Junior Prom a Pretty
Affair at Auditorium

Decorated in royal blue and gold
Washington school auditorium pre-
sented delightful appearance to
those who attended the junior
prom held there Saturday night
Hubert McHoOd, William Walcott
and John Neal, the students who
conceived and carried out the dec
orative scheme. proved themselves
by their work real artists in this
line.
All of the decorations were
worked out in blue and gold. The
lights around the balcony were
covered alternately with blue and
gold paper, while a lattice-work of
the same colors which hung in the
circle formed by the balcony
stretched across the ceiling above
the dancers heads. Lights above
the lattice-wOrk threw a checkered
design on the floor, and blue and
gold streamers formed a canopy
beneath the lattice. The orchestra
pit, from which Sans Melody
Makers, dressed in white, poured
forth their irresistible dance
strains, was draped with blue and
gold streamers, as was the refresh
ment booth under a latticed arch,
where the dancers were served
waters and punch.
Many spectators were present to
watch the crowd and witness what
is said to have been one of the most
successful prom dances to have
been given in Winslow

$4,000 Tons Ice Now
Stored Heavy Demand

Workmen at the Santa Fe ice
plant finished filling the reserve ice
house known as the winter storage
room Monday. Since enlarging the
room when the new ice machinery
was installed its capacity is 5000
tons more than before, making the
full capacity 10000 tons.
Ice is stored in this room during
the winter months so that in the
summer, when the steady demand
for ice is great, extra orders for
icing large trains can be taken
care of without taxing the plant.
In fact, if it were not for this
stored ice, NJ G. Moore, manager
of the plant, says that plant twice
as large would be needed during
four months of the year to handle
the summer trade. The first of the
ice will be used when the move
ment of cantaloupes starts from
the Salt River Valley, about July l..

AUTO RACES
At HOLBROOK
WILL ATTRACT
BIG CROWDS

According to Winslow speed fans
who have recently visited the High
land Park race track, on the mesa
north of Holbrook, arrangements
for the big meet next Sunday are
complete, and host of Winslow
people will see the fast events for
the big purses posted
The track is in most excellent
shape and some fast records are
likely to result. Cara will enter
the races from Winslow, Gallup.
Flagstaff, ST. Johns and other conf
munities throughout this section of
the country, some of them being
among the fast cars of the state.
The Roosevelt Indian school
band will be in attendance through
out the meet. This band is said to
be one of the very best in the state,
says the Holbrook Tribune, and
the management is fortunate in be-
ing able to secure it, through the
courtesy of Ralph Stanton, superin-
tendent- of the Theodore Roosevelt
Indian school at Fort Apache, in
the southern part of the county.
Among the entries will be the
following
From Gallup, Hudson and Cadi!-
lac specials.
From Flagstaff, Studebaker, Es-
sex and Ford specials.
From Winslow, Jack Cousins
Ford special, Ralph Miller's Stude-
baker special and Hugh Arm
strong's Ford special.
From Holbrook, Studebaker spe-
cial and others.
Entries closed last night.
There will be $1,000 in prizes for
the various races The events on
the program include the following:
Fifty-mile race, $3.50 in prizes;
fivemile race for stock Fords; five
mile race for six-cylinder cars;
five-mile race for four-cylinder
cars; Australian pursuit race,
Judging from the interest being
displayed in the auto meet, it is
evident that it will be a great sue
cess. The track is a remarkably
fine one, and as the sides are in
clined two feet and the ovals seven
feet, it is quite likely that there
will be some fast time made, with
little or no chance for serious ac-
cident to the participants.
The races will start at $50 in
the afternoon on Sunday, May 81.
There will be a baseball game at
the Holbrook baseball park to start
at II a. m. between the Kingman
and Winslow clubs. Both these are
good clubs and a fine, fast game
is expected.

Am certainly glad to add that
a big barbecue is already being
planned and if possible will be
pulled off in September on the
same ground, because of the excel

Oh, yes, l nearly forgot to add
that J. E. Kleindienst has received
wires from Seattle, Los Angeles
and the New York Giants baseball
managers asking what salary he
desires, while A. E. Wickham is
being sought by the San Francisco,

Well, that ought to hold you

swimming contest Saturday after
noon when about twenty boys be-
longing to the order hiked with
ScOutmaster Glib Hunter to the new

