Getting Results.

The local chamber Of commerce
are demonstrating every day the
advantages to the community of
such an organization when their
activities are concentrated on ac-
complishment of purposes for
the general good of the city. Mr..
Walton, the secretary, was in
Phoenix several days last week
looking up the field notes and
maps of former survey made
for a reclamation project for the
lands surrounding Winslow. and
the matter is being put in proper
form to present to Congress for
some action, which, at present,
looks as though it might be pass
ed upon favorably. 1t is esti-
mated that this project will re-
claim about $4,000 acres of valley
land, which is only awaiting the
application of water to bloom as
a fertile garden.
Another matter of interest to
our citizens is the placing of the
south road to Long Valley and the
Roosevelt Dam on the new tenta-
tive systems of state highways.
With this road made a state high
way Winslow will have a direct
auto road connection with Phoe-
nix. Mr.. Walton was ably as
sisted in this work by Mr.. Chas.
Fairfield, who is now connected
with the governors office, and
State Engineer Thos. Maddox,
both former Winslow boys.

England has long since sur
rendered any ambition to con-
troll the United States by force
of arms, but if she can succeed
in yoking us into a league of ma

she will have accomplished our
subjugation by diplomacy under
the present King George, which
old George III failed to do even

A "Poindexter for President"

ington to bring his name before
the republicans of the country.
Poindexter is the senior senator
from the state of Washington.
and has an enviable reputation as
supporter of all progressive

ator Borah, of Idaho, Poindexter
is too far west to receive much
consideration from the eastern

tier in Winslow before we land

1t is not without many regrets
we make this announcement, as
we have enjoyed our work, and
have learned to love all of our
people. And there is reason.
Just four years ago the editor
and his wife came here total
strangers, but with that true
western hospitality they opened
their arms to receive us as men,
bers of the community family,
and continuously since then have
showered us with their gracious
favor and continued acts of kind
ness that would make us most
unappreciative if we did not hold
sentiments of lasting gratitude.
and feel the twinges of sincere
regret at the severing of such
pleasant relations.
We have no particular plans
for the future further than we
will join Mrs. Chapman in Los
Angeles for a needed vacation
from the daily grind, and then
we will return to Winslow for a
time to close up the business. At
ter that the Lord only knows
where the hand of destiny will
direct our activities, but wherev-
er our lot is cast we will always
keep green in our memory the
pleasant years spent in WinsloW
and the cordial goodwill shower
ed as a blessed dew by all the
citizens.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's SO easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to it's
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful-Adv.

SUPERSTITION HARD TO DOWN
Quaint Belief in Reference to We'd
ding Customs That Prevail in This
and Other Countries.

There are more superstitiOnS in ref
erence to the marriage ceremony than
in reference to any other in common
life. They refer to such matters as
the clothes to be worn by the BRIDE, to
the year, month and day of the we'd
ding. In Sweden it is believed that If
a girl is fond of cats she will not be an
old maid. We should expect the oppo=
site.
One Of our proverbs says that it is
i'll luck for bride to see her face in a
glass by candle. Another that we'd
ding feast postponed BODIES bad luck.
Bees must be told Of a wedding and
get some of the cake. The pins used
in the dress of the bride at her we'd
ding must be all thrown away; if re-
tanned by the bridesmaids they will not
marry before Whitsuntide. A girl
must beware of being three times a
bridesmaid, for she never will be
bride.
1t augurs i'll for wedding If bride
does not weep profusely. No witch
can shed more than three tears, and
those from her left eye only. A copi"
Gus flood of tears gives assurance to
the husband that the lady has not
plighted her troth to satan and is no
witch.-Philadelphi Inquirer.

AUTOMOBILE STUCK IN MUD
Instead Of Jamming Down AcceIerator
Shift into Low and Give Wheels
Chance to Catch.

It is a natural impulse when the
car stalls in soft going to jam down
the accelerator to get all possible pow
er from the motor. But if the car has
stalled because the rear wheels cannot
take hold in soft mud and are slipping
around, this is not the best way out.
The whirling wheels simply dig down
deeper. 1t is better, after shifting into
low, to let the motor run at compara-
lively low speed and edge the clutch in
gently. This will give the rear wheels
a better chance to take hold. Often
one can get out better under these con-
ditions if there is load in the rear
seat.
If the wheels continue to slip at
slow speed, it becomes necessary to tie
ropes about the rear wheels or to
throw straw or brush under them.
With light car one can often help it
forward by placing one end of a stout
plank or pole under the rear axle and
with the leverage thus gained lift it
forward while another applies the
power slowly.-Milestones

SUPPLY NEARLY EXHAUSTED
Germany Has Demonstrated Possibil-
ity of Driving Motor Vehicles With
BenzoIe-New Carburetor Must
Be Devised.

