VIII Again Be Candidate.

The friends of r. L. Newman
have finally pursuaded him that
he should again be a candidate
for sheriff of Navajo county, and
in view of the fact that he is a
member of the local draft board,
the duties of which he will have
to perform even though he was
not in office, has been another
element that entered into a
change of his decision made early
in the spring. The Winslow Mail
is glad to make this announce
ment, because it considers Mr..
Newman an ideal officer, who has
faithfully and conscientiously
performed his duties without
fear or favor. He has waged
relentless warfare on the boot
leggers. and has won a state wide
reputation as terror to evil
doors. He is just the kind of
man this county needs for a few
years to clear the county of the
criminal element.

Store Burglarized.

Last Sunday night the drug
store of A. E. Gillard was burg
larized, the thief gaining admis-
sion by removing a glass from
the back door and reaching his
arm through the opening turned
the key. The plunder secured
was about $50 in cash, a watch,
a flashlight and a pipe. Officer

officers at Holbrook and Flag
staff to watch the trains for a
young man whom he had seen on
the streets early the previous

Quiet Home Wedding.

Last Monday evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Ramage a wedding ceremony was
performed by Rev. w. B. Cole
uniting in marriage DR.. Gelert
Ramage and Miss Elizabeth
Spring, of San Diego, in the
presence of the members of the
far1ily and a few close personal
friends. This important event
has been anticipated by the
friends of the young people for
several months, but the formal
announceme ent will come as a
surprise. The groom is known
to all our people as a most ex-
emplary young man, ambitious
to succeed and with habits of
industry and ability to bring his
ambitions into a full fruition.
DR.. Ramage is recent graduate
from the California University
dental school, and stood at the
head of his classes, winning spe-
cial honor by being one of the
100 dentists selected by the gov
ernment for special instruction
in oral surgery and plastic work
for service in the army. The
bride, who is daughter of a
pastor of one of the M. E.
churches in San Diego, is a
stranger in the city, but she will
find a welcome in Winslow from
all our good people.

British War Tank.

A British war tank on a hatcar
in the Santa Fe yards Wednesday
afternoon was the center of at
traction for couple of hundred
curious and interested people.
The tank, which is one of the
largest in the service, was in
charge of Sergt. Burnside and
Gunner Bailey, two English
Tommies, J" and tits being taken
San Francisco to put in an ex-
hibiti0n of war trophies. The
tank was in active service four
months on the west front, and
was engaged in the battles of
the Somme, Fontaine, Arras and
Bullecourt. 1t bears many i'm
prints Of enemy bullets as proof
of the service it has seen. Ac-
cording to Sergt. Burnside the
tank in action is equipped with
five Lewis machine guns, two on
each side and one in front, and
the facility with which the tank
is operated makes it possible with
it's armament to cover the whole
range of territory in which it is
working. The crew consists OF
four gunners and four operators.
The tanks have normal speed
of 10 miles an hour, but in battle
they only cover from two to four
!. lies depending on the nature OF
the country over which it has to
.ravel.

Fallen Down.

The committee of ladies push
ing the war stamp pledges report
that Winslow has sadly fallen
down in her quota, the total
pledges secured by all the differ
ent committees amounting to Jess
than SIG, 600. Winslow's portion
was $4,000. There were only
three pledges for $1,000, and one
of these is a ayoung engineer, who
never does much talking about
his patriotism, but has peeled off
big slices of his savings for war
certificates, and the three Liberty
bond issues. We would like to
publish his name, but the editor
does not care to keep lodging
around the corner every time we
see him coming to escape the
visitation of his wrath.

Land Grabbers.

Petitions are being circulated
in the state to initiate an amend
ment to the state constitution on
the present land leasing law,
making it possible for an indi-
! vidual to lease as many sections
of land as he desires. The law
at present provides that the
amount of state lands that can
be leased to any one person is
$40 acres, but it has been skill
fully evaded all these years by
the stockmen taking out leases
on land in the names of other
people, and many of the lessees
are minors. On the face of these
known existing conditions it
would seem at first glance that
an amendment to the consti-
tuition as suggested would be
advisable. as the land could then
be legally leased by stockmen in
their own name instead of resort
ing to the doubtful method and
illegal proceeding of having
stool pigeons leasing land for
them, but the people of this state
will be making a mistake they
will long regret if they sanction
the proposed change in the con-
stitution as proposed by the
stockmen in their initiative peti-
ton. The vicious part of the
bill is that in a few years all the
land in the state will be leased
and under the control of less than
a hundred big stockmen, making
it practically impossible for any
other person to ever get start
in the stock business, which
means the retarding of the
settlement of the country with
new people. Under the present
law where only one section can
be leased to an individual, and
other sections are held in the
names of stool pigeons, many of
whom are minors, the power
rests with the state to cancel
illegal leases at will for the pro-
lection of the best interests of
the state.
In northern Arizona where
every other section is owned by
the railroad and the land leased
to the stockmen, the passage of
the proposed amendment would
make it possible for the large
stockmen to control whole solid
townships of land, and by pool
ing their interests which they no
doubt would do, the days of the
little stockmen will be numbered.

City Council Meeting.

