Steady Growth

Last week Friday the editor of the News secured a number of or ders for job printing, four new sub- scribers to the News, and a regular correspondent, from Ash Fork. IL is probable that large number Of other new subscribers will be added from this neighboring town as soon their town items become an estab- lished fact.
 An average of over two new sub- scribers have been added to our sub list each week since the present management took charge Not one regular subscriber has been lost.
 Steady growth of this sort is what counts and it will not be the fault of the News force if this growth does not continue until the W illiams News becomes the lead ing newspaper in Northern Arizona

Drag the Roads

The roads about and the streets within Williams have been sadly in need of the use of road drag during the late wet weather. Altho the dry weather is now rapidly lending solidity to the road beds, the roads are still rough and rutty and unnecessarily so. The use of road drag following each rain just as soon as the earth had drled suf- ficiently to pack would have pre- vented the roads getting rough.
 The drag would have kept the grade of the road beds and have smoothed the earth after each rain so that the water from succeeding rains would not stand in the roads, as it did do. Ouce put a road in good shape and the timely use of a drag will keep it so for long per iod.
 Why does not the city of Will Hams use a drag on it's streets?
 The natural earth of many of the streets is not of the best but if once graded up and then kept in shape with drag even these streets could be kept in good conditinn. The only streets that came near becom- ing impossible during the recent wet weather were those where the gutter seemed to be down the mid dle of the street instead of down the sides.
 A little grading followed by con- sistent use of the drag would put an end to this condition. Drag the roads.

Cinders for 6 Mile Hill

While the editor was in AshFork last Friday, he talked with num- Der of people running automobiles there who have been accustomed to run up to Williams to attend en- tertainments and dances here. They complained of the condition of the Williams Ash Fork road. They had been cheated out of sev- eral of the good things being offer ed here just because of the condi- ton of the road lately-especially the eight mile hill. Only last week D. E. Parker attempted to run up to Williams and got along very we'll until he reached this hill. lie with the others expressed the hope that coat of cinders might De put on this road soon.
 It means a good deal to Williams have this road kept in good con- lition. We understand that work being done on this road now al-
 ho we do not know on just what part. It is to be hoped that the tight mile hill will be properly re plired and that hereafter this road will be easily passable for autoists.

 POET LAUREATE" :"
(Reprinted from Los Angeles
 EXan,iner)

Some time ago the Examiner printed an article from a MT. Mac Veagh of Long Beach in which he bitterly denounced the "female of the species.' His agitation was due to the amazing records of the divorce courts published in the Examiner the previous day. Now appears Miss Millie Fergus on of Williams, Arizona, who trains lyrical Maxim on the peevish Mir. MacVeagh.
 The Examiner" does not wish to prolong this painful controversy between the sexes, but it arises to remark that Williams, Arizona ought to be proud of it's poet laur- cate.
 In reading the news in the "Exam-

Tho Spell of Christmas.

Once more, we are under the spell of Christmas. We cannot be sour or irritable or pessimistic, do our utmost. We have been subjected to shower bath of gladness; kind thoughts are circulating with fullness and vigor through all the avenues of the mind; we are elated, even jubilant, ready for laughter and tears, sympathetic with the children in their glee, tender toward the poor and forlorn, strange ly accessible to life's best memories, reverent toward religious faith, and almost willing to go to church. All this may seem to our pagan mind as foolish as a revival of religion, some thing inconsistent with proper eco homie austerity, senseless revel of humanity at the expense of the moods, habits, and rules of solid busi- ness. Nevertheless, here we are, pounded into submission and sympa- thy, overcome for a few hours or days by the tides of an ideal existence George A. Gordon, in Atlantic Monthly.
