THE GIANT

You have had a lot of woe Kaiser Bill; and a lot more you will know, Kaiser Bill; for the giant of the West straps his harness on his breast, and will knock you from your nest, Kali ser Bill. Patient was the giant long, Kaiser Bill, bearing injury and wrong, Kaiser Bill, hoping that a ray of sense would per wade your cranium dense, that you'd let up your offense, Kai- ser Bill. But you tramped the giants toes, Kaiser Bill, and you tweaked the giants nose, Kali ser Bill; now you see the giant rise, with the war light in his eyes, and he'll soak your Prus- sian guys, Kaiser Bill. You're exhausted by the strain, Kaiser Bill; full of Wearlness and pain Kaiser Bill; you are going stony broke, and your folks will bear the yoke of taxation till they croak, Kaiser Bill. You have strained your last resource, Kaiser Bill, in your work that's rudd and coarse, Kaiser Bill i; dotards who are bent and gray, children from their schoolyard play, you are dragging to the fray, Kaiser Bill. But the giant of the West, Kaiser, Bill, has an ample treasure chest, Kaiser Bill; tortured by no bloody thirst, by no war lord visions curst, he will chop you into wurst, Kaiser Bill.-Walt Ma son.

It is estimated that there will be from two to three times as large an acreage put to crops about Flagstaff this year as has been planted there in any pre- ceding year. There will be far less than the usual acreage planted about Williams this year unless some means is used to supply the farmers with a great deal more seed than is in sight at present. However in dications are that the necessary effort is to be made and that the seed will be supplied.

It is to be hoped that Con- gress will delegate to the Presi- dent or to some other compe- tent authority, the power to regulate food prices. If the Department of Agriculture but kept careful account of produc- ton and consumption, a great deal nigh be done to regulate prices simply by keeping the market open to products from all over the country, and by preventing the hoarding of pro- ducts by food spectators. But whatever method may be adop- ted to accomplish this end, the people should be saved from the robbery of food pirates.

It is of great importance in

It is of great importance in the present national crisis, when the United States and her allies are threatened with a ser ious food shortage that every available acre of ground should be planted to crops. Yet, un- less steps are taken immediate ly to help the farmers about Williams to secure seed, a small Ter instead of a larger acreage will be in cultivation this year in these districts than was sown last year. Hugh Campbell will be in Williams Friday May II, to confer with the farmers in order to find out their needs and to aid them in getting the needed seed. All concerned should make it a point to see MT. Campbell and to help him learn the needs of this section.

A CLEANER TOWN

Williams is a cleaner town after the efforts of the cl ean-up workers, the first of the week. An enormous amount of rub bish has been removed, altho the work is not yet completed. However, there is part of the work of cleaning up that the in dividual citizens must do them selves. They must clean up their own yards, hire surplus dirt or ashes moved away, and also see that all out buildings are made entirely sanitary, Now is the time when this work should be done, before the fly pest gets started.

reading of this permit offers a certain degree of protection to the public, for in it the Commis- sion generally sets out in detail not only the plans of the com pany, but a list of the property it owns and it's other tangible assets. From this the prospec- tive purchaser can very often get a better idea of the things behind a company than he could by listening to a stock salesman.
 In one or two instances the attention of the Commission has been called to the fact that stock salesmen have made the statement that their company or its stockselling proposition had the endorsement of the Corporation Commission. This is untrue in every instance. The permit issued by the Commis- sion is permissive only and in no case does it constitute an endorsement of the merits of the proposition submitted. It merely means that theplan of operation appears equitable on it's face. This is so stated on the permit.
 The Arizona "blue sky" law is a good one and has been of considerable value to the in- vesting public in recent years. Its value in the future can be greatly enhanced if the invest ors would but.realize that their greatest protection lies in its strict enforcement.

