Uruguay may be small but she's wise and hon
est. Her ships haven't been sunk. So far as dis
covered German diplomats haven't accepted her
hospitality and then sought to undermine her in
terests at home and abroad. She is victim OF
none of the habitual villainies of the German au-
tocracy.
She enters the war in order to align herself
with the cause of liberty and justice. She is a
shining eaxmpe for all other civilized nations
not yet SO aligned
Slowly but surely all peoples Of the earth hav-
ing any conception of human welfare are coming
forward to help put down "the mad dog of
Europe" Honor to little Uruguay, who takes

Soldiers Need Books

There can be two honest opinions, each with
good arguments in its favor, about "Sending
Smokes to the Sammies."
@ Even the beloved and necessary cakes and
candy can give stomach-ache if Overdone.
But there cant be two opinions about the value
Of books to the soldiers; and the more good liter
AZURE the men absorb the better off they will be.
Why then, is the war library fund having such
struggle?
Hunger of the mind is worse than hunger Of
the body. The right book has been known to give
stimulus or peace when cigar has failed.
And if you don't believe the library fund
is needed, go out to the Camp Lewis Y. NJ G. A.
and take look at the covers Of the magazines.
The war library fund ought not to have to come
with its hat in its hand, begging in vain Books
are as necessary as cake and tobacco and socks.
The German high command is now cautioping the

AN WE RS |
BY CYNTHIA GREY

Dear Miss Grey: Would it
be possible for a family of
three to pay all expenses and
have fairly good clothes on $19
a week? Their rent Is $40 q
month and they are about to
contract to pay 80 a week for
their furniture. / would like
your advice.
DOUBTING THOMAS.
A.-This would be possible with
good management and good
health, but q margain must al.
ways be left for possible Illness
And II 1t Is possible this family
should procure furniture in some
other way than by payments ex.
tending over too long period
The expense for clothes varies
greatly even i'm families of three
for some mothers are able h
make many Of the required gar
ments themselves, while others
are not. All these things must
be reckoned In arranging a family
budget.
Dear Miss Grey: I wish also
to say regarding the religious
sects that forbid their members
to participate In war, that In
addition to the Quakers the
Bible students. and the Church
of the Brethren or Dunkards az

decided stand against war.
During the Civil war many
members OF the Church OF the
Brethren were put to death
because they would not take up
arms against their fellow men,

Dear Miss Grey: Can you
suggest some refreshme suit

A.--Pumpkin pie, coffee, two or
three kinds Of sandwiches, cut In
odd shapes and tied with yellow
and black ribbons, Or wrapped In
yellow paper and sealed with black
paper cats, pumpkin heads or
witches. To this menu you may
add salted nuts and fruits II you
wish.
Dear Miss Grey: / am in love
with a girl and would Hike to
marry her. But four years
ago she married man who
was married before. but had no
divorce from his former wife.
Do you think she will have to
get a divorce before we can be
legally married? She has been
parted from him for three years
and hasn't seen him since.

The Usual Result

The result of the first actual conflict between America and German troops in France was the instant increase in the num- Der of recruits received by the regular army. 1902 men had entered the regular service within twenty-four hours after news of the conflict reached America. This is the usual re- suit of actual conflict. It takes the actual shedding of Ameri- can blood on the field of battle to fire the blood of American masses to fighting heat. Fur ther conflict is sure to further swell the ranks of the recruits. Henceforth the problem for the American nation will be that of equipment rather than that of securing enlistments.

A Coming Problem

After the problems of water and light are effectively solved for the town of Williams, the problem of providing an ade- quate sewer system must fol- low. Many lots in the town of Williams, otherwise desirable, remain vacant for want of pro- per sewer facilities. The indiv- idual cess pool cannot solve this problem adequately. A muni- cipal sewer system would prove a solution of the auction. The problem will be to work out a plan that will provide the nec- essary sewer system, while re- lieving those who have provid- ed private systems at consider able expense, of the necessity of sharing the burden. This can be done and the best inter ests of the town requires that it should be done as soon as practicable.

FROM PACIFIC COAST
 WAR WORK COUNCIL

The women of the war zones in this country and abroad are adding appeal for further aid. The War Work Council of the Y. w. c. A., which has under taken the responsibility, is establishing hostess houses, emergency housing, and the many departments essential at this crisis, to the welfare and safety of women.
 The cooperation of the War Work Council was earnestly solicited by the War Depart ment Commission on Training Camp activities and by the gen. eral secretary of the Y. w. G. A., and since the women have entered upon the work of aid- ing their sisters in the war zone much praise and gratitude has been expressed for the effort.

Judge Hylan's Plurality Esti-
 mated at 12O,OOO

The election of Judge Hylan, the democratic candidate for the office of Mayor of NewY ork is one of the most sweeping vic tories won in that city by any candidate for many years. Not only was the candidate for mayor elected, but practically the entire democratic ticket went in. While the issues were largely along other than party lines, the overwhelming victory is an indication of the growing strength of democracy in the metropolis of America.

