PUTTING ON THE OVERALLS

TT HAS been complained for some
years, that young men would not
go into the mechanical trades. But
at last, they seem to be showing
more sense and going into the well
paid building industry. A recent
report states that the supply of la
Dor for this trade, both skilled and
unskilled, is sufficient for existing
needs except in a few cities.
The supply of such labor, it is
stated, is constantly being rein
forced from the apprenticeship
schools. Apparently young men
are making up their minds that the
glory of wearing a white collar and
store clothes is not adequate to
compensate for the lower wages
often paid in clerical work. They
are apparently concluding that no
disgrace attaches to overalls. This
is a truth which the philosophers
have long been preaching, but
many have seemed to question.
The Winslow mail., 1925-09-22

the workmen's compensation law
does away with all expense, con-
Germ or loss of time to the mine
owners in cases of accident. The
state Immediately takes charge,
pays a sum to the injured person
proportionate to the extent of his
injuries, and the case is settled, re-
quiring days only, where by the
present method months, or even
years, may expire before the set
tlement of the case.
Before the special election The
Mail intends to print the bill in
full, just as it passed the legisla-
ture. If you can read it intelli-
gently, arrive at a conclusion and
satisfy yourself that the bill is

Remember Me Now
By A METEORITE
Contributed to The Mail.

If you have any flowers worth
giving,
Place under my nostrils today,
For the scent of one bud while I'm
living,
Will knock the spots off the finest
boquet
That you at my corpse may be
flinging,
When you find that 1 have passed
on my way.
If you have any kind words to ut
ter,
Just hand them me right off the
bat.
They will skin anything you can
mutter,
When Death pins me down on the
mat.
Don't hold them for fear you may
stutter,
For won't care a rap about that.
If you have any song worth sing
ing,
Sing it now, let me hear it's sweet
strains,
For perhaps, round it's harmony
clinging,
There's a chord that will stifle my
pains.
The dirge that some day you'll be
springing
On my corps, will be efforts in
vain.
While I'm living just feed me your
honey,
Do not wait til I'm dead and then
sigh,
I will not give two whoops for
your money
When I get where there's nothing
to buy.

THE ACHIEVEMENT OF
AUTOMOBILES

OUCH wonderful things are being
~ done all the time by automobiles
that we scarcely realize the marvel
of it. Imagine what the people of
25 or 80 years ago would have said
if they could have seen this modern
wonder, and how it annihilates dis
tance and binds the country to-
gether and unites country and city.
Some days ago, two officers of
the American Automobile associa-
tion drove a car from Washington,
D. c., to Oakland, California, in
four days and 21 hours and 30
minutes. A few years ago this
would have been considered an
astonishing performance. Yet we
pass it over as just one item in
the days news, to be succeeded
by something just as remarkable.
The whole conception of an auto
mobile would have seemed aston
ishing not so many years ago. It
was formerly thought that any
kind of machine needed firm base
on which to operate successfully,
that if it was bumped and jounced
around, such treatment would so
shake its parts loose, that it would
soon go to pieces. Railroad loco
motives obtained this firm base, by
being operated on a track levelled
down to the utmost precision.
Yet the automobile is driven at
high rates of speed over roads full
of holes and hollows and bumps
and rocks, and this delicate mech
anism is shaken as a dog shakes
rat. And yet with all it's delicacy,
it is built with such firmness and
precision, that it stands this ter
rible jolting for tens or hundreds
OF thousands of miles, and operates
with the marvellous smoothness
that thrills and satisfies our fussy
age.
Today the automobile is revolu-
tionizing society. 1t is bringing
communities and people closely to-
gether, ending isolation, creating
happiness and good nature.
The evils that it promotes are
not sufficient to detract in any
measure from the great scientific
and economic good it accomplishes.
Besides the city of Winslow in
Arizona, there are Winslows in
Arkansas, California, Illinois, Ne
braska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Washington, and Winslow and
Winslow Mills in Maine.

OUR BANK DEPOSITS

HOW much do you suppose, have
the banks of this country on
deposit.
A report first publicly shown at
the annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Supervisors of
State Banks, held at ST. Paul, July
21 to %, showed the banks of the
United States to have on deposit at
that time total of $50,497, ,308,-
94213.
Fifty and a half billion dollars!
Ponder for a moment what that
amount means-fifty and half bill
lion dollars.
It is more than the assessed val
uation of states.
1t is more than the valuation of
many nations.
1t is more than the total wealth
of many countries having kings and
| queens and feudal lords.
1t is more than the tabled wealth
of the rich men of history more
than Solomon's wealth, of Croesus.
Yet all of it belongs to the people
of the United States, to men and
women in the different stations of
our contemporary life, most of them
common, working folks who live
and save in small amounts; and it
is all in the banks of this country,
a part of it in your own bank.
And the total resources of the
banks is over ten billion dollars
making grand total of $60,511,- :
S45, 46373.

Deer Hunting
By JACK O'BRIEN
Written for The Mail

To draw a bead on Mister Buck
Just at the dawn of day,
To see him give one startled look
And swiftly bound away;
To climb towering hill again
And see him grazing near,
And 10! Beside him on the plain,
A Fawn, with mother deer.
And, oh! What luck for Mister
Buck,
To further rouse your ire,
His mate, and little doe stand just
Within the line of fire.
To hunt them over mountains high,
To see in vale below,
A herd of antelope pass nigh,
All in the morning glow.
To camp beside a placid lake,
All round you forest tall,
To see wild beauties come to drink,
Why, that's the best of all.

