PUNLESS PARAGRAPHS.

Nothing so bores a woman as to
have man always talking about
himself and nothing so pleases
her as to find man who Is will
ing to listen to her talk about
herself.
If II liz true, has been said
that we always put the most faith
i'm things which nobody understands.
this explains why men place so
much faith in wOmankind.
No sooner does any optimist set
some small part OF the world afire
with a spark of hope than along
come the naughty pessimists and
try to put out the fire with floods
of eloquence.
The craving for appreciation al
ways makes US feel that the little
things we do should get more
praise from others than the big
things others do get from us.

indian CEREMONIAL

The second annual Tribal In
dian Ceremonial will be held in Gal
lup, New Mexico, on September 13 to
the Is inclusive. This ceremonial
according to reports, presents one of
the most unique and novel entertain
ment to be seen in the Southwest In
dians will enact their native dances
and sports just as in the old days
when they were supreme in this part
of the country.
Formerly these dances and ceremo-
nies, which to the Indian partake of
religious character, were perform
ed only in the recesses of the noun
tains and deserts. They could be
seen only by undergoing the hard
ships of long anw wearisome jour
neys.
The festivities, dances and ceremo-
nies of the Indians are in the nature
of thanksgiving to the various gods
for successful harvests and for that
reason are not performed until the
harvests are assured. In the middle
of September, after the crops which
have been cultivated through the
spring and summer have ripened, the
Indians are ready to offer up their
ceremonies o fpraise and thangs-
giving to their gods.
Thousands of the aborigines make
the pilgrimage to Gallup to particip-
ate in the Inter-Tribal Indian festivi-
ties For three days and nights the
different tribes vie with each other
ir their native sports and cavort in
their ceremonial dances. They also
exhibit the handiwork of the men,
women and children of the tribes
in products of which the art of MAX
ing has been handed down from gen
GRAFTON to generation through count
less centuries
1t is said that there is no artificial
ity about the Inter-Tribal ceremonial
The Indians appear in their native
costumes and the dances and festivi-
ties are the same as those performed
centuries before the white man dis
covered this continent. The Navajo
Zuni, Laguna, Acoma, Isleta, and
Santo Domingo Indians participate
in the ceremonial.

AMERICAN LEGION AUTO RACE
TO TAKE PLACE This SUNDAY:
CARNIVAL STARTS SEPTEMBER II

Ted Laveson is chairman of the day
and he has spared no time or effort
to make the classic real event in the
way of entertainment in Winslow.
Frank Christensen is official starter.
The judges are Ross Bazell Frank
Howe and R. K Corkhill. Clyde Mat
THE is referee and DR.. E. G. Gilpin
and Sam w. Proctor are time-keepers.
Entries will be accepted up to the
time of the race and those wishing
to participate should get in touch with
Chairman Ted Laveson, at Winslow,
at once.
The American Legion Carnival,
which was also postponed on account
of heavy rains and landslides which
prevented Clark's Greater Shows from
reaching here, will be held the week
beginning September II.
Clark's Greater Shows tried every
means to get here, but all roads
around Clarkdale, where they were
marooned, were impossible. The local
legion has received word from them
that they will arrive here ready to
help it put on the greatest Carnival
that has ever played here or in north
ern Arizona.
The Legion is going ahead with it's
plans to give the public the best en-
tertainment for their money. Among
the main attractions are Riding Devi-
ces from the Baby Merry-Go-Round
for the tiny tots to the towering and
gigantic Ferris Wheel for the grown
ups. There are numerous Side Show
Attraction, Athletic Exhibition, Pal
mistry, Pitch and Chance Counters
where one may WOO "Lady-Luck" and
win every kind of a prize. One of
the features of the Carnival is the
Boxing and Wrestling Exhibitions S.
A. Vanneman, who has put on the
gloves Jack Dempsey, the Heavy
weight Champion of the World, will
give some exhibitions. Vanneman
was Champion Light Heavy Weight of
the American Expeditionary Forces in
Europe.
The complete program of the Car
nival will be published in the next
issue OF the Mail.

