EXPLOIT WITH THE APPAM
Is SURPRISE IN ENGLAND

London. Eng, Feb. All English
newspapers devote great space to the
exploit of the German raider which
captured the Appam, sunk seven other
ships and then took the Appam across
the Atlantic to an American port.
'One of the most dramatic and re-
markable incidents Of the war" says
the Daily Telegraph.
Even in the realms Of fiction there
are few more surprising stories of the
sea- says the Daily Chronicle.
The incident raises a number of Gu
rious questions which will affect in
some measure the future conduct of the
war and may further complicate the
delicate international relations Of neu-
trails and belligerents." says the Times

into the hands Of the British, as would
seem inevitable If she left port, might

BABBITTS WELL PLEASED

Babbitts feel very well pleased with the outcome of the lectures and demonstrations in Home Economies and the Fall Fashion Show which MT. Spellmire put on last week in the Babbitt store. They are glad to have given the public a treat in the entertainment line and also to have provided instruction to the housewives of Williams in the scientific cooking of foods and in the economical use of food pro- ducts. Of course, being a busi- ness institution they hope too that they will have popularized their store and advertised their foods to the end that an increased volume of business will result. The success of MT. Spellmire's adventure into a new field of advertising encourages him to promise for Rabbits that other lecturers on home economics will be invited to lecture to audiences in the Babbitts store in Williams in the near future.
 Mrs. Evans of Los Angles and Mrs. Vaughn, both prominent demonstrators in Home Econom- ics, will probably be engaged by Mir. SpelJmire as soon as they can give him dates.

The Williams delegation to the democratic rally in Flagstaff last Monday night had a narrowing experience on their way home. Just after passing Maine a cloud burst came upon them and they found it difficult to proceed and dangerous to stop. The ground was covered by several inches to a foot or more of water Auto covers were put up with one exception and fairly goood shelter was secur- ed l.. $. Williams was unable to get the cover to his auto up and he and his party were tLoroly drenched- Dry gronnd was found in a short distance and the party soon reached their homes where dry clothing was substituted for wet.

W. H. ST|LW|ELL
 FUR J. $. SENATOR

In placing before the voters of Arizona his candidacy for the office of United States senator, subject to the indorsement of the repub- lican primaries, Judge w. H. Still well desires that they shall con- sider his qualifications for that exalted position as well as his ser vice to the state and its people. He has been in close touch with every important phrase of the life and growth of the commonwealth of Arizona from the earliest pioneer days to the present time. He urges that his services to the state and its people give him just claim to preferment at this time.
 Judge Stilwell has won preemi- hence at the bar not alone by his profound knowledge of the law but also by his championship of public interest in the courts. For nine !ong years he forght for the rights ot the ranchers in Salt River Val ley. The final decision of the Su- preme court of the United States in the case of Henry E. Slausser vs. the Salt River Valley Canal com pany in which Judge Stilwell for the plaintiff, established the princi- pie that tn e water did not belong inherently to the canal company, but to the lands for which it Was appropriated. This fundamental idea for which Judge Stilwell fought has made secure the irriga- tion systems of the nation.
 AS United States senator Judge Stilwell could be depended on to make just as strenuous fight for popular rights as he has made in his private practice. The senator ial toga would not fall upon a nov ice, but rather upon one who is al- ready a veteran in the work of pro- tecting puplic interest and securing public welfare.

4. R. MONTGOMERY
 WORKERS CANDIDATE
 FOR SUPERVISOR

In the list of candidates seeking the nomination for Supervisor for Coconino county there is a man to represent the stock man, the farm er, the merchant, the manufactor, the public utilities corporations man more or less fully identified with each of these interests. It is left to A. R. Montgomery, a wage worker, to represent the wage workers of Cocnnino county in an especial manner, understanding as he does their needs and particular interests in county government.
 While wage worker, depend iug on his daily toll for the means for the support of his family and the education of his children, it should not be thot for a moment that MT. Montgomery does not un- derstand as well as any other the problems of county government. He has lived in Williams eleven years and during that time he has gained a knowledge of conditions in his own county and none is more capable than he to aid in inn proving those conditions along every practical line.
 MT. Montgomery is good roads enthusiast and he can be depended on to favor the improvement of the roads of Coconino county as fast as available funds permit. He is very much in favor Of the enforce ment of the laws of Arizona and as Supervisor the authority of his office would be used to secure law enforcement in Coconino county.
 MT. Montgomery has worked for the Saginaw & Manistee Lum- Der Co. continuously for the past ten years and his savings from his daily wages have enabled him to acquire property interests in Will lians.
 Voters of Coconino will run no risk in voting for A. R. Montgom- cry. Their votes will be appreci- ated. Adv.
