Will Boost for H0lbrOOk
 in Oklahoma and Texas

J. B. Malone, who has a farm near Showlow, left last
 Saturday for a visit to the
 oil fields of Oklahoma and
 Burkburnett, Texas. MT.
 Malone and his brother own Ia farm near Devol, Okla homa, and oil production is creeping towards it, with consequent increasing value and demand for it. A short time ago his brother was offered a bonus of $100 an acre for a lease on 80 acres, with the usual eighth royal ty. He refused and later the offer was increased to $200 per acre, but this was also refused and he is sitting tight for a much larger price.
 Some years ago a govern geologist who was ma- king a survey of that section, gave MT. Malone a hint of It's probable oil value, but, like Holbrook, no effort was made to sink a test we'll until recently. MT. Malone will advertise the Holbrook sec ton to the oil men of Okla homa and Texas, at every opportunity back there.

 In this letter the Acting First Assistant acknowledg- es that "the records of this Bureau indicate that the gross receipts of the Hol- brook office are sufficient to place it in the second class, effective July 1, 1919," and he intimates that action will be soon taken ito place the service on a satisfactory basis"

There's a Moral in This
 For All Oil Companies

Attention was called recently to the fact that since it's entry into the Holbrook field the stock of the Wind River Producing and Refining company had made an advance on the open market of 66 per cent. Since that was written. the stock has been in- creasing in price even more rap- idly and it is now selling almost 300 per cent higher than it was when it made the deal with the Hopi Oil company, and acquired a total of 35.O00 acres in the vicinity of Holbrook.
 Looking over the quotations since March 18th, we find that on that date Wind River sold on the exchange at 21 cents; on April 18th it was 39c. bid, 42c. asked, while on last Saturday it sold as high as 61 cents. The moral should be obvious.

Mir. Fansett's Lecture
 Was Very Interesting

The lecture, which was given at the High School last Monday evening by George R. Fansett, mining engineer of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines, was one of the most interesting and instruc- tive ever given in Holbrook and wgs listened to with in- creasing attention from the beginning to the finish. The demonstration which MT. Fansett gave showing how simple tests could be made to determine the presence or absence of minerals in vari- ous ores were well worth see- ing and remembering by any one who lives in such a high ly mineralized country as Arizona.
 The distance of the High School from the center of the town, as we'll as the attrac- tions of a perfectspring even ing out of doors, prevented toe attendance of as large an audience as was deserved, but it is safe to say that if MT. Fansett comes again the hall will be crowded.

WinsIow Beats Holbrook
 By Score of Is to 9

The first baseball game of the season was played on the grounds nsar the court house last Sunday afternoon and resulted in a vic tory by the team from Winslow over the Holbrook boys, the score being Is to g.
 While the playing was far from perfect-the Holbrook boys es- pecially showing a lack of prac- tice and team work which will doubtless disappear after a few games have been played-the game was not devoid of interest and was enjoyed by a good sized audience. The boys from Wins low are a clean gentlemanly crowd and the defeat of the local team IS taken in the true sport ing spirit.
 Barstow and Savage were the battery for the WinsloWs, and James and Swatzel did the honors for Holbrook until the fourth in- ming, when w. Caldwell was sub- stituted as pitcher for James. The latter held the opposing team quite well, but they had obtained a good lead early in the game
 A return game will be played at Winslow on Sunday, May 18th. and Holbrook expects to bring home the bacon. The local boys always lose the first game of the season, just to show they're good fellows. Last year they lost the first game, but in the following 20 games played they only lost one.
 A collection was taken up be- fore the game started to defray expenses and about $57 was con- tributed. The boys are very grateful for this evidence of gen. erosity and support.

Sanitary Board Remedy
 Against Black Leg

Stockmen all over Arizona
 will be interested in the new
 est activity of the State
 Live Stock Sanitary Board
 by which under the enact
 ment by the legislature, they
 are supplying those who need
 it with "Black Leg" vaccine
 and "Hog Cholera" serum in
 small quantitiesfor just what
 they cost in big wholesale
 lots. After studying the ex- periences of other states and as a result of considerable personal experimentation, State Veterinarian R. J. flight has procured a stock of the most approved germ free liquid vaccines. The black leg vaccine will cost IF 1-2 cents per dose. It is put up in bottles containing 5, 10, 20, and 45 doses. The hog cholera virus and the hog cholera serum cost 1 1-2 cent per cubic centimeter. Since the size of the dose varies with the size of the hog, the cost per dose will vary from 45 cents (approx- imately) to $1.50.
 When black leg gets start ed it is very hard to tell it will stop. Since when one animal dies, a large area of range is liable to become infected.
 When an an animal is in- fected it gets feverish and around stiff and lame for a little while. Then 5wellings appear on various parts of the body. These swellings are usually on the legs, from which fact the disease gets it's name. In a few days the animal dies. One dose of black leg vaccine could beprocured from the Live Stock Sa nitary Board for IT 1-2 cents would nave given the animal inn nunity for life.
 Those desiring more in- formation about these dis cases and their treatment should write to the Live Stock Sanitary Board, Phoe- liX, Arizona.
