Another Big Contribution
 to Chamber of Commerce

The treasury of the Holbrook Chamber of Commerce was en- riched during the week when a check for $50 was received from the Holbrook State Bank This was in addition to a check for the regular membership fee and dues received from L. M. Ray holds. the president. The Hol- brook State Bank was one of the first signers of the membership roll and originally subscribed $25, which was equal to the largest subscription at that time. But the good work that has al- ready been accomplished by the Chamber, and the belief that much greater results can be se- cured if it is supported literally, induced the bank to double it's original subscription.

Chronic Constipation

There are people who never have a movement of the bowels without it is produced by a cathartic. Most of them have brought that condition on them selves by the use of mineral waters and strong cathartics that take too much water out of the system and aggravate the disease they are meant to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like Cham berlain's Tablets affords gentle movement of the bowels that you hardly realize has been pro- duced by a medicine. and their use is not so likely to be follow ed by constipation.

Neynaan Describes
 Killing of Hoctor

The story of the killing of Frank Hector by Jeff D. New man, which occurred Thursday morning, January 30, on the desert about 30 miles north of Phoenix, was told by Newman to the officers after be had given himself into their custody. It is as follows:
 T was on my way to Wicken- burg. when ten miles this side of Hot Springs Junction, Hoctor approached driving toward Phoe- nix. He evidently recognized me some distance away, for when he was almost opposite me. with out a word, he shot point blank.
 T stopped my car and jumped out, took my gun and fired two shots.' '
 Newman said that Hector used a pistol and that his weapon was 3O-3O Winchester.
 We had never had any seri- ous trouble, although last April accused Hector of stealing my sheep. We have met in differ ent towns since then. but 1 sup pose Hector never had the op- portunity to attack me before.
 He did not die at once. A man and woman passed and they helped me place him in my car, as he begged to be brought to town.
 ''On the way I asked him if he cared to send any message to his wife and his only answer was No
 He died eight miles from Glendale"
 Newman has employed George Stoneman. a prominent attorney, to defend him in his trial for the killing. He is now at liberty under bonds of $2O. 900

Meeting of Directors
 Chamber of Commerce

board of directors Of the Cham Der of Commerce was held in the lobby of the Commercial Hotel last Thursday evening. In addition to the majority of the board, there were present mem- bers of various committees. as we'll as many individual mem- bers. the total attendance being above twenty. Reports were made by various committees and much important business was transacted,
 The matter of getting better service on. the mail route to Keams Canyon was brought up. and Postmaster Osborne ex- plained the situation. A com mittee consisting of L. M. Ray holds, M. P. Cousins and L. B. Carron, with Postmaster Os- borne as honorary member, was appointed to see what could be done to secure the needed inn provement in the service.
 Senator Mayfield explained the need of continuing the mall route from Holbrook to Heber in order to accommodate the oil men now operating in the field. as we'll as the greatly increased number who will be operating before the year is over. If the mail goes out from Snowflake, instead of HoIbrook, these men will be put to much inconven- fence and added expense. This matter was passed up to the Trade and Commerce committee for action.
 Considerable interest mani fested in the discussion regard ing the location here of the gen. eraI offices of the Apache Lum- Der company. It was brought out that the company will have force of twenty or twenty-five in the general offices and that Holbrook is the logical point for their location. A committee composed of President Carron. Senator Mayield and L. N. Ray. holds was appointed to confer with the officials of the Apache Lumber company and urge the claims of this town.
 President Carron made a re- port for the delegation to the Good Roads Conference at Phoe- nix. showing that the meetina was one of the best ever held in the; state and that much was ac- complished. Navajo county had the largest delegation present and was accorded considerable attention. The delegates were continually importuned, both or the streets and in the hotel lob, bies. for information regarding Holbrook and it's oil possibilities, proving that the publicity giver for some months by the loca papers as we'll as by the Cham Der of Commerce since it wa' organized has been productive of important results.
 F. A. Buck suggested that new road oyer the mesa iron HoIbrook would, within 15 miles lead to one of the most beauti ful parts of the Painted Desert which would be an added in dueement for tourists to mak, HoIbrook their headquarters This matter will be taken up lat ter.
 In regard to the completion o the retaining wall along the rive for the purpose of obviating tn danger from floods. the commit tee on Civic Improvements wa requested to take action.
 No permanent quarters for tn
 Chamber have been secured
 yet, but it has been suggeste
 that the reception room in u
 Masonic building would be sui
 able and the committee was i
 structed to find out if it could

A Series of Sermons on
1.-THE Other Wise Man"
In the First M. E. Church

Next Sunday night DIR. Ed wards
will begin a series of illustrated SER
mons on "The Other Wise Man." The
illustrations are most artistic and beau
tiful. They will be thro wn on the AN
vass by the stereopticon. The story of
three wise men of the east who travel
ed far away to offer their gifts at the
manger-cradle In Bethlehem has often
been told, but you have never heard of
"the other wise man" who also saw
the star in its rising, but did not ar
rive with his brethren.
The great desire of this fourth pill
grim, denied yet accomplished, his
many w~anderings from Babylon to
Jerusalem; the long way of his seek
ing; the strange way of his fading the
one he sought in the palace Of the heart
OF man, will be shown by these views.
They will create an absorbing interest,
and make one feel he is in the Hall OF
Dreams.
You should not fail to hear the first
sermon and see the beautiful views of
the "Other Vice Man." as he sets out
on his journey from his beautiful noun
tain palace in Persia. Everybody well
come.

