AT the present writing the Boomers
look like an unbeatable ball club.
Ray Schmandt is going to burn up
the league if he keeps swatting at his

with the Boomers he has collected
seven hits in 10 times at bat.

of them resulted in a score.

ARIZONA CH|LDRENS HOME

Among the recent visitors to Williams, was Mrs. Cora Ebert of Tucson. She came to ask as- sistance for the chiIdrens home of Tucson, and to form a branch society of the National Childrens Home Association.
 The chiIdrens Home at Tucson is affiliated with the National Childrens Home Association, it has the approval and support of Governor Hunt.
 It was founded several years ago by Mrs. Ebert. Friends helped her to rent a cottage for the first Childrens Home. As the inmates increased a larger home with a nice lawn was rent ed. A building site has been donated and funds are now need ed to build a good home.
 Over three thousand dollars are yearly sent from Arizona, to- wards the support of the Cali fornia Childrens Home. They are needed. Cannot some Ari- zona dollars be given toward the support of Arizona homeless children in an Arizona Home?
 The only salaries paid are small ones to the matron and one maid. There thirty-three children in the home, at present. Those who are old enough attend the public school.
 Here is a home for every Ari- zona child that needs one. Here is a child for every Arizona home that needs one. Its merry prat- tie, song and laughter will re- pay you now. Its loving appre- citation, in future years. When every city and town in Arizona is becoming interested in this home, Williams cannot afford to miss this opportunity. Who will be the first to subscribe to the building fund or to joir the Williams branch society Dues are one dollar yearly.
 The soul that gives is the soul that lives. | and bearing anothers load, |. | Doth tighten your own and shorten the way and brighten the homeward road. @ Mrs. A. Sine

RUM POWERS JOLTED,
 4 NEW STATES DRY

The liquor traffic was hit pretty hard jolt Nov. '. Four states, Michigan, Nebraska, South Dakota and Montana adopted a dry amend ment on that date. Majorities are not-available at the present time but they were heavy in some in stances and enough in all. Missouri and California also voted on a pro- hibition amendment but the prop osition lost by a large majority, some 125,OOO in Missouri and 4O- GOO in California. Nearly half of the states now have prohibition. If the movement to destroy the liquor traffic continues at the rate it has been going of late the next ten years will leave very few states with saloons and a national pro- hibition amendment will be a certainty.

THE LAST GRIZZLY
 OF THE SYCAMORE

Williams last week and he was persuaded to come in to the News office and while there he was in- duced to tell the story of the killing of the last grizzly of the Sycamore. Johnson has been ''big game" hunter all his life and has hunted in the Rockies from Arizona to Alaska. He thinks he has killed fully 1000 deer and he has killed great many bears and lions and other big game of the noun tains. For the last twenty years and more, Johnson has hunted and trapped off and on in the wilds of the Sycamore. He says big game is getting so scarce that there is no longer profit in the hunt. Like other big game hunters, Theodore Roosevelt excepted, Johnson is re- luctant to tell of his thrilling ad- ventures with the ferocious ani- mals of the wild and it required considerable tact to get the story, told below. Johnson claims resi- dence in Coconino County and vot- ed in the election in precinct No. 1. am drinking man Johnson said, and have drunk barrels of liquor, but don't want the boys to drink and I came in to vote for the pro- hibition amendment so that the sstuff" may be kept out of their Way.
 Frank Johnson is small man, probably it. 6 inches and weigh ing 13O pounds. Size does not count particularly when hunter faces grizzly and is so close that each can smell the others breath. Un- der such circumstances, and they have been numerous with Frank Johnson, there must be steady aim and the target must be the eye. Fortunately for Johnson his nerve has been steady and his aim true and the eye of his brute antagonist has been pierced and instant death has followed. To shoot a grizzly anywhere else would mean death to the hunter.
 But to the story. Bear" John- son is so interesting character that it is hard to drop him and take up his modestly told yarn.
 The Story
 I had known for twenty years that the old grizzly lived some where in the Canyon and tho had seen her ''sign" frequently, 1 had never caught sight of her. I have |. no doubt that she had seen me of- ten. You see, even gr1zzly does uOl CdIc IO cuOOuutCl c hldl duo II human can be avoided easily the bear will go out of his way to keep from meeting a man. But, if the grizzly is surprised or crowded by |! a man he will charge without 8 moments delay.
 I kept look out for the old bear thinking that some day should see her. How did I know it was she? Well, an old bear hunter can tell that if he sees ''sign" often enough, and I knew that the sign I saw was that of she bear.
 Nearly two years ago the old bear killed one yearling after ap- other on the range that includes the Sycamore basin. l thot 1 would try trapping her but she would dis cover my traps near carcass and she would not eat more of it but would kill another yearling. I got pretty mad about it and deter mined to hunt the old bear in earn est. I thot I knew the side canyon where sine lived and 1 picked up her trail and started after her. 1 had little Airdale which took along to help me keep the trail The trail led up the very canyon l had picked and I worked my way

The Art Of WRITING.

Writing began with the rude pic
ture writing on bone and rock and
passed slowly by a natural and in
evitable transition from the literal
representations of the objects to
the symbolic suggestion of idea, to a
word alphabet and then to pure
sound signs. The whole process is
manifest from the very infancy of
Egyptian picture writing, as crude as
that with which the savage peoples
still record their deeds. From these
crude signs the process went on in
its slow Transformation to the pho
netic writing typified in the Rosetta
stone to the Phoenician, Greek and
Roman notifications which brought
us to the arbitrary sound symbols
which the voice combines into ar
ticulate speech.

Roosevelt, Root and Burke

Everywhere over this state Con-
gresham c H. Burke Is being COM
mended for a desire and effort to
re- unite the republicans Of South
Dakota. Knowing Mr. Burke. as
most old residents do. they believe
he is sincere. and is not acting for
any selfish advancement. He is a
square and earnest public man.
This opinion is general, regardless
of faction. 1T is admirable political
ly and personally.
Now why not assume the same
position and sentiment with regard
to Colonel Roosevelt and Elihu Root
in the national field of politics?
This paper does not believe that
Colonel Roosevelt or MI Root desire
to be candidates themselves, and
this belief is based upon their de-
finite acts and speech. 1t believes
that they are trying to unite the
party nationally, acting as they
think it is necessary to bring this
about at Chicago, and that when the
time comes both will be found
shoulder to shoulder working ia
make Justice Hughes the party
nominee, because Re IS the most
available man at this time.
