Betty was puzzled. Why had Pros

appointment by his servant? Perhaps
because he was afraid that, in her ex-
aggerated caution. she might refuse To-
meet him If she could explain to him
the reason for her refusal, or gauge

FOR GOVERNOR, IN WINSLOW

Dwight B. Heard, republican candi-
date for the nomination to the office
of governor, and editor and owner of
the Arizona Republican, was in the
city Thursday in the interest of his
campaign. Mr.. Heard in speaking of
his trip said that this was a scout
ing" trip, more to feel the pulse of the
voters than anything else. In con-
versation with representative of The
Mail he said that he had decided to
make the race for governor on account
of the vast opportunity for service
which lies in the untangling of the
Colorado river problem and was very
enthusiastic in presenting his idea of
the solution Of this important ques-
ton, which has been broadcasted
about the state since his announce
ment He left the same afternoon for
Flagstaff.

AUTOMOBILES COLLIDE
JUST EAST OF THE CITY

Two cars came together Wednes-
day evening east of town where the
Holbrook and Clear Creek roads di-
verge. A Cadillac driven by ....
Tedder of this city was coming in on
the Clear creek road and an Arizona
tourist eastbound, came to the turn
of the road Eye witnesses say that
the eastbound car evidently was to
make the turn north but the driver
suddenly changed his mind and
swung to the Clear creek road The
Cadillac had prepared for the other
car to take the turn and when the
Dodge driver changed his mind, it was
too late to avoid the cars colliding.
The Dodge hit the Cadillac in front
on the left side, swinging it around in
the road while the Dodge went off the
road with badly demoralized left
fender and bent front axle The local
man offered to pay half the damage
but the other man refused to accept
The eastbound tourists slept in their
car Wednesday night and Thursday
morning were towed into the Old
Trails garage for extensive repairs

REV. HENSLEY GIVES
FIRST SERMON HERE

Rev. Wilbur Hensley of this city,
preached the sermon at the morning
service at the Christian church last
Sunday morning to a large congre-
cation 1t was the young mans first
sermon in his home town and he was
given good hearing He was intso o.
duced to the congregation by his

livered his sermon on the subject of
Prayer" The young minister is a

MOVIE STARS
WILL BE HERE
JULY fourth

The committee in charge of the
Fourth of July celebration are quietly
going ahead and preparing their pro-
gram day by day, annexing here and
there an attraction that will be of de-
cided interest to even the man or wo7
man who think they have seen every
thing.
Inquiries come daily to the commit
tee from persons interested in COM
ing here either to take part in or to
witness the celebration.
One of the interesting notes regard
ing attractions for the day regards
the signing up of two prominent mo-
vie actors for an appearance here on
July 4th.
This is not picture stuff, but the
actors will be here in flesh and
blood, aristocrats of their kind, be-
longing to the high-salaried perform
ers in the ranks of moviedom.
One of these is Sage King" and The
other "Silver Duke"
Now you are beginning to get wise
to the fact that this precious pair is
nothing more nor less than famous
pairs of equines who frisk and frolic
their way through the movie films.
The animals have been east and
will be sent through to the west to
the location at Hollywood. En- route
west the animals are to be detrained
here and exhibited that day.
Most movie fans know something of
these horses. The Duke is five
gated saddler of note and it is prob
able that lot of people who have
seen these animals in the films will
be glad to get a chance to see if they
can recognize them in everyday life.
These are added to the three hours
of airship stunts, the big frontier day
developments after supper and lot
of other things as well to amuse all
comers.

IS ROUNDS BOXING
NEXT monday NIGHT

Lovers of the fight game are pre-
pairing to see some lively tits at the
Kelly hall next Monday night and
from appearances they will not be
disappointed.
The first announcement that Dick
Cody was to tie up with the Insurrec-
to Kid Of Albuquerque has been
changed. Instead of Cody, Young
Garduno of this city is to be the foil
for the Kid and the outlook here is
for some good stuff as these men met
once before at the Kids home town
where they tied up in a stirring battle
for IL rounds to draw. Both the
local man and the New Mexican have
the stamina to stand quite bit of
mauling.
Soldier Costello is to furnish the
backstop against which RED Fss4 sim
SONS, a light-heavy, is to hurl his
mightiest thumbs. This is the second
ary struggle, with the GardunoKid
stunt as the topliner.
In the wrestling game there is
to be pair of Japs on the mat for
the opener. The Jap is fast man
on the mat, even if his style is a little
different from the Strangled Lewis
stuff. The bill is to start at nine
o'clock.

