Back on Old Job.

We are glad to record that our
old friend W. F. Goldsworthy,
who recently removed to the Salt
River valley to go into the dairy
business, has sold out and will
return to Winslow with his fam
lily, taking back his old job as an
engineer on the Santa Fe. Mr.,
Goldsworthy arrived here Mon
day, and the family will follow
in a few weeks. The Adamson
law don't apply to the dairy bus
mess, and no grievance commit
tee can ever adjust a difference
with a refractory heifer who in
sists on playing tattoo with her
hind foot on the posterior of the
engineer who is trying to ex-
tract the lactael fluid; and then
again the family pinned for the
old friends of years, and no place
seems like home but Winslow.

High School Play.

A full house greeted the young
Thespian artists Of the high
school last Saturday night when
they presented their comedy
Aaron Boggs," and the audi
ence felt well repaid as the com
edy was unfolded in the delight
ful acts. All the performers
carried their parts we'll and ac-
Quilted themselves with credit
far above the average amateur
actors, and this was particularly
true with Louise Chase in her
character of Elizabeth Madelia
Feeney, the biscuit shooter at
Mrs. Chubb's boarding house,
and Olivia Cunningham as Mrs.
Pickens, the testy waspish land
lady at a rival boarding house.
The play, given for the benefit
of the high school athletic asso-
citation, netted a handsome sum,
which is another element that
marked the performance as a
grand success.

Not a German Bomb.

Last Sunday afternoon the
usual peace and quiet of the city
was disturbed by an explosion,
and coming so soon after all the
excitement in Los Angeles about
a mysterious bomb being dropped
from an enemy air-plane, there
was suspicion that Winslow
was being invaded by the German
Zeppelins. Investigation, how
ever, disclosed that small blaze
had started in the rear of the
Old Trails garage, and a can of
gasoline had exploded, sending a
huge column of smoke toward
the sky. The flames were quickly
subdued with only a small loss.

Another Pioneer Gone.

This community was shocked
and grieved last Friday morning
when the news was given out
that Mr.. Chas. L. Finn, one of
the earliest residents of Win
slow, had suddenly passed away.
Mr.. Finn had been about his
place Of business as usual Thurs
day morning, but about noon he
was taken with a sudden sinking
spell. A physician was called at
once, and he was removed to his
home, where he soon rallied but
was still weak. About 10 o. m.
he suggested to friends who were
with him that he thought he
could rest easier if he turned
over, but he expired before low
ing hands could grant his last
request.
Funeral services were conduct
ed from the Episcopal church
Friday evening at 8 p. M, and
the remains were shipped to AL
buquerqe for burial by the side
of his wife, who had preceded
him several years.
Mr.. Finn came to Winslow
about thirty-fve years ago as an
engineer for the Santa Fe rail
road, later retiring to enter pri-
vate business, in which pursuit
he accumulated quite a liberal
holding of real estate in this city
and San Diego. He was quiet
companionable man, and had a
smile and pleasant word for
all. There were no children,
but he leaves a number of broth
ers and sisters, who are living in
various parts of the country.

Marguerite Clark hurried her
''Sub-Deb" scenes in "Bab's
Diary" which is the first of
several Mary Roberts Rinehart
stories Miss Clark will make for
Paramount photoplays and which
will be shown Sunday at a matt
nee and evening performance at
the Opera House, so as to arrive
at one bit of business which she
particularly fancied during the
heat wave which was sweeping
the country at that time. In
hiding from her pursuers, Bah,
fully clothed, took refuge in a
bath tub full of very cold water.
j. Searle Dawley, director for
Marguerite Clark, remarked that
the enthusiasm with which the
star performed this stunt was
truly remarkable as, in doing it,
she ruined one of the most at
tractive gowns of her expensive
wardrobe. The star, however,
declared it was worth it.

Wreck Delays Traffic.

A Santa Fe freight train was
wrecked near Manuelita last Sun
day ssevening by broken rail,
and thirty cars were put in the
ditch, delaying trains for twenty
four hours. The train was in
charge of Engineer Louis Hahn
and Conductor Dickinson, and
fortunately none of the crew
were injured. The wrecker was
hastened to the scene of the
wreck to clear the tracks, and
No. 10 was brought back to Win
slow, and all the other east bound
passenger trains were held here
until Monday night. One train
was a special troop train carry
ing 900 soldiers bound for some
eastern port, and they were Civ
en- the liberty of the town during
their enforced stay. The two
moving picture houses threw open
their places Immediately after
dinner and gave free continuous
performances until 5 p. m. when
the soldiers were called for de-
Darturo.

A Bum Slueth.

Last week a stranger dropped
into the Kelly pool hall and tried
to find an obscure corner to seek
a few moments rest, but if he
had known the proprietor was the
original "Hack-saw, the Detec-
tive he probably would have
hunted another location. When
Kelly's eagle eye lighted on those
curly locks and Charlie Chaplin
moustache he knew it was dis
guise, and the fellow could feel
he was under suspicion. He
soon slipped away. and Kelly got
the officers busy to locate him,
and took a hand in the job him
self. In a short time Kelly dis
covered his man in one of the
hotels, sans his wig and NOUS
tache, when he admitted to the
officers that he was wearing the
disguise to shadow his wife who
had recently come to town, so he
could get some evidence for a di-
vorce. Then an anticipated SEN
sation of a German spy faded in
to thin air.

War Saving Certificates.

The campaign is on to interest
The public in buying thrift stamps

as a temporary expedient but as
permanent saving plan that

purchased for twenty-five cents
each, and when sixteen have
been bought they can be ex-
changed for war saving certif-

to get started in the game. The

Credit ON Next Draft.

Col. Fred Breen has received
word from the provost marshal's

all those who have volunteered
in the army since the first draft
was made, so that proper allow

next draft, but it will probably
not be made before February or
March.
While the provost marshal's
office is preparing the apportion-
ment for the second draft, it

TRY 1T! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CAI0MEL
STARTS YOUR LIVER WITHOUT MAX
ING YOU SICK ANDCAN NOT
SALIVATE.

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has
noticed great falling-off in the sale
of calomel. They all give the same
reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is
taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs so
cents, and if it fails to give easy re-
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation: you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipat-
ed bowels. It doesn't grippe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dose of
calomel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
of vigor and am bition. adv.
