and every time you open your mouth,
it will be full of sand When we
got here we found that we were
swept off our feet, not by wind, but
by friendliness, and that when we
open our mouths, the sand can not
get in because we are so anxious to
say something friendly and kindly, be-
ing prompted by the spirit around u.s.

And here's extracts from a couple
of paragraphs sent in by E. Pluribus
| Unum:
"The heart of the land where Ma
ture's great alchemist changed for
est into stone; where her great artist
dipped her brush into the colors of
the rainbow and with lavish and un-
erring hand painted a masterpiece
upon the bosom of the earth; where
her sculptor cleaved the planet and
filled the cleft with mountains and
monuments that will stand with the
Pyramids of Egypt as silent sentinels
of the centuries; where her great
gunner fired from out the celestial
sphere the most tremendous meteoric
bullet that ever struck it's mark on
this globe
Also by e. Pluribus Unum, sug-
gestion after the Newport News:
"North-Painted Desert, Hopi Land,
Natural Bridge. East-Petrified For
est. West-Meteor Mountain, Cliff
Dwellings, Grand Canyon. South
Americas greatest virgin forest,

The following booster letter con-
tains much food for thought:
II am enclosing names of few
Of the wonders of our state that come
to my mind to be used in advertis-
ing Winslow, not so much for slo-
gan, but to help boost Arizona and
Winslow.
"Also this information, I received
some time ago: There is an old map
in Washington, dating back, many
years, with an arrow pointing to what
is now Arizona, and this notation:
THE Wonder Spot of the World
have not verified this statement, but
have no reason to doubt it.
"a suggestion to the railroads:
That they use as large type in print
ing the word Arizona, as California
and Colorado, when advertising west
ern scenery.

And Mrs. Frona A. Parr, busy busi-
ness woman and housekeeper, takes
time from her many duties to COM
pose the following verses of good
cheer:
"GOlden Rule WinSlOW
''If you want to come to Winslow
Anytime during the year,
You will always find a warm welcome,
And an abundance of good cheer.
eve have everything heart could wish
for,
High dry climate and spring water
too,
And our business people never forget
The lessons of the Golden Rule.
Every day the sun will greet you
AS you look our wonders DER,
And the hand-clasp of our people
VIII be stronger than any you've had
before.
THE sands of our Painted Desert
You can gather, there'll be no fee,
And you'll always wander back
To our Winslow on main line Santa
Fe"
Slogan No. 81, while too long for
the purpose of a slogan, is neverthe-
less fine verse of poetry, and will
bear re-reading, and when read slow
ly, as poetry rightly should be, will
prove more charming with each read
ing. Mrs. E. w. McClung is the au-
thor. Because we like it, and for
your convenience, we reprint it below
"Winslow, the oasis of good cheer,
Health and prosperity the whole year,
place with an altitude just so
To escape the summers heat
And winters snow.
With sunsets most appealing,
Heavens glory thus revealing
And Painted Desert near at hand
With Othor mvctorioS of an anpha MT
ed land"
The Commercial club, its directors
and officers wish to thank all those
who manifested sufficient interest to
submit slogans, and for the very
many expressions of felicitation in line
with the new Winslow spirit, all OF
which will tend toward a greater city
