High School Dance.

The dance given by the man.
agement Of the Electric theatre
last Tuesday evening, the pro-
ceeds of which were to be do
mated to the high school for a
Liberty bond, was a most sue
cessful affair. The proceeds
amounted to S55, and a $50 Lib
erty bond was purchased, the re-
mainder being invested in a war
certificate, which is now the prop
erty of the school. The school is
very grateful to Mr.. Lathrope for
his generosity in donating his
house and orchestra for the oc-
casion.

Service Flag Dedication.

Last Friday afternoon the Win
slow High School dedicated it's
service flag with an appropriate
and interesting program. The
first section of the exercises were
given in the assembly room con-
sisting of music by the high
school band and the glee club,
with readings by Misses Dry
bread and Chase. There was a
double-headed contest for four
minute student speakers. In the
first section the contestants were
from the freshmen and sopho-
more classes. Messrs. Day, Coop
er, Mills and Shugrue, and the
judges decision was in favor Of
Mr.. Day. In the second section
were Messrs. Vargas and East
man, and Misses Chase and Dry
bread, representing the senior
and Junior classes. Miss Dry
bread was given the decision in
this section. The winners of the
contests must not plume them
selves, however, that their pro-
ductions were far superior to the
others, because we are betraying
no confidence when we say that
1T every person in the audience
had vote the result might have
been different, as every speech
had special parts that merited
praise.
The second part of the program
was held on the campus, where
the people assembled about the
fiagpole in a hollow square to
hear the stirring patriotic ad-
dress of County Attorney Larson,
fiaying Prussianism and the bar
barous cruelties they have prac-
tlced in this war. He read the
names of the twenty-five high
school boys who have entered
the. service, and paid a glowing
tribute to them, closing his re-
marks by presenting to the guard
of honor the large service flag
that had been made by the girls
in the domestic science depart
ment. The flag was Immediately
raised to the top Of the pole under
the stars and stripes, while the
band played America" 1t was
a patriotic afternoon, and those
who were absent missed most
interesting soul-stirring event.

Good Record.

The Santa Fe shops and round
house in Winslow is 100 per cent
pure on the third Liberty Loan.
There are 250 men. of different
nationalities, employed there and
every one has his name enrolled
as purchaser of a Liberty bond.
If there is another Santa Fe shop
with that kind of record we
would like to hear about it.
The Winslow mail., 1918-04-19

The shop men, right from work
still wearing the CRIME and
grease of their daily toll, got
most of the applause. They rep
resented the true American idea
of citizenship.
The Red Cross ladies looked
lovely and charming in their
white working uniforms.
Doc. Gilpin and A. R. Goldman
had a float representing Kaiser
Bill hanging from a scaffold,
which met popular approval.
You have all seen the picture
"The Spirit of 49," that was the
photograph of Larry Quinlan,
Ben Williams and Frank Keefe,
who headed the Babbitt store
clerks. Larry played the fife,
wearing the blood-stained band
age on his head, and clothed in a
Continental uniform, Ben Will
lams, tall and thin representing
the old man with the drum. and
Keefe representing the boy.
Everybody knew Larry was an
an expert musician on tambou-
rine and a bass drum, but they
did not know he could play a fife
with all the vigor of a veteran.
Banners were displayed from
every float and automobile, and
all were pithy and timely, and
many of them were gems. The
Red Cross ladies must have had a
poet employed for the occasion.
Chas. Daze's billy goat is al
ways made the "goat" on every
occasion, and he performs his
part with a meakness and sad
ness that wins for him the COM
miseration of all mankind.
The Liberty Loan drive is now
on in full force. Let the same
spirit that marked the parade
prompt the buying of a bond.
tWinslow must go over the top.

Liberty Bond Workers.

The business mems association
that has taken hold of the matter
of selling the Third Liberty Loan
bonds have divided the town into
districts Of two blocks each, and
have a committee of two men
canvassing each district. BY
this method every person will be
interviewed, and the committee
can report who were the pur-
chasers and who are the slackers.
1t is the intention to have the
canvass completed by next Tues
day, so the full report of the
town can be in the hands of the
general committee at that time.
The district committees are ex-
pected to report the names daily
to the secretary, Mr.. R. C. Kauf-
man, of those who refuse to buy
bonds with their reason, and a
special committee already ap-
pointed will again visit these
people to try to convince them Of
their patriotic duty. Winslow
has been apportioned $76, 900 and
the general committee are sure
they will reach that sum and "go
over the top. when the drive
closes

Work of Dope Fiends.

Some time last Monday night
some one broke into the office of
DR.. P. D. Sprankle, and stole his
supply of narcotics. Nothing
else is missing from the office,
which leads the doctor to believe
the work was done by some dope
fend seeking a supply of drugs.
Entrance was effected by forcing
the door to the inner office where
the supply Of drugs are kept.

