H0LBR00X-
WINSLOW
"Them as has, gits; and
them what ain't loses what
they got". Other than an
overwhelming conceit, Win
slow ball players failed to
make a display. And oh boy;
the Hobrook team proceeded
to take that away. Through
out the gam3, heavy hitting
was the feature. Five home
runs three to Winslow, ma
terially added to the excite
ment and the score. Sixteen
clean hits were made by
both teams. Lady Luck, ever
fickle, rooted for each with
admirable impartiality Sat
isfactorily have we proved
that the local team is the best
in Northern Arizona. Come
. one, coma all, we'll take you
to a cleaning.
Individual mention, in this
case, doe3 not mean as much
as it ordinarily would, 'cause
all the boy& "done noble".
Capp on first was a strength
ening feature whom we could
ill afford to lose. At bat he
receives credit for our two
home runs, one of which was
made while two of his play
mates occupied bases. Buck
les behind the bat, was un
able to make a misplay. His
pegs to second were super
lative. Herewith we predict
that the brand of ball played
by this seventeen year old
athlete guarantees his ap
pearance in the "big time".
Thompson's seeming ease
at second discounts many a
difficult put out. That boy
sure shows big in the box
score. At short Crumley tri-,
ed for everything in his ter-1
ritory; but the condition of
the infield plus a new posit
ion, caused two errors. Arn
old Lee at third was some
what nervous. For a fifteen
year old boy, however, he
certainly shows class. Three
hits out of five times at bat
is a far from slouchy offens
ive. In the field, Loweryhad
very little to do, but at bat.
he was a .50 J man. Center
field was much debated, but
happily Engle was appointed
thereto. Five pu touts result
ed from this decision of man
agement, and it was evident
that the right man was on
the job. "Old Reliable"
Gaumnitz ably cared for the
right garden. Fred headed
the batting list, and with re
ason. He either hits 'em,or
kids the pitcher inte a base
on balls. Sunday he hit.
"Smiling Ted cannot be too
highly praised. When proper
ly supported, Reuter can
pitch good enough to win
any ballgame.
Charlie Osborne appeared
in uniform for the first t'me
this season, and his coach
ing on third was in no small
measure responsible for the
winning of the game.

CARE FOR DISABLED FIRST
There is a great difference
of opinion as io the advisa
bility and practicability of a
Federal Bonus law,but there
is nowhere any disagreement
as to the desirability of pro
mpt,-adequate and generous
provision for the disabled
veterans cf the war. It is
not only the duty but will be
the high privilege of the peo
ple of 'the United States to
provide hospital care for the
sick and injured, rehabilitat
ion for the crippled and vo
cational training for those
not capable of making a liv
ing. All this the people of
the country want done in no
spirit of parsimony or re
luctance but in the most
friendly and gr teful manner
and they will have no pa
tnience with any officer of
the government who mis
treats the veterans com
mitted to his care. The of
ficer of a Southern hospital
and vocational training camp
who dismiss the members of
a protesting committee and
who referred to them as
"nuts" has no proper place
in the government service.
He is entirely out of touch
with the spirit of the nation
and should be displaced at
once. It is altogether like
ly that some of the sick or
injured soraiers are irritable
restless, and tryingupon the
patience oí those who have
charge over them. But that
must be expected. They have
been through war, and war
is hell. The officer who can
not handle such men has no
place at the head of an in
stitution maintained for their
care and rehabilitation.
WHAT'S YOUR POLICY?
Are you doing business,
or treating the man who may
be working for you, cn the
army and navy plan? By that
;.ve mean, if he offers a sug
gestion abut the business do
you upbraid him for it as
though he dared to' know
more th.n a superior officer?
Or if he tells someone else
chat he thinks the business
should be conducted in a dif
ferent way, do you call him
"on the carpet" for daring
to criticise the one in com
mand? As a general rule we find
Holbrook men who employ
help are very thoughtful of
them. But occasionally we
hear of a man who is ac
tually so blind to his own in
terests as to refuse to accept
a good suggestion from an
employe. He appears to feel
that it he did so it would, in
a way, show that someone
knew as much about the
business as he does. That
hateful thing called "pride"
is usually back of this.
It is a good idea to re
member that there .is still
a.- lot of truth in the old state
ment that two heads are bet
ter than one. And it is also
very well to try and be big
enough to accept with thanks
a gocd suggestion from any
one, whether they work for
7ou or not, and to show that
ou know how to appreciate
the interest of anyone who
takes an interest in your
business affairs and your
business success.
The really big men of this
country today owe a large
.oart of their success to sug
gestions and examples se
cured by others, which they
were smart enough to take
ip and use in connection
with their own -ideas.

