The biggest thing in the news of the last week is the passage Of the House bill providing for the, expenditure of $64O,O0O. 900 for an army of 2O,O00 air planes and over one hundred thousand men to fly them.
 Uncle Sam should. make full use of the wealth and indus tries of the United States in winning the war with Germany while conserving the lives of cur soldiers. One hundred thousand men in the air can do more than one million on the land. By matching man against man in the field Germany can force us to a loss of life so Ire mendous that it will be felt afterward, but in matching ma chine for machine and dollar for dollar, we can win with the advantage overwhelmingly on our side. Another pleasant fea- ture of an army in the air, too, is that no draft will be needed to secure the necessary number of men. Already thousands are waiting to be admitted into this branch of our service.

Lest We Forget

The sun rises above Williams as it did before the United States entered into the great war, the rains fall, the crops and the grass grow as usual, business continues, and each citizen of Williams, save a few who have boys in the ranks, may go his way scarcely know ing that a great war exists. And yet a great war does exist and one that threatens all of the privileges and pleasures that we now enjoy. It is only be- cause some mothers brave sons have offered their lives as sacrifice for their country, that we continue our work in peace. Then let us not forget what we owe to these boys at the front and to the mothers and fathers who have given them to their country. The Red Cross offers each and all an opportunity to express his or her gratitude. Are we doing all that we can? Red Cross week has passed, but the need is still here, and will be while the war lasts. It should not be necessary to solicit support for this organization. Funds should be continually pouring in to the chapters ev- cry where. More funds can be used to good advantage by the local chapter and will be grate- fully received by those who are giving their time to carry on the work in Williams.

The young men in this coun- try who have been called by draft are mighty fine lot. In fact that is true of all of the A. merican army. In health and strengh, both moral and physi- cal, the American soldier ranks among the very highest. if not indeed, at the very point of the pinacle. That is one of the big reasons why we can expect to win, but it is also the big reason why we should do everything possible to conserve the life of these men. No money should be spared in giving them the very best of equipment and no funds should be lacking in providing them with every aid and com fort that the Red Cross can of fer.

The work the street force is doing on the streets of Williams under the direction of Commis- sioneE Kirkpatrick, is of the right sort. Already we have bet ter streets than our neighbors with the one-exception of few
 blocks of pavement in one sis ter town, and our streets are being continually improved. The cement crossings that are now being put in will dispense permanently with the continual breakage and repair of the old wooden culverts. The drainage still needs to be improved in a number of places, but the pre- sent rate of progress will reach all of these within the next year or two.

Washington, July 22, 1917-' The Red Cross War Council of which Henry P. Davidson is chairman, announces the dis patch of a Red Cross Commits sion to Roumania.

 "For these Commissions abroad, the Red Cross War.Council has been unusually fortunate in ob- taining the services of some of the leading health and sanitary authorities in the country, said MT. Davidson in announc- ing the appointment. "1t is one of the finest tributes to the patriotism of the men who have been called upon to undertake these missions in distant coun- tries, that they have responded without hesitation. No finer record will be written in this war than of these men who havesgone forth under the Red Cross to carry aid and encour- agment to those countries which for three years have been feeling the heavy brunt of the war.

WILLIAMS AMATEUR LINE;
 MEN DO THE TRICK

The initiative spirit and en- terprise which are always pres .ent in Postal employees was again demonstrated by the Will Hams, Arizona repeater station staff, April IT to 20 inclusive.
 During the night of April 16 one of the fercest snowstorms ever seen in Arizona carried down all overhead wires be- tween Williams and Flagstaff in many places. On the morn ing of the 17th the storm con- tinued furiously. No linemen were available in Williams, C.. E. Dunlap, the station lineman being out on repairs east of Flagstaff.
 Manager Kirkpatrick wired Dunlap via Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Albu- querque, and then not waiting for anything else, packed up all available twisted pair (wire) they could carry, with repeater chief Davenport took the first east, which was a freight.
 Five miles out of Williams the train stopped at a bad break and Kirkpatrick and Davenport piled off into two feet of snow, and a binding blizzard. At this point a'tree had blown across the lead wire and had carried down the wires for five spans.
 There was but one wire un- broken and this wire was car rled over to the side and fast ened to glass attached to trees. The twisted pair was run for five spans. The amateur line men found it impossible to cut any more wires so the poles were guyed and all wires cut except the three that had been made good. The men then called Williams, reported the damage done and expected to flag the next train east and go on to the next break. A fang CT came along but the storm was so thick that the engineer did not see the men trying to flag him. They then started to return to Williams. The snow was so thick and the storm so violent that it took them hours and 45 minutes to reach town.
 Repeat chiefs Lowe and Sine took the evening train for Flag staff where they worked for AS hours continuously, Kirkpat- rick and Davenport doing like wise in Williams.

Making the Ear Useful.

The ornamental possibilities of the ear were probably developed first, per haps in the way of hooks for catching back floral draperies. Then, most like ly. some one discovered that the car was convenient to hang a bunch of grapes on when interrupted in the midst of repast. Perhaps the next cave man began to use his ears for the purpose of slowing away few extra thOrns when he was on fish. ing trip. The development of the ears for both ornamental and utilitarian purposes was undoubtedly rapid. and modern man has merely continued the customs of his prehistoric ancestors, making the ear useful for holding pencil pen, pair of eyeglasses or an extra cigarette, while modern woln- an pcrpetuates the decorative customs by having her ears pierced and using them to suspend various metals and precious stones.

