Elks’ Minstrels.Tuesday evening at the Opera

House, the “standing room” on-ly sign greeted the late comersto the Elks’ minstrel, and for afull two hours the crowd enjoyedthe music, the specialties, andthe rapid fire of local hits direct-ed at our staid and respectablecitizens. The first section wasthe real minstrel even to the fulldress suits, gorgeously attiredend-men, and the “Gentlemen,be seated’’ of the interlocutor.The snap and action in this partof the program was excellent,each performer coming across intrue form.

The second section was severalspecialty numbers, which hadfor their purpose the amusementof the audience, with no thoughtof high-brow stuff for mental

' pabulum. The curtain numberwas twilight on a plantation,with negro melodies by the fullcompany.

The promoters of the perform-ance have good reason to con-gratulate themselves on the suc-cess attending their efforts, andthe keeper of the exchecquer isready to extend praise. He hasnot yet ascertained the full gatereceipts, as it will require an add-ing machine.

Victory Loan.The drive is on for the Victory

Loan, and Winslow’s share to beraised is $36,000. To start thethe campaign off with the prop-er amount of enthusiasm a sol-dier-train of three cars full of re-turned soldiers from France willarrive in the city Sunday after-noon and an open-air meetingwill be held at the foot of Kins-ley avenue on Front street. Thehigh school band and the BoyScouts will take part in the cele-bration.

While $36,000 seems a lot inone sum, if you will get it downto units'it means only one SSObond for each family in town.The amount ought to be subscrib-ed in a day, without any solicita-tion, whatever. Both banks willreceive your subscriptions.

Uncle Joe Jordan, probably theoldest brakeman of the Albuquer-que division, as on all previousloans, was the first man to go tobat with his usual SSOO purchase.Joe is an old school democrat, buthe is an American first.

Vulcanizing Plant.Our old friend Martin Dadey

has all the necessary machinerynow on the road to open an up-to-date vulcanizing shop in Wins-low, and ne expects to have themachinery all placed ready forbusiness by May Ist. Mr. Dadeythoroughly understands the auto-mobile game in all its ramifica-tions, and has made a specialstudy of vulcanizing.

Pine-Payson Road.The Pine-Payson road south

through Sunset Pass is now infirst-class condition for auto trav-el, and is the most scenic routeout of Winslow. With the com-ing of spring the Pine-Paysonvalley will be one of the beauti-ful garden spots of’Arizona, withits budding fruit trees and grow-ing vegetation. The past winterhas been a most prosperous onefor the stockmen in that section,as there was an abundance offeed and the losses were verylight.

Winslow Boy Gets Cross.Winslow can be proud that it

is the home of Jess Fears. Hewas a cow-puncher before he gotin the war game and started af-ter the Hun. At the battle ofSt. Mihiel a piece of a Germanshrapnel tore away part of themuscles of his left arm. He didnot quit the game, however, butput in his time aiding other sol-diers who were injured worsethan he was, until taken backfrom the front. He was cited bythe military officers for bravery,and shortly afterwards was senthome on a hospital ship and dis-charged. Last week there cameto Jess from the French govern-ment its decoration of the Croixde Guerre, and he is the happiestcow-puncher in Arizona, but sovery shy and modest he blusheslike a school girl when the sub-ject is mentioned.

partment prohibiting the sendingof packages to the soldiers inFrance has finally been annulled.In the postal bulletin receivedthis week postmasters are in-structed that hereafter parcels

chard, who carries the rank ofLieutenant in the M. R. C., andis with a hospital unitin France,has sent the editor a Germanshell for a souvenir. Or perhapshe sent it to intimidate us. Wewill have to wait until he comesback to learn the truth.

• contracting parties.The bride is a sister of Mrs. C.

; M. Service, and came to Winslow1 from her home in Boston about

The ladies who have completedtheir course in Home Hygieneand Care of the Sick, and takentheir examinations and been rec-ommended for the Red Cross cer-tificate, express themselves asdelighted with the practical na-ture of the course and the help-ful lessons they have been ableto put into practice. One mem-ber of the class decided to seewhat she could do to abate thefly and mosquito nuisance in herown back yard, so she carefullywashes each tin can as soon as itis emptied and punches two holesin the bottom before putting itin the receptacle to be removedlater. Tin cans are not attract-ive to flies unless they containfood, hence no flies breed inclean cans and mosquitoes find nowater in which to deposit theireggs. If all the neighbors of thissensible woman would do as shedoes flies and mosquitos would bescarce in that block.

A new class will be formed atonce, and all ladies interested are

: requested to meet at Washingtonschool next Monday, April 28, at3 p. m., in the teachers’ parlor,