USE CAUTION WHEN
 BUYING MINING STOCK

Taking advantage of the lib erality of the press, the Arizona Corporation Commission is now sending broadcast over the State a warning to the people not to be imposed upon by stock salesmen, and calling the atten- tion of residents of the state to the fact that their greatest pro- lection from men with fake promotion schemes lies in the public assisting the Commission in upholding the "blue sky" law.
 If every person who is ap- preached by a stock salesman would take the proper precau- tions, wild cat and fake promo tion schemes would be wiped out of Arizona in six months time. The Corporation Com mission stands ready to see that the law is enforced in every re- spect, but the assistance and CO., operation of the public is an es- sential requirement.
 In the first place every in vestment company, whether domestic or foreign, that offers it's securities in the form of stocks or bonds for sale to the public must secure a permit so to do from the Corporation Commission. Precedent to the issuance of such a permit the Commission conducts an inves- tigation into the affairs of the company and if the Commission is convinced that the plan of operation is fair and equitable, a stock selling permit is issued. Companies offering their secur- ities to the public without such permit are doing so in violation of the law.
 The Commission orders ev- cry company granted a permit, to supply each stock salesman with a copy of the permit with instructions to submit the per init to every person who is ask ed to purchase stock. If a sales man approaches you and offers to sell you stock in any con- pany and does not give you a copy of the Commissions stock selling permit he is violating the provisions of the permit and should be immediately re- ported to the Commission.

As nature takes on gay colors in woodland and pasture during these autumn days, Sd fashion adopts bright hues for garments and wraps and mill linery.
 Warm looking, cheerful tints are dis played in fall apparel, and no shade IS too vivid to meet approval. As a matter of course, women of taste will exercise discrimination in choosing from these gay tints; but selected with judgment, and a view as to what ments and ,sheadwear offered for fall prove very fascinating and a delight to the eye.
 At the same time, all soft shades. designs on the pastel order, are high
 These bright hues figure in the ma Jority of the fall hats, as though not cnly. copying but actually rivaling the striking .tints in nature yesterday was of purple velvet, with pompon. band and wings in which gold was conspicuous, following the- much liked fashion for metallic ornamental ton. The shape was on the sailor order.
 The rich tint called burgundy, in velvet. was developed In a high tur- four smart ostrich quills forming the whole crown.
 A charming design in purple panne, its shape after the Gainsborough idea, na0 a g1lL SL1tCned crown, ana was richly trimmed with variegated dah lias.
 Attractive was a Chin Chin tam of brown velvet crown, with underbrim of tan satin and trimming of brown velvet and Egyptian ornament in soft tints.
 Another Chin Chin sailor was of black velvet, had ostrich edge. but in contrast to the black crown was Wilson red satin facing, and the fin ishing big velvet bow was also faced with the Wilson red. ..
 Stunning was a large hat in blue panne, its trimming of smart flowers in combined blue and magenta and a fancy feather, of both tints.

HEALTH IN NORTH
 sToMNGToN WAS GOOD
Few Cases of Contagious Diseases De
 ;vsloped During Past Year.

The annual report of Thurman P. Maine. M. D., health oflcer of the tow nof North stonington. shows the health of the town to have been good during the past year. Health Officer Matne's report is as follows:
 The past year has been uneventfu1. Very few cases of the serious conta- gtous diseases have developed. Two cases of scarlet fever, both in one fam fly. occurred in October. Fortunately, there were no secondary cases. The proper f1mtgAtion was carried out and those who had been exposed to the disease wore isolated until the danger was past.
 Grip and pneumonia were unusually prevalent in the eastern part of the town during January. Two cases of tuberculosis were reported during the year. We escaped the epidemic of smallpox that infested Connecticut during the winter. It led. however, to . considerable increase in the mum ber of vaccinations. Several cases of German measles occurred in May and June. No nuieances were reported during the year. The school buildings have been inspected as required by law and found satisfactory.

MISSING MAN FOUND
 ASLEEP IN BED
Charles Rogers Has Been Across the
 Atlantic to France.

Charles Rogers, who has been miss ing from New London for about five weeks. was found by his mother in his bedroom at 24 Ocean avenue Wednes- day morning. MT. Rogers was peace fully slumbering with apparently no cares.
 When awakened and questioned he said that he had taken a trip to Hali- fax, and from there he had gone to Liverpool. and from Liverpool had gone to Brest, France. On his re- turn trip he had landed at New York SO he thought he would run up to New London and pay the folks visit.
 He tried several times when in New London to enter the service of the gov- ernment but was rejected. This would not satisfy him, so he decided he would work his way across. going as assist an steward on board an ocean liner. This of course was not in his line but it was the only apparent way to get the trip.
 He says that he left New York at midnight and arriving in New London about a. m. he thought he would not awake the folks until later in the morning.