The new city council met last
Tuesday in adjourned session fol
the purpose of completing their
organization. The first question
to be taken up for settlement
was the passage of an ordinance
regulating the salaries of the
several appointees, which was
Fl ally adjusted satisfactorily
after considerable sparring.
Then the selection of men to fill
the several appointments were
rapidly made as follows:
City marshal, A. O. LaPrade.
Assistant marshal, Ed. Gardner.
City clerk and police judge, J.
H. Chapman.
The provisions of the ordinance
providing for a city attorney and
a city engineer were stricken out.
The ordinance as passed appears
in this issue of the paper.
Then the council hoped on
the question of cleaning up the
town with its fine assortment of
tin cans, dead cats, dogs and
chickens, and the zeal they put
into the cause BODIES i'll for the
people who are making a practice
of dumping their rubbish In alleys
or some other convenient place.
The discussion closed by appoint
Parr, Riley and Ramage as the
committee on streets and alleys,
and they will be known as the
tin can committee, and with the
assistance of the officers they
will see to it the town is cleaned
up and kept clean. Early We'd
nesday morning the committee
was on the job, and a city dump
ing ground was secured on a
part of the land of Sam Hayes
about mile east of town, and
the residents of the city will be
compelled hereafter to haul their
rubbish to this place, and any
one caught throwing rubbish in
the alleys or on vacant property
inside the city limits will be
prosecuted. 1t is high time this
matter was being taken hold of
firmly by the city council, and all
the citizens who have a pride in
maintaining their places will re-
joice to know that action has
been taken.

Dog Poisoner Working.

Some contemplate creature
with nothing better to do has
been working several nights this
week poisoning dogs belonging
to our citizens. If his work had
been along the line of killing off
a lot of worthless ours that infest
the town it might have had some
element Of justification, but he
visited the homes where valuable
pet dogs were kept, and in some
cases had to trespass the prem
ises to get the poison to them.
The individual is very careful to
conceal his identity.

Bread Card Coming.

Mr.. AL. Rocca. U. S. Food In.
spector, was in the city Monday
and Tuesday in consultation with
our merchants to arrange for the
installation of a food card tc
regulate the sale of flour and
sugar. The system is being put
in everywhere in the state as
rapidly as possible. Under the
card system every family must
purchase during any one month
all their -four and sugar from
only one merchant, and every
purchase is marked on their card.
thus making it possible for the
food administrator to check up
on the quantities of each COM
modify used, and at the same
time protect the merchant from
selling more to his customers
than permitted by the food regu-
lations.
The cards will be ready to issue
next Monday morning, and no
one can buy flour or other wheat
products, or sugar, without first
signing a card and giving the
number of persons in the house
hold. This information will en-
able the merchant to figure how
many pounds of each commodity
you are entitled to during the
month according to the fixed
regulations. 1t will be we'll if
every householder takes a little
time at their earliest convenience
to go to their merchant and ar
range for the card, and study
the requirements of the new
order. rather than be embarrassed
later by being informed that
your full quota of these articles
has been consumed before the
end of the month.
The merchants have organized
themselves into an association
for the purpose of carrying out
the instructions from the govern
ment, and Mr.. Frank Keefe, of
Rabbits, is secretary, and it
will be his duty to check up the
cards every month to catch every
offender who has attempted to
exceed his quota by making pur-
chases at different stores. 1t is
our suggestion. after examining
one of the cards. and studying
the rules and regulations put out
by the government, that all the
people had better comply with
the rules unless they want to
cool their heels in Jail charged
with being a hoarder of food stuff.

Red Cross Meeting.


bers of the Red Cross Chapter,
held Tuesday evening, the nomi-
mating committee having the
problem of the selection of a
chairman to succeed Mr.. George
Cumming, resigned, reported a
a happy solution in presenting
the name of Prof. C. C. Grover
who had been prevailed upon to
assume the duties. The report
of the committee was promptly
accepted with enthusiastic hand
clapplng. manifesting universal
popular approval.
Mr.. Geo. Cumming, who has
given most valuable service as
chairman for several months,
and felt called upon to resign
owing to change in his working
hours which would make it i'm
possible for him to give the at
tention to the duties of the office
that he thought the place re-
qulred. was given a vote of
thanks by the Chapter.
Miss Skeel, representing the
home service department of the
Pacific Division, was present to
urge upon the Chapter to give
more attention to this work, and
add additional members to the
committee. The work of this
committee is to look after the
welfare of the dependents of
soldiers, to see that their allot-
ments are regularly received.
and give such other assistance
as may be necessary to their
comfort. At Miss SkeeI's sug-
gestion it was ordered that a
doctor and a lawyer or business
man be added to this committee
so that an office could be main
tanned in the business section of
the town for the convenience of
the soldiers families seeking ad-
vice. Mrs. Schleuter, as chair
man of the committee, was en-
powered to choose such addi-
tional members as she desired.
Mr.. r. C. Kaufman, cashier Of
the Arizona State Bank, and DIR.
Geo. P. Sampson were selected
by Mrs. Schleuter as additional
members of the committee, and
the down town office of the COM
mittee will be at the Arizona
State Bank, where all inquiries
by soldiers dependents will be
cheerfully answered and needed
assistance rendered.
Mrs. A. R. Goldman read
communication from the Division
headquarters instituting a new
system of handling Chapter pro-
duction of supplies. Under the
new rule Chapters are not to
manufacture any articles other
than those ordered by the Divi-
sion headquarters. Heretofore
Chapters made any and every
kind of supplies as suited the
workers fancy, and when the
shipments were assembled it was
found the articles were not even
ly balanced as to kinds, too many
of one kind and not enough of
another. The new arrangement
directs the Division headquarters
to make up a list of articles need
ed, and then the list will be ap-
portlOned out to every Chapter,
calling for certain number of
the specified items to be made and
shipped within a given time. BY
this plan an even ratio will be
maintained at all times, and only
such articles will be made as are
needed to make a complete as
sortment when they are shipped
to headquarters. Each chapter
is asked to Immediately make an
inventory of materials on hand,
and it will be necessary for each
Chapter and the branches and
auxiliaries to arrange it's work.
