C.OF (. .DlRECTORSM MEET

Last week the Directors of the Holbrook Chamber of Commerce held their special meeting in the law offices of c. H. Jordan.
 The first matter taken up for their consideration was concerning the fine pictures and the advertising plan for Holbrook put forward by the talented photographer MT. Radcliffe. It was decided that although the plan and the pictures were both ad- mirable, it was impossible for the club in it's present state to finance any plan calling for so much money.
 The only other matter of importance which came be- fore the Directors was that of filling the place of Mir. Pincetl, who has moved to Winslow, on the Board of Directors. Mir. Prescott, the local representative of Bab- bitt Brothers, was chosen for the position.

SHERIFF NEWMAN GOES
 SNIPE HUNTING

This is an old fashioned sport, snipe hunting. but the kind Sheriff Newman engaged in had new-fangled attachments.
 On last Sunday four young Mexican boys. one of whom lives in Holbrook, the rest of Winslow, came up from that town on No. 8. They im- mediately proceeded to the Chinese restaurant run by Wong Quong and while the owner was absent helped themselves to sundry edibles and decamped. Miss Rose Scorse called the sheriffs of. flee and gave the alarm and Sheriff Newman and his son Wesley started out after the truants. Finding that the boys had headed east along the Little Colorado they out flanked them by the use of a car and on reaching the grove of cotton woods east of town the sheriff and his son sat down to wait for the fugitives. Soon they ap- peared with Mir. Clemmons in hot pursuit, but losing ground as the boys discard ed their loot with a prodigal hand to make their going easier. He discharged his revolver to halt them, but it merely gave wings to their feet and they fairly flew over the ground to the spot where the sheriff and his aid were holding the bag open for the snipe. They promptly fell into, the trap and are now in jail meditat- ing on the uncertainties of life and the foolishness of obtaining a picnic lunch by stealth. Mir. Newman says that it was the first snipe hunt he ever attended where the snipe actually ran into the bag.
 The boys range in age from 13--.-l7 years.

WILL SCORSE RETURNS
 FROM LOS ANGELES

Mir. Will Scorse returned from a flying trip to Los Angeles and Pasadena on Tuesday of this week. He says that he had a wonder full time even if it was only a short time. He reports that Mrs. ScOrse and the boys are all in the best of health and tells us that El- len has gained 10 pounds. That is fine for her, but the editor is very glad that it is Mrs. Scorse and not the edi- tor who has the added aver dupois.

PARODY ON THE 23rd
 PSALM

Harding is my shepherd, and l am in want;
 He maketh me to lie down on park benches,
 He leadeth me beside free soup houses;
 He restoreth my doubt in the Republican Party.
 He leadeth me in the path of destruction for his party's sake.
 Yea, though l walk thru the valley of the starvation, l do fear evil, for thou art against me. The politicians, and profiteers they frighten me.
 Thou prepareth a reduc- tion in salaries, before men in the presence of mine en- emies; thou anointed my income with taxes, my ex- penses runneth over my in- come.
 Surely unemployment and poverty, will follow me all the days of the Republican administration, and l will dwell in a rented house for ever"

PETRIFICADO'S NOTE
 BOOK

There is a great deal of comment by the big dailies around these parts eulogiz- ing the Raisin industry, which 1 presume is occasion ed by the celebration of Raisin Day held at Fresno, April the 27th. One editor ial writer comes forth with the statement that there are 13,0OO Raisin Growers in California and he adds that in six years the No. will be doubled, 1 cannot help but think that if this ratio is kept up until Bryan is elect ed President some of the best cow country in Ariz- ona will be turned over to raising Raisins. They tell one there is a reason for eating Raisins, the Postum people says at the bottom |of their add, There's a reason" but who wants any Postum--Ugh 1 notice that the birds do not ever eat any of those raisins, I guess they are afraid they will get to much Iron in their system and not be able to fly, but anyway all these people around here are rais- ing their children to raise Raisins.
 Through an error of the Post Master here 1 received a post card with the picture of a bear on it and the words Stockton Parlor No. 7, N.S.G.W. of course I under stood that the letters MS. CIV. Stood for "Nutty Sons of Goofy Widows" but | I was kinda puzzled to understand how they got the parlors and the bears mixed up with the widows.
 Along the level stretches of meadow land adjoining the Right-of-way where we are working the farmers have cut their first crop of Alfalfa for 1922 and have it all shocked, and even as this is being written one can hear the hum and whirr of the shock absorbers talk ling the shocks away to make room for the second crop, verify this country is shock ingly progressive.

