1t was not like this in the
haIcyon days of 1921 and later. At
that time the boys rallied around
the band wagon, casting Treasury
notes at the great mans feet They
wouldn't take no for an answer. al
though this attitude lacked the
virtue of grim necessity. They
never got no for an answer,
Carpenter made enough money
on these earlier visits to carry him
through the remainder of his nat
ural life without the annoyance Of
work. He came over first when
war hysteria was at its best, or
worst. and was romanticized into a
fortune.
often saw Carpenter enjoying
resorts during the war but, of
course, popular fancy had him
strafing Germans at every hour
Of the day and night.
The only thing this almost fictive
character lacked was a title and
Rickard got ii for him by exhum.
ing all that was mortal Of Battling
Levinsky. The Battler went out IN
an early round and Carpenter went
home to France with the light
heavyweight championship and
about $4,000, giving America u
chance to think it over.
When 1t was felt that the cash
customers had absorbed all the at
mosphere that was good for them,
Carpenter was brought back,
matched with Dempsey In the most
colossal sport extravaganza Of all
time, got 100000 and punch in
the so-called beezer
This being sufficient unto the oc.
casion, he went back TO that dear
Paris with those dear dollars.
Shorn OF his title by the late
and unfeeling Mr.. Sikh, he returned
again in 1924 and found the GUS
toners just as vulnerable as be-
fore. He got something like
100000 for finishing second to Tom
Gibbons at Michigan City and prob
ably little more in New York
for being stopped by Gene Tunney.
That incident ended the great
romance, however. The custom
ers had grown wary, if not ap-
pFcHeHsiVe. so UcOrgeS went his
way again.

Ostensibly, his visit is prompted
by q desire to establish the proper
contacts here for Paolino. Actu-
ally, 1t was influenced by his par
donable desire to lose one more
bout and win one more fortune.
One might feel almost justified
in guaranteeing the former. AS
Tad points out, Georges seldom has
failed to have something untoward
happen to him in American rings.
Against Dempsey he said he hurt
his hand. Against Gibbons he said
he hurt his ankle. Against Tunney.
he said he was fouIed.
It remained for 1926 to deal him
his most serious injury, however.
This time, he is ignored.

Navajo County To
Receive S14,287.4O
From Arizona Fund

Navajo county will receive as it's
share $14,287.40 of the fourth and

the state school funds for the school
year 1925-26, according to state

RECEIVE BIDS ON
SPRINCERVILLE
HIGHWAY SOON

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from con-
tractors for constructing and sur
facing five and twO-tenths miles of
the Clifton -Springerville National
Forest road in Greenlee county
within the Apache National forest
will be received by the district en-
gineer of the bureau of public roads
at the Phoenix office, according to
an announcement made last week.
Although this work will not con-
meet Clifton and Springerville with
a class A highway open all the
year around, it will open the great
forest in the northern part Of
Greenlee county, officials say. This
is probably the best timber section
of the state, but because of the 75-
mile haul from the timbered hills
to the railroad at Metcalf, little de-
velopment of the great natural re-
sources in this section has been
made they state.
The bureau recently completed a
17-mile stretch Of this highway
leading north from Clifton and an
other project of approximately five
mile stretch now under considera-
tion is completed.
Copper mining is now the prin-
cipal industry in the section. The
forests of great aspen, spruce and
yellow pine have not been touched,
it is stated. The road from the tim
Der section to the mines at Morenci,
Clifton and Metcalf will be down a
grade, and although the haul will
be long. the down grade will great
ly facilitate the moving of the tim
Der to the mines, where much of
it will be used. Although plans
have been made on several occas-
ions to locate lumber mill in this
district. no actual construction of
a mill has been started.
The road is at present rough and
at times impossible on account Of
snow and heavy rains, but with the
completion of the proposed work. it
will become an important north and
south highway for the state. Part
of the country to be opened with
the completion of the road is an
excellent farming locality we'll suit
ed to the growing of potatoes, veg
etab1es and grain Farmers in this
district will be able to find markets
for their produce and crops when
the road is finished.
The road traverses the beautiful
White Mountains and will carry a
great number of summer tourists
into wild and rough vacation
land Trout fishing is said to be
plentiful in the clear mountain
streams and game abundant.

