BUILDING MASCULINE MEN.
Winslow is far behind its Quota in the Boj Scout cam
paigns, according to word from leaders of the diives now
being- waged to finance the movement.
Why? , . 1
There isn’t any especial antipathy. One couldn’t find a
“knocker” with a fine-tooth comb. Everyone with an ounce
of intelligence knows that the Boy Scout movement is doing
more to build virile American manhood than all othei 01-
ganizations combined. The Boy Scout movement catches the
boy at a time when he needs training most- —while he is still
young enough to incorporate its teachings in the make-up of
character that will be carried by him all through life. The
Bible classes, the Y. M. C. A. and other organizations take
him on later, but the groundwork for their efforts is already
laid if the boy has been through the Scout training.
From time to time news stories seep in over wires of
lives saved through Boy Scout knowledge. A human saved
from drowning here, another life saved through a Scout s
knowledge of rendering first aid after an accident, two boys
saved after being lost in a forest —saved through a knowl
edge of woodcraft acciuired from their Boy Scoutmasters.
Winslow needs a Boy Scout organization. The sons of
railroad men are entitled to this modern method of making
life’s pathway a little easier than their fathers fund.
Perhaps the proudest exclamation of proud parents of
men-babies for time immemorial has been: ‘He’s such a
manly little fellow.”
And what is more manly than one of these little fellows
resplendent in the khaki of the Scout, bandana around his
throat, as he struts down the street on his v r ay to a Scout
meeting or helps hold the crowd back during a parade. T his
latter use for Boy Scouts has proved a valuable adjunct to
the work of police departments in many of our larges cities.
Let’s all get together and push. Winslow’s Boy Scout
movement is in the mud financially. Flagstaff, Williams
and Holbrook are “coming through” in good shape. Let
Winslov/ do it’s share in building mascaline men.
MAILING CHRISTMAS PARCELS.
The matter of delayed shopping and delayed mailing of
Christmas packages is mainly a habit. Some people aie
constitutionally slow. Os course there are those of us who
put off various purchases until the last minute for financial
reasons but these are in the minority.
The postoffice department in recent years has waged a
continual campaign to “mail early” and in the past two or
three years the campaign has been steadily gaining results,
it is said. There are, however, still a large number who wait
until several days before the big event to mail parcels. When
they discover about the first week in January that the pai
cel arrived a couple of days after Christmas they heap bittei
words upon bitter words and dump them all on the slow
poke” postoffice department, when they have only them
selves to blame.
The same applies to shopping late. Customers rush in
to stores at the eleventh hour and are jarred almost into hys
terics when the merchant says: “Yes, we had ’em here. I
just sold the last one yesterday.” “Bum service,” shouts the
tail-ender, “wdiy don’t they keep some kind of stock on
hand.” Merchants cannot afford to tie up money in stock
they might be forced to carry over another year just to
please belated shoppers.
Ten days left. Get busy right now".
You can’t stop those Giragi boys.
A number of years ago they purchased the old run-down
Tombstone Epitaph and made it one of the very best weekly
newspapers in the state. During the present year they sold
the Epitaph to the Kelly interests and purchased the Wins
low Mail which they have converted into a daily, the only
daily paper to be printed in the northern tier of Arizona
counties embracing Mohave, Coconino, Navajo and Apache.
The Giragi boys have energy, ability and experience.
They are toound to succeed in their new venture, and we wish
them luck. —mmbar’s Weekly.
o
Here’s a good one. There have been all sorts of schemes
to evade the Mann Act, but the alibi of the young man ar
rested recently in Globe has them all beaten. According to
his story, when the couple reached the Maryland line in an
automobile, the young lady got out of the car and walked a
few feet from Pennsylvania into Maryland and got back in
to the vehicle. That action, he says, disposes of any charge
against him of transporting a woman from one state to the
other.
On arriving at Cumberland, the young man wrote the
figure 18 on a slip of paper and Miss Flickinger placed it in
her shoe; therefore, when they told the marriage license
clerk that the girl was “ov.er 18,” they did not perjure them
selves.
o
Another newspaper has changed hands. This week an
nouncement was made that A. S. Mills, veteran Phoenix
newspaperman and for ten years publisher of The Messeng
er, staunch Democratic weekly in the capital city, has sold
out to Mrs. Angela E. Hammer and sons and A. M. Tweed.
While it is with regret that we note the withdrawal of Bro.
Mills from the Arizona newspaper field, w T e are sure his
successors, who are experienced newspaper people, will carry
on and will continue to conduct The Messenger as a cham
pion of Arizona democracy.
-
A Chicago gangster once sagely remarked that “some
wimmin are so ignorant they’re dangerous.” Witness the
case of Mr. Ormiston.
I se \ our head to get on your feet.
\\ isdom is knowing what to do next.
Keep conscience clear, then^ e r fear.
Children need models more than critics.
Fi iends are the most worthwhile things in life.
WE THANK YOU.