MAY DAY CELEBRATION

COMMENTING enthusiastically on the annual
Easter egg rolling in Washington, an editorial
writer in that city mourns the fact that other color
tM celebrations and American folk customs have
wven allowed to die out. The writer concludes:
II someone could inaugurate May Day custom
equally spontaneous, entertaining and coorful it
would be public service to the district There
might be some suggestion in the May Day festi-
vtes OF German or Russian peasants"
Alas for the nations capital Has it never seen
Maypoe' Have its children never filled MAY
baskets with flowers? Has it never witnessed the
crowhng of May Queen amid throngs of happy
youngsters in a public park?
AS for Old World May Day customs-perhaps
German and Russian peasants could teach us some
particularly joyous festivities for such an occasion.
But it is interesting to remember that on the con-
tinent of Europe, in this country, the month OF
May is regarded as the last month of spring In
England it is the first month of summer and MAY
Day is the first day of summer. The old English
cusoms-the morris dancers the Maypoe Robin
Hood and his Merry Men, Maid Marian, villagers
trooping to the woods gather flowers and dancing
for JOY at the coming of summer-offer wealth and
variety OF suggestions for Maytime celebration which
are well known to any reader OF English literature
\ revival OF OF the pastimes OF the an
cient May Day observance might be good thing
for azz-weary civilization The revival shouldn't
be such difficult matter, either for even in color
less and busy America they have not yet been wholly
lost

BertonB BraleyS Daily Poem
THE DAREDEVIL

Fate is q sort Of hard old dame
With a bleak and a wntry frown
AS if her one and her only aim
Were staring your courage down;
And brave is the man who meet her stare
And answer it dauntlessly, glare for glare
OF tempered steel is his spirit made
Who covers no whit at chance
But grim and dogged and unafraid
Battles with circumstance,
And 50 goes on with his great endeavor,
Steadfast, stubborn and stern ever
But bravcr still is the man who turns
A humorous eye at Fate,
Who erins and chuckles when he dlscerns
Her venom and wrath and hate;
Whatever the game, he will stand the gaff
Who can look in the face OF Fate-and
laugh.

EVERYBODY'S GHOST

WHILE Conan Doyle and the rest of the noted
lecturers going around telling people there's
to be afraid of death or ghosts or anything,
and one way another getting everybody to pom
dering and wasting lot OF time wondering whether
there really ghosts, Ellis Parker Butler in the
American Magazine is telling people all about
Ghosts What Amt.
Mr. Butler says everybody has EN-. And every
body suffers from them-until he kills them. Be-
cause this kind OF ghost be killed and buried
and need never rise again They are your fears Of
what's going to happen-and never does.
onah, he says, took the boat because he was
afraid that camel might bite him or make him
seasck something. So he ended in the whale.
II he had killed his ghost-what-ain't he might have
gone the camel in comfort
The young man who is afraid the man he has
to may turn him down needs to kill his ghost
In cases like this, he it the "ghost-what-
are OF what his employer will do ii he doesn't see
the man and do his best to get the order.
There is the ghost OF being afraid the other fell
lows will wear something different to the party,
and the ghost OF being afraid TO tackle buying a
home because you might get sick and miss monthly
payment-and all the rest
The surest thing about all these ghosts is their
unreality little spunk disposes OF every last one
OF them.

MISTAKEN FRIENDSHIP

MISTAKEN friends do as much harm as false
ones, if they get into serious action along the
lines OF their mistakes More than $4,000 is said
have been raised a single meeting, in this coun-
try addressed by Countess Constance Markevz in
behalf Of the Irish Republic
The Free State, said the1 countess was step
backward.
In the sense that it was stepping back from Eng
sh rule, and out from under it, possibly she was
right. But this was not the way in which she
meant it.
The real step backward would be into the civil
war which is being fomented by uncompromsing
adherents OF the republican cause. Ii the present
riots and disturbances take the form of civil war
England will be obliged to step in again. This time
she will do so with the sympathy and approval OF the
world and the whole struggle will have to be gone
through over again.

OUR FIRST YEAR
By a Bride

an--one more harmless and pleasant
familiarity was denied me.
Probably Il viking was by nature a
fierce and tempestuous lover. Bart
certainly did that part of his rehearsal
extremely well. Doubtless he had to
be rude and compelling, so L didn't
scold him for overacting. To remon'
strate would have been to assume toe
much, as if l were taking personally
what Bart intended for art.
After our rehearsal. l wished 1t were
not too late for me to refuse to take
the part of the vikings bride. / had
always loved my work at the Little
Playhouse.
l never had imagined that the time
would come when | would not care to
act. But suddenly | found myself woe
fully distressed by the business of my
part, and positively annoyed because
Bart was making love TO me hotly,
madly like a Norseman of the 10th
century.
Marriage had made me self-conscious
What Jack would say when he saw
the stage business in "Sloal" worried
me. | couldn't get rid of my part foi
the simple reason that there was M
other girl in the company who coul(
take ii.
After the rehearsal, came an after
noon OF sewing on the costumes. wa!
tired enough when the work was done
so weary that | hoped Bart would talk
me home in his car, as he always hat
done-before l was married
But he did not. And his neglect o
an old custom astonished me. He drov
off with his queen mother" And
felt more than annoyed. Never hat
Bart put another girls comfort befor
mine! Another Of my girlhood priv
ilegcs had been stripped from me b.
marriage.
Tears came TO my eyes as I left tn
playhouse and walked home alone.

that when a girl marries, she ought to

daily that | was not equal to my job!
After Jack had gone TO work, | sat
down to figure out how much could

you've set aside certain sum for food
