RETIRING HEAD
OF ROTARY MAKES
CLUB FINE GIFT

On the eve of his retirement as
president of Winslow Rotary club,
Claude Quebedeaux, who will soon
leave for Albuquerque to make his
future home, presented the club
with beautiful Rotary clock,
which henceforth will adorn the
table at each weeks meeting of
Rotary.
President Quebedeaux, who had
been called upon to make report
of the Nogales convention, gave a
splendid account of the district con-
clave of the Rotarians and then
branching off onto the activities of
Winslow Rotary, he related the his
tory of the founding of the local
club. Mr.. Quebedeaux said it had
been his fine privilege to have been
one of the charter members of the
club, and later as it's president he
had gotten much out of the activi-
ties and accomplishments of the
club and inasmuch as he was re-
tiring as president and leaving the
club, due his removal to Albuquer-
que he desired to present the club
with a remembrance. He then pre-
sented the club with the token,
which is combination clock
mounted on a wooden base on
which is large Rotary emblem.
A rising vote of thanks was CIV
en- the retiring president for his
generous remembrance.
A discussion on the coming Com
munity Chest campaign was had
during the session when Sam Proc
tor, secretary of the organization,
presented the budget which had
been decided upon.
At the suggestion of President
QuebedeauX, it was decided that
the Rotarians would have ladies
night in the near future. The boys
work program, a fuller account of
which appears in another column,
was also decided upon.

Was Northern Arizona the tar
get at which, thousands, perhaps
ten thousands Of years ago, there
was aimed from the fathomless
depths of space monster meteor
or a group of meteorites sufficiently
large to be dignified with the name
of small comet?
Did this visitor strike the earth
with force sufficient to dig crater
more than three-quarters of a mile
in diameter and several hundred
feet deep; to upturn hundreds of
fes t of solid sedimentary rocks; to
aduce some of these rocks to an
almost impalpable powder; to spew
out of the crater 00,000,000 tons
or more of crushed and shattered
sandstone and limestone, such de-
bris forming rim" 200 feet or
more in height above the surround
ing plain?
These are questions which have
engaged the attention of men of
science for more than a third of a
century; questions which, it is
hoped, will be definitely decided
y bring the present year.
Positively Known Facts
Before discussing possible the
cries, let us set down the facts con-
cerning which there is absolutely
no dispute.
In north central Arizona, not far
from the city of Winslow, on the
main line of the Santa Fe railroad
and close to the famous Canyon
Diablo, there is curious crater or
depression, $3.50 feet in one diam
eter and 1850 feet in the other
surrounded by rim" which rises

Seven File For
Council And Board
Of Freeholders

Up to late Thursday afternoon
seven candidates had filed their pc
titions for place on the ballot for
the town council and an equal num-
Der of petitions had been filed for
a place on the board of .freeholders,
according to the records on file in
the office of City Clerk C. L. Muir
ply.
AS next Monday, May 3rd, is the
last day on which petitions for a
place on the council or on the board
of freeholders, who will draft the
new city charter, may be filed, it is
expected that a considerable num-
ber more will be filed with the city
clerk by local citizens, asking that
their names be placed on the bal
lot.
So far those who have filed pe-
titions for councinlmen are Mayor
F. B. Douglas, and Councilman A.
E. Gillard, H. Evans, E. H. Black,
G. D. Anderson and J. B. Edwards,
all candidates for reelection. In
addition to this one other petition,
that of F. L. Harry, has been filed
with the city clerk.
For the board of freeholders up
to Thursday the following petitions
had been filed: o. l.. Gray, J. B.
Edwards, F. B. Douglas, M. E. He
bert, G. T. Stevens, H. A. Funk and
Chas. Daze. AS there will be IA
members of this board elected it
is expected that more candidates
will file their petitions for place
on this board before the last day
for filing arrives. Monday May 3rd
at 5 o'clock is the last day on which
petitions may be filed, either for
councilman of for the board of
freehOlders.
The town election will be held
on May oath, and due to the pro-
posed change in form of govern
ment from town to city it will be
the last election held under the old

