An Appeal From England

Americas longest casualty list is
from her babies, some 5000 OF
whom die every year. The first cool
days of fall have put new life into
the efforts of thousands Of commun-
tiles which are trying to follow up
their weighing and measuring tests
By permanent work in the shape of
baby clinics, public health nurses,
recreation centers, and the like.
These tests are proving to be but
the first step in the Children s Year
campaign which was started by the
Children's Bureau of the u. S. De-
partment of Labor with the object of
saving the lives of 100000 small
children who die needlessly in this
country every year. So far, rather
more than $500, 900 children have
been weighed and measured. This
means that, estimating roughly, some
$4,000, 900 parents must have been
reached and interested in doing
something to make all the youngsters
better babies; there is, in addition,
to be considered the large number OF
aunts and uncles, and grandparents
who have at least vicarious interest
in Children Year.
The fruits of this interest are seen
in the "follow-up' work which is
being done by these relatives and
their friends. Public health nurses
are being employed in communities
which did not know the meaning of
the term 8 months ago. Keep Well
health centers and baby clinics are
resulting from the weighing and
measuring tests-it has not seemed
fair to let the children who were
well get sick, or those who were all
ing remain sol Two states, Mime
sofa and Florida have established
Child Welfare divisions in their state
Boards of Health.
The United States is not alone in
recognizing the Importance of war
time child welfare work. England
by greatly increased effort reduced
her infant death rate below the peace
level. Paris, when the milk supply
of the poor babies was threatened,
established a municipal herd that the
children need not suffer.
A resolution voicing Great Britain S
appreciation of the work for children
already done by her allies, and ask
ing for it's continuation and increase
was recently received by the Child
ren's Bureau through the Depart
ment of State and the British
Embassy. The National League for
Health, Maternity and Child We'll
fare assembled in conference, resolved
That this conference expresses its
appreciation of the work already I'M
dertaken, and calls on all Govern
ments now allied against tyranny and
militarism to join forces in cam
paign for fhe health and fitness of
the mothers and infants who are the
heirs, and who will be the trustees
of freedom.
1t is expected that this appeal from
England will have great influence
in making permanent the unusual
efforts OF Children's Year to see that
babies are well born, well cared for,
and, in short, get that square deal"
which is an important plank in the
platform of Children's Year.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH
 SERVICE

Arrangements are now fully made for conducting divine services every Sunday at Saint Johns Church. At five o'clock each Sunday afternoon, except on the Third Sunday of each month, a vesper service will be conducted at the Church by Rev. Luther Moore, of Flag staff. Since this hour does not conflict with that of any other public gathering on Sunday, it is hoped that great many will avail themselves of the oppor- tunity to attend these five o'clock services regularly.
 Next Sunday, Dec. 8th., Rev. MT. Moore will preach at the Vesper Service on the subject of The Church's Share in the Worlds Reconstruction. Spec ial music will be rendered by members of the choir.
 On the Third Sunday of each month, Rev. Harold s. Brewster of St. Paul's Church, Winslow, will administer the Holy Com munion < at 8 o'clock in the morning.
 During the war it was stat ed that as casuaIIy lists length ened and privations increased, men would turn to God and our churches would be crowded i: shall we be too ungrateful tc go to church now that the war is victoriously ended? Please feel welcome to make St Johns your church home.

MARION FIX
 SEVERELY INJURED

Marion Fix, one of the, oldest residents of this community saved his own life with a dis play of nerve and hardihood not to be found except among our old pioneers. While riding alone down in the Cataract country, he suffered a broken leg which might we'll have proved his undoing. He had lassoed a calf for the purpose of branding it, when his horse fell on him and broke his leg. The horse got loose and refused to be caught by the wounded man. MT. Fix, knowing that his only hope lay in catching the horse, followed it for two miles crawling on his three sound limbs, and finally SIC ceeded. Mounting the horse was no easy matter, but he ac- complished it and then rode some eight miles to a ranch shack.
 The door of the shack was secured with a pad lock. Find ing heavy pole, MT. Fix broke in the door and built a fire in the stove. He then proceeded to set his own leg, which he did so we'll that when he was found later, and brought to town, Dr. Rounseville found no need of resetting the limb.
 MT. Fix is now at the O.. K. lodging house under the care of Mrs. Adams, and is recover ing as rapidly as could be ex- pected.

