Vatican Real Help to Rome.

1t Is perhaps the Vatican that con-
stitutes the best and surest antiaerial
weapon. The pope lives within its
xall, and Austria, the most Catholic
monarchy, will send no bombs to Rome,
SAYS an exchange. As the capital of
Italy, Rome would perhaps not be
spared hut a stray bomb on the Nati-
can would trouble the consclcnces Of
the dual monarchy more than the
slaughter Of any number Of innocent
noncomhatants and create complica-
tons fer the imperial government
greater than they care to face. 1t Is
doubtful whether even Protestant Ger
many would care To affront the c,a-
science of n not inconsideruhle part OF
its population. There have been no
formal assurances given to that effect
if they exist they have not been
made publlc-yet there seems to be -
tacit understanding that because OF
the pone's presence Rome is to be re-
spected.
Thus, this city Of many vicissitudeS
though prayer and fasting are as mucI
out-of-date as a means of defense n
the "terror by night" that haunted th'
old monks of Subiaco, carries within
herself a purely spiritual defense more
powerful than any girdle of steel.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No foolishness! Lift your corns
and calluses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn, can harmleSsly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority
For little cost one can get small
bottle of freeZone at any drug store
which will positively rid ones feet OF
every corn or calluS without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even lrrl
tate the surrounding skin while ap
plying 1t or afterwards.
This announcement will Interest
many Of our readers. If your druggis
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from hi'
wholesale drug house.-adv.

THE RED GROSS NEEDS

Urgent Call from France Asks
 That American Red Cross Supply 2 Million and Half of These at Once-Home Knitting to Be Taught and
 Pushed at Once -

A cable appeal for the inn shipment of supplies to France reached the American Red Cross from Major Grayson M. P. Murphy today. Major Murphy, as the head of the Red Cross Commission in France, has been making su7- vey of conditions in the war zone and the districts which harbor refugees. The cable re- ceived today emphasizes the urgent need in Europe for vast amounts of hospital and knit ting supplies.
 Major Murphy cables:
 Begin shipping at once one and half million each knitted mufflers, sweaters. socks, and wristlets. These are desper- ately needed before the cold weather. In view of the short age of fuel, and other discom- forts they will be of incredible value in both military and civil ian work.
 'Last winter broke the rec ord for cold and misery among the people here. They mex pressibly dread lest the coming winter find us without supplies l to meet the situation. 1 urge you on behalf of our soldiers and those of our allies who vii suffer in the frozen trenches Thousands of Belgian anc l French refugees and repatri ates are being returned thrl Switzerland to France"

Wildcat Near Williams

A large wild cat is making it's home near Williams, i'll a can yon at IA mile post on the Grand Canyon road. The cat was met first by MT. O'Connel, section boss at Pitt, when he was out hunting cottontails Walking down the canyon, armed with a 22 caliber rifle, O'Connel was within 100 feet of the animal before he saw it. As it seemed unafraid of him he retreated leaving it undis~ turbed. A few days later be went out with a party of men from town. As the hunters en- tered the canyon the wild cat appeared on the other side of the canyon out of range for the shotguns carried by the party. When the other side of the can- yon was reached the cat had disappeared. It has been seen several times since by other parties and, it is presumed, may have made it's home in the canyon in some cave.

Returns to Home Town to Pass Few Days Vacation-Fondly Visits Old Scenes-I4eart Re mains True to Arizona

mans True to ArlZOna
 Years ago little light haired girl with big hazel eyes played about Williams, happiest when riding her old white horse, "Doggie". Little Juanita Hor- ton had many friends here and was missed by her many play mates when her parents moved to Los Angeles, about five years ago.
 Two years ago the newspap- CTS heralded the arrival of a new motion picture actress, Bessie Love-. Becoming fam ous over night, seemingly, this new star has gone far in her art and is now one of the favo- rites dearest to the hearts of the lovers of motion pictures.
 Until the first screen pictures of the new star were shown in Williams, few were the people here who knew that Bessie Love and Juanita Horton were the same person.
 Two years of strenuous labor under the eye of the camera produced more and more evi- dence of the ability of Bessie Love, but the strain finally told and she decided to take a short vacation. There was but one place in the world that she wished to visit, Williams, Ari- zona, the place which caused two years of homesickness and many tears when first the Hor- tons went to California.
 A week ago Bessie Love and her mother arrived in Williams so quietly that very few of hel friends heard that she was 1T town, before she left for a few days visit at the Grand Canyon While there, Kolb Brothers die not miss the opportunity to photograph two natural beau ties together and secured some interesting poses of Miss Love at different points on the rim of the Canyon.
