or possess for sale, any utensil, con-
trivance. machine, preparation, COM
pound. tablet, substance, formula, di-
rection or recipe advertised, designed

strued to prevent the manufacture,
sale, possession or use of sweet cider
or. vinegar, or the presses or machin-
cry for the manufacture of such cider,
vinegar or fruit juices as provided by

Mr.. Gambrill and other liberals
maintain that the exemption with re-
gard to the manufacture and posses
sion of "sweet cider" is an academic
privilege as the time for which cider
endures in it's pristine state of sweet
ness is but fieeting.

League Felt GambrilPs Blow.
Now. when Mr.. Gambrill got to
talking about farmers and farmers
wives and what the enforcement act
would do to the denizens of the vir-
tuous rural regions-though the gen.
tleman from Howard used no such
phrase-he hit the Anti-Saloon League
right where it lives and the League
felt the force of the blow. 1t may be
all very we'll to punish with vigor the
bibulous city-dweller; it may be the
essence of equity to deprive him OF
his "home-brew," yet to deprive the
country people-champion of the
League-nf their light" (and home
made) wines and cider is quite an
other thing and serious infraction OF
rustic rights.
The League leaders, however, do not
meet the Gambrill attack, which is evi-
IDENTIFY getting some favorable reac-
ton in the counties by any native ad-
mission that the law is intended to be
enforced against certain classes OF
the citizenry and not against others.
Cider. the League people seem to
think. cider made on the premises and
not transported, is in class by it
self, but home brew" can claim no
such tolerance, as witness Section IL

DARK HORSE" IN THE

No, this is not political dope, but news from auto- mobile row. The "dark horse" is a brand new make 0f car known as the Durant. In the language of the race track "its a comer."
 The Durant is manufact- u1 ured in Lansing, Michigan. The first shipment n a le to Holbrook consists of Durant Fours. They are all Of, the touring car model. All but or one have already been sold. They are classy looking cars that should give good ser- vice in this country. It has a stylish look and possess es excellent equipment.

DON'T DO IT!

There IS one thing which happens very often around Holbrook which is going to have serious consequences if it is not stopped, and that is the habit the boys have ac- quired of running after auto mobiles and hanging on be- hind in the tire rack. It may be fun, but some day a sad accident is going to occur from such a thing. The driver will not be to blame, for naturally no one has eyes in the back of his head, but rest assured anyone would feel badly to be the agent, no matter how unintention- ally in injuring a child. But the chief blame will lie in the lack of realization of danger and the spirit of mischief and fun that is rampant in every healthy boy.
 It must be the place of mothers and fathers and friends to warn the young. |sters that such practices are dangerous. If a friendly warning is not sufficent. make it more stringent. A chiids life is endangered every time he steals a ride on the back of a moving car You would not hesitate t( reprimand or punish a chile severely if you caught hin stealing a ride on a freigh' train, stealing rides on th' rear of moving automobile' is just as dangerous.

WELL KNOWN AUTHOR
 HERE

Late last week MT. Har- riman, a we'll known author from the Coast, stopped in HolbrOok for a short time. He paid a flying visit at the Teeple home, and promised a longer one on his return. From here he journeyed to St. Johns and Springerville, and the following clipping from the St. Johns Obser- yer describes the members of his party.
 "A number of notables were here this week plan- ing fishing parties or out ings. Among them were Henry Herbert Nibbs, noted writer, of Los Angeles, who will rest and recreate in the White Mountains for the next two months; Chas. Tyler, a writer of juvenile stories and magazine stories, from Boston; James Will ard Schultz, author of Ind ian stories, from his butter 1ylodge at Greer; E. E. Hartman, from Los Ange- les, writer of western stor- ies and contributor to many we'll known magazines. In an interview, MT. Hartman said: I drank the Hassay- ampa water two years ago, but notin the right position to affect my veracity, but it has exercised its famous pull; 1 am back again and there is every likelihood that 1 shall become a victim of the yearly habit'.'' 7

ACUNNINC PET

He was just a round little bundle of animated fur that looked like nothing in the world so much as a collie pup. He whined and cried, and when you didn't hold him just to suit his majesty, he would make use of some of the sharpest teeth that were ever bestowed upon an animal. Everyone who saw him wanted him as a pet, for he was mighty cunning in his independent little way.
 What was he? Just a tiny coyote which had been captured by some boys in the neighborhood of Snow flake. Max Pennington is his owner at present.