WORK IS PROGRESSING
 ON THE WILLIAMS DAM

Work is progressing slowly and under a severe handicap laid down by the weather. at the city dam. It is the intention of the Town Council to partly fill the big cut made in the dam last March. The remainder of the cut will be filled in during the next two years. In this way the new earth will become thor oly knit to the old during each stage of the operation of filling in, and this will eliminate the danger of the water working way between the new and the old parts of the dam.
 An adequate spillway will be built to provide against flood water.
 The work is being engineer ed by city engineer Baumann, aided by Street Supervisor Mil Ter.

HARRINGTON PLANNING = FOR BONE DRY COUNTY

Jack Harrington, the newly elected county sheriff, was is Williams Thursday, looking the town over and endeavoring to determine what local man could be best depended upon to en- force the state laws-and par ticularly the dry law-without fear or favor. He has made no appointment yet but has this Co say, 'I want a man for my dep uty who will make a good pc lice officer and who will, above all, go into the work of enforc- ing the prohibitory law with his heart sn the work. I want z: man who will make the town bone dry, and if the man I ap- point fails to carry out my wisR in this particular, I shall cer- tainly request his resignation If I can't get a deputy to do the work here, I will come to Vii Hams and do it myself.
 That's exactly the kind Of talk that the people of the coun=- ty want to hear from the sheriff and he can depend upon the earnest support of the substan- tial citizens of the county.

LOCAL OFFICERS TAKE
 s2,00O W0RTHB BOOZE

Town marshal Burns and Constable McDougal, today Friday, made the biggest haur of bootleg whiskey yet recorded in the county.
 Marshal Burns had a tip sev-~ eral days ago, that two boot leggers were expected to return soon from Needles in Maxwell ear heavily loaded with booze He had been on the watch foE- characters that would answer the description and for the car Today a man came in on foot from the west to get repairs for a maxwell car that had broken down just this side of Ed Hunt er's place. Bobby's suspicious were reused. He got his car and called upon Constable Me Dougal to go with him.
 The two officers ran onto the man who had come in for re pairs, just this side of the cem- etary. They asked the man where he was going and he told them that he was going out to the broken car, some miles out He was glad to accept a prof ferd ride, and directed the two officers to the car.
 The Maxwell had been left izf charge of the second bootlegger and when the officers with the 1 first of the 2 offenders reached the broken down car, Bobby suddenly pulled his gun on them and lined them up at the side of the road while Scotty searched the car. Fully two thousand dollars worth of boot leg whiskey was found stored there.
 The officers took charge of the booze and brought it along with the two men along into town. The men were lodged nF- tiail and the booze safely stored The officers then returned for tthe car.
 The two prisoners are Spar iards and are thought to be two of the men who have been do ing such whole sale business iIR Flagstaff with apparently noa interference from the sheriff office. This is conceded to be the biggest haul yet made in, the county.

W,f,|A. HOLDS
 INSTRUCTIVE SESSION

The Williams Farmers I'm provement Association met in the Town hall last Saturday af- ternoon with a good attendance of energetic and enthusiastic farmers. The first in order on the program was the election of officers. MT. V. H. Melick was chosen president, w. F. Thom- asson, vice president; L. w. Cureton, sec-treasurer,; and L. w. Cureton, H. c. Sanders, and H. D. Boulin, the sales-buying committee.
 It was agreed that all mem bers who have seeds of any kind to sell should report the same to the secretary, together with the prices asked for them. At the same time all seeds that are to be purchased thru the Association should be called for. These lists should be in as soon as possible so quotations may be secured from different houses on them. Members are requested not to over draw their purses in ordering seeds. On a previous occasion a num- Der of members requested quo- tations on large amounts and made no order at all. This hand icapped those who did order. It was necessary to inquire for prices on smaller amounts. This took time that caused number of farmers to get their crops in late. with results we'll known to all. If you want seeds we will help you get them, but if you don't, please don't handicap the rest with bogus orders.
 It was suggested that we try to get into the County Farm Loan Association. All mem- bers who desire loans should notify the secretary as soon as they can. Anyone outside the Association who desires a loan may notify the secretary also and will have his case acted up- on provided he is voted into the Association at the next meeting. If sufficient number of mem bers request loans, proceedings will be started at once to secure them.
 The matter of our member ship in the Coconino County Farm Improvement Association was taken up. It is intended that the two organizations CO., operate to greater degree than heretofore. This will be done mostly thru the secretar- ies.
