will not give good service, whereas
an ordinary split ring well fitted
gives perfect results. The ring must
so be designed that 1t presses evenly
against the cylinder all around, its
metal must not be too hard, and,
above all, it must be fitted to its
groove in the piston so as to be able
to do its work properly. This means
the groove must be trued in lathe
to the exact size OF the new ring.

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING EN-
 SUES UPON BOYS SCRAP
One Man Dead One In Jail as Result of
 Childrens Quarrel

Last Saturday R.C. Reed CT and C.C. White, both re- sidents of the Spring Lake School District nine miles north of Concho became the principals in a grim tragedy resulting from a puerile quarrel arising between their children. One, R. C. Reeder, lies dead. shot three times thru the back with a 30-30 and the other is behind the bars awaiting ! his trial with it's aftermath |of tears and anguish to his family.
 We have been informed that the entire tragedy a. rose from the fact that the sons of the two men had a disagreement in school and settled it by the old method of having a scrap. Unplea- santness over this fight de veloped between the two families, grew, and finally ended with the shooting of one of the fathers by the other last Saturday.
 The dead man leaves a wife and three children. The shooting happened while the victim was return ing from a spring where he had gone to haul water. Both men were ranchers and had lived in the vicinity for some time. C.>C. White IS being held pending a prelim- mary trlal we are informed.
 It is of course too bad that boys will fight: but it is much more regrettable that the older people should take up the quarrel. Left to him. self the average boy will for get all about his grievances long before the second game of bail or third round of marbles. Making to much of children's differences has often resulted badly, but never more so than in the case of this lamentable tragedy.

ATTENDS NORTHERN
 FED. CLUB MEETING

Mrs. Jesse Hulet returned last week from her trip to the meeting of the Federal ed Woman's Club of the Northern Division held at Williams. She is exceeding Is enthusiastic concerning the convention, and brings back many fine ideas for the Club year.
 The concensus of opinion of those present at the meet ing seemed to be that the Northern Federation should join the State Federation, and automatically become a member of the National Federation. It was also a. greed that the members should take a determined stand against the wide spread divorce evil.
 The next annual meeting of the Northern Federation will be held in Winslow, and after that the Holbrook Wo- mans Club rather expects to entertain them here for the next year.

OUT TO BREAK RECORD

The record established by "Cannon Ball" Baker of 6 days and 8 hours for a motor cycle trip across the conti- nent is about give way to another record hung up by a couple of youngsters. Wells Bonnet who left L. A. last Tuesday at midnight, reach ing Holbrook in the wee sma' hours of Thursday morning where he was join- ed by his team mate who had been waiting for him for several days is the one who will attempt to shorten the time. His plan is to make it to New York in five days. If they do they will not know whether they are ii1- ing motor cycles or flying machines.
 Young Hageman W h o waited here for his partner had an experience in avia- tion near Socorro on his way here andit ended in a rock pile and a skinned nose. De- spite this fact he is enthusi- astic about the game and we hope that they win a. gainst time.

The bones in his wrist were split and the whole hand badly bruised. He is recovering nicely and 1t is extremely fortunate that his injuries were nc worse. Bill was unconscious for a good many hours after the fall, and several of the boys with him were also in- 'jured.

SNEAKTHIEVES AROUND

Last Monday Mrs. Wal lace Newman was unfOrtun- ate enough to loose several pieces of jewelry which she
 greatly prized, rings etc,
 during a short absence from the house. The belief is that it was one of a party of young fellows who were circulating in town getting subscriptions and saying that they wanted help to go thru the University. An effort was made to find them but they made themselves scarce and probably left in a machine. We of Holbrook are unaccustomed to com batting this style of sneak thievery, but it would seem to behoove us to keep a sharp lookout in the future.

Messrs. Axline and Baird of the Merchants and Stock Growers Bank together with a couple of other gentlemen left Saturday night for the country south on a short hunting trip. Unfortunate y they were not able to leave until after dark and as the roads in that section are rather confusing they missed the proper track and did not meet with friends who were awaiting their arrival. They were not fortunate en- ough to find any game, but MT. Axline says that the next time he goes hunting over those roads he will know where he is going. So that is something gained.