them the small amount of the appro-
priation, and said that he would not
sign the bill if the commission thought
the appropriation was inadequate, but
that he would sign it if we thought
we could go through with an accept
able program.
1--WE asked him for time for consid-
Grafton, and after the whole proposal
had been given the most careful study
we told the governor that we would
proceed iwth state fair under the
limited appropriation if we could in
stall the pari-mutuel system.
What is pari-mutuel 1t is the
invention of a famous French horse
man, who loved horses and clean rae
ing, and who spent years perfecting a
system which would make horse rae
ing as clean as possible. The courts
have defined his invention to be sys
tenn designed to eliminate the evils of
the race track and to protect the play
er from disaster. 1t means the i'm
mediate Punishment from the race
track of the capper, the tout, the
hanger-on, the gambler and every vic
ious element. The most bitter Oppon-
ents of the pari-mutuel are people of
this stamp, who cannot ply their
vicious arts wherever the machine is
in use, and who will not linger where
it is in operation.
"The adoption of the part-mutuel
is the only method by which we can
keep our race program clean. 1t has
received the unqualified endorsement
of the finest people of the state-men
who have never gambled in their lives.
men who are known for their honesty
and prob:ty, and who know that the
pari-mutuel alone can do away with
the evils that usually attend race
meet.

DOUBLE TRACKACE
ON FIRST DIVISION
COSTS 100000

Construction work on the Santa
Fe Railway Company's double tracks
between Dallies and Rio Puerco and
between Perea and Gallup will soon
be completed and placed in operation.
The double track between Defiance
and Gallup has been completed, and
was placed in operation on August IL
The Dallies-Rio Puerco line will be
ready for service by September Is.
and the Perea-Gallup road will be
placed in operation about October 10.
These three sections have a total
trackage of nearly 33 miles, and the
cost Of building them will approxim-
ate $2,O00,0O0
Only the best material is used in
building the lines. The track liz
being constructed of 90-pound rails,
and oak ties. The roadbed is rock
ballasted Permanent bridges are
being constructed of steel and con-
crete, and will have sufficient strength
to carry the heaviest locomotives that
are now in use or that may be design
ed for many years.
These improvements are being
made in order to facilitate the move
ment of passenger and freight traffic,
and in order to give better service to
the public. They are in keeping with
the Santa Fe Railway Company's pol
icy to give the public the best SER
vice possible. Officials say that it
will be necessary to continue the
construction of double track through
Arizona and New Mex on account of
increased business.
In addition the double lines the
railway company is making extensive
improvement to track, bridges and,
station facilities over the entire divi-
sion.
An up-to-date icing dock and other
facilities costing approximately $70,-
900 were recently completed at Glen
dale. The icing dock has proved to-
be one of the most efficient plants
on the system. Cantaloupe trains
were iced during the rush Of the melon
season with less than FIVE minutes
delay. Side tracks were also built at
Glendale.
Jointly with the Southern Pacific
Railway Company, the Santa Fe is
constructing a new union station at
Phoenix, which will be completed in
September. It will cost approxima--
tely $215,000 and will have every
modern convenience.
The railway company expects to
start work rearranging and improv-
ing the round-house facilities and
tracks at Prescott within the next
few days. An S5-foot tUrntable, en-
gine pits and an oil-catch basin win
be constructed
Other improvements over the divi-
sion are under consideration but have
not been definitely determined.

= M &R 'tMFs II ~rn q.....,

The American Legion auto race
which was postponed Labor Day on
account of the heavy rains, will take
place this Sunday, September 9 at
p. M The track is in good condition
and everything is in readiness for the
big classic With $4,000 as the first
prize the spectator may expect to see
some real speed from the eight cars
that have been entered in the race.
Entries include Special Ford enter
ed by the Old Trails Garage, of Win
slow Driver Enoch Selberg; Special
National entered by the West End
Service Station of Winslow, driver
unknown Special Haynes entered by
the Navajo Garage of Holbrook, dri-
yer Flanagan; Special Ford, entered
by the Jennings Auto Company of Hol-
brook and to be driven by Jennings
Special Ford entered and to be driven
by J. Cousins of Holbrook; Special
Ford entered and to be driven by E.
c. Whiting of st. Johns; Special Hud-
son entered and, to be driven by Tony
Yurcic of Gallup; and Special Hudson
entered and to be driven by Charles
Helm, of Winslow.
From the reports that the drivers
in the race are sending, they are
Coming to Winslow to take the $500.0O
prize home with them. There is no
doubht that with the track in excel
lent condition some air-raising speed
will be seen on the local track. All
the cars which have been entered in
the race have been reconstructed with
view of obtaining as much speed as
possible.
This racing classic is open to all,
requiring an entrance fee of twenty
five dollars. The postponment which
was necessary will make the race bet
ter than it would have been. More
entries have been made, and the dri-
vers have had more time to practice
and to perfect their cars. If you ever
have seen fast race, you will see
another Sunday. If you haven's at
tend the one Sunday for you will not
only see speed but you will undoubt-
edly get a thrill, perhaps a shock
when the racing demons let loose.

