|lOO PATRIOTS WANTED, ID BUY
 4 THRIFT STAMP \ DAY

member Of the county Ihrl1t Stamp committee, has placed five blank agreements in the hands of Mrs. A. Sine, presi- dent of the Woman's Club, which call for the signatures of twenty persons on each, who will agree to buy a Thrift Stamp a day for sixteen days.
 The aim is to get one hum dred people in Williams started to buying a thrift stamp a day, and in this way to stimulate the sale of five hundred dollars worth of stamps in about a months time. The same plan has been tried in Flagstaff with marked success. More than fifteen of the blanks have been signed up in full there. A copy of the agreement appears
 THRIFT STAMP AGREE
 MENT MO-
 We, the undersigned, agree with each other to refrain from the use of luxuries (such as cigars, candy, theatres and similar non-essentials) to the extent of twenty-five cents (25c) per day, and to invest said amount in Thrift Stamps If we do not abstain in the man. ner specified above, we agree, nevertheless, to buy twenty-five cents (25c) worth of Thrift Stamps daily. This agreement is to endure until we have pur- chased sixteen (16) stamps, enough to fill one card.
 Each of us further agrees to procure the signature of one other party hereto until the to- tai number of names equals twenty (2O), and the twentieth signer also agrees to return this obligation to David Rabbit, County Chairman of the Thrift Stamp Committee at Room IT, Rabbit Block.
 Each of us further agrees to send to David Rabbit, County Chairman, on one of the at tached postcards the name and address of the person to whom this agreement is trans mitted.
 Within twenty (20) days after the sgning of this agree ment we further agree to de posit with David Rabbit, Coun- ty Chairman, our Thrift Stamp Card with sixteen ThriftStampS attached hereto and the neces- sary additional amount in non- ey to enable him to issue to us $500 War Savings Stamp.
 For the love of country we promise to faithfully abide by the above.
 It should be noted that. by this plan, each individual az rees to two things: first to get one more signature to the az reement, and second. to pur- chase a stamp a day until six teen stamps are purchased, and then to add to that the neces- sary number of cents to get a War Saving Stamp. This is asking so little that there is no one too poor to fulfill the agree ment. And yet it is very essen tial that this sort of work be done. Every citizen in Williams should get back of this and make the five agreements too inadequate to fill the demand in Williams. Ask Mrs. Sine for a chance to be one of the first signers.

TT has long been known that the vapOr
Il of mercury possesses the power OF
decomposing various compounds OF ear
bon in such a way as TO produce pure
carbon. AmalgamS Of sodium and other
metals slowly lose the mercury through
evaporation, and when such amalgams
are placed in contact with hydrocarbons
the later are decompOsed, with the result
that the carbon is liberated as a shapelcss
black mass together with a few crystals.
These crystals are so small as TO be of no
practical value.
One chemical engineer has undertaken
to produce large crystals Of carbon by
making the mercury decompose carbon
compounds under conditions favorable TO
the growth of crystals. In tube about
sixteen inches in length and an inch in
diameter he placed a quantity Of sodium

Back again | went to my first block

America had been brought together. The
boys who had gone were almost all OF
Italian parentage, and here, through
block parties and neighborhood spirit and
friendliness and good fellowship, America
was fast being brought closer TO its for
eign population. No longer did their
homes seem so far away, their ideas so
age worn, their customs so remote and,
strange. No, Italy and America were not
so far apart. The same cause, the same
hopes, the same ideals, the same sacrI-
fees inspired BOTH and all the allied eoun-
tries were becoming unified not only on
the firing line but also along city blocks,

where people lived so closely together
that the sky seemed almost pushed out of

they shone upon the stars of that service

faced doll who said she worked in a de-
partment store, tried munitions because
she thought it meant more money, and
hated it. She smiled indifferently when
patriotism was mentioned. The third girl
was leaving, she said, to get married the
next Sunday.
"If my husbands drafted I'll go back
to munitions" she said. "Pve no kick
against munitions. I've worked in 'em
so long / couldn't do anything else. You
make good money"
Depressed by this commercial view I
got off the boat at the Manhattan pier
and strolled sorrowfully to the subway.
Decidedly the country was going to the
dogs when women felt that way. And
then came the merry clatter Of feet be-
hind me and party of ten girls, just
back from their days work in the factory,
dashed up.

