Senator Underwood of Alabama is
not in accord with the Southland when
he actively and with dogged persist
ence champions the whiskey cause. He
will yet find himself the under-dog in
this national struggle and then the
people of the South will laugh at his
embarrassment.

Western horses are about one-third

cheaper than last year, notwithstand-
ing the fact that cotton has been al

Pledge Card Drive Opens.

Timothy A. Riordan, federal
food administrator is completing
arrangements for a pledge card
drive which will cover the entire

chance to sign up in the great
movement to save food. Fifty
thousand cards are being printed

placed in the hands of chairmen
of the council of defense of the
various counties, who will place
them in the schools. The boys
and girls of Arizona will thus be

conservation by taking these
cards to their homes for sig
nature and return to the princi-
pal of the school, the county
chairmen then gathering them
up and transmitting them to Mr..

ing membership in the movement
will be supplied all who sign the
cards.

mony with the day. The stores

Alleged Find of Fortune.

The tale comes from Chandler
that a cowboy named Joe Walsey
discovered a hidden fortune
amounting to nearly 100000 in
the hills of Graham cou2ty few
days ago. AS the story goes
Walsey was riding in search of
cattle along the Box X trail near
Solomonville when he came upon
a dead tree in the center of four
huge boulders, and noticed a
shovel handle sticking out from
the tree trunk. Being of an in
vestigating turn of mind he
began digging at the, roots of the
tree and came upon an iron
treasure box filled with old
Spanish coins and vessels of solid
gold. Metal experts have pro-
nounced the actual value of the
gold to be about $400, 900, al
though the intrinsic value of the
ancient vessels, which are said
to be works of art, make the find
even more valuable.
Old residents of that section of
Arizona say that Walsey has dis
covered the hiding place of the
Padres who were driven out .of
Mexico about seventy, five years
ago, when that part of the state
was a part of that country. 1t
has always been thought the
Padres buried the church wealth
before fleeing, and it is presumed
that this find is portion of it.

Special Train.

The second quota of men un-
der the selective draft will start
for Fort Riley this (Friday) morn
ing, and a special train will leave
Ashfork arriving here about nine
O'Clock, and it will remain one
hour for breakfast. The train
will carry the boys from Yavapai,
Mohave, Coconino, Navajo and
Apache counties. An extra car
will be picked up at Holbrook for
the Apache and Navajo contin-
gent of about 65 men.
During the hour the train is at
Winslow it might be well if our
citizens made a little patriotic ef-
fort to cheer the boys on their
way to duty. Let the people
turn out in force and extend the
hand of loyal American citizen
ship; get out the band to give a
concert of patriotic airs; get the
Red Cross ladies out and the
school children. 1t will do our
people good as we'll as the soldier
boys by quickening the spirit of
loyalty and patriotism. These
young soldiers in the making are
"our boys" of Arizona.

be a resident of Winslow barred
him out, and he is removing this
obstacle by opening an Office

Mr.. Carl Behn surprised his
friends last Saturday evening by
quietly marrying Miss Lena Hay,
and leaving Immediately on No.
Z on a short trip to the Grand
Canyon. 1t has been rumored
for several weeks that such an
event was being contemplated by
the interested parties, but no one
was taken into their confidence
as to the exact date. The mar
riage ceremony was pronounced
by Rev. ]. w. White of the Epis-
copal church. Mr.. Behn has
leased the C. M. Service house,
which they are now occupying.

School Notes.

! Prof. Porter started his class
IN military teaining at the high
school last Monday, with about
thirty boys enrolled in the class.
The last legislature made it man.
datory for high schools to give
such training. 1t is expectad
there will be about 40 boys in the
class.
! The south side school started
with heavy enrolment for this
early in the year. Miss White
enrolled so first graders; Miss
Salque IS in grade 2; Miss Stur-
geOn 80 in grades 3-4; and Miss
Christensen 80 in grades 5-6.
The 9TH and 9Th grades from the
south side are taught on the
north side for the time being,
as there are not enough of them
to Justify the employment of an
extra teacher.
Mr.. Edick has undertaken the
reorganization of the school band
which fell into period of de-
cline last year. About a dozen
boys Of the 9th grade have en-
rolled for the work as we'll as
considerable number from the
high school. It is to be hoped
we can have as good a band as
the one of 1915, when they fur
niShed the music for the week of
the Prescott fair.
Due to the large number en-
rolled in the Sd and 4th grades
in the Froebel school another
grade was organized the first of
the second week. Miss Marie
lngersoll was employed for the
new position.
The classes in domestic science
have organized for the year, and
are proceeding with community
canning as announced in the
Mail last week. Any citizen of
WinsloW having fruit or vegeta-
bles they want canned free can
arrange same by calling Miss
May Anderson, phone 10. 1t is
understood such goods will be
canned when all materials are
furnished, as the schools fur
nish nothing except the labor in
preparing and canning.
A junior Red Cross has been
organized at the high school and
work is proceeding in all classes
in sewing for the Winslow Red
Cross Chapter.
Football teams are out regular
ly every night. The material
looks light but it is fast. We
hope to be as good as last year.
All that we need to make it even
more successful would be a cou-
pie of victories against the state
normal at Flagstaff. Games are
scheduled with Phoenix, Pres
colt and Flagstaff.
Miss Beulah Chambers left for
Phoenix on account of her health.
She expects to be back in Win
slow after the holidays.
Miss Helen Wheeler, O. Phoe-
nix, arrived Monday to take up
the work left by the resignation
of Miss Bartlett.
Total enrolment at the end of
the first week was $50. By the
first of October the number will
be over 700, as the families on
the ranges are not back yet.

Soldiers Rights Bill.

Legislation to protect the civil
and property rights of soldiers.
IN effect a moratorium for the
duration of the war in behalf of
men serving their country, may
be placed upon the administra-
tons program for this session of
congress as a necessary element
OF the raising of a citizen army.
The soldiers and sailors civil
rights BILL" to carry out this
purpose, has been introduced in
both houses, having been framed
IN the office of Judge Advocate
General Crowder. Secretary
Baker, it was learned today, has
under consideration recommended
tlon that the entire weight of ad-
ministration influence be brought
to bear to obtain the early enact
ment.
10 save soldiers and sailors
from legal injustice during their
ab'ence from home, the measure
would enjoin the carrying out of
certain civil court actions until
after the close of the war and
establish as legal excuse for
failure to carry out certain con-
tracts the fact that man is in
the military service.
1t is proposed that creditors
suits against officers or men be
held up and judgment by default
denied, the trainers of the bill
recognizing that a man in the
army or navy would have no op-
portunity to make his defense in
person or to arrange for it's prop
er hearing through counsel.
IT such a judgment rested
against man at the time of his
enlistment the bill would prevent
it's execution through sale of his
property during his absence. 1t
would set aside the statute of
limitations SO that a debt owed
to soldier must not be outlawed
in his absence; prevent the evic-
tion of his family while he was
away it they failed to pay rent;
protect his equity in any real
estate or other purchase contract
in which he might have been
engaged at the time he went into
the army; protect him against
the ordinary results of defaulted
payments on business mortgages;
insure any rights he might have
to public lands. although his
service at the front had prevent
ed him from completing legal
acquisition of the property.
Another element of protection
the bill would accord the fighting
man would be as to his life in
surance, which could not lapse
through failure to make any pay
ment. His property also would
be protected from sale for taxes
and in every other way which
the legal experts of the war de-
partment have been able to devise
all civil rights and interests of
men in the military service will
be safeguarded.
