MAYOR SENDING
ARIZONA SOIL TO
GEORGIA SCHOOL

To many who have come to
Winslow in the past twenty years,
the name of their present home
town was at one time absolutely
unknown, and probably up until a
few weeks before they started
their steps Winslow-ward, they
had never heard of the Meteor
City. Situated as it is upon a
great transcontinental railways
route, and an equally famous high
way, Winslow each day gets more
recognition, and its name is be-
coming more familiar in all parts
of the country.
concord, Georgia, which is a
good many hundreds of linear
miles from Winslow, a group of
school children, with the whole
state of Arizona to select from,
evidently considered Winslow as
representative city of this COM
monwealth, for Mayor A. E. Gill
lard was this week honored with
a special request from high school
students there for a small amount
of Arizona soil.
According to their letter, the
senior class of Concord, Georgia,
plan to plant tree on their cam
pus as part of their graduation
exercises, and around it's roots
they mean to place the soil of
every state in the union. This
ceremonial will include toast to
each of the states which has grant
ed their request.
Mayor Gillard sent a box of
Winslow soil direct from his own
garden Monday morning, so that
the tree in the little Georgia town
will have the assistance of North
ern Arizona to help it flourish.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. Gov
ernor Hunt had no comment to
make yesterday on negotiations
between Arizona and California,
over division of the water and pow

Cleve w. Van Dyke of Miami, is
chairman of the commission and

service to the state in turning Out
the necessary teachers who viii
take their place in this enlarged
educational program.
The unsurpassed climate of
Flagstaff with it's excellent Local
ton as a center for the education
al development of it's young peo-
pie were among the advantages
pointed out by the speaker.
In closing Mr. Gammage pointed
out if. the college here were to take
advantage of their opportunities it
meant a great deal more than just
hiring faculty members, student
body, and an excellent location; it
meant that the entire community
of Flagstaff, faculty and student
body will have to cooperate in
this program for development If
the college is going to measure up
to the increased responsibilities
asked of it in the future.

NEWS VALUES
(NOgales Heraldl

The prime motive of any news
paper worthy the name is to print
news. That is it's first mission.
and it's ability to get news and
print it accurately in readable
form is the yardstick for measur-
ing its worth as newspaper. The
real newspaper does not set it.
self up as arbitrary custodian of
public morals or public conduct in
any way. 1t lis not an organ for
any sect, creed or party. 1t prints
news and gives the public credit
for being able to draw it's own
conclusions from the printed news.
Editorial comment merely reflects
the editors views
The larger tile newspaper, the
greater the territory it serves, the
more news it must have-the more
news it wants. Every paper should
print all local news for which if
can find space. Local news comes
flrst. After that, news of the
community. county, state, nation
and world. But news is the mar
ketable product, the only product
a newspaper has. If demand for
news slumps, subscriptions follow
suit. But as long as the reading
public's thirst for news is appeas-
ed, a newspaper continues to grow.
Just as an instance of the value
newspapers place upon news, a
big New York daily last week
threw out twenty thousand dollars
worth of advertising to make room
for verbatim reproduction of testi-
mony in the Hall-Mills case. That

can be that the Glen Canyon site
is one of the very best on the riv-
er-this for the simple reason that
the stream makes a great bend
above the damsite and that con-
struction at this point is cheaper
than at any other on the river.
The greatest engineers of the
country have declared the Glen
Canyon site ideal-and surely their
judgment is to be accepted in a
technical matter like this. This
paper has always maintained that
there are plenty of other available
sites-and there is room for just
as many dams as can be built. 1t
may be remembered that the La
Rue report suggests no less than
thirteen dams-and they will all
be built some day.
Divested of all argument and of
all politics, the simple fact re-
mains that we have, right here, the
greatest possibility of development
that the world affords. Some day
we will get it.

fFLAGSTAFF, Dec 10-The grad
uating seniors of the Christmas
class were the guests at a ban
quent rendered in their honor on
Thursday night by the faculty of
the Northern Arizona Teachers
College.
Mrs. Grady Gammage was toast
mistress for the occasion and she
arranged one Of the finest pro-
grams ever attempted at an affair
of this kind.
Dean Lintz and Judge J. w. Per-
kins spoke on the past history of
the college. Judge Perkins was a
former member of the board Of
education and related the history
of the institution from the days
when the administration building
was used by the state as a reform
school, and traced it's development
up to the present time.
Mrs. Ida w. Douglass, head of
the romance language department,
and Senator Walter Runke, re-
lated present history of the college.
President Grady Gammage spoke
on the future. Dean T. 0. Bell
wood led the happy diners in
songs and the music was furnished
by Prof. C. V. Ridgley, with two
violin solos and Miss Louise Cour-
tbs at the piano.
In speaking of the future of the
college President Gammage point
ed out that the success for the
future of the present college is
wrapped up in the future of the
state Of Arizona. He told his hear
ers that the state of Arizona has
developed more rapidly during the
past decade than any other state
in the union, the increase in pop
ulation was greater, and that the
promises for the next decade were
even much more brighter in the
development Of our natural re-
sources and education of the
young people of the state The
opportunities Of the Northern Ari-
IONA Teachers College will in
crease with this increased develop
ment because more teachers will
be needed and it is going to be up

NOT GUILTY

Bro Damon editor of the Mohave County Miner takes
quite crack at Wnsow and Navajo county in recent is
of his paper in commenting the allegations that there
has crooked Arizona elections, which
wish to set him right
In his comment Editor Damon remarks:
"Over in Navajo county the town of Winsow
is Dragging of having polled within three of the
total registration, which is going some, that town
not having unusual graveyard. 1t is railroad
town where fifty per cent of the train service vot
out the road, but that should not deter
well regulated machine in getting out the vote
although in a while they everyday their hand"
These remarks of the Mohave editor probably oc-
casoned by report that appeared in Phoenix
papers short time following the general election that Wins
low cast almost hundred percent ballot November
End Shortly after this appeared The Mail corrected this
report although do not know whether the Phoenix papers
published a correction not Instead of Winsow
having poled within three votes of it's total registration
poed to be exact 34 votes out of registration of
1439 and far know the election in Winslow and
every other part of Navajo county, conducted regular
with hint Of corruption fraud The Miners
comment indicates

an Associated Press dispatch said,

newspaper had ten reporters and
special writer's covering the trial

advertising was lost forever, be-
cause when a newspaper closes it's

giving the public news, the kind
