Court Day

A very large crowd was in
town Saturday-Court day. 1t
was too wet to plow and still a
beautiful day. Live stock offer
ings were very light except hors.
es and mules, and trade in these
was brisk, numbers of them
changing hands. The one main
attraction in the afternoon was
the auction sale of dress goods,
shoes, clothing etc. by Clayton
Howell, of Mt. Sterling and an
associate of Cincinnati. The auc.
ton lasted nearly four hours and
Notwithstanding the low prices
realized, probably several hun
dred dollars worth of goods were
sold.
1t was indeed gratifying to
know that the day passed through
without any drinking or other
disturbances whatever. 1t Is
hoped that all future court days
will be so successful.

| take this means, through the
county paper, to state to the good
people of Powell county that the
Powell County Fiscal Conrt, at q
recent meeting, voted down the
proposition to appropriate any
money to continue the Count
! Agent work in the county. Each
county that has a County Farm
Agent puts up one half the sala.
ry of such agent. Powell county
has never made any allowance
toward this work. In fact, Pow
ell county is the only county in
the state that has, or has had an
Agent and not made any allow
ance. Through the men, who
represent the county from each
Mag. District, this is done. The
Extension Dept. of Agriculture
looked up the assessment of Pow.
ell county and found it not list
ed among the wealthier counties,
they only asked one-h half the
amount as previously asked
(S250) but the majority of the
members of the Fiscal Court vot'
ed down this proposition, thus
the work has stopped in the
county until the Fiscal Court
makes an Appropriation.
| wish to state to the farmers,
their wives, the business men
and boys and girls in the county,
that | regret that the work must
stop, for [ have learned to love
them and consider myself one
among them. 1t has been a
pleasure t o visit their homes.

assistance ] could. There are no
better, no more honest and loyal
people TO be found any place
than in Powell county. The latch.
string is on the outside of every
door showing their hospitality.
They are ready to help out in
any cause and ready to receive
help. Great opportunities are IN
store for the farmers of the coun.
ty, and especially the boys and
girls, and they are taking advan'
tage of these. | believe | an
safe in saying that general farm
conditions are better today thar
five years ago when ! came tt
the county. This credit is no
due the County Agent, but the
farmers themselves who want Il
see better farm lands, better live
stock, better crops, better roads
schools, churches and better
place to bring up their boys anC
girls. The biggest crop that ev
er can be produced in Powell
county are the boys and girls.

40 MILES MORE :
OF DOUBLE TRACK
ON SANTA FE RY.

The Santa IFc Railroad has already
let the contract for the construction
of forty miles of second track be-
tween Griffith and Topock The
present second track work now
nearly completed connects Yampai
and Griffith. With the construction
of this new stretch the Arizona divi-
sion will be completely double-track-
ed with the exception of the stretch
between Bagdad and Daggett, and it
is expected that this piece will be
done in the next three years. II is
the desire and plan of the Santa Fe
officials to have the entire system
from Chicago to Los Angeles double
tracked in the next three years.
This will make this road one of the
best equipped in the country.
The Sharp & Fellows Contracting
Company of Los Angeles have been
awarded the contract. The same firm
has the contract for the Yampai-
Griffith work.
There will be several line changes
in the contemplated new work. elm
mating some of the dangerous curves
on this district, but the major por-
tions of the track will parallel the
present line. The estimated cost will
be in the neighborhood of S2,5000 900.

RED CROSS DRIVE
THROUGHOUT CITY
ARM|STICE DAY

Mrs. John Grafton, recently ap-
pointed Roll Call Chairman for the
Membership Campaign of. the Ameri-
can Red Cross for 1922 which com
mences to morrow and continues un-
til the 30th, presided at meeting Of
directors room last evening and in
conference with Chapter Chairman
l.. V. Root practically completed the
arrangements for making the drive
tomorrow.
While it may appear to local peo-
pie that the causes for the mainten-
ance of a chapter here no longer ex-
ist, yet there is a greater demand for
the relief work of the Red Cross
than ever before in the history of the
organization, not even excepting the
active days of the world war when
the Red Cross banners were floating
at the front and Upon hospital camps.
The people have permitted them
selves to believe that with the end of
the war, the activities of the Red
Cross are not needed. This is not
the case. The American Red Cross
is asked by the government to care
for those who were in the service of
their country and received disabili-
ties. The Red Cross is the only or
ganization which the government Of
cially recognizes in this great work
and no citizen, if able to take mem
bership, can refuse membership in
this organization which played such
an important part in the war period
and the work of which still continues
and will continue for several decades
or until the boys who were manned
and whose health was impaired, shall
have recovered or have answered the
last bugle call. Every citizen OF the
United States owes at least a dollar
to this organization. 1t is doing more
relief work than any other humani-
tartan organization in the world. 1t
is American. So are we. Let's re-
new our membership.
You will be called upon at your
home or in your business office to-
morrow. See that you are prepared
to help the American Red Cross.

A VOICE FROM THE PAST

Attracting attention to the city of
Winslow William MCGOWAN cashier
in the local Harvey house during
1883 and 1889, was given an extens-
i've .write-up on page one of the Oct
ober 27th edition Of Vaudeville News,
a magazine cf nation wide circula-
ton.
Old Winslow residents and rail
road men, who knew him, will be in
terested to learn Mr.. MCGOWAN now
is manager of the Hippo
drome theater, an OrpIeum Circuit
vaudeville house of Chicago
The magazine. in conjunction with
the article, ran an engraving which
shows the famous old brass quart
cite" of Winslow. in which Mr.. Nc
Gowan played cornet. Storekeeper
Hcgue who was here under the adj
ministration of Master Mechanic
Pullar is shown upholding a tuba.
while two shopmen, named Isaac and
Hogue are pictured with other horns
On noting the conspicuous photo
graph, Mr.. MCGOWAN is said to have
done considerable remipescing Of his
Winslow days during the early part
of this week in Chicago He is quot
cd as saying:
THAT picture was made few
days after Bill Lee and his gang of
rough riding outlaw boys shot up the
town We had plenty of excitement
in those days. The gun men used to
check their shooting irons in Lesser
and Sawyer's store, two blocks from
the old one-room school house where
our quartette rebearsed. Sometimes
when they'd got their guns and wera
riding out of town. they'd put q bull
let through the old school house Just
to show us fellows we were making
too much noise with our rehearsal.
THAT was what you might call re
hearsing under difficulties, but we
felt amply repaid for our trouble
when we'd go to Holbrook to take
part in some political campaign, or
were hired or asked to play for some
Winslow affair"
While recalling the early inhabt-
ants, the theater manager expressed
q desire to know what had become of
=. Mr. DeMarest. who operated the
hotel here.
Mr.. MCGOWAN came here from
Kansas City After leaving Winslow
he worked in Harvey hotels OF Cool
idge, La Junta and Needles. In the
latter city he organized the first
brass band the city had ever known.

attendance at the polls as con5e-
quence. But they day brought forth
political shadows and with the ad-
vent of the evening hours the repub-
lican warmth assumed chilliness
while democratic hopitality appeared
pre-eminent.
In the state the entire democratic
ticket was carried by a large major