At the present rate Of consumption
the motor car demand for gasoline can
hardly be supplied for another 20
years.
When we think of power we are apt
to think Of steam engines and of coal
shoveled by grimy stokers into fiery
furnaces. Few realize that our gaso-
line engines, those that are used on
the farm and on the water as well as
on the road, generate more than twice
the power of all our steam plants. Our
pleasure cars alone drive us through
the country at staggering total ex-
penditure of 85OOO,OOO horse power.
II all the gasoline engines in the coun-
try were to run every day for only
ten hours day, our gasoline supply
would be exhausted in a month.
Germany Uses BenzoIe.
1t is abundantly evident that within
the next decade new fuel must be
found for the motor car. Germany
has demonstrated the possibility of
driving motor vehicles with benzOle,
a by-product obtained in the manufac-
ture of coke. But since benzole is not
produced in sufficiently large quanti-
ties and since, moreover, it is required
In the manufacture Of explosives, dyes
and chemicals, it is not likely to take
the place of gasoline.
Kerosene must drive the motor car
of tomorrow. Unfortunately, it does
not vaporize so readily as gasoline.
Nor can it be efficiently utilized for
road locomotiOn in engines that now
consume gasoline. New feeding de-
vices must be invented; a new, simple
type Of carburetor must be devised /;
a new kind Of engine must be created.
All this motor car manufacturers have
foreseen. For many months their re-
search engineers have been at work.
When the price of gasoline reaches
60 cents or more gallon the kerosene
motor car will appear.
Crude Oil DwindIing.
Since the crude OIL supply of the

Simply attach the cutting machine to

Lest (the car skid on the slippery

SMALL BOY STEALS A HITCH
Youngsters May Be Kept of Spare
Tire Holder by Use Of Strip
Of Spiked Metal.

The cry of our childhood, whip be-
hind!" is out Of date, but the need for
a substitute is very much here. Boys
have trick Of stealing rides on the
spare tire holder, when it is in the
rear of the car; this is bad for the tire
holder, and it may be much worse for
the boy if he happens to fall off at the
wrong time. A strip Of spiked metal
material, such as frequently adorns
park ratings and similar places, may
make the tire holder too uncomfortable

TRACING A LEAK OF VALVES
Soft and Trouble FoIIoWs-Ex-
anime All Gaskets.

In overhead valve engines, where
the valves are carried in removable
cages, gaskets are used to give tight
joint when the cage is screwed in
place. This packing very frequently
becomes soft and the result is leak
around the valve. which may be diff
cult to locate unless one is aware Of
this likelihood. Similarly in multi
cylinder engines the gaskets used at
the point where the intake manifold
joins the different cylinders should
be carefully examined whenever the
manifold is taken off, as leaks are
likely to develop here.

JOHN JONES STIRS
 NEW EMOTIONS IN
 HOUSE OF COMMONS
New Labor Member Abjures All De- corum and Raps Dignity of
 Honorable Members"
sy Associated Pr.ss

London, March 27-Every Parliament produces a new character. The American Congress had it's "Sockless" Jerry Slmp- son from Kansas, and the House of Com mons had Kier Hardie, who apepared on the floor in a workingman's cap and with a workingmans freedom of speech in the era when the silk hat and frock coat were still almost a uniform for that as sembly, and when the heavy Gladstohiah manner was it's model for debate. Jonh Jones, the new labor member from ST. vertown, is the Jerry Simpson and the Kier Hardie of the new House Of com mons.
 The proof of this is that his speeches are punctuated with shocked cries of or der from the old timers and the reason for the cries is that he talks 10 the House of Commons just as he used to talk when he was addressing out-of-door audi ences from a soap box at Tower HHl' which is the forum for informal work mems debates.
 Don't you try to assume so much, guv'norn was his first remark to the speaker. Speaker Lowthar, sitting under a canopy arrayed in his wig and gown is a parsonage certainly no less porten- tious than the chief justice of the United States of America, and the house had shock equal to what the supreme court would have suffered under similar lese majeste.
 John Jones got even with the House last night.
