USE OF OLD STOCKINGS

Old stockings worn at the knees can be cut off and hemm- ed. These make good extra soxs for small children in the sum- mer. New feet can be cut from old uppers and used. New stock ings should be reinforcedat the top with old stocking tops to keep the supporters from cut ting through. Old stockings may be sewed together and made in to baby overalls to slip on over the creeping baby's underwear Old stockings tops folded make good kitchen holders when fold
 ed into the desired shape and
 edges overcast. Closely woven tops make good wristlets for children. Stockings make good mittens to work with when working in the garden or yard. Tops, white and black, of rib bed stockings are often used to make stockingcaps for small children. White stocking tops are often used to piece out slee- yes and legs of winter under wear. Stocking legs make good sleeve covers Hopeless stock ings make good mops when cut open. Old silk stockings make good dust cloths.-Hazel Zim- merman Home Demonstration Agent, Pima and Pinal counties.

r, M. GCLl WINS
 BY SFVFN VOTES

W1c> the Corr+-- Supervis- DTS cc-o+nd the election returns last Monday, they found that F. M. C. lad in tIo ~c q for coun ty attorney. bv tho rnoall mar oin of eovan votes This was the only case in the election of county officers in which the early returns left arv doubt.
 The neople of Williams feel much relieved to see that they are to have at least one repre- sentative in the county court house during the coming two years. altho it cannot be denied that there is much disappoint- ment over our failure to secure a representative on the Board of Suprvisors. However, the election of MT. Stark to the State legislature with such a large majority is very gratify- ing to the people in this part of the county, and helps to amelio- rate the disappointment over the loss of a representative on the board of supervisors.
 It is now up to the two mer from this side to make good, and both men are going to do so.

PEOPLE OF WILLIAMS
 GIVEN THE YER BEST

There is no doubt that the Sultana theatre is offering the people of Williams the very best in motion pictures and that too, with very few exceptions, at smaller charge than is ask ed even in the largest cities. This was particularly true last Wednesday night when Nazi- nova was presented in "Reve- lation." This picture is rated by the great critics as one of the worlds greatest, on a par if not even superior to 'The Birth of Nation' and all like great pictures that have appeared thus far in the motion picture world.
 The regular charge for Nazim- ova, in other places has been 50 cents. It was shown here at no increase in price over the reg 'ular every night charge. Those who failed to see it missed a great opportunity.
