BIG CHARITY BALL
PLANNED BY ELKS
FOR SEPTEMBER y

Winslow B. P. o. Elks are plan
ming a big charity ball for the eve
ming of Tuesday, Sept. %. Judging
from the enthusiasm with which
the initial arrangements are being
received, the affair will be the
greatest social event ever attempt
ed in this neck of the woods.
The ball is being given to invite
the public to take part in the char
ity work of the lodge, but the funds
received will be used for fonr spe-
cific purposes, and will not inter-
fere with the Christmas and
sumed by the order.
The funds derived from the ball
will be divided between the Flor
ence Crittendon home at Phoenix,
an orphanage at Tucson, the Sal
vation Army and the municipal
Christmas tree celebration.
Every dollar spent at the ball
will be turned into the benevolent
fund. No charge will be made for
the hall; the decorations will be
furnished free, the music provided
and donated by an Elks orchestra
led by Eddie Pooler, the program,
tickets and advertising donated by
The Winslow Mail; flowers will
be donated, and refreshments by
Johnny Williams and E. R. Klein
dienst. 1t will be made an annual
affair.
The committee in charge of the
ball is composed of Claude Quebe-
deaux, E. L. Kleindienst, Frank
Howe, Eddie Pooler and A. l..
Thurston.

u. S. Body Approves
Interstate Highways

A system of interstate roads
known as United States highways
was created Tuesday by the joint
board on interstate highways, at

included in the system, forming
network over the entire United
States, and touching every state
capital. Thirty arterial routes were
designated to traverse the country
east and west, and north and south.
Final action on the routes was
not had until later, when they were
numbered and chartered Eight will
cross the Rocky mountains and ex-
tend across the continent; nine
originate on the Gulf coast and
terminate in Canada; one starts in
northern Idaho and ends at

Petrified Forest Limit
Is Now Well Marked

Where the boundary line of the
Petrified Forest reserve crosses
ST. Johns-Springerville highway,
about eighteen miles east of Hol-
brook, a row of white posts has
been erected to definitely mark the
boundary. At that point has also
been placed a sign reading:
Notice to Tourists: Free sam
Piles of petrified wood. About 300
yards to large deposit which is
available for souvenirs"
Within the reserve other signs
refer to this deposit of petrified
wood outside of the boundary line.
Thus, every visitor is given the op-
portunity to provide himself with
various samples of the petrification.
The specimens are plentiful at the
place indicated 1t is estimated
that the quantity is at present
about 1000 tons, and the coloring
is said to equal that within the re-
serve.
The national park service re-
spectfully asks that citizens who
direct tourists to the Petrified
Forest should mention the bound
ary marking and the sign which
directs the visitor to the collecting
grounds. If the law-abiding tour
ist knows beforehand that he has
a chance to gather specimens at
designated place he will undoubt-
edly leave the reserve specimens
alone, and there will be fewer
prosecutions.-Hol Tribune.

COLLECTIONS
COMING GOOD
7 D PAY OFF
BANK LOSSES

The sale of approximately $4,000
worth of notes due the old Bank
of Winslow by the Spellmire &
Lyons Sheep company to Babbltt
Brothers was approved yesterday
afternoon by the Superior court.
The original notes were for about
$4,000, but unpaid accrued inter-
est had run them up to more than
$40,0 900. A week ago the court re-
fused to settle the notes for $35, 900.
The bank will receive the full
sum of $4,000 to add to the fund
already accumulated to pay off de-
positors, attorneys fees and extra
costs in the transaction having
been assumed by the buyers of the
notes. A number of small obliga-
tions, totaling about $3.50, also
were taken over by Babbitt's.
Since the payment of 10 per
cent dividend to depositors of the
old Bank of Winslow was made a
few months ago, more than 100000
has been accumulated with which
to make another dividend. The $40,-
900 received yesterday from the
sale of these notes makes the fund
close to $15O,OO0. During this
month J. S. Dodson, receiver, ex-
poets a collection of approximately
$4,000 from the settlement of the
estate of another creditor, which,
added to the collections now in,
will create fund Of more than
100000.
Losses in the bank failure to-
tailed about $750,O00. 1t is expected
that the collections now in and
forthcoming this month will make
possible the payment of 30 per
cent dividend some time during the
early fall, which, when made, will
constitute a return to the depos-
itors Of 40 per cent of their losses.
Mr.. Dodson has acted in the dual
role of receiver for the defunct
bank and receiver for the Spell
mire & Lyons company, and in
making this collection has labored
long and hard to protect the in
terests of the losers in the Bank
of Winslow.

GILA MONSTER is
STATE BOOSTER

Under the caption, ella Monster
Becomes Best Arizona Booster by
Dying From Heat Wave in Illinois, -
in the Arizona Republican appears
a letter from Roy Williams, Of Casa
Grande, stating that live Gila
monster died from heat prostration
at Bloomington, Ill.,, two days aft
er being placed in the zoo there.
Following is the article from the
Republican:
Among the persons, places and
things which Indirectly advertise
Arizona to the world in the proper
light, count the Gila monster first.
"This lowly and despised reptile,
a native of Arizona, has at last
found role into which it fits per-
fectly as booster for the salubri-
GUS climate of it's natural haunts,
according to R. S. Williams, resi-
dent of Casa Grande, now vaca-
tioning in Greenwich, Ill.
For proof of this rather remark
able assertion, Mr.. Williams has
mailed to the Republican the fol-
lowing news item which appeared
in the Bloomington, ILL.,, Panta-
graph, under the heading, Too Hot
for ella Monster:
=" Bloomington weather proved
too much for a Gila monster pre-
sented to the Miller park zoo this
week by L. B. Williams, of sos II
West Washington street. The giant
lizard was brought to Bloomington
by a brother of Mr.. Williams from
the Arizona desert, but did not lin
ger long in the torrid heat Bloom
ingtonians have endured during the
last few weeks.
He was installed with due GER
emony in the Miller park animal
house, but died of heat after two
days there
Hats off to the Casa Grande
Gila monster! He has earned the
gratitude of Arizona, regardless of
the fact that he had to die to do it. >

Fifty-Seven Attend Picnic
of Security Benefit Assn.

