FOLLOW Army FLIERS
IN TRIP AROUND WORLD

Follow the army fliers around the
world.
Babbitt Bros. Trading company has
fitted up part of its grocery display
window with a large world map and
an ingenious device for following the
army fliers around the globe. AS
the aviators advance in their flight,
their progress is marked with a tiny
alrplane tracing with red string the
route Travelled. The compartment in
whIch~the around-the-world device is
placed, has been appropriately and
effectively decorated with the Amer
lean eagle, red, white and blue
streamers and United States flags.
5. J. Pincetl, manager of the groc-
cry department, conceived the plan,
which was printed in the late issue
OF the National Grocers Bulletin and
was favorably commented upon by
the editorial department of that pub
hcatlon. Receiving the wide public
lty which the National Grocers Bulle-
tin affords, it is expected that MANY
live grocers throughout the country
will avail themselves of the plan
during the world flight.
The army flight around the world
started from Santa Monica, Cali
fornia, at 2:30 a. m. Monday. Major
F. L. Martin was the first to get
away. Lieutenant Leigh Wade, pho
tographer of the flight, was the
second, and Lieutenant Lowell Smith,
pilot of the flight, was third to take
off. The air cruisers flew in for
nation. The crafts are taking q
route along the Pacific coast to
Alaska and over the Aleutian island
and down to Japan. Thence they
will fly to Seoul, Korea, down the
Chinese coast to India, over Calcutta
and through Persia to Turkey, over
the Balkans to Austria and Germany.
up through France to England, over
Scotland up through Iceland and
Greenland and over Canada down to
Washington d. c., and across the
country back to Santa Monica.
This trip will take about four
months. 1t is not a race against
time. but a flipht to determine the
physical practicability of. an around
the-wor7d air route, with heavier
than air machines of present develop
ment.

THOMAS JEFFERSON
MEMORIAL DRIVE TO
BE HELD APRIL 6-l9

School children throughout the
United States will have the opportun-
ity of participating directly in the
establishment of Monticello as a
national memorial to its builder,
Thomas Jefferson. Though Jeffer-
sons widest fame rests on his auth
orship of the Declaration of indie
pendence, it is in commemoration
of his service in the cause of edu-
cation, as we'll, that the active CO.
operation of the school population
of the country is sought as speci-
fic act of recognition of his advocacy
of universal education for ALL
Edward F. Albee, National Chair
man of the Thomas Jefferson Memo
rial Foundation, which is raising the
$1,000,000 Fund for the acquisition
of the Jefferson home and it's endow-
ment as a national memor1al an
nounces that it is the intelligent
sharing by the school children of
the United States in the making of
the memorial rather than the actual
amount of money contributed by
them that is desired. Hence every
child going to school in the United
States is to be asked to contribute
only ONE CENT to the Fund. Mr..
Albee adds the definite statement
that "in no case will an amount
larger than five cents be accepted
from any school child; our aim is
to make ALL of them feel that they
are EQUAL sharers in the gift of
Monticello to the Nation"
Already pledges of cooperation re-
ceived by the Jefferson Foundation
from several of the states virtually
guarantee the active participation of
100000 school children in the Mon
tice1lo Memorial movement as penny
contributors.
Jefferson, frequently called "the
Father of the Common School," was
the first conspicuous advocate in this
country of free education for all.
One writer says that "to him the
schoolhouse was the fountain-head of
happiness, prosperity and good gov
eminent and education was "a holy

Trees RECOMMENDED FOR
PLANTING IN This LOCALITY

In connection with it's tree-plartil
contest the Woman's club has re-
ceived information from the agri-
cultural college of the University of
Arizona as to the kind of shade
trees to plant in this locality. The
following varieties are recommended: a:
Chinese elm, white elm, cork bark
elm. silver maple, honey locust, black
locust, Arizona ASH and the GOTTEN
wood for shade along the walks
Parents are urged to get behind
the planting contest and helr
the children plant good, straight
trees, which will be an improvement
to the city. The contest is now or
boys and girls. Do your best to win
the $40 prize.
One who has been successful in
growing trees in this soil estimates
the cost of watering a tree at fifteen
cents per month. a small amount
when compared to the cool and re-
freshing shade during the hot sum
mer season.