SCHOOL IN FULL SWING

No data is available as to the total
enrolment in the city schools for
this issue of the Mail, but it is thought
that the number of students is about
the same as last year. All the teach
ers arrived to begin their work except
Miss Belle Oakley, who is detained at
Palmyra, Nebraska, on account of the
serious illness of her father.
The figures of the Washington school
show that there is an increase of pup
lis. Two grades are so full that it is
impossible for two teachers to take
care of them. 1t will be necessary to
do some shifting of the teachers to
take care of the increase at the Wash
ington school, but if this is not ad-
visable, a new teacher will have to
be secured and an extra room fitted
up.
1t may also be necessary to divide
the eighth grade of the Junior High
school on account of the large num-
ber of students. If this is done one
extra teachers will be able to take
care of all classes that may have to
be organized.
Some students of school age have
not enrolled. The school officials ad-
wise parents to send their children to
school and avoid the necessity of
having the truant officer look into
their absence.
The Winslow mail., 1923-09-07
CITIZENS TO VOTE
SEPTEMBER % ON LOTS

The school board has decided to put
the matter of purchasing the two
blocks west of the Washington school
up to the voters again. 1t was de-
cided to take this step because many
voters have complained that they were
out of the city. The additional ex-
pense of this election will be very
little as all the proceedings were al
ready prepared.
That there may be no misunder-
standing regarding this election the
following facts are given: the time
and the place for the election is Sat-
urday, September %, at the Washing
ton school. The two blocks comprise
forty-eight lots and the purchase
price is five thousand dollars. This
means $2500.00 for each block of "a
lots. The notice for the election calls
for $6,000.00. Some of this extra
thousand dollars will go to defray
what small expense there is connected
with the election and some might be
used to put the land in order If it's
use in improving the land is not per-
mitted by law, the extra thousand
dollars of bonds will not be sold.

ELECTION FAILS TO
CHANGE LEGISLATURE
ON COL. river PACT

Latest reports available on the spe-
cial election held Tuesday in Coconino
county and the eleventh Maricopa
district give evidence that the Ari-
zona state legislature is still unchang-
ed on the ratification of the Colorado
river pact.
Fred Breen has a to l lead over
Earl Slipher in II out of 33 precincts
in Coconino county, and r. A. Chest
mutt has a 29-vote lead over w. G.
Langmade in 6 out of 8 Maricopa
county precincts. Breen's lead in Co
conino county apparently is sufficient
toseffset any gains that might be made
in the unreported precincts, and it Is
doubtful if Langmade can muster
enough votes in the two missing Ma
ricopa precincts to change the result.
The last reports received from Flag
staff gave Breen Gil votes and Slipher
206 Breen is an avowed pro-pactist,
while Slipher, who is in Mexico on a
scientific expedition, did not make an
active campaign or give out any state
ment regarding his stand on the pact
ratification Colonel Breen will sue
ceed the late Hugh Campbell as sena-
tor from Coconino county. Campbell
was a pro-pactist and Democrat,
while Breen is Republican.
R. A. Chestnut, apparently elected
in the eleventh Maricopa district. has
not declared himself against the pact,
but his support came from anti-pact
quarters, and it was understood that
he was against ratification without
reservations. w. G. Langmade made
his campaign on ratification and was
supported by an active committee Of
the American Legion. Both are Dem
ocrats and the successful will succeed
the late Charles Miller in the lower
house If Mr.. Chestnut is elected, as
the unofficial returns show, it will
not change the past alignment as Mr.
Miller was against ratification and
voted with the anti-pact forces.

HEAD OF arizona
VETERINARY BOARD
DIES AT GLENDALE

DR.. Emmett Otto, prominent veter-
mary surgeon of Glendale and chair
man of the state board of examiners
in veterinary medicine and surgery,
died at the family home in Glendale
at 2:30 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon
following short Illness The cause
of death was given by the attending
physician as peritonitis resulting from
mad dog bite. He was 81 years old
and had been resident of the state
for more than II years.
About two weeks ago, DR.. Otto was
called by v B. Addington, living near
Glendale, to treat a dog afflicted with
the rabies. In some manner the doc
tor was bitten by the dog while ad-
minstering the treatment. Immedia-
tely afterward he came to Phoenix and
began taking the Pasteur treatments
Up to the time of his death, a total
of IL treatments had been taken
He was apparently getting along
nicely until Monday, when he became
i'll. DR.. Van Marcel Of Glendale was
called in, but the patient steadily
grew worse. Early yesterday morn
ing he became unconscious and re-
mained in that condition until his
death, which occurred about 2:30
o'clock.
