NEW WORKERS WILL
HAVE LOTS TO DO
DURING THE WINTER

New York folk are going to be busy
during the coming winter. They have
laid out lots of work for themselves
for the long cold evenings and their
intense occupation will refute the old
western charge of effeteness of the
fasteners. Children and grown-ups,
men and women, able-bodied and in
valid, all have engaged upon chore
of infinite magnitude. With the naviete
faith and nervous energy which char
acterizes the -dwellers of Gotham
Valley, they expect to have
their self-imposed task fully
completed before the budding
springtime rolls around, and if
they don't, a portion of the 10000
pounds of unshelled pinon nuts ship
ped last week by the Babbitt Brothers
Trading company, of Winslow, to the
on their hands.
1t has been said that the inhabi-
tants of the land of Caliph of Broad
way are an awful lot of nuts. Too,
ten thousand pounds of unShelled
pinons are an awful lot of nuts.
To the lover of statistics they present
many engaging problems and curious
comparisons.
There are 14,960000 nuts in 10000
pounds If laid out, end to end, they
would reach from The Winslow Mail
office to the Elks club in Flagstaff
and back again to as far as Canyon
Diablo. If strung on a string and
wound around city block they would
nuts to the pound. If five people were
wrecked on desert island with these
10000 pounds, three of them would
starve to death before all of them,
working eight hours a day, could get
enough shelled to make a meal.
On August 26th the Babbitt company
shipped to the G. j. Sperco company in
New York City, 10000 pounds of the
desert dainty, packed carefully in
double canvas sacks. The nuts will
be distributed entirely among con-
lection concerns in the metropolis,
where in the last two or three years
they have become very popular, be-
cause of their novelty.
The nuts were brought in from the
trading posts of the Babbitt company.
scattered far and wide over the Indian
reservations, and brought to Winslow
for shipment east. The Indians reap
a windfall each autumn when pinons
ripen. They wait until the gophers,
chipmunks and squirrels lay in their
winter stores, then ravish the nests,
sometimes getting as much as 25
pounds from one cache. The little
animals instinctively separate the
good from the bad nuts, and all
gathered in such fashion can be de-
pended on to be sound.

Children Of Suburbs To
Be Hauled To School

At the meeting of the school board
last Monday evening, a contract was
entered into with Bill Ford, local taxi
man, to bring the ten or more children
in from Clear Greek district each day

homes in the evening. This was felt
to be a better arrangement than estab-
fishing a school at Clear Creek and
hiring a teacher for the few pupils
there.

on No. L each morning. and will be

Aged CoIOred Lady, With Interesting
Life History, Djes---Was Born
I'm South

Mrs. Lucy Dew Friend, an aged
colored lady of this vicinity, passed
away Thursday morning at the home
of her daughter Mrs. Martha Jack
son. after a two weeks illness of in
frmities from old age. She was in
her 91st year. Grandma Friend, ;"
as she was known by all, was always
kind and affectionate and met you
with a smile whenever you went to
her home. She had been in our
neighborhood about ten years and
had never been away from her home
but a very few times. She was af-
flicted with asthma. She was born,
grew up and married in North Car
olina. When Mrs. Jackson was a
small child Mr.. and Mrs. Friend left
her with relatives and packed what
clothing they had in bundle and
hiked from their home in North
Carolina to southern Ohio, near
Pomeroy, where they built them
selves cabin to live in. After sew
eral years there they got to longing
for their babe who was then about
IL years old, in North Carolina, and
as they had walked the distance of
several hundred miles once, they de-
cided to go back to get her, which
they did, and all three returned to
their Ohio home, making three trips
to and from North Carolina here.
We were personally acquainted with
this old lady and always enjoyed
hearing her tell of some Of her ex-
periences on those trips. She was
fortunate in not being slave; was
raised by an aunt as a bound child.
She leaves the daughter mentioned,
and six grandchildren and seven
great grandchildren to mourn. She
was buried Saturday in the new
Maplewood cemetery. Funeral ser-'
vices were conducted at Glouster by
Rev. Thompson of Rendyille.

japan Clover

Oapth &iOs1f
Japan clover is coming into prom
inence in Morgan county. 1t is gen.
orally known in many of the pastures
in the county. In spite of the fact
that Morgan county is near the
northern limit of it's endurance, 1t Is
likely that it matured seed this year.
1t was seen in bloom as early as the
third week in September. The seed
is hard to find in the plant Ex-
perienced farmers say that they have
seen it frosted, and were unable to
find seed or blossom, but it came on
the next year 1t is rather reliable
in seeding habits.
In this section, it is an ideal pas
ture plant. 1t comes on in the
spring and makes it's rankest growth
when bluegrass is brought on by the
the hot weather. 1t comes in bloom
when bleugrass is brought on by the
fall rains. Being legume, it is a
good soil improver. When sown on
eroded or bare hillsides. it has
brought bluegrass sod in with it in
few years.
The rate of seeding is upward to
five pounds of seed per acre. 1t is
best sown broadcast on the frozen
ground in January.
Try few pounds.
