Editor Fred Sherman Of the St. Paul Herald

Editor Fred Sherman of the st. Paul Herald
sizes up President Coolidge in the following
manner.
The President has poor voice and poor
delivery and everyone who ever heard him speak
will say the same. On top of this might be
truly said that President Coldge is typical
down east Yankee and a "tight-wad" and will
pinch penny till the Indian turns black in the
face and at that he is just the kind of man we
want for president >at this particular time. If
for the next five years we could have in every
public office, from Town Clerk to president
genuine "tghtwads" it would be the best thing
that could happen to this country. What this
country needs right now is several years of rigid
economy in both public and private business.

The American Politician is queer bird He
promises delivery and then delivers promises He
is long on oratory, and short on action He
has the art of flattery down to an exact science
He appears to think that the well known ship of
state is headed straight for the rocks of destruc-
ton unless his is the guiding hand at the helm.
He sometimes talks big, and sometimes acts
small. If he would put the amount of
energy, ambition and determination into almost
any other line Of activity he would be wealthy
and almost respectable. Hadley.

We hope the time is coming when every Far
mers Club meeting will in some way recognize
on it's program the work of the Boys and Girls
Clubs of each individual community. The young
farm men and women are of much more import
ance in many ways than the present mature
ones, and certainly their work is worthy of at
tention. Feeling that they are part and a
big part of the actual farm club work Of their
district could not fail to have much influence on
the work of these young people.

What did you look at this morning as you
walked down to work? Did you keep your eye
on the dusty gray sidewalk or did you look at
the strip of blue between the young and tender
green of the new leaves? What did you listen
to? Did you have your tuned only to hear
the chug and roar of the automobile as it burned
up the pavement" did your have the door of
your hearing wide open to the lit of the
bird singing its mating song from the shrub on
the lawn of the Presbyterian church. Be honest
now. WHICH!

According to the inacal statement of Rem
vile County for 1924, the ten newspaper plants
in the county were paid $2,14085 for job print
ing and legal publishing, while S4,2O2.48 was
spent for stationery and supplies with printing
plants outside of the county. part of the
money spent with outside concerns might have
been spent at home with industries which are
helping to pay the taxes necessary to pay the
necessary running expense Of the county, which
includes salaries paid to the county officials who
send their work out of the county At least
forty and employed in print
ing plants of the county, besides the families
which depend upon the business for living. Just
why these politicians must patronize outsiders is
hard to say unless there is comeback or rake off
handed them by the outside concerns. 1t might
be well for the home newspaper crowd to let
these politicians get their votes and support from
the large cities where they spend two thirds of
the county printing money.-Fairfax Standard.

New Metal Awning at
Central Drug Store

A new departure in awnings has
just made its appearance over the
door of the Central Drug store. In
stead of being made of canvas, it
is constructed of galvanized steel,

Governor Paroles 33
From Arizona Prison I

Paroles for thirty-three prisoners
confined in the state penitentiary
at Florence were signed yesterday
by Governor Hunt on the recon-
mendation of the state board of
pardons and paroles. The final ac-
ton in the matter was performed
by James H. Kerby, secretary of
state, who affixed his signature to
the documents and returned them
to the governor to be forwarded to
the state prison.
The number is one of the larg-
est ever paroled from the institu-
ton at one time. The most seri-
Gus crime committed by those pa
rolled was second-degree murder,
and one man, Jose Perras, SEN
fenced from Gila county on that
charge to serve from twenty years
to life, was paroled on condition
that he go to Mexico and remain
there. A large number of those
paroled had served their minimum
sentences and were eligible to pa
role under the good behavior rule
at the prison.

Carrillo, the only one from this
county, who had been sentenced to
from two to three years.

be held at the Elks clubhouse on
Third street Sept 22

Olive Trees of r. P.
Hesser Produce Fruit

Last year r. P. Hesser planted
his property at 225 Apache avenue.
He wanted them for shade.
This year he has not only a
promising half dozen shade trees
from the mere slips he planted, but
a crop of olives as well, and while
the trees are too small to bear
heavily, Mr.. Hesser, who is the
first to plant olive trees in Wins
low, has proven by his experiment
that they are well adapted to grow
in this vicinity.
The half-doZen trees were plant
ed in March of last year, and stood
about two feet high. During this
season the trees have made a
growth of about four feet in addi-
ton to bearing a nice lot of olives.
Mr.. Hesser is of the opinion that
the fruit will have ample time to
mature before frost, but as he is
more interested in the development
of the trees in the direction of
shade than fruit, he is well salts
fled with the growth they have
made, regardless of the fruit.
At the same time the olive trees
were planted, Mr. Hesser also
planted a large number of box eld
ers. He lost many of these trees,
while every one Of the olive trees
grew.
Mr.. Hesser, who has quite rep
utation as a gardener and orchard
man, says he will plant a larger
number of the olive trees next
year.

OLD DODGE CAR
GOING TO VISIT
ITS BIRTHPLACE.

An old Dodge touring car, now a
painters truck, will soon start on
the long journey from Winslow to
it's place of birth, the shops of the
Dodge Brothers Motor company, in
Detroit, Michigan. The old car,
which there are but eight older,
will be all dolled up in holiday
clothes and decorated with legends
of Arizona, the National Old Trails,
and Winslow, "the Meteor City" to
show the folks back east that the
climate here agrees with automO-
biles as well as people.
The car, which is still in such
good condition that a non-engine-
stop run is planned by the owner,
Jim Cunningham, was the ninth
motor built by the Dodge company,
It was constructed in 1916, the year
that corporation began business,
either on the first or second day it
operated. The trip is being made
as an advertising feature for Dodge
Bros. motor cars, and will be spon-
sored by the publicity department
of the Dodge company.
Mr.. Cunningham will be accom-
panied by Melvin Rushing, and they
expect to start about the middle of
September.

