Loans are also subject to renewal.
These loans will be made to persons
only who have actual residence on

praised value is not less than $500
per acre. The sums loaned cannot

One Less Bootlegger.

Last Monday night a deputy
sheriff at Wilcox, this state, shot
and killed a fellow named Will
lam Krupp, a former automobile
dealer at Bisbee. 1t was sus-
pected Krupp was transporting
liquor in his car when he passed
through Wilcox, and the deputy
started in pursuit, racing with
his man for nearly twenty-five
miles. Finally Krupp, seeing he
could not escape, opened fire on
his pursuer, who returned the
fire from a rifle and killed his
man at the first shot.

New Quarters.

The local Elks lodge have
surrendered the lease on their
old quarters, and removed into
the room over the Palace of
Sweets. The change was made
as a war measure to conserve
resources, as under a ruling of
the grand lodge all members in
the service must be maintained
in good standing during their
enlistment and the dues must be
paid by subordinate lodges. The
local lodge is now assessed nearly
$500 a year for this purpose, and
it is growing larger with every
additional call for men. 1t is
doubtful If there is any other one
order which has given so many
men to the army as the Elks,
due largely to the fact that a
large per cent of the member
ship is made up of young men of
draft age.

Drouth Broken.

After several days of intense
hot weather the drouth that has
afflicted northern Arizona all
summer was broken last evening
when all this section was visited
with a magnificent rain. Besides
cooling the atmosphere it brought
real plea SAINT smiles to the faces
of all the stockmen, restoring
their natural expression. The
feed and water supply on the
ranges has been a serious prob
lem for some time, and while the
rain that has fallen will not
suffice to completely correct the
conditions, it will bring about a
material improvement.

Quits Job for War.

1t will come as a surprise to
many of our people to learn that
Postmaster Daze has resigned
his position in order that he can
enlist in the army and start out
after the Germans. The depart
ment has notified him that the
resignation has been accepted,
and he will be relieved from duty
as soon as possible. Several
months ago Daze made applica-
tion for leave of absence to
enter the service, but this re-
quest was not granted by the
department, and the resignation
followed. Mr.. Daze is satisfied
there is more excitement chasing
the Huns than in reading the
postal cards for Uncle Sam and
invoicing postage stamps, and
being young and strong he wants
the excitement. The old saw is
no longer true that democratic
officeholders sometimes die but
never resign" especially in view
of the fact that the Winslow and
Flagstaff postmasters have both
resigned within the past week.

War Stamp Campaign.

The war stamp campaign now
on must not be confused with
the war stamp campaign insti-
tuted several weeks ago by the
several churches and lodges in
the city. While both movements
have the same purpose in view,
one was a local affair managed
by the county chairman of the
war stamp fund, while the
present drive is national in scope
the same as the sale of Liberty
bonds. If you have signed a
pledge card with the local COM
mittee for the purchase of stamps
it is expected you will keep up
your pledge, but the committee
working under the national drive
will call on you to get an addi-
tional pledge if you feel you can
invest more heavily in the thrift
saving plan. Winslow's just pro-
portion of pledges should exceed
$50, 900, and if we expect to reach
this amount every one must come
across literally in signing up for
purchases to be made during the
remainder of the year 1918.
The boy scouts of Winslow
have volunteered to make a can
vass of the town every Saturday
to supply people with the thrift
stamps or war saving certificates,
which will afford the people an
opportunity to buy at their own
door. It is hoped the citizens
will make a special effort to
patronize these patriotic lads in
their efforts to do their bit, as a
pleasant smile and the purchase
af a thrift stamp for Csc will do
much to encourage the boys in
their work and stimulate their
loyalty and patriotism.

15Sth Infantry Band.

The citizens of Winslow were
highly honored Thursday by a
visit from the 158th Infantry
Band, which has been touring
the state for the past two weeks.
The band reached here early in
the morning, and Immediately
after breakfast automobiles were
provided to take the boys to
Chevelon for a swim. At Bpm,
they gave concert in the Opera
House before an audience that
taxed the capacity of the place.
In the evening at 8 o. m. the
band gave a concert in the Elec-
trio theatre to another crowded
house, and following the concert
the band orchestra played for a
dance.
The band left this morning for
Holbrook where they will spend
the day. This band is ranked as
the best musical organization at
Camp Kearney, which is a source
of considerable pride to this
state, as it is better known as
the 1st Arizona Regimental Band.

A couple of gentlemen from

largely improved opportunity
when the oil fields are fully de-
veloped.
A message was received here
last Saturday noon from the
sheriff's office to pick up a man
riding in a Mercer car, and hold
him for further advices. Within
an hour Deputy Pete Pemberton
had the man under arrest and
took him to Holbrook. The man
claims he purchased the car from
young man in Los Angeles for
cash, and it is possible that in
the final threshing out of the al
legged stealing there will be a new
angle to the case.
