WINSLOW WOMAN KILLED
AFTER OUTRAGE BY MEXICANS

Word reached Holbrook from Wins

This happened several days ago, and
the woman died yesterday morning.
The six Mexicans are in Jail at Wins.
low. Proceedings have been started
against them and they will undoubt-
edly be brought to the county jail at
Holbrook. The people at Winslow are
greatly incensed and it was thought
that summary justice might be start
ed against them, not waiting for court
action. The crime is a terrible one, as
reports indicate, and every effort
should be exerted to deal out justice
to the miscreants.- -Holbrook Tribune.

EARLY FALL AND WINTER IN
DICATED BY FLIGHT OF GEESE

Last week large flocks of wild geese
passed over Kingman on their way
south. They appeared to be tired,
but could find no place to land in
this section, so they continued their
way to better feeding grounds. The
impression given by the migration Of
the geese was that an early winter
was approaching, as geese seldom be-
gin migrating before late October or
November.
Yesterday the first frosts appeared
in northwestern Minnesota, Michigan
and some other states, and the ther-
mometers fell to a new low record for
August in many of the western cities,
indicating that the goose knows some
thing besides being just a goose. -

OPERATES ELECTRIC TRUCKS
ON FORTY CENTS A DAY

1T costs forty cents day to oper-
ate an electric truck" was the state
ment made recently by c. B. McClel-
Ian, manager of the Chalmette Laun-
dry, New Orleans. These operating
costs take in everything except the
drivers wages and the interest on
the money invested in equipment.
This company which operates fifty
four trucks has the greatest fleet OF
electrics in the South.
Every week these trucks cover all
parts of the city, territory OF more
than 1876 square miles. Mr.. McClel-
Ian points out that every motor driv-
en- vehicle has it's field but when It
comes to running trucks to the home,
delivering or collecting small pack
ages the electric is "the thing"
1t has been his experience that the
electric truck is 365 day in the year
worker and is seldom out of commits
sion. 1t comes and goes as regularly
as clockwork and it is utterly depend
able. Some of these trucks have
been in constant service for over ten
years and are in nearly as good con-.
dition now as when they were pur-
chased.
The Chalmette Laundry has the
batteries in their trucks charged
every other night during clear wea-sa

good streets. During rainy weather
when the streets are muddy, the bat
teries are charged every night, !

EVER SEE H0RSEHAIR SNAKE7
Positive Proof Of Boyheod's Fond es-
lief Does Not Seem to Be
Forthcoming.

OF course horsehairs can be turned
into snakes.
So states a letter in the Atlantic
Monthly in which Mrs. L. Emile Pear
sail disagrees with contributor to
the magazine who pooh-poohed the
theory, and rushes to the rescue of
Shakespeare, who raised the point
some time previously.
He (the magazine writer alluded to
above) says he cannot believe Shake
speare when he says that horsehair,
imbedded in mud, would develop into
worms or snakes as we used to call
them, writes Mrs. Pearsall-and as
Shakespeare is not here to defend him.
self would like to say few words
for his vindication-inasmuch as
have had some experience with horse
hair snakes myself.
When was child we lived in the
country (about 25 miles from New
York;, and we had an old watering
trough, made from hAlowed-out log,
where our horses wtne always wa.
tered, and quite often my brothers
used to bring in a hatf snake found
In this trough. The trough was set
on slant: the horses,alwAy drinking
from the lower end, while the upper
had always in 1t some green slime.
One day I pulled outA Tot Of hairs
and imbedded them tusthe. Shiny end
Of the trough. I remember hearing
one Of my brothers. Say one day,

in heref" And anotherO9e said, "Oh.
Emile Is trying to raise snakes"
The first said, II have'r notion to
throw them out" butt the other said.
mo; let them alone and let her see
what she can do" And in q couple |
or more weeks after putting them in
my mother called me one day and told
me had a couple ofzsnakes there.
That was great many years ago,
but can still see those snakes as
they curled about my fingers and as
they opened wide their mouths-how
long they lived or anything more about
them cannot tell-but If that old
trough was still In existence I would
like to prove to some Of our modern
scientists that there IS such a thing
as live snakes developed from horses
hair.
Shakespeare was right.-Exchange.