New Mexico in Dry Column

New Mexico is the latest re- cruit to the ranks of the "drys, '' prohibition having carried there in Tuesdays election by a majority of nearly 10000, ac- cording to early returns. This adds two more dry votes in the senate in the future, and one in Congress. The significant fact about prohibition during the past decade, has been that once a state goes dry it remains dry. With state after state joining the ranks of the drys, the inev- itable result will be national prohibition, whether it takes four or ten years.
Williams news., 1917-11-08

In view of the pressing needs of the women, the National Board has launched a campaign for raising $4,OOO,OOO for work along these lines. Hostess houses, where women may meet relatives and friends in the army under normal condi- tions, will require $9OO,OOO dis bursement. Emergency hous- ing for women and girls in new industries~will require S5OO,- 900. $1,OOO,O00 is required for work in other countries, whence come continuous de- mands for Y. w. c. A. trained workers. Foreign community work, Junior War Work Coun- cil, Recreation Center for girls, all in demand, will require large expenditures.
 Of the National budget of $4,OOO,OOO the Pacific Coast Field has pedged itself to raise $35O,O0O. The Campaign, which will begin December 3rd and close December 18th, is in charge of Mrs. Gaillard Stoney, of San Francisco, Chairman of the Executive Committee, War Work Council, Y. w. c. A., Mrs. John F. Merrill, and Mrs. Lawrence Draper, San Francis co; Mrs. Wallace Alexander, Piedmont; Mrs. R. P. Mddux, Palo Alto; Mrs. Seeley Mudd, Los Angeles; Mrs. A. E.

Woman Suffrage in New York

The startling news of the re- cent elections held in various states is the victory of woman suffrage in New York. With New York in the column of pro- gressive suffrage states, what may we not expect of the near future in the manner of radical changes in the country. Nat ional woman suffrage and pro- hibition are among the reforms which this victory forecasts for the near future.

A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

The overwhelming victory
 for the bond issue, Tuesday, is
 strong vote of confidence in
 the Town administration. The
 result was more than five to one
 for the bonds. A more nearly
 unanimous victory could hardly
 have been won on any issue
 that might have come before
 the town. While the result IS
 a great victory for the principle of municipal ownership of pub lie municipal utilities, it is a yet stronger endorsement of the efficient work that has been done by the present council. Some who were a little skepti- cal of the desira bility of munl- cipal ownership, on general principals, favored it in this case because of their confidence in the present council.
 A failure of the bonds while freeing the council of the big task of providing water and light thru a municipal plant, would have constituted severe reprimand to the council. The victory of the bonds pays them a high tribute, and incidently places a huge task before them. which will necesitate their ex- pending a great deal of time and effort for the public good, withoutmonetary remuneration but not without it's reward The members of the council | willfeel we'll repaid for devoing their best energies for the fur thering of the common good, now that they have the assur- ance that their efforts are ap- preciated and that the people are back of them in their eff forts to improve the town.
 Good lights with all possible speed, and an assurance of | good water during the summer as we'll as in winter, is the task put up to the Council, and from the energetic manner in which | they are attacking the problem. the people of Williams may I rest assured that they will have both in as brief a time as may be possible without sacrificing good business dealing to speed. i,

THE ETIQUETTE of the FLAG

of the Flag" for the instruction
 of all good red-blooded Ameri
 cans who ARE FOR the United
 States at all times, in peace O
 in war. It is hoped that tn
 observance of these little cour
 tesies and honors, even at thu
 expense of some slight conspic
 uousness, will so educate thu
 people of Arizona that all per sons who do not observe then
 will soon find that they are th' ones who are conspicuous.
 Flags fly from stationary poles. In military posts ano commands beautiful cere mony, called Retreat, takes place at sundoWn every day o1 the year, during which the flag is lowered to the music of the Star Spangled Banner. While being lowered and during the music ALL persons are expect ed to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand In the position of salute. Ii in civilian clothes with the hat on. the hat is removed during the ceremony and placed over the left breast. No other salutes are rendered to flags.
 Colors are national or regl- mental flags carried by troops or other organizations. They are saluted at all times when ever they pass within thirty paces of an individual or an or ganization the individual standing at attention facing the color as it approaches, coming to the salute with the right hand and remaining in that po- sition until it has passed. If in civilian clothes with hat on it should be removed and placed over the left breast as the flag approaches and held there un- til it has passed.
 '"The Star Spangled Banner has been officially adopted as the national anthem of the United States. All other patri- otic pieces have their place in stirring patriotic sentiment of the people, but no honors are accorded them. Whenever the Star Spangled Banner is play ed, at ANY place, all persons within the immediate vicinity should stand at attention fac ing the music, coming to the sa- lute with the right hand and re- taining it in that position until the last note has been complet- ed. If in civilian clothes with hat on, it should be removed and placed over the left breast during the music.
 In all cases while standing at the attention, silence and immo- bility should be preserved. Lad ies would not be expected to re- move their head dress, but should stand at attention and preserve silence, as do the men. While holding the hat over the left breast, no attempt should be made to salute. In render ing the salute with the right hand, raise the hand smartly till the top of the forefinger touches the lower part of the head dress or forehead above the right eye, forearm inclined at about 45 degrees, hand and wrist straight.
 The National Anthem should be played through without re- petition of any part not requir- ed to make it complete. It should NEVER be played as part of medley.