Without being a carping critic
we think Larry Quinlan and
Chauncey McKelips should go to

Patriotic Demonstration.

oIldClOIl ever staged IN WlnSIOW
was the Liberty Bond parade
Tuesday evening, arranged by
the general committee having
charge of the Liberty bond sale,
and directly under the manage
ment Of G. H. McKellips and l..
w. Quinlan. The parade was
formed at the junction of Win
slow avenue and Third street,
and at $50 p. M, promptly at
the hour set the column started
to move along the line of march.
The number participating far ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expec-
tations, and when the head of
column reached Third on William
son it had to proceed one block
further north so as not to recross
itself on Kinsley, and again at
Kinsley it had to divert back
west a block to clear the street.
The three mounted police led
the parade, followed in order by
thc city council, the high school
band, members of the Red Cross
in uniform, with two floats for
the Red Cross with workers ply
ing their needles and fingers,
representatives of the Ladies
Liberty Loan Committee, high
school cadets. children from the
several schools, superintendent
and teachers, the ministers of
the town, office force of Agent
Fouts, the fire truck with the
Kalser's goat in prominence, en-
ployes of the different stores, 200
grim and grimy sbopmen with
their dinner pals, headed by
float carrying the Liberty Bell,
with a lad representing Uncle
Sam ringing for the Third Liberty
Loan, the japanese and Chinese
societies, and fifty automobiles
all gaily decorated and filled with
loyal citizens. The parade was
fully a mile long, and when it
broke on Front street, where the
speakers stand had been erected,
the wide plaza was congested,
with hardly room enough for all
to get in.
Immediately Mr.. Charles Nc
Cauley, a Santa Fe engineer,
made few brief patriotic re-
marks in introducing the speaker,
CO. Attorney Thorwald Larson,
who indulged in the very pleasing
performance of fguratively re-
moving the hide of the Kaiser
and Prussianism, which received
most enthusiastic encouragement
from his audience. He forcefulIy
impressed upon the people the ne
cessity Of their rallying promptly
and literally to the Third Liberty
Loan, as the best way for them
to prove their loyalty and patriot
ism in this war and supply the
government the financial backing
it needs at this time to provide
for the boys who are going out
to do our fighting.
If there has ever been any
doubt concerning the patriotism
of. Winslow citizens it was dis
PEELED Tuesday evening at the
close of this most remarkable
demonstration in the history of
the town. The parade committee
found everybody willing and en-
thusiastic to make the day big
success, and it proves conclusive
ly what can be accomplished with
a solid united effort.
NOTES.
The 42-centimeter gun mounted
on John Phillips car was fear

The acreage of potatoes was in
creased over 1917 but the season was
very unfavorable, bugs were bad, and
the aphids did great damage. The
extreme heat of July and August hit
the crc~ at critical time in the north
portion of the state, while that OF the
west side south of the river was also
damaged.
Sweet potato slips were set i'll the
midst of a severe drouth causing bad

The acreage of dry beans was much

usual year, the condition is Of per

ton ever known in this state. The
crop would have been larger except
for drouth, farmers having more en-
perience, and with favorable seasons
a better crop would have been made
than last year; also better seed was
used.
Tomatoes were 8 per cent of nor

TO ASK A $a.4s WHEAT PRICE
Growers Win Say That Present Rate
~ is Improbable.

Washington, Oct. Io-President
Wilson will be urged to fix mini
mum price of $2.46 bushel for No. I
Northern wheat or its equivalent.
Chicago delivery, by representatives
OF the National Wheat Growers As
ISOLATION at a conference Monday.
In brief to be presented to the
President and made public tonight
the growers declare that 1.-THE 1918
wheat prices barely cover the aver
age cost of production of wheat this
year and will be far below the inevi-
table cost OF production OF the year
1919 wheat crop"
The wheat growers take exceptions
to cost estimates made by the Agri-
cultural Department. declaring that in
computing them the department con-
sidered only the acreage harvested
and not the acreage planted to winter
wheat. 1t is pointed out that 81 per
cent of the winter wheat planted in
1916 was abandoned while OF the acre
age planted last fall more than Is per
cent was abandoned
Declaring labor now receives from
four to six times the pre-war scale,
the brief says. ut is only logical that
the price of wheat should increase at
least proportionately."

Texas Family Needs AZ Pounds o.
Sugar.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 1S-There is one
Dallas family that is entitled to 42
pounds OF sugar month under the
regulation of two pounds per. person
per month. This probably is the big=
scst allotment OF sugar being issued
10 anv one family in Texas, all under
one roof.
Steve Roseborough. a negro, 69
years OLD, father and guardian Of 20
children. was given certificate Sat
urday for AZ pounds Of sugar. The
negro lives near Garland and came to
Dallas alter the county food admins
traitor there had refused to issue a
certificate for such large amuont OF
sugar. He explained his case to the
administrator assistant, saying that
he had been married twice. He was
the father of three children by his
first wife and eighteen by the second.
Four of his sons, he said, were in the
army, some of them in France. He
said that he had twenty children and
grandchildren at his home and he
couldn't get sugar enough to Sweet
ell their coffee"
He made affidavit as to the size OF
his family and was given the ccrtifi-
cate.
