BE LENlENT WITH EDITOR
 BREEN, PLEASE

The readers of the News will recall an article which appeared in the News, Jan. 7th. headed, How the County Printing Was Landed. 7"
 Last week MT. Breen quoted the article referred to above, in the Sun and then added. the fol- lowing lines of comment.
 We are glad that the rumor that the new machinery had been installed on a promise of the county printing has been so stren- uously denied"
 MT. Breen asked us to be leni- ent with him at the time he moved his plant. We were at that time and let us again be lenient with him. Mir. Breen is a perfect gentleman but he is also human, like the rest of us. Put yourself in his place and you can understand how he feels. Suppose you had fed at the pub lie crib for so long that you had come to the conclusion that you had life lease on it, only to awake one day to find it gone. How would you feel about it?
 You would say some ugly things, very likely, that you would not like to have held against you. We would like to say word for both boards of supervisors, however. Both have been composed of excellent men who have held an exalted opin- ion of the trust put upon them by the people. We are thor oughly satisfied that any rumor to the effect that either board has ever made any prediction pledges such as the law prohibits, is entirely groundless. Any ru- nor to the effect that either board promised anything in re- gard to the county printing, is not only groundless, but alto gether absurd. The old board which had the letting of the con- tract, was going out of office and could not have had anything to gain by any snch pledge, had they been of the kind to make such a pledge, which they were not. The new board, not having the letting of the contract, had nothing to pledge.
 Let us be lenient, with MT. Breen.

The Powers-Drachman bill now before the legislature is measure which our law makers will dc well to enact into law. This bill has already passed the second reading and will soon be under discussion if it is not already so. If enacted into law it will disarm every enemy of the amendment except the liquor forces them selves. It will allow to druggists everything that legitimate drug gists ought to have. He will be permitted to handle preparation that does not come under the definition of a beverage liquor. Churches will be permitted to use wine in their communion services, and scientific and edu- cational institutions will be per- mitted to- use pure grain alcahol for experimental purposes.
 Any movement now to have a resubmission on the prohibition question of any sort will come from the liquor element itself whether acting, under the cloak f other business or not.

Miss The Snow Flow

These days when the walks are covered with snow the greater part of the time, one misses the snow blow which could be seen out after each snow last winter, clear ing the walks. Since the resigna- tion of MT. Reneke, we have had no street commissioner and the blow has bsen idle. We need not submit to icy walks however, just because we do not have a street commissioners at present. In many towns, the citizens get out after each snow and clear their walks. A number do so in Williams. Why not all? Just few minutes work following each snow on the part of the different residents would keep our walks clean.

Joseph Angermuller, Aged 40, Disappears After Pay Day-Has Not Been Seen Since

Joseph -Angermuller who has sbeea working at the round house flor several months, disappeared suddenly last Wednesday night. He had received his check from the railroad that day. His check was oashed at the bank, probably fby himself, the day before his dis appearance. The local police are -on the case but as yet no promising -.clne has been found.
 Mir. Angemuller was patching Ain . little house in the east side of flown. Dhe following day after his disappearance, the house was found just .as fhe he mad been called out .in the night and made away with
 Bedding, pots and pans all were left, and all showed signs of recent use. The deor was left ajar.

 The,man has been sought by the Santa Fe to fud why he failed to return to his work. He still has .six days pay coming to him.
 There are a number of young men who seem to have nothing to do but loaf about town, spending their nights between the east end some of the new soft drink parlors and restaasants, who are being closely watched by the officers. Some are inclined to think that come of these could tell something of what has become of the old man.

y and of the Town of Williams
WORTHY OF SUPPORT

Last Tuesday night the second of a series of motion picture repro. ductions of leading modern plays was given ct the Sultana theatre 1.-The Lure" was the play given. The production was excellent thru. out. It shows that really worth while dramas may be effectively produced on the motion picture screen in spite of the handicap ol r'silent actors."
 In town the size of Williams, where the production of really high class plays at the necessarily high charges is impractical, such photo plays as those being given in this series are gratifying substitute. By this means it is possible for those people of a small town who desire to see the best on the stage, to see these in a form that while not equal to the original produc- tions, are certainly we'll worthy of the patronage of the public.
 MT. Sweetwood of the Sultapa, certainly deserves the commenda- tion of the people for offering this series of high class plays. If the general public will but prove by their patronage that these are the kinds of plays that they want pro- duced, it is a foregone conclusion that MT. Sweetwood will continue them.
 The News desires always to stand ready to commend and support any and every good thing that comes to town, and we certainly give our hearty endorsement to the proluc- tion of such plays as "The> Lure'' and "The Dollar Mark"

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?

If you read this article through thoughtfully you will, and if you are young you will think twice.
 Did you ever stop to think that you do four things, just four and no more? You think; you re- member; you imagine; you act. When you learn to think better, remember better, imagine better or act better, you are increasing your efficiency, and, therefore, your income. You may feel that you are very successful now.
 Suppose you are; it isn't a ques- tion of what you know, but of how beneficial a practical business education will be to you in addi- tion to what you already know.
 You will agree with us that to violate part of the laws of busi- ness means partial failure, and to violate all the laws means com plete failure. You are also aware that to observe part of the laws of business means partial success, and to observe all the laws means complete success. Our aim is to help you observe a higher per cent of the laws of success, and, there fore, enable you to be near CT the maximum success. The late Prof. James of Harvard declares that the average man only uses ten per cent of his brain power. Suppose. you are twice as capable as the average man? Even that would mean you are only twenty per cent of your maximum possibilities.
 The purpose of our course is to produce a maximum of proficien- cy with a minimum effort. Did you ever stop to think that eighty five per cent of the men of this country are only earning $15 a week or less? That ninety-two per cent fail in business between the ages of 40 and 50? That ninety-five per cent have no money at the age of 60? We have been very successful in get ting men out of the eighty-five, the ninety-two and the ninety five per cent class.
 Why not let us help you? We have been marvelously success full in raising salaries, as is con- clusively proven by the letters in our catalog from former students. The business world wants think CTS and doers. There's a famine of high priced men today; there are thousands of men worth a thousand dollars year, but only a few worth ten thousand a year. Be the latter kind of a man; you can if you will. We know that man is worth only about $2.OO a day from the chin down, selling muscle, but as high as hundred thousand dollars a year from the chin up, selling brains. Be a chin upper and sell the higher type of brains; you can't afford to be a chin downer; there's no room for such a man in the high salaried class.
 Take our thorough, practical courses of Bookkeeping, Short hand, Business Administration 6 Finance and Telegraphy, learn how to think, to remember, to imagine and act.
 Our large catalog is free for the asking, if you will only fill in and mail the following blank.
