EXTENDS
PUBLIC THANKS;
TO CELEBRATE
ARNISTICE DAY

At an enthusiastic meeting Monday
night the American Legion unani-
mously voted to thank the public for
the lavish support accorded it in con-
nection with the auto races and the
carnival. Without the cooperation
which the citizens of Winslow most
generously granted, the Legion would
have been unable to make a success
of these affairs. 1t extends to the
public sincere thanks.
The Legion appointed a committee,
headed by c. D. McCauley, to arrange
an impressive program for Armistice
day, November II. The city schools
will cooperate with the Veterans in
the program. A football game be-
tween the high schools of Gallup and
Winslow will take place as part of
the arrangements. This should be
the best game of the season, as much
rivalry exists between the two con-
testants.
Another committee was appointed
fbr the American Education Week,
which is the week beginning Novem-
Der IS. This committee, headed by
Commander Lieberman, will meet
with Mr.. r. K. Corkhill, president of
the school board, and Mr.. Grady
Gammage, superintendent of the city
schools, to arrange a suitable pro-
gram and exercises for the American
Educational Week. 1t is thought that
one entire day will be devoted to
patriotic exercises. The Legion in
tends to give every pupil in the
public schools an impressibe pamph-
let for the occasion.
Winslow people are urged to CO.
operate with the city schools and the
Veterans in making Educational week
as successful as possible. The pur-
pose of this to encourage the people
to take an active part in education
and to promote school activities. At
present parents grossly neglect the
schools and seldom visit them. The
people should and must take more
interest in the educational system IL
the best results are to be obtained
A motion picture, Skin Deep" one
of the best Ince production in the
market will be shown here under the
auspices of the American Legion
about October TO- This picture has
received very favorable comment and
much praise wherever it has been
shown. The Veterans are to be con-
graduated for bringing cinema
drama of such high standard here.
The date of the house rattle, which
was postponed owing to the fact that
about 100 tickets are unsold, will be
announced later.
Conrad Steiner of Prescott was a
caller at the meeting and gave an in
teresting talk on useful activities.
The next regular session will be
held on October l. Every member is
urgently requested to attend. I'M
portant business will come up for
consideration

day by Judge Fred C. Jacobs to serve
a two-year sentence in the United
States penitentiary at Leavenworth.
DR.. Francis was found guilty of the
charge of unlawfully dealing in mar
cotics, after the jury, hearing the
case during two days, had been out
only a few hours. The verdict of
guilty was found in only one of the
two charges brought against the
Flagstaff physician, he being acquitt-

FIGHTING BROWN WINS
LEGION BOXING MATCH

Pete Brown of Clarks Greater
Shows won the American Legion box
ing bout Saturday night from his op-
ponent, H. A. Vaneman, who broke his
hand in the second round and was
forced to quit at the end of the
seventh in their scheduled ten-round
match
Brown who is middle-weight
champion of Mexico, had the better of
the fight after the first round. He
landed several smashing blows to his
opponents jaw and face, but lacked
the punch to score a knockout. He
seemed to have no difficulty in break
ing through Vaneman's guard and hit
ting him at will 1t was evident as
the fight progressed that Vaneman
was not using his right hand.
Both men scored knockdowns. but
they were up ready to fight before the
tenth count. Vaneman, the heavier
man by about thirty pounds, had more
power behind his blows He was
unable, however, to land squarly on
the fighting Mexican after the first
round. In the clenches, which both
men resorted to, he also showed sup
erior strength. During the last two
AOuhuo hS o1OWSu up COuSlu6FdDly.
Brown, on the other hand, showed
UP better the onger the fight lasted
He rushed in time after time and
struck his opponent, who was unable
to block the attacks
The Mexican showed that he was
tighter in the match. Although he
was pitted against a man with a Ion
ger reach and with thirty pounds
more weight, he tore into his OppOn-
ent, undaunted by these handicaps He
displayed more boxing science than
Vaneman, who was champion of the
second division over seas. Vaneman
is undoubtedly a good fighter, but he
was handicapped too much with his
broken right.
There is some doubt as to what
round the fight stopped. NJ. c. Sny-
der, the referee, says it was the
seventh; others declare it was the
sixth and some believe it was the
fifth. Regardless of the round every
one who saw the scrap says it was
real one while it lasted.
If good. boxer can be found, the
American Legion may stage return
match for the fighting Mexican in
few weeks. Another bout with Pete
Brown as one of the gladiators should
prove especially attractive as a draw
ing card

