Air meets are being held in many
cities over the country, still further
spreading the propaganda for avia
ton. Sacramento, Calf, last week
gave a celebration similar to the
one held in Winslow, and the sue
cess attained there inspired that
city to announce that the affair
would be an annual one.
1t has been suggested that Wins
low provide for an annual celebra-
ton to stimulate interest in the
Tri-State Airway, and that an as
ISOLATION be formed at once to pre-
pare for next years program. The
experience gained at this time will
prove of inestimable value, and
whatever shortcomings were mani
fest in our first great endeavor will
make for an even more successful
event in the years to come. Gallup,

ceremonial, was four years or more
working up to the stage where it
is now. Each year it's celebration
increases in interest and drawing
power and adds lustre to the repu-
tation of the Eand of Enchant-
ment. Prescott is reaping benefits
in great measure from it's annual
Frontier Days celebration, as have
the farther-away cities of Pendle-
ton, Ore, and Cheyenne, Wyo.
The success of aviation needs to
be celebrated, and Winslow seems
to be the logical point for the an
nual celebration.

Bill Strobe, special writer and
noted authority on all the beauty

was a member of Governor Hunts

Gallup, New Mexico about noon
Saturday, and left before noon on
Sunday, and therefore were unable
to witness the best part of the

glad when 1 get back to earth that
I'll never want to take another

I thought I would feel like I had

went, but never again! In fact,
before 1 went up I was Cup in the

started and we made our first leap
I knew that 1 was having an alto
gether new experience. Roller
coasters and shoot-the-chutes were
not in it.
We first started a circle around
the town and the first impression
l had was that of a little play city
like l used to build when l thought
fairies hid\ in the flowers, when l
made mud pies and wore a big blue
hair ribbon on top of my head. 1t
was a beautifully laid out little
city, and there were tiny bug-like
things crawling up and down the
streets. Could those be automo-
biles? And then I had to laugh,
right up in the air and all to my
self.
AS some one else has said, What
fools we mortals be-" Why, how
small and insignificant we really
are compared with the greatness of
the world, and how trivial we and
our individual trials must seem to
our Creator. Yes, it was just a
little play town, just pretty little
green spot in the middle of the
desert where the people of Wins
low are playing until they are
called for real work and real serv-
ice in a much bigger world.
All at once l remembered that

speed. Things moved so slowly be-
meath that it was hard to imagine
we were going fast. Then the old
plane tilted and started to climb
in circle for altitude. Was the
thing going to tip over? Well,
what if it did, thought, and l was
secretly hoping we would do some
dips or a tail spin Here I had
taken the ride so that I could get a
real thrill out of being scared and

muster into service / wasn't any
more excited than a humble bee
sucking honey from hyacinth. But
I wasn't disappointed.
When we finally reached the
ground again-and on the descent

that l was going up again before
long, and I had to laugh again.
Cup in the air!" What an out
of-date expression to be so up-to-

A FRIENDLY SPIRIT.

