majority of them could be brought to Williams.
 We already have the assurance of the Fla gstaff citizens that they are not contemplating a demon stration on that day and as these two towns are the only summer re- sorts in Arizona, one of the features of the program could be "Tourist's Day." when only tourists would be eligible to compete in the sporting events, and thereby urge large at tendance from other parts of the territory.
 So let everyone take this oppor- tunity to show his or her loyalty to Willia ms by booming and boosting the celebration. Lay aside all diff ferences and unite to advertise one of the most patriotic little cities in Arizona. Get together with the temporary committee and have a crowd at Tuesday nights meeting. that the best of material may be obtained, that each and every event on the program will be a feature in itself. There will be needed, cowboys, horsemen, baseball en- thusiasts, in fact representatives of every sport that might be appreci ated.
 We have the assurance that the business men will stand together let the citizens do likewise. Let no one stand either for malice or gain. Work for the one purpose | greater William ms!

 Rest Asleep.

Sometime early Thursday night two of the hoboes who have been locked in the city Jail were liber- ated by pal who was outside. The pal had in some way found or stolen a key to the jail lock. For some unknown reason the rest of the buns in the jail did not go away. It is probable that they were asleep when the others left.
 When Tom Jones went to the jail next morning to feed one of the prisoners he found the lock lying on the ground. The door was shut.

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW
Atty. Gen. Norwood Tells Polk County Democratic Committed It's Duties Rel
 ative to Recognizing Voters.

Little Rock. March ll.--At- torney General Hal. L. Norwood, in response to request from John H. Hamilton, representative from Polk county, rendered au opinion yesterday in regard to the duties of a county Democratic Central Committee in distributing poll books, ballots, etc, and canvassing the returns of the primary. The attorney general holds that "where the new primary election law says that the primary cleo tion shall be legal election, if was merely for the purpose of making those who perpetrated any frauds responsible as though it was a general election, but the law does not change the machiu- cry for conducting such election" He continues:
 "You know that before this law was passed primary elections were legal elections, provided a certificate was filed by the central committee, declaring that such election should be a legal cleo ton. The late act makes all pri- maries legal without the neces- sity of filing the certificate.
 About the only change the law makes is that it prohibits any person voting iu any primary not possessing all the qualifications of an elector, as required under the general election laws of this state. That is, before person can vote he must either have paid a poll tax at the time for collect ing taxes next preceding such election or have attained the age of 2l years since the time of as- sessing taxes next preceding the election.
 "Of course, in addition to pos sessing these qualifications, per- son must possess such other qual- ifcations as are required by the rules of the party holding the election."

SAYS RATS MEAN BALDNESS
Boston Physician Declares That Womer
 Should Never Wear Them.

Boston.-Dr. c. J. White is out with the statement that women should never wear rats unless they wish to lay themselves open to badness.
 If some sort of hair dressing must be used to conform with modern styles, he advocates the usage of wire puffs, because they admit the air. II know of noth- ing more ridiculous than an old face with young looking hair, y he said, in talking about hair dyes, which be says in some cases are an actual danger to life.
 Another custom which ought to be stopped, Dr. White says, is that of going around during the summer without head covering. They tell you the Indians did thls. The Indians scalps were much different from ours. A woman's hair after a summer of exposure loses its color and luster in fact. it is in a condition of fever"

 We digest turkey easily" he said because the flesh resembles our own A turkey eats grain, meat, fish, pretty much everything tasty; we do the same, and. hence. human flesh and turkey flesh are good deal alike.
 "Fish digest fish best. Carnivorous animals, If fed on the flesh of carniv ores, keep in the best condition. When a snake goes off it's feed the trainer soon brings it round with a meal u two of snake meat
 These and similar facts have been proved strikingly by Emil Fischer, the Berlin chemist. The most digestihll and the most economical food. Fiseh CTS experiments show, is that which is more like the feeder The most iu digestible, costly and least nourishing food is that which is most unlike the feeder.
