system shared with other roads the
decline in traffic that began near tho
close OF 1920 and reflect also its failure
to get the full benefit OF the So per

because the service commissions in the
States In which 1t operates refused to
raise the rates ON intrastate traffic to
the same level as the Interstate Com
merce Commission authorized for in
terstate traffic, effective September /,

accounted for by the fact that operating

SCHOOL NOTES

The Girls Basket Ball team is getting in shape fast and look forward to a successful season. There are about 10 to 15 out every night for practice and it looks as if there might be a scrap for those who make the first team.
 The Manual Training class has been making good pro- gress in the last week and it will not be very long before the gymnasium will be com pleted.
 The P. T. A. meeting last Friday was a success and a large crowd attended. Prof. Walker of the Northern Ari- zona Normal School gave a very interesting talk on leg islation pertaining to school betterment. Everybody en- joyed the program.\ After the program everybody stay ed for refreshments.
 The High School football squad is rounding into shape and will be. ready for their first game in about two weeks. The team has a hard schedule ahead of them and are trying hard to be in a place to trim the opposing teams or at least give them Ia good game. The team is practicing every night un- der R. c. Craig who has been coaching the team for the past two weeks.

EXTENSIVE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY ON BEHALF OF IOWA BANK
 FRS BEING MADE

MT. Charles Wilson Brown, Professor of Geology at Brown University, Provi- dence, R. l., accompanied by his graduating class of 1921 which consisted of nine men; arrived in Holbrook on Tues day evening. The intention of the party is to make a complete geological survey Of the potential oil-lands in Northern Arizona.
 The survey was comnlis- stoned by an Iowa syndicate, headed by Des Moines bank CTS. We who believe that the Holbrook area is an oil field can take no little con- solation from the fact that a party of this nature was sent here by outside inter ests.
 MT. Browns very cursory preliminary examination warranted no further state ment than "The field is idea Fly geologically situated for recognisance work"
 The NEWS hopes to be able to print, at least part ially, the findings. of Mir. Brown on the completion of the work.

COUNTY ASSESSORS ON THE JOB

The pleasing cooperation of the County Assessors of Apache, Navajo and Coco nino Counties resulted in the addition to the tax list of Navajo County of some six thousand head. The Feder- al government ordered all sheep in this county to be dipped on, or as near as pos sible, Sept. 23. MT. Shum- way supplied and received from the assessors of the ad- joining counties all lthe sheep growers who were paying taxes in the counties referr- ed to. When the sheep were brought in to be dipped,
 Navajo County was officially represented by our assessor,
 owners were questioned as to the county in which they paid taxes, those few who were persistent evaders were checked up, with the result that is above mentioned.
 Let's have the Federal gov ernment order some other kinds of property dipped. !"

BOYS, HERE'S A FUTUREl 2

Announcement n a 5 been made by the Shipping Board that Americans capable of taking the places of foreig- ners now serving on its yes seIs will be given employ ment. This applies not only to ships operated directly by the Board, but also to those belonging to the Board but operated by private individ- uals. Already such fine steamers as the American Legion, and her sister ship, the Southern Cross, have crews 100 per cent Ameri- can, and other vessels are being rapidly Americanized. Two hundred foreign mem bers of the crew of the Geo. rge Washington were recent " discharged, and her per sonnel is now almost entire ly American.
 Here is a field of employ ment that ought to appeal to vigorous young men from whatever part of the country they may come. From time immemorial the sea has held a romantic appeal. Love of adventure in foreign lands, as well as life on shipboard, has attracted the best man. hood of the country. 1t is true, of course, that inex- perienced men making their first voyage will not be giv- en high salaried positions of responsibility. As in every other business, the newcom- CTS must learn the trade in some subordinate capacity before they can become of fcers in the merchant mar inc, but the future of t h e merchant marine, but the future of the ocean carrying trade is bright, and the de- gree of success and profit that may be acquired in the service is measured only by the individuals own energy and ability.
 The American spirit, as much as any other factor, will win the international fight for supremacy on the seas, but that spirit cannot be displayed at it's best while a large portion of our crews are citizens of foreign coun- tries. Mercenary soldiers make poor fighters, and for eign employees on our boats are not going to exert them selves any more than is ne- cassary to hold their jobs. The. esprit de corps of troops in the field has enabled many an inferior numerical streng- til to put the enemy to rout. In the same way American ships will make far greater captures of ocean trade if every member of their crews is inspired by a spirit of na- tional rivalry. The n e W policy of the Shipping Board should be made known in every town and village in the country, that every ambit- ious young man may be giv- en the opportunity not only of making a success for him. self but also of contributing materially to his country's
