Corn is Really King at Last.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, O., it is stated
that the drought of this year is re-

wheat. Corn has for years been creep

surprised if we live to see the time
when it will sell at high as wheat. The
following extract gives more interest
ing facts about corn:

A Cheering Prospect

With this our second issue of the News, we feel nightly encouraged. Everyone seems glad to do what they can to help fill the paper with local news and to assist in turning all the business to the News that should go to it A number of new subscriptions have already been turned in at the office, and both job printing and advertising are on the increase. All of this is very encour- aging.
 We have been accorded none but the most courteous treatment and we have endeavreI to return in kind.
 A number of our new friends have been so kind as to come to the office to extend to us welcome to their city, and have expressed hope that we will be content to remain here and become fixtures, and that is our intention.
 Withall this is certainly very en- couraging to us, and we will state to all our we'll wishers, that we are well pleased with the prospect and hope to settle down with >our fam- flies here, and become permanent and active citizens of Williams.
 It is our hope that we will make full return for the friendly welcome extended to us.

Catching Up

The News hopes it's readers will excuse the crowding out of news matter this week. When we took hold of the office things were in bad shape and work far behind. With so much advertising supple ment should have been added. but we are leaving it out in order that we may catch up with our work and get an even start on next week.
 A number of good articles have been contributed that we do not have room for this week. We val ue them and will publish them next week.

Encourage the Boys

Williams has a basket ball team to be proud of. The classy play ing. they put up against Flagstaff shows that they have the making of a strong contestant for the state championship. Patriotic citizens ought to get behind the team and assist them to develop their full strength Basket ball is a mighty good sport to encourage, and be- sides, a winning team is a fine ad- vertisement for town.

The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, in the consideration of its future develop ment, recognizes that its highest interests as public utility lie in establishing the closest and most friendly relationship with the pub lie generally, and with its patrons in particular; therefore it is the purpose of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Com. pany, through this announcement, to inaugurate what may be termed an advertising educational series of aiticles, both in the newspapers and in the form of letters to its GUS toners. Itis our hope that this car paign may mark. a new era in the relation of public utility cor porations to the pu.,lic they serve. We want this education to work both ways-that the public may learn the truth about us, and that we may learn how the public re- gards us, and how we may fairly and efficiently serve the publ lic- in other words, what is just and right to us and to the people, and to convince the public that we will voluntarily remedy any wrongs we are doing, if pointed out to us.
 We shall show you our financial affairs, frankly and freely. It so happens that our financing has been of such a nature that it is easy for us to clearly show to you this side of our affairs. What we mean by thls is, that we have absolutely no water in our stock; we have no bonds, nor any preferred otock, and no mortgage of any kind upon which to pay fixed charges. We have more invested in our plant at its present replacement value than our issue of common stock and We have no other stock issued than the common stock. There ale no wheels within wheels, nor com panies within companies, to absorb profits. We finance ourselves from year to year by selling OUT common stock to the people, at not less than par, in the states in which we op- crate.
 When we tell you the story of our financing, we will prove to you that there never have been any for tunes, large or small, made out of the manipulation of our stock-in other words, no high financing has ever been done in connection with The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, or it's prdeces- ors. The stock never has had any speculative value; it has been and is now simply safe investment.
 There is great misunderstood ing upon the part of the public as to this side of our business. Per sons with ulterior. motives, striving for office, and newsI apers wishing to give startling news (see note be- low) frequently publish stories of how rich certain officials of our company, are. Right now, this is being done in connection with the new revenue lax. we SUI pose these stories grow out of the belief of certain of the public that the executive officials of our company own the entire plant It is absurd, for the executive officials of our company ale merely trustees
 of the property, for the stockholders, and none of them are rich men, nor have they a very heavy holding of the stock. It is true that certain reputed rich men have large holdings of the stock of our company-s some of them being on our Board of Directors-but not one of them has made any money whatsoever out of dealing in our =s1-.
