A SAFE TEST

For those who are in need OF remedy
for kidney troubles and backache, it is
a good plan to try Doan's Kidney Pills.
They are strongly recommended by W..
Sullivan people.
P. R. Bailey, w. Sullivan, Me-, says:
"My work as q teamster and handling
heavy timber has u tendency to affect my
kidneys and blame that for the spell Of
backache and disordered kidneys that |
had. / fell and struck horse rake when
/ was young and this, too, aggravated the
trouble. As q result, I suffered quite q
bit from kidney trouble. / kept getting
worse as grew older and finally decided
I had to do something to check the
disease. By chance. read OF Doan g
Kidney Pills being SO good and I got a
supply and began using them. 1t was no

ing the performances. Mr..

New Corporation Secretary.

There is a persistent rumor,

commission will be our Sam
Proctor, Navajo county's states
man, who is at present holding
down the job of chief clerk of

for the nomination for commits
sioner, but shortly before the
primaries, for some mysterious
reason, he withdrew from the
race and took up the fight for A.
A. Belts, who was nominated
and elected to that position. 1t
is altogether probable that the
sacrifice Sam made for party
prior to the primary is to be re-
warded with the plum of Sec
retary to the commission, which
has comfortable salary of
So, 400 attached to it with the

Basket Ball Game.

The Winslow basket ball team
returned from their playing trip
to Williams and Prescott with an
even break as to games being
defeated at Williams by a score
of Fl to IA, and defeating Pres
cott by score of 81 to 29. The
loss of the Williams game is
attributed to the limited playing
quarters, and the peculiar loca-
tion of the baskets, making it
difficult to throw a goal. At
Prescott the young people of
that city did everything possible
to make the stay of the visitors
pleasant. After the ball game
a dance was given in their honor.

School Troubles at Williams.

Because the principal of the
school at Williams chastised a
child whose parent happened to
be a member of the school board,
the board met last week and sum-
marily dismissed the principal.
There seems to be considerable
trouble in school matters in that
town, and to an outsider it looks
very much as though a general
house cleaning of the school Of
flcers is needed more than any
thing else. Only a few months
ago a member of the school board
was removed from office by the
other two members, and a suit
was fought in the courts over
the matter, and prior to the fir
ing of the present principal an
other principal was dismissed
for some trivial reason. Evi-
IDENTIFY for a teacher to hold his
job in Williams he must surrender
all his individuality of character,
and be led around by the nose
by the members of the school
board, and must not attempt to
discipline any of the children be-
longing to the school board.

Tin Can Alley.

If our city council want to do
something that will have a bene-
fetal result for the entire COM
munity they should establish an
official garbage dump, and stop
once for all the dumping of tin
cans and garbage on any conven-
lent vacant lot. Empty cans ly-
ing all about the town catch and
hold water in the rainy season,
make excellent breeding places
for mosquitoes, and the garbage
heaps make a fine breeding place
for flies. The city council should
act in conjunction with the coun-
ty health officer and establish a
joint territory within which it
would be unlawful to dump
garbage and refuse of any kind,
and establish a garbage dump at
a safe distance from the city
limits. The vacant land west
and north of town is literally
covered with empty cans and
refuse heaps, and the same con-
dition exists on the vacant land
on the south side east of the
Harvey House, a condition that
is a disgrace to the town. These
unsightly places if they are now
to be cleaned up, will have to be
done at the expense of the city,
but it would be useless to clean
up without first passing an ordi-
nance prohibiting the further
dumping of refuse at any place
except the official garbage dump.
Winslow is no longer an Indian
trading post but city, and it is
time the council insisted that the
streets and private property be
kept in a sanitary condition.
