A. A. A. RACES In
HOLBROOK LABOR
DAY, SEPTEMBER 6

Holbrock has staged several rae
es since the Highland Park race
track was built but the races sched-
uled for September 9th, Labor Day,
are the first to be held under the
supervision and with the sanction
of the American Automobile Asso-
citation. Formerly only OUTLAW
drivers could enter, and there have
been embarrassing delays, lack of
discipline and apparent misman-
agement. This time, with the A. A.
A. representatives in charge, any
A. A. A. driver can enter, and the
entire race should go through with
clock-like precision
If any rumors about tameness of
races in Holbrook are afloat, it
should be remembered that the La
Dor Day races will be in a differ
ent class from any other races put
on in Holbrook The A. A. A.
sanction and the A. A. A. drivers
alone guarantee that fact. But
there is also the consideration that
instead of fifty-mile event and
nothing else, the Holbrook people
are this year staging three shorter
events which means more action
and more excitement for the spec
tators.
1t is hoped that most of the
speed merchants who showed their
wares at Albuquerque Sunday will
trail down to Holbrook for a try
at the money on Labor Day. With
Jimmy Randolph of Douglas as the
first entry received, the omens
seem favorably disposed to classy
field. Entries are limited to four
teen drivers.
The first race is a 15-mile open
event, with two prizes, and the sec
ond race is 10-mile sprint for all
except the two who placed in the
first trial. TIL third race is a rs
mile free-for-all, with three prizes.
The feature race will be a chal-
lenge race between a Miller Special
and the other winners. The Miller
Special holds the worlds record
time for dirt and board tracks, and
is the highest type of racing ma
chine now manufactured. When
the speedy little front-drive ma
chine sets out on the Holbrook
track to take the measure of the
boys who led the field in the other
events, the spectators will see some
real dirt-track driving.

QUARANTINE MEN
HALT DISEASED
PLANTS AT YUMA

A news Letter from the quaran-
tine station of the Arizona Com
mission of Agriculture and Horti-
culture at Yuma states that in the
week ending August 28th. there
were 1,050 interstate tourist cars
inspected for the commission. One
hundred and twenty-six of these
cars were carrying agricultural
and horticultural products which
were infected with injurious pests
and which were confiscated and
destroyed.
The fruits and plants confiscated
consisted of Oranges, lemons
grapefruit, date palms, geraniums,
and miscellaneous plants, which
were found to harbor such pests as
California Red Scale (Chrysompha-
lus Auranti), Purple Scale Oepi-
dosaphes beckii), Black Scale,
(Saisettia Oleae), Cottony Cushion
Scale (Icerya purchasi, Citrus
Mealy Bugs (Pseudococcus citri)
and other serious pests.
Several interceptions were also
made on honey from sections of
California that are infested with the
American and European Foul Brood
the former of which is very seri-
Gus menace to the bee industry.

ST. JOSEPH CHILD
HURT TUESDAY in
QUEER ACCIDENT

, Becoming confused and running
Jinto the rear fender of a passing
automobile, the 3-year-old son of
Marion Tanner, Of st. Joseph, suf-
fered painful scalp wound which,
however, was not considered dan
gerous by physicians in attendance.
The car was driven by Herbert
Morris, of Stafford, who was return
ing to his home after visit to Los
Angeles. The accident occurred
Tuesday evening
Morris, who stopped and took the
child to his home, stated that he
went into ditch to avoid playing
children who ran in front of his
machine, and that he thought he
was clear of the youngsters when
he heard something strike his rear
fender. On stopping, he found that
the child had evidently become con-
fused when the other children ran.
and had run directly into the side
of the car, falling and cutting a
long cash on he top of his head
when he struck the license plate.
Morris, who has relatives here
and in st. Joseph, was absolved of
all blame for the accident by wit
nesses.

