Oddfellows have A Smoker.

Last Friday evening the mem
bers of the local lodge Of |. O. 0.
F. enjoyed a unique smoker.
An elaborate program of music
and speeches had been prepared,
and the closing number was a
prize fight. The printed pro-
gram for the evening was inter-
spersed with the comforting
words Of an intermisslon for
everybody to smoke. A number
of invited guests were present to
participate in the evenings en-
tertainment.

Liberty Loan Bonds.

With the close of business to-
morrow the last opportunity tC
buy a Liberty loan of this second
issue expires. Divorcing the
whcle question of any patriotic
sentiment whatever, and viewing
the purchase of the bonds in the
light of a cold shrewd business
investment there is nothing in
the investment market to- day as
good or nearly so safe as these
Liberty bonds. The only chance
that they will not be redeemed
is that the government of the
United States will perish from
the earth, and this sentiment is
not held even by the most pes
simistic. These bonds are not
taxable, and drew four per cent
semi annual interest. Railroad
or industrial bonds drawing six
or even seven per cent are not
to be compared with the Liberty
bond as an investment, because
there is an element of risk at
tending them and the Increased
interest is necessary to pay the
taxes charged against them.
The Liberty bond can be bought
on the installment plan from
either of our local banks, and the
bond will be delivered upon max
ing your final payment, thus af-
fording you the very best savings
account. Your last chance to
buy a bond fad es Saturday at
noon when the banks close, so
you have no time to lose if you
are contemplating a purchase.
Our local bankers, who devot-
ed Wednesday afternoon to a
final drive on the Liberty bonds,
report great success in the work,
but the time was too short to see
all the people. They hope, how
ever, the good work done will be
the means of enlisting everybody
to do their bit.

Central Accounting Office.

Under a recent order of the
postoffice department the Win
slow postoffice is made the ac-
counting office for all the other
offices in the county. This office
will be the supply station to fur
nish other postmasters with their
stamps and other supplies. 1t
means considerable added duties
and responsibilities on the shoul-
ders of Postmaster Daze. and
will certainly require more office
help than is now being furnish
ed by the department.

Accidental Killing.

Last Monday afternoon a negro
soldier located at Ft. Apache,
accidentally shot and killed a
man named Matthew Howell, an
itenerant jewelry salesman, near
the Cooley ranch. Mr.. Howell
lived about twenty-four hours af-
ter the shooting, and made a
statement to the officers exoner-
ating the negro. The negro was
examining the gun when it ex-
ploded with fatal results.

Will Pass Through Winslow.

Word has been received at the
Office Of Supt. Tuttle that the
Arizona contingent Of soldiers
now in camp at Fort Riley will
be transferred this week to Linda
Vista, Calf. There will be four
trains, the first leaving Fort
Riley on the 25th, and one each
succeeding day. At this writ
ing it is not known definitely the
hour at which they will reach
this point, but the first train will
probably reach here some time
Saturday evening, or early Sun
day morning, depending on the
time the trian is turned over to
the Santa Fe by the Union Paci-
fc at Denver. This will be good
news to all our people, and espec-
tally to the families who have
boys enlisted in the service. 1t
will not require any urgent invi-
tation to get the people out on
these dates to greet the soldiers,
and the time of their stay will
be only too short. Saturday af-
ternoon the exact hour of the ar
rival of the first train will be
known at the superintendent's
office.

Protest on Flagstaff Game.
(Communicated.)

