Hopi Boy VIII Go To
Colorado 7 o Dance

Bishop Youwitch, (meaning corn
silk in Hopi, a well-known Hopi
youth of Winslow, who has for a num-
Der of months been employed at the
roundhouse, will leave soon for the
Mesa Verde National park, Colorado,
where he will stage, in a manner SINH
lar to that of Grand Canyon, a series
of Hopi dances for the entertainment
of tourists and visitors to the park.
Youwitch is a prominent member OF
the Bear clan of the Hopis, and has
taken part in many of the tribal
dances. A number of times he has
taken part in the famous Hopi snake
dance. Youwitch was born and raised
on the second mesa at the village of
Tovrea. He is brother of the fam
GUS Joe Sacakuku yellow Feet :,
leader of the dances at Grand Canyon.
Youwitch took one of the leading
Indian parts in the big picture pro-
ductiOn "The Covered Wagon" and
has taken part in the ceremonial
dances at Gallup on one or two oc-
casions, with number of other dane
erS from the village of Tovrea, who
were three time winners of the first
prize among the dancers at the Inter
tribal ceremonial. He states that the
dances being given now in Mesa Verde
park are put on by Utes, Arapahoe
and Navajo Indians, but the park man
agement is anxious to have the dances
directed and led by a Hopi, because
of the fact that they are emblematic
and beautiful, and more varied than
the dances of the other tribes.

Mrs. Hughes recently
1--WE criticize their hair, their skin,
their stockings, their shoes, skirts,
cosmetics, and manners said Bishop
Hughes, speaking of modern young
people. II suppose when you middle
aged people were young, to hear some
of you talk, you would think you were
gentle little angels sitting around on
sofas with your hands folded on your
laps.
Don't you remember when the
young people used to bang their hair
let it fall all over the forehead, as
banged hair and bobbed hair? l take
the bobbed variety.
II have heard it stated that the
song, Yes, We Have No Bananas, was
sign of the degeneracy of the times
But what were you singing, you pious

trustees, when you were young? You
were singing:
'Pharaoh's daughter on the bank,
Little Moses in the pool.

TELEPHONE MEETING

The most disgraceful scenes evel
enacted at public meeting in thi'
town were those that transpired OF
Thursday evening of last week, in the
public hall here.
The meeting had been called ~by
the Cecil Farmers Telephone Com
pany in order that statement of the
company's condition, bearing on the
proposed raise in rates, might be pre-.
sented to telephone subscribers
The auditor had hardly gotten fairls
into the subject when it became ap.
parent that large part of the
audience was not in receptive mood
Led by a professional man, a
woman politician, and some three OF
four others, questions, criticisms
and condemnations were interjected
into the meeting, the main purpose
apparently being to hold UP to
ridicule and abuse the Company and
those connected with its manage
ment.
Every slur cast was applauded, and
when 1t was contemptuously re-
ferred to as "a thirty cent company
by person with fancied grievance
the audience simply yelled with de-
light, and applauded to the echo.
All this, to their shame, from an
intelligent people, dominated by
prejudice and malice. 1t is just such
and unrestrained license
that makes for mob rule.
Be it known that not one of the
solid business men of our community.

of .ridicule run riot, directed at

been to give their time and
money, without any compensation
whatever, in an effort to establish
and keep in operation a public con-
venience, the benefits of which any
number of these same detractors
have enjoyed.

FOREST PROTECTION WEE,

FOREST PROTECTION WEEK.
Forest Protection Week for 1894
has been designated by President
Coolidge for April 21-27, inclusive,
announces the Forest Service, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
In his proclamation, President
Coolidge calls attention to the ap-
palling losses that occur each year
from fires, and urges all citizens,
either in association or as individ-
uals, to protect all wooded areas
from fire. Governors Of many States
will issue proclamations supplement-
ing the one issued by the President,
and Arbor Day in several States win
be observed during Forest Protec-
tion Week.
Secretary Of Agriculture. Wallace
and w. B. Greeley, Chief Of the
Forest Service, have many times
emphasized the importance of pre-
venting forest fires, about $4,000
of which every year sweep 1900
acres of land. n4. as..atS
Secretary Wallace has stated that
eight out OF every ten forest fires re-
suit from human carelessness and
will not happen once the public is
brought face to face with the serious
losses these fires. cause. These
losses fall especially heavy on the
American public since the United
States uses more sawtimber than all
other nations combined.
Chief Foretsr Greeley says it is not
difficult for everyone to be careful
with fire while in wooded areas.
Here are simple rules which IL OBJ
served will go far toward reducing
the appalling number OF man-caused
forest fires reported every year: Be
sure your match is out before throw
ing it away; Don't throw cigars,
cigarettes, and pipe ashes along the
roadside; Build small camp fires
away from brush and small trees;
Never leave your camp fire un-
watched: Make sure your camp IRE is
-dead-then bury it; Keep in touch
with Forest Rangers and Fire War
dens and report all fires you may see.
no matter how small: Be as careful
with fire while you are in wooded
areas as you would be in your own
home.
