HOW ABOUT THE
THAT
YOU INTENDED
7 0 SEND IN?

The slogans for the Winslow Com
mercial club are steadily coming in,
but not fast enough to satisfy the
committee of one, who is receiving
and tabulating the returns.
At noon Wednesday, when this was
written, forty-five witty and express
sive slogans had been received. Five
of those had come in Wednesday
morning. Two were received from
some anonymous contributor, we
think woman, from the handwriting,
and postmarked at railway postal
cancellation, Ashfork to Los Angeles.
so we are not aware of what western
town it comes. Newspapers as rule
do not print anonymous letters, but
in this case The Mail is going to
reproduce the letter accompanying
her (or maybe his) two contribu
tions. The letter follows:
Contest Editor, Winslow Mail:
81 am interested very much in the
slogan for our worthy city of Wins
low.
81 wish to congratulate Mr.. O'Brien
on his lovely poem, for he has sure
ly praised our wonderful Arizona.
With all due respect to Mr.. O'Brien
1 am enclosing few lines-but not
az poem
"Here are some phrases, just try
outs, at the slogan"
(Here the contest editor deletes two
slogans submitted in fairness to the
contributor and others, none of whose
slogans will be made public until the
winner is announced). The letter
continues:
'Now, Mr.. O'Brien:
eve can live without scenery so
grand,
We can live without color so rare,
But please show us the man,
That can live without fresh air.
Now I'm no poet and you know it,
But this fact we all will confess,
There's not climate so healthful,
AS the dear old out West
So I'll tell you what, I'm agona
Pack my grip, for farewell trip,
Back home to dear old Arizona.
Just an Arizona Booster"
Owing to the fact that Superintend-
ent Grady Gammage is anxious for
the students of the high and grade
schools to make study Of slogans
in regular English class work, the
contest, instead of being closed this
week as first announced, will be kept
open until January 10, which will al
low all next week for the schools to
work UP and send in their findings.
The schools should contribute at
least one hundred, and at least one
person is going to be disappointed If
they don't.
Out of population of at least 4,5OO,
only forty-fve slogans have so far
been received, which makes one slo-
gan for every 100 people, but some
persons have sent in several, so that
the percentage is not higher than one
in about two hundred.
The contest will close on the 10th.
The directors of the Commercial club,
acting as judges, will pick the three
winners before the evening of We'd
nesday, the 14th, and on Friday, Janu-
ary 16, the names of the winners, the
slogans, possibly all contributed, will
be published in The Winslow Mail.

Ankles to Be Seen i'm
Next Courts in England

London.-If dresses designed for the
next courts at Buckingham palace, now
on view at the shops Of various mo-
distes, are followed, there will be less
material seen than usual, and more of
the wearers' ankles.
Most of the models on view have the
extremely short skirts which have
come into vogue since the last court
was held, and against which there is at
present no official regulations. The cut
Of the neck is very discreet, while the
length Of train and the veil is also re-
stricted as at previous courts.
One dress on view is Of silver and
lace finished with ostrich feathers.
Another Is of pale pink brocade with a
girdle Of brilliants and train Of gold
lace, while third Is of silver and pale
mauve.

What My Neighbor Says
Is of Interest to Pocomol:e City Folks.

When one has had the misfortune
20 suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills-and has found relief from
oil this sickness and suffering, that
persons advice is Of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The following
case is only one of many thousands,
but it it that of a Pocomoke City resi-
dent. Who could ask for a better ex-
ample?
j. Carl Ross, prop. cigar & news
stand, Ill w. Willow St., says: 81
suffered with sharp cutting pains in
my back and, at times, / couldn't
stoop. My kidneys acted irregularly,
too. l got no relief until l bought
Doan's Pills, at Lloyd 4 Blaine's Drug
Store. The complaint disappeared and
my kidneys got WELL"
SEVERAL YEARS LATER, Mr..
Ross said: Il can always depend on
Doan's to relieve me-"
Price Coo, at al dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Pills-the same that Mr..
Ross had. Foster Mil5urn Co.. Mfrs.

