Ramer Ranch Changes Hands

The Ramer ranch, located about
25 miles south of Heber, and
considered the best ranch in
northern Arizona, was sold this
week by H. j. Ramer to N. S.
Bly,, Frank Wallace and Emmett
Wallace. The purchase includes
1000 acres of decided land, all the
leases and forest rights and all
the live stock on the range, the
consideration running we'll into
six figures. Mr.. Ramer settled
in that section thirty years ago,
and has made his home there
ever since, but old age coming
on he decided to dispose of his
holdings and take life easy the
remainder of his days.
Mr.. Emmett Wallace takes up
his residence on the ranch, and
will have charge of the business.
He has had good instruction as a
rancher from his father all these
years, and will make a successful
manager.

Blue Monday for Kids.

The Winslow schools open next
Monday, and the boisterous kid
who has been accumulating a
fine assortment of freckles and a
coat of tan, will have to patiently
submit having his face scrubbed
by mother, his hair combed,
his clothes brushed and put on a
clean waist; and O, gee! take
away all a felIer's fun. It's
tough to be a kid and have to go
to school, but it will only be for
a few years, and then he can go
up against the bumps of the
world, when the kid that was
will be wishing he was a kid
again, and have mother digging
the dirt out of his ears and rub
bing soap in his eyes in her
earnest endeavor to make his
face shine like the bald head of
the preacher. The kid has one
satisfaction if he only could
realize it. His steacher hates to
get back in the school room Just
as bad as he does, and that is the
reason lot of them get married
every year so they can escape
the task.

Once more the mills of learn
ing glind, and fill with grist the
youthful mind. The boys and
girls have come from play, to
store a lot of facts away in
pigeonholes behind their ears,
where they'll be found in future
years. All patiently the teachers
teach the freckled boy, the fe-
male peach, expounding here the
A. B. C. explaining there the
rule of three. 1t is the noblest
work of all performed on this old
mundane ball, this showing kids
the path that leads to mighty
thoughts and noble deeds. We
all know that, and so we pay the
teachers 'leven bits day. We're
free with coin to statesmen chaps
who hold down divers kinds of
snaps; we hand them all the
wealth they want, and all they
give us in return is eloquence
and wind to burn. But hand out
decent, living pay to county
teachers? Aw, go way! 1t is

Off to Camp.

The first quota of soldiers from
Navajo county left Wednesday
to 60 into camp at Fort Riley,
Kan. There are only five men
in the first contingent-Ralph
Weber of Winslow, Dick Schus-
ter, Jake Padilla and Bob Eher-
enberg of Holbrook, and Fred
Baca of Heber. These young
men were selected from the list
because of previous military
training.
The second installment of men
will go forward to camp Sept. 10,

Last Saturday Ed. Swingle
decided to go to his ranch to see
how his bean crop was coming,
but before reaching there his car
broke down, and leaving it at
the side of the road he complet-
ed his journey on foot. The bean
crop was ready to harvest, and
he gave no thought to his broken
car at the roadside. Frank Drap-
err saw it there Monday night,
and when Swingle failed to show
up the following morning, Drap-
er and Neithammer started out
to see what was the trouble.
They trailed the missing man to
the ranch, where they found him
industriously harvesting his crop,
but sadly in need of tobacco. He
was surprised to learn that the
car standing at the roadside sew
eral days should create any un-
easiness that he had been de-
voured by mountain lions.

WAR WORK TO

EXTRA SESSION

WASHINGTON. April 20.-Demo-
Gratis OF the house in caucus late
Thursday night agreed TO consider
at the present extra session only
such war and general defense legis-
lation as may be recommended by
the president.
National prohibition. which is be-
ing urged by its advocates as a nee
essary war measure, may be in
Guided under this list, but unless
the president recommends it as a
war measure. it has no chance of
being taken up.
II also is possible that a rivers
and harbors bill embracing such
proposed improvements as are
deemed essential by the war de-
partment for the national defense
may be passed. The president has
indicated his willingness to approve
a measure under certain restric-
tions and the war department also
desires harbor improvements of a
limited character. The caucus re-
fused. by a vote Of II TO Il, to ap-
prove either a $33,00O.0O0 or a $751;
O0O,000 waterways bill, both OF
which were proposed by Chairman
Small of the rivers and harbors
committee. Many speakers declared
it would be suicidal politically TO
bring in a bill which might be made

present crisis.