Wool Growers Would
Strip Forest Service
OF Land Lease Power

recommendations tnat the for
estry bureau be shorn of it's arbi-
trary power in granting grazing
leases were adopted by the Ameri-
can National Live Stock association
in conference at Salt Lake City
this week.
Under resolutions adopted, con-
gress would be requested to pass
a law legalizing the grazing of live
stock upon the national forests,
and authorizing the secretary of
agriculture to execute leases for
not less than ten years, renewable
at the option of the lessees.
Should such law be enacted, it
would naturally follow that any
contested point arising from dis
agreements between the lease hold
ers and the government would be
taken to the United States District
court instead of being settled in
the forestry bureau as at present.
The recommendation further pro-
vides that the proposed law shall
restrict the lease holders in the
use and disposal of the leases only
to the extent essential to insure
beneficial use of the resources con-
cerned from the standpoint of busi-
ness in general and to make the
holders responsible for any dam
age caused to the resources in
volved through exercise of rights
under such leases.
State control is meeting with
much disfavor at the conference,
delegates taking the stand that
under federal control rules and
regulations governing grazing in
the various states would be more
uniform.
J. M. McFarlane, president of the
Utah Cattle and Horse Growers as
sociation, declared that the time is
opportune for federal control of
the public domain. In going over
the state he said he had discovered
that where the grazing land had
been protected by fencing and
other means it supported four
times the number of cattle grazed
than on an unprotected land
Lawrence F. Lee, of Albuquerque,
representing the sheep industry OF
New Mexico, declared his state bad
ly in need of federal protection of
the public domains and the live
stock interests in need of provision
which would allow them to ex-
change land with the Santa Fe
Railway company, which now owns
every alternate section.
Unless stability comes to the
live stock industry banks can not
and will not loan money, he said.
Ed Sawyer of Winslow is attend
ing the conference at Salt Lake
City.

A. ]. HENDERSON
DIED WEDNESDAY
RIVERSIDE, CALF

Word was received here yester-
day of the death of A J. Hender-
son Wednesday, former well-knowIl
resident, railroad and business man
of Winslow, at the home of his son,
E. A. Henderson, Riverside, Calf.
Death resulted from an attack of
dropsy. Mr.. Henderson had been
critically i'll for two months. Burial
was at San Diego.
Mr.. Henderson was the father of
Mrs. A. L. Flaharty, county super
intendent of public instruction. The
message telling of his death came
within an hour after Mrs. Flaharty
had returned from Riverside, where
she was called by her fathers ill
ness several weeks ago. Mr.. Hen
derson seemingly had improved aft
er she arrived there and after a
visit, Mrs Flaharty returned to
Winslow, arriving here about 1870
Wednesday afternoon The tele-
gram stated that he had died at
11:25 that day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Flaharty left on the
evening train for Riverside.
Mr.. Henderson was in his early
life an engineer on the Santa Fe
railroad during the time of it's
building across this state. He lived
in Albuquerque from 1889 to 1898,
when he came to Winslow. He pi-
loted an engine on this division
until 1901, when illness compelled
him to resign from railroad service.
Following his resignation from the
railroad he took over the local tel
ephone system, which he operated
until about seven years ago, when
the system was purchased by the
Mountain States company. Mr..
Henderson moved to California at
that time and has made his home at
various times in San Diego, Long
Beach and Riverside.
Besides his daughter, Mrs. Fla
harty, and son, E. A Henderson,
the deceased is survived by his
widow.

BORGLUM WOULD
BUILD MONUMENT
In SOUTH DAKOTA

A national shrine, modelled from
one of natures vagaries, and stu
ated in the beautiful Black Hills of
South Dakota is the vision of Gut
yum Borglum, the sculptor, and
the group of South Dakota resi-
dents who view the Black Hills as
the greatest undeveloped wonder
land in the United States.
The shrine would be a monu-
ment of Washington and Lincoln,
standing side by side, their figures
carved from a huge needle-like
piece of granite which towers 200
feet above it's immediate base.
Borglum has long held this
vision. He expects soon to visit
South Dakota to discuss details for
raising the $1,O00,0O0 necessary to
its completion.
In the Black Hills there is a
group of rocks that rise perpen-
more story office building. The
rocks are known as The Needles.
One of them has withstood the ele-
ments more than it's neighbors and
there remains a wide base from
which ascends a shaft tapering al
most to point This shaft rises
to a height greater than any ele-
vation east of the Rockies except
Mount Harvey, itself in the Black
Hills.
Situated among virtual noun
tains of red, purple and gold, their
slopes dotted with towering pines,
the proposed memorial rock may
be seen for miles before the long,
slowly ascending trail finally
brings the visitor within it's shad-
OW.
Here Borglum found setting
for a national memorial.
With the advice of several South
Dakota residents, Borglum chose
as the characters for this memorial
Washington and Lincoln, two out
standing figures in American his
tory whom he knew would appeal
to the patriotism of every corner
of the United States.
Information reaching supporters
of the memorial in the state indi-
Gates that the financial problem
will be met. Several wealthy per-
sons have listened sympathetically
to the plan and it is understood one
New York multimillionaire vir-
tually agreed to finance the project
single-handed.
