 Kelley Field, San Antonio, Texas, July 17th, 1918 MT. F. B. Wells,
 Editor Williams News
 Williams, Arizona.
 To the People of Williams and Vicinity Greeting:
 How quickly the changes in life appear. A little over a month ago, as pastor of the Methodist church at Williams, we were nicely and comfort ably situated in the Parsonage. Today we are serving the church, and Uncle Sam as Re iligious Secretary of the Y. M. c. A. Building No. 162, in Kelly Field No. 1, where we have the happy privilege of being the pastor and "big brother" to hundreds of "boys in khaki" who are preparing to go over Somewhere in France to wrest victory from the miserable Hun and his hordes.
 Kelly Field No. 1 and 2 cover an area of 25OO acres and re- present a government invest ment of 100000. It is one of Uncle Sam's great big train ing fields for air fiiers, and the airplanes are thick = in the air as autos are in Williams, when the Home Guards are on pa rade, or in Los Angeles, Cal, on Broadway, only you don't have to do any of the lodging for they are too high up.

ENTER NURSES RESERVE >
 25,OOO WOMEN NEEDED

Twenty-Five thousand volun- teers for the United States Stu dent Nurse Reserves will be en- rolled on July 29. How many will register from Williams?
 The war is creating an unpre- cedented demand for trained nurses. Every young woman who enrolls in the Reserve is re- leasing a nurse for service at the front.
 Age The call is for women between the ages of 19 and 35.
 Qualifications - Intelligence, good education, sound health. A college education is valu- able asset. and many hospitals will give credit for it. A speci- fic scientific equipment or pre- liminary nurses training will al- so receive credit. Some schools however, do not even require a full high school education.
 Enrollment-There are three ways in which a volunteer may enroll:
 l. As engaging to hold themselves in readiness until April 1, 1919, to accept assign ments to nurses training schools as fast as vacancies occur.
 2.-As desiring to become candidates for the Army Nur- sing school recently established by authority of the war depart- ment. with branch school in selected military hospitals.
 3.-As engaging to hold themselves in readiness until April 1. 1919. to accept assign ments to either civilian train ing school or the Army nursing school. Those who sn enroll will be called when the first need arises. The government hones that the. majority of the volunteers will enroll this way.
 There are 1579 nurses train ino schools in this country.

IC. w. HEISER FOR
 COUNTY SUPERVISOR

C. w. HelSer, of Flagstaff, , was in Williams Monday, tell ing. the democrats here that he is out for the democratic nomi- nation for county supervisor. MT. Heiser is a great "good- roads" enthusiast. in fact the main plank of his platform might be said to be. Good roads for the people living in the county, at a minimum of expense"
 MT. Heiser came to Arizona in '92, and hence has had ample time to learn the county and it's needs. He was engag- ed in the stock business for a number of years but, having sold his stock interests, he is not now tied to any business and for that reason would be able to give full time to the du- ties of supervisor.
 This is the first time that MT. Heiser has asked for a county office. The only public office which he has held formerly, is that of councilman of the city of Flagstaff. He filled this of fee so efficiently that he may be said to have been forced in- to a second term (which he is now serving) against his wish eS.
 MT. Heiser states that he has no favorites, and is not bound to any interest. If elected he will serve all alike, to the best of his ability.
