IA By the time this progress edi-
tion of The Winsiow Mail is in the
hands of it's readers in ali sections
of Navajo county this week, the
new, beautiful three-story struc-
ture shown on this page, which
will be the future home Of The
Winslow Mail, will be occupied, as
contractors were putting on the
finishing touches the past few days
preparatory to moving of the plant
and equipment of The Mail, from
it's present quarters to it's new
home, at 208 Second Street.
With the completion of the hand
some new brick building it brings
to Winslow it's first modern three
story brick and concrete ctructure
and one of which all of WinslOw
is justly proud. Designed on its
lower floor primarily for a news
paper plant, the new home of The
Mail is modern in its every appoint
ment from the business offices,
telegraph room, advertising and edi-
torial offices to the workshop, COM
posing room, job department and
press room in the rear, and will
compare with any newspaper. plant
of it's size in the country.
It's completion also brings to rea-
lization a dream of the publishers
of The Mail ever since they came
to Winslow year ago, and while
it has necessUated considerable

new HOWELL HOTEL COMBINES
ALL MODERN FEATURES With
GOOD LOCATION AND COMFORT
Second And Third Floors of New Mail Building,
Built Especially For Hotel Quarters, Will Com
bine Every Modem Feature of Up-to-date Hotel

Within short time after the re-
moval of The Mail plant to it's new
home, the upper floors will be COM
pleted, and will offer a service that
has been needed in Winslow for
some time, a thoroughly modern
and up to date hotel. This hotel
will be operated by Mrs. e. P.
Howell, widow of E. P. Howell, a
pioneer cattleman of Arizona, and
well known in every part of the
state.
The Howell Hotel will bring a
new delight to travellers who seek
the best. New throughout, it will
combine carefully selected furnish
ings, modern conveniences, steam
heat, baths, hot water, good loca-
ton and reasonable rates, plus a
service commensurate with the ho-
tels other attractions.
TWenty-twoarooms will occupy
the two floors above The Mail Of
fees, and every one of the twenty
two will be model Of comfort and
good looks.
Its proprietor, Mrs. Howell, who
is as well known as was her hus-
band, has made a thorough study
of hotel conditions and needs in
this country, has studied the points
of hotel service, and is prepared to
surprise the travelling public with
a place of rest that will be home
like, and yet will function with the
smooth service of large hotels in
large cities.
Hours of planning were put in
before anything for the hotel had
been ordered, and more hours OF
planning on arrangement of furni-
ture, scheme of decorations and
ways to meet the publics needs.

Before the plans were completed.
Mrs. Howell secured the lease on
the hotel, and her suggestions were
offered an accepted in many in
stances for efficient room arrange
ment during that period.
The hotel business in Winslow
has always been overburdened dur
ing the tourist season, and it is not
uncommon for tourists passing
through to so on either to Flag
staff or Holbrook, or to sleep in
their cars. Realizing that such
condition would mean warm. vel
come for a complete hotel of good
size, Mrs. Howell was quick to
take advantage of the business OPP
portunity M
The Howell Hotel is fortunate in
its location. 1t is actually in the
center of Winslow, yet so situated
that noise from trains and highway
traffic is reduced to minimum.
The post office, most of the local
cafes, doctors, garages, places Of
amusement and shops are located
within a radius of two blocks of
the hotel, which is merely an added
convenience to those who stop
there. 2fjfH
There will never be an uncomfor-
table day for Howell Hotel guests.
In the simmer the thoroughly in
sulated roof will cut down the suns
effect, and located as it is, away
from surrounding buildings and
with plenty of air space on each
side, any breeze that is blowing
will reach the hotel. In addition,

ert and the river to the north is

apple or orange and taste 1t before
purchasing large quantity from the
same lot. In marketing for several
days at time such foods as peaches,
bananas, tomatoes or pears, that ripen
at home, should be bought in different
stages Of maturity some green and
some ready for immediate use.
Individual Portions.
Vegetables or fruits that are to be
cooked or served in individual portions
should be uniform in size. But if your
apples. sweet potatoes, green peppers
or tomatoes are to be cut up, mashed
or put to many uses, ungraded prod
ucts at lower price will do just as
well. Mere size is not economical In
cases where single grapefruit or
apple is too large for one and not large
enough for two persons. Estimate ex-
actly how many you require to serve
your family and buy that number.
Have the number or amount you want
weighed or measured after you have
selected it. Otherwise you must learn
for yourself how many sen lngs a
quart, pound or a dozen will make,
and buy accordingly.

League of Nations. and will be known
as League OF Nations post. The post

Huston OF AIinot, N. D., is the chief
of the internal services of the league.
He is known as 'the man who died
and came back" He was once Off

seriously wounded at Chateau Thierry.
But he later staged comeback, en-
tered the st. Mihiel action and went
on through the Argonne and later be-
came director OF athletics and enter
tainment for the A. e. F.
The post has unanimously voted to
put at the disposal of the Legion's
world peace and foreign relations com
mission "all the special facilities the
post might possess by reason Of the
fact that 1t is situated at the seat of
the League Of Nations and all of its
charter members are officials of the
league"

10000 LEGION MEN
WILL GO TO FRANCE

The American Legion convention In
France next year win be the most
representative national convention
ever held by the Legion, according to
Bowman Elder, chairman of the France
conventions travel committee of the Le-
glon.
ut is significant that the convention
is to be held on the tenth anniversary
of the entry of the United States into
the World war;" Mr.. Elder said. One
of the principal objects In holding the
convention abroad is to enable the
former doughboys to visit the Amert-
can battlefelds In France and to en-
able them to pay homage to the thou
sands of their former comrades who
now lie buried in the soil of France.
at will be a great pilgrimage, be-
hind which there lies a high and
sacred patriotic purpose, the resolve
to rededicate the American Legion
and its membership to the ideals OF
freedom and democracy, the same
ideals for which those who are today
buried In France died and which in
spired the organization of the Legion
ten years before"
Mr.. Elder explained that though
10000 veterans would be taken to
France on the Legion pilgrimage. max
ing the crossing in "a luxurious ocean
liners, this would probably be less
than the number of those who actu-
ally wanted to so. In order to give
everyone an equal chance, definite
quotas were to be assigned to each
state, based on membership of the
Legion in any particular state during
the year 1926.
'sThe Legion is further particularly
anxious to make it possible for the
men OF moderate means who could
probably never. afford to go to France
as a regular tourist to join the Legion
expedition" Mr.. Elder declared. He
explained that on behalf of these men
a campaign had been inaugurated by
the France convention travel commit
tee to obtain the cooperation of en-
ployers in granting extra vacation
time in 1927. 1t will require at least
four weeks to make the trip to
France and back.
MANY Legionnaires who want to go
to France feel that 1t Is futile to save
their money unless they can obtain
| the necessary extra vacation time,
Mr.. Elder declared. I'VE are there
fore trying to assist them by bringing
their problem to the attention Of EN-
ployers in all parts Of the country.
wherever this has been done, we
have received the heartiest co-opera-
ton. A number OF large corporations
have already issued bulletins in which
they promise their employees who are
ex-service men an opportunity to OBJ
tain at least four weeks vacation In
1927. Employers associations in all
sections have given 1t the stamp OF
their approval"
The cost of the trip will be within
the reach Of almost all veterans, Mr.,
Elder pointed out The lowest inelu-
sive rate which will provide transpor-
tation both ways on the Atlantic, ho-
tel in Paris and trips to American
cemeteries and American battlefelds
will be approximately $175. The en-
tire trip, including all expenses can be
easily made for as little as $500, he
declared.
