Oil Agitation.

frequently UuIliIS CIlC pdot lew
months the editor has been TAX
en- to task because he has not
joined in boosting the alleged oil
fields in this county, and to put
the matter to rest finally and for
ever we will explain fully our at
titude. In the first place we in
tend to remain in Winslow, and
we are not transient boomer
who fades away with the col
lapse of the boom after all the
victims have been plucked; and
then, again, prospecting for oil
even under the most favorable
conditions is simply a gamblers
chance, and rich mans game.
The prospect for striking oil in
what is known as the Holbrook-
Winslow field, from the geolo-
gists reports. is just as favorable
from surface indications as in
other districts where experiment
tai drilling has been successful
in some cases and complete fail
ures in others. If any one feels
he is financially able to take
gamblers chance investing in
any of the numerous propositions
that are being offered on every
hand that is his right and priv
ilege, but so far as the Winslow
Mail is concerned it will not lend
assistance to working up hys-
terra and be party to make cas-
ier the plucking of misguided in
dividuals who can ill-afford the
investment. The actual history
of prac 5ically all these promotion
schemes is that the little inves.
tor loses all he puts in, and the
only ones who get away with the
winnings is the promoters. Even
in proven oil fields many wells
are put down at great expense
that are failures, and the money
is lost. Most of the oil prospect.
ing booms are based on nothing
more substantial than some al
legged geologists' report that the
Pennsylvania formation exists,
and then a lot of professional
promoters, who individually can
not finance a peanut stand, begin
organizing million dollar COM
panies to develop oil, and start
out with their alluring prospec-
tus of the fortunes to be made
over night, and while their vic
Tins are under the hypnotic spell
separate them from their money.
A few days ago the rumor was
spread broadcast by the oil pro-
moters of Navajo county, and
the story was sent out to the
daily papers, that the Carter Oil
Co., drilling at Defiance, N. NJ,
had struck flow of oil. There
was no truth in the statement
whatever. The only basis for
the story the drillers went thru
some oil shale, and traces of oil
appeared on the water. The fake
was played up strong by the Ma
vojo county eXploiters to re-kin-
die enthusiasm to make the milk
ing OF suckers easier. The tales
of the millions that have been
made by the little investors in
these promotion schemes in 9th
er oil fields is largely myth, but
it serves to excite the cupidity of
the unsuspecting.
1t is for these reasons and the
present existing conditions that
the Winslow Mail is not booming
the oil game in Navajo county.
We would be glad to hear that
oil has been discovered in Nava.
jo county, and would gladly sup
port a company of Navajo coun-
ty business men who would raise
the money to sink an experimen.
tai we'll, but we have no interest
in, or patience with a lot of i'm
ported professional promoters,
with their stock selling schemes

Santa Fe Entertainment.

DR.. Frederick Dean, who has
been doing splendid work for the
u. S. government in the army
cantonments and on wider fields
Of the war, is the next attraction
on the Santa Fe entertainment
course. He is billed to appear
next Tuesday evening, with his
lecture on "Siam," illustrated by
stereoptican views.
On Wednesday evening, April
I'd, THE Navy Girls" are billed
to appear. This is a combina
tion of independent artists, each
one specialist, and they give
varied entertainment of vocal
and instrumental music, imper-
sonations and sketches. This
company has been loaned to the

Bureau.
Hon. VIM. McAdoo and wife
passed through Winslow Monday
evening on No. 8, returning to
California. Mr.. McAdoo was
called east shortly after his ar
rival in California, a few months
ago, by the illness of his son.
Sheriff Harrington and County
Attorney Gold, of Coconino coun-
ty, were in the city Wednesday
to pick up couple Of prisoners
held here who are charged with
killing sheep belonging to some
Navajo Indians. While here the
gentlemen favored the editor
with a call.
Mr.. O. B. Sutton surprised his
many friends by dropping in the
city last Monday from his home
in Long Beach, Calf, where he
removed with his family about
year ago for the benefit of his
health. Mr.. Sutton has lost all
the surplus flesh that used to
make him look like an alderman,
and with his returning health he
looks ten years younger.
Geo. Harden, who has been
deputy attorney general under
Wiley Jones for the past two
years. has resigned his position
and taken up his residence in
Flagstaff. The vacancy in the
attorney generals Office has been
filled by the appointment of L.
B. Whitney, who for the past
two years has been chairman of
the commission on state institu-
tions. Whitney is a clever young
man, and a good lawyer, and he
is not a stranger to his duties,
having served for a time under
Jones as a deputy several years
ago.

Planning the New Home

There is an immeasurable delight deep satsfac-

your own home. Suppose you call your little fam
lily together noeU and begin those plans-discuss
ideals and desires and conceptions of the home as
they are seen by each of your household Let each
member have say.
First there's the little sewing room your wife really
needs. Her face lights up with pleasure as she tells
how she would like It'll corner of the house,
overlooking wide lawn-plenty Of windows to in
sure lots Of air and light. Shed also like bright,
airy, convenientkitchenwhe itwoud be apleasure

really should have a playroom. Here they'd be
haepy and contented and safe from the dangers of
the streets.
The girls both begin talking at once, telling how
they'd like to have the new home-their very own
bedrooms great, big, comfortable living room

and comfortable wicker chairs

who were paid mileage at the rate Of
3 liz cents a mile from the place OF
their discharge to the place Of their

Many people prefer to make their
gingerbread with sour milk. Beat

molasses with one cup of sour milk.
Add half cup of sugar to the
egg and combine the two. Mix
teaspoonful of soda and a half
teaspoonful each of cloves, ginger,

stiff batter. Bake in gem pans.
Just before taking from the oven
put marshmallow on each and let
it brown. This batter can be kept
in the refrigerator for several days
and baked when needed. If you
get some very small patty pans it
can be baked in a twinkling of an
eye, hardly before you have time
to realize that the kitchen is getting
hot. These little hot cakes with a
dish Of sliced fruit or berries make
a nice dessert for a cold luncheon
