ESTABLISHING MAIL ROUTES.

Postmaster Daze has received mo- tices from the Postoffice Department advertising for bids to carry mail from Winslow to Oraibi, Toreva, Polacca and Keams Canyon by auto stage, the bids to be in the hands of the gov ernment at Washington not later than Dec. 22nd. Heretofore these towns have been served by mail route out of Gallup, and for a number of years efforts have been made to have the route changed to run from Winslow. Owing to the great dis tance to be travelled with the route out of Gallup, these towns were only given semi-weekly mail service, but now the government is advertising for tri-weekly service to these inland town, which will be much appreciated by the people in the northern part of the county.-Winslow Mail.

A BOY GARDNER.

Harry Miller, a member of the Ex- tension Service Garden Club, has se- cured a return of $114.20 from one twenty-second part of an acre of veg etables, and he still has many dollars worth in his garden lot. Harry is an excellent gardener. He assists his father, who is also market gardener, and knows how to get much from an acre of land. MT.

COTTON IN YUMA COUNTY.

The Commercial Company gin at Somerton up to last Saturday has ginned 2,415 bales, at Gadsden 672 bales. It is likely that. 4OOO bales have so far been ginned by all the plants in the valley so far, or little more than half the crop. The total value of the crop, together with the long staple and the seed from both, will be near a million and half dol lars. The ranchers of the valley are doing exceedingly we'll this year.

BURGLARY AT ST. JOSEPH.

Wednesday night the St. Joseph Mercantile Store, owned by Richards Bros. at St. Joseph, 12 miles west of Holbrook, was burglarized. Entrance was gained by the use of skeleton keys. The safe was blown open with nitroglycerine and about $50 in money was taken. Some jewelry, Indian bracelets and cutlery was taken. The loss in money and merchandise amounts to about $200.
 The burglary was probably done by professionals, and Sheriff Newman is working on that theory. As yet he has made no arrests.-Holbrook News

YOUNG WAR BRIDE
 CALLED BY DEATH

Mrs. Claude Nicoll passed away
 last Sunday morning at 6 o'clock at
 the residence of her husbands mother,
 Mrs. Grace Nicoll at Mesa, Arizona,
 of double pneumonia. The passing
 away of the young bride was peculi-
 arily sad, in that she was the bride
 of but few weeks, having been mar
 ried only three days before her hus-
 band left with the last contingent, for Camp Funston. Everything possible was done for the sufferer, Dr. E. Payne Palmer, of Phoenix, with Drs. Nelson and Freestone, all being in at- tendance, but to no avail. Mrs. Mic oil was before her marriage, Miss Roberts Louise Leonard. Her home was in Washington, but she was en- ployed at Williams, in the office of Babbitt-P Poison Company, when she met Claude Nicoll, then in the employ of the Standard Oil Company at Flag staff. The acquaintance soon ripen- ed into love, the pretty romance cul- minating in a wedding, the joy of which was tinged with sadness, over the fact that the husband was so soon to leave for the war. Just entering into the beauty of young womanhood, for she was but IS years of age, the girl-wife was preparing to face the coming days with all the fortitude of a soldiers bride, when the dread di- sease claimed it's victim. MT. Nicoll, stationed now at Camp Kearney, was notified of her serious illness and will arrive in Mesa this morning. He was enroute when the death occurred and is as yet unaware of the sad finality of his life's young dream of happi- ness. The funeral services will be held today at o'clock in the Second Ward Chapel.-Arizona Republican.

SLACKER IS SOAKED
 WITH HEAVY SENTENCE

In pleading not guilty to an in-
 dictment returned against him at San
 Bernardino, Cal, for evading mili-
 tary duty, J. Gordon Wilson was
 tried and convicted of not registering,
 and given a sentence of year and a day in a Federal prison.
 . This news is of local interest, Will son being quite we'll known in this section during the crusade last Spring against the bootlegger when he was reported to be with coast detective agency. In the trial given him in the above city the evidence showed that he was still following his favor ite pursuit, and he dwelt on the inn portance of his detective work to so- ciety by stating that he was so stren- uously occupied in hunting down "blind pigs" in San Bernardino coun- ty that he forgot to register for mili- tary service. He said he was sorry, and so did the committing magis- trate, but gave him the maximum sentence, due confessed stacker. He was willing to get in line, after the sentence was pronounced, but the in vitation was not accepted, and he will serve the time limit with other slack CTS from that section, there being five others in his class.-Prescott Journal Miner.

NEEDLES BREAD PRICE DROPS.

