COUNTY TO BUILD
; AHOME FOR POOR
Cost, Including Land, Will Be
Approximately $4,000, Ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Ward
PRESENT HOME is UNFIT

Orange county is going to
build new county home one
mile out from Hillsboro on the
Durham road. According to
Ralph Ward, chairman of the
board of county commissioners,
the cost will be about $4,000,
including the $1,000 paid for the
land.
Just when the building will
start is not known, since the
subject has not been brought
up at a commissioners meeting
since the purchase of the land ;
but Mr.. Ward thinks start will
be made before many months.
The present home about a
mile and a half north of Ef1and
on the Cedar Grove road has
been unsatisfactory for several
years, because of unsanitary
conditions. There is no record
when it was built, but old-timers
at Hillsboro say it is a hundred
years old. 1t is probably the
oldest county institution of it's
kind in the State. There are
twelve inmates at present, all
of whom are old and destitute
of the twelve, three are negroes.
Under the existing conditions
the home could hardly care for
more. In some places the floors
are rotted and are breeding
places for vermin. All attempts
to rid the place of these pests
have been unsuccessful.

Auctions StrOwd Land
c. H. Ins. and Realty Co. Puts It Up
for Sale Next Week

The Strowd farm-a tract OF
l 200 acres on the edge of Chap
ell Hill, lying along the Durham
road, will be sold at auction next
Wednesday morning. The sale
will begin at half past ten o'clock
and will be conducted by the
Durham Auction Company.
1t promises to be one of the
greatest land sales this section
of the country has seen in long
time.
One unusual feature of it will
be the long period allowed to
purchasers for payment-10
per cent. cash (and the rest in
installments running for nine
years. This is calculated to at
tract persons who are buying
for a rise" In recent years the
price Of land in and around
Chapel Hill has gone up rapidly
and the man who believes the
increase is going to continue
may see here a chance to make
what land traders dearly love
namely, a quick turnover.
The Chapel Hill Insurance and
Realty Company announces that,
for the purpose of the sale, the
tract has been subdivided into
building lots and small farms.

Duke Is Said to Be Planning
A Monster Athletic Stadium
By Chapel Hill-Durham Road

inevitably there is a lot of com.
planning from alumni who don't
obtain the kind of seats they
think they are entitled to. At
ter the match year before last
there arose a cry for a new
stadium here. George Stephens,
w. N. Everett, Foy Robertson,
w. Stamps Howard, and other
prominent alumni wrote letters
to the Chapel Hill Weekly urg-
ing that the alumni get together
and build it. But it is venture
requiring hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars, if it is to be put
through properly, nd the money
for it is not in sight.
Of course the theory of the
Carolina Virginia games is that
they are to be played upon the
home grounds of the two insti-
tutions, alternating year by
year. But, now in this day of
hard-surface roads, it may be
that field part of the way be-
tween Chapel Hill and Durham
not more than twenty or
twenty-five minutes from Chap
el Hill, might be considered
home grounds for Carolina; the
more so, in that this match is
a state and not simply a college
event, and the convenience of
the spectators is an important
consideration. Institutions in
some of the big cities of
the country have athletic
fields which are in no
easier reach, for the students,
than this one would be from the
University campus here.
But Mr.. Duke is not con-
|cerned simply with great spec
tacles. He wants to create a
center which will serve as a
stimulus for what has come to
be called "mass athletics that
is, for the sort of athletic train
ing which takes in not merely a
few picked performers but the
thousands of North Carolina
youths in schools and colleges.
To this end, there will be upon
the tract, ample space for all
manner of outdoor activities.