LARGE CONSIGNMENT
 OF LUMBER HERE

The Cooley Lumber Go. this week received one of the largest consignments of lumber ever shipped into Holbrook for a local firm. Three car loads of lumber were on the sidetrack this week billed to them. Two of them for the construct ion of the new Schuster warehouse and the third is for their we'll equipped stock room. But the way Manag- CT Cousins makes the build ings fly up to completion when he takes hold of a job is sufficient warrant that even this amount of lumber will not last long.

ALWAYS ON THE JOB

This week Deputy Sheriff w. G. Kelly of Winslow added to his laurels by cor railing a couple Iof Eyoung men and a girl of about nin- eteen whom he found taking a cross country tour in Hud- son car which was the prop erty of parties residing in Denver. The names of the two young men were Al Ste wart and James Gordon and the girl claimed to be Cord on's wife
 To show alert Kelly is, the car taken on Oct.7 in anoth- CT stateI and is.s.now held here. The party were capt. ured about four miles north |of the Chevelon Bridge bet ween Winslow and Holbrook by Kelly and Gardner last Sunday. They have waived extradition and the Color ado will soon reach Winsiow aud return home with the captives.
 This is but another inst ance of Deputy Sheriff Kell- tvs unwavering allegiance
 to duty. No. matter is too Involved, no case is too diff icult of solution, no trail
 too long to follow in the pur suance of his duties as an officer. He is the stuff from which notable sheriffs are
 made. Malice or spite prom pted by we know not what self interest or fear may att empt to injure such an off, icer, putin the minds of all thinking people there can be but one answer to it. He | is a capable and conscienti- ous officer of the law and consequently hated and feared by those who have sought to infringe upon it and have been thwarted by his acumen and allegiance
 to it.

A COMPANY
 WITH AN IDEAL

Mir. Jennings of the local auto company of that name has just secured the rights as distributor of the West inghouse Battery for use in autos, farm machinery, etc. In remarking upon the quail ties of the battery which he represents, Mir. Craig of Los Angeles said that Nesting house had so established the validity and worth of their name throughout the world and were so proud of the fact that they insisted that their product be worthy of the name it bears, and 1t is. Mir. Jennings is fortunate in having secured the distribut- ing agency as it links this section up with the Coast City.
 It is the pride and policy of the Westinghouse organiz ation to do things exception ally well, to build things un- usually good, and guard Westinghouse quality with more than ordinary zeal.
 Mir. Jennings has shown himself unusually active in procuring the very best for his customers and feels that this new guaranteed service is another addition which will prove the adequate answer to most battery needs.

A FEW REMARKS BY W. B. WOODS, THE M-|
 SURANCE MAN |

Many a time the big, square-jawed giant, with a complexion like a Ben Davis apple is a lot nearer the cemetery than the little hollow-chested shrimp with a hole in his lung that you could drop a cat through.
 How many times have you picked up the morning paper over your morning grape fruit and seen the picture of the buddy you pl yed bridge with only the night before last, and read that same old line that the city editor seems to always keep Standing" "The deceased ate a hearty dinner with his family and appeared to be in PERFECT HEALTH"
 My idea of hell would be for a man to wake up dead and realize that he had for. gotten or neglected, or been too bull-headed to take out enough insurance for the protection of his family.
 There never was a sound CT business proposition in- vented than insurance. If didn't have all the insurance l could possibly carry ] wouldn't sleep till l either got it, or got turned down. The New York Life Insur. ance Company offers you Safe, Sound and Modern Service!

