ton perhaps, is the bible class work
which has been conducted among
high school boys, in a class known
as the Mack bible club, and conduct
ed by H. f. Shiffer. This class had
us enrolled, 10 of whom took the
international examinations, which
covered the work of the entire
course. The local examiners grades
were all high, none receiving under
so, which insures more than passing
grades by the international sexamin-
ers. The course which has been on
the life Of Christ, is progressive and
will cover period of three years.
The same students are expected to
take up the work in the ensuing
years.
e. ID. Fisher of Rock Island, has
been the able teacher of the Sunday
, . moon bible class, which has met
regularly each week and has been
highly successful. The course taught
is the international Sunday school
lessons which this year have been
running through the book of Acts, in
the new testament. For the conven-
fence of Sunday school teachers at
tending the lessons have been taught
one week in advance of the regular
Sunday school lesson. Mr.. Fisher
has been unanimously chosen by the
class as their instructor for the COM
| ing year and each class member looks
forward with eager anticipation to

Religious Work Department.
The religious work department of
| the association has been headed by
w. J. Beardsley as chairman. AS
ISOLATED with him and on other com
mittees for the promotion of all kinds
of religious work, 81 men and boys
have labored.
The usual Sunday afternoon mems
| meetings have been maintained
| throughout the season, and in addi-
| ton, several open air meetings were
| held during last summer. The fall
season saw new effort put forth

was abandoned on account of the
expense and difficulty of securing

The Boys Meetings.
The boys meetings in the name OF
B. G. NJ. club, have been successful
| i nough smaller in attendance than
| the previous year, because of the
change of age limit, inaugurated at
| the beginning of the season, with
the purpose of getting the attend
ance of the older boys. The young
err boys. those under IL years of age
being cut out the effect was obtained

meeting has been changed from d
youngsters meeting, to that of wei

Teach Them to Work

Many mothers imagine their daughters fortune made when she learns enough to thump on a piano or labors enough to daub a cheap chromo or to work yellow dog on a door mat. Girls are only too glad to be spoiled that way. Teach them to command regimiment of pots and kettles; teach them to make good bread and good coffee; teach them to make garments and to patch them when they need it; teach them physical development; teach them it is more cruel and less Chris tian for American women to cramp and distort their lungs. liver and stomach than it is for the Hotten- tots to press their heads flat, or for the Chinese to make their feet small. Good. healthy, industrious girls make happy homes, and wives and mothers.-Ex.

Waterproof Paper

Japanese waterproof paper is made of fbers of bamboo and eu- ealyptus mixed with fbers of the gampi and other shrubs. The fbers are torn apart, dried. cleaned scraped. boiled in weak lye. and washed in water. They are then beat en and mixed with a viscous infu- sion of certain roots and a solution containing camphor, caoutchouc and resin. The sheets formed from this pulp are calendered at various temperatures. The paper is light, washable and very difficult to tear. It is used to initiate leather and India rubber and for a great many other purposes.

Tenths of a Second

It is not common to find a per son who can correctly estimate the lapse of a single second. But, as English writer remarks, in these days of speeding automobiles, the exact time when each of two collid- ing vehicles must have occupied particular spots may be matter of great importance. In recent ex pertinent a car took nearly two seconds to stop after the brakes were applied, and in that time it moved 19 feet. So even fractions of a second are important. One can train oneself to estimate even tenths of a second. Try it with a watch, and it will be found that it is just possible to count ten in the lapse of a single second. But one must count very fast to do it.

Finding Underground Streams by Sound

Finding Underground Streams by Sound
 When it comes to scientific mat ters it is hardly wisdom to believe all that one reads in the papers. Still sometimes the press gives a valuable suggestion, and in this connection, i'll view of the fact that we live in country of underground streams, the following from the St. Louis Post Dispatch may prove of great benefit to our farmers:
 "A rational device for finding underground currents of water has been invented by Frenchman named Dienert. It was suggested by the instrument known as Da- guin's acoustele-a device for the analysis of sounds, somewhat like a megaphone. To use it hole about foot deep is sunk in the earth and the large end of the horn is placed in it, tubes attached to the small end being inserted in the ears. If there is underground run ming water anywhere in the vicinity it may be heard plainly, the sound mbling that of the wind in a forest. Still water, of course. ca n- not be detected. Experiments with this instrument near known sub. terranean streams have succeeded we'll"

Santa Fe Improvements

A program of betterments cover ing all departments of the railroad property west of Albuquerque is understood to be under considera- ton by the Santa Fe railroad for the coming year. The information which comes from a reliab source is to the effect that the plans con- template the double tracking of practically the entire line from Winslow to San Bernardino and that this work will be commenced in the near future.
 Business which will keep both the old main line and the new cut off line busy is expected by the railroad with the return of normal business conditions now believed to be at hand, and the double track ing of the western lines will be made necessary by increased busi- ness.--Albuquerque Journal.

THIS city by all means should have live commercial club busy boosting it's splendid resources. Copies of an attractive folder set. ting forth. the resources, climate, etc.. should be printed at once and scattered broadcast. The adver- tising matter distributed among the passengers going through Williams would do lot of good. Several thousand of these proposed folders should be distributed at Seattle among the exposition visitors and
 during the Irrigation Congress at Spokane. The Williams baseball team could distribute the folder and do effective boosting while on tour through New Mexico, Texas and southern Arizona. A few hundred dollars spent in this man
 ner would bring returns more than 0 hundred fold. ,.