SEARCH FOR GREAT METEOR IS TO BE
PROSECUTED AT "CRATER" MOUNTAIN
NEAR WINSLOW, BY STRONG COMPANY

approximately 100 feet above the
level plain which extends for many
miles around it, and which has a
depth of over 600 feet from the
top of the rim at this time, al
though, as will be noted later, this
is much less than the original
depth.
The surface of this plain is, as
stated, practically level for many
miles around the crater; it is COM
posed of almost naked rock with
hardly any of the scanty desert
vegetation finding opportunity for
growth; it is as truly desert as is
to be found even in the most arid
portions of the arid southwest, sand
stones and limestones, and the beds
lie as they were laid down-almost
perfectly horizontal. Scores of cuts
and drillings testify positively to
this fact, which Is of major impor-
tance and should be remembered.
There is not the slightest trace
of volcanic or solfatatric activity
within many miles of the crater.
The rim" mentioned attracts the
immediate attention of the observ-
ing traveller, as it is the sole fea-
ture of the otherwise fiat landscape,
although mountain ranges are to be
seen at considerable distance to
both north and south and the IA
nous San Francisco peaks, 1851
feet above sea level, are visible to
the west
The rock strata, everywhere else
horizontal, are tremendously up
heaved and distorted, often stand
ing vertical and, in a few cases, ac-
tually tipped over as much as 10
degrees beyond the vertical. These

CITY JAIL HOLDS
BADCHECK ARTIST
ARRESTED MON,

After leaving the J. G. Penney
Company's local store, where he
had tried to pass a bogus check,
L. E. Doyle, an employe of C. E.
Jones, contractor who is working
on the roundhouse improvements
under the Mckee Construction Co.,
was taken into custody late Monday
afternoon by Marshall G. w. Harp
and night marshall "Rube" Neill,
and is now in the city Jail, pending
the arrival of Phil Sawyer, county
attorney, who will file complaint
against Doyle.
According to reports, Doyle broke
into the structure housing the tenn
porary office of Jones at the round
house Sunday, at which time he
acquired several blank checks on a
Flagstaff Bank, and Monday, after
it is alleged that he had forged
Jones' name to a check. Doyle at
tempted to cash the check after
buying merchandise at the Penney
store. Believing the check to be
worth a little investigation, Penney
employees instituted a search into
the validity of the check, and it
was this inquiry which frightened
Doyle away.
After the suspected man had fled
leaving his merchandise and check,
police were notified, and shortly
afterward a suspect who was later
Unidentified as the man who tried to
cash the bad check, was arrested.
According to the arresting officers
Doyle appeared to have been drunk
for some days.

Contract Is Let On
Bridges At Manila
And Tanner Washes

Contracts for bridges over the
Manila Wash and Tanner Wash,
between Winslow and Holbrook,
have been let by the state high
way department, according to Olds
Brothers, local contractors, whose
bid on the two structures was the
second lowest of the bids submit
ted, the contract having been
awarded to the Mcmillan Bridge
company of Ell Paso.
The bridges, which have been
needed between here and Holbrook
for some time, will be finished
within ninety days, according to
the terms of the contract, and their
completion will mean that two of
the few bad spots in the Old Trails
highway through Northern Arizona
will be ironed out.
The Texas firms bid on the
bridges was $39,4OO.OO, only 43.OO
less than that of the Olds Brothers,
advices from the state engineer
said.

Proud Papas Suffer
From Swelled Chests

Any lack of room either in Hol-
brook or Winslow can either be
blamed on Phil Sawyer, county at
torney, at Holbrook, or Harry
Kabelin, division accountant of the
s. 9ta Fe, and a Winslow resident.
for both are suffering from no.
ticeable swelling of the chest. This
peculiar malady has been traced to
the fact that the family of each was
enlarged early this week by baby
daughter.
Young Miss Kabelin alighted OH
the Stork Limited early Sunday
morning, and Miss Sawyer reach
ed her Holbrook home the follow
ing day. In both instances, mother
and daughter are doing nicely.

W|NSLOW JOINS NATIONAL
CLEAN Up And PAINT Up
MOVE, WEEK MAY II TO z

s'The Modern Crusader" = en-
bfe.1atic of new and popular con-
ception of the National Clean Up
and Paint Up Campaign-already
is carrying his banner of cleanll-
ness, thrift, and civic pride, into
hundreds of communities Of the
Southern and Pacific coast regions
of the country, and soon will turn
his face to Winslow, as a result of
the action of Mayor Fred Douglas
and the City Council this week
through issuance of a proclama-
tion of "Clean Up and Paint Up"
week from May 18th to 22nd in
elusive.
The Clean Up and Paint Up
nnpaign for Winslow is co-opera-
ton with the National Clean Up
and Paint Up movement, and the
vast amount of good done by these
campaigns in cities large and small
in our country is reason enough
for promotion of such campaign
here, according to Mayor Douglas
and the city council, who went on
record as enthusiastically support
ing the campaign for Winslow.
The Clean Up and Paint Up Cam
paign is launched at different dates
in different communities, according
to their geographical location and
their climatic and other local condi-
tions, and, when properly con-
Quoted, lasts long enough to do a
thorough job of cleaning up, beau
tifying, repairing and general re-
Mobilization. In most communities,
the intensive period for launching
the campaign is at least several
weeks. In Charleston, South Caro-
lima, the period is six months, while
Utah already has had campaign
which has extended over the great
er part of a year.
The purpose of the campaign is:
mot only to Clean Up but to
permanently commit to cleanliness,
attractiveness and public respect,
everything cleaned up. The mere
cleaning is transient and futile
", Snout public commitment to the
new order of things-so that being
clothed in the garb of righteous
ness as it were, and, in it's new
dress, or grass, or shrubbery,
thrift garden, or paint, the place
will so inspire the respect of every
body that it will not be permitted

