The community that will pull to-

for the general interests, will find an
abundance of prosperity.
And working together means the
spending of the dollars of the com
munity within the community. Nor
does 1t mean only that the farmer. the
mechanic, the doctor. the preacher,
the editor must spend their money at
home. but 1t means also that the
merchant must do the same thing. II

Best Violin STRINGS.

The best strings for violins are of
xfalian make and are from the intes-
e1nes of spring lambs, killed in Sep
Ssmber. The process of drying and
Bleaching of the woods and strings by
tie hot Italian sun, rather than by
tire artificial method used in other
re'ssuatries, accounts in great meas
rtre for the superior quality of both
materials. This intense heat was also
rne reason for the slow distilation
Of the oils used by the Italian max
sTs, which always remained at high
temperature, and the varnish, slowly
soaking into the woods of the violins
Beneath the heat of those Italian sum-
E5erS, produced, in part, the mellow
mess of tone that gives to a Cremona
Sustrument its value, after lapse Of
200 or more years.-March Circle.

FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-cuticura
Cures Her in Five DAYS.

After my granddaughter of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered a great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
of. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,
much to our joy, had been entirely
cured, and has been we'll for long
time. Mrs. F. Ruefenacht, R. F. D. No.

HELPING ALONG HIS MEMORY.
Husband Willing to Do His Best to

Mr.. Morse is an undemonstrative
man and an absent-minded one as well.
In these two respects he is a trial to
his wife, who is. exactly his opposite.
James," she said as she bade him
good-by when he was about to start
for Chicago, will you remember to
hunt up Cousin William and find out
all about Aunt Sarah? 1t is so many

"Yes, my dear"

Of your dreaded colds?"
"Yese, my dear"
And you will try to remember that
you have plenty of clean collars, SO
you needn't go about looking as If you
had no wife to see to you?"

he turned to take up his bag.

REASON FOR ALL THINGS.
Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had
Oriuin in Wisdom,


Origin in Wisdom.
If you are patient enough to ferret
it out you will find that there is a rea-
son for every little idiosyncrasy we
have, for every queer thing we do.
Take, for example, the wearing of
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements of maline, crepe and
lace? 1t is a custom handed down to
us from the Romans, who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss of
a dear one. This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without single spear of hair on their
heads, but of course it was most un-
attractive for women: No one, not
even Roman matrol, liked to be
seen bald-headed, so the women Of
the Tiber devised little cap to hide
their badness, and thus the custom
has come down to us, even though
heads are no longer shaved as a sign
Of mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead is that years ago, when toll
ms was III 81 coIdpliaHeu, tHe people
thought that the sound of the bells
frightened away evil spirits who how
cred near the dead.
Why do men, and women, too, wear
bows on the left side of their hats?
The reason is simple enough. When
the head covering built upon the order
of hats of to-day was first introduced
it was ornamented with a ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
in two ends on the left side, reaching
below the shoulder. These ends were
a sort of anchor, or safety line, and
were put there expressly to be seized
when sudden gust of wind threaten
ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because, as
general thing, the left hand was more
apt to be free than the right. Eventu-
ally these ribbons were knot,ed in
fetching bow with flowing ends. and
then they were cut off quite close to
the hat, so that they form a very
small and stiff bow knot.
1t is always the custom to throw old
shoes after a bride and this queer
custom came into vogue when parents
were in the habit of using their slip
pers to keep their girls obedient and
good. Now the slipper is not really
intended for the bride. but for the
bridegroom, who is supposed to use
it for the same purpose the mother
and father of olden times did.

or whoever it may be, that intends to
erect new building they should buy
the material for that building at
home of their neighbor, Mr.. Building
Material Man.
And let us speak a word for Mr..
Printer Man also. He is a part Of
this community; he contributes to its
prosperity; he advertises it, and he is
entitled to his place in the circle
through which the community's dol
lars are to circulate. When you, Mr..
Merchant, want printing of any kind,
give the job to the home printer.
The dollar that you spend with him
he will again spend with you, and
both will make a profit on it. 1t is
but fair that he have this, his legiti-
mate portion of the home trade. He
is as much part of the community
as yourself, and as much entitled to
your support as you are entitled to
the support of the farmer, the me-
chanic, the preacner, the doctor.
The battle against the mail-order
octupus can never be a successful
one unless all interests are actively
engaged in it. 1t can never be sue
cessful so long as the merchant wants
it preached but does not want to prac-
tice it himself. The merchant who
sends his saving account to the city
bank for safe keeping is not entitled
to the support of the community
whose money he takes from it. The
merchant who will not patronize his
brother merchants, who makes his
visits to the city an excuse for buy
ing his own household supplies, sup
plies that are not carried on his own
shelves, of the city merchants, is not
entitled to the support of the com
munity. Such merchant wants to
preach but not practice home trade.
He wants to do with the community's
dollars just what he condemns in
others-send them away from the
community. He would bankrupt the
community for selfish interests.
There are few, if any, such mer-
chants as this in this or other com
munities, but if there are any here it
is not for their benefit that this pa
per is preaching home trade to it's
readers.
We hear much of the strength of
trusts and combinations. In what
does their strength lie? To a large
extent in the fact that they control
tie trade in the commodities in which
they are dealing. They make every
dollar they spend an interest earn
ing dollar. Let us form little trust
of our own. Let all of us, merchant,
farmer, doctor, mechanic, preacher,
editor, spend our dollars at home,
keep them at home, and we have or.
ganized trust of our own that will
bring to each of us our share of earn
ings on the capital invested.
This is not hard problem to figure
out for ourselves. The farmer, let
us say, wants a dollars worth of
sugar He buys it of the home gro
ceryman. Fad the groceryman makes

TIME TO CLEAN FURS.
Bran Is the Best Agent That Can Be
Employed.

