For the last two weeks, however, the editor of the News has been forced to do all of the office work singlehanded. and during the present week, not only has he had to perform the duties of editor, business man. ager, pressman, ad man, job man and linotype operator, but he must also take up the duties of local correspondent and of flee devil. The burden is quite too much, and we must beg our readers to overlook many short conaings in this weeks News.
 We are pleased to announce however, that we have just se- cured the services of Miss Kathryn Morehead to help in the office while Mrs. Morehead will help in picking up local items-nor must we overlook the new office devil.

HENRY JOHNSON IN
 THICK OF THE FIGHT

The following letter from Henry Johnson to his brother Herbert, will prove of particu- lar interest to News readers be- cause it is written from the act ual front.
 Sept. 25, 1918 Dear Brother:
 Just a few lines to let you know l am we'll, which I hope you are also.
 received four letters from mother today, and was very much pleased to get them. You can't write too much to please me, altho I can't always write when I want to so have to do just the best I can.
 I am glad to hear that you are almost free from your rheu- matism.
 It looks like rain so I must hurry with this letter as I am writing it in front of my little tent.
 Mother always asks what I am doing so I might as we'll say that I am at the front and have been here for over two months, and have been in the biggest drive the Americans have ever made so far.
 We generally have plenty toeat and I think I am really getting fatter every day. So Enfred sent home his sweater and sox. Well, he'll wish he had kept them for it is not quite as warm here as it is in America.
 They may give him a sweater over here but it won't be near as warm as the one he got from home.
 I know I wouldn't mind hav- ing one just twice as heavy as the one 1 have. I nave kept the sweater 1 took with me all the tim and am wearing it now.
 Have plent yof cloth but it is hard to carry unless you have it on our backs anyway, when you march seven or eight miles a day.
 Have been pretty lucky and have not caught a cootie yet but lots of the fellows have. You should see the rats. They are bigger than cats and there are lots of them They arc aho,,+ the only animals we find in the captured German land, besides the Huns.
 Could send you a dozen Ger man helmets or more, but I'll have to get real good one first.
 Well. can't think of any thing else to write about just now so will close. Hoping to hear from you very soon, l am your loving brother,
 Pvt. Henry Johnson.

as bread-winners and home managers. American earning power and comfort are based largely upon transportation. We all know what transporta- tion does for us daily in the form of railroads. Merchant ships are simply transportation in another form-the American merchant marine will carry our railroads aound the globe on our own trade routes, increase our intake of products from other countries, increase sales of farm products and factory goods abroad, stabilize our business, and employment and wages. Every American wo- man who is her own bread-win- ner will benefit directly, and ev- erp American woman charged with maintaining a home and family will benefit to even a greater extent, because greater earning power, comfort and stability will benefit those she loves as we'll as her herself.
 American women can begin preparing now to intelligently support the American merch- ant marine. They can study maritime past and learn why the American flag disappeared from the ocean for two genera tions.: They can study the new American shipbuilding indus try created by war, and learn how war is giving us ships once more. They can study other languages. They can assist greatly in the task of learning the facts themselves, and by i'm parting them to others.

NEW BANK ID OPEN
 MONDAY, NOVEMBER fl

On another page of the News the Citizens Bank announces that it's Williams Branch will open for business in the new bank building at the corner of Bill Williams and Second St., on Monday, November 11th. A cordial invitation is extended to the Williams public to call at the new bank, look it over, and make it their banking head quarters.
 The new bank building, just completed, is valuable addi- ton to the business block. It is designed along classical lines with the sides constructed of buff colored pressed brick, and with the cernices, pediments triglyphs, pilaster caps, and other trimmings of ivory col ored terra cotta. The windows are of large plate glass, giving 11I c dOuAO8i1CS OI light.
 The lobby floor is of tile. The building is steam heated, giving it an even temperature and making it asecozy inside on a winters day, as tho the summer sun were shining without. The lighting is indirect and so ar arranged that it sends a flood of light, entirely devoid of glare, to the farthest corners of the in teriOr.
 Besides the storage vault in the basement and the main vault, there will be safety de- posit vault with a small custom CTS room in connection. The vaults are of reinforced con- crete with the most improved type of heavy vault doors that weigh about a ton and a half apiece.
 The capital stock of the Citi- lzens Bank has been increased from $100,OOO to $15O,O0O, on account of the Williams bank. This bank needs no introduc- ton to the people of Williams as it has had customers here for number of years, and it is we'll known thruout the north ern part of the state. MT. M. I. Powers, the President, is gener- ally known from his eighteen years of business activity in Northern Arizona, not only from his connection with the bank, but also from his large cattle and sheep interests.
 The Williams bank is in the charge of MT. F. c. Scoville, formerly with the bank in Flag staff, who has been in Williams for the past few weeks over seeing the final work on the
 building and preparing for its
 opening next Monday.

SURGERY MIRACLE GIVES MAN
SIGHT after IS YEARS BLIND

LONG BEACH. Cal, Jan. Is.--
Thru the marvels of modern sur
gerry, J. T.. Lenhart. OF this city. has
had his sight partially restored.
He is still blind in one eye and
sees but dimly with the other, yet
he declares the small blessing OF
sight which the surgeons knife be-
slowed upon him Is little less than
a miracle.
But don't extend false hope to
the blind by overestimating the
benefit derived thru this operation"
he besought. Nothing is so tragic
as a misleading statement concern
ing the possibility OF regaining lost
sight: Il breaks more hearts than
anything In the world for the life
dream OF every blind person is
sight"
AS a youth. Lenhart became blind
phoid-pneumonia. Gradually the
sight of his right eye. either thru
sympathy or the constant strain OF
overwork. dwindled until he could
hardly detect light.
Then. thru one of the most deli.
cate operations known to surgery.
DIR. j. III. Mcclellan. "A famous eye
specialist of Pasadena, Cal, made II
possible for Lenhart to distinguish
objects and In certain lights to see
the features OF people. He can de-
tect color quite readily.
The operation which partially
healed Lenhart consisted In cutting
a new pupil into the blind eye. Tho
not an uncommon feat nowadays,
nevertheless II is very difficult to
perform successfully.
