UNNECESSARY WASTE IS SEEN
When Corn Is About Four Weeks Old
Some Farmers Lose Much of Crop
by Cutting Roots.

Some farmers are guilty of unneces-

seedbed for corn and pulverizing II
well they think i best to cultivate the
small corn the first time with shovel
pillow and let the moisture from the
depth escape. Second, when the corn Is
four weeks old or more some of them
still persist in using a shovel pillow, dig
ging into the radical roots of the grow
ing corn and thus wasting from to
40 per cent of the yield Of corn by
lacerating the root system, more or less.
There is gain first, last and all the
time to the farmer who employs only
modern surface cultivation.

TRAIN SERVICE
OVER P. & 4. DIN.

First trains over the P. & A. di-
vision of the L. & N. were operated
out of Pensacola last night, via Flom-

large number Of passengers who
had been waiting in the city for re-
sumption of service over lines to the
East took advantage of the opportuni-

Railroad officials announced last
night that the detour was decided
upon when it was discovered that it
would be some time before regular
service could be resumed, owing to

1t is further announced that the
service will be operated continuously
until connection is made over the reg

SMACK ARRIVES
FROM PORT ST. JOE

According to members of the crew
of the schooner "Virginia' of the
Saunders Fish Company fleet, very
little damage was done by the storm
at Port st. Joe, where the vessel
weathered the gale in safety. The
boat also reporte that the Fish Hawk,
of the same fleet had been moored at
Port st. Joe during the gale, and had
suffered no damage.
This report, and advices from New

had been less than at first thought.

School Trustee Elected.

Last Saturday was an election
day, but only about fifteen per
cent of the voters took any parti-
cular interest in it, as the total
vote cast was only a few over
100, and these voted more from
habit and because the law says
somebody has to vote to elect
candidate. Mrs. Keyes was the
outgoing member of the board,
but she has made such an excel
ent member there was no opposi-
tion to her reelection. AS we
have remarked on several oc-
casions, Winslow has reason to
feel proud of her school board,
and we doubt if a better can be
found in the state. The schools
of this city under their admins
tration, take first rank with the
best schools in the state, and
they are SO classified by the gov
ernment representatives who last
year made a survey of the schools
of Arizona. Mrs. Keyes, and
her associate, Mrs. Gillard, were
both teachers for a number of
years, and Mr.. Niethammer, the
third member, is practical and
successful business man. and
with such a combination it is not
surprising our schools are main
tanned at a high standard.

For the past two Sundays the

right and privilege to theoreti-
cally apply the paddle of disci-
pline whenever in their judg-
ment we need it. They live
among us as part of the big fam
lily, as friends and neighbors,
pay taxes, and are interested in
the welfare of the community.
The fellow we are after is the
Inherent psalm-sipging, pente-
costal CRATER, who pollutes the
purity and sanctity of the Chris
tian religion with his putrid SEN
sationalism for pelf. His Wilt
flying tongue destroys the faith
of mankind in the sweet and
simple story of the babe in the
manger at Bethlehem, and makes
a mockery of the dark and holy
hour in the garden at Gethseme

for rest. We challenge our local
ministers to get the facts from
the Albuquerque ministers, and
read the replies from their pull
pits. The Winslow Mail hest
tates to publish the facts be-
cause it is a home newspaper.

Miraculous Escape.

Last Sunday morning passen-
ger train No. 2 was put in the
ditch by a broken rail about half
a mile. east of Flagstaff. The
engine, in charge of W.,F. Colds
worthy, and two baggage cars
passed over in safety, but the
next five cars in the train, =
baggage car, mail car, smoker,
chair car and a tourist sleeper
were derailed and turned partly
over. No one was injured, al
though the passengers were bad
ly shook up by being rolled out
of their seats. The train was in
charge of Conductor E. T. Fan
ming. and the fortunate escape
from any serious results was
probably due to the fact that the
train had not yet attained any
great speed after leaving Flag
staff.