HOLBROOK,

On the local ball grounds
last Sunday was staged a

designated the H B's the
'Home Brewers" and it
stuck throughout the game.
Umpires were changed of

MISTAKES IN PRINT
Let a man make a mistake
in his conversation, or even
in a letter he may have ad
dressed to you, and you pay
little attention to it. But let
the same mistake appear in
a newspaper and it sticks out
like a sore thumb it seems
to stand right out above
everything else in the paper.
We 11 venture to say there are
not a half-dozen Holbrcok
citizens who have the least
idea of the vast number of
metal pieces contained in a
single column of a newspap
er. But there are hundreds
of pieces to each column, and
the displacement or a single
one of these usually means
an error. When this is con
sidered you get a pretty gocd
idea of how easy it is to make
a mistake in print. And yet,
considering that there are
more chance for making a
mistake on a single page of
a newspaper than there is in
writing a hundred letters,
the newspaper possibly con
tains fewer errors than any
other form of written or
printed communication. It
might be a good ideo, ítycu
are among those who can't
understand why an occasi
onal mistake creeps into the
paper, to' drop around to a
newspaper office sometime
have this explained for your
benefit.

IN MONTANA AND COLORADO
The pale western cutworm is again
present in destructive numbers in

reports to the Bureau of Entomology,
United States Department of Agri

that from 10 to 75 per cent of the
small grain will be destroyed in the
counties infested, and in Colorado
thousands of acres are being plowed
up and reseeded to a catch crop.

STATE LAND COMMISSIONER
KUCIILER VISITS FLAG.
State Land Commissioner Rudolph
Kuehler, of Phoenix, is in Flagstaff
this week meeting with the state farm
bureau and the conventions of the
slate cattle and wool growers which
convene this morning at the Orpheum
theatre.
In speaking of the land question,
Commissioner Kuehler said: "The
affairs of the state land office are
gradually being straightened out and
all of the old questions settled as fast
as it is possible to get to them. Just
how to segregate the monies amount
ing to over $600,000 received under
the old administration, which should
have been applied on the accounts of
the different state institutions, but
which were loaned out on farms, is
one of the hard questions to solve. The
state and counties to which this mon
ey should have gone, are paying 8 per
cent interest on money while the loans
made by the state only draw 6 per
cent. As a consequence the counties
are still levying taxeS for money to
pay old bonded indebtedness while the
funds are loaned out; funds which
should have been distributed to ihe
proper funds after the sale or lease
of the lands given, the state by the
government for those specified pur
poses. It would work' a great hard
ship to withdraw these loans at the
present time, even if such a thing
were possible.
"While I am thoroughly convinced
that the money received from lands
set aside to pay off the old bonded
indebtedness of Coconino and other
counties for the old railroad bond is
sue, it seems they are tied up by legal
technicalities which I hope will soon he
?c'.t!ed," he declared.

FOREST SERVICE DEPLORES
WASTE IN WOOD TURNING
The Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture
recommends a more intelligent use of
timber after it is grown. Forest con
servation deals with the utilization of
wood in the sawmill or factory, as well
as with its production in the forest.
There is just as much conservation in
making twice as many ax handles out
of the same amount of wood as there
is in doubling the amount of wood
grown on a particular area.
Investigations made by the Forest
Service have shown that in logging
and manufacturing an average tree
but 33 per cent of its total volume,
including limbs and' bark, is actually
realized as seasoned rough lumber.
Taking rough lumber as the starting
point, only 95 per cent of it reaches
the final manufactured form in plan
ing mills and sash and door factor
ies; and but 75 per cent of it appears
as finished parts in the manufacture
of furniture and vehicles. There is
probably no wood-using industry in
the United States in which there is a
greater need of working out ways and
means of saving raw material than
the manufacture of turned products.
Iri certain instances, 2 tons of hick
ory stock a high grade material rap
idly becoming scarce yielded but 400
pounds of finished handles. ,
The Forest Service is encouraging
the drive launched by wood-turning
manufacturers for standardizing the
raw material, reducing waste, and ex
tending the timber supply.
POSTMASTER BEGINS "
TERM IN U. S. PRISON
-With the contingent of federal pris
oners who started from Phoenix for
the penitentiary at Leavenworth,
Kans., was Lon R. Bailey, former
postmaster of Bisbee, his alleged ac
complice, Matt Keaton, and three
other prisoners. The prisoners were
under a guard of U. S. officers.
Bailey, who plciuled guilty to having
arranged a robbery of the Bisbee post
office on April 3, was sentenced to
six years in the prison. Keaton, who
confessed to having assissted Bailey
in stealing $40,000 from the post
office, was sentenced to five years.

