CALLED HOME BY
 ILLNESS OF MOTHER

Miss Helen Hammond, en- route to her home in Colo. rado from the Grand Canyon by auto, stopped in Hol- brook last Saturday for a visit with friends.
 Shortly after her arrival here she received a telegram advising her of the illness of her mother, and she left Sunday morning by rail for her home. ;
 twill be remembered that about ten days ago three of the young lady teachers of the city school, Misses Ham, mond, Durant and Davies, left by auto for a trip to the Grand Canyon, driven by Miss Hammond. After a delightful visit at the can yon, and returning to Ash Fork the friends separated,  two going to their homes in California, while Miss Ham mond, taking the opposite direction and alone, made the auto trip to Holbrook in safety. Had it not been for the illness of her relative she would have continued the journey to her home in the machine, however, wishing to reach her mother as soon as possible she disposed of the auto and left via the Santa Fe.
 While in Holbrook Miss Hammond was the guest of Mrs. W. w. Newman.

OPPORTUNE SUGGESTION

All investors should carefully study the oil situation. which Is governed by the law of supply and demand. says the Oil Press. of Kansas City. A little logic. backed by a little human inteIIi- gence. in considering the potent ial values oil securities in which he is about to invest his money. would cause him less worry especially If he would not look upon the transaction in the light of gambler who stakes his money on the turn of card or the revolution of a wheel. It would. for his own peace of mind, be much better for him if he would. after reaching a de- cision. feel a confident assurance that in due time his investment would yield him surprisingly satisfactory results.
 An investor in oil securities should visualize future prosperi- ty for his country and improved business conditions following in the natural sequence of events. The investor must realize that to make an oil company success ful. three things are absolutely necessary-time and money. com bined with good management. The investor must have patience the management must possess perseverance.
 The investor should encourage the management. The manage ment of an oil company is. after all. human appreciates smiles and a hearty grip with a pat on the back as the rest of US do. Denver Mining and Financial Record-l

ELECTION RESULTS

The election of Monday last for five aldermen from a list of nine candidates, resulted in the election of the following: J. M. Lee. Mayor, John Flanigan. Jas. H. Scorse. Chas. P. Cooley and w. H. ChamberIin. The fact that only 176 votes were cast would indicate that interest in the election was not very intense.
 The above council will hold office for the next two years and will have the appointment of a Town Marshall. a Street Com. missioner and Town Attorney

LEST WE FORGET

A1O OOI4A Sct VI 41Oy O-
 this year is fraught with nc
 greater significance than the 1 Decoration Days that have
 passed, but the observance
 of the day will perhaps be
 m or e generally observed
 than ever before. Too ire
 quently are the National
 Holidays of the American
 people taken lightly and as
 a mean of enjoying a days vacation without a thought for the reason for which the day has been set aside and apart, different from the days that go before and after. How many of us think of the real underlying significance, how many of us feel the invisible, but won derfuAy symathetic bond that binds us more univer- sally together on this day?
 
 The hallowed memory of the nations dead bids us pause and realize in our small understanding, the unbound ed devotion of our national heroes, for on this day they are ours to mourn, the loved ones of each of us in our col lectiye Individuality as a nation. The spirit and pur- pose of Decoration Day will never perish as long as the young are taught the lesson of unselfish patriotism and the old shall preach and shall practice it's precepts.
 Cantigny, St. M h e | Chateau Thiery, Argonne Flanders and Sedan have, in giving us the pride of great achievement and heroic sons, also given us new cause for mourning, which is softened by the thought of the won derful results to humanity secured by these noble sacri- fees.
 In this day of hurry and commercialism let us not forget the honor due the of our national de- lenders to whom we are responsible for our national integrity, our national honor and our existence as the of world powers,

HOLBROOK WINS
 AT BASEBALL

The Winslow-Navaje baseball
 team 'arroYe" in our midst Sun.
 day last to lock horns with ouI
 local aggregation of ball tossers
 selected from the Petroleum and
 HoIbrook Regular Team. The game was well played as indicat- ed by the score. Holbrook win ming on the leng end of a 5 to 4 tally. Osborne and Reuter- and Swatzell were the business end of the Holbrook team, while Rus sel and Henry composed the battery of the visitors. Local interest was manifest by the number of fans present.
 Hear ye, Stop, Look and Lis ten-there will be a baseball game played on the local lot Sunday next between the Petro- ,leum a d Holbrook Regular teams, and this will be a red hot game from all advance indica- tions and the game will be for 'blud". Some few weeks ago the Petroleum team took large sized fall out of the regulars and the partisans of both teams have since been active in claiming the town championship.
 The attendance at next Sun days game should be large as the local interest is keen and the two teams have agreed to donate their services and all grand stand receipts to the Salvation Army who are making a drlve for funds at the present time. All who remember the magnifi- cient service rendered by this organization to our boys in France will be glad to contribute and the keen rivalry of the two teams should, in addition, furn- ish an afternoon of much inter- est. There is no truth in the re- port that Sheriff Harp has been requested to furnish special de- puties. Tommyhawks. p a l shooters and cat calls should be left at home.

Field Notes

WIND RIVER-HOPI-( (DnIling)
 Work continues uninterrupt- edly at this well. Consider able drilling has been neces- sary to get the hole in proper condition to make rapid pro- gress, but this is practically accomplished and within the next day or two depth should be attained.
 Oil is being burned at this well for the dressing of bits with excellent success.
 The management is using every moment to advantage and the current opinion that a record speed will be made seems to be justified in view of careful preliminary work, a plentiful supply of tools and an experienced drilling staff and management.

 dence in the successful out come of exploration is not marred by a seam of doubt.
 It is known that large and influential interests, W h o overlooked a bet at the start of interest in this field, are making decided and stren- uous efforts to break into the game by securing attractive acreage.
 No, there is no "boom" on in Holbrook right now, but the powder is being tamped in and the load is a big one. Watch for the grand explo- sion. Quiet investigation is responsible for many arrivals and the hotels are taxed to their capacity the greater portion of the time. We have reason to believe that many a man of note in the oil world has arrived incognito as negotiations are being sought in no hesitant manner as would be the case with those unfamiliar with the
 field.
 No--there is no ''boom" on in Holbrook right now, but the steady, growing, healthy interest and activity speaks eloquently of the strength of belief in the field. The fuse is being laid and needs but the spark of production to start the greatest boom in the history of the west.
 To those who follow the game for employment, the time is not yet, but to those who watch for a Ground Entrance, now is the time. A judicious invest in stock or the acquisi- tion of land for drilling pur- poses is we'll worth consider ing favorably--the time to invest is BEFORE produc- tion, and while the DRILL is the only sure test of any field, did you ever make much moneyon a sure thing?

Announcement of new 1920 Max well model, which includes the rede- cigning of many important functions of the sturdy little car, was made by the R. D. Roper Motor company, local Maxwell agency, last week. A ship ment of the new Maxwells is now en route to this city, the statement said.

 Automobile engineers of this and other countries have accomplished in the last four years what it would probably have required 50 years un- der normal condition to learn The war has disclosed many points of value to these engineers, who are already incorporating them in new models.