 The surface of North America pre-. sents three great physical features the great Pacific highlands, the central plains and the eastern highlands. The great Pacific highlands extend through the western part of North America, al- most from the arctic shores to the Isthmus of Panama, and are traversed by the Rocky mountains and other high mountain chains. The central plains, which descend gradually from the crests of the Rocky mountains, include the Mississippi, Missouri and the Great Lakes regions. The Atlantic highlands, In the eastern part, extending from the northern coast of Labrador, nearly to the Gulf of Mexico, include the low plateau of Labrador to the north and the Appalachian or Allegheny noun tains on the south, the principal sec tions of the latter bearing the names of the White mountains in New Hamp- shire, the Green mountains in Vermont, the Adirondacks in the state of New York, the Alleghenies in Pennsylvania. and the Black mountains in North Carolina. .N.s

orioln of Health prink,no.

Tho custom of drinking the health of the most popular man at the table has it's foundation in the ancient prac- tice originated by the Greeks and adopted by the Romans of drinking to the gods and the dead, observes an exchange. The Greeks and Romans later began the practice of drinking to ehch other, and from this arose the custom of toasting living men. But health drinking in it's modern form, originating in England in the royster' ing days of Charles II, begins with the custom of drinking to the ladies or to any woman who happened to be the reigning belle of the court. Many and various were the quaint customs asso ciated with the toasts of those days, For example, in certain companies of military officers etiquette demanded that the cup shoufd be passed from hand to hand. In many midnight gatherings of Alsatia, gallapts stabbed themselves in the arms In order tx drink with their blood the health of the woman on whom, their hearts wero set.

TII ifHf . Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named in honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- cial patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in South Carolina regiment and in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and tho flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump ing from ore of the embrasures, Jasper, mounted the colors, tied them to a staff and eld them in position under a hot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this a commission was offered him but he declined it through distrust of hhs qualifications. On an- other occasion he and another sergeant named Newtch attacked a British guard of ton men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty is named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and central square in Savannah help to perpetuate Jas. per's name. He was killed at Savannah uear the close of the war.

Ask Your Banker.

Everyone, should strive to have a
 bank account, especially every man and boy, be it ever so small. One loses nothing in the esteem of his employer
 and friends by being seen going into or coming out of bank. Neither does the individual lose my self-re- spect by being seen at bank counter. which is more than can be said of some places. There are plenty of good banks; pick out one and stick to it.: and when you are tempted to invest in some alluring get-rich-quick scheme, go to your banker and ask his advice. It will not cost you anything to do this. and may save you a loss you cannot afford. It may safely be assumed that If this course were pursued by all of us the money sunk in swindles, fake schemes and impossible enterprises would be reduced to point where 1t actually would not pay to make the at- tempt. Before investing, ask your banker.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Fashion Decrees Lavish Use of Fur

 For the simpler costumes of after noon wear satin in such shades as blue and taupe and grey, is favorite ma terial, and not infrequently just the collar and cuffs are used to give a touch of brightness. A charming gown is made with softly shaped skirt and the almost tight fitting bodice that makes a feature of the season, and with rolling collar and cuffs of white washable satin, the edges of which are finished with soutache braid applied over narrow design. A very beauti- ful gown of taupe colored satin is rem dered becoming and relieved of it's quiet tone by folds of pink Georgette that are arranged within the V-shaped neck, and so the story goes. Many of the collars and cuffs are of fine. sheer organdie, daintily embroidered by hand for embroidery makes a notable feature. It is used in fine, ~ dainty stitches on accessories of such sort and it is used in bold stitches with worsted and chenille upon gowns and upon hats. Silk embroidery seems to be largely reserved for evening and dinner costumes, but it is notable that wherever the embroidery is used it is with restraint, in somewhat less quantity than was the case last sea- con.

Only the sea herring can equal the oyster in cash value as a product of the sea. This is partly because they are so palatable and partly because they are so Inexpensive. A pint can usually be purchased for 20 cents on the coasts and nourishing stew for several persons can be made of pint of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean produces more oysters than are 60 be found in the oyster beds of all other countries, but oyster farming is a profitable industry in many lands.

novelty, but many of those shown are quite new. nevertheless. A very beautiful model is made of Royal a,rp!e velvet which. by the way, is the savIrite millinery shade, and the. trimming is wide band around the deep crown that is embroidered in chenille in flat. conventionalzed fruits in most fascinating way. In some instances the embroidery takes such as simple form as an outline edge worked in chain stitch, the inner DOT tion filled with a alarming of chenille. The alarming stitch is, indeed, a feature cf the Fall embroideries, and it is very pretty used to fill in the outline that are worked with chain stitch. Inci- dentally, it is simple, too. It is just one of those things that it took a genius to evolve but which can be copied with ease by any woman who is at all clever with the needle and has sense of color. Chenille is to be very lavishly employed both for enbroid- ering hats and in various forms of adornment. A very smart model for large hat is made with a shaped crown and a broad. slightly draping brim that just hints of the mushroom. The crown is of black velvet with a twist and tassel of chenille 1nishin, it, and the brim is of lace with DOT tion of the pattern outlined with chenille and with chenille edge
 The chenille and worsted enbroid- cries shown on the hats are exceedingly simple, flat conventionalized forms being the chosen ones. A smart model is made of duvetyn in mustard color. It has a rather wide brim and soft crown of the scout order and down about the brim shows these conven- tionalized flowers simply outlined with worsted thread in shade of dull red that is very beautiful against the mus tard background 4
