FIGURES PROVE
IT PAYS TO GO
TO HIGH SCHOOL

When considering an investment
the first thing to receive attention
is will it pay in he end. Securing
high school education is an in
vestment. A student is obliged to
give up what he might earn during
that time, and is obliged to make
some denials and perchance even
sacrifices to go all the way through.
The point to receive first consid
Grafton is, will it pay?"
Facts and Figures
The teachers of Brooklyn, N. Y,
made an investigation to find the
difference in salary between stu
dents who left the New York
schools at fourteen years of age
and those who left at eighteen.

HOLDERS OF
BANK STOCK
MUST PAY Up


Rumors to the effect that an ex-
tension Of time has been granted
the stockholders of the defunct
Bank. of Winslow in the payment
of the 100 per cent assessment an
nounced in last Fridays issue of
The Winslow Mail to have been
levied against their stock, are un-
true, according to a statement made
by j. S. DOdson, receiver of the
bank, in an interview yesterday
morning.
1T is being generally circulated
about town." Mr.. Dodson said,
that the stockholders of the bank
have been given until January l to
meet their liability. Such is not
the case. The bank has been clos
ed for IL months, during which
time the stockholders have had
sufficient time to acquaint them
selves with the state banking laws
and to make arrangements for the
payment of this assessment.
Since the assessment has been
levied, number of stockholders
already have paid their amounts in
cash and the remainder of the
stockholders liability must be en-
forced for the protection of the de-
positors, Mr.. Dodson said
Before the present banking code
was passed, petitions and requests
from all parts of the state poured
into the legislature and governor,
demanding that banking code be
passed that would give the deposit
tors in all state banks a maximum
amount of protection. Such law
passed and the superintendent of
banks is compelled to enforce it.
Mr.. Dodson states that in his ca
pacity as receiver of the Bank of
'Winslow and a representative of
the depositors of the bank that
that law will be enforced without
fear or favor. The recently-form-
ed depositors' committee is proving
a great help in bringing about a
solution of the problems of the
bank, he said The last meeting
of the committee with the receiver
was held Wednesday night

ATWOOD SAYS
MANILA WASH
MAY
BE BUILT SOON

Engineer Atwood, of the northern
district of the state highway de-
partment, was in Winslow the first
of this week. While here he stated
that the state highway department
had completed plans for the re-
building of the bridge at Manila
Wash which was destroyed on July
3. Mr.. Atwood was in conference
with the county supervisors, solicit
ing their cooperation to the extent
of $4,000. He stated that the
bridge would cost approximately
$4,000, of which the state and the
federal aid department would put
up $4,000.
The estimates and surveys are
now in the hands of the govern
ment highway department for ap-
proval, and as soon as returned,
work will be started.
A letter was received this morn
ing by Sam Proctor, president of
the Commercial club. from Cover
nor Hunt, in reply to a resolution
sent the head of the highway de-
partment calling attention to the
condition at Manila Wash, intimat-
ing that early action may be taken
to repair the bridge. The letter is
as follows:
81 am glad to have your letter
of August 81, with enclosed reso-
luton. l am advised by the state
highway department that they will
submit a budget to Navajo county
during the course of the next week
for expenditure of state funds and
of the Navajo county rs per cent
fund, which will include the re-
building of the bridge washed out
near Manila in compliance with
your wish as expressed in the resO-
luton"
The condition of the wash has
been a menace to traffic for several
weeks. Monday night the Dodge
touring car of George Creswell was
hit by a wall of water, overturned
twice and thrown into the quick
sand under the railroad bridge, and
before efforts could be made to get
it out had almost completely dis
appeared in the sand Mr.. Cres-
well had attempted to cross the
wash, but stuck in the mud. Before
he could put on chains the wall
of water came down the draw and
the occupants had barely time to
get out of the car when they heard
the roar of the approaching food.

SINSELY,ONCE
inmate STATE
Pen, VIOLATES
PAROLE HERE

Sims Ely, former inmate of the
Arizona state penitentiary, is again
sought by state officers on charge
OF embezzlement from the Halstead
Lumber company of Winslow. Ely
had been employed as bookkeeper
and office assistant to T. n Carter,
local manager of the lumber COM
pany. The extent of his defalca-
tions is estimated at not more than
a few hundred dollars, but until
his books can be audited, the exact
amount will be unknown. 1t is
thought that the greater part of
the amount will consist of accounts
collected during the last few days
before he fled, at a time when Mr..
Carter was kept away from the
office by illness.
Ely fled from Winslow at an
early hour Tuesday morning. Not
until late that evening was a
charge preferred against him, as it
was hoped by his employers that.
he had been kept away from his
desk by illness or for some other
plausible reason.
1t is alleged that he was accom-
panied in his flight by Tom Con-
nell who also at one time was en-
ployed by the Halstead company
here. A Ford coupe, belonging to
j. E. Harper, Santa Fe brakeman,
was stolen by the two men. The
car was found in a Needles garage
Wednesday morning, having been
left there Tuesday evening Neither
Mrs. Ely nor COnnell were located,
however, and it is supposed they
went on to the coast by train.
Connell was in trouble in Wins
low few months ago when he
was arrested on a charge of as
sault. Ely has had long career
of law breaking. A few years ago
he lived in Holbrook and was en-
ployed in a bank there. Most of
his OffenSeS consisted of issuing
bad checks, and it was on a bad
check charge that he had been sent
to the penitentiary. He was editor
of "The Beacon" the prison paper,
and while in Winslow aided in get
ting out revival paper in Wins
low few weeks ago. He has had
considerable newspaper experience.
Ely had been out on parole since
May when he came to Winslow. He
is a well-educated, Incorporating
young man, and had many friends
in Navajo county who were inter
ested in his welfare.

Cattlemen Optimistic
Over Years Prospects

That Arizona and Nevada cattle
men are very optimistic over the
prospects for a good year is re-
ported by Hubbard Russell, man
aging director of the California
Cattlemen's association, who has
just made a tour of the cattle dis
tricts. Feed conditions in Nevada
are the best in years and Arizona
ranges, while poor in some dis
tricts, are generally satisfactory
There will be a normal supply of
cattle from Nevada and good
number of head will also come out
of northern Arizona, while the cat
tie in southern Arizona are in good
condition.
Eastern cattle buyers as we'll as
those from the coast are very act
i've in both states and prices being
offered for fall deliveries indicate
strong market. Cattle are very
much in favor of cooperative mar
keting and it is expected that the
greater part Of the fat cattle will
be sold comparatively.

COURTESY.

civic and commercial organizations,

with the great natural assets OF
Arizona, unsurpassed by any state

Much more evidence is available
to show that there is a very high
correlation between success in life,
as judged by various means, and
good scholarship. Surely, though,
this much is sufficient to convince
that good scholarship contributes
