Literally painting pictures by the
yard A. L. Browning, natural born
artist, who represents the McMurty
Manufacturing company of Denver,
is attracting much attention with his
work in the display window of the
Bahbitt Trading company.
Mr. Browning paints an artistic
picture in an astonishing short period
of time; yet he works in an easy and
Ieisurely manner The picture that
the average artist spends weeks,
months and years on, Mr.. Browning
paints in less than thirty minutes.
And the marvel of his work is that
it will stand comparison with that
of the best painters in the country,
he being one of them. In fact he
is one of the few men in the world
who are able to turn out artistic
pictures at the rate required by the
company which he represents.
One would think that at the rate
Mr.. Browning paints his pictures, he
would soon swamp the market. This
is not the case with him, however.
He now has more engagements ahead
than he can possibly fill in years,
When asked where he studied art,
he smiled in a knowing manner and
replied that he did not have to study
it. He has been painting pictures
since he was thirteen years of age,
and even before then he was painting

STOCKHOLDERS
Will CONSIDER
BANK MERGER

Rumors on the street reached the
Mail to the effect that important
changes in local banking institutions
were being discussed and our in
veStigation of this led to an inter
view with Mr.. w. H. Dagg, President
of the Bank of Winslow and T. MT.
Quebedeaux, President of the Arizona
State Bank, both of whom admitted
that plans for the consolidation of the
WmsloW Banks had been under con-
Slderatlon for some time and as a
result a plan for the merging of
these two banks had been selected
to be submitted to meetings Of the
Stockholders of the two banks to be
held some time in April.
If the stockholders meeting of the
banks adopt the plan at their meet
ings in April, it will result in Wins
low having one of the largest banks
! IN Arizona and the second largest
bank on the line of the Santa Fe
Railway between Albuquerque and
San Bernardino At the stockholders
meetings in April there will be con-
sidered in addition to the merging
of the two Winslow Banks into one,
also the question of establishing a
branch in Holbrook which will take
over the banking business of the
Merchants Bank in Holbrook. Should
the meetings act favorably the merg-
ed bank will have in excess of one
and one half million dollars in
assets.
While complete list of officers
could not be known in advance of
the organization, still it was learned
that w. H. Dagg is certain to head
the merged bank as President and
that 7. M. Quebedeaux will remain
permanently with the organization
devoting all his time to the interests
of the business of the bank. If the
proposed merger takes place it will
be source of pride to Winslow to
be the home of a bank so we'll
equipped to serve our town.

AN ABSURD INCIDENT

They had been married five
years and had overcome all their
martial difficulties during the
crucial period of their adjustment
to the connubial state; yet they
parted over nothing. They were
motoring from Los Angeles to
Kansas City, where he had effec-
ted transfer to please his wife
in the company he represented
when the break came in this city.
Everything was pleasant, delight
fully pleasant, until they reached
Klngman, where the woman capri
ciously started to smoke cigarettes
for no other reason than to attract
attention and perhaps to tease her
husband. He took the whim seri-
ously and a slight tiff resulted.
At Williams the husband met
an old friend who filled his flask,
a present from his wife. Before
leaving that town the husband
put the precious flask in the door
pocket of his coupe When they
were a few miles out of Williams,
the wife discovered that the vial
contained liquor and she remon-
strated with her husband for hav-
ing liquor in the car, telling him
that if an officer should happen
to search the coupe, they would be
arrested. Becoming angry at her
captious remark, he threw the
flask away; whereupon she up
braided him for throwing away a
present which she had given him.
The incident together with the
bad roads which they encountered
west of here, further aggravated
their trouble with the result that
they said some cutting things to
each other. She told him that she
would go home to her parents.
Not to be outdone, he told her
to go.
When they reached Winslow
they wege still angry with each
other. An unfortunate word again
inflamed them. She reiterated her
declaration to go to her parents,
and he gave her half his money,
leaving her to spend the night
alone.
The next morning crying and
laughing at the seriousness and
the absurdity of their quarrel, he
boarded a train for the east.
Later in the day she left for her
parents's home. Neither excercis-
ing that happy faculty of self
control, they let an absurd incident
become a tragedy in their lives,
tragedy with all its unutterable
sorrow.