ECONNIES IN SCHOOL
SHOWN BY REPORT

The report of the school board and
superintendent of city schools is pub
lished in this issue of The Mail. The
report contains some valuable figures,
valuable for the public in the way of
information regarding the finances
of the local schools.
The report will be found to contain
the itemized and total expenditures
for the high and graded schools; the
budget for the past year; the budget
for the year 1924-25 and also some
comparative figures indicating that
the cost of schooling the children for
the past year was less than the year
preceding, while at the same time the
efficiency of the schools has been rig
orously maintained.
Figures on cost of maintaining the
schools for the year, based on
facts now available, indicate further
careful revision of figures to the ben
eft of the public funds, without low
ering the standard Of the school sys-

INITIATIVE MEASURE TO
REPEAL STATE GAME LAWS

Owing to many defects found in our
present game laws passed by the leg
islature, subjected to the referendum
and approved by the people in 1912,
the Arizona Game Protective associa-
tion, with the assistance of the state
game department, is to the front with
an initiative measure for the repeal
of the present game law in order to
wipe the slate clean and leave the
way clear and unobstructed for action
by the next legislature on a new game
code now in course of preparation url-
der the supervision and direction of
the Arizona Game Protective associa-
ton.
J. S. Roth, president of the Winslow
association, and T. E. Mccullough,
of Flagstaff, president of the state as
sociation, are encouraging signatures
to the petition for repeal.

SUMMER MEETING DIRECTORS
CATTLE GROWERS ASSOCIATION

Taking the place of the former sum-
mer conventions of the Arizona Cattle
Growers association that have, for
several years past, been held during
the early part of July, the board of
directors of the state association of
cattlemen will hold it's special sum
mer meeting in Prescott on Monday,
June 30
The policy followed by the associa-
tion for the past year has been to
have it's board of directors meet dur
ing the spring, summer and fall quar-
ters and again just prior to the
annual convention Of cattlemen,
held during the winter season. The
last meeting was held in the associa-
ton offices in Phoenix the latter part
of March, at the adjournment of which
the board decided to again meet at
or about the time of the annual From
tier Days celebration in Prescott.

HUNT SOON TO
ANNOUNCE CANDIDACY

Governor Hunt is a candidate to
succeed himself, according to reliable
information in possession of The Mail.
The official announcement. however,
will not be issued until early next
week. While the governor has made
no public statement defining his po-
sition it is clear enough to all who
have followed his administration that
he will need no platform other than
that of past accomplishments
No doubt he will oppose the ratifi-
cation of the Colorado compact as it
is written. The people will wait with
much interest his official statement
and his definition and proposed solu-
ton Of the problems Of the Colorado
river. His position on other vital
state questions will need no public
statement to further enlighten the tax
payers.

derful and deserves the backing Of at
least all the mothers and fathers who
have boys, to make it permanent
success.
If more people could go to Lake
Mary and see this work there is no
question that next year would see
more boys in camp.
visit was made to the camp last
Sunday by q number Of Winslow peo-
pie and they returned convinced that
the work is second to none for the
younger generation.
Mothers who have boys need not
worry about them as obedience is the
first principal of the Scout law Ev-
cry bit of time is taken up with diff
ferent kinds of work and pastimes
and must be accounted for They are
not allowed to leave camp without
permission and then only with a cap
able officer in charge The meals
served at camp are wonderful and far
beyond the expectation of those who
visited the camp Sunday.
Cleanliness is another absolute ne
cessity and boys are lined up for in
spection several times daily. Church
services were held Sunday.
