NAVAJO COUNTY FAIR IS
NOW ALMOST AN
ASSURED GO

Just because we have been
keeping mum about the Navajo
County Fair proposition does not
mean that it has fallen by the
wayside. 1t looks now as if it
would be sure go-everyone
so far consulted about it strongly
favors the proposition. The edi-
tors of the Holbrook News and
the. Winslow Mail both say it
would be a grand thing. and
will be there in the boosting
line at the proper time. A
meeting of the Navajo County
Farm Association will be held in
Snowflake on the8 Sd of next
month, at which time the mat
ter will be brought up before
that body. 1t will be an oppor-
tune time, too, as representa-
tives from different sections of
the county will be in attendance
at the farm meeting, and proba-
bly, others interested in the fair
proposition.

SCHOOL IS GROWING
BUILDINGS ARE BAD
LY NEEDED

To become convinced Of the
steady but sure growth of Snow
flake it is only necessary to
make short visit to the public
school. 1t has an enrolment
of 18O bright pupils each bub-
bling over with some new thought
and we'll disciplined by very
efficient corps of five teachers.
Seating space is at a premium,
every foot being utilized. In
the primary grades the children
are wedged in like sardines.
The congestion is so great that
it is necessary to move some of
the classes from one room to
another for the recitations where
two recite at once, regardless of
the confusion.
Under such conditions it is
impossible to get the best re-
suits and the task Of the teacher
is much greater. But that is
not the worst feature of the
situation. The sanitary condi-
tion is below normal. With
such a congestion, breathing
space is at a much higher pre-
MUM than floor space. Many a
fond parent who is careful of
their darling's health at home
little realizes the hazard of the
dangers encountered at school
under such circumstances.
The school has outgrown it's
home and additional facilities
will have to be provided before
another school terms rollsarou
Other towns in the county
that already have better school
accommodations than Snowflake
are rebuilding.
Why should Snowflake linger
in the rear?
Now is the time to act.

HUNT ELECTION CONTEST IS
TEMPORARILY LAID TO REST

Monday afternoon, it was de-

Thomas E. Campbell by Geo. w.
P. Hunt for the governorship
was illegal and was thrown out
of the superior court of Mari
copa county by Judge Sanford.
Judge Sanford said in part
that it was time that the law
yers quit fishing, and ruled
that the whole contest had prac-
tically nothing to be based on,
as Thomas E. Campbell, the con-
testee and the new governor Of
Arizona by a plurality of thirty
six votes, had not been issued
a certificate of election and they
therefore could not contest his

Of all the men that walk the

BILE, we know of none that from
his birth has half our cause to
grumble. We get the SCOTS of
every class, from sucking babe
to mummy. They never let oc-
casion pass without calling us a
dummy. We have the common
shape of man; our wants and
needs are many, but do the very
best we can they hand us not
a penny.
Day in, day out, from morn
till night, we rack our fertile
brain, or run the press with all
our might till our body aches
with pain. What profit do we
get from this-this ceaseless toll
and grinding? You just go on
in perfect bliss, our wants and
needs not minding, till now our
waist is small in girt. our limbs
more bony growing, and our
small pay consists of dirt which
you are pleased at throwing.
Oh if some guy with manly
heart and wealth untold un-
need, would give to us a gen
erous part, your dirt would go
unheeded. We'd send our paper
to your homes; the parcel post
we'd settle; we'd never ask you
for those bones composed of sill
yer metal; but we, for love of
you and yours, for one year or
for many, would tell you how to
do your chores and never ask a
penny. But till that time, that
future day, all we can do is hol-
Ter for those who owe to come

The Snowflake Herald is advo-
eating the establishing of a
Navajo County Fair to be To-
Gated at Snowflake, a suggestion
that is at least worthy of con-
sideration by the board of su-
pervisors. The logical place for
such an institution would be the
thriving little burg in the south
part of the county, which is To-
Gated in the heart of the agri-
cultural region Of this county.
A county fair properly officered
by men honestly interested in
making it a success would be
beneficial to our people in many
ways, but to organize an asso-
citation with the idea and pur-
pose of making it graft for a
few individuals simply defeats
the ends to be attained.