BREAD BIGGEST FOOD ITEM
IN AVERAGE PERSONS DIET

Bread takes more prominent place
than any other single article of food
in the diet of the average person. It
is usually served at every meal ana
often is the chief item. This is due,
says the Bureau of Home Economic.
Of the United States Department or
Agriculture, to the fact that bread
contains certain food materials need
ed for health, and is inexpensive,
wholesome, palatable, and very gem
orally available.
When it sells at 10 cents a pound,
bread furnishes body fuel or energy
at about cents a thousand calories.
There are few common foods THAI
supply fuel in so cheap a form. The
man who works hard with his mus
cles can safely eat a pound or two
day without crowding out of his
diet the other things he must have.
Bread is useful not only for fuel
but also to some extent as a muscle
building food. If made from whole
grain, it contributes no inconsiderabfe
amount to the supply Of mineral sub
stances needed. Milk supplements II
in some ways very well, and a COM
bination of bread and milk is there
fore a more nearly complete food
than either bread alone or milk alone.
1t did not take science to tell our
that bread, milk, and ber-
ries make good supper, but science
has confirmed their opinion by prov
ing that the combination provides al
most everything needed for health,
even to the latest word in dietetics-
vitamins.

HOURS OF SLEEP
What Really Constitutes a Good
Nights Rest?
Old Tab Apportioning Time to Men,
Women, and Fools Does Not Seem
to Fit the Case.

How many hours do you sleep?"
The question was put to me recently
and / answered:
About seven, off and on. I manage
four hours, then lie awake for one OF
two, and drop off again, feeling sleep
lest when I should arise"
That, 1 suppose, means that I am
. not sleeping BEAUTIFULLY, remarks 9
London Answers writer. But I cannot
help it. The more one strives to coax
Number the farther away it seems to
drift.
Yet my questioner has perplexed me.

bow many hours night do you

Awakening you are always completely

The old tab-"Six hours sleep for q

foor-has been the bane Of my exist
tncs for years. have always tried to
persuade myself that must be very
foolish, because the more sleep can
1T the better am pleased.
One man known to ME gives appre-
ciativs backing to this standpoint. for
he says:
II must be a very real fool, for I
llesp nine hours solid out Of every
fwenty-four."
What ID the minimum necessary for
purposes Of health? One reads about
Af~ffp ,tohn nj oxx<h
and inventors who do with four hours
sleep a night. Are they supermen
physically as well as mentally, or Is
there some enviable popularity in
their makeup?
Is the whole thing a matter Of per-
one be forced to rest In bed, even If
unconsciousness cannot be attained,
for q certain number of hours out of
every day?
A novelist friend Of mine who is one
Of the hardest-wosking and, at the
same time, one of the healthiest men
know, confessed to me recently that
he seldom went to bed before 2, and
always rose about 7 a. m.
It would be an exaggeration to say
that was amazed, but certainly I
was surprised. Also, I was uneasy.
couldn't help feeling that, compared |
with him, was a woeful slug-a-bed.
Happily for my peace of mind, I |
learned later that, though he spent |
only some five hours in his bed, 1t was |
his pleasant habit to snooze In an arm
chair for at least one hour every day |
after luncheon.
So far as one can Judge, the hours
Of sleep required by each individual
are peculiar to that individual. Yet
certain sections of the community
have, willy-nilly, to ration themselves
~ to their period of dreamless or
nightmarish insensibility.
Sailors, for instance, learn very soon
that four hours at time is their Gus
tomary ration, though, thanks to the
dog watch, they get automatically
eight hours off after the shorter spell.
Obviously, too little sleep must be
bad for one, yet In certain medical
quarters 1t has been argued that too
much sleep Is almost as harmful.
Perhaps some one-doctor layman-
will come forward with statement
calculated to comfort and instruct
plain John Smith and his wife.
