1t is an exceedingly interesting
study for housekeeper to note the
differences in marketing in o city and
in village, both as they are today
and as they were a few years ago,
for changes have been taking place
rapidly everywhere.
In city now, for instance, instead
of being dependent on the seasons
for ones vegetables, fruit and game,
practically anything can be had at
any time. Where once asparagus
came in May and June, it now appears
in February and stays till July. Straw
berries come in January, indeed, one
can find them all the year round in
the best fruit shops.
The village woman, however, has
to go on very largely in the old ways.
Her butcher and grocer are still more
or less dependent on the farmers who
bring supplies to them, and vegetables
and fruits still come to her about as
nature originally planned them.
VILLAGE PLAN CHEAPER.
RAaS peas III
September and her cucumbers disap
pear after the first frost. In winter
fresh vegetables are unknown and she
must use timed ones till spring comes
around again. But her compensation
lies in the proud consciousness of heI
economy. Even though her table
may be a generous one, it costs heI
little to live compared with her sis
ter in the city.
Yet the price of foods has gone ur
alarmingly everywhere. In ten years
meats, butter, eggs, poultry, fruits and
even vegetables have risen a third in
value and in some cases half. So
while things cost more in town thar
| in the country, all women alike have
to study prices today as never before
City meats seem to show the mos
astonishing change. Beefsteak, fol
instance, instead of costing Is cents
pound, is now from 25 to % cents
roast beef, % cents; lamb and yea
quite as much, while poultry is Otter
% cents before it is dressed and a
holiday time may be any price.
In the village meats are distinct.

love with a man Of forty-five years.
He Is nice looking and wealthy. He

will only marry him. What do you
think best for me to do? FIeas- -u.

l think, my dear little girl. that YOU
had better wait at least four years
before you consider marriage with
anyone. No matter how nice this
man seems to you row, you will hate
him with all your heart when you are
a woman, if you marry him now. Keep
yourself good and free TO fal. in love
with the right man when he comes
around. I'd hate to tell you what
think Of the man who wants to marry
you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
man q years of age and have been
keeping company with a young lady
one year my senior for about fifteen
month. She is non-Catholic and abb
solutely refused to come my way, al
though she says she loves me. We
parted about two months ago and I'm
very lonesome. How can forget her?

Your heart and home" problems
are simply grand
LONESOME Will.
Do you think you love her a great

way about her religion? If you two
! cannot agree to disagree on religious
matters it is better that you parted
But if you can only realize that We
are all Gods children, and that we are
all going TO his kingdom, though we
travel different roads. you will grant
each one the right to believe as he
thinks best, even if he doesn't thor
oughly agree with your belief
Go TO the girl and tell her this Iii
you can do it sincerely, ask her Il
lake you back and if she loves you sht
will.

IT WILL SURELY BE
 A BIG CELEBRATION

THE NEWS expected to publish the Fourth of July program this week, but the best laid plans of newspapers, like those of men and mice, ''gang aft aglee." However, it will appear next week.
 A meeting of the committee of arrangements was held Wednesday evening, but owing to the absence of some members, it was decided to adjourn until next Monday evening. The Sultana theater will be the meeting place, and it is urged that every member of each committee be present.
 Anticipating the program, TnE NEWS can assure its readers that the three days celebration in Will jams this year will be the most pre- tentious ever attempted. Advices have already been received that the attendance from points along the Santa Fe, both east and west, as we'll as from the more remote sec tions, will be large. A big delegation from Phoenix, travelling by auto mobile to the Grand Canyon, will reach here on July 9th to partake of the barbecue that will be served in the most appetizing style of the culinary art. Former celebrations have always been successful, and this year Williams promises to more than make good.
 The three days sports will be pleasing alike to men, women and children. Everything that goes to make up a. real, first class, genuine Fourth of July blow out will be in- cluded in the program. There will be races and games for young and old, barbecue, broncho busting, ball game each day with some of the crack teams of Arizona, pyro. technic displays, and terpsichorean revelries, including the bunny hug, turkey trot, tango, or any other old way one prefers to indulge in the may waltzes of the dance.
 THE NEWS wishes to impress on the minds of each individual mem- Der of the several committees that his presence at the Sultana theater next Monday evening is not only earnestly requested but urgently in sisted upon.

skinned nine ways from the deuce
 Tuesday last band of about 30 of these extremely undesirable citi- zens took it's departure from Ash Fork, by the east-bound evening train, at the earnest request of citi- zens of the junction city. Between that point and Williams female member of the nomadic aggregation persuaded a Mexican passenger to have his fortune told. The Mexi- ican, complying, drew forth his pocketbook, extracting from it 10 cents, in silver, with which he crossed the gypsy's palm. The woman, muttering some incanta tions, requested her subject to close his eyes. While under the hyp notic influence of the sibyl, another member of the gypsy band snatched tbe Mexican's pocketbook, which contained the sum of $6O.
 Deputy Sheriff Patten met the train on it's arrival here. It was plain that the robbery had taken place, but the Mexican was unable to identify the person who had filched hls purse, and so the band of gypsies was perforce permitted to go on it's way rejoicing.

WILLIAMS WINS IN
 HARD FOUGHT GAME

Judge Holub and his white hosed athletes added another game to their string of victories last Sunday. Je- rome came up with large aggrega- tion of ball players and enthusiastic fans, and tasted defeat for the first time this season. It was an inter- esting game from start to finish and aside from the second inning when the local team was affected with ''stage fright the game was real "big league" performance.
 Kettle, the Jerome twirler, had lots of smoke and plenty of speed and for time it looked as though the locals were due for a shutout. Williams was game, however, and came back strong toward the finish and pulled the game out of the fire. Another slabster was uncovered in the ssIndian'' who twirled an excel lent game for the locals. Spillar's s work behind the bat was again in evidence and his hits came at op- perfume moments. Yellow Jacket again displayed a variety by playing first base as it has never been played before, and his catches of difficult throws resembled an alligator feast ling on flies. It is reported that Bowman took his first lessons play ing first base when boy watching the alligators on the bayous in Lou isiana and Texas taking their noon meal. Joe Thomas at second and Captain Kline at third proved a stone wall, and the Jerome sluggers could not penetrate the infeld de- fense. Ramon as usual starred at short and batted in mid season form.
 The score was Williams 9, Jer- ome s.
 The attendance was the largest of the season and with the brand of ball the boys are playing should prove an average crowd for the re- mainder of the season.
 Prescott, considered the strongest team in northern Arizona, will cross
 bats with Williams on Sunday, and should prove the hardest tussle of the season. The boys, however, feel confident of winning.
 A baseball dance will be given to- night for the benefit of the club and 6 cordial invitation is extended to all local fans to turn out for the evening. A good time is assured.
