BIG FIGHTING CARD
SCHEDULEDNONDAY

What is considered one Of the best
boxing cards ever pulled off in this
city, twenty-eight rounds, will take
place at the Opera House on Monday
night, April 7, under the auspices of
the Frank Perkins post of the Amer
lean Legion. Tom Danforth of Gallup
promoting the matches
The main go is twelve-round
bout between Kid Julien of Colorado
and George Keyes of Wyoming. ].
Julien in the main battle of the
evening, but owing to the fact that
he broke his hand in recent match
at Gallup with the Colorado boy, he
will not be able to fight George
Keyes, who has been substituted in
his place, is man of proved fight
ing record, although a stranger in
the Southwest. In an exhibition
match that he gave in Gallup the
other night, she drew much attention
and admiration for himself showing
that he is a real artist with the
mitts. Both Julien and Keyes have
a number of hard-fought ring vic
tories to their credit and the match
between them will be deserving of
a full house. Julien will be in Wins
low Sunday and his opponent will
probably arrive the same day. Both
men are working hard and will be
in tip-top condition when they face
each other in their fistic combat.
In the semi wind-up of eight
rounds, the contestants are Young
Herrera of Albuquerque and Young
Garduno of this city. Young Gar
duno's fighting ability is well known
to Winslow fans. If Herrera can
stand his place, as it is reputed he
can, the semi wind-up will be a
wildcat affair in itself.
Other preliminaries are four
round match between Sailor Riley
of Washington and George Bartlett
of Gallup and a four-round combat
between Mike Tracy of Gallup and
Bull Dog Brown of Texas. All these
boys have been following the leather
pushing game for some time, having
put up some whirlwind scraps lately
in Gallup.
I. Manager Danforth has arranged a
boxing card to occur at Gallup on
the night of the 11th The main go
at that time will be between George
Gustovich, Chicago fighter, and
George Keyes. In the event that
Keyes loses to Julien here Monday
night the latter will meet Gustovich.

LARGE NUMBER
OF BOY SCOUTS
GIVEN BADGES

That the youths of the city are
taking an active and commendable
interest in the Boy Scout organiza-
tion and that they are receiving valu-
able training and instruction there
from was evidenced last Saturday
night when Court of Honor was held
in the City hall for the purpose Of
examining Scouts for promotion and
of presenting badges. A large num-
Der of Scouts from all three troops
of the local organization were present
for the occasion.
R. K Corkhill, chairman, Charles
Daze, R. M. Bruchman, r. B. Lam
caster and Scout Executive Charles
IS. Mccormick of the court of honor
presided at the meeting. During the
session of the court 27 badges were
presented to members Of the organi-
zation including ten tenderfoot, six
second class and eleven merit badges.
The first Scouts to come before the
court were from Troop No. 2, which
has just been organized with ]. A.
Barstow scoutmaster, and which is
sponsored by the Rotary Club. Ten
boys of this troop qualified for ten
derfoot badges, reciting the Scout
law and the oath in a manner which
showed that they were thoroughly
familiar with both Chairman Cork
hill then presented the group with
badges and after doing so he expressed
the hope that the members of Troop
No. 2 would live up to the law and
the oath which they had taken. The
following boys were awarded the
tenderfoot insignia: Arthur Phillips,
Jack Thomas, George Jackson, John
Phillips, Dennis Sweeney, Clarence
Houck, Alvey Creel, Jack Hynes, Le-
Roy Hadley and Elmer Sorensen.

TOWN COUNCIL
EXTENDS FIRE
DISTRICT EAST.

Among the things considered by
the Town council at it's regular meet
ing Tuesday afternoon in the council
chambers was a petition for extend
ing the fire limit in the east part
of the city, which was passed with
the provision that the fire restrictive
district be extended from the alley
between Apache and Colorado ave
nues to Snyder street, distance of
one and a half blocks. The petition
was signed by most of the residents
in the district.
A dog ordinance imposing a tax
on all dogs and providing for the
determination of the same unless a
license fee is paid, was also passed
by the council. The measure imposes
a tax of three dollars on male and
five dollars on female dogs. The or
dinance now in effect is impractic-
able necessitating the adoption of
the new one, which is enforceable
and should give satisfactory regula-
ton. The measure is printed in other
columns of the Mail.
Motion was made and passed that
City Attorney c. III. Jordan look over
the various town ordinances and
bring them up to date. The city
attorney was also instructed to ne
gotiate with the Santa Fe railway
on the Williamson street easement.
A. R. Kleindienst appeared before
the council and asked thatssthe Anne
rican Legion be given permission to
hold their weekly meeting in the City
hall. After due consideration the
town board granted = the request.
Practically all the cities in the state
as we'll as throughout the nation have
given the organization this privilege,
and the council was of the opinion
that Winslow should do likewise.
The I. o. 0. F. lodge rendered a
check of $40 in payment on the 90
segregated cemetery lots which it
bought from the city. The order is
the first of the organizations to make
a payment on. segregated lots pur-
chased under the segregated-plot pro-
vision.

