Bids Winslow Goodbye.

The editor has a letter from B.
A. Rohles, who is now located at
Nanaimo, British Columbia, in
which he tells us that he is de-
lighted with his new location and
job, and has burned all bridges
behind him by sending his resig-
nation to the Santa Fe. Barney
is now superintendent of the
Western Fuel Co. railroad. He
sends his subscription for the
paper, and then kicks the editor
in the Stats by saying he has not
seen a republican since he saw
US last. If he keeps bis eye on
the states until after the next
presidential election he will be
surprised if he ever sees another
democrat.

Next Sunday, by proclamation
of the President and the Cover

day School day, and everybody
is urged to make a special effort
to be present at some Sunday
school of their choice, thus prov
ing their allegiance to the best

which surrounds the youth of
our state. With all the prepara-
tions being made for war against
the enemy, it is timely that we

institutions at home that go to

Missionary Club Outing.

The missionary club composed
of the children of St. Joseph's
held their first picnic at the ball
grounds last Friday, with a small
barbecue and a program of sports.
The program started at 1920 a.
m. with an address by the
directress, Mrs. C. j. Spellmire,
followed by the usual sports that
are always interesting to the
boys and girls, for which small
prizes were awarded the winners.
The barbacue was served by
Mesdames Hagen and Sweeney,
with a nice dinner of Mexican
"frigoles," sandwiches, fruit and
coffee. The closing feature of
the day was the foot ball game.

More Bootleggers.

Two bootleggers, with their
stock of goods. were taken from
car on a freight that arrived
here early Wednesday morning
as it was pulling into the yards.
A special officer from Gallu p was
on the train, knowing his prey
was hiding in a car ahead, and
Conductor Reynolds wired for an
officer to be on hand to arrest
the men. The prisoners were
taken in charge by Officer Gard
ner and given preliminary hear
ing by Judge Sampson, who
bound them over to the superior
court.

Heavy Loss in Sheep.

e. |. Houck lost $50 head of
sheep this week by being poison
ed, out Of one band of over 1000
head. The sheep have been on
the range near Heber all sum-
mer, and Mr.. Houck was driving
them to the dipping tanks of the
wyer-Otondo Co. The sheep
appeared to be all right until
they were stopped to water, and
almost Immediately it was ap-
parent the sheep had been
poisoned. In less than two DAYS
45O head were dead, and the
others in the flock show the ef-
fects of being poisoned. Mr..
Houck has had no disease among
his sheep, and he has a suspicion
the poison was. spread along the
trail he was driving to catch any
f1ocks travelling over it. That it
was not directly aimed at him is
apparent from the fact that no
one know he intended to move
MS sheep over that trial to dip
ping tanks. 1t is a heavy loss to
Mr.. Houck, as he has only got
fairly started in the sheep busi-
ness

Escape From County Jail.

Last Sunday evening four pris-
oners confined in the county jail,
charged with boot-legging, eff
fected their escape about $3.50
O'Clock Sunday night by remov-
ing the bricks in the outer wall
of the building. During the day
the prisoners are given liberty in
the corridor of the Jail, and Sun
day they were not locked in the
steel cells at the usual hour. 1t
is known that three of the men
came to Winslow on a freight
that night, as Deputy Gardner
picked up one of them, but the
other two eluded capture in the
dark. Three of the men are the
ones arrested the day previous
to the escape on a charge of SELL
ing liquor to the soldiers on the
reservation at Fort Apache. No
tice has been sent out all over
the state to watch for the pris-
oners, and their recapture IS on
ly a matter of few days.

Graders on a Strike.

The teamsters working on the
grade for the new railroad run
ming south out of Holbrook went
on a strike last week for an
eight hour day. The contractors
refused to grant their demands,
and some returned to work and
the others left to hunt jobs some
where else. More men were
brought in to take the place of
the men who left, and the work
is progressing as usual.

Soldier Boys.

Four trains loaded with SOL
diers who have been at Fort
Riley, Kan, passed through
Winslow early in the week for
Linda Vista, Calf, for winter
training. Three of the trains
carried the Arizona contingent,
and one train was loaded with
Colorado boys. Not all of the
Arizona boys have gone to Linda
Vista, and some of the Winslow
boys are still at Fort Riley, as
word has been received that Des.
Mahoney and Joe Carraway will
remain there. Mahoney is
sergeant in the quarter-master's
depart ment, Carraway has been
assigned to the heavy artillery,
and Kelly is with the mounted
police. Perhaps others of the
Winslow quota that have been
assigned to duty other than in
fantry will be kept at Fort Riley.

Go To Salt River Valley.

W. F. Goldsworthy, one of the

Will carry to their new home the

volunteer the information to
"Goldie" gained by valuable ex.
perience, that a limpid, meek
eyed heifer can kick a man four
times in the same place be-
fore he realizes it, and she will
look just as meek-eyed and sad
as though nothing had happened.
There are no emergency brakes
on cows hind leg, and even if
there was there would be no time
to operate it. Running a dairy
is no job for a fellow who is try

War and Thanksgiving.

There is a curious irony in
thanksgiving festivities while a
nation is at war; in almost every
home there will be at least one
empty chair but it is perhaps
just this situation which will
draw more closely together the
ties of family affection. Com
menting on this condition, a
writer in the November issue of
Good Housekeeping says: Let
US try, first of all, to collect a
big family. Find someone who
would otherwise have to sit down
to some lonely table. Economic
we must in every way conceiva-
BILE. 1t is possible, however, to
plan and execute our menu with
such cunning art that the econo-
mics will never be suspected. :"

Every item in the foregoing
may be prepared 'inexpensively
and after showing how, the
author even suggests economical
carving. To quote: when serv-
ing, carve slices and serve with
out the bones. What is left on
the platter may be used in SOUP"
In connection with this article,
a message, published in the same
issue, from Herbert Hoover, is of
genuine interest. The Thanks
giving dinner this year should be
festive, but not ornate. The day
should be one Of real Thanks
giving even for the mother who
prepares and serves the dinner
herself. Thanksgiving would
not be Thanksgiving without a
chicken or turkey or without
cranberries in some form. Pota-
toes and other vegetables there
should be. Corn-meal bread is
suggested as a reminder of our
country's need to save wheat.
Mince pie is omitted because that
means unnecessary use of meat.
Pumpkin pie is typically Amer
ican, reminiscent of the first
Thanksgiving day, and it has but
one crust, thus economizing in
wheat flour.