SETTLEMENT RAIL
STRIKE Seen
President Harding Offers Plan For
settlement OF Nation. wide
Strike

New York, Aug. 1.-The conference
of railroad presidents assembled here
today to discuss President Harding's
proposal for settlement of nation wide
rail strike adjourned until this after
noon without taking action after Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover had pre-
scented the administration position.
Chicago, Aug. Executives of the
six federated shop crafts went into
conference today to consider Presi-
dent H%arding's proposals for q settle
ment of their strike. Chairman Ben
Hooper OF the labor board, was pres
ent at the meeting. He was met at
the train on his return from a con-
ference with the president and escort
ed by A. o. Wharton, labor member
OF the board, and b. N. Jewell, head
of the shop crafts.
Mr.. Hooper said that originally he
had no intention of being present at
the conference but had agreed to do
10 when urged by Mr.. Wharton and
Mr.. Jewell. He said he had no mes
sage to transmit from President Hard
ing and refused TO discuss the strike
other than to say that he did not plan

men apd oilers. Mr.. Jewell presided.
Chairman Ben w. Hooper of the Unit
ed States railroad labor board, also
was on hand and II was understood he
bore authority to speak for President
Harding in case IL became necessary.
The New York meeting included exc
cutives of 143 leading railroads.
The presidents plan, union officials
said, included restoration of seniority
rights to strikers subject to the rights
of men who stayed at work. Old en-
ployes who remained on the job would
gain such additional rights as they
acquired during the strike. AS men at
first laid off in slack times, many
workers who struck would lose assur
ance of steady employment. Men hir-
ed by the roads since the strike began
would be given only rights acquired
by them and would not have rights
above old men who went on strike.
Other provisions Of the peace plan
were that the shop men would accept
the recent wage reductions of the rail
road labor board pending a rehearing
by the board and that they would
agree to abide by decisions of the
board in future. The railroads were
to discontinue farming out" Of shop
work. The question of national and
regional adjustment boards to exped-
lite settlement Of labor disputes would
be discussed further.

State Bank
Law Held IdeaIistic

Discussing the proposed state bank
law before the league Of women voters
meeting held at Huron last week, Tom
Ayres, OF Mitchell, state manager of
the Nonpartisan League, presented the
argument in favor of the proposition,
while Fred II. Smith, of Platte, spoke
against the bank law.
II was generally conceded by those
present that Ayres failed to put his ar
gument over. as Il was plain to the ay-
erage person that he was arguing from
ma idealistic and socialistic point of
view, being SO impractical that he did
not appeal to the sound thinker.
In presenting the argument against
such a state bank law. Mr.. Smith took
up the proposition step by step and
showed the people that this law was
full of pitfalls and dangers and with
out question would destroy the good
credit of the state. Mr.. Smith stated
that much had been said about poll
tical machines" and that IL he could
read this law right II meant the install
lation of the most powerful and dan
gerous political machine ever dreamed
OF by the most radical thinkers. He
showed that the advocates OF this law
were absolutely impractical and So
cialistic.

r o A OF LIFE

Here we are at the crossroads.
There stands a radiant angel, who
directs all travellers. He is Con-
science. Stand back, for here rides
the warrior on his mettlesome steed.
Listen, He asks for the road to fame
and the angel says: ITO the left, but
do not go too far" Another comes in
great haste. 1t is the statesman!
What does he want? Oh, 1t Is power
he wants. ITO the left" the angel
says. but don't 90 too far" Again
another. Why 1t is the fnancier!
The road to fortune, he demands, and
again the angel says, ITO the left, but
don't go too far" Now a trav-
eller on foot, a workman with his bag
of tools upon his back. a child In his
arms and a woman by his side. What
road do you wish?" asks the angel.
1.-THE road to happiness" Then take
the road to the right" says the angel
with a smile. AT the end of the road
you will find heaven" The woman,
with the curiosity of Eve, turns and
asks the angel whittier the other road
leads and the angel answer her:
Ruin"
Fame! What is 1t? The most fam
Gus deed In history. I'M that has been
told for nearly 1000 years in every
village, hamlet and city In the world;
YES. ever among the savage tribes, and
It will be told as long az the world
lasts. This story Is the deed OF the
good Samaritan, who found his fellow
man robbed and wounded and left on
