Agriculture Is to Be
Encouraged by Gales

In an effort to establish mum
Der of agriculture banks to. assist
the small farmers, President Gales
of Mexico is endeavoring to induce
individuals and corporations hold
ing large tracts of land in Mexico
to invest minimum of $4,000 in
such banks. The government would
extend adequate facilities and
guarantees to the investors.
The number of banks in each
district would be limited, while
loans to farmers would be guaran-
teed by the machinery equipment
and the harvest of the farm. The
land itself would be excluded from
the mortgage. The banks would
control or sell the harvests, enjoy
ing priority privileges over all
other creditors.
Six agricultural schools in
which 1,200 farmers are to receive
instruction in agriculture will be
inaugurated Jan. in several states
where the government has ac-
quired large tracts of land.

YOungster Gets Lost
From Home on Desert

Barefoot, almost exhausted, and
with feet full of thistle thOrns and
cactus needles the little 2-year-
old daughter of John Hatchet was
found two miles out on the desert
from the Hatchet home Saturday
evening after a search of several
hours had been made.
The child ran away sometime
during the afternoon, and when
those at the house failed to find
her, her 5-year-old sister came to
town for help. W. H. Berry, George
Jackson and two Mexican boys ac-
companied the little girl to, the
Hatchet home and about five miles
out of Winslow on the Sunset Pass
road. From there they scattered
in all directions. She was found
by one of the Mexican boys, who
ran across her tracks in the sand
and followed them. She was still
going in the opposite direction
from her home when he overlook
her.

LACK OF RAIN IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR
WHITISHICE HERE

There has arisen in Winslow a
question over what causes the ice
from the Santa Fe ice plant to be
whitish instead of purely colorless.
The answer is simple.
The local ice is made from doubly
filtered water from Clear creek. 1t
is the same water that people drink,
and comes from the same source,
but is purified greatly before being
made up into commercial ice
When water is soft" the ice is
clear, but when the water is hard, -
white ice results.
Clear creek water is usually
hard" except in those seasons
when sufficient rains and melting
SHOWS in the mountains combine to
fill the reservoir behind the Clear
creek dam, but when, as this sum-
mer, the rains and SHOWS have
been light, the water is hard" be-
cause of it's high mineral content
picked up as it flows down the can
yon.
The water of Clear creek is con-
sidered most healthful, and tests
show that it's hardness" in no way
detracts from it's purity 1t is, in
fact, more beneficial than absolute
ly pure snow water. 1t requires
none of the "doctoring" which dur
ing the last few years has been
found necessary in those cities
where water is piped from noun
tain springs filled with melting
snow. Iodine in great quantities
is usually put into pure water to
take the place of the minerals nee
essary for the human system, which
are naturally present in hard wa
ter.
There need be no fear of using
the whitish ice for beverage pur-
poses. Most people prefer pure ice
to put in drinks, but it is no better
than the ice being manufactured
and s@d in Winslow now.

Autoists Must Get
License to Drive

The new vehicle law which goes
into effect Oct. 1 provides that
every person who runs an automo-
bile must have drivers license.
This does not apply alone to the
owner of the car, but to everyone
who drives it, wife, son, daughter,
or anyone else This license will
cost in each case soc, but it will
last for lifetime, unless revoked
for cause. Under the law the sher-
iff is bound to enforce it.
Assessor Wallace E. Shumway
estimates that for the year 1926
there will be 1000 cars licensed in
Navajo county. The state allows
20 per cent for the collection of
the fee, and as the average prob
ably will be two drivers to the car,
there will be about 1000 drivers at
soc each. This would give about
$500 in fees to the assessors Of
flee, which would go toward paying
for his deputy.
Before securing a license to
drive his own car, the owner must
secure an Ownership certificate" +"
This will come from the secretary
of state. 1t will cost 81 and must
be obtained before the assessor can
issue license to anyone.
No person under 16 years of age
can secure a license to drive any
automobile, nor will he be allowed
to drive, under the law.