and then large service flag aTas carried,
not by boys and girls or young men or
young women, but by parents.
The band stopped, the bugle gave re-
sounding call and every one stood at
attention, while all hats came off. In
that congested street where thousands had
assembled, where humanity was packed,
jammed, one could see the stiffness with
which every one stood.
"The Star Spangled Banner" was
played "The Star Spangled Banner"
was sung by those many Italian voices,
some melodious and clear and true and
others weak and straining and broken.
And out in the centre of the street the
American flag was slowly raised up so
it hung over the block. Shouts of love
for America, of patriotism, went up, and
butcher boy with flashing black eyes
clapped his hands and in a moment of
supreme ecstasy and excitement grabbed
one of the pieces Of meat hanging in the
shop and waved it in the air.
''Viva America" he shouted.
There was a pause after the flag had
been raised and another signal was given,
so that again the huge crowd was silent.
Then the band burst into "0ver There"
and slowly another flag was raised. 1t
was the service flag with sixty stars, the
number of boys who had gone from that
one block.
Eyes of mothers glistened, eyes of ia
Tiers shone suspiciously bright, while ia
theirs, mothers, children on fire escapes, on
window lodges waved and eheered and
called and danced up and down until it
seemed that they must fall over on our
heads One small child wearing gaudy
would-be diamond and ruby earrings
and carried in her mothers arms pounded
her tiny fist upon my hat as she kept time
to the music of "Over There"
There were cries, there were glad, ex-
ultsnt, proud, happy cries of loyalty for
the flags of all the Allies as they were in
turned raised, but the cheers for the
American flag, the Italian flag and the
service flag were beyond description. They
seemed TO come from the very souls Of
these people and TO be sent straight up
TO the heavens above.
There are some who voice objections to

block parties. There are some who will
always object to anything. There arc
some who say that the poor people, the
ones who mostly have these parties,
shouldn't be spending money, shouldn't
be glad or gay at all. But We must re-
member, those Of us whose pleasures are
more expensive, that the poor are re-
sourceful.
They know how to get great deal out
of a very ittle-and their expenses, |
found, were almost negligible at block
parties. The money received for dancing
for they dance afterward at the block
party and 10 cents is charged each couple
this money either goes to the boys
abroad, the various authorized war funds,
or, as in the case of this party, to the
Red Cross unit of the school.
Let the DIRECTORS stop and think, just
for moment, of the number of stars on
the flags hanging over these blocks. Let
them see the wet eyes of mothers as the
service flags aseend-mothers who love
their sons in the service dearly, even
though they may have many more be-
sides. They have love in their hearts for
many children, these mothers.
Let them see the fathers, too, and many

Nv first block party was given one Sat
urday night down on Mott street in an
Italian neighborhood. Public School 81,
near by, has always interested me and l
knew something of tha neigabOrhood, Of
the way the people there had bought Lib
erty bonds and War Savings Stamps, of
how they were working and sacrificing
to pay for their third Liberty bonds in
order to subscribe to the fourth loan. In
front of the school hangs a large service
flag with many stars, below which are the
two words: "Neighbors' Sons"
The block party was block away from
the school The boys band, one Of the
institutions of the school and made up Of
italian lads, was in the procession, which
had just started when arrived. Boys
rode bicycles gay with color. Then came
Joan Of Are, resplendent and magnificent
on a great charger. Then came other fig
ures of history, figures symbolical Of lib
erty, including George Washington and
Lincoln. Carefully their horses had to
step to avoid crushing the many chill
dren who in spite of roped off areas
erept through everywhere and anywhere.
Little girls in Red Cross costumes car
ried a great Red Cross flag, while boys
and girls bore the flags of the allied ma
tions. Many were gayly attired in Ital-
ian costumes and tambourines were waved
merrily.
A man dressed 10 represent the Kaiser

his neck.

as her eyes danced exultantly. Sand three

she added proudly, beamingly.

and over this in turn he sprinkled some

Into the tube he then passed current
Of ordinary Illuminating gas, keeping the
whole apparatus in the water bath at the

of crystals were formed, some Of them

they disappeared when heated in oxygen

1t may therefore be concluded that
hydrocarbons are deeomposed by mer-
curry vapor in a way that liberates the car

also as crystals, if there is present a
nucleus upon which the carbon crystal
can grow.