his letter and sweater. Despite the
fact that he did not have very much

a good showing that he is now consi-
dered one of the best basket shooters

THOMAS JEFFERSON
MEMORIAL DRIVE TO
START ON monday

Schools throughout Navajo county
will commemorate the birth of
Thomas Jefferson on Friday, April
IL, according to plans announced by
Sam W. Proctor, chairman of the
foundation work in Navajo county
Each school is requested to arrange
a program suitable to the occasion,
at which time the pupils, teachers
and parents of the community will
be asked to contribute to the Jeffer~
son Memorial fund.
Each pupil is asked to take penny
share. in "Monticello". Others may
contribute whatever amount they care
to give. All money collected on this
day should be sent to the chairman at
Winslow who will give receipt for
it, and see that it is properly applied
to the purpose for which intended
The money collected in this drive will
be applied to the fund for the pur-
chase Of the home of Thomas Jeffer-
son, and no one high or low will re-
ceive one penny for his part in put
ting over this drive, all work being
patriotically contributed by people
interested in this worthy affair.
Thomas Jefferson was born on
April 13, 1743. With the passing of
the years since his death, on July 4,
1926, the anniversary of the day just
half century before-when the i'm
mortal document which he had pre-
pared announced to the world the in
dependence, of the United States of
America, the observance of his birth
day has become more and more gene
raj throughout the country. In schools
and by patriotic societies the birth of
Jefferson has gradually come to be
regarded as an occasion calling for
special recognition In Democratic
political circles especially it has long
been the chief red letterday on the
calendar, just as to Republicans
Abraham Lincoln's birthday has
served as the most fitting occasion
for the declaration of their faith.
But, as in the case of Lincoln's
birthday, that of jefferson appears
to be gradually but surely losing it's
particular dedication to the promul-
cation of the tenets and the glorifi-
cation of the achievements of one par
ticular political party and is coming
to be recognized as an occasion de-
serving of wider and more national
significance, approaching the observ-
ance of Washington's birthday.
This year, the observance of Jeffer-
sons birth will be of genuinely
national character, for there is moth
ing sectional or partisan or sectarian
in the interest which has been dis
played in the effort to make his
home, Monticello, permanent ma
tional memorial Republicans and

AMERICAN LEGION EXECUTIVE
MEETING HELD AT PRESCOTT

Joseph Lieberman, commander of
the Frank Perkins post, returned
Monday morning from Prescott where
he attended an executive meeting of
the American Legion held in that
city on Sunday.
At the meeting the executive COM
mittee drew up a state bonus bill
which will be presented to the next
session of the Arizona legislature in
January. The measure provides for
a cash payment of $40 for each
month spent in the service. The
consensus of opinion among the Le-
gionaires is that the proposed bill
will be passed when it comes up for
consideration, as both the governor
and the members of the Legislature
have expressed themselves in favor
of it.
The executive committee definitely
decided to hold the state Legion con-
vention in Yuma on May 8, 9 and 10.
The local post has set out to obtain
a 100 percent membership before the
convention is held. Local veterans of
the World War who have not already
joined the Legion are urgently re-
QueSted TO DO so. Inc FRANK PerKlnS
post desires to make as good a
showing at the convention as pos
sible. and in order to do this it
must have a 100 percent membership.
"The Whipping Boss, an unusual
and elaborate cinema production, will
be shown at the Opera House on
April "a under the auspices of the
local post. Every one should see
this picture; it is not an ordinary
one.
Plans for the Fourth of July cele-
bration are progressing rapidly and
"a number of special features are
being arranged. The Fourth will be
the biggest day that Winslow has
seen in long time. Detailed infor
nation of the celebration will be
printed in later issues of the Mail.

PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
TO HOLD 1925 CONVENTION HERE

Winslow has been selected by the
Arizona Parent-Teachers association
for its annual convention in 1925, as
a result of decision reached at
a meeting of the board in Globe last
Friday. The convention was brought
to this city through the instrument
atty of Miss Mary Brown, super
visor of the primary grade schools,
who attended the Globe meeting as
a delegate of the local Parent Teacher
association, and who extended an in
vitation to the organization to con-
yena in Winslow.
Phoenix also extended an invita-
ton, but since a convention has never
been held in the northern part of
the state, it was decided to accept
Miss Browns invitation and hold the
1925 meeting in this city.
Miss Brown gave report of the con-
vention at Globe to the local Parent
Teacher association Tuesday after
noon, and when she announced to
the members that the next meeting
would be held in Winslow, the women
applauded, and assured her that the
delegates would be heartily welcomed
and we'll taken care of when they
come to this city. A standing vote
of thanks was given Miss Brown for
her commendable work as delegate

JUNIORS TO PRESENT
THE CHARM SCHOOL !"

"The Charm School,, a comedy, bp
Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton
will be presented by the Junior Class
of the Winslow High School in the
Washington School Auditorium on
Saturday, April r.
The plot revolves around Austin
Bevans, a young automobile sales
man, who suddenly finds himself
owner of the Fairview School for
Girls-an Institution making a speci-
atty of college examinations and
mortgaged beyond its value. Austin,
who firmly believes that girls should
be taught charm above all else, has
difficulty in persuading Homer Johns,
the irate financier who holds the
mortgages, not to foreclose but to
permit him to run the school accord
ing to his own ideas. Mr.. Johns at
last agrees under two conditions, the
important one being that no pupil is
to fall in love with Austin, who com
placently guarantees that will not
happen. In order to avoid being in
sistent in this theory that men can
best teach girls Charm, he is forced
to place his friends in positions of
authority.
One of the first amusing circum-
stances to arise is when the girls
mistake Homer Johns for their new
principal, and decide to 60 home in
body. Miss Hays, the capable and
