WOULD-BE ASSASSIN OF
PRESIDENT WANTS FREEDOM

BUENOs AIRES. Jan. 18.-Juan
Mandrini, believed to have tried to
assassinate Dr. victorino de la Plaza,
shortly before the latter's recent re-
tirement from the Argentine presi-
deuey, is trying to get out Of prison.
For mental observation he has been
committed indefinitely to prison
preventive
Mandrini contends that, as an an
arehist, he meant to flourish his pis-
toll TO attraet attention but that he
did not intend to fire it and would
not have done so if bystanders, in
selling him, had not made him pull
the trigger inyolnntarily. He denies
that he is insane. He has appealed
to the courts to release him.

Rate Interest.
The use of the borrowed money

The use OF the Borrowed money
is limited to the following purposes:
TO purchase land or additional
land: to pay off existing indebted
ness: to purchase livestock or to
make any productive improvements
such as clearing fences, drainage,
buildings and machinery.
The object of amortization is TO
enable a farmer to turn mortgage
/ irto an investment When he can
| borrow at less rate than it yields
| LIN he is able to pay off his in
debtedness out OF the profits of his
! investment. A long time loan en-
! abies him to use his money judi
ciously so that it viii contribute to
j increased value of his land and IS
/ Increased producing power,
Heretofore farmers have not been
/ able to borrow for long periods.
! This discouraged investment in live
stock and for many other purposes
! because the returns are slow. Short
! term loans made Spectator out
of farmer.
! So the Farm Loan Act in add
ton to providing way for the
/ farmer to borrow to the limit Of
safety, induces him to put his Dor
rowed money 10 productive uses and
nvol-iflac u WAY fnr him m get nut
of debt fro mthe profits of the in
yestment.
Thus the Farm Loan Act places
within reach of the farmer the
means to help himself and stimu-
lates his business initiative. The
long time loan with its small annu-
al payments puts a quietus on the
terror OF mortgage foreclosure,

News as is News.

1t takes a daily newspaper to
give the public the real news of
the day. The residents of Win
slow will be surprised to learn
that we had a cloudburst during
the storm of last Wednesday ev-
ening, and that the tracks at the
depot were under two feet of
water, and that the whole town
was inundated with several feet
of water, and people were wad-
ing waist deep in the streets
trying to reach their homes.
The vivid imagination of a daily
newspaper reporter has to have
full play, and there is no limit to
it's possibilities. Actual facts
have no place in his exhuberant
makeup. Less water fell during
the storm of Wednesday than
fell Sunday.
The Winslow mail., 1917-08-03
Almost News.

A daily newspaper must have
1t surprises and sensations, which
probably accounts for the follow
ing item in recent issue of the
Flagstaff daily:
Mrs. Jefferies, wife of the new
telephone proprietor, came to
Winslow Tuesday afternoon on
22, and will make her future
home here.
Except for the fact that the
new telephone managers name
is Jeffrey instead of Jefferies
and that he is the manager and
not the proprietor, and that he is
a single man, and knows nothing
about Mrs. Jefferies, the rest of
the news in the item seems to be
reliable.

OF Winslow's young men have

Eastman has joined the artillery

been accepted in the signal corps
at San Antonio, Temple Penrod
has enlisted in the hospital corps

the stand-pipe from it's old loca-

when it is known that the esti-
mated weight of the steel tank

tractors are not violating any Of

Bullet for Bootlegger.

Last week Sheriff Newman
learned that one Fred Edmonds,
who has as an occupation the
bootlegging of whisky from Gal
lup into Navajo county. was to
arrive in Holbrook on an early
morning freight train. Having
a general idea where the liquor
was to be delivered the sheriff
took an advantageous position
where he could watch proceed
ings, and about four o'clock was
rewarded by seeing his man put
a package in a small out building.
He was Immediately placed un-
der arrest, but7at an opportune
moment he broke away and
vaulted over a fence. Not desir-
ing to lose his prisoner the sheriff
took a shot at the fleeing legs
with good results, and with the
assistance of Deputy Harp land
ed the man in Jail. An exami-
nation of the wound showed it
was only a minor flesh wound
just below the knee. This is the
same man who has been making
whisky deliveries in Winslow to
certain dealers during the past
few months, but his chance for
a nice long rest in the peniten-
tiary will close his activities at
least temporarily.

Correction in Draft Numbers.

There were a few errors in the
published list of numbers in the
draft appearing in our last issue.
The list was compiled from the
numbers sent out by the associat-

with the master list sent out by
the government to the several
boards we find the following err
rors:
337, Limo Ramirez, should be
837, Feidio Lucero.
792, Leroy Eugene Gardner,
should be 797, James Aaron Reid
head.
392, Royal Edgar Burke, should
be 332, Frank Johnson Osborn.
772. Luther Davis Wallace,
should be II, Gregorio Gonzalez.
10. R. B. Amen, was omitted
entirely.

7774, number to large for this
county, and no one drafted.

Santa Fe, Perhaps.

According to the Holbrook
News the prospects Of having
the railroad built from Holbrook
south to the Snowflake country
now seems assured, as it is gen.
orally understood that the Santa
Fe railroad is behind the project
and will furnish the capital re-
quired for its construction. The
construction of this road which
will be about sixty miles long
will open the timber lands in the
White Mountains, where there
are thousands of acres of virgin
white pine forest. There is also
minerals in the mountains, and a
mining industry is likely to dev-
elope. The road will prove of
immense value to Snowflake,
which will be the trading center
for that whole south country,
but it's construction will prove
detrimental to Holbrook, because
that town will lose the large vol
ume of freighting business to
Fort Apache and the towns in
the south part of the county.
