Notify the Officers.

When a peddler comes to the
door of house to try to sell
some article to the housewife on
the theory that the proceeds are
to go to the relief of the Belgians.
or the Red Cross, or any other
war benefit, it would be a good
plan to call up the police and
have the fellow investigated be-
fore letting go of your money.
Three individuals were working
this town a couple of DAYS last
week selling maps, claiming the
funds were for the benefit of
the Belgian children, and a num-
Der of our women paid their SOC,
not because they wanted the
map, but to aid the cause. The
officers located the peddlers, and
they produced paper bearing
the signature of some Wisconsin
state official, and the seal of
state, giving approval of what
they were doing. One thing is
certain, these people are not
travelling over the country paying
their own expenses, and if they
are paying their expenses out of
the proceeds of the sale of maps
there will be mighty little left to
go to the Belgians, even if they
are legitimate representatives.
To our mind it looks like a
very smooth piece of grating
under cover of raising funds for
the war sufferers. and unloading
a lot of worthless maps on an
unsuspecting and loyal class of
people. To be on the safe side
1T would be we'll if every house
wife ordered peddlers from their
doors, when they come trying to
sell something for the benefit of
the war. In every case investi-
cation will disclose they are
simply grafters. There will al
ways be some local organization
having such matters in charge
when funds are to be raised for
any war purpose whatsoever,
and strangers plying the game
should be reported to our local
police authorities promptly.

The Little Princess" I"

This charming, almost a fairy
tale, picture that will be run at
the Opera House Friday and Sat-
urday evenings, with a matinee
for the children Saturday after
noon, is taken from the story by
Frances Hodgson Burnett, and
will be particularly pleasing to
the children because it deals with
dolls, candy, presents of all kinds,
goodies to eat and Christmas
trees, and best of all the boarding
school for girls. The little maid
of-all-work finally comes to her
own. and from a slave to others
becomes little princess by in
herited wealth. The music at
the theatre is furnished by a five
piece orchestra.

Back from Frisco.

Trainmasters L. H. Shipley
and A. r. Woods, and Chief Dis
patcher Carl Trimble returned
last Saturday from San Fran
cisco, where they had been called
by the government to present
themselves for examination. The
officer in charge notified Mr..
Trimble they did not want train
dispatchers, so he can charge up
the cost of the trip to patriotism
because of inefficiency of the
bureau heads in putting out in
formation. The government
called for experienced railroad
men, including chief dispatchers,
and under this call Mr.. Trimble
was sent home. His application
showed he was a dispatcher, yet
he was summoned to appear in
San Francisco before the official
board, only to be notified his
service was not needed.
Trainmaster Shipley got away
not any better. They looked at
the gray hair that decorates his
Uranium, and evidently took the
view he ought to be Oslerized
instead of being sent to France
to run a railroad. The fact that
the Santa Fe has found him an
efficient official all these years
had no effect with the military
officers in charge.
Trainmaster Woods Jared

by, and be called into service as
soon as he can arrange his affairs
to get released from his work
here. Mr.. Woods had youth and
beauty to recommend him, as
we'll as a first class service card.

Liberty Loan Drive.

A large committee of business
men met with the city council
last Wednesday evening to devise
ways and means to reach all our
people to get them interested in
purchasing Liberty bonds of this
third issue. After considerable
discussion, a committee composed
of C. H. McKellips and M. L.
Vaughan was appointed to ar
range for a street parade next
Tuesday, and another committee
composed of w. j. Crozier and T.
Niethammer was appointed to
district the town and select a
working committee of three for
each district.
1t was decided when the drive
started to have a bulletin and
place thereon the name of every
purchaser of a bond as soon as
purchase was made, and the
same to be published weekly in
the Winslow Mail. The amount
that has been apportioned to
Winslow is S72, 900, which of it.

Col. Vaughan, of the Winslow

received a Liberty rug, which is
now on exhibition, which is a
work of the weaver's art. The

Mail Ship Sunk.

The governmen has given out
the information that a ship re-
turning to this country from
France, carrying 5000 sacks of
mail from the soldier boys, was
sunk about Jan. 21st by a sub
marine. If friends and relatives
Of the boys overseas have been
uneasy because they have not

the letters they were looking for
were on this ship. 1t takes some
time to get mail from France
these days, and letters will not
be very frequent at best.

Feeding the Animals" +"

In the good old days Of conven-
tions for political parties, before
the advent of the modern day
primary that was supposed to
purify politics, it was an accepted
practice among the politicians,
big and little, to interest some
fellow with a good fat bank ac-
count to enter the campaign for
governor; and he felt so proud of
the distinction of having his
name connected with such high
office that he spread his money
literally over the state among
the boys with a lavish hand, be-
cause they all appeared to be for
him. The nearer the day ap-
preached for the convention the
more money he spent, because
to his distorted vision it looked
as though he was going to be the
unanimous choice, and everybody
patted him on the back as the
coming man. But he was simply
feeding the animals. +" When
the convention was over he was
in the class of the also ranS,"
and the boys comforted him with
the explanations as to how it all
happened. When the next cam
paign approached another victim
was selected. There can always
be found a man with money who
is willing to let loose of it to
grease the wheels of the party
if he can be convinced that the
boys will all be for him.
Now with the perfection of the
primary system the sport is evil
IDENTIFY being revived, and in
Arizona this year the goat is
Fred T. Golfer, of Apache county.
Fred is a good fellow, with a fine
rating in Bradstreet, and a liberal
generosity that is almost a sin.
The boys have convinced him he
would make a winning race for
governor if he could only put
enough cash in circulation to
perfect his organization; and
spending money is the easiest
thing in the world for Fred, and
no one knows this better than
the fellows who are getting his
money to assist him in perfecting
the organization. They know
Fred will not win in the race,
but they need the money, the
animals must be fec" and
Fred is the best little feeder that
mas appeared IN many a day.
The primaries will be over in
August, and the patriots who
have been drawing sustenance
from the Golfer ranch dividends
all these months will be busy ex-
planning how the people just
stampeded to the successful can
didate in spite of all their efforts.
But Fred will be good loser.
He will be a lot wiser, and the
dent in his bank account will
soon be rounded out as plump as
ever, and it will never be dented
again in the same way.

Japanese Heed the Call.

The Winslow Japanese colony,
most of whom are in the employ
of the Santa Fe railroad, have
heard the call of Uncle Sam"
for his people to purchase war
stamps, and Monday afternoon
Mr.. E. T. Matthews, chief clerk
for Master Mechanic Hitchcock,
took their subscriptions for near
ly $500. These Japanese have
been generous contributors to
every move made since the war
began, enlisting in the Red Cross,
donating to all subscriptions for
funds, and taking bonds on the
two previous Liberty Loans, and
now are preparing to do their
share in subscribing for the third
Liberty Loan.
Mr.. Matthews has been a most
successful salesman for war
stamps, his total sales for the
week amounting to nearly $500.