0NCE upon a time, just before
the days of self-starters, and
when the saddle-makers occupied
business sites on Main street,
there might have been an excuse
for one community panning an
other, playing dirty tricks to Sc
cure patronage and popularity, and
the spirited contention between
neighboring communities.
Nowadays, however, with inter-
communication developed to the
degree it is, instead of contention
there should be cooperation. Each
city should be glad to say good
word for it's neighbor to the east or
west. No good can arise from one
community belittling another in
this age.
1t behooves Winslow to do all in
its power to aid Holbrook, Spring
erville, ST, Johns and Gallup carry
out the projects they start. A re-
turn of favors will naturally fol-
low, and Winslow is today deeply
indebted to both Holbrook and Gal
lup for the success of the airway
celebration.
Holbrook, our nearest neighbor,
naturally sent many visitors to our
celebration, led by Miss Flanagan,
who was elected by choice of the
people there to represent them.
John Brown, of the Liberty The
alter, and the editors of the Hol-
brook Tribune did fine publicity
work for Winslow, and Winslow
people and The Winslow Mail will
do, we expect, as we'll by Holbrook
for the automobile races May 80
and 81.
Gallup, for several years gaining
experience in such matters by its
Inter Tribal ceremonial, realizes
the value of a cooperative spirit
between towns, and really made the
first overtures in closer relation
ship between Gallup and Winslow
We appreciate it, and appreciate
having had their chosen represent
alive, Miss Peterson, and her
remember it when the next cere-
monial celebration is held there.
Kingman, two hundred miles
friends with us, and Winslow will
away, largely through the efforts
of w. G. Damon, of the Mohave
County Miner, and Willis J. Black,
probably supported the celebration
the best of any city along the route,
and sent Miss Schell, a charming
young lady, to do the honors for
them. When the time comes, Wins
low will boost for Kingman in rec
ognition of it's service for us.
Williams responded nobly, and
Miss Selmon, it's popularity elected
representative, typified by her spir-
it the spirit of her town. Wins
low thanks Williams, and on June
10, when Williams dedicates it's
flying field, Winslow will be repre-
sented by large numbers.

THE CELEBRATION.

A LTHoUGH rather inauspiciously
opened the first day, because OF
the high south wind which played
havoc with the plans arranged, the
Tri-State Airway dedication cele-
bration wound up gloriously Sun
day evening with a spectacular
parachute jump, which was a fit
ting climax to the two days sport,
following the interesting stunts,
flights and maneuvers participated
in by the thirteen military and
civilian planes.
Winslow's first big celebration
was wonderful High praise is
given the city by most of the Wis
itors, for it's enterprise in taking
advantage of the opportunity fit
tingly to dedicate what will be
known in the future as one of the
pioneer air travel routes
Those people who attended the
aviation banquet Saturday evening
and listened to the many speeches
of the visiting air officers and
other guests, are we'll aware of the
importance of the dedication, AMI
what the effects of the work that
has been done in Winslow for the
last six months will be.
However, the work is only begun.
1t is not finished, by any means.
Much hard and persistent work re-
mains to be done for this city, and
all the cities along the line of the
Tri-State Airway. While this line
is reported, by the officers who
have inspected flying and landing
conditions, to be one of the best
prospective air travel routes in the
country, and will in the future en-
Joy the distinction of being the
main connecting line between the
east and the west as was the old
Santa Fe trail, with which the new
highway keeps company, much Ia
Dor must still be done to let the
flying world know of the advan-
tages of the Tri-State route, and a
great deal must still be done to
provide still more landing places,
emergency fields and conveniences
and maps especially prepared for
airmen.
Some time during the summer
there will be held, in Kansas City,
a national air race program, in
which many hundreds of planes
will compete. From Southern Cali
fornia alone not less than seventy.
five ships will attend. The several
Santa Monica, Los Angeles and
San Diego flyers who were visitors
here Saturday and Sunday state
that without doubt they will all fly
over the Tri-State route going to
and returning from the races.
With them becoming acquainted
with the route, and spreading the
word among eastern, northern and
southern airmen, that safe and
practicable transcontinental route
is open the year around, travel will
increase until the air will be as
filled with planes as the National
Old Trails is filled with automo-
biles.
Airway travel is destined to be-
come one of the important modes
of handling passenger, mail and
freight business. People are rap
idly becoming educated to air trav-
ell, its convenience and safety. Mail
hauling has been proven feasible
after months of successful expert
ments. Freight is now being han
died by planes.