SCHOOL BONDS ISSUE
DEFEATED AT POLLS

At the school bond election held
last Saturday at the Washington
school to determine whether school
district No. 1 should create a bonded
Indebtedness for the purpose of pur-
chasing school lots, the vote was 70
against 49 for the measure. This is
a greater defeat than at the first
election which was held on June 26,
when 43 votes were cast, 10 for the
bonds and "A against them.
The election last Saturday was
held because good many people
complained that they were out of
town at the first one and were thus
unable to vote. They apparently did
not take advantage of the second
chance, however, nor work for the
measure. A number of people with
cars were working last Saturday
against the measure, hauling voters
who opposed the bonds to the polls.
One member of the school board
stated that the issue was at an end
The people have expressed themselves
against the purchase of the lots, al
though more ground is needed for
the pupils to play on, he added At
the Washington school the pupils
have no ground to play on except
that around the building AS a re-
suit the older and the younger chill
dren are thrown together, and this
creates a bad situation.

OF MERCHANDISE ON TRIP

Mr.. Carl Behn returned Saturday
from an extensive buying trip to st.
Louis, Chicago and New York, where
he purchased the largest and best
stock of goods that he has ever bought
for his department store.
He reported that the market was
in excellent condition and that every
one was busy, expecting banner
year in business He stated that the
earthquakes in Japan had interferred
with the silk industry of that cOun-
try. AS a result there is a sharp
advance in the price of silks. AL
though wool has gone down in value,
the price of wooden goods from the
factories is a little higher than last
year, he said. Cotton goods are like
wise on the upward trend.
Mr.. Behn deferred his buying trip
until late in the season when the
market is more stable than at any
other time, enabling him to buy the
latest and the best stock at rea-
sOnable figure.
Shipments of goods are now arriv-
ing. Mr.. Behn invites the public to
the department store to see his stock

ANNA NAE NESTING
DIES At HOSPITAL

Anna Mae Nesting, Mr.. and Mrs. c..
o. Nestings only daughter, who died
in the Santa Fe hospital at Los An
geles on September 81 Of Hemorrhage
Of the brain caused by a deep-seated
tumor which could not be removed
by an operation, was buried Monday
afternoon in the Winslow cemetery.
The Nesting family brought the body
home from Los Angeles Sunday on
train %.
Mrs. Nesting, who had been stay
ing at the hospital with Anna Mae,
was present at her daughters bed
side when she died Mr. Nesting, who
had returned to WinslOw on Septem-
ber 16 from Los Angeles, where he
had gone with his wife and daughter,
was called to the coast city on Thurs
day, September 20. He and his son,
Stanard, arrived in Los Angeles last
Friday at 2:30 p. NJ, shortly after
her death.
Anna Mae suffered a stroke of
paralysis on August 22, partially los
ing the use of her right side. She
was playing in the Nesting front
yard at the time. She suddenly lost
control of her foot and dropped to
the ground After short time she
was able to walk around. 1t was
first thought that she had sprained
her ankle; but her foot failed to
swell, and she was examined by ply
sicians, who diagnosed her case as
paralysis.
She seemed to improve until the
week before she died Before the
stroke she had always been the pic
ture of perfect health, and had never
known what sickness was. Los An
geles specialists who examined her
were unable to find any cause of the
tumor, which led to the stroke.
Anna Mae would have entered the
fifth grade at the opening of school
this fall if she had not been taken i'll.
She was a very bright girl and took
much interest in her school work.
Her untimely death following the
sudden paralytic stroke is a terrible
shock to her parents and her brother.
The Mail joins with the entire COM
munity in offering sympathy to the
bereaved family.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Nesting home at p m. Mon
day by Rev. w. L. Martin, pastor of
the Christian church
Mrs. Barnett Stiles, of Austin, Tex,
an aunt of the deceased child, arriv-
ed here Monday evening after the
funeral had taken place.
