CANTEEf STATION

The Canteen Service Station is now complete, except for a few connections which will be made by the. first of the week.
 Instead of the portable hut, which was the most that was expected, the building commit tee, thru the generosity of var ious firms and persons, has been able te have a substantial hut erected that will withstand the severest of the winter weather, and is attractive in appearance.
 The station adjoins the Fray Marcos, directly, on the west. Dimensions are 20X22, afford ing ample space for the work CTS. The house is divided into two rooms. In the front room is a, long counter, which may be, used either for serving <, light lunches or as work table in front of which there will be revolving stools, as in regular lunch rooms. Behind the coatn- ter are umerous shelves, and beneath it many lockers, all to facilitate quick service. There will be a radiator in the frDTft room, to furnish heat during the winter. The steam for the latter will be secured from the Harvey House. ,zt.
 In the second room there are a stove for cooking, a large work table, shelves, a medicine cabinet, lockers; for the uni forms, hot and cold water, and live steam. The water. lirhts and steam Will be furnished by the Santa Fe.
 Lumber for the cottage was donated by the Arizona Lum- Der and Timber Company. Tho Flagstaff Lumber Company and the Saginaw & Manistee Lun1- Der Company. By other dona- tions made the expense of the building is less than $2OO.
 The location of the station is admirable from a standpoint of convenience. Tt is also attrac- tive. The cream finish matches the Fray Marcos, and plenty of windows give an impression of good cheer. Small trees are growing about the building and last, but most Important are the official Canteen Service signs, one on either side of the door, and, on the roof, the words American Red Gross Canteen Station.

A SAD ACCIDENT
Lloyd J. Easton Fatally In. jured Last Sunday Afternoon

An accident which has sad dened the community occurred last Sunday afternoon, when Lloyd J. Easton, a we'll known young man, twenty years of age, walked too near to a nov ing freight train and was thrown under the cars, receiv- ing injuries which resulted fla tally about four hours later.
 With a companion Lloyd Eas- ton was walking on the station platform, in front of the news stand, as a fast freight pulled thru the yeards, at 4.35 o'clock. Eye witnesses cannot explain just how the accident occurred, some stating that Easton was evidently. attempting to board the train and others having the opinion that 3heiwas just walk ing close to the tracks when some projection on a car caught his right arm and threw him be- meath the train.
 Immediately following the accident the injured young man was rushed to the hospital. It was found that the left arm and side were badly crushed, and many other wounds had been received. Amputation of the arm was made at once, and every possible medical atten- ton given. Lloyd became suffi- ciently concious to recognize those about him and stated that he had gotten too close to the train. The shock of the iniur- ies proved too severe, and he succumbed at about nine D. m.
 The services were held at the family residence at 2.3O Tues day afternoon, Reverend Baum of Flagstaff officiating. The attendance of the many friends of the young man and the beau -tlful floral offerings proved the high esteem in which Lloyd has been held by the people of Will Hams, during his residence AASAS v A1Aio PcSt CdIs f1uCcIItlCIlt was made in the local cemetery, "a large cortege of automobiles ccompanying the hearse to the grounds to pay last tribute to the memory of a dear friend.
 Lloyd J Easton, the eldest son of MT. and Mrs. Ed. Easton. was born at Central Lake, Michigan, October 4th, 1897.
 His death was caused by ac- cident at Williams. Arizona, July 14th, 1918. He moved from his birthplace to Boyne City, Michigan, when twelve years of age, and lived there until he moved to Williams last August. ,,
 Since coming to Williams he has been employed as second filer, at the Saginawz& Manis- tee Lumber Conpany's mill. Lloyd had an excellent up- upright character, and a cheer disposition and was always popular among the young people and unusually we'll liked by all who knewchim. q
 He is survived by a father, mother, five sisters and one brother. @ s >N

INTERESTING INTERVIEW
 WITH SEN. CAMPBELL

State Senator Hugh E. Camp bell was ia Williams one day this week, and while here granted the editor of the News a very interesting interview. MT. Campbell certainly posses ses the broad vision and the keen insight necessary in a man who is to prove a wise and able legislator.
 ' If MT. Campbell may be said to have any hobbies, his hob bies are good schools and good roads. Give us these two and the safety and prosperity of the American nation and the success of democratic govern ment are assured.
 MT. Campbell feels that it is the duty of a representative of the people, to look to the inter est of the district he may repre- sent without regard to politics, and he accordingly has looked after the interests of Coconino county frst,s as his record in of fee .testifies. He also feels it is his duty to look after the inter ests of the small man before those of big interests for the treason that the big man is well able to look after his own inter eStS. sE sI&f
 In making his campaign Sen ator Campbell wishes it made clear that if he is sent to the the senate for the next term, he will go without being under ob- ligatlons to anyone, and will look after the business of the whole county without regard to politics While the office is necessarily a political one, the senator has never considered politics in the execution of his duty, to the injury of any indi- vidual, nor will he do so if el- ected again.
 MT. Campbell has been a life long democrat, is a staunch be- liever in the principles of the democratic party, has always consistently voted the democra- tic ticket. &E
 Z. When asked his attitude to- wards his opponent he had only this to say: have lived neigh Dor to my opponent for twenty years and have known him for a longer term. I have nothing to say against him, and wouldn't . say anything against him if I could"
 MT. Campbell goes before the democratic party at the pri- maries, with a high record for accomplishments, and, thanks to his experience, can promise more effective work for the county if sent to the senate again. 2

Democratic Candidate for Attorney General

To the Democrats of Arizona I I am a candidate for Attor- ney General, subject to the ac- tion of the Democratic Primary As such candidate, invite the most careful inquiry as to my qualifications. 1 have practised law more than twenty-eight years, about twenty-one, years in Texas, and this is my seventh year in Phoenix, Arizona. If elected, my opinions would be of a quasi-judicial nature, free from political bias, and un- influenced by the hope of re ward or fear of punishment. would be guided alone by my understanding of the law as saw it and would anounce it just like I would look at the clock and announce the time of day.
 When requested, I would cheerfuIly and freely assist all officials in interpreting and en- forcing the law and I would sec that my official utterances were so carefully, soberly, thought fully, and conscientiously con sidered and. expressed as to command the respect of the bench and bar of this State.
 I stand squarely for law and order, for the enforcement of all laws, including prohibi bition. I have worked for prohibition all my life, and if elected At torney General that office shall be Bone Dry" while I hold it. 1 do not and shall not use liquor myself nor permit my assist ants to use 1t.
 During war times, as well as during all other times, the legal advisers of a state should keep sober. l shall not violate the prohibition law in any way, or encourage or patronize others who violate 1t but, on the con trary, by example as we'll as by precept, I shall do my utmost to make it a blessing to this great state.
 If elected, 1 will use my best efforts at all times to secure and preserve a better feeling be- tween labor and capital, to the end that each may reach it's maximum of efficiency in devel- oping the wonderful resources of this great state and in help ing to win this great war waged in behalf of humanity. We can, we must, we shall win this war at any and all costs, and if ne cessary to win it, we will float the American flag over the i'm perial palace at Berlin

 Sodium f1ourid can be obtain ed in two forms, known as com mercial and as chemically pure. Both of these are in a dry state. the former being a dry powder and the latter consisting of small crystals somewhat lumpy.
