Municipal Light PIant a Success

Municipal Light PLdnt q Success
 With final adjustment of the machinery at the municipal light plant nearly completed. the pros pect for economical and efficient service is better than was anti cipated by even the most san- guine of the councilmen at the time the purchase was made. The plant is proving superior to the old steam plant in both econ omy and efficiency, and still bet ter results are assured.
 Mr. Slower states that the op- eration of the new plant is prov ing less expensive than the old steam plant by at least $50 a month at the present time and when the new cooling system is completed and the fuel cost cut down about one third the saving will be much greater. The ser vice being rendered at the pres ent time is first class but will be still better when all adjustments are made, and will prove super for to that received from the old plant, in the opinion of MT. Sto- yer. Steady continuous service is assured tor the near future.
 Now that the value of the plant has been proven it is time for the people of Williams to hand their compliments to the Town Council for their efficient management of the purchase and installation of the new plant. And the council in turn has been particularly fortunate in having so able a manager as Mir. Stover to oversee the selec- ton. installation and operation of the various parts of the equip ment.

SmaIIbox Under Control

Dr. J. w. BazelI. couDty health officer. states that there is only one case of smallpox in Holbrook, and that this case is mild one and is closely quaran- tined. Dr. Bazell thinks that the danger of an epidemic has passed.
 Following is an excerpt from a letter received by Dr. Bazell from Dr. w. 0. Sweet, secretary of the state board of health.
 "You can give out to your To- cal newspapers that the spread ing of transformation in regard to tetanus in vaccine points is German propaganda. Someof the worst blows that have been struck agalnst America have been struck by ignorant Ameri- cans listening to smart Germans. There is no question in the minds of intelligent men that the Germans are responsible for such information"

 Mrs. D. J. Thomas:-
 Many, many thanks for the Christmas box which received on the January boat from the states. It was some delayed on account of boat connections but it was sure appreciated when it did get here.
 There is a mail boat arrives here every 21 days from the states and on the following day one arrives from Sydney on it's way to the states and I had not got my mail in time to write this letter on the January boat so 1 sure felt bad about it. But that did not help things any. 1 am doing my best to thank you one and all for the candy which 1 re- ceived and hope some time in the future that I can come back and thank you all in person and tell you how much I liked those stuffed dates and fudge.
 Thanking you all, 1 remain,

Texas Girl Hears from Germany
 (Kemp. Texas, News)

Kemp. IoXaS, NeWS)
 A young lady living in an east Texas town not more than 125 miles from Kemp, received a let ter from her sweetheart, who is a prisoner in Germany. In the letter he stated that he was get ting all he wanted to eat and wear and that Germans were as kind to him as could be asked for. He also said he was send ing her his watch as a keepsake. Later she got the watch and when she went to wind it, it would not wind. She carried it to a jeweler and down in the works the man had 8 note in which he stated all he had said Tn the letter was a lie; that his nose and ears had been cut off by the Germans and he would never see her for he was a sight that would turn the very strong est stomach into a vomiting fit. The girl who received this letter lives at Nacogdoches and there are people in Kemp who know her, and the story to be true one.

WEEKLY CREST OF EVENTS That HdUe Been Noted by The NeWs' Staff for the Edifcdtion or Its Readers. Really Worth q PerusaI.
Three Years of Progress

1nTee years ago COOay the pre-
 sent owner of the News com
 pleted the purchase of the paper
 and assumed the active manage
 ment of the property. During
 these three years many changes
 have occurred in the town. The population has doubled, the num- Der of business houses has in- creased 50 per cent, and many comfortable homes have been built. Altogether the town has made wonderful growth, and this growth seems to be but the beginning of far greater things to come in the future.
 The country districts have kept pace with the rapid growth of Holbrook in the last three years. A large number of home steaders has come into the coun- ty, and these homesteaders have already established farms. Some of these have bought farms in the irrigated districts, but the majority of them have located on government land in the south ern part of the county where farming without irrigation is profitable.
 Before the year 1918 ends the Apache Railway will be con- pleted to the big timber belt 70 miles south of Holbrook; the company will have started cut ting timber, and early in the year 1919 will be shipping out lumber. The completion of this railroad will mean much to Hol- brook; it will bring into closer relations vast territory occu- pied by farmers and stockmen. and the towns facilities for dis tributing merchandise through out this district will be greatly improved,
 Holbrook is in truth a place where dreams come true. The dream of the older residents of a railroad leading into the pine forests south of here has come true. The road is now building and it will be completed within the current year. Another dream of the people will become reality before many months have passed. This dream is that oil will be developed in this terri tory. One company has already been organized to drill for oil, and several other companies are in process of organization. With in the next few weeks there will be several rigs on the ground | and drilling will be in progress.
 That oil will be struck, pro- bably at a shallow depth, is the opinion of every person who has investigated the field. The men who are putting in their money to develop oil are certain that | they will be successful. Some of these men are experienced in the oil business, and the fact that they are investing their own money to test the Holbrook field | is evidence that the field is a promising on.
 With the development of oil in the Holbrook fields, the town will have a rapid growth; it will soon develop into the largest town in the northern part of the state, possibly the largest town | in the whole state. The state ment "all things come to those who wait''. is especially true in Holbrook.

