Auto Struck by Train. Four Former Resi-
 dents of Navajo County Killed.
Tragic Fatality in Southern Part of State

1 Four former residents of this county are dead as the result of a collision between a passenger train on the Arizona Eastern, and the automobile in which they were riding. The fatal ac- cldent occurred at Websters Crossing, near Globe. The dead: MT. and Mrs. c. J. Hatch of Ashurst, Arizona, Mrs. EFT. Bryce of Ashurst, Arizona, Andrew Brown of Fort Thomas, Arizona.
 The party was returning from church at Thatcher, last Sunday morning. The driver, Dewey Bryce, was the only member to escape injury. He was driving the car, and on seeing the rapid ly approaching train, jump. led to safety.
 The Matches were very well known here. MT. Hatch was one of a large family, |all of whom were raised in this county, and many of his immediate family are still resident in Woodruff and Snowflake.
 Andrew Brown leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his untimely end, his closest relative being his father who is working for Senator w. A. Saunders at Springerville. Mrs. Bryce also was well known in this neighbourhood.
 An accident as terrible as this one. certainly should call the attention of the rail- ways to the necessity for policing or guarding the blind grade crossings. Some method of prevention of similar accidents must be de- vised for the immediate future.

"The above statistical report has been respectfully submitted by Miss De Gomez. Normal Minus is that number of children who have not any definite defect but are either slightly underweight have teeth tonsls or eyes which need watching. Teeth, Tonsis, and Eyes, those which are definitely defect i've and need correction.
 The very high percentage of underweight should challenge the attention of all those interested in the gress of the Holbrook school children No doubt this underwegt due to various such as lack of pro- per rest and sleep poorly balanced diet with little cows milk which IS necessary to the proper develop ment of growing children, and irregular habits The best suggestion one can make for overcoming this condition to have hot lunches put into the schools or milk at for those badly underweght and the teaching of health habits
 Surely well qualified school nurse or Community" nurse would be an immense help in meeting the local needs"
 The above is Miss de Gomez unbiased opinion of the state affairs that confront all the parents and the public large that interested in the welfare of the coming lgeneration Manutron is foe to athletics and scholar ship and to give children the full benefits due their youth they must be in the very best condition physically that it is possible for them to be. | Underweight does not necessarily mean that the child IS not fed enough there too many things that enter in to the problem. The proper kind of food is as
 important as the amount It cannot be too strongly urg- ed upon the patrons of the school and in fact all the ct- of the town, that community would be of
 infinite value in her relation to the people of cur town Miss de Gomez work while here characterized by great thoroughness and efficiency and wish to take this opportunity of thanking her publicly for the same She was ably seconded by the help she received Dr. Baze gave great aid in giving his medical skill without remuneration in the matter of the chdrens physical animation.
 We all hope that when it is Miss de Gomez for tune to return this way that may have proted by her advice that report the school next time will be ! 100 per cent perfect.

Fl Paso Clothing Statesmen Marooned in Snow. Ears and Feet FroStbitten.
Sufferers Rescued by Indians

The general conception o Arizona is a place of cacti. rat tlesnakes. dust, and heat, heat and more heat. But there are two clothing salesmen from E Paso who will freely and emDh. atically state that it IS the snow fest, co.dest spot on the habit able globe, thus disproving tra' dition.
 During last weeks cold snap. while travelling from Keams Canyoa to Ma .ha-tee Canyon their car became disabled and they were obliged to remain for several days at the latter place Glen Heward picked them up at this spot and their story from them on was to say the least, full of incident.
 It took 12 gallons of gas to make Al miles over such heavy roads. Fourteen miles from Hol- brook, out of gas. they found an Indian camp and sent mes- ssnser in to town for help. Too close contact with the campfire burned their shoe soles a d turned . slight case of frost bite into the real article. Both men sported cauliflower ears of un- precsdented size after their ex- perisnce, and only one was able to continue his journey immedia- tsly.
 MT. E. Cletseway ard MT. M. Silverman are the gentlemen who will in the future, be glad to testify that Arizona is not all sand and heat. but sometimes snow and cold,

ACE AND THlMBLE CLUB

The last meeting of the Ace and Thimble Club was held at the home of Mrs. Holcomb. There were pre- sent enough ladies to keep three card tables warm. Ard they did it. More good candy was consumed during the afternoon than it would take to run a small confectionery store for a week.
 At the end of the after noon's session at cards the club went into a brief ex- ecutive meeting and decided to give a dance on the 18th of February for the benefit of the school gymnasium. The tickets will be S1. co plus 10 cents war tax. All part. icipants arerequested to ap- pear in overalls or aprons. There will be good music, and during the evening box. es of candy will be disposed of to the highest bidders. The candy will be made by the different members of the club, and if it is of the same brand that is served at theil afternoon affairs, the editor can vouch for its delicious ness.
 Everybody come out an( help the ladies of the club il their effort to buy suitabl' equipment for the athleti department of the school.

