 ABOUT THAT SEED

Anyone in need of seed pota- toes, oats or other farm seed, for this years planting, should confer with Sen. Campbell who is scheduled to be in Williams Friday, May II. MT. Campbell is member of the State Coun- cil of Defense and his visit to Williams is in the fulfllment of his duties as a member of that committee. He wishes to learn how much and what kind of seed is needed by the farmers in the districts about Williams, and will take necessary action at once to secure the needed seed for the farmers. It is of grave importance that every acre of tillable soil be planted.

BIC CROWD ID SEE
 RECRUITS LEAVE ON ]

Several hundred Williams people met No. ' Monday night to see the new recruits from Flagstaff and Williams on their way. There were twenty-three in the party from Flagstaff, and Enfred Johnson, from Williams joined the party here.
 All of the twenty-four re- cruits were for the Arizona 1st. They were quartered in a spec ial Pullman sleeper, enroute for Phoenix. From Phoenix they will go to Naco.
 The large turnout at the de- pot, to see the boys off, was largely due to the high esteem in which Enfred Johnson, the Williams recruit who joined the party is held. No cleaner and more upright young man, than Enfred Johnson is to be found in any community, and the people of Williams were anxious to give expression to the high regard in which he is held.
 But not only was the Will Hams recruit who joined the party Monday night, a fine young man, the entire company was of a fine, clean and upright type, that speaks we'll for Ari- zona. In fact, Arizona's con- tribution to the colors, taken as whole, represents a high type of manhood that cannot be ex- celled by any other state.

 Thanks to the keen spirit of patriotism rife among the mem- bers of the Flagstaff Elks lodge Northern Arizona is to have a stirring celebration on the third and 4th of July. The Elks are to be commended for this movement.

Ari- zona in general and Flagstaff in particular will be in an inten- sive patriotic mood.

WESTERN COCON|NO
 IN NEED OF FARM SEEDS
Potatoes and Oats Most in De- --mand-Eforts Being Mode
 to Secure Several Car Loads

The Western part of Coco nino county, including the farming districts of Garland Prairie, Pittman Valley, and Red Lake Valley, must receive a good supply of potatoes, oats and other farm grains for seed, at once, if full acreage is to be planted this season. Garland Prairie is, perhaps, most ser iously in need of seed for plant ing. It is estimated that not more than one third of the pos sible acreage there will be planted this season unless seed is secured very shortly. Pota- toes and Oats, in particular, are in great demand.
 As early as two weeks ago, the Williams Development As sociation sent message to Sen- Ashurst on this point. Last Friday the News received word from the Senator as follows: "I am today working on the De- partment to supply at an early date large quantity of seed potatoes for your community"
 The Santa Fe Railroad has also considered helping to sup i ply the farmers with seed.
 Just what action the Depart ments of War and Agriculture have taken in the matterof sup plying seed is not known, nor has definite word been received as to what action the Santa Fe will ultimately take. However seed potatoes, at least, are now promised from other sources Sen. Hugh Campbell will be in Williams, Friday, May II to lookinto this matter and to see that a car load of potatoes at least, is ordered. This car may be shipped to the Williams State Bank for dispensation.
 Rabbits have taken the mat ter up also and will order a car load of potatoes to be de livered to the farmers at cost Their announcement appears in another column.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
 DRAWS GOOO AUDIENCE

A large and appreciative audience greeted the pupils of Miss Frances Barbour, of the Primary grade when they pre- sented an interesting program at the school auditorium on last Friday night. From the Flag saluute on through the entire program, the numbers were we'll rendered and showed careful training. The story of Mother Goose was we'll acted and the little folks in their quaint costumes finished the play in pretty drill. The May pole dance was another attrac- tive feature of the evenings en- tertainment. All the special numbers were we'll rendered and the patriotic music by the school orchestra brought pro- longed applause. This was the first public appearance of many of the little folks and no doubt many of them could truthfully say "The first time 1 stepped upon the stage my heart went pit pat" but nevertheless they all did well. Miss Barbour has proven herself a very capable and enthusiastic teacher and the many patrons are glad to know we will have her with us an- other year. A neat sum was cleared which will be donated to the local Red Cross fund.