Communicated
In the six years since the Win.
slow high began to compete ir
lnter-school athletics the high
school management has always
accepted defeat without offering
either excuse or explanation un-
til the game last Saturday at
Flagstaff. Notorious throughout
the state as Flagstaff is for un-
fair officials, we believe the limit
was reached last Saturday.
Whenever Flagstaff had the
ball in the second half of the
game, and seemed liable not to
make their downs, Umpire Ford
came to their rescue with a pen
atty on Winslow. Whenever
Winslow seemed to be gaining
too rapidly penalty of from five
to fifteen yards set them back.
In the second half of the game
Winslow high was penalized elev-
en- times for eighty yards, which
fact alone won the game for the
sportsman-like (?) Thorpe and
his crew. Not one penalty was
inflicted on Flagstaff during the
game, Notwithstanding the off,
cials admitted they were slug
ging on every down. To cap the
unfair play big farmer, thirty
years old, who told the local boys
he just came to town on load
of hay, and was not even enroll
ed at the normal, was stuffed in
to a suit between halves, and
helped the normal players and
the three officials win the game.
The profuse apologies made by
the three officials for their un-
fairness, as well as the acknowl-
edgement by the normal players
that they would have lost but for
the unfair action of the officials
bears out these statements.
The Flagstaff coach spent the
fifteen minutes between halves
in closed conversation with the
three officials. The unfairness
resulted afterward, the score at
the end of the first half standing
IA to 3 in favor of Winslow. It
is our candid belief that Umpire
Ford was the poorest sportsman
ever seen as an official. He con-
stantly praised his Flagstaff team
on the field, patted them on the
back for good plays, coached
them how to play, warned them
OF trick plays, and generally con-
Quoted himself as a member of
the team, which he really was.
Hearth, Hubbard, Eastman,
Erickson and Nelson played
star game for the local team.
The other boys all did their bit
in workmanlike manner. Out
weighed eight pounds to the
man, our boys outplayed their
opponents with the exception of
Umpire Ford, who was invinci-
BILE with his whistle.
We play the normal in Win
slow Nov. Sd, and we promise
the public fair, impartial officials
and the Flag team that they will
be treated as we would like to
have been treated. The men,
bers of the actual normal team
are good sportmen and likeable
boys; we are for them. AS to
Ford and his sponsor Thorpe
we'll, Twin or bust, but win by
any means" was their motto.

Picks Off Some Prizes.

The display of vegetable made
by Harry Perkins at the North.
ern Arizona Fair held in Pres.
cott last week, won for him sew.
eral prizes, and calls for the fol-
lowing special mention in the
Arizona Gazette: The exhibit
OF one man, Harry Perkins, a
fireman on the Santa Fe in Win
slow, pleased Gov. Campbell in
particular. Perkins had in his
exhibit twelve varieties of vege-
tables that he had grown, taking
care of them during his spare
hours after work. The vegeta-
bles were fine exhibits, their
quality netting him five or six
prizes. Added to this he receiv-
ed the first prize for the exhibi-
tor having the largest variety.
AS an indication of the impress
sion the mans exhibit made on
him the governor is writing Per-
kins personal letter of congrat-
ulation and appreciation. The
point the governor is making is
that the exhibit demonstrates
what man can do with his own
garden.
The Winstow Mail does not
want to pluck any Iaurels from
the brow of Mr.. Perkins, but we
are wondering if Gov. Campbell
knows there is a mighty ener-
getic Mrs. Perkins in that family
who is not a novice at garden
ing. Say, Governor, if you ever
win a prize on a garden we would
give praise where the praise was
due.
DR.. j. L. Pritchard has just re-
turned from the Grand Canyon
where he attended the South
western Conference for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. The
states represented were Arizona,
California, Nebraska, Colorado,
Kansas, Texas, New Mexico and
Oklahoma. Problems of far
reaching Importance to the well
fare of Arizona were discussed.
DR.. P. K. Brown, of San Fran
cisco, read a most valuable paper
on the Migratory Consumptive,
a problem which always con-
fronts us with alarming danger,
but more especially now with the
approach of winter.
Figures from the War Depart
ment showing that the draft has
brought out the unsupported and
regretable fact that there is in the
U. S. 200, 900 of our young men
between the ages of Fl and 81
who are affected with tubercu-
losis, and that $4,000 of these
are living in these south western
states, Arizona having the great
est number per capita.
Contrasted with these figures
is the lamentable fact that there
are practically no public hospital
beds outside the state of Cali
fornia, and that nurses, dispen-
saries, and other provisions for
the care of these men are lack
ing.
Furthermore we will soon be
confronted with another prob
lem, the returning soldier who
breaks down under the strain of
trench fighting. An idea of
what we may expect can be bas-
ed upon the fact that over $780,
900 French soldiers have develop
ed tuberculosis since theSwar be-
gan.
