CL0UDBURST, HAIL
 HIT WINS. MONDAY

Williams was visited with a
 small cloudburst Monday af- ternoon. A little over two in
 ches of rain fell in the course of two hours, the greater part of the rain falling in the course of about half an hour. A great deal of hail accompanied the storm and did great dam3 age to garden and field.
 The previous rains of the last week had pretty we'll saturated the ground and with the rain falling so rapidly, the major portion of it ran off over flowing the gutters and food ing the streets. Hillside gar dens were washed away, and the cinder covering to the streets was carried completely away on many of the streets At some places on the hill side the flood water wore it's way down to bed rock. The water entered number of stores in the lower part of town, but no considerable damage was done.
 The hail stripped trees of their foliage on the wind ward side and great damage was done to fruit. Yet greater loss es were sustained by poultry raisers, the waters flooding many chicken coops with dis astrous results. Loses in the various f1ocks as reported, ran from half a dozen to several dozen small chicks, and in some cases full grown hens were drowned. Considering the small size of the various focks about Williams, this made a high per centage of loss.
 The storm appears to have covs cred a comparatively small area with it's intensity, for l.. w. Cureton reports no dam. age done to his crop half mile north of town, and like report is given by MT. Hunter but a few miles to the west.
 Acting Mayor, w. c. Rita tenhouse and Marshal Burns were promptly out after the storm inspecting damages and organizing repairs. By Tues day evening the streets again presented a restored condition,
 Among those who suffered the severest losses from the storm is MT. Fisher who re- gently bought out Fosters Poultry Ranch. He had three acres of fine spring wheat we'll cally ruined this crop. Grain fields that were planted later and had not yet headed, while suffering were by no means ruined.

Wins. Man on Dental Board

pr. E. A. Miller has been
 appointed by Governor Camp
 bell, to a position on the State
 Dental Board. MT. Miller left
 Wednesday evening for Phoe- nix for the first meeting of the
 board, since his appointment. It will be his duty, along with the other members of the board to pass upon the qualifications of those desiring to practice dentistry in the state of Ariz- ona. There has been a consid- erable amount of controversy over the rulings on the former board on applications made by would-be practitioners in the state and the new board will find itself confronted by a num- Der of perplexing problems at the very outset. MT. Miller be- lieves that no man should be allowed to practice dentistry, unless he is thoroly competent, but he does not consider com plete mastery of the theory of dentistry necessary to efficient work. He expects to grade a man fully sixty per cent on practical ability to do dental work giving "book knowledge" second rank for importance. A position on this board is a very responsible one and 1t we'll for Williams den tist that he should( be given such high recognition in the state.

Atlantic Safely Crossed

The British dirigible the R-34 after safely crossing the Atlantic from England to Am- erica, has started on the return voyage with every indication of successful return to England The establishment of regular air and passenger line with ships leaving daily is the next step tobelooked for. The time required to make the trip is considerably less than that re- guired by the swiftest ocean liners. Another British ship all- ready under construction, is designed to stay in the air long enough to make the trip from England to Australia. With fewer stops for fuel than are required by steamship, this vessel could circumnavigate the globe in three weeks time. Within ten years from today this time will no doubt be cut in two. Around the world in a weeks timewill be none too fast for the next generation.

 Over Million Shells in 4 Hours
 Washington, D. C. The most intense concentration of artillery fire ever recorded was that of the American troops nj hte battle of St. Mihiel, fought from September 12 to Is and which was the first distinctly American offensive of the war. It wa fought chief ly by American troops and wholly under the orders of Am erican officers. In this battle the American artillery fired four hours.
 Two comparisons with Get tysburg emphasize the magri- tude of the St. Mihiel, operation At St. Mihiel, 55O,OOO Ameri- cans were engaged; at Gettys- burg, the Union troops numb cred approximately 100000. In three days at Gettysburg the Union Artillery fired 33.OOO shells. The St. Mihiel often sive cost the Americans about 1000 casualties, less than one third the Union losses at Get tysburg.
