OATS SURE CROP WHEN FARMERS UNDERSTAND
 THEIR PLANTING
w. J. Parker Convinced of Great Agricultural
 Value of Land

w. J. Parker, one of the intelli- gent farmers who constitute the splendid colony located about seven miles slightly southeast of Williams, was visitor to The News office Saturday last. Parker farms with his head as well as his hands. He has been in the country number of years and probably no man is bette- acquainted with the possibil- ities in an agricultural way.
 Coats are a surf crop if one only knows how to handle the planting, said Parker earnestly. ''The seed should be disked in just as soon as the ground is ready for handling in the spring. Then the seeds should be plowed under. If plenty of rain comes the crop will come on just the same. If it proves dry year, the blowing under so conserves the moisture as to make a crop certain.
 Ut is the best potato and cab bage country I ever saw. If crop is not so good one year because of dryness, I say to myself it merely gives me more time to prepare for a heavy crop the next year. l have raised crops of potatoes rivaling in quantity and quality anything ever grown in the United States.
 ssThen when one takes the climate into consideration, this becomes one of the most favored regions in the United States. I never enjoyed a finer all the year round climate anywhere. True we have so-,-e snow in the winter, but it don't last long, and the beautiful sunny winter days far. .outnumber the snowy ones. The country is alright. I know it for have lived in it and farmed it long enough to prove it. Every acre available for farming will be gone within the next two years, I verify believe'' ;
 Parker is firm believer in the underground water supply of the Williams section and now is nego tiating with the Powers Drilling Machinery company, of Clarendo Iowa, for an outfit which will easily drill one thousand feet for the arte sian supply underneath.

WHEN IS A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL; AND HOW DID THE
 TWO GET MIXED UP
Being the Strange Story of The Disappearance of the
 City Chemical Legs

When is a wheel WI hin wheel? is the question which ha. been wor- rying lot of the good taxpayers of William, the past week. Bobby Burns says the on v nan who can answer the question is the proprie- tor of the peanut stand at the cor ner of Bill Williams avenue and Third street. The proprietor says City, Marshal Patterson can answer the question, and Dad Ragan, the street superintendent, echoes ditto.
 Anyhow the proprietor of the pea nut stand says he bought the wheels from Babb tt-Polson in Flagstaff. Babbitt Poison say nit, and Bobby Burns says emphatically the wheels belong to the chemical engine of the Williams Fire Department. They recently have been painted red, but the decorative golden stripes around the hub are in evidence, and under heath the red may be traced the white stripes which formerly dis tinguished the circular appendages of the chemical engine.
 But in all seriousness, someone gave the peanut vender lease on the wheels Members of the coun- cil plead mot guilty" The ven der says Marshal Patterson gave him permission, but declares the wheels on his wagon are not the engine wheels but importations from Flag

A young author and critic. who has

modern phase of education, went few
days ago to deliver his first lecture at
q girls school, He had lectured before,
but never at young ladies' semi
nary, and as two white frocked. curly

form and he sat down beside the ma
tronly principal among the women who
made up the faculty and faced sea Of
girls faces he was young enough to
feel bit of embarrassment himself.
It was rather difficult at first, but once
the lecture was started things went all
right.
He finished what he had to say and
sat down. The audience and the ma
tronly principal and the women who
made up the faculty clapped their
hands enthusiastically Then the ap.
plause died down and silence settled
upon the lecture hall. The young man
sat on waiting for some one to say
something. dimly conscious that a
move Of one kind or another was ex-
pected of him. But his lecture was
finished He had said all he had to
say. There were no questions from
faculty or students. A few of the girls
began to fdget. but no one spoke.
The young man became unpleasantly
aware that he was expected to do
something and to do it at once. but he
did not know what to do He reflected
miserably that he did not know the
etiquette of girls school anyhow.
And then there was signal from the