The Prairie Fire
By D. MAITLAND BUSHBY
Written for The Mail

You wants story, do you stranger,
And you want it of old times. YOU

Waal, recalls the fire at Granger.
When the whole dang town stood
in danger,
Of naturally bein' burnt away.
1t was in the fall of eighty-five;
The grass stood knee-high, and it
were thick;
Folks them days was glad to be
alive,
Things from kids to horses sure
did thrive,
Then the fire hit us sudden and
quick.
We saw smoke one morning, early,
An we saw the fire twisting below.

Fore was done, see Pete Curly,
Ridin' like hell with a COW in tow.
He pulled up right short before
the door,
Killed that COW without saying a
word,
And us two, we skinned her quick
as four.
The fire was close then, we heard
it roar.
My stock run wild like a crazy
herd.
Pete and 1 tied onto that green
hide,
Swinging it between US we rode
To meet the fire. That was sure
some ride.
We got up close and Pete rode
inside
OF the fire line with roaring
shout.
Then with me in front and him
behind,
And that green hide right over the
fire,
We set our broncs to the scorch-
ing grind,
Util the poor devils went plumb
blind,
An Pete an me was needing a
choir.
But we knocked that fire clean
galley west,
The folks at Granger toted us
back.
Pete died from burns all over his
chest,
And my eyes, they didn't stand the
test,
But down in Granger no one lost

When | Am Dead
By LORETTA BAUER
Written for The Winslow Mail

When l am dead, l shall not know,
If over me, bright flowers grow.
The rain that passes by with fing-
ers cool,
l shall not feel.
1 shall not feel the suns bright
ray,
That warmed the heart of me, but
yesterday
My heart shall then be cold.
The wind, whose whispering song
shall seem,
far-off distant, vacant dream,
That comes to haunt the dead.
When l am gone, l shall not hear
Voices above me, lowering near,
Voices hushed in prayer.
But, somewhere, in the mystical
deep
OF that dark grave wherein l sleep,
My soul shall still live on.
Twill live, perhaps, in some flow
er, or rose,
Or some tiny stream that swiftly
flows
Forever to meet the sea.
Or then, perhaps a bird will fly
Into the deepening dusk of an
evening sky,
And will capture my soul in it's
flight.
But forever on, in the silence so
deep
Of that cold dark grave wherein
sleep.
1 shall not know.

TOURIST TRADE

| A CCORDING to garage men and
merchants along the northern
! highway, there has been cOnsid-
cradle falling off this summer in
the number of tourists making the
transcontinental journey; on the
other hand more of the travellers
appear to be interested in what
Arizona has to offer in the way of
scenery and other attractions
The present season has seen more
people at the Grand Canyon than
have ever registered before and a
rather surprising fact is that, last
month, 1852 cars made the detour
through the Petrified Forest. Ex-
perience has shown that the aver
age number of passengers per car
is 3.5, so 1887 people saw this
great natural curiosity during
August; as the tourist season prop
er is approximately four months,
more than $4,000 people have been
at the forest this summer.
Every one of these travellers
spends at least two dollars a day
for gasoline, oil and living expenses
so it is evident that very consid-
erable amount of money is left in
the state by our visitors to the ma
tional monuments and the Grand
Canyon park. Even the cars
bound to and from the coast, the
occupants of which do not take the
trouble to make any of the side
trips, have to spend largely for sup
plies. This is a source of revenue
which should be encouraged in
every way, and we could wish that
the Verde district might get a lit
tie more of it.
Speaking of the Petrified For
ests, the government has done a
wise thing by posting notices in
forming tourists that a large de-
posit of wood" lying just to the
west of the Rainbow forest has
been set aside as an area from
which visitors may take samples,
and the privilege is greatly appreci-
ated. This action serves also to
prevent the destruction of the
trees in the reserved areas.
The federal bureau of good roads
is doing splendid bit of work on
the highway from Winslow to
Flagstaff and with the exception
Of the stretch between Padre Can
yon and Canyon Diablo, the entire
northern highway is in good condi-
tion, and it is expected that this
last stretch will be put in shape
this fall.-Verde Copper News.

Another Snake Story
Blasted By Experts

Contrary to the common belief
that snakes bask in the sun, the
United States biological survey
says that intense sunlight makes
a snake become torpid and even
will cause it's death.
Rattlesnakes, it was said, can be
killed by exposing them for twenty
minutes to direct midday summer
sun. Snakes also are sensitive to
cold and many are frozen to death
every winter by alternating above
the frost line.

RADIO AND THE CAMPER

4 TWIST of the radio dial is all
that stands between the camper
and a world of entertainment and
information. With the air crowded
with broadcast waves carrying mus
ic, news of the day, stock and mar
ket reports, weather forecasts and
other information, the radio re-
ceiver, in even the remotest camp,
will furnish no end of service to
those who have sought the great
outdoors.

that if the councils decision was

BUSY SUMMER FOR
JOHN KELLER

, John Keller has had one of the
busiest summers of his 80 years in
the piano business Not only in the
neighborhood of his own city of Au-
gusta have his services been in de-
mand, but he has been called upon
to look after pianos in points many
miles from home.
Particularly has Mr.. Keller been
called to the resorts on the coast
around Boothbay Harbor, Squirrel
Island and other places And if
there is any place where a piano
will get out of commission, it is at
the seashore. incidentally, if there
is any class of people who know
what they want when it comes to
fixing the piano. it is the summer
visitors from out of the State who
are used to having the very best
workmen tune and recondition their
pianos. That these people have seen
fit to employ the services of Mr..
Keller is a distinct tribute to him
and his work.
Children are now back in school
They have renewed their piano les
sons interrupted by the summer va
cation or are just starting in to
learn to play the nearly universal
instrument. Pianos must be in the
best condition for their use, for It
is truly deterrent influence for a
child to learn to play poor piano
Proper tune, proper pitch and prop
er action. all add to the enjoyment
