Santa Fe's January
Business Shows
{ Is Per Cent Increase
By STEVE HORTON

Eight thousand cars, an increase
of about Is per cent over any pre-
vious month of January, was the
record of Winslow yards of the
A. T. & S. F. railroad last month
While discussing the month s
business with a transportation Of
fetal, he said in part: "The trans
portation facilities Of a community
are a good barometer Of the busi-
ness of the territory served, as well
as the country at large.
F For" he continued, "our show
ing for January is largely due to
the lettuce movement This crop
of lettuce, you understand, is pro-
duced on the land from which we
get the cantaloupes. But before we
get the. "cants" there will be an
other crop Of lettuce put on the
market about April the first
During the 1920 season. the AL
hambra district near Phoenix, put
on $50 cars of lettuce and 21O0 cars
of cants, by 1925, it had grown to
1905 cars of lettuce and 3170 cars
of lcants. The fall crop of lettuce
just moved reached 1860 cars by
the 28th of January. This figure
will no doubt be near 2050 before
the last cars have been moved.

to the legislature to enact a law
that will protect human lives at

9Th. I am in favor Of the enact

till the soil.
7th. The high standing of our
educational institutions must be
maintained, and our system of

and extended.

foregoing figures speak in plain
language that the agricultural in
dustry in the Arizona Southland is
out of it's swaddling clothes.
1t was necessary to employ
eight additional brakemen to han
die the additional business, there
being eight chain gang cars on
the second district, with twelve on
the third
The passenger business for the
month was heavier than last year.
This year however, Winslow has
had a much more difficult time in
handling the passenger trains than
heretofore, on account of the
change Of time on the evening
trains. AS it is now, No. % gets
here so shortly after the departure
of the ''three's" that it complicates
the work Of handling the engines.
However, there have been no delays
in handling this work Team work
has been the factor that has elm
mated the most productive sources
of delay.
We often speak glibly of coop
Grafton and teamwork, but just
what is it in this particular case? +?
To begin with the train masters
office has all three engine crews
for the 'three's" report for duty
at the same time. This enables Mr..
Milan, the "engine herder," to move
all of them to a spur near the de-
pot at the same time. Upon the
arrival of the first section of threes
he moves the inbound engine to
the round house, where he remains.
When the first section leaves town
"Tug" Wilson, second-trick yard
master, takes an active part by
sending the inbound engine to the
house, coupling on the out bound
engine.
The enginemen have helped by
being ready to move at once. The
boys who do the grooming for the
iron steeds have contributed their
share by having their charges man
icured, to the pink of condition.

ploye of the Winslow postoffice re-
ceiyes less than $1.800 per year,
and salaries range as high as $4,000
yearly, making the positions desir-
able enough to insure first class
clerks, he explained
The total expenditure of the
Winslow office reaches approx
mately $22.0O0.0O annually, which
is very gratifying amount when
it is considered that the larger
part of it is spent in our own com
munity, the postmaster reported.
An interesting increase was
shown in Postal Savings. Up to
October, 1924, fifty-one depositors
had total of $10.500 to their cred
it in the old defunct Bank of Wins
low. At present there are 165 pos
tai savings accounts in the First
National Bank for total of $780,
600. These funds are loaned to the
local bank at small rate of in
terest, the government returning
the greater part Of this interest to
depositors.
Classifications of mail were sum-
med up as follows: First class
mail, any envelope or package con-
tanning, any written matter what
ever; second class mail, newspap-
ers; third class mail, books, peri
odicals, circulars and other print
ed matter weighing up to eight
ounces; parcel post, any mail mat
ter not included in the other three
classes
AS a finish to the program, Mr..
Greaves gave an interesting in

143 college students were loaned
money to complete their courses.
Out of $31.400 loaned, not a dollar
was lost to the club members.

THE WORLD COURT

The question is, will we be bet

get in it, can we withdraw, if it
don't suit us. What do we stand
to gain, or lose by becoming a
member of the World court.
Up to this time we have at least
followed and acted upon the ad-
vice of our first President, General
George Washington, when he said !:
"Tis our true course to steer clear
of permanent alliances with any
portion of the foreign world" He
also said: "To be prepared for war
is one of the most effective means
of preserving peace"
