ON CONDITIONING YoUsELF.

James Allen, in his most elevating
little book, LAS a Man Thinketh," says
this: "A man is not rightly condi-
toned until he is a happy, healthy,
and prosperous being; and happiness
health, and prosperity are the result
of a harmonious adjustment of the in
ner with the outer, of the man with
his surroundings"
And the way to begin to condition
yourself so that you may stand strong
and clean. is to cast from you and out
of you those things which have a ten
dency to pull you down and to hold
you back.
The good sport doesn't whine or
complain. He takes his medicine and
it makes him well, He stands as one
fit and separate from the ordinary
crowd.
He adapts his mind and actions to
existing circumstances and makes the
most of himself
Every day he creates a new world
in which to live and work. And he
gathers about him, by his example Of
cheerfulness and enthusiastic faith.

Even the material body is wonder

power that flows thru the blood as the
result OF noble and courageous think

the sou1 is given as the body rises out
of its weaker self
A great character is the finest work
of a man. And nothing but infinite
patience and never lessening courage

WINSLOW WINS AGAIN

After much unsuccessful effort the
manager of the local ball club took
on a representative team from Gal
lup in order to give home fans a
chance TO celebrate Sunday. The
Winslow team was not at it's best,
and came near losing what proved
to be a rather uninteresting game
to the dusky warriors from the Car
bon City. Captain Clark's aggrega-
ton was two runs behind at the last
of the ninth inning. Wright and
Burns and a triple by Virgins, how
yer, put the game on ice. Pitcher
Parke begun the game but it is ev-
ident that he has not as yet attained
the good form that was his last
year. Wright pitched the last two
innings.
The coming week Winslow plays
at Williams and from all reports a
good crowd of enthusiasts will ac-
company them.
The box score of Sundays game
is as follows:

FORD SALES BIG

According to report lust receiv
ed from the Ford Motor Company.

tail sales of Ford cars and trucks
had been reached by the close of
April in the United States alone.
Ford sales of cars and trucks for
the month. including both domos.ic
and foreign, totalled 127 249 This

ceeding the largest previous month,
June, 1921 by 15,467
The total of Fordson tractors has
also been steadily climbing. A total
of 11,1S1 Fordsons were sold during
April in the United States, daily
average of 496 having been reached
the end of the month. This gives
the tractor new high sales record,
and shows 100 per cent. increase
over the best month in 1921.
The Ford Company is enjoying A
banner year in all departments. Out
put of Ford cars and trucks for the
year, according to present estimates,

Despite the attempt of the factory
and the twenty-three assembling
plants IN the United States to prod
uce a sufficient number of cars to
meet the unusually heavy demand, j.
has been impossible for Ford dealers
i'll most cases TO make immediate de-