SOME FINE WRESTLING

The wrestling exhibition given by
the Central Athletic Club Tuesday
evening drew a big house and gave
general satisfaction.
The first event was a handicap be-
tween Kid Miller, who to win had to
dispose Of two opponents inside of
thirty minutes. He put down Harold
Graft in nine minutes and then dis
posed of Homer Roman in nineteen,
thus winning the match.
The semi-final between | rish Pat
Horan, of New York, and Ralph Lane
of Newark, best two fall out of three,
was fast and exciting. Lane won the
first in fifteen minutes, but the next
two went to Horan in one and six
minutes respectively.
The main eevnt was between Ernie
Maddocks, Of Cleveland, and New

went for eight, two and five min

paid is illegal. Officials of the
treasury department endeavored
to keep this information secret,
but the supreme court said:

A BIG TIME
Promised by the Committee in Charge
of the Centennial Celebration
on the Fourth of July

A good observation of the Fourth
of July this year in Newark and Lick
ing county is reasonably assured, ac-
cording to the announcement of the
committee in charge of the event.
AS was originally intended, fea-
ture of the days observation will be
the placing of an appropriate shaft
or marker at the point, four miles
southwest of the city, where 100
years ago the first shovelful of the
Ohio canal was eXcavated by Cover
nor Clinton Of New York and Cover
nor Marrow Of Ohio.
The Trades and Labor Assembly,
which took the initial step in the
movement, anDointed a general COM
mittee which secured the support,
moral and financial, Of all of the labor
locals, patriotic societies, soldier and
civic organizations. They have also
brought the matter to the attention
of the Boy Scouts.
Cooperation Of the Boy Scouts
has been invited and the committee
hopes to have the Scouts in line for
the march to the marker and back.
Invitations have been sent to Gov
ernor Al Smith of New York and
Governor Vic Donahey to be present.
1t is possible that the governors of
both states will be here as they were
100 years ago, when the first shovel
full was taken out Of the canal bed
The committee in charge has Wis
tied the place where the work is sup
posed to have started, about four
miles west of Newark, and selected
the site for the memorial, which will
consist of an appropriate shaft, to be
designed by Architect G. A. Ball.

To Prohibition
Students

Dear Puzzled People:
Have you read that latest ruling of
the Internal Revenue Department of
our government relative to bootleg
gers? 1t appears that bootleggers
must pay the government the income
tax on their illegal earnings, but
must not deduct the amount that they
pay to police and dry agents for pro
lection" Isn't that a puzzler? 1t
would appear to a casual observer
that the government is insisting on
sharing the profits Of the bootleg
gers, but will not recognize the eX-
penditures necessary to the successful
conduct Of this recognized business.
However, there is one clear way Of
avoiding this apparent injustice
don't bootleg or patronize the boot
leggers. Then you won't be paying
their income tax, directly or Indirect
ly. "FATHER TOLEDO",

B. & 0. Railroad to
Resume Excursions

The public will welcome the good
news that railroads will resume this
summer, pre-war excursions to the
New Jersey Coast Resorts.
General Passenger Agent Squig-
gins of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road has announced that the former
popular sixteen day pre-war excur-
sions to Atlantic City, Cape May and
other New Jersey Coast Resorts
would be resumed, and that the Bal
timore and Ohio would operate sea-
shore excursions on July 18th and
August 3rd.
The rate will be one fare plus one
dollar for the round trip, and tickets
will be sold from Louisville, Seymour,
Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Avilla,
Cleveland, Columbus, Athens and in
termediate territory.
Tickets will be honored in parlor
and sleeping cars and stop-over will
be accorded at Washington, Balti-
more and Philadelphia on return trip.
The seashore excursions which
were discontinued when the railroads
were taken over by the government,
were probably the most popular of all
excursions operated by the railroads
and many appeals have been made
from time to time for their resump-
ton.

Home brewers are safe from
raids by prohibition agents, un-
der a ruling by Chief Justice

court, unless the agents, in ap-
plying for search warrants, can
show that sale of the product
was made on their premises. If
the character of the home is
changed to that of store or shop

To make it success,
For watchful waiting will not do
At all, you must confess.
There's June, July and August,
Not so very long, at that.

You must now go to the bat.

Back them up in what they do;
Then you're bound to be successful
