Gas Gives Out.

Probably the worst abused man
in Winslow last Saturday and
Sunday vas Mr.. j. F. Beals, of
the gas company. Because of
delay in receiving car of oil,
which has been on the road for
three weeks, the gas supply run
out early Saturday morning, and
people who tried to get breakfast
after s a. m. had to fire up the
range. To keep out of range of
the irate housewives Mr.. Beals
took refuge in the gas tank and
had his meals brought to him
by the police. The car of oil ar
rived Monday morning, and peace
once more hovers over the COM
munity. This vexatious incident,
more regretted by Mr.. Beals than
than the consumer, serves as an
indication of the large place the
gas company fills in household
affairs of the community.

No Accident Week.

During the past two years we
have been surfeited with special
weeks for all manner of pur-
poses, and the end is not yet, as
next week. June 22d to 18th is
to be mo accident week." and
the mails are burdened with pub
licity propaganda that would
make library if bound in books.
But why only one week for no
accidents? Why not make it a
continuous performance? If IT.
responsible parents awake to a
full realization of their duty to
make their children quit playing
in the streets for week, why
not enforce the rule continually;
if fool auto drivers who delight
in speeding or reckless driving
can act like sane individuals for
a week why lapse back to their
criminal idiocy? Regretting, af-
ter an accident has happened, is
of little consolation to the VIC
tim. Keep your head "cut in"
with your brain power, and if
your brain amt working lay off
all hazards until it begins to
function.

Answers Last Call.

Thomas Flaherty. a soldier boy
from Petaluma. Calf, passed
away at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. R. Goldman Tuesday
morning, after a brave fight of
almost'two months. Young Flah-
erty had been oversee and was
discharged at Camp Mills the lat
ter part of April, and with hap
py heart'Was enroute to his home.
Shortly after leaving the camp
he contracted diphtheria, an d
when reaching Winslow was
taken from the train and placed
in charge of the Red Cross. He
was given the best of medical at
tention and trained nursingA and
in three weeks was released from
quarantine, but the poison from
the disease had gone all through
his system, and particularly af-
fecting the heart. He was re-
moved to the home OF Mrs. Gold
man, and apparently was gain
ing strength, with bright pros
poets of complete recovery, and
arrangements had been made to
send him to his home accompa-
MED by a trained nurse. The
mother at home, growing anx-
ious for her boy. arrived in the
city Monday morning, and the
joyful meeting seemed to put new
life in the boy to win out in his
fight. Early Tuesday morning
his heart started failing rapidly,
and about 8 a. m. the end came
peacefully. and another lsoldier
boy had answered the last call.
The body was taken to Pet
aluma for interment, and the lit
tie home so long expectantly
awaiting the joyous home coming
of the son and brother, will pass
under the shadow of grief and
desolation.

Shy One Instructor.

Two weeks ago it was announc-
ed in this paper that the school
board had employed one Lieut..
L. V. Lewis, of Logan, West
Virginia, as commercial teacher
and military instructor, but last
week the long arm of the federal
government reached out and can
celled the engagement, and the
suave Lieut.. Lewis is now speed
ing on his way back to Logan in
charge of a deputy u. S. Marshal.
1t appears from information
cleaned from kilograms and let
ters received here that when
Lewis started for Arizona to quail
ify for his job with the Winslow
school board, his mind must
have slipped a cog as he brought
another mans wife with him in
stead Of his own. The husband
of the woman did not view the
situation with a kindly eye, and
laid his troubles before the fed
eral authorities. and a warrant
was issued charging the lieuten-
professor with violation of
the Mann act. Deputy u. S.
Marshal Weage. of Phoenix, ar
rived IN the citylast Saturday
with the warrant, and Sunday
evening departed with his man
for Tucson for hearing, and
then Mr.. Lewis will be taken
back to the old home town.

Freedom for Ireland.

The Irish in all the beach towns
near Redondo, California, have
organized society to work for
the freedom or Ireland, and Mike
Moore, formerly of Winsl0w, is
the president. In a circular let
ter received at this office, setting
forth the objects of the associa-
tion, we can read between the
lines that Mike has deserted the
democratic party, as one particu-
lar clause recites that they are
opposed to a League of Nations.
Now if Mike will only convert
his brother John, and bring him
into the fold of the Republican
party which believes in the spirit
of liberty for all people, and OBJ
jects to being tied up in League
controlled by England, he will
have performed a great service
to mankind.