STOCKHOLDERS LIABILITY CASES in
DEFUNCT WINSL OW BANK TO BE HELD
In HOLBROOK SEPTEMBER 10TH

According to Sidney Sapp, of the
firm of Sapp G Mclaughlin, attor-
neys for the State Banking Depart
ment, receivers of the defunct Bank
of Winslow, the cases filed by the
department covering stockholders
liability are to be held in the Super
ior Court at Holbrook on Friday,
September 10. Judge Jones, of
Flagstaff, has been called to sit on
the bench due to disqualification of
Judge Crosby, of Navajo county. +.
The stockholders liability suits,
which were filed some time ago
have been pending for some time.
Recently the California courts held
in favor of the banking department,
on suits brought by Sapp & Nc
Laughlin on liability of stockhold-
ers residing in California.
According to Judge Sapp there
are three questions involved in the
tria lof the cases, the first as to
whether the liability is of pri-
mary or secondary nature; second,
as to whether the liability is statu-
tory or contractual, and third, as to
whether or not the statute of linn
itations will apply.
On the first question the bank
ing department holds the liability
is secondary, and second that the

NAVAJO COUNTY
FAIR SCHEDULED
FOR OCT. 1st, End

The Navajo County Fair will be
held on October list and End, the
date having been decided upon re-
Gently by the Fair Commission.
The Fair will be held at Taylor,
which was selected by delegates
from all sections of the county, who
made the decision at the request of
the Board of Supervisors.
The Fair Commission have be-
gun the work of making this years
Fair the best in history, and are
anxious to encourage everyone to
save and prepare specimens for the
exhibits.
These exhibits should include
things in almost every line, for in
stance, agriculture, horticulture,
livestock, poultry, cooking, Dress
making, boys and girls club work,
boy scout work and woodwork from
the vocational department of the
schools, as well as educational ex-
hibits.
Bending every effort to get the
premium list of the Navajo county
Fair in the hands of prospective
entrants in short time, the com
mittee this week had two of it's
members, Messrs. Hatch and Glib
bons, of Taylor, in Winslow col
lecting advertising for the book.
The Fair, which is to be held in
Taylor on October 1st and End, will
be made up of representative dis
plays from all over the county, and
the list will, by listing prizes in
different sections, attract more ex-
hibitors to the exposition
Within a few days the complete
data for the premium list will be
in the Mail" office, where the
book is to be printed, and will be
printed and ready for mailing as
soon thereafter as possible.
Hatch and Gibbons are members
of a volunteer committee formed in
Taylor to put the Fair over bigger
this year than ever before, and the
committee has, by it's own hard
work, earned the cooperation of
every civic body in the entire
county.
Besides the interesting and edu-
cational exhibits Of farm and dairy
produce and animals, there will
also be numerous amusement fea-
lures. according to F. J. Willis.
president of the association. Con-
cessions will be allowed to various
owners of amusement devices. and

liability is statutory, and being cor
rect on this contention the third
question will automatically be ad-
judicated.
Inasmuch as the capital stock OF
the defunct Bank of Winslow
amounts to $150,OO0, hundred
percent levy against the stock un-
der the statute would mean that a
like amount should be paid to the
receiver to be distributed as divi-
dends to the depositors. There is
no reason to believe that, if tho
banking departments contentious
are upheld and the suit is won.
that at least 100000 can be co..
lected from the stockholders, Mr.
Sapp said here yesterday, in whic'
event a dividend of from 10 to Is
percent can be paid depositors.
So far one dividend of 25 per-
cent has been paid and another cf
Is percent is to be paid immediate
ly, making a total of 40 percent. i
the present suit is won, togethe

Sapp declared, that he believes ths
dividends in excess of rs percer
will eventually be paid depositors
in the defunct bank.