every patriotic person
should do his part to count

íous influences and should
stand up and be counted."
was the assertion of Howard
Elliott, Chairman of the Ex
ecutive Committee of the
Northern Pacific Railway, in
an address on the Fortieth
anniversary of his gradúa
tion from Harvard. Taking
this as a text, the Republican
Publicity Association, thro
ugh its President, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., has
the following comment to
make:
"This is another way of
expressing the sentiment
voiced by Chairman John T.
Adams, of the Republican
National Committee, when
he said recently, 'Politics is

cne arc ana science oi gov
ernment, in a republic like
ours it is the noblest occupa
tionof citizenship and he
who. withholds himself from
its activities is a peacetime
slacker.
"The citizen of sound
principles and good purpose
who remains inactive in form
ing public opinion and shap
ing public policies," contin
ues the Association, "may
not be a positively bad citi
zen but he is far from a
good citizen. He is properly
characterized by Mr. Adams
as a 'peacetime slacker.'
"There are no inactive
citizens among the Social
ists, the I. W. W., the Bol
shevists. They are propag
andists one and all, working
in season and out of season
to add converts to their
ranks and hasten the time
when there shall be either a
peaceful or a violent revolu
tion for the overthrow of
the United States Govern
ment. They are not afraid
to 'stand up and be count
ed.' "As Mr. Elliott very ap
propriately pointed out in
his address at Harvard, the
United States has made mar
velous development in the
forty years since he received
his diploma. The popula
tion of the country has more
than doubled; the wealth of
the country has been multi
plied ten-fold; the railroad
mileage has been quadrup
led, many of the cities of the
West which were of small
consequence in 1880 are now
centers of great . industrial
and commercial importance
numbering their inhabitants
by the hundreds of thou
sands. As Mr. Elliott said:
"With this has come in
creased comfort, conven
ience and luxury for the
people; many inventions
have produced improved
health, and sanitary living
conditions as well. Great
attention has been given to
charitable and educational
work.... And yet, some hu
man relations are not right.
We are in turmoil when we
should be a happy nation
working together for the
good of all. There is a spir
it of unrest, of discontent,
of extravagance, of idleness,
of expected perfection and

FLYNN IN ACCIDENT
LOSES BOTH FEET
A freight train crushed
both feet of O. T. Flynn
Tuesday of this week at a
station just the other side of
Flagstaff.
Flynn it seems was cross
ing the track when the train
backed up faster than he ex
pected. The conductor on
the freight tied tight band
ages around each leg to stop
the flow of blood and started
to Flagstaff with him.
At the hosDital. in Flap-
staff it was found necessary
to amputate one foot just
below the ankle and the
other just above the ankle.
Owing to the loss of blood
there is some doubt as to
whether he will recover.

OIL TO THE RESCUE ' J
The miner's union strike f
to force national ownership
of British coalmines has had
the effect of directing the
flow of oil from all over the
world to Great Britian.
. Coal is being discarded in
the merchaht marine, the
navy and manufacturing,
and as a direct result of the
strike large supplies of oil
are being imported into Eng
land. For four months ending
May first England imported
150,000,000 gallons oil, com
pared with 86,700,000 gal-
Ions for same period in 1920.
Third week in Mav oil im
ports were, 26,000,000 gal
lons. It seems as if the strike
has been ruinous to the coal
industry and to the miners.
A cheaper and better fuel is
taking the place of coal, just
as better and more efficient
labor methods are taking the
place of the strike-wrecked '
unions.