People cIuna to Old custom.

Pope Galesius stopped the last of
the pagan orgies still associated with
st. Valentines day in 400 A. D.. To-
ward the end of the sixteenth century
st. Francis de Sales set himself stern
ly to purge the saints day, ever of it's
lovemaking notes, valentines and friv-
olities. For the names of the opposite
sex drawn as "sweethearts ordained
by fate for the coming year" he SUBJ
stituted the name of the martyr him
self and others, and piOus notices re-
placed the amorous dOggerel. But, as
in the past, he found the %populace re-
fused to give up their mate choosing
and m~errymaking. So, after almost
fifteen centuries, st. Valentine still
presides as the patron saint of spring
time and mating, as did Juno and Pan
for centuries before him.

ABank Should bein Strong Hands

A recent analysis Of bank stock hold
ings In New York revealed that owner
ship is passing to small holders. This
is not u particularly desirable thing for
banking institutions OF the public.
Bank stocks ought to be in strong
hands SO that the assessable liability
may be enforced If a bank becomes in
solvent. The assessable liability is a
a protection to the depositors. In the
interest of the Institution also its stock
ought to be held by strong persons who
will give business to the bank. A few
influential shareholders might be worth
much more to a bank than a large list
of small NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

For some time the widow was in
clined to disbelieve Billy's version of
the vaie1tine, then she acknowledged
to herself that she had fancied that
the bachelor was quite often observ-
ing her and almost seemed at times
inclined to speak. Her mirror could
not but tell her that she was still a
very attractive-looking woman, though
she would have to own up to thirty
two years on her next birthday.
AS these thoughts ran through her
mind she said:
"Well, Billy, If I had a valentine [
might be tempted to return the COM
pliment."
Then the wise Billy thought that a
good idea if he should send Mr.. Hall
a valentine from his mother, then he
would feel still safer about his dog.
The next day just as Billy saw the
bachelor approaching his home he
dropped the valentine at the front door
and ran, making sur that MI. Hall
should recognize him.
In q few days Mr.. Hall asked m
of the neighbors to introduce him to
the widow, and finally an interested
party asked permission to bring him
to call upon her.
Each believing the other had sent a
valentine, they felt somewhat fiattered
by the attention, and they proceeded
to be very agreeable to each other.
Mr.. Hall called frequently after that.
He made much of Billy, and even spoke
a good word for the dog. Billy felt
very proud of himself and his plans
for his dog, but one day his mother
said:
"Billy, Mr.. Hall is going to be your
new father"
Billy felt crushed, for as he told n
of his boy friends: II didn't want
any s%tepfather; gee, l was only plan
ming to keep Bob"
But poor Billy not only gained a
stepfather whom he did not want, but
lost his dog. Bob had not been
trained in any way and his barking at
strangers continued and increased.

Iono an Annual Festival.

The history of good st. Valentine Is
of interest, and while in the year 1919
his devotees content themselves with
sending postcard greetings or lace
paper concoctions decorated with
scantily clothed cupids, armed with
bows and arrows, for time immemorial
the middle of February has been the
date of a similar annual festival, a
fete connected with the feasts of Juno
Februarta and Pan. the coming of
spring, and the time of the year in
which the birds and men are supposed
to choose mates.

my birthday comes next month and l
won't ask for any other present"
In a moment of weakness the moth
er gave her consent. The dog was a
poor, ~scraggly little creature, but had
big soft brown eyes with a pleading
look in them. However, the mother
could see that with good feeding and
good care it would improve in looks.
The next day the widows troubles
began. She tied the dog to a tree,
thinking to keep him out in the air
part of the day, but unfortunately the
dog had had no training, so every
passerby was jumped at, as far as the
rope would allow, and a ~ierce-sound-
ing bark accompanied the jump.
Next door the lone bachelor, Mr..
Hall, was laid up in his room for a
few days by an attack of grippe. The
barking of the dog soon got on his
nerves, but he was too much of a gen.
tleman to complain to the widow.
However, he told Billy in very. plain
language what he thought of his dog.
He had been in the habit of doing
comfortably till eight O'clock, but after
the dog came there was no more sleep
for him after seven, the hour when
Bob was let out to play and incidental
ly to bark. Billy declared he wouldn't
stop Bob from barking, for he would
be sure to scare burglars away, the
fact Of the case being, however, Bob
was a perfect coward and would have
skunk away if threatened by anyone.
Valentines day was near at hand
and as usual Billy asked his mother
for money in order to purchase his
love messages.
