enced. The classes of the Uni
versity Extension Work by their
displays sustained the reputation
of Miss Hazel Zimmerman as a
teacher in this work. Mrs. C. H.
Ballard was awarded the first
prize for the best home made
hat.
The "Old Curiosity Shop" was
a point of great interest, being a
collection of curios for which the
management is indebted to the
untiring efforts of Miss Thalla
Kratchner and William C. Smith.
The Curiosity Shop was in very
truth a wonder room. The ed
ucational department, extremely
interesting in detail. had on ex-
hibition much work Of real merit.
The textile display contained
many pieces of special interest
and merit. Among them were
quilts and embroidery of great
age and merit. Some of this
work was done by Mrs. Ellen
Grear and Mrs. Margaret Baird,
sisters, aged respectively 80 and
II years.
The management is greatly en-
couraged by the improved in
terest manifested in the fair this
year over last. 1t is hardly ex-
pected that a fair in only two
years assume the proportions
hoped for, yet the Navajo County
Fair was fully so per cent. better
this year than last. The attend
ance was not up to expectations
because of an unwarranted dip
liberia scare and false report of
the contagion being present at
Snowflake, the seat of the fair.
The management gives earnest
hope of a better and even higher
grade meeting next year.
Gov. Campbell accepted the
invitation of the Navajo Club to
attend the fair and visited on the
last day, Oct. 9th. He was met
The Winslow mail., 1919-10-24

at Holbrook by E. F. Chaffee,
Secretary of the club, and con-
veyed to Snowflake in one of the
elegant Chevrolet cars provided
by the HoIlingsworth agency. The
fair management received their
distinguished guest with the
Snowflake Academy Band, and
afterwards he was taken in
charge by Joseph w. Smith,
Mayor of the city, and entertain
ed by his family in their elegant
new home. During the after
noon the Governor addressed a
large and appreciative audience
upon subjects nearest the Cover
nor's heart, as conditions most
needed for Arizona, being gener-
al internal improvements, roads,
irrigation projects, etc., but
more especially Capitalization of
community schools as being the
more successful means of pro-
viding educational facilities for
interurban communities. His
speech was forceful, logical and
we'll received by his hearers who
were more than convinced that
our Governor has the interests
and prosperity of Arizona close
to his heart and constantly in
his thought. Long live our
Governor and long live the Nava-
jo County Annual Fair Associa-
ton, each exerting their utmost
endeavors to bring Arizona
grandly to the fore in all things
that go to constitute a grand and
glorious state of the union and
happy, prosperous, contented
people. Gov. Campbell left for
the White Mountains in company
with Game Warden w. H. Lar
son and Frank Campbell, vice
president of the fair association,
to secure {?) his quota of wild
turkey.

MILLIONS of dollars per year and
would have materially affected
the price of tires.
The Firestone Company fought
the case through the courts until
the present time, when the Uni
ted States Court of Appeals. re-
versed the decision of the Dis
trict Court, with instructions to
dismiss the bill. 1t declared there
was no infringement of the Good
year tire machine patent and
that the Seiberling and Steven,
and also the State patents were
invalid.
This victory of the Firestone
Company Is much more far reach
ing than ITS former victory In the
famous Perlman Patent Rim
Case. 1t was also an alleged
basic patent which had it then
decided to be such, would have
demanded a tribute from every

Firestone Company
Wins Big Victory

According to a decision recent
ly handed down by the United
States Court of Appeals in Gin.
cinnati, the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company has won a
sweeping victory, bringing to a
close litigation which has been
in the courts since 1914. In that
year suit was brought against the
Firestone Tire and Rubber Com
pany by f. A. Seiberling, Presi-
dent of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company for infringe
ment of alleged basic patents.
These patents were alleged to be
basic on the manufacture Of pneu-
matte tires by machinery and
therefore the suit affected not
only the Firestone Company, but
indirectly all the manufacturers
of pneumatic tires and the auto
mobile industry in general.

A MOST WORTHY CAUSE

Marked progress is>being made
in the Statewide organization
which will undertake the task of
raising $3.50, 900 to rehabilitate
the war stricken Assyrians, Ar
menians and Jews and other peo-
pie of the Near East. This gi-
gantic task will be carried out
through a three-ih-one drive for
funds during the week of Feb
ruary 10th to 17th.
The truth of the. terrible con-
ditions now prevailing through
out the Near East, is revealed in
a recent appeal of President
Wilson. which has taken the
form of a proclamation. This
reads in part, as follows:
For more than three years
American philanthropy has been
a large factor in keeping alive
Armenian, Syrian, Greek and
other exiles and refugees of
Western Asia.
''On two former occasions /
have appealed to the American
people and the response has been
most,generous, but now the per-
iod of rehabilitation is at hand.
Vastly larger sums will be re-
quired to restore these once pros
porous, but now impoverished,
refugees to their former homes !
than were required merely to
sustain life in their desert exile. |
II, therefore, again call upon.
the people of the United States
to make even more generous con-
tributions than they have made |
heretofore to sustain through the |
winter months those, who, thru !
no fault of their own, have been
left in starving, shelterless con.
dition, and to help re-establish
these ancient and sorely op-
pressed people in their former
homes in a aself-supporting basis.
There are 3,950,000 souls,
100000 of whom are orphans, all
in desperate need. Catholics,
Protestants and Jews alike have
been the victims of Turkish op-
preston and of Turkish govern
ment orders to exterminate or
drive from their homes and in
dustries every other people in
the Near East" says Charles
Willis, State Director. "Catho-
lies. Protestants and Jews alike
are receiving every help within
the power OF the committee for
the United Drive in the Near
East" further stated Mr.. Willis;
every dollar that is subscribed
goes to alleviate the suffering of
these stricken peoples; all ex-
penses of collection and of dis
'tribution is met privately"
Graham county will be called
upon to contribute toward the
$l50,000 to be raised in the State.
The county's quota will be Sc, 500,
and the people >of this county
will undoubtedly go lover the
top" again and give to this most
worthy cause its full generous
support in every way.
