sary to sandpaper gloss from the
varnish before the first coat of
paint is applied. Another way this
may be done quite simply and easi-
ly is by mixing a strong solution
of washing soda and borax. Ap-
ply this liquid with a large soft
brush, letting it stand until drv.
When it has thoroughly dried,
wash the surface we'll with clear
water. If all of the varnish does
not come off by the first applica-
ton, repeat the process until the
finish has entirely disappeared
This is an old-fashioned method
for removing varnish finish and
seldom fails if the solution of soda
and borax is sufficiently strong.

After the varnish is entirely re-

the surface of the wood with a
medium grade OF sandpaper, dress
ing it down as smooth as possible.
After this is done. the piece of

1t is surprising what excellent re-
suits can be derived by the use of
paint, stain or white enamel. Take,

Business and Golf.

A special dispatch to the daily
papers of recent date says that
the big interests of the country
have under consideration the
elimination of golf players from
managerial positions. After
careful study and observation it
has been shown certain captains
of industry that golf players
were producing less than nom
golf players, and that business
has shown signs of deterioration
under the supervision of habitues
of the golf links. Winslow has
an enthusiastic membership in a
golf club, and if these structures
of the popular game are true the
club will have to disband, be-
cause the producing power of
the membership must not be
curtailed in these strenuous times
of the high cost of living. There
is no denying the fact the game
has great fascination for its
devotees, and some few enthu-
siasts probably neglect their
usual avocations either to play
the game or discuss the last
score on the links, but this is
true of any sport or diversion.

Santa Fe to be Santa Claus.

According to the associated
press dispatches the directors of
the Santa Fe railroad, at their
regular meeting held in New
York City last Tuesday, authoriz-
ed a distribution out of their
surplus of an amount equal to
10 per cent of a years pay to all
it's employees who have been in
the service of the system for at
least two years, and whose an
nual compensation does not
exceed $4,000 per year. This will
be cheering news to about sixty
per cent of the population of
Winslow, and will mean a dis
tribution of several thousand
dollars.

High Cost of Living.

While other cities and towns
are worrying about paying fifty
cents for eggs, the standard
price in Winslow is forty cents.
The same condition is also true
about canned goods of all kinds,
the price in Winslow is less than
other cities. In other words if
people will trade at home they
will save more money, and add
TO the prosperity of the COM
munity, than by sending their
money out of town for an infer
ior article at a bigger price. Be
a real booster and spend your
money at home with the people
you know.

The operetta is the production

catchy airs that make you want
to whistle the tunes, and the IL
bretto is full of mirth-provoking
lines that justly earns it's title as
a comic operetta. Prof. La

presentation, accompanying all
the soloists and choruses. The
following is the cast:

Killed by Bank Robbers.

Charles Miner a resident of
Buckeye, this state, was instantly
killed when four Mexicans who
had looted the Buckeye Valley
bank, engaged in a street battle
with officials of the the bank
and citizens. The robbers made
their escape on horses, split up
into different pairs and are being
hunted through the toughest hill
section of Maricopa county by
posses of deputy sheriffs and
farmers.
W. H. Watson, cashier, was
the only man in the bank when
the four robbers entered at 3
o'clock. They stood him up
with six-shooters and gathered
together all the loose cash,
amounting to $4,000. AS they
fed from the building, Watson
drew a bead on them with a rifle,
but was prevented from firing
when they leaped into an automo-
bile and began struggling for its
possession with the driver.
At that time Miner turned the
corner, together with others who
were rushing to the scene. The
bandits opened fire and Miner
fell. Before they could be stop
ped, they reached their horses
in the rush 300 yards away and
were off.
Buckeye is small town thirty
miles southwest of Phoenix.
Miner, who was killed, was a
baker.
Three posses are in the field,
two from Phoenix and one from
Buckeye, endeavoring to over
take the bandits before they
reach the White Tank mountains.
Their horses are said to be jaded
by men who saw them ten miles
north of Buckeye.
