to his hearts content. Joe Abel

made by the POSTMASTER, not the Edi-
tori Claude Miller vowed he was
"Gettin' Too Durn Big for a One
Horse Town, and Ahrens sang the
"Grecian Noon" o. L. Gray, the only
man who ever dared to talk back to

WINSLOW WINS AND LOSES

Sunday the Winslow Baseball club
took on the Gallap team for the
second time this season and though
the game was one of the most unin-
teresting ones played on the local lot
during many a season, the fans were
pleased that the home team came out
on top. Winslow won by score of
"a to 8. At no time were the locals
threatened and therefore we can see
no reason why the Gallup players
made their eight tallies. 1t takes two
teams to make a game and Gallup
was not there, we are sorry to say.
At no time during the game was there
anything that was of interest except
that at one time Captain Anderson
made grand attempt to go into a
nose dive while attempting to catch
a fly ball. The fans turned out in good
stlye and showed that they were in
terested in the baseball club
On Monday the 31st of May the
Winslow boys made their initial trip
to Williams where they took part in
one of the greatest marathon events
staged in that village in a long time
You tell EN- Limburger cheese; we're
full of holes. Nestor Baca started the
twirling for the home boys and did
quite well for the first inning the
enemy secured only six talIies during
the opening round. In the second the
fire works started and the Williams
outfit opened up on the locals with
about one hundred AZ centimeter
guns. When the smoke cleared away
the Williams marathoners had enough
tallies to win about one thousand
games. This game was Mr.. Bacas
first game and we blame the captain
of the team for not taking him out
of the box in a quick hurry Nestor
was relieved by Hall, who made
brave effort to stem the tide of de
feat, but he forgot where the home
plate was. and was always trying to
throw over the grand stand if he was
not trying to kill some of his tormen-
tors. AS final attempt to head off
defeat, Anderson took the mound and
our Ill first baseman did the good
work for the remainder of the game
To the credit of the Winslow boys we
must say that even though the slabs
men had bad luck they were trying
at all times to win the game About
the seventh inning they made a grand
rally and very nearly tied the score
which was now nearing the one mil
lion mark. Final score Williams 21
Winslow 18.
The locals were of the opinion that
they had pretty good ball club.
What they need now is a pitcher. and
we sincerely hope that they will have
one for the coming Sunday when
they will play Flagstaff at Winslow
1t is rumored that Manager Hixon
ha secured a 200-pound specimen
whom he will try out next Sunday.
We are with you, boys, even though
you lose at times. and we will be out
next Sunday and will root for you
more than we did before

REIGN OF HIGH
 COSTS NOT OVER,
 ASSERTS BOARD
Recent Price Reductions Are Discounted in May Busi-
 ness Analysis

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Despite the recent reduction of prices, little relief from the general reign of high prices is seen by the Federal Reserve Board in its analysis of May business conditions, made public today. The board expressed the view that there has been no change in the underlying conditions respon- sible for the high cost of living.
 Asserting that while "store sales and tendency to lower prices bear witness to the presence of disturb. ing factors" which suggest the advent of wide alterations in price levels. the board declares that it cannot ac- cept the situation as whole at it's face value. The explanation is added that there has been only slight in- crease in production and that there is no greater disposition on the part and invest than has ruled heretofore. ''The changes that have taken place, therefore, the boards andy sis suggests, cannot be looked upon as indicating a modification of under lying conditions. They may, however, afford basis for changes in busi- ness relationships that may broaden
 into more far reaching alteration of the essential price structure"
 Wages, apparently, have fallen be hind the advance in prices and the cost of living" the statement con- tinues, "the movement of labor from farm to city is continuing. Various demands for higher wages have been taken under advisement for the pur- pose of bringing about compromise adjustment General complaint of low efficiency or small output per unit of labor is prevalent and the difficulty of getting skilled labor in some of the more highly developed lines of manufacture is now very considerable
 The disturbing factors" have materially affected many lines of manufactureing although general man. ufacturing continues in substantial volume. Cancellations of orders Tn both cotton and wool by the jobbing and retailing trades, have not yet reached large proportions. but they are already noticeable"