ARIZONA CATTLE
 GROWERS ASSOCIA-
 TON CONFINES

The annual Convention of the Arizona Cattle Growers Association will be held at Globe, Arizona, on February 23rd and 24th, 1922. All the cattlemen of Arizona are urged to be present and take part in the meeting.
 The convention is being advertised among the buy CTS of Arizona cattle, a large number of whom will be present at the meeting and will, in all probability, be in position to contract steers for spring delivery. The cattlemen who have cattle for sale for spring delivery will therefore find it to their great advantage to come to the meeting and talk with these buyers.
 Problems of tremendous importance affecting the cattlemen of Arizona are to be considered. An immedi- ate reduction in freight rates and taxes is of the ut most importance, as we'll as measures looking toward an increase in the consumption of meat. Steps toward re- lieving the financial condi- tion of the livestock interest will be taken. A new Con- stitution for our Association will be considered. A com mittee has been appointed by the Arizona Wool Crow ers' Association to confer with our members at the convention on a possible consolidation of the two As. sociations. Matters relat- ing to grazing on the Nat ional Forests will be discuss ed. The big question of i'm. proved conditions of mark eting our cattle will feature a part of our proceedings
 We also have interesting things to discuss on tariff and public domain grazing, on the activities of our As. sociation during the past year and on the convention of the National Association

BASKET BALL PLAYERS HAVE SUCCESSFUL
 EVENING

Last Friday night, the fans were served a feast in the form of two larg e score games, in both of which the home team was on the long end.
 The High School boys from Gallup were good, clean sportsmen, but they were outclassed. The local lads seemed to score at will, and any time the coal town team managed to reach the bask- ct, it was a relief to the spectators.
 Individual mention must be made of the clever pass ing of Louis Divelbess to George Hastings and vice versa, the ease with which Fraser scored from any and every position, the guard work of Joe Woods and the general all-round good work |of Arnold Lee, this in spite of his sprained ankle. The official score was 67 to 10, which by the way, was a much larger score than the Albuquerque Hi were able to defeat the same team.
 The game between the Winslow Elks and the Hol- brook town team furnished no little amusement. Again the local team was too strong for it's opponents, but the Winslow Best People took the defeat in good part One of the rail road town boys was recovering from a ser ious accident on the football field, and in the second half was unable to continue. As
 there was no spare, the game was called off with the score standing 62 to 15 in favor ot
 Holbrook. This big score
 was made through team
 work, and more team work
 As usual, Tommy and Chas
 HatEorne were instrumenta
 in thescoring. Dee Dewitt:

 helped to fool the Winslov lads. It was either three O. four lights he knocked ou while jumping for the ball Speck "Finnegan" was al , ways on the job. and Tomm, Isaacson played a dand, game. Let's stack thes , boys up against a real tougl ! team.

Parents Urged To Encourage
Boys And Girls Club Work

The problem OF keeping the boys
and girls interested in the farm, is
one of the most serious economic
questions OF the day, and on that
should intend not only the parents
but every farmer and business man
i'll Dorchester County, says County
Agent, E. w Montell.
The boys and girls clubs are form
ed throughout the County primarily
with the objects of keeping them in
terested in the farm and making bet
ter farmers and farmers wives.
A campaign is being put on, to
revive the interest of the boys in the
club work. and the parents can help
the situation by encouraging the
boy. to join one of the clubs and by
furnishing him pig, few chickens,
or a piece of ground. The boy
should then be encourag ged to de-
velop his project, allowed to sell the
products of his labor, and keep the
proceeds after deducting the origin
al cost, rent, or feed. Remember
that the boy will soon be man, and
eventually you will need a partner to
help run the farm and where could
you find better one than your son?
