First Annual Navajo County Fair October, 49, 10

Editors Chapman of the
Winslow Mail and Braxton of
the Holbrook News are out
with their mud-buckets again
trying to attract attention by
more daubing.
We might suggest that 1t
would be more exhilarating and
better becoming of gentlemen
if they would settle their diff
ferences in a ring. AS an ad-
ditional attraction to the Coun-
ty Fair, to be held here in a
few days, we will be glad to
ask the management to rope
off an arena for an exhibition
by them. Such an exhibition
would be of more public in
terest, productive of a better
understanding, and probably
with no more casualties than a
desultory mud-slinging contest.
Step up, gentlemen, and show
that you are game sports with
red blood in your veins. Well
hold your coats.

Editor H. Chapman of the
Winslow Mail { Republican :
is still wailing because the
ID oCrats failed to vote
strong enough for a few of his
Democratic pets at the primary
election. Having no Republi-
can fuss on his hands the Mail
man sailed forth with his we'll
used muck-rake and little ham
mer into the middle of the
Democratic campaign to show
the faithful that he could stir
up a bigger stink than any of
them. Of course with his pro-
feSSional training he turned
the trick easily, but as a vote
getter he scored his usual
goose-egg. Now on account of
his lost energy he has become
over-exercised and there is no
one to administer little ice
to his feverish brow. The only
relief he seems to get is the
belching up of a lifetime ac-
emulation of spleen thru the
Mail, making Holbrook and the
rest of the county his target.
The wonder is that one small
soul could contain SO much
corruption.
Caution: Stay in your own
camp and don't try to saw
wood with a hammer.

Quit Music And Went TO Guns And
Such-It Gives Better Chance To
Promotion.

"Botie" Owens, grandson of Mr..
and Mrs w. NsBoatman of Mexico,
enlisted in the Navy about a year
ago, taking the musical branch. He
advanced at once to high distinc-
ton. But he saw something better
yet and lately he joined the Avia-
tion Unit. He is now stationed with
the 18th Regiment Headquarters
Aviation Unit, Great Lakes, Ill.
He's been having some exciting ex-
periences. Hear him in the follow
ing from a late letter he writes
home:
1 only have time for a few lines
as l am sure busy. l have been
promoted to Battalion Command
er, and besides l have been gone on
ten days trip. I can't understand
why you have not heard from me
as 1 wrote you a long letter from
Bayshore, Long Island, and another
July 4, from Pensacola, Florida.
On the 9TH l was on Paris Island, S.
c., and got back here yesterday
evening tired and worn out.
While at Pensacola 1 went up in
hydroplane with another fellow,
up about 1000 feet, and, believe
me, it was some sensation to be up
at that altitude.
l have from two to six companies
to drill now every day for foreign
service, and it is some work, too
teaching them battle tactics.
While at Paris Island 1 fired a
machine gun, only AZ shots, but
made 1876 hits out of possible 2S5
on a 5OO-yard range. The machine
gun shoots 600 shots a minute, sc
YOU see it did not take me long tC
shoot AZ times.
Well, 1 have totake the battalion
out to drill, so shall close for this
time. 1 am sure feeling fine, only
my appetite is not slackening up
bit.