lof one chickadee; a nighthawk made
a meal on 600 grasshoppers; flicker
devoured 1000 chinch bugs; scarlet

liars in Is minutes or at the rate Of

throat ate $500 plant lice in 40 min
utes or at the rate of 5000 an hour.
Without birds insects could not be

Every year there is a fight against
bugs There's pest for every plant.
Scientists describe over 100000 kinds
of insects and there are many more
that have not yet been described In
sects destroy one-tenth of all the
grain, fruit, and vegetables grown.
The damage due to them every year
is fully two billion dollars.
Insects lay many eggs and produce
a great number of young. 1t is esti-
mated that one pair of potato beetles
in one season if left undisturbed would
multiply to 6O,OOO,OOO. The offspring
from single pair of Gypsy moths, If
not checked, would in 8 years become
SO numerous as to destroy all the
plants.
insects are great eaters. Many
caterpilars daily eat twice their
weight. This is equal to an OK de-
vouring three-fourths of a ton of
grass day.
Some caterpillars eat 200 times
their own weight in "a hours This
would be equal to a 200-pound man
eating 20 tons of food day. Certain
taterpillars in 80 days increase in
size 10000 times. If boy grew at
this rate ne would weigh 40 tons when
ne became of age.
1t takes lots of food to keep such
large families of insects growing at
such rapid rates.
No spraying material however
cheap and effective can do all that
bids do to kill insects and the birds
do it without cost.
Every destructive insect is on the
bill of fare of one or more Of
our native birds. Even birds that do
not eat insects to any great extent
themselves, feed insects to their
young. The saving of crops due to
birds is estimated at $444,000,000 ev-
cry year.
Birds are as great eaters as in
sects are. Many birds eat more than
their own weight daily. To give an
idea of the number of insects eaten
by birds, we quote from Chapman:
"The stomach of single cedar wax
wing contained 100 canker worms;
one cuckoo ate $50 caterpillars; 454
plant lice were found in the stomach

AGRICULTURE
BANKERS SHOULD PROMOTE
DAIRY FARMING

There are a few farmers who do not
know the Importance Of raising dairy
cattle. The millions of acres of worn
out land are testimony to the need Of
conserving soil fertility and this can
be accomplished only by diversified
farming, the growing Of legume crops,
the raising Of dairy cattle and other
live stock and the placing of the ma
rure back on the land.
Dairy cattle utilize cheap roughage
such as corn stover, fodder and straw,
which usually goes to waste. Feed
| ing the crops to dairy cattle and re-
turning the manure to the land main
tains the supply of nitrogen and other
plantfood elements.
This not only means more prosperi-
ty for the farmers and the commu-
nifty but it means continued prosperity
and bankers can perform no greater
service to the people than to encour-
age and, when necessary, finance the
growing of dairy cattle.
An educational extension depart
ment should be portion of the &C.
Invites Of every banking institution
This should be in charge of trained
and experienced agriculturist, who
should act as farm advisor.
He should keep in close touch with
the farmers, and in every way en-
courage the growing of dairy cattle.
He should point out the increased
profits that come from marketing
grain and forage crops in the form Of
beef, pork, mutton or dairy products
and the Importance Of maintaining
soil fertility. He should assist in or.
ganizing stock improvement associa.
tions in the community; held the
farmers in marketing dairy products
take leading part in the organiza.
ton of agricultural fairs and exhibits
live stock shows and Chautauquas; be
instrumental in forming calf pig ant
poultry clubs and in interesting the
boys and girls in raising live stock
And finally he could prove of assist.
ance in the procuring of farm loan;
for financing those who desire to raise
GARY cattle.

He was liberated yesterday by a

Of the Farmers union, the Equity Co
operative exchange and the National
Producers alliance into Il single CO.
operative body was one OF the mat
ters scheduled for early consideration
at the sessions which will close
Thursday.
Mr.. Barrett pictured the American
farmer as "a great big giant and de-
clared that if the farmers got to-
gether and stayed together. they
could get almost anything they
wanted.
"Our duty" he said, "is to organ
ize, train and control this giant
force in order that it will function
