 At a meeting held We'd nesday night in the school gym, and most ably presid- ed over by Mrs. Jesse Hulet, several speakers forcefully propounded the menace to health of the fly and the general unsightliness of tin can alleys and rubbish bord- cred highways.
 Mir. Lee in his speech as- sured the Womans Club of the hearty cooperation of the Town Council. Mr. Farr added points of value in re- gard to the fly extermina- tionSplan and the value of tree planting to a commu- nity, while Mir. w. E. Fer guson held a brief against

TO MOVE STORE SOON

MT. Henry Scorse informs us that it is his intention to move his stock of goods from it's old location to the corner store room of the new building just being erected on Porter Street. This will be done as soon as the structure is completed. He will also move the val uable exhibit of ancient pot tery which was collected by the elder Mir. Scorse, to a safe location in the Il e W building. Properly housed and protected this would be one of the best exhibitions to be seen anywhere in the country and should be val ued by the townspeople as such.
 Mir. Scorse also has plans under way for the occup. ancy of the Movie House he has added to the east side of the new building.
 The Rees restaurant vii occupy the room next to the store on Porter St. while the remainder of the struct ure has been let as office rooms.

 Miss Bouton, of the Uni versity Extension work was present and paid a most glowing tribute to the men of the town for their inter- est in such matters for the public good. With the as- sistance of Professor Bran nigan she exhibited pictures of the fly in all his horrible filth. No one, after having seen these slides, can with equanimity view the intrud- Ing fly calmly paradlng a. cross his bread and butter. It's death to the fly in Hol- brook.

hlR. R. |. NEWMAN OUR SHERIFF.
 CORNERS THE PRUhIE MARKET
Try This Record On Your Victrola, Papa,
 Potatoes, Prunes and Prisms

1.-the price of dried prunes hasn't "riz" in Holbrook lately there is nothing in the law of supply and de- mand. The demand for them must have been enormous and our efficient Sheriff and his deputy cornered enough of them last Saturday to last a New York boarding house for sixteen years.
 They, still referring to the prunes, were long past their usefulness as table fruit but were just acquiring the kick necessary to satisfy those who, to paraphrase an old saying "look upon the mule when it is white" " More than that you could smell them a mile.
 On last Friday the Sheriff discovered the still, a very crude homemade affair, the principal parts of which seemed to be an old keg a five gallon oil can with a spout, some bent copper tub ing and a half baked tortilla. No Susan. The toriilla is not for you to bite on. 1t was merely a crude manner of retaining the steam. When not in use the whole con- raption was concealed be- meath the bedroom floor.
 The mash from which the delectable? nectar was drawn was most artfully concealed.
 The sheriff took the re- porter into a rock house, dirt Hoored, and said;
 "The barrels are here. Look around. Do you see 'em?"
 We looked and we didn't which latter we admitted and in so doing proved our self no sleuth. A couple of shoyels yielded most effect ively by Mr. Newman, and Mir. Q. c. Williams soon turn ed back about ten inches of dirt on the room floor and there in a tarpaulin covered crypt, were more stewed?--- beg pardon, meant to say soaked prunes than we ever saw in one place in our life before.
 The Sheriff brought the whole outfit to town from it's location about a mile and a half east and slightly south of Holbrook. In addition to their stock in trade, he brought in Q Mexican and three women, his mother, wife and sister. On We'd nesday the man Was senten- ced. The women were bound over to the Superior Court.
 Sheriff Newman needs no pcaise from us as an officer, but we claim that it is a su- perior sleuth who can un- cover evidence under ten inches of Arizona 'dobe.

PARK TO PARK HIGHWAY MEETING
 OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Meeting to Discuss Project Well Attended

The Holbrook Chamber of
 Commerce held a called
 meeting in the Court House last Friday evening. The
 meeting was held primarily to afford an opportunity for a discussion, with it's repre- sentative, of the Park to Park Highway project. A large and keenly interested crowd of Holbrook's citizenry was present.
 MT. Putney, head of the Putney interests in Albu- querque and at present presi- dent of the c. of c. in that city, was at the meeting and in response 10 a call for his opinion on the matter in hand delivered a straight to the shoulder argument of telling force in behalf of a live wire c. of c. Mr. Put ney should have been a law yer, at least he speaks to the point.
 The next speaker, MT. Morrell, representing the Park to Park Highway or ganization made a very com plete case for his plan. A lariat-like circle of roads, all hard surfaced, which will join the great national play grounds or parks, is the dream of this organization. There will be 5000 miles of road on this great highway, of which is already hard sur faced, touching 152 towns, Holbrook among the num- Der.
 The vast amount of money the "private owned Care tourist will bring to thy can be estimated bn the following figures. 10. 1921 there were I,272, 00" sightseers passing over the of which 65 percent travelled by automobile. It has been estimated that each tourists expenses average $500 a day. Figure it up for yourself and see if it isn't worth while to "sell the tourist. To do this Mr. Morrell asserts we must pro- vide adequate and comfort camping grounds, see that prices are not eXtortionate, and first last and all the time, build good roads.
 Other points touched upon were the naturalization of signs, making them uniform ly helpful and urging feder- al legislation to provide an advertising fund to induce the tourists to see America first. He also strongly urg- ed the formation of a club in Holbrook of at least 30 members with a $12.00 year ly fee, to push this work.
 After Mr. MorrelPs speech Dr. s. Earl Taylor was urg- ed to give his opinion of the proper plan for the city to pursue in its search for de- velopment and in an unmis- takeably forceful manner presented the case of our we'll known but neglected assets in the line of scenic wonders. He stated but more forcibly, what the News set forth several weeks ago. that this country had in a smaller radius more in- teresting and fascinating ob- jects for tourist exploration than any other known spot on the habitable globe. Dr. Taylor urged that we not
 let familiarity dull us to the importance of these great gifts of prodigal nature as a means of building up the
 fortunes of our town.
 Major Shipley next took
 the floor and stated succint-
 ly his opinions to the as roa-
 questions of Navajo Co.,.