BANKERS ARE PATRIOTIC
Are Proving Their Loyalty in Aiding Government to Finance
 the War.

The splendid spirit of patriotism manifested by the bankers throughout the Eighth Federal Reserve District in previous Liberty Loan Campaigns is being more than maintained in the preliminary campaign for the Fourth Loan that began June 20, when the first series of s750.000,000 of United States Treasury Certificates of Indebt- edness was offered to the banks.
 No more patriotic and intelligent body os men than the men comprising the banking element exists anywhere. They make a deep study of finance They watched the mistakes made by Germany and our Allies in financing the war, and they do not hesitate to place the stamp of approval on the methods adopted by the United States Government to avoid repetition of the mistakes.
 This plan of Certificates of Indebt. edness spreads out the demand that will be made this fall on the country at large for the Fourth Loan, and the money that is realized from raw mate rials and labor will go through the channels of commerce and return to the country for reinvestment this fall.
 The certificates form the basis for a system of credits which will relieve the country of great strain 1t would experience if the certificate plan had not been adopted.

NOTE ALL FARM HAPPENINGS
Records Make Reference to Them Easy and They Become Valuable
 When Memory Fails.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Simple accounts of the everyday happenings on the farm will often be found of great value. Every farmer makes note when calf is born or a SOW farrows. Many do so mentally only, but il is none the less a note. If such notes are written down in way that makes reference to them easy, they become of much use in supplying needed information when memory fails. Notes recording other every day happenings often prove useful Among these may be mentioned the dates when animals are bred, men hired or discharged, accidents occur. pasture season begins and ends, first and last frosts occur, incubators are set, spring work begins and fall work ends. seed time and harvest occur, etc. Such notes as these when systematic cally recorded and constantly referred to are of much value. They enable one to take proper precautions as to feed and care of animals prior to the birth of young. thereby often saving both mother and offspring. Disputes with hired men as to wages are avoid cd by recording when they are hired, q wage agreement, and all amounts sub sequentiy paid them. Accident rec ords are of value when seeking redress for damages, pasture data when figur- ing on feed supply, and frost and other weather data in planning the years work.

PRELIMINARY CAMPAIGN
Eiohth District Bankers Absorb First Offering of Certificates of
 Indebtedness.

Bankers throughout the Eighth Fed eral Reserve District are entering heartily in the Governments plan to dispose of the $75o.o00.000 United States Treasury Certificates of Indebt- edness.
 The quota for the St. Louis District is s30000,000. issued June 25- Similar offerings of the certificates, not to e1- ceed eight issues, will be made every two weeks until the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign. Then these short term certificates. maturing October 24, may be turned in for the long-term Liberty Bonds.
 By the banks taking the certificates st each offering, the money goes into the hands of the Government, i: is expended for raw materials and for labor, is thrown back into the chan nels of commerce and may be used over and over, and the people not made to feel the drain that would be felt if the entire amount were raised at one time.
 The Certificates of Indebtedness plan will relieve the Liberty Loan Campaign to a large extent and make it's success all the easier.

 Nearly a third of million of horses and mules have been removed from farms and ranges and placed in army camps. This has increased the market demand for straw for bedding several hundred tons per week.
 The prices It army camps and large markets have naturally influenced the price of this commodity on local mar kets, and the straw that was formerly burned or allowed to be trampled down by stock will now bring enough on the market to leave good margin of profit to farmers over the cost of baling and shipping. The market price cf straw is now between SS and $20 per ton. and there is a good demand for almost any kind ef straw.
 Farmers who are not in the habit of selling straw. but who can advan- tageously do so, should bale their sur plus or arrange to do so during the

 Most persons do not realize what an enormous number of seeds are produced by weeds. The number varies with differ ent species, most kinds produc- ing from one hundred to several thousand seeds per plant. Some weeds, such as wild carrot, bur dock and SOW thistle, are capable of producing 10000 or more seeds to the plant. Moreover. net all weed seeds germinate at once, but delay sprouting for a period, some of them for several years. This is the basis of the old saying, "One years seeding makes seven years wedding"