Every woman who wears furs should
clean them this season, no matter how
carefully they have been worn, for
they are surely dirty, though dark
skins may not show the soil. Many
light ones, however, give marked evil
dences now of the need of cleans
ing.
This cleaning process that restores
the luster and life" may be easily
done at home by rubbing bran into
the fur. For this work buy a pound
of bran, divide it into two portions. and
place one in the oven to heat. Spread
the fur on paper on table and rub it
well all over with the cold bran. Then
shake out the bran and brush the
fur with soft hat brush When the
rest of the bran feels hot, rub it even
ly into the fur in the same manner as
before. Shake it out and brush it
till the fur is quite free from all bran
and dust
Ermines, white fox and other white
skins require slightly different treat
ment. Sawdust and plaster of paris,
mixed half and half, should be heat
ed and rubbed into the skin several
times. Then the coat, collar. ETC.,
should be put in the sun TO air or
else hung near a radiator.
A white felt of chiffon hat may
be much freshened by rubbing pow
dered magnesia into it as firmly as
one can without injuring the material,
and then brushing out with a. soft
brush. Repeat this several times.

profit. The groceryman buys a dol
lars worth of dry goods, and the dry
goods merchant makes a profit. The
dry goods merchant patronizes the
dentist, and the dentist makes
profit, and the dentist buys butter and
produce from the farmer and the
farmer makes a profit. So as the
dollar goes around and around COM
munity each man into whose keeping
it comes makes profit on the ham
ding of it, and the dollar grows into
two. But what would have happened
had the farmer taken that dollar to
buy his groceries of the mail-order
house, or the groceryman sent 1t to
the city for his dry goods? The
trust organization OF the community
would have been broken, that dollar
would have ceased to earn profits for
the people of the community, but
would have began earning dollars for
the city into which 1t was sent.
1t is the dollar that Is spent at
home that makes the savings deposits
of the home bank grow; that in
creases the wealth of the community,
and decreases the tax rate. Buying
at home means saving the commun-
ity. but, Mr.. Merchant, do not preach
this trade at home doctrine unless
YOU practice It, You must buy your
stock of merchandise In the city to
be sure, but aside from what is spent
for your stock of merchandise see
to it that every dollar 1t is possible
to keep at home remains in the COM
munity. Keep them circulating
among your neighbors, and they will
make money for you as we'll as for
them; they will build the home COM
munity, and make of 1t prosperous
community in which your business

will grow, and your town holdings
will grow in value at the same time
the farmers acres grow in value. The
home trade problem is many sided
one, and the home merchants side of
the problem is not the least of them.

BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL

To the Editor of The Williams
 News:
 I am neither a politician nor an office-seeker. having been elected to a position of trust and responsi- bility. it is my intention to do the very best can to protect the rights and interests of the taxpayers of che county, and if I fail in any way to do so, l believe that ev ery fair. minded man who knows me and will take the trouble to look into the matter for himself will say that while 1 may be mistaken in any particular matter in which 1 may be compelled to act officially, I will at least do that which I think is right, fair and honest. and that it is my wish to be equally fair to the poorest citizen of this county and the richest corporation that has any property interests in it. While intend to be governed in my off, cial action solely by what I believe to be my duty. I feel that may make mistakes of judgment and wish the benefit of any honest criti- cisms of any of my official actions. and if they seem to me to be just and made from honest motives, shall be very glad to change my views and acts in such matters. so as to prevent any wrong results.
 Since my election have spent a great deal of time in looking into the Bright Angel trail" matter, because I thought it might become my duty to act officially in some way about the matter.
 When several newspapers recent ly published articles criticizing the action of the board of supervisors in extending the franchise for the trail. to Ralph Cameron. felt that every intelligent citizen of Coconino county should know that those arti- cles were either written by the rail- road company's lawyers, or by some of their local agents or tools. and did not feel that it was worth while to reply to attacks, the falsity and maliciousness of which should be clear to every citizen who takes the slightest interest in the affairs of the county; but. since in the last issue of the Williams News, a com munication from some person who did not have sufficient manliness to sign his name, was published. at tacking the integrity of myself and of my fellow members of the board of supervisors and charging us with dishonesty+in the extension of the Bright Angel franchise, I feel that it is due to my friends as we'll as myself. that Ireply to that attack and correct some of the many false statements that have been publish ed by the railroad company and its local tools. regarding that trail and the numerous lawsuits that have been brought by the railroad com pany, through its cheaply boughten tools, regarding it.