FEDERAL AID
TO Be CUT OFF
IF NEW BILL IS
NOT PASSED

That the Eastern states have OBJ
tained practically all the federal aid
which they can receive, that they are
now fighting to have the federal aid
act repealed as a result. and that
unless this movement is counteracted
with another act to take the place
of the present one which will expire
in 1925. the Western and the Southern
states will be deprived of their
equable share of appropriations, leav-
ing our main highway arteries in an
unfinished condition. was the declar-
alton made Wednesday by c. M.
Barber of the United States Good
Roads association to a representa-
tive of the Mail.
Mr. Barber. who is assistant to j.
A. Roundtree, director general of
the United States Good Roads associ-
alton. with headquarters at Albuquer
que, was in the city in the interest
of the organization, speaking at the
Rotary-club luncheon. He is organ
izing the fifteen Western states in an
attempt to secure such financial as
SiStance as is necessary to wage q
successful fight for the passage of
the new federal aid bill. which will
be introduced at the next session of
Congress.
The United States Good Roads as
sociation initiated the present federal
aid act involving appropriations
amounting to $300,000,000 in the four
years after it's passage. The project
is a greater one than that of the
Panama Canal A federal aid bill
was introduced in Congress in 1916
by United States Senator John Bank
head. president of the U. S. GooH
Roads association. After three
years fight, Federal Aid was passed
by Congress and appropriations were
made available.
Because of great wealth at their
command the Eastern states were
able to avail themselves Immediately
of federal aid with the result that
they now have a splendid network of
good roads. Having obtained pract-
ically all the appropriations which
they can receive. the Eastern states
are now waging fight to have the
act repealed. The United States
Good Roads association is the only
organization that is working for the
cntinuance of federal aid. and will
introduce a bill for its continuance
in the next congress. The bill will
carry appropriations of $73,000,0G0
for four years.
Due to lack of funds for meeting
the requirements of federal aid, the
West and the South have only been
able to take advantage of approDri-
ations in the last three years. The
main highways in these parts of the
country are in an unfinished condi-
ton. and it is very essential that
federal did is continued another four
years Should the proposed act fail
to pass the West and the South VIII
have no means of completing their
highway building projects.

SEXTET
CAPTURES CAGE
CHAMPIONSHIP
st. Johns takes honOrs i'm.
boys event; Jerome run
ner-up in both divisions;
WinslOw quintet defeated
in initial contest.

Winsiow High cage sextet, runners
up IN the state conference meet, won
the championship of the Northern
Arizona conference for the second
consecutive time at the tournament
held in Flagstaff last Friday and
Saturday in clashes marked by pheno-
menal basket artistry on the local
iplayers'S part, defeating their oppo-
nents by the most crushing scores
that they have piled up this season.
At no time during the crucial or
deal were the Winslow maidens in
danger of defeat. They played win
ming basketball from the start, out
CHASING their opponents in every
phase of the game, Freda Hart, the
fast running center, was unable to
take part in the contest on account
Of illness, and it was thought that
the team would be considerably hand
|icapped. Helen Russell, who was
substituted, played great game
despite the fact that she had not
played regularly on the squad.
Handicap or no handicap the indi-
vidual players entered the tournament
to win even though one of the first
line regulars was out of the meet.
In the clashes they exhibited super
basketball, playing the best cage
contest that they have taken part
in this season. Jerome was runner
up in the tournament.
St. Johns, doped to win the cham
pionship in the boys division, walked
away from the other teams in a
rather easy fashion. The farmer
lads won the championship and won
it without great deal of difficulty.
The local quintet, unfortunate in the
draw, was pittod against the strong
Prescott five in the initial contest
and went down to defeat. The
Jerome boys were also runners-up in
the quintet division.
The Winslow maidens played their
first game on Friday morning, de-
feating the Prescott sextet 21 to 6
in whirlwind style. The skillful de-
fensive work of Williams and Camp,
guards, together with the maneuver-
ing of the centers. Williams and
Fussell, enabled the local squad to
do it's best playing. Team work on
the part of every member of the
characteristic of the contest Proctor
led in the scoring of the Prescott
clash, garnering IL points. LaPrade
was a close second with ten.
On Saturday morning the local
sextet clashed with the Flagstaff
girls, sweeping them off their feet.
Winslow looped baskets at will dur
ing the four periods and piled up
a score 40 as against Is. This score
is a striking contrast to that of the
game played two weeks before on
the same court when the local maid
ems defeated the Flagstaff girls by
only one point Team work on the
part of the guards and centers coup
led with the accurate basket shooting
of the forwards was again the
cause OF the crushing score. The
local girls were playing up to their
true form. 1t was not an off day
with them. LaPrade made the high
score in this clash, gathering 33