FINAL PLANS MADE
FOR CHEST DRIVE:
OFFICERS ELECTED

Final plans for the big Com
munity Chest drive, which will
take place sometime during the
latter part of May, were definitely
decided by the policy committee,
which met last Saturday after
noon. A list of charities to be in
cluded in the budget of the Chest
was submitted and approved, sub
ject to change, and officers of the
Community Chest organization
elected.
Mayor Fred B. Douglas was
named chairman, Sam Proctor,
secretary, and Chas. F. Dare,
treasurer, with Mrs. w. B. Darl-
ing, Mrs. Horace Evans and Mrs.
G. G. Jackson constituting the
rules committee.
The itemized budget follows:
Boy Scouts, $1,0OO.OO, Salvation
Army, $25O.0O, St. Joseph's Or
phanage, $4,000. Red Cross, $3.50
Arizona Children's Home, $4,000,
Florence Crittenden Horne, 5000,
Camp Fire Girls, $4,000, Preven-
torium Fund, $4,000, Community
Christmas Tree, $25O.00, DR.. Lux
ems Home for Boys, $4,000, Mis-
cellaneous local charity and ex-
pense, $3,250.0O.
This total sum, which will be
raised by the efforts of volunteer
workers, will in reality amount to
almost twice as much should each
organization try independently to
make drive for funds.
The chest idea does away with
numerous campaigns throughout
the year, and the expense inciden-
tai to such drives is saved. BY
making one concentrated drive a
saving of time, trouble and money
is effected for both donors and
workers.
Sufficient money will be kept
on hand for the support of any
local individual charity work, or
to provide for payment to any
charity not included in the budget
that must care for any of Wins
lows needy. The Sisters Hospit-
al at Gallup was not included in
the budget, owing to the fact that
many individual donations to that
institution Independent to the
Community Chest, are made every
year from Winslow, and any local
charity case that must be sent to
the Sisters Hospital will be paid
for out of the local charity fund.
The Community Chest idea,
while new in Winslow. has been
in use for some years in many
cities and town of all sizes in this
country, and in every case the
saving of time and money to all
concerned has been great. One
yearly donation squares" the
debt to charity, and from the one
big central fund disbursements
are made to national, state and
local charities. This centralizing
and organizing of charity works
with the same efficiency in charity
as in business; donors are not
constantly approached with sub
scriptinn lists, charities are enab-
led to collect money without ex-
pense, and each individual locai
case must stand the investigation
of a local committee.

KNOWS HOW TO FEED,
SO MAKES A PROFIT

The efficient feeder and careful
manager will make a success of pouf-
try keeping when the average poul-
try keeper is just getting by and the
inefficient one is getting ready to go
out of business.
the flock of Hugo Johnson, a
poultry keeper of Chisago county,
had the highest average production.
1859 eggs per hen, of 81 poultry
record farm flocks reporting for
year to the agricultural extension
service at University Farm. Mr..
Johnson fed grain and mash in about
equal amounts, and his net return
amounted to 1897 bird. His total
feed cost was 1888 per hen, which
was above the average but increased
the egg production to more than
enough to pay the higher cost of
feed. The value of eggs alone was
$219 per bird more than enough to
pay the feed bill, while for the aver
age fockmaster the eggs paid only
$1.56 per hen more than the cost of
feed.
Production in the low flock
dropped to 80 eggs per hen. On in
vestigation it was found that of a
total of Sc pounds of feed fed each
hen, the amount of scratch food was
7s pounds, leaving only eight pounds
of mash fed each hen. This ration
was altogether too high in fiber Be
sides, this flock of 248 hens received
only 400 pounds of meat scraps for
the year, or less than two pounds
per hen, while the average require
ment is seven or eight pounds per
hen.