Much interest was manifested at
the practice Of the "Oratorio Daniel
held Tuesday at the Woman's club
hall in preparation for the produc-
ton of the entire classical drama,
which will be staged during music
week, May to 10. Judging from
the interest which has already been
manifested in the proposed presenta-
tion, it is certain that the production
will be a most successful one.
The next rehearsal will be held
Tuesday, April 1, at the home of
Mrs. Horace Evans, 1913 West Aspin-
wall Practice will start promptly
at eight o'clock and will last but
one hour, so as not to interfere with
those who desire to attend the dance
that night

not yet reported to the musical di-
rector of the oratorio, are urged tc
do so at once, as several voices are
still needed to make the production

Paints Artistic Pictures
In less than so Minutes

about him. Mr.. Browning is a natural
born artist. Like many other gifted
men he was endowed with talent,
which he developed himself through
painstaking work. Although he now
paints a picture in an incredibly short
time, he has not always done so. In
a voice which in itself conveyed years
Of laborious effort and work, the
artist said that he had worked long
and weary years to turn out pictures
with rapidity
Like the great musicians Mr..
Browning has repertoire of pictures
which he paints from memory or
from his minds eye. He has so
thoroughly mastered his work that
he does not even use prototype.
Having seen a picturesque scene in
nature either simple or grand, he has
worked with it so. long that it is
his own. with the result that he is
able to depict it with unerring accur-
acy, bringing out all the natural de
tails of the original with no other
model than that in his minds eye.
His repertoire is indeed large one,
so large, in fact, that it seems al
most uncanny that a man could re-
member so many different pictures
as he paints. He has been turning
out 25 to 30 oil paintings a day for
several days, and every one of them
lis different.

H. S. ATHLETES
PRACTICE FOR
TRACK MEETS

Track practice in preparation for
the cinder-path meets to be held at
Holbrook and Flagstaff this spring
has started at the Winslow high
school, about twenty men responding
to Coach Porter'S call for preliminary
workouts.
The first scheduled track meet is
the Navajo-Apache bi-county event,
which will be held in Holbrook
April 25 with the following schools
competing: Round valley, high school
of Eagar, st. Johns high school,
Snowflake Academy, Holbrook High
and Winslow High. This is the first
time in the history of the two
counties that bi-county track meet
will be held, and all the schools con-
cerned are taking so much interest in
the affair that it promises to be-
come an annual event.
In May, the date not yet definitely
settled, the annual Northern Arizona
track meet will be held at Flagstaff
with all the high schools in the con-
ference taking part. Contrary to the
prevailing practice in former years,
the Flagstaff Nomal will not be a
contender in the cinder-path classic
of the season.
Twelve events are scheduled in both
the Navajo Apache and the Northern
Arizona meets, including 100, 220,
440. $50 and 1760 yard dashes, low
hurdles, high hurdles, broad jump,
shot put, discus throw and pole vault
In the vajo-Apache contest two
silver cups and gold medal watch
fob will be given as prizes to the
teams winning first and second place
and the boy who scores the highest
number of individual points.
Winslow took second place among
the high schools in the Northern
Arizona conference last year, and
judging from this showing the local
school has good chance of winning
the bi-county meet. Preliminary work
outs have brought out the fact that
the local athletics are especially
strong in both the low and the high
hurdles, the high jump, the quarter
mile and the half mile runs, are by
no means weak in the other events.
An inter-class meet will be held
by the local high school before the
Navajo-Apache contest comes off. 1t
is expected that large number of
Winslow people will attend both the
Holbrook and the Flagstaff events.

LOCAL ELKS CAvORT
At JOLLY CLUB BALL

Local Elks and their friends en-
joyed one jolly time last Saturday
night at their big dance in the West
End hall following initiation of candi-
dates earlier in the evening at the
lodge club rooms.
The affair like all the social
functions given by the local lodge
was all that could be desired and
then some in the way of entertain
ment. 1t took no effort to have a
good time From the moment that
the Shadowland jazz orchestra struck
up there was a merry lark, a spirit
of merriment and pleasure pervading
the dance. At eleven o'clock a cafe
terra luncheon was served and from
then on until the concluding waltz
every one was having a royal enter
tainment.
One of the things which made the
the decorations in the hall. White
and purple and gold and blue strea-
mers were effectively arranged IN
wavelets along the lattice work of
the ceiling, and oriental and tapestry
lanterns were hung about the room
radiating a mellow and colorful, light,
which was enhanced ny VdIlcSdVcu
bud lights.
The dance was the last that will
be given until the grand opening OF
the Elks $4,000 home, and it was
evident that the members of the
antler tribe were warming up for the
wonderful time which they will have
when their commodious club is de-
dicated. This will take place during
the latter part of April.
A class of eighteen candidates were
expected to take the degree work
Saturday evening, but a number of
them were unable to do so, due to
the fact that they were out of town
on duty. The following men were
received into the order: L. F. Dau-
walter, w. C. Breckeen, A. E. Thomp-
son and John Daley.

the West End service station, was
stolen from Kinsley avenue between