CANYON PADRE ROAD
TO Be CONSTRUCTED

Construction of the Canyon Padre
Winslow section of the Old Trails
highway will start as soon as bids
can be called for and accepted as a
result of action taken by the Coco
nino county commissioners, who have
voted to divert the road bond money,
amounting to $4,000, to that stretch
of the highway. To this sum the
United States government will ap-
propriate $4,000, making total of
S187,000 available for building the
road.
Some doubt existed about the di-
version of the road bond money with
out an election. The Coconino
county commissioners, however, re
ceived assurance from Attorney Gen
eral Murphy that an election was
unnecessary and that they could di-
vert the money at any time
When the Winslow- Flagstaff road
is completed, the Old Trails will be
an excellent higway throughout the
state. The Canyon Padre Flagstaff
section of the road, which is being

Fares ON MAIN LINE
RAILROADS MUST BE
REDUCED BY APRIL 2S

All main line railroad fares in
Arizona must be reduced to the three
cent basis rate by April %, 1924,
in line with the recent ruling OF
the Interstate Commerce commission
reducing passenger fares on Interstate
business, it was announced Wednes-
day by Amos A. Belts, chairman OF
the Arizona Corporation commission.
The decision of the interstate
commission denying the petition of
the railroad for rehearing of the
three cents passenger fare case was
regarded throughout Nevada, New
Mexico and Arizona. those affected,
as the most sweeping passenger rate
victory ever won by any state before
the interstate body The saving to
Arizona alone will be $2,000,OOO per
year it is estimated.
AS a result of the ruling an end
has been placed to the gross dis
ordinations to which the three states
were subject on interstate fares.

RED RIDING HOODS
RESCUE A PLEASING
AND CLEVER PIECE

! Unique and colorful costumes,
splendid music, and acting which
delighted both the old and the young
characterized the juvenile operetta,
"Red Riding Hoods Rescue, present
ed at the auditorium last Friday
evening by the children of the
sixth grade of the Junior high school.
An unusually large audience saw
the production, which was indeed a
creditable offering, much better than
the average amateur presentation
given by grade school children Both
the soloists and the choruses sang
their parts exceptionally well, each
sustaining the other in the interpre
tation of the operetta. The costumes
of the choruses were very effective,
the boys being white and green and
the girls red and white. Perhaps
the most striking costumes were
those of the buttercup and of the
! bluebells
The operetta was taken from the
old romantic tale of Red Riding Hood,
and although the story is very
familiar one, it was, nevertheless,
very interesting and charming. More
than fifty children took part in the
presentation, and the whole produc-
tion reflected the thorough training
which they had received. Miss Hort
ense Miller directed the operetta and
Mrs. Frank Siegmund was the accom-
panist
Credit is due the eighth grade
boys and girls and the Junior high
girls who made the posters adver-
tising the production.

DELEGATE. TO
A. |. MEETING
GIVES REPORT

A. R. Kleindienst, adjutant of the
Frank Perkins post of the American
Legion, who as delegate to the
annual conference of Commanders
and Adjutants held at Phoenix last
week, gave a report of the confer
ence at the regular meeting of the
local post on Monday evening.
The report, which has information
of interest to every citizen of Wins
low and Of the state, is printed in
part:
"In his address of welcome Cover
nor George w. P. Hunt spoke of the
people of this state and country to
the ex-se1vice men. The sentiment
of war time days was compared to
that of today, which indicated that
there is an inclination on the part
of the people to forget their debt of
gratitude to the man who gave his
all in the time of need and who has
returned to civilian life with battle
on his hands trying to get what he
is justly deserving of. The governor
closed his remarks with the state
ment. THAI he was strongly in favor
of the adjusted compensation bill
now before congress and for any
other legislation shat was designed
for their benefit.
Judge Dudly Windes, member
of the post at Tempe and 2ne of the
organizers of the Department of the
Arizona American Legion spoke of
his opinion in the matter of the
American Legion entering the poll
tics of our state and nation. He
said in part that the Legion had
no place in party politics and when
ever it identified itself with any
particular faction, it would be killed
as an important and forceable organl-
zation. which was founded for the
purpose of promoting the cause of
the ex-service man and fighting the
problems that confronted him in civil
life. If. however. in an election for
local, state or national office there
appears candidate who champions
the cause of the eX-service man 1t
is the duty of every ex-service man
to support him and on the other hand
to fight any candidate for office who
may be against the organization.
"The conference was given the
benefit of several talks from repres-
entative of the u. S. Veterans bereau
headquarters at San Francisco. S.
H. Conner, CHEF disbursements Of
ficer advised the conference of the
efforts the bureau is making to