The price of bread took another tumble this week, when Manager Gu sick of the Bee Baking company an- nounced that the new price of 12 loaves for one dollar would be the rule at his establishment from now on.

WITHOUT ALEXANDER
PILLS ARE HELPLESS

Philadelphia, March 1o-Grover CIevc-
land Alexander recently broke into the
charmed circles of hlgh-salaried baseball
stars. His contract, which calls for S12,-
500 for pitching ball with the Phillies,
places him alongside OF Walter John
son and other stellar performers. and
the position he holds justihes the in
crease he will receive from PhiladeI-
phia.
Alexander Is a wonderful pitcher. by
far the best in the National League.
and he is a willing worker. Last sea-
son he extended himself by going to
the mound on many occasions out Of
his turn, and he SEE an enviable mark
for rival hurlers to shoot at when he
pitched and won two games in one ar-
ternoon for Pat Moran.
Much depends on Alexander, this year,
from Philly standpoint. I'm the NationaI
League race. If he retains his effective
ness there is little doubt that Pat Moran s
lads will figure in the race for the pen
nant. His demands on the Phils in the
matter of salary prove that he has a
world OF confidence in himself. and hfs
contract calls for a bonus of $1,000 IL

JOKER BELIEVED In
NEW TENNIS RULE

There is a little Joker in the new anna
teur rule adopted by the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association. and
the players who have studied the rule
are wondering II the solons put one over.
1t is the belief that the new rule can
be made to operate against players who
engage in the sporting goods business
after all. The joker. 1t is pointed out.
is included in the section Of the rule
which conters judicial powers on the
executive committee. 1t is the tribunal
which is empowered to apply the laws
to each individual case. This was not
clearly stated in the old rule and 1t is
believed that the executive committee
now has the power to make Offending
players toe the line II 1t SO desires. 1.-TWO
principles embodied in the rule, which
may offer loopholes for drastic action
against players. are:
No player shall deliberately capitalize
his reputation"
"All team or exhibition matches where
gate receipts are charged shall be under
strict supervision of the executive COM
mittee.'

INFIELD WILL prove
JONES' Chief WORRY
While St. Louis Manager Is Confident.
He Will Make no Predictions.

New York, March 10.-Fielder Jones
has a lot of confidence in his st. Louis
Brownies and although, like most man
ayers, he has declined to make predic-
tions for them this year. he has bright
hopes of leading them into a hot finish
fight for position in the American
League race.
Last year the mad rush of the
Browns which lifted them into fourth
place set the Mound City a6re. st. Louis
fans were wild while the Browns were
on their rampage. and the fighting spirit
that enabled them to battle their way
into the first division; and finally finish
a good fifth, but six points behind the
Yankees, has not been forgotten.
Baseball men in general are united in
the belief that the American League race
this year will be as hot as 1t was in 1916,
and the Browns are going to find plenty
OF opposition in their fight for a first d.
vision finish. That they cap win the
pennant is doubtful, figuring on the class
of the White Sox, Tigers, Red Sox and
Yankees. but they have a chance, and
II Is always good to remember that
stranger things have happened.
The problem Fielder Jones will probably
spend the most time in trying to solve
this spring will be with his infield. He
has recruited new talent to bolster the
Browns inner circle. and IL one of three
players comes up to expectations the
strength of Jones's club will be greatly
increased.
The Browns look good. and they
should force other clubs to hit a fast
gait when the race settles down to a
steady grind.

Believes Gridiron Game
Develops Self-Reliance

Purdue University undergrad, now
in his third year as an engineering stu
dent, has a high regard for the beneficial
inf1uenc of football.
He says: ANY son of mine will learn
to hit the dirt, run with the ball. tackle
and dodge, use his head in football emer-
gencies, along with hisN alphabet. 1 wish
l had. I would be able to play better
football and know I could be a better
engineer.
While I say these things apply to the
work of civil, mechanical. chemical, or
electrical engineer, I believe they are
timely for the embryo doctor, lawyer,
minister or any student who is prepping
for a professional career of any sort.
Football teaches you that you are just as
good as the fellow facing you in the line,
Just as good as the tackler waiting for
you II you are carrying the ball-and 1t
teaches you that you are a little bit bet
ter
II you are the other fellows size and
weight, football tells you that you are
better than he is. II you are smaller,
football tells you your brain works bet
ter. 1t gives confidence, takes that
pussyfoot tendency out of you, and makes
you self-reIiant
I'm for the game on the bench or on
the varsity. There Is just as much bene-
fit to the character Of the second team
scrub as there is to the captain of the
team in this American college game, for
the yellow streak will come out there
more quickly than on the first line"