ing the register, while 28 declined
to give their party affiliation and

available, but Mrs. Flanagan esti-
mated that almost LOO Winslow

the county's Democratic popula-
tion, also has the most absentee

Rotarians Enjoy
Interesting Back to
School Program

An interesting "back to schooI'
program, arranged by Rev. VIM.
Hessell, chairman of the day, was
enjoyed by the members of Wins
low Rotary at last Wednesdays
regular weekly session, and at
which each Rotarian had as a
guest a boy of school age.
A feature Of the program was an
address by Prof. G. H. Madden, SUI
perintendent of Winslow schools,
also a Rotarian. Mr.. Madden's adj
dress dealth with the reasons why
boy or girl should make every
effort to go through high school
and college to prepare for life in
later years, and his remarks were
replete with facts and figures to
show the fallacy of youth failing
to avail himself of opportunities Of
fered in the school system of the
nation.
Rev. Hessell also admonished the
boys that it was their duty to go as
far as possible through school also
absorbing the spiritual and moral
as well as the intellectual side of
education.
Dennis Sweeney accompanied by
Mrs. Stevens gave a saxophone solo
while Homer Vaughn sang a solo,
in which the Rotarians joined into
the chorus
George Jackson ,one of the
guests told the Rotarians that the
reasons why he intended to go to
college was to prepare himself to
better cope with life's problems in
later years.
The Rotarians discussed matters
relating to Rotary and by unani-
nous vote changed the name of
their weekly publication from "The
Sandstone" to "The Meteor" The
reason for the change is explained
that the former name suggested a
situation which does not exist and
is unfair advertising for Winslow
to the outside world, while the
new name, "The Meteor" will tie in
with Winslow's national advertising
of the famous celestial body which
is buried about 20 miles west of
here. Hereafter, those who spon-
sored the new name, say, that
whenever members of other Rotary
clubs read the bulletin of Wins
lows club they will be impressed
by other than unfavorable adver-
tising

PLAN TO INTEREST
TOURISTS In NEW
2-MARVEL ROUTE

Reams of correspondence be-
tween the Winslow Commercial
Club, the Roswell, N. NJ, CONNER
cial Club, the Carlsbad, N. NJ, Com
mercial Club, and J. w. Becker,
Sprlngerville merchant and boost
er, attest to the interest being
aroused by the new Carlsbad Cav
erns-Grand Canyon route proposed
recently by Becker, who has al
ways been foremost in any move to
advertise northern Arizona, and
this is not the first time he has
worked with out-of-the-state bodies
to further interest tourists in this
section.
The Carlsbad Caverns are rapid
ly becoming Well-known to travel
ers from all over the country, and
the increased travel to this natural
scenic wonder can be diverted over
the Springerville route to the
Grand Canyon, in the opinion of
Mr.. Becker and the New Mexico
Chambers of Commerce.
A campaign of correspondence is
being promoted by those interested
to increase national publicity on
both the Caverns and the Canyon,
and to link the two in the minds
of tourists who plan to see the
Southwest on their vacations. By
so doing it will be possible to work
the plan from both ends, that is to
send Canyon tourists to Carlsbad,
and vice versa.
Printed pamphlets will no doubt
be issued in a short time, showing
the net work of highways that
bring tourist travel to this state,
and defining the route over which
the double marvel may be linked.

Wreck Victim Is
Reported to Be in
Better Condition

Reports Of physicians on the
condition of Miss Daisy Metcalfe,
who suffered dangerous injuries in
an automobile accident on the
highway west of here the night of
August 23rd, are that she is out of
danger. Miss Metcalfe is still in
the hospital at Gallup, where she
was sent the day following the ac-
cident, and will be there probably
for several months Mr.. and Mrs.
R. L. Metcalfe, the girls parents,
left for Gallup yesterday, and will
remain there until she is sufficient
ly improved to warrant her return
to WinslOw.
Owing to her weakened condition,
surgeons have been unable to per-
form an operation on Miss Met
calfe's hip, which was crushed in
the wreck when the small car in
which she was riding was struck
by a large touring car driven by
Gene Redewill, of Phoenix. The
physicians will be unable to deter
mine whether or not the girl will
be permanently crippled until after
the operation, but they are at pres
ent fairly confident that the acci-
dent will not leave Miss Metcalfe a
cripple.
Richard Johnson, who was said
to be driving the smaller car, is
reported much improved, and is
able to be up.
Of the three occupants of the
large car, only one was seriously
hurt, Marion Baker, Flagstaff pia-
no tuner, being badly cut He is
in San Francisco hospital at this
time, and is reported to be out of
danger. Redewill and Theodore
Kress, the third occupant of Rede-
willis car, have returned to Phoe-
nix, it is reported.