MacRae Wrecks Store
Tearing 1t Down to Make Room fOl
a Modern Building

All this week Cameron Mac
Rae has had the Wreckers at
work on his ancient store at
Franklin and Henderson streets,
near the post-office. The site
will soon be ready for the work
men to go ahead digging for the
foundations.
Construction will be pushed
rapidly, and before the summer
is gone a modern store-and-of-
flee building, of brick and stone,
will be adorning this corner.
The old frame structure now
destroyed was once the drug
store of the owners father, the
late Robert S. MacRae. Dur.
ing another period it was Kluttz'
store. In recent years it has
passed on from tenant to ten.
ant-plumbers, grocers, fruiter.
ers, and tailors.
The new building will extend
26 feet along the main street
and Ill feet along Henderson
street. The ground floor at the
front will be occupied by some
sort of store, with probably
smaller stores to the rear of il
along the side street. The en-.
trance to the upper floors will
be on the side about rs feet
from the corner. Mr.. MacRae
has announced that anybody
who wants to be tenant should
apply either to. him in Concord
or to the Chapel Hill Insurance
and Realty Company.

Chapel Hill Chaf

were in my house last week for
a day or so. They heard STIR
rings early in the morning and
naturally thought that the place
was all awake. So they began
to practice their speeches about
the port-and-terminal bill. This
was welcome enough to the rest
of us, but 1 have been wonder
ing how it struck S. McClelland
Butt, the Princetonian philoso-
pher who occupies the next room
to the one the girls were in. He
works late at night and sleeps
late in the morning, and it
must have startled him to have
a discussion of North Cardinals
harbors and exorbitant freight
rates, in dulcet feminine tones,
suddenly break in upon his
slumbers. If he ever writes a
book on "Queer Habits of North
Carolinians," I suspect this in
cident will figure in the memoir.
But perhaps his concentration
on sleep withstood the rehearsal,
after all. AS soon as they
learned that there was a sleeper
nearby the girls, with many
apologies, quit cold.

When l walked uptown Sat-
urday morning I found my
neighbors-who had been read:
ing the headline, Graves De-
fendant in $4,000 Damage
Suit regarding me with a
new respect. This made me feel
puffed up. The mere mention
of my name in connection with
such a sum of money put me
up into the class of capitalists,
along with r. l.. Strowd, M. E.
Hogan, Doctor Kluttz, A. S.
Wheeler, S. j. Brockwell, and
Isaac Pritchard. Il imagine the
headline got a smile out Of Mr..
Hogan, though. The cashier of
the hometown bank knows a
lot.)
| recall that at the end of my
first year of newspaper work in
New York, when | went off on
a vacation, I was uneasy lest my
substitute do my job so we'll
that the Times would decide it
didn't need me any more. Much
the same sort of feeling over
came me when l turned my
newspaper over last week to
Gerald Johnson and his journal
ism class. Fortunately, how
ever, this time it was my own
newspaper and l didn't run the
risk of being fired. Several
people have intimated to me
that the public suffered no loss
by the change-which | know
well to be true. To you, Mr..
Johnson and your pupils, | here
by tender my thanks.

CHRISTMAS MAIL
TO BE DELIVERED
BY AUTOMOBILE

Postmaster AL Kleindienst an
nounces that this year the crush
and rush at the postoffice will be
largely done away with by truck
delivery of all packages and parcel
post throughout the time of the an
nual Christmas scramble.
Mr.. Kleindienst this week re-
ceived notification from the first
assistant general, John H. Bartlett,
authorizing the use of funds for
this purpose. The postmaster says
that all packages coming into the
local office will be delivered to the
address on the package, whether
or not the postman's route goes
that way, and even though the pat
rons use postoffice boxes for de-
livery. He asks that all people in
town have their street addresses
put on incoming bundles to facili-
tate the delivery. Every package
coming to the local postoffice will
be sent out on the truck unless
the patron of the office specifically
requests that no deliveries be made.
Two trips will be made by the
truck each day.

Leases $1,000 Acres
Just To Build Garage

John Lindsay. Santa Fe repair
man, who recently moved his head
quarters to Canyon Diablo, wanted
to build a garage last week, and
the only available spot near his
place was the corner of a 10000
acre stretch of government land
adjoining the station. To get use
of the corner John had to lease
the whole tract
This was not such extravaganza
as it sounds, as the lease only calls
for the payment of $1.00 a year, and
John says he will more than make
that much every other day in jack
rabbits, and cotton tails, the can
yon being veritably alive with the
small game.