MEMORIAL DAY
TO BE QUIETLY
OBSERVED BY
W|NSLOW FOLK

Memorial Day, Saturday, will be
quietly but patriotically observed
by people of Winslow The Ameri-
can Legion will hold it's regular
ritualistic services at the cemetery,
where three ex-legionnaires are
laid to their last long rest. A firing
squad will salute the three depart
ed comrades.
Graves of departed loved ones
will be decorated by families OF
the dead, and an effort made to
spread greenery and patriotic to-
kens throughout the entire ceme-
terry
What does memorial" signify?
The answer is, in memory of our
dead, or day to decorate the
graves of those we love and friends
we respected, not forgetting our
unknown soldier
All nationalities and different
religious denominations in churches
and out in the open pay religious
tribute to those who have departed
to meet their Maker through the
most fervent prayers, and the lay
ing of flowers and flags on the
graves of our dead is a most sol
emn duty accompanied by joy and
tears-a joy on that day if we are
in close proximity to those we loved
and tears when our recollections of
the past are so vividly fresh in our
minds.
Memorial day is the one day in
the year when the good and bad,
the rich and poor, the naughty and
humble, through their grief at the
resting place of their beloved, for
get the difference of their stations
in life, because here is the time and
the place where only through the
name on the tombstones is there
any distinction.
Little children assist in decorat-
ing the graves of those they love
perhaps a schoolmate, sister or
brother, mother or father. Of all
times in their lives this is the
most solemn, their faces plainly in
dicating their seriousness, proving
that the heartaches of all vary but
little.
All these most human labors of
love for the departed ones take
place in nearly every hamlet of
this great nation. Also, the mean
ing of Memorial day reaches wher-
ever our people may be-around
the world-from the most prosper
GUS individual to the most willful
whose liberty is curtailed to the
confines of their place of incarcer-
alton, because the most hardened
men and women have sincere rec
objections when thinking of their
dead.
This is the day set aside by most
states of our Union to forcibly bring
to our minds that those whom we
: loved in life and our country's
heroes should not be forgotten in
their lonely surroundings.
A single flower of little value
placed on grave denotes thought
fulness or possible sacrifice by a
humble sufferer. However, value
does not count, but remembrance
does. This is the real meaning of
the word memorial
May 80 is a day when in the
morning at least we should refrain
from doing things that create too
much jollification. as this is the
time when many in an official
capacity and otherwise are visiting
the homes of our dead, performing
a most sacred duty A little seri-
Gus thought on what the day repre-
for our dead.

do something worthily and we'll. He
seldom needs collateral-he has abil-
lily.
"One of the fundamentals of sound
banking is that a bank should not
hazarS its deposits by speculation, and
must not engage in other business than
banking. II must. therefore, depend
for its profits on the interest received
from loans made, less interest paid on
deposits and other expenses.
The amount Of deposits compared
to its capital regulates banks earn
ings to a very great degree and it
will be readily seen that a bank only
prospers as its depositors prosper.
When any cold, hard-hearted bank
er says no you can bet your last COM
mission that be thought it was for
your own good. All arguments to the
contrary notwithstanding. it is to a
bankers own selfish interest that his
clients and his community be success
full"
In this little dissertation on credit
for loans, from the standpoint of the
banker, we wish TO again draw atten-
ton 10 the very first question the
banker asks, rs he a man upon whose
word can rely" If this question
cannot be answered satisfactorily, the
banker does not bother to ask any
further. The whole deal is off and
the banker keeps the money Of his de-
positors where he knows it will be
safe against loss.
This might also well be included in
the QUESTIONABLE of investors, when
they are offered a proposition which
has as its prime purpose the securing
Of their money.
This one little question. so good
for the banker to ask, would save
many thousands Of dollars loss for
the public as well.

Quite a large number OF letters re-
ceived from readers ask for informa-
ton concerning loans, and the basis
upon which they are made by the
banks for various purposes. Many of
these letters contain inquiries from the
owners of small businesses who are
seeking additional funds for expan-
sion or development.
Just why these questions come to US
instead of the banks with whom the
readers do business is somewhat Of a
puzzle To me. but NE accept the let
ters as indicative Of confidence in US,
and are complimented with the ex-
preston.
The basis upon which banks make
loans is really a very simple one, &C.
cording to Herbert d. Ivey, vice presi-
dent of the Citizens National Bank.
Addressing the insurance convention
at the Biltmore the other day, Mr.
Ivey dwclt specifically upon this sub
ject. saying:
The basis on which loans are made
is sometimes defined as character. ca
pacity and collateral. Without char
acter. Of course, no credit could exist.
When an application for a loan
is received. there comes into the
minds of those who have the respon.
sibility Of saying yes or no a few
short. simple queries. but which, new
ertheless. are the stepping stones into
the middle chamber of the confidence
and the Golfers Of any banker.
The first of these is: is he a man
upon whose word I can relyE
The second might be: Is his re-
quirement for funds a legitimate
business risk, and does his capital per

The third question might be:

in a pagan gladness.
Then how was one to tell if they
should or should not do such things.
If such things are wrong why is one
so glad about them? Why is there
flame and wildness in ones very soul :
Perhaps life can only be lived right
ly by stunning it?
And one must turn away from
every experience? One mus live in
emotional vacuum waiting and wait

She turned in a hot WEAKNESS.
Poor Virginia-was the thing she
did so dreadful that because of it
she had TO die? She looked so deli
cate lying there with lilies of the
valley in her hands. She didn't seem
hurt or different.
Nora Lee helped the mother SEND
