Biggest Radio Station

The United States has more big
gest, greatest, and best things tnan
any other nation in the world But
this should teach US humbleness, not
pride. We have just finished the
worlds biggest and most powerful
radio station. Warren Harding, at
his desk in the Whisc irouse, reached
over and pressed button, and 10.
an automatic device began at once to
send out an official message TO
twentv-nine countries. Within ten
minutes answers were received from
England, France, Norway, and Italy.
The new radio station is on Long
Island about seventy miles from New
York. The site covers ten square
miles. The towers are 4l0 feet high
and the cross-arms $50 feet long.
This makes the tnited States the CEN
ter of the worlds radio communlca-
ton. Poland, France, Germany,
Great Britain, Chile, Brazil, have
contracted for stations already, and
others are making application.
With the troubles of Ireland set
tied, with the Conference at Washing
ton producing concrete results, with
an Education Week observed every
where, the world is progressing
spiritually. With her countless new
j cntions for the physical betterment
man, she is progressing materially
The two go hand in hand, in fact,
may be interdependent'

Music and Movies

We attended one OF our Movie
Theatres the other night, Incidentally,
and without intention aforethought.
We experienced two agreeable sur
prises. We heard Rev. DR.. jackson
in four-minute address on Education
Week plead earnestly and eloquently
the cause of education in Virginia
and especially in our nome town. We
witnessed comedy which made the
rest of the audience laugh. And then
we settled down comfortably, and
were waited to tropic isle where
lie slender palms waved in the lam
suorouS breezes, the azure sea mir
rored a sky as blue, the distant noun
tains offered cool and shady hooks,
and all nature seemed to be il perfect
harmony with Heavens design. The
young lady at the piano, Alexandria $
own pianist, caught the spell, and the
dreamy waltzes and maZurkas of the
,inimitable Chopin further soothed the
tired senses, already lulled by the
magic of the silver screen. Such music
and such setting! As Marshal
Foch said, recently, we shed the years
of age, and once again renewed our
youth in realm in which music and
moonlight and feeling were one.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Future Conferences

The present Disarmament Confer
encc grew out of the League Of Ma
tons. 1t seems highly improbable at
the present moment that any Ass4-
ciaticn of Nations viii grow olli oil
the Conference. What does seem
likely, however, is that annual con-
ferences will be the result. Perhaps
This is the best thing that could nap
pen at the present stage OF the "orld :
history. The new world-spirlt IS as
vet fluid, floating vaguely IN the
minds of men, and shaping itself Tor
tangible utterance We are at one OF
those formative periods'in human al
fairs when the abstract has not as
vet. left it's shadowy realms for the
concrete world of every day existence
But it is assuming definitive proper
tons. A great step forward mas
been taken. The chief danger now
j, that we do not slip back further
tl,in we have advanced. If we 90,
however, it will be the first time IN
history. The human race moves 1or-
ward, not by leaps and bounds, but
BY waves and tides; progression and
then a retrogression; but each ne"
wave goes little higher, a little
further on the sands Of Time.

was man of God, of this, his whole
life was constant and living testi-
monial known of all men whose lives
he touched as he passed along the
highway of life's journey The light

EAGLES CHALLENGE

The Eagle A. G., is. now the
champion 10 pound team of the
city. The Eagles had game
arranged with the Virginia Midgets,
but the Manager of the ~Midgets said
"they would not play giving no rea,,
son whatsoever. The Manager .of
the Eagles noticed in a previous copy
of the Gazette that the Virginia ORR
oles had defeated the Eagles 70 to
0, such is all bunk, in fact the
Eagles have never met team under
that name, but if possible would
like to play them Christmas Day. The
Eagles Manager can be reached at
500 Princess street.
The Eagles are very anxious to
have the Virginia's- prove what they
have stated.

WINSLOW JUDGE
 JARRED LOOSE

The Winslow Justice of Peace scrap is still holding the boards in the superior court with no signs of abate- ment.
 J. L. Sweeney appeared before Judge Crosby last Saturday to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt in not turning apperta- nances of the office as well as the cognomen over to Walton.
 Attorney O'Sullivan of Phoenix ap- peared for Sweeney and it was agreed that motion for a new trial would be made before Judge Bollinger, who put the skids under Sweeney, and if he is still of the same opinion when OSullivan gets through with him the case will be appealed by defend ants to the supreme court.
 In the meantime Walton has start ed in to try over again the cases de- cided by Sweeney, and when Sweeney regains his equilibrium as a judge he will probably touch up the Walton cases-in this way Walton will re- pudiate Sweeney and Sweeney will repudiate Walton. And the litigants in the Winslow court in the mean time will be given rain checks for the next umpire instead of judg- ments that will stick.

