
 With the hopeful financial out look for 1915, with our great and growing stock industry. the enormous freighting business done from this point. the weather now settled and roads getting better, with new build lngs going up on all sides, we do indeed seem to be starting on an era of prosperity.
 As further proof that business has increased during the past year, we refer our readers to the interview with MT. w. B. Woods, of the Navajo-Apache Telephone System, also to the statement as to the increase of business at the postofice.
 Another criterion of success in business is the condition of the banks, shown in their finan- cial statements. published in these columns at stated inter vals, and which evince steady growth in the volume of busi- ness.
 In the amusement line, too, we find perhaps one of the best measures of the prosperity of community, for where times are hard, people do not, as a rule, attend theatres and moving pie ture shows. In this connection, the fact that the Pastime Theatre is continually exhibiting first class serles of reels to full houses is sufficient evidence. of Dros- perity.
 We called at the depot. too, but all hands there were so oc- cupied in disposlng of the busi- ness incident to the increasing freight traffic, that they had no time to think of what they were doing last year. AS in the case of the merchants, we may have some statement later.
