Correct Weight of Ice
Guaranteed by Machine

Instinctively every housewife OBJ
jects to the haphazard guesswork
of the ice salesman, compelled by
antiquated methods to chop and
saw the block as he sells the ice.
Every dispute over short weight,
justified or not, proves her desire
for an ice service in which she can
repose the same confidence with
which she accepts her sack of
flour, her pound of butter and every
other commodity sold to her in
standard weights.
The sale Of scored ice, the system
to be used hereafter by the
Winslow Supply company, with
its mechanical, absolutely accurate
division of the block, with it's cakes
of exact weight and always uniform
size, provides this service, and will
be a service greatly appreciated by
ice consumers in Winslow.

now looking forward to many of
these enjoyable hikes and picnics.

WirslOw Mail Adds New
Department to Columns


The statement made here last by
L. G. Boggs, poultry expert of the
extension department of the state
university, that conditions about
Winslow are among the best in the
southwest for the profitable raising
of chickens and the marketing Of
eggs, and the fact that a great
many people are becoming interest
ed in poultry raising, impels The
Winslow Mail to add another de-
partment for the benefit of those
who are attempting to build up a
poultry-raising business.
The department will consist of
regular contributions by Mr.. Boggs
on the proper care of chickens,
their feed, diet, etc. The Mail
hopes that more people in this vi
cinity will become interested in this
business, and Mr.. Boggs has offered
to cooperate through The Mial
with anyone who wishes informa-
ton not furnished in his published
articles.

BANK BANDITS ARE
NOW COMING EAST
TURN AWAY FROM WEST AND
ITS EVER READY GUARDS.
SEEKING EASIER FIELDS.

Bank bandits, put out of business in
the west by armed posses that shoot
to kill, are migrating to New York
city and other large cities of the east.
That is the warning that has been
sounded in New York by William b..
Boyce, chairman of the National Sure
ty Company. He urges that the east
also form vigilance committees to bat
tie the bank robbers.
Crooks win not go to work" MIR.
Boyce asserted. IF one place is made
too hot for them they pack up and
move to new fields. The bank robbers,
with armed guards on watch through
out the west, have virtually been put
out of business. They are going east
to new fields.
The east has efficient bodies of po-
lice. something the small western
towns lack, but these hardened bank
robbers must be dealt with on the
spot. They will escape before police
can be notified 1t may be necessary,
as a result of the eastward migration
of the bandits, for big cities like New
York and Philadelphia to organize
their own vigilance committees to pro-
tect the banks.

mot Much Farm Land Left"
Do YOU think this picture is over
drawn Then consider these impress
i've figures. In 1880 the population
OF the United States was 50,155,783.
In 1920 our population was 1O57l0,-
go, an increase of 10 per cent in Az
wears. In 1880 the improved land III
farms of the United States amounted
to 284771 042 acres. In 1920 the i'm
proved farm land amounted to sos
I073,O07 acres, an increase of only II
per cent. But the impressive fact IS
that there can be no such future in
crease in cultivated farm land because
there is not much left to put under
cultivation Our future calculations
must be based on the farm land that
we now have plus an additional avail
able supply about equal in area to the
state of Illinois.
During the same period of 40 years
we find the following facts with refer
ence to the five principal food grains
wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley.
In 1880 there were devoted to these
five crops 118,805,952 acres and in
1920 219,030,756 acres, an increase of
"a per cent in the number of acres in
40 years. During the same period the
production increased from 2,70l SAL
789 bushels in 1880 to 1850, S6419
bushels in 1920, an increase Of only
70 per cent. But it should be borne in
mind that the additional acreage put
under cultivation in that period was
chiefly rich virgin soil, so that the de-
crease in productivity on the older
land is greater than the average Tor
the whole country. In other words,
there was an actual and substantial de-
crease in the production OF these five
food crops per care.
1t makes no difference what was the
money value of these crops. 1t is the
quantity of food grains that keeps the
people from starvation and not the
price per bushel The impressive de-
crease in the production per acre is a
matter of great and serious conse-
quence.

ulation was VA per cent of the total.

Moreover, about $3O00,000 addition

clined persons who applied for exemp-
tons for alleged charity, which chart

is an income tax on it," said Mr. Fow-

One honest" bootlegger laid before
the income tax department complete
record of his business, and hased his
income tax accordingly. He demand
ed, however, specific exemption for
losses incurred when hijackers stole

Most of the bootleggers curtaied
their honesty as far as making a com
