A LUCKY ACCIDENT

A lucky accident might be called one in which there was every chance for sev- eral fatal injuries and yet from which all the people involved escaped with only scratches and bruises.
 Last Friday MT. Burger, wife and eight children borrowed a Ford and started out for a drive. When they were in the vicinity of the McLaws ranch only a few miles from Holbrook, and were about to cross a small bridge a bad hole in the road threw the car out of balance and caused it to over turn. All the occup- ants were thrown out im- mediately beneath the des- cending car. But here luck took a hand. The car caught by one of it's front wheels on the edge of the bridge and hung there. Only this lucky change sav- ed some of them from ser ious hurt.
 Mrs. Burger was rather badly bruised, but is all right at present, and none of the others were burt.

MAMIE CHAMBERLAIN / SUFFERS BROKEN LEG

The news has just reach ed Holbrook that Miss Mamie Chamberlln who is spending the summer in Pennington New Mexico with her moth CT and two sisters had the misfortune to break her leg in falling from an automo- bile.
 She was riding in a car and as it made a short turn her dog nearly fell out, in seek ing to save the animal, Mamie herself suffered a fall in which her leg was fractured between the hip and knee. She is doing very we'll in the way of recovery, but still 1t is not a very com fortable manner in which to
 
 spend ones vacation from school. This adds to the number of fractured limbs the Chamberlin girls have experienced so far, up to this time it had been confin- ed to broken arms, they hav- ing had five between the three, but Mamie hes branch ed out in a new direction.
 Mrs. Chamberlin has sent down some very wonderful fruit from the ranch in Pennington.

MT. Clossey says it is just as deep as ever, referring to the Grand Canyon. MT. and Mrs. Clossey of Adamana, were in Holbrook Wednes- day, enroute home from an automobile trip to the Big Crack. They say the roads are excellent and the view along the rim drive at the Canyon in un-excelled.
 MT. Clossey gave us a piece of the coral and grey blue formation from the Blue Forest near AdamaRa, which is a beauty. They took specimens with them on their trip to show to inquir- ing tourists. That is the sort of boosters this country needs.

THE OIL COLUMN

It wil be impossible to
 guarantee all items appear-
 ing under this heading, but
 the most nearly authentic news
 wiu be printed. Should
 rumoTed item appear, it will
 be labeled as such. Any an-
 nouncement from any of the
 company managers Uill be so
 designated. We will try to
 print all the oil neUs.
 The rumor is current that the management of the Zuni we'll proposes to move it's derrick to a position in the southern part of the field. This is supposed to be somewhere near the To- cation of the Black Canyon property, but this point is not known definitely. This would lead one to believe that the indications are much better in the southern part of the field. The move will take place Tn the near future we are informed.
 Fay Mills who was at one time in Holbrook passed through our city this week. He was enroute with his party from Granite Okla homa to the Coast. He had sold the gas we'll he drilled at Granite to the town.
 W.J. Hennessey who will be remembered by many in oil circles, was in Holbrook this past week. He came from Girard, Kansas to which place he had moved after completing two gas wells in Granite, Oklahoma.

AN EXTINCUISHER FOR
 MIR. FORDNEY

Our fellow townsman, MT. Koury, is in receipt of some recent letters from a New York correspondent of his which threw quite a little light on some of the doings of Congressman Fordney who is defending, so MT. Koury believes, a quite in- defensible position. The letters are from the firm of Cohen, Goldman & Go. and below we quote in part a clipping enclosed by them from the New York Times of July 2, 1922.
 Trying to defend the proposed tariff on wool and woolens seems to be a more or less hopeless task. But there are still those who rush in where angels fear to tread.' Among the mum. Der of such is Congressman t'ordney, the head of the Ways and Means Committee who has some responsibil ity for the tariff measure now b e in g considered. Goaded by some constitu- ents, who sent him state
 ments that the new wool duties would make suits cost $4 and. overcoats $7. 50 more, he addressed a letter to the local firm of Cohen, Goldman & Co.,, which was responsible for the calcula- tion. In this letter he told the firm that the proposed wool duty was the same as in the Dingeiy and Payne. Aldrich tariff bills, and he added that the other state ments by the firm were "equally unsound and un- truthful" MT. Fordney was not wise in writing this letter. It afforded William Goldman, the head of the firm, and an authority in wool matters, the opportu- nity not only to show that Mir. Fordney was not tell ling the truth, but also that he was not. In support of this, he quoted the remarks of MT. Forney himself in an address in the House of Representatives eleven years ago. The result is tC but MT. Fordney is a very bad light. It is not a case of ignorance but of willfuI

Last Tuesday night Har- old Bell Wright, the famous novelist and his party were in Holbrook. With the writer were his three sons and MT. McCullum of Winslow. They have been spending some time in Flagstaff and came on here for a trip to the Petrified Forest.
 MT. Wright was in Hol- brook severalyears ago when he made an extended tour of this part of the country. The party came originally from one of MT. Wright's ranches which is situated at Tucson.
 Harold Bell Wright as a novelist is extremely popular with a large number of American readers. Many of his books deal with this DOT tion of the United States and have a peculiar interest for people living here. His best known works perhaps, are The Winning of Bar bara Worth, When a Mans a Man, and Eyes of the World. In our humble opin. ion none of them. however compare with his earlier anC little know book entitled 'Tht Calling of Dan Mathews.

THE SLOUCHY MAN
NEEDS A LIFT
Has Clogged Blood and Should Take
Guides Pepto-Mangan

The man who walls with a slouch
usually has heavy, dull expression
on his face. The eyelids droop in a
lazy, langu;d way and he goes around
feeling dead most of the time. Bad
blood, all clogged up with poisons
from the system, makes a man feel
that way.
That man with bad blood has let
himself get in q run down condition.
He has overdone somehow, either
physically by straining, trying to do
too much, or mentally, by worrying,
doing without sufficient sleep. He
needs new blood. Gude's Pepto-Man-

rather with the conception that the

An ancient evil, and persistent

that 1t does so persist. Even as I

suspension Of several firms from the
New York Produce Exchange for ex-
porting to Germany as No. 9 wheat a
whole shipload of grossly inferior wheat
mixed with oats, chaff and the like.
Another evil Is that Of inaccurate
weighing Of farm products. which, II
Is charged, Is sometimes a matter of
dishonest intention and sometimes of

local buyer. who fears that he may

A greater grievance Is that at pres
ent the field farmer has little or NO
control over the time and conditions
OF marketing his products with the
result that he is often underpaid for
his products and usually overcharged
for marketing service. The differ
ence between what the farmer re,
ceives and what the consumer pays
often exceeds all possibility of justi
fication. To cite single Illustration.