THE COST OF WAR
(Miami Silver Belt)
One of the lesser items of the
late World War to the people of
the United States, is represented
in the appropriations made by con
gress for the Veterans Bureau. The
worthy recipients of those appro
priations are the heirs of the sol
diers who died in the war, and the
sick and wounded survivors whose
disabilities were incurred in ser
vice. This item alone will cost the
taxpayers of America nearly half
a billion dollars for the next fiscal
year. It means a levy of approxi
mately live dollars a head on the
population of America for that
purpose.
The toll of human misery, which
those sums appropriated by a
grateful nation inadequately com
pensate, cannot be computed in
dollars.
It behooves any nation to think
long and seriously before embark
ing in war in this age. Even the
victor must pay a collosal price
before the modern engines for the
destruction of life and property
have ceased their deadly havoc.
AS EASTERNERS NOW BELIEVE
IT TO BE.
(Bisbee Rievew)
The Arizona Industrial Congress
should have a representative in
Boston to offer exhibits to prove
that the testimony now being read
before the probate court hearing
the will contest of the late. Lotta
Crabtree does not'apply to modern
conditions and morals in this state.
The average easterner believes
that “Buckskin” Frank and “Two
Gun” Pete still hold sway in the
mining and cattle towns of Ari
zona, and the testimony of the San
Francisco man, a former Tomb
stone resident, will only serve to
strengthen this erroneous impres
sion. East of the Mississippi they
consider Arizona as a vast desert,
inhabited by Indians, cowboys and
bad men. A factory representative
of an automobile manufacturer ar
rived in Bisbee some time ago
“armed to the teeth” against In
dians whom he believed roamed
the plains of Arizona. A Southern
Pacific conductor stated that many
have asked him to “point out the
desperadoes at the next station,”
when traveling through Arizona.
The east cannot understand that
the west has been tamed. The
story of the Boston hearing is be
ing sent out by the Associated
Press over the country. The story
of the early days of Tombstone
will strengthen the existing belief
in savages and gun men, and a lit
tle propaganda to off-set the reviv
al of pioneer days might help dis
pel the fears of the easterners.
OCR PETRIFIED FORESTS
(Jerome News)
Much has been written, in times
past, about the great petrified for
ests in northern Arizona. Many of
the great scientists of the country
have told their ideas on this won
derful natural curiosity, hut they
confined their papers to strictly
W I N S.L O-W J). A U, Y M A 1.1
HITTING THE ROUGH SPOTS
scientific journals which hart no
general circulation. The biblio
graphy of the forests is extensive
—but none of these papers ever
reached the general public. They
were too “ultra” scientific to have
the necessary general appeal.
Everybody at all familiar with
the facts knows that the forests
are one of the greatest natural
curiosities of the world, but all too
few realize their importance as
geological relics and as beauties of
the state. The great increase of
visitors means just one thing—that
the general public is waking up to
the fact that Arizona has more to
show the visitor than has any state
a the Union.

dry was 'called into the backfield

the shadow of the San Bernardino

march on straight football, and the

holes in the San Bernardino de-
I sense.. Benjamin made 12 yards,
and it was Newton first down with
6 yards to the goal. Benjamin
made 2 yards, but on the next play
Mort broke through and tackled
the bulky Clauson for a 6 yard

game ceased to be anybody’s.
Clauson kicked the ball between
the uprights for the extra tally.
Score, Newton 19, San Bernardino

Commissioner Landis
(Continued from Page 2)
as baseball commissioner, or to
oppose his re-election for a seven
year term, which will come up at
the joint meeting of the major
league clubs here Thursday.
.This was apparent tonight as
club owners of the American
League gathered for their annual
meeting tomorrow and Wednesday.
Commissioner Landis will have
the unqualified.support of Colonel
Jacob Itupprecht, owner of the New
York Yankees, and Charles A. Com
iskey, owner of the Chicago White
Sox, and it is considered likely no
other American League magnate
will raise his voice even in a whis
per concerning the opposition, if
any, to the renewal of Commission
er Landis’ term.
It is probable that the American
League' in extending its endorse
ment, may decide to boost Landis’
annual salary of $50,000 to a higher
figure.
The American League club own
ers are expected to concur in the
action of the National League in
voting to extend the 1927 campaign
into the first week in October, in
stead of ending the season the last
week in September, as was done
this year.
As the American League club
owners seemed to have settled
in advance what their decision will
be on the major questions com
ing up. it is .likely that spirited
trading sessions will over-shadow
the news of the deliberations of
the owners.

“I would never have been in

when I was a girl. Why, oh why is
it that parents never tell their

tell the old folks a few things, my
self, but wliy should I? Getting
down to the crux of the matter, I
was fired from my first position,
that of cigar stuffer, because I had
carelessly forgotten the formula
and was only using 18 per cent, of
old cotton rags. This dereliction
of fluty cost me dear, as you are
shortly to learn. Roaming the
streets, hungry and too heavily
clothed to attract any attention, my