HOLBROOK OIL

Announced plans of the Holbrook Oil Company have not yet been made public, awaiting the arrival of Man. ager Jack Warden, who has lately been in conference with company ge- ologists and packers. and for the past few days has been transacting busi- ness in connection with the future plans of the company.
 It is a confident belief, as evil denced by public opinion as well as the attitude of the management of this company, that the Holbrook will more than justify the expectations induced by the showing that has been made. We stated in former issue that underreaming had been in pro- gress and whether the well is shot at the present depth to ascertain the content of the strata, or whether it is decided to continue deeper, this preliminary work must be accomp- lished as water was encountered af- ter the original placing of the eight inch casing.

HAZEL HEDGES AND
 BACKS INTO WOE

Hazel Peek, who swore to a com plaint charging investigator Sisk with attacking her in her room at the Holbrook hotel while he was i'm vestigating a Mann act ease, came to the rescue of Sisk when the case was called last Saturday in Judge Easley's court-in fact the complain ant was a good witness for the de- fendant, and when she testified that she had perjured herself in the com plaint it was easy money for the de fendant and there was nothing left for the court to do but to restore the prisoner to his liberty.
 One of the strongest points made by the defendants counsel was the fact that he had not talked with Hazel since she filed the charges against him and that the confession of perjury was all voluntary on HazePs part-and with the blowing up of the charges against Sisk Hazel was immediately arrested on a charge of perjury.
 Owing to the fact that she was re- quired as a witness before the Fed eral court, and the promise of the Federal agent to transfer her cash tond from that court to this when through with her she was allowed to return to Phoenix on the same train with the exonerated investi- gator, and it's a good bet that Hazel will never meet the charge.

SIX CHEVROLETS IN
 HOOK FOR TAXES

When the Chevrolet slump struck the Holbrook branch of the General Motors Acceptance Company that ac- cepted orders for the Chevrolet in Holbrook-and their business was running in low gear, they accepted contract with the Santa Fe to tow them back to- the home office all the way-and the unsold Lizzies, six of them, were herded into a car on the Santa Fe track-ready to go back, and everything looked lovely for the elopement of the said Lizzies from a stagnant and unappreciative market.
 But, in the multiplication of com plications that arose in making their getaway, they snubbed County Assess or Shumway, and in their haste to fly never said good bye-"What is our bill for being stored up in Hol- brook?" or anything else that should have been said, and just to show the said Lizzies' chaperons that he is on the job, he tackled a notice on the departing Lizzies' special car that said "You are hereby held for taxes in the sum of s1OO.31," and if the said chaperons do not come through by the 17th of February he will hold bargain sale of Chevrolets on that day-and they came through.
 A famous scientist claims to have a scheme to beat the grim reaper out of his toll-but none of the many devices to beat the tax man have ever been put over successfully.
 This is the only "buzz wagon" out fit in Holbrook. that never could see the necessity of advertising-and it is the only one that we know of that has turned up it's toes tosthe cactus" and had it's corpse attached just for living in the county.
The Holbrook news., 1921-02-18

the bond S25,O0O but on suggestion of the county attorney the bail was fixed at $8,OOO.
 The court in its finding says:
 Tt appearing to me that the crime of felony-receiving and accepting a deposit in the Holbrook State Bank, knowing the said bank was insolvent, by L. M. Reynolds the president of the said Holbrook State Bank, at Holbrook Precinct, Navajo County, State of Arizona, on or about the 11th day of December, 1920, has been committed, and that there is sufficient cause to believe the de- fendant L. M. Reynolds guilty there of, order that he be held to answer the same, and that he be admitted to bail in the sum of Eight thousand Dollars ($80O0), and I have commit ted him to the sheriff of the county of Navajo until he give such bail or be otherwise legally discharged"
 The only statement wrung- from the prisoner was his protest of the amount of bail.
 He said if he had wanted to get away he could easily have been in Old Mexico or Canada before this, and thought $5OOO enough.
 Tn view of the fact that he must remain here-even though he furn- ish the bond-on account of the date of his pleading on the first charge being set for Monday morning, the court fixed his bail at $80OO, and up to this time has not been able to furnish it.
 He is in the custody of the sher- if now and if someone with S8OOO of good and lawful money does not come to his rescue pretty pronto he will get his first lodging in the county jail tonight.
