HOME GUARDS F|LLEDI
 WITH EARNEST ARDOR
Drilling Being Pushed and
 Guards Whipping Rapidly . Into Form-To Drill With
 Gun Soon

That the company of home guards is filled with an earnest desire to get in shape and be ready for emergencies, is shown by the fact that three full squads in addition to of ficers, turned out last Sunday morning at 7 o'clock, for the mornings drill. The weather was disagreeably cold and the wind blew miserably, but noth- ing daunted, the guards march ed to the old fair grounds for drill practice and put in an hour at good hard drill. The company turned out almost to a man again Tuesday night at the school gymnasium, and a number of new men joined the drilling. The company shows rapid improvement and the of- ficers are quite delighted with the spirit shown by the men.
 Squad and company forma- ton, in addition to the rudi- ments of right-face, left-face, about-face etc., are all that have yet been attempted, but these have been mastered with remarkable readiness. The of ficers hope to secure a supply of guns and to start the company on the manual of arms and drill with the guns, within the next few weeks.

SHERIFF ID LOS.
 0N TRAIL OF FORGER

Sheriff Dickinson left for Los Angeles, Wednesday night, in search of Harvey E. Bailey, wanted on a charge of Forgery. MT. Bailey was formerly en- ployed as a fireman at the liar vey House. He recently set out for Get-rich-quick and by way of the road known as forgery, and is apt to find that the road ends in the state prison. He passed a forged check at Bab- pitts for $27.5O and another for six dollars. Both were on the Citizens Trust and Saving Bank Los Angeles. On one he gave the name Rueben M. Chuch and on the other his own name. The Los Angeles bank reported that they have had no account with anyone of either name.
 MT. Bailey should have talk en counsel before attempting forgery in Sheriff Dickinson's county. With Billy" on his trail he stands a good chance of getting free board at Flag staff in the near future.

MEET TO ORGANIZE
 RED CROSS BRANCH

About thirty-fve Williams women responded to the call for a mass meeting at the school house last Saturday, for the purpose of organizing a branch Red Cross society.
 The meeting was called to order by Geo. Kimball, tempo rary secretary of the Loyalty League, in the absence of the president of the league. A very interesting discussion was had | for more than an hour. All present expressed their desire to become members of the or ganization, but it was found that it would be necessary to correspond with the national organization in order to learn the exact form of organization that would be required to affi- Hate with the national organ ization.
 A temporary organization was effected with Mrs. E. B. Perrin as manager and Mrs. R. c. Wente as secretary-treasur- CT. The secretary was instruct ed to correspond with the prop CT authorities in order to deter mine what action would be nec- essary in order to affiliate with the national organization. The women expressed themselves as being desirous to cooperate with the Loyalty League and to work under this organiza- tion as a sub organization or sub committee.
 Before adjournment, Mrs. Ben Sweetwood and Mrs. Clym- CT Jeffries were appointed as a visiting committee to call upon the women of the town who were unable to attend the meet ing, to appraise them of the ob- ject and work of the organiza- tion and to learn how many of them desire to affiliate them selves with the organization.
 Here is another proof that Williams does not wait on the larger cities to learn what to do to answer the country's call.

All northern Arizona has just been visited with a three days storm taking the form of rain at lower levels and snow on the mountains, that means hundreds of thousands in add ed wealth to stockmen and farmers. At Williams snow be- gan to fall Sunday night and continued almost without a. ,batement until Wednesday morning. During Monday the snow thawed nearly as fast as it fell, but during Monday night the thawing was somewhat checked and the snow accumu- lated rapidly. While the snow continued to thaw until Tues day night, the snow continued to accumulate rapidly, and by Wednesday morning it lay to a depth of from two to three feet on Q level. The sun came out Wednesday forenoon andshone clearly the remainder of that day and Thursday. No severe freezing occurred either during the storm or immediately fol- lowing, so that stock while largely deprived of forage dur ing the storm and for a short time afterward, did not suffer from cold.
 At lower levels, where only rain fell, grass is reported to have sprung up like magic. With the ground so thoroly drenched the growth of the grass is bound to continue for several weeks to come, even without additional moisture, so that good range will soon be plentiful.
 At Kingman and other points west the storm developed into a heavy downpour which boun- tifully replenished the supply of drinking water for stock. In some sections stock had begun to suffer severely for want of water.
 Farmers are delighted with the snow because it promises to leave the ground in a thoroly moist condition at the time for spring planting. This will mean the early sprouting of the seed, and almost insures a good yield of forage crops.
 The local weather station re- corded a waterfall of 5.3 inches which from reports coming in would seem to have been little if any larger than what fell at lower levels.