GAME WARDEN is
BADLY NEEDED In
NAVAJO COUNTY

There seems to be great need of
spirited game warden in this
county, with headquarters either in
Winslow or Holbrook, for this is
the center of great big-game hunt
ing deer, bear, mountain lions and
even elk and antelope being found
within few miles of this place.
Every returning deer hunter
brings to town tales of game vio-
lations that are a disgrace, and
which are causing the members of
the Game Protective association
much concern. Murdered does are
being found in great numbers, and
none of the fishing or hunting laws
seems to be known. Turkey hunt
ers were in the woods around Lake
side long before the season open
ed, and all sorts of game are be-
ing killed in illegal quantities. Re-
ports have come to town of two
elk having been killed between
Clear Creek and Chevelon Canyons
recently, no part of the carcasses
being touched, with the exception
of the teeth, all of which had been
pried out.
Not long ago government men
working on rodent determination
reported the finding of forty car
casses of antelope near the Hay
lake district, all of which seem to
have been killed for pure malice,
as none of the meat was taken.
The remains were found within a
small area as though rounded up
for slaughter. There has been a
herd of more than rs antelope
roaming the country between Hay
Lake and Canyon Diablo for many
years, but it seems to be facing
extinction now.
Fishing and hunting laws are
obeyed pretty generally around
Flagstaff, where Jack Fuss, whose
records for convictions leads the
list of wardens in this state, makes
his headquarters. Game Warden
willard has promised Winslow
sportsmen several times in the past
that efforts would be made to find
a way to pay the salary of war
den in Winslow, but pretty soon
there will be no need of warden,
for his wards will all be gone.

Jack Frost Has A
New Color Scheme
For Out-Of-Doors

Jack Frost, exterior decorator,
chief competitor of the firm of
Spring & Summer, landscape beau
tifiers, has come to spend a few
weeks with us, and has laid his
brush, dripping with the crimson
colors of fall, upon the foliage of
the forest and the stunted growths
of the desert. With his purest
white he has painted the heaven
pointing fingers of the San Fran
cisco Peaks, and with a mass of
blue has deepened the rock-rimmed
pools, adding a new beauty to the
weary land
The conspicuous blossoms of the
prickly pear and ocotillo have been
removed, and the lean and spiny
plants are clothed with coats of
green and brown. The popular hue
of the Painter of the Fall is brown,
relieved with crimson, and in the
ageing year he arrays the gaunt
oaks on the heights of the Sit
greayes and the White mountains
in the warm colors of orange,
scarlet and yellow, as though to
confound the winds of winter, and
to each jealous aspen he gives a
sllvery green and russet garment
in which to retire for the sleep of
the long night until the dawn of
Spring. The Indian paint brush,
broom weed and cottonwoods have
faded from green to yellow and the
green vines of the canyons depths
have changed to brightest red.
The locust awnings, grown for
summer shade, have been taken
down, and the cool green rugs of
grass replaced with carpets of
brown, and underneath the trees
pine needles quiet the tread of the
fleeing deer.
The colors of the town, are SOM
bered, the tamarac hedge alone be-
ing left with it's all-year hue, but
the forests, and the cedars, and the
plains have been adorned with dec
orations of the festal season-the
white of clouds, the violet of dis
tant mesas and the blue of the fall
sky have been retouched, as though
the rainbow colors of the Painted
Desert were aflood and overflow
ing all the face of Nature.

