Architects Drawing of Williams New Bank Building

comfort and convenience of the Banks patrons. The building will be one of. the most beauti- full buildings in the state for it's size and purpose. In fact the design has been sought after by banks in California contemplat- ing similar structures.
 The present capital stock of S1OO,OOO.00 will be increased on account of the Williams Bank to $15O,OOO.O0 Several years ago the Bank voluntarily amended it's Articles of Incor- poration, providing for the double liability of stockholders as required by National Banks. This affords additional protec- tion to the depositors of double the amount of capital stock.
 The Citizens Bank needs no introduction to the people of Northern Arizona as in the if- teen years of it's existence it has shown a rapid growth and de- velopment, building up resourc- es of a million dollars, and be- ing a large factor in the growth and development of the com munities where it has establish ed banks.

Agricultural Experts Coming

Delore Nichols, in commun- ication to the News states that he, in company with MT. E. B. Oxley, will visit Williams next week, to assist in gardening or agricultural work.
 MT. Nichols further writes
 '" While at Williams some time ago my attention was call ed to early irrigation. A hint might be acceptable.
 Just word of precaution to back yard gardeners. When the weather is cool and windy as it has been and the plants are rather slow in growing, it is great temptation to try and hurry things along, hence the thot at once, they need water, and soon the cold water can be seen spraying over an already cold soil.
 The results are worse than before. The plants become weakened and shallow rooted !; the soil hard and compact; the first hot day the plants look wilted and shriveled up. One wonders what can be the mat ter. A little more cold tap wa ter is passed out to them; they recover but the afternoon of the next day they are wilted again; the process is repeated and so on. Weeks later the plants are tall and slender, the roots are all near the surface {; if cabbage the heads are high up on stems, if potatoes they are all vines and no potatoes.
 As long as it keeps chilly and the soil cold as it has been, it is next to impossible for plants to grow rapidly. Keep the water off until you absolutely have to lrrigate your garden but remem Der this, the hoe is for a dual purpose, to kill the weeds and to loosen the soil. Use it plen- ty. Keep the soil loose and a good mulch on top.

RED LAKE VALLEY
"Hey-diddle-dey-diddle The wool and the needle A sweater Pm trying to knit, Everyone laughs

The WOOL ana Cn0 n00Ol0
 A sweater Pm trying to knit,
 Everyone laughs
 At the lack of my craft
 But Pm trying to do bit."
 This is what the youngest pu- pil of the Red Lake School, Ab- bic Hinds, said at the entertain ment given Friday night for the benefit of the Red Cross. And this spirit of "doing their bit'' marked the evening. There was Burns Mclean taking the part of Uncle Sam and Anna May Boyett, a Red Cross nurse. The children began their pro- gram by singing America, ,i n which the audience joined, then followed patriotic pieces, final ly MT. L. S. Williams spoke, ex- blaming what the Red Cross stands for, why the war is be- ing fought and then asked the school to repeat the Oath of AL legiance The entertainment was wonderfully we'll attended and helped to swell the sum which Red Lake gave to the Red Cross, to very nearly three times it's quota. Besides the en- trance fee and the dancing, which each brought in goodly sum, there was the lemonade stand and the coffee and cake booth where the children sold to all who would buy. Early in the morning MT. c. T. Kinds, Chairman of the Red Cross Committee, hitched up his Ford and made the rounds ofthe Val ley, soliciting personal contri- buttons. He met hearty re- sponse everywhere. Then ten sacks of potatoes from the Kinds Ranch were donated to the Williams Red Lake Chap ter to be auctioned off at a fav- orable opportunity.
 Future Crops
 The farmer must help in other ways to win the war and spring planting being finished, Red Lake is now proceeding to do what it can to insure a large fall planting of wheat.
 They are making plans to I break 120 acres of land on the Kinds Ranch to plant into win ter wheat; MT. c. B. Hume is busy breaking sod for the same purpose; MT. A. w. Strange is planning for wheat planting and so is MT. Walter Thomas son.
 TheRed Lake Garden, Pig and Poultry Club will meet with Lucille Carpenter, Satur- day, May 18th.
 The Red Lake Woman's Club will meet at the home of Mrs. A. B. Murphy, Saturday, June 1st.

MUST BUY MORE W. S.S.

An official report of the War Savings Sales in the United States for the month of April has been received from the Treasury Department by H. R. Tritle, State Director of War Savings for Arizona. The re port places Arizona in sixth place among the states. The report also shows Nebraska is leading the states in sales for April with record of 3.49 per capita, while Ohio is second with $1.15 per capita. Ariz- ona's sales show 88c per capita which is not very gratifying to the State Chairman. Had the workers in the field put more punch in their efforts Arizona might have passed Ohio and been given second place in the list.
 Yavapai County heads the list of counties in sales with more than half its allotment all ready sold. Maricopa County is second with about one third of its allotment reached. The campaign being from January 1st to December 31st and the fifth month of the year will have closed on May 31st it is, shown in the report that Yava- pal County is the only county in the state that has made its al lOtment to date. From these reports it is obvious that com-s mittees and the chairmen must put forth greater efforts the next few months that their counties might make up their quotas.
 The people should be made to realize that we are in this war to win and the Government expects to raise $2,OOO,OOO,OOO from the sale of the War Say ings Stamps. Gigantic tho this task may seem, yet if those workers who are now inactive will exert their supreme efforts Tn arousing the people to the needs of the Government every state in the union will go over the top in this campaign.
 The results in Graham, Santa Cruz Navajo and Apache coun- ties are very discouraging and indicate that their committees and chairmen must at once be- come active or those counties will signally fail to do their du- ty to our Government.
 The following table shows the allotment, amounts raised to date and the per capita ra- tios in all of the counties of the State:
 1-Yavapai, $35I,96O.OO, - $163, ,169.OO, $9.27.
 2-Maricopa, 894,620.0O,-- S274,913.OO $6.14. $1O1, ,626.0O, 5.38. 17,175.OO, 4.26.
 5-Pinal, s199,36O.OO, $34,- 238.OO, 3.43.
 6-Gila, 45s, ,66O.O0, $74,- oOc.OO, O.A4.

 Disappointing as the figures are to those who have been giv- ng up their time in the War Savings movement, neverthe- ess, the good work that has been done in some counties is encouraging in that it shows hat energetic work will put each county lover the top" Injured