MASS MEETING CALLED
 FOR SATURDAY NIGHT
In school Auditorium at Seven O'clock-Before the Show

O'clock-Before the Show
 The Board of Trustees of the Williams School have called a mass meeting for Saturday night April 21 for the purpose of considering the purchase of the J. s. Amundsen residence for school purposes. The Board was asked to consider the pur- chase of this property for this purpose, at one of their recent meetings and turned the prop osition down. Since then mem- bers have been approached by many patrons of the school, who have expressed the opin- ion that the board made a mis- take in so doing. Accordingly the meeting for Saturday night has been called in order to give the patrons of the district an opportunity to express their views on the matter, and to en- able the Board to gauge the sentiment of the public on the question.
 It is imperative that more room shall be provided for the school in order to relieve the congestion in some of the rooms. This may be done by adding another wing to the present building, but that would materially reduce the playground which is already too small. The purchase of the Amundsen property would give the additional room and would also add materially to the play ground adding nearly a quarter of a block to the present grounds. Following this, ar engagements could be made to have the Catholic church nov ed on to other lots and that would clear the entire block for school purposes.
 It is further urged that the Amundsen property would make a proper and convenient place for the domestic science classes, with cupboards and cooking conveniences already provided.
 The purchase of this proper ty would not require the voting of bonds, as sufficient funds to make the purchase are already available. No change in the heating plant would be requir- ed if this property is purchased. The capacity of the present plant would have to be increas- ed to provide sufficient heat for another wing to the present building. This would entail a considerable expenditure. The claim is made that with very little remodeling, the Am undsen residence would furnish abundant room for all purposes the coming year. It is further quite certain that the building could not be duplicated for the price asked.
 All patrons are urged to be present at the mass meeting to hear arguments both for and against the purchase, and to express their opinion on the question.

President Wilson Is
Called Practical Dictator

Washington, Jan. 5.-With an ar
raignment of President Wilson's ad-
ministration and of what he called de-
cadence in American society and gov
ernment, Senator Works. of California,
who retires March A. began a valedic-
tory speech yesterday in the Senate.
He deplored a tendency toward CEN
tralized unchecked and unlimited"
power on the part of the President, de-
nounced profigacy of wealth, recon-
mended that the idle rich be compelled
by law to work. and urged formation
of new progressive political party
known as the Liberty Party"
Worse Than Monarchy
Senator Works declared usurpation
of power by the President had amount
ed practically to a dictatorship" Re-
ferring to executive measure on legis-
lation, he said:
IF this kind of executive coercion is
persisted in and submitted to by Con-
gress, then our government is no longer
government of the people. 1t is not
a democracy. 1t is not a republic. 1t
is despotism worse than any known
monarchy"

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
IN LOVE AFFAIRS

And neither parent is troubled by the
slightest suspicion that the girl or boy
scientious best to wreck, are the only
possible judges of what they want in a
husband or wife.
For there is no other such mystery
as the mystery of love. Science can
measure the distance to the sun and
determine the course of the stars, but
it cannot tell where ones fancy Will
fall. Philosophy has fomulated codes
of ethics and system of religion for man
to live by. and die by, but 1T has not
formulated any theory by, which he can
be happy and successful in love.
Experience has taught humanity
wisdom in everything except love. Be
fore that the sage and the fool, the
adept and the amateur. the debutante
and the Valetudinarian stand upon the
same platform.
Nobody is capable of judging of who
is anothers, affinity. or with whom he
by what tests we make selections our
selves. We only know that out of all
the world someone, who has not more
more intelligence that a million others
is the only possible one for us:
Marriage MOcEs Mt All the Rules and
PHILOSOPHERS of Civilized
Society
We are swayed in our choice by a
double current of mental and physical
attraction that draws us to some par
ticular one that sweeps us capriciously
and helplessly away from one man or
woman TO anOIHeT.
This is why marriages that are ap-
parently incongruous so often turn out
well. None of us would pick out dull
husband for brilliant woman; or a
simple and ignorant wife for a learned
man. or a gay little butterfly for a
preacher, or, a grave scientist for. so
ciety belle, but these people select each
other for mates against the protest of
their friends, and are happy ever after,
because each answers to the othef Tor
some need that no stranger could pos
sibly know.
In matters of the affection love is su-
preme, and a man or woman should
take counsel of nothing but his or her
own soul. Family and friends have no
right to dictate on the subject.
Because a girl does not fire q mans s
mothers fancy is no sign that he will
not love her forever and a day. Be
cause a man does not cause a girls
fathers heart to go pit-a-pat is no
token that he will not thrill her as long
as she lives.
The individual who is going to marry.
and who has to live with the party of
the other part, has the right of choice,
and this Is fact that families who in
termeddle in love affairs would do well
to remember.

VEGETABLE
CALOMEL
DENTISTS
FORMULA

Vegetable calomel, extract of the
root of the old-fashioned may-apple
plant, does not salivate. AS liver
stimulator, it's great. It's a per-
feet substitute for ordinary calo-
mel (mercury); in fact, it's better,
because its action is gentle instead
of severe and irritating = and it
leaves no mean, disagreeable after
effects. Physicians recognize this
and prescribe may-apple root (po-
dophyllin, tney call it) daily.
Combined with four other stand
ard, all-vegetable remedies, may
apple root may now be had at most

AlkaIi in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
If you want to keep your hair look
ing it's best Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkaIi. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
1t in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
q few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.

DON'T LET Wife
DIE OF LOCKJAW
Warn her against cutting corns
because they can be
lifted out.

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests, seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the ter
rible danger from infection, says a
Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers If you will get from any
drug store a quarter of an ounce of
drug called freezone. This is suf-
fcient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. You
simply apply a few drops directly
upon the tender, aching corn. The
soreness is relieved at once and soon
the entire corn, root and all, lifts out
without pain.
This is. a sticky substance which
dries in a moment. 1t just shrivels up
the corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. Cut this out and pin on your
yife's dresser.