PROCLAMATION

Realizing the value of the Nation
of the broadening and deepening
of the love for music, and knowing
that music, being in the air by the
combined force of many people,
permeates into places, knocking at
many doors where it is unknown,
and entering where it is welcome,
l, Fred B. Douglas, Mayor of the
Town of Winslow, do hereby pro-
claim the week beginning May 2nd
and ending May Sth, 1926, as Music
Week
The concentration of many mus
ical events into single week has
for its purpose the awakening of
the whole community to the import
ance of music as a factor in its
life. The variety, as well as the
multiplicity of programs makes it
possible to reach the people with
the message of music in some form
and to demonstrate to every indi-
vidual that at least some type of
music appeals to and helps MIN.
The high ideals of Music Week
can only be accomplished through
the combined efforts of everyone in
the community and 1 therefore re-
quest and urge that every individ-
ual, club and organization of Wins
low put forth it's greatest effort
to stimulate the desire for more
and better music.

PROCLAMATION OF
THANKSGIVING

WHEREAS, the past six years
have been exceptionally trying and
costly to the State of Arizona due
to the extreme drouth which has
effected nearly every community
and industry in the State; and
WHEREAS, this drouth caused
a shortage of crops and the death
of thousands of cattle and sheep,
compelled whole communities to
have the water essential to life
hauled to them in railroad tank
cars, handicapped the operation Of
our mining industries, was respon-
sible in part for numerous bank
failures and caused a great deal of
hardship upon our people; and
WHEREAS, I am reminded of
that portion of the scripture con-
tanned in Genisi in which there is
reviewed the history of the famine
in Egypt and it's aftermath; and
WHEREAS, am also reminded
that our Puritan fathers in New
blessed with good harvest following
long period of shortage, offered
up thanks to the Lord; and
WHEREAS, l think it fitting and
proper that after the bounteous
rains which have fallen in the
State of Arizona during the early
part OF April, which have replen-
ished the water in cur .cservoirs,
furnishing water fer human needs
and assuring a plentiful supply of
water to irrigato our fields and to
raise our crops, with further assur-
ance that the grasses upon our
ranges will grow in abundance to
sustain the live stock Of the State
and that springs and mountain
streams will contain water which
will enable prospectors to obtain
this necessity Of life in their work
of looking for minerals to develop
our mineral wealth, and that our
forests will be protected from de-
vastating fires and that as a re-
suit of these things the prosperity
and happiness of our people is
assured; and
WHEREAS, The Honorable Geo.
W. P. Hunt, Governor of Arizona
has issued his proclamation desig-
mating Sunday, April 25th, as a
day of prayer;
NOW, THEREFORE,, I Fred B.
Douglas, Mayor of Winslow, do
herby designate Sunday, April 25th,
as day Of prayer and Thanks
giving, and I do urge that all
churches and laymen, and members
of all civic, fraternal and benevol-
ent organizations arrange for and
conduct community services which
all of the people of this community
are urged to attend.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the Town of Winslow to
be affixed.

GLIMPSE INTO FUTURE
 MADE BY PROFESSOR
Predicts Ind of Home Life. New Type of Liners and Under
 ground Factories

Liverpool, Jan. 15 tPl--That fifty years hence home life will have dis appeared and people will virtually live in restaurants and hotels is the prediction of Professor A. M. Low, well known ns q scientist, Tho professor prophcsies that in 1876 present day types of ships will be replaced by giant hydroplanes which will skim along the surface of the water at terrific speed. Passengers wishing 10 cross the Atlantic will use acroplancs and koop in touch with their homes by wireless.
 Regarding clothes the professor is of the belief that fifty years from now cotton, silk and wool textiles will be replaced by cheaper and more durable forms of vegetable fibre. The wardropes Of womcu will not be so large as now because woman, being by that time auu..L civilized, will not be swayed by every passing wave Of fashion"
 Prof, Low also sees an era of factories built underground. There will be no more chimnoys bclching forth smoke. and factory hands will be better educated as all the rough work of then will be done by machinery.