Statehood Bill Introduced

Washington, July 16.-Delegate Cameron today introduced state hood bill into the house. It is slightly different from the Flint bill which was put before the sen- ate last week. but the changes are of a minor character and will be readily accepted by Senator Flint.
 It is the design of Mir. Cameron that the bill may be put into the hands of the committee on territo- ries so that at the opening of the next session it will have an ad- vanced position.

THE surest and best way of beautifying city is by the plant ing of vines, shrubs, flowers and trees. If: every. property owner would plant a few trees on the roadside adjoining his home, the result in . few years would be a remarkable improvement over con- ditions as they are today. Every one in Williams ought to take enough pride in the appearance of the city to take an active part in such planting, and to encourage his neiehbors to do so also. It requires some labor to get it started, but nothing can be accomplished unless an effort is made. There are a few pretty lawns in Williams. They were started with lots of work and care, but see how much pride the owner of that lawn and pretty yard can take in it. It is these few pretty lawns that helps the looks of this town. With some effort on the part of the property owners this city could be made the most beauti ful along the line of the Santa Fe railway.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS"

Some of our biggest business ideas come out of Chicago. A big busi- ness man there has drawn up list of rules which he calls "The Ten Demandments," and posted them over his establishment. Here they are:
 Rule Don't lie-it wastes my time and yours. I'm sure to catch you in the end, and that's the wrong end.
 Rule II.-Watch your work, not the clock. A long days work makes long day short, and short days work makes my face long.
 Rule III.-Give me more than l expect and Pll pay you more than you expect. I can afford to increase your pay if you increase my profits.
 Rule IV.-You owe so much to yourself that you can't afford to owe anybody else. Keep out of debt or keep out of my shop.
 Rule V.-Dishonesty is never an accident. Good men, like good women, can't see temptation when they meet it.
 Rule VI.-Mind your own busi ness and in time you'll have busi ness of your own to mind.
 Rule VII.-Don't do anything here which hurts your self respect. The employe who is willing to steal for me is capable of stealing from me.
 Rule VIII.-It's none of my busi ness what you do at night. But. if dissipation affects what you do the next day, and you do half as much as I demand, you'll last half as long as you hoped.
 Rule IX.-Don't tell me what I'd like to hear, but what I ought to hear. I don't want a valet to my vanity, but I need one for my dollars.
 Rule X.-Don't kick. If I kick if you're worth correcting. you are worth keeping. I don't waste time cutting specks out of rotten apples

Washington, July S.-Upon nu- merous requests from Arizona for the restoration to the public of the domain of about 16,000 acres of land located between Gila river and the Southern Pacific railroad near Yuma, Delegate Cameron called upon the secretary of the interior today and asked that these lands, which were withdrawn for irriga- tion purposes. be restored. The de, partment promised to take up the matter later on.

THE NEWS is in receipt of the off
 cial call for the Seventeenth Nation
 al Irrigation Congress which meets in Spokane, Wash, next month from the 9th to 14th. inclusive. All indications point to one of the most notable gatherings of the kind ever held in the United States. Arizona has in this Irrigation. Congress a rare opportunity to make known her wealth of resources where it will bring her splendid return on the investment. It is to be hoped that every section of the territory will send delegations of strong, public spirited men, as the south west will have special need for friends to uphold it's interests. Be- Ing held during the exposition at Seattle, it will enable Arizonans to attend at very little extra expense and, at the same time, travel through and see the most beautiful and fertile sections of the Great West. Among the organizations entitled to send delegates are the following: Five delegates appoint ed by the mayor of every city and town; five delegates from each county appointed by the board of commissioners or supervisors; two delegates by each cha mber of com merce. board of trade or conner cial club, etc.

In Chicago the weeping wives and frightened husbands besieged the office of the marriage license clerk last Friday to learn whether they gre legally married, following the recent decision of Municipal Judge Beitler that justices of the peace had no authority to unite persons in marriage. Many of the scared ones carried babies or led small children. If the decision is upheld, the legislature may legalize marriages of this kind.

THE INCOME TAX

There are 46 states of the Ameri- can union, the smallest equal to the greatest in the work of amending the federal constitution. Before the funda mental law can be changed, added to or subtracted from, two- thirds of each house of congress must agree to the proposition, and three. fourths of the states, speaking through their representatives in both houses of their legislatures, must ratify the amendment.
 It is proposed to submit an amendment to the constitution con- ferring on congress power to levy an income tax directly upon the citizen without regard to popula- ton or residence. It is certain that this change, if change it really be, meets the approval of an immense majority of the American elector- ate; but, under our federal system of equal states, twelve states, and they are the smallest, may defeat the thing, and that does not ex- press the full force of the difficulty, for the opposition has but to secure a majority of either house of the general assembly of any state to count that commonwealth as op posed to the proposition.
 As at present constituted, there is little doubt that twelve states can be lined up against the amendment: but if Arizona and New Mexico should be admitted as states it would require the dissent of thir- teen states to defeat the amend ment, and the Washington Post finds in this situation some food for cogitation by the senators and rep resentatives of the sixty-first con- gress, now solonizing on capitol hill. The admission of those terri tories as states at the present ses sion would render it far more diff cult to defeat the amendment. It is true, dog days are nigh and solonism is irksome, but if two thirds of congress-of both houses are earnestly in favor of the in- come. tax amendment they can make it doubly manifest by mak. ing those two new states.