Rain tried to spoil the Security
Benefit picnic Sunday, but when
the merrymaking crowd failed to
heed the downpouring drops, it
gave up, and though the sun failed
to shine at Cabin Draw all the time
the picnickers were there, the spir-
it of the day was far from gloomy.
Gathering at the Community hall,
motorcade of ten cars filled with
members of the Security Benefit
association left Winslow about s
o'clock Sunday morning, and ar
rived at the draw a little before
noon.
Eating was the first event on the
days program, and within short
time after the picnickers had ar
rived a veritable feast was spread
upon the ground and the aroma Of
boiling coffee mingled with that
of the pine trees. Then fifty-seven
people with healthy appetites,
youngsters and grown folks, sat
down to eat.
Just as the time came to serve
ice cream and cake a few drops of
rain began to fall, but the picnick-
ers continued until the end of the
meal, then as soon as the last dish
and piece of food was tucked away
under canvas the downpour start
ed in earnest. Most of the picnick-
ers took refuge in their cars, but a
few defied the rain and indulged in
pine cone battles and other picnic
pastimes. In about a quarter of
an hour the rain stopped, and after
driving down the draw about half
a mile to see the dipping vat and
pens at the sheep camp, the party
returned to the picnic grounds
and the remainder of the program
for the day was carried out as had
been previously planned.
The first event was burro race.
Leland Christensen came in first
with Oteth Ferrell a close second.
Then followed a girls race, which
was won by Mary Yarnell, with
Marie Carter taking second place.
The 3-year-old boys then staged
running contest and little Jack
Brennan led the group, while chub-
by little Joe Bennett came in sec
ond. The young girls then ran a
potato race, using pine cones in
place of potatoes. In this race
Irene Hungerford succeeded in pill
ing up the largest number of cones.
Oteth Ferrell won the larger boys
race and William Matheson took
second place. The ladies then
staged two races, Mrs Roy Bren-
nan and Mrs. Ella Janeway Win
ming first honors, while Mrs. A. E.
Riley and Mrs. Alice Worman took
second. Roy Brennan won the So
called fat mems race and DR.. Bur-
ton the mems race.
The men and boys followed with
races and jumping contests, dur
ing which Wilfred Jarman proved
the best jumper among the boys
and Roy Brennan the best among
the men.
Prizes were offered for each
event and consisted of everything
from rubber balloon dolls and all
day suckers to cookie cutters and
other kitchen trinkets.
1t was 4 O'Clock before the crowd
began to think about going home.
Then one more attack was made
on the ice cream and cake and the
motorcade started on the return
trip to Winslow. The day was an
unqualified success.

HI. III. Wingfield Starts
Repairing Fire Damage

GALS Gang Frees the Oil Bandits
DOWN WITH THE MURDER OF White GUARD POLAND!

COMRADES Baginsky and Werczorkiewicz working class
prisoners of the whte-guard government of Poland,
were while approaching the border Of Soviet Russia where
they were being taken under agreement exchange them
for Polish criminals.
This cold-bIooded murder which must arouse the
and Indignation of every class conscious working man
part of the systematic white in Poland by which
the Polish bougeose hopes keep the working class sup
pressed 1t is the logical product Of the policy Of Polish
government, which is ickspte and satellite of French
Imperialism exploiting the workers of Poland for the profit
OF the Polish bougeose and again for the profit Of French
imperialism 1t is part of the white terror which
shoots down strikers and which revoked the parliamentary
immunity of Comrade Lanzutsky and placed him on trial
for his life because of speech made in behalf of striking
workers.

Communists had been sentenced death for alleged des-

Information has just come to us
that in addition to Lanzutsky, three
other deputies of the Polish diet
Ukrainians have also been deprived
Of parliamentary immunity that they
may be prosecuted for speeches made
in August, 1928.
At that time they urged their con-
stituents to oppose the military colo
nization of East Galicia by Polish ex-
soldiers. The same or similar fate
that awaited Lanzutsky will now like
ly be the lot of the three deputies,
Wassilchuk, Chuchmay and Kozitsky,
who represent the oppressed Ukrain-
ian peasant minority in the Polish
diet.
Along with all this, thousands Of
workers are rotting in jails without
trial or being hurried thru farcical
court procedures. The bloody Polish
regime is performing we'll its duty as
puppet of western imperialism and
as military buffer against the work
ers' and peasants republic of Russia.
The International Red Aid continues
its fight against the Polish reaction
and calls upon all workers and SYM
pathizers of the workers cause to pro-
test the brutal and ruthless regime
that rules Poland and suppresses the
workers and the national minorities
with mailed fist.
