William PuIIen Now
 in State of Florida

A few days ago the editor o1 the News received a letter from Wm. E. Pullen, a former well known young man of Holbrook. who is now serving his country. MT. Pullen was stationed for some tune after his enlistment at Camp Travis. Texas; he is now in Camp Joseph E. John son of Jacksonville, Fla, and expects soon to be ordered to France.

This number is considerably less than was reported the first of this week and workers are highly encouraged over conditions now existing in Holbroek. for they are now more nearly normal tban they have been for over two weeks, although health offi- cials have not as yet permitted the reopening of any places of public assembly. At this time there are but four or five cases of a serious nature in town.
 In further effort to eradicate the disease the sanitary com mission has ordered a general cleanup of the town and a crew of men are now at work carry ing out these orders.

 For this splendid and patriotic showing. the people of the whole county are to be- com mended; and the men and women who acted as chairmen of the various eounty and precinct committees are entitled to un- stinted praise. This is a com munity of loyal citizens and their example in holding up the hands of the national govern ment by purchasing Liberty bonds is one worthy of emula- tion by all good people.

Advertising Rates To Be Raised

On November 1st the advertising rates of The News will be adjusted to uniform basis. This will mean that in many instances the rates will be materially increased.
 Some advertisers are now paying the same rate they paid when the paper was established nine years ago. At that time the cost of publish ing paper was less than one third what it is tc- day. Not only has the cost of getting out the pa per trebbled, but living and other expenses have advanced in corresponding degree.
 We have delayed as long as possible in making the change to higher rate in our advertising charges, but it is not possible to delay it longer, and keep the paper up to a high standard. New machinery will be installed in the plant in few days and several new features will be added, which will materially increase the desirability of the pa- per. Advertisers will gain in increased crcula- tion more than the increase in cost of the space they use.
 Beginning November 1st statements of ac- count will be mailed to all advertisers in The News. Upon these statements will be shown the new rate for the same space in the future It is hoped that all will realize the necessity for making the change to higher rate, and that none will discontinue using our columns.
 Very respectfully
 G. M. BRAxToN, Proprietor.

Sheriff Newman Captures
 a Suspected Burglar

Sheriff R. L. Newman was in Flagstaff Monday and arrested a young man named Charles Neil upon suspicion of having burg larized the ranch house of the Aztec Land and Cattle Co. at St. Joseph. He returned to Hol- brook with his prisoner Tuesday morning, and the same day re- leased him from custody.
 Some of the articles taken from the ranch house were found in possession of Neil. but he told a straight story as to how they came into his possession and the sheriff therefore turned him loose.
 Neil's story was to the effect that he bought the articles-a Navajo blanket and a suitcase from man named George Cole man, when travelling on a freight train between St. Joseph and Winslow.
 Coleman recently finished serv- ing a term of one year in the penitentiary for stealing a horse from Mayor Geo. W. Hennessey, He was in Holbrook last Friday. the day before the burglary was committed at St. Joseph, and was questioned by Sheriff New man as to what he intended to do. He informed the sheriff that he had come back. after serving his term. to make good. His making good" seems to have been to commit another crime.
 Coleman was arrested by the sheriff's office Tn Gallup yester- day and Sheriff Newman went to that town last evening and brought him to Holbrook.