OFFICE Of THE
RECEIVER OF
BANK MOVED
TO PHOENIX

The office of the receiver Of the
defunct Bank of Winslow was this
week moved to Phoenix, and the
work of the receiver will hereafter
be carried on from the office of the
state bank examiners office in the
state capitol building. A T. Ham
mons, state bank examiner, and S.
B. Smith, special deputy, were in

The affairs of the local bank will

along with several other closed
banks, and all affairs will be nego-
tiated from the central office Mr.
Dodson will take up other affairs,
it being stated that he has purchas-
ed bank of his own in the south
ern part of the state
The last legislature provided
funds and methods whereby separ-
ate receiverships for defunct banks
will be done away with, and all
such cases centralized in the hands
and under the supervision of the
state bank examiner and through
his office.
Before leaving Winslow Mr.. Dod-
son stated that the court had ap-
proved the disbursement of funds
toward a payment of another divi-
dend to depositors, amounting to
Is per cent. The checks will be
made out and delivered just as soon
as possible, possibly within the
next two weeks.

NEEDLES INDIANS
COPIED FOOTBALL
GAME BY II TO 6
By CHARLES ERICKSON

Oh boy! And the dope" was
out that the kicking match would
end about 80 to 0, to the visitors
credit. But they won by the small
margin of II to g.
The Winslow shop apprentice
football team pulled regular sur
prise party on local gridiron fans
last Sunday afternoon at the city
park, by holding the Needles heavy
weight Indian eleven to two touch
downs and although our gang was
able to carry the ball over the line
only once, they were sure going
strong when the final whistle was
footed In fact it is general be-
lief that if we could have crowded
in a fifth quarter, the big Red
skins" would have returned to their
mild climate minus victory. But
five is just one too many quarters
for standard football.
Donald Pattison, who did a fine
job of referreeing, started the game
little after o'clock and the
weather man having favored us,
goodly crowd was on the side lines.
At the end of the first frame,
Needles had one touchdown, hav-
ing worked a fake" play to per-
fection on Winslow's port side
while the only thing that the local
boys did was to replace Roy Rick
man on account of sprained
ankle.
The second quarter ended with
both teams having showed their
mustard" thus preventing a score.
But in the third round the Indians
got the ball and their weight buck
ed over another point counter.
In the last quarter the appren-
tices fought hard and began bonn
harding the air with forward
passes. These plays gained them
much ground and then all at once
Paul Thornton, amid cheers from
the audience, made a right end
dash of twenty-five yards for a
touchdown in which he lodged five
tacklers. However, just after the
next kickoff old father time ended
the game and everyone was more
than pleased with the showing our
team made in as much as the Nee
dies aggregation averaged around
ITO pounds, while the apprentices
weight is not over 145 pounds.
Winslow has a regular play
buster" in Larry Searle, while Bob
Pacheco is right there on the re-
ceiving end of forward passes. Due
credit should also be given to the
Needles quarter back as he is sure
the brains of that team.
Dan Hitchcock, to the surprise
of many. took up a coaching posi-
ton. He's savin' up folks. for the
game against San Bernardino,
where the team plays next Sunday.
Good luck fellows.

COCONINO COUNTY
MILLION DOLLAR
SPUD CROP FAILS

For some reason, as yet unex-
planned, the potato crop of Coco
nino county, which until the last
few weeks had given promise of
being the greatest the county ever
produced, will this year be almost
a total failure. The largest acre
age in the history of the county had
been put into potatoes this year,
but with one or two small excep-
tions, the potatoes have failed to
mature
1t is reported that some of the
growers believe that smoke from
the two big smelters in the Verde
valley was responsible for the lack
of crop. During the growing sea-
son, some observers state, a haze
Of smoke, carried by a continuous
south wind, hung over Coconino
county.
This is the first absolute failure
following seven successive good
crops of potatoes in Coconino coun-
ty, it is said, and this years crop
at first promised to be enormous
Investigation discloses tha the
vines produced almost twice the
usual number of tubers, but after
a slight growth, they failed to ma
ture.
The potatoe crop, one of the main
productions of the Tonto Basin. is
also failure this year, according
to reports from Pine and PaysOn.