FOUR THOUSAND D0LLARSF0R FOUR
 THOUSAND POUNDS OF ROCK Valuable Meteor Found Near Sanders

to ship the huge meteor to the Field Museum from which he will obtain a dollar a pound for the 4000 pounds of his find. The value of the stone, aside from its history, lies in the fact that it is composed largerly of nickle and lead. It is of an ataxites formation.
 This section of Arizona seems to have been literally bombarded at some period of its history by a veritable shower of shooting stars or meteors. About ten years ago one passed over Hol- brook in it's fall and eXplod- ing just east of town buried its fragments over a c0nsl- derable area near Aztec. It was a most spectacular hap pening and thoroughly con- vinced the. writer that it was just as we'll not to live in an age of too many shoot ing stars. The huge crater at the Meteor Mine bears mute testimony to the tre- mendous force and size of some of these ancient sky derelictS.

WHATS IN A NAME?'

MT. C. J. Gaupp of Phoe- nix, who travels for the American Tobacco Co. was in Holbrook Wednesday. He sp9cializes in III cigarettes and Penn's Chewing Tobacco.
 We were curious and ask ed how the name III came to be attached to the smokes and he told us that there were two reasons. In that he was generous, for one would have been enough for us. The first reason was that it was the street num- Der of their office building and the second was because there were three kinds of tobacco blended to make it. 1 for mildness, Virginia, 1 for mellowness. Burley, 1 for aroma. Turkish. Now you know as much about it as we do. But don't you sometimes wonder how they get trade marks and such like?

HOLBROOK CHAMBER OF
 COMMERCE MEETS

The Holbrook c. of C. met in the Court Room on Monday evening with Mir. Chamberlin presiding. The session was taken up largely with the discussion of road matters. Several communi- cations from different part ies were read relative to the Gallup road. Both sides seem to have covered the matter rather conclusively. No definite action has ever been taken in this matter, and it does not seem to be the concensus of opinion that there should be. An article appearing in the Kingman Miner which excited great animus was discussed and it appearing that no one had ever printed it in Holbrook or fathered 1t in any public way that it might as we'll be disregarded.
 The matter of a municipal camp ground was again dis cussed and the committee was ordered to continue with their work. That signs in and around Holbrook were a necessity was generally con- ceded by those present, and it was ordered by the or ganization thatcertain signs be made and set up so that all roads near town might be plainly marked.
 Another important deci- sion that met with gene. ral approval was the deter, animation to continue the eff fort to obtain some part of the five and a half million dollars appropriated by the forestry department fol roads through it's domain It was pointed out that 3s miles of road over towards Pleasant Valley fell into this classification as there were no taxable lands bordering it which could be levied or to help in road up-keep.
 It is to be sincerely hoped that the Chamber will be successful in their first eff fort to further the gooC roads in this vicinity, a: there is no greater asset t. a community or state as { whole.

A dollar a pound for stone or rock! That looks as if it were a pretty stiff price, doesn't it? But you must understand that this is no ordinary malapi. It is the sort of rock that you are lucky enough to find only once in a blue moon. In short it is a meteor.
 Mir. B. K. Thomas of Grip pie Creek, who came to this section of the country to test the Mineral Waters at Maya jo, is the gentleman who made the deal in rock. He has acquired possession of a huge meteor, which fell near Sanders in the vicinity of Navajo, nobody knows how many ages ago. Later the Indians discovered the great stone which they recognized as different from all others, and to which they accorded a superstitious worship. They covered it up to secure it from profane observation, but it was later discovered, eXcavated and carried to Navajo.
