Business Growing Rapidly.

The business of the local Standard Oil station has grown very rapidly since the establish ment of the plant here three years ago. When first estab- lished but one man was requir- ed to handle the business of this branch. For a little over a year two men have been kept busy, and recently a third man has been added to the local force. Forest Roundsville is kept busy running the two and one half ton Moreland truck re- gently added to the equipment. This truck carries a demount- able tank and thus serves a double purpose. Recently Thurman has been trans ferred from Humboldt to have work in the yard at the station, MT. J.C.Rutler. local manager, now has little time for anything but office work. With the growing business comes in- creased equipment. Just now the company is building a two stall garage to house the truck and MT. Buffers car, and also a loading stand to make the fll- ing of the tank more conven- tent. In addition to the sale of gasoline, kerosene and lubri- eating oil, the company is now pushing the sale of a large num- Der of by-products including furniture polish and similar materials.

Building Large Silo

Wm. Naglller IS erecting a large silo on his ranch south of town, with a view to providing cheaper feed for his stock in winter. The silo is to be of the pit type. Henry Redwine has been digging the pit and has it nearly completed. The pit is twenty feet across and thirty feet deep. It will hold a hund- red tons of silage. MT. Nagiller has good crop of both corn and sunflowers with which to fill the silo. The sunfowers are of the large Russian variety and are considered even better than corn for ensilage.
 The recent frosts have hurt both crops but they may yet be used by adding water to fresh en them up.

WOULDN'T COIN WINS.

Victor Gomez, of Flagstaff, /, drove down to Williams one day this week in a Hupmobiie touring car which he had pur- chased some eight months ago. He had recently sold some sheep to Charley Burton and drove the car over into a field on the Perrin ranch and left it there while he went over into the pasture to confer with MT. Burton. Charley Sweet wood happened by and seeing the car deserted, thot it might be a stolen car. He noted the license number and on coming to town reported it to the local officers. Constable McDoueal and Marshal Burns went over to investigate. after learning from Flagstaff that the license number did not belong to that car. They found the car as described, without an owner present. After a wait of about half an hour. Gomez returned to the car. When asked to e:l- plain about the number. MT. Gomez stated that he had not purchased a license yet altho he had owned the car for eight months. He said that he had always borrowed a number when he took the car out. The number then on the car belong ed to a Dodge Truck owned in Flagstaff.
 Gomez was promptly haled before Judge Button and fined S25, which would have paid h;s license on the car for several years. It may pay to beat the license tax in Flagstaff, but net in Williams.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
 BUSY DAYS FOR JUDGE

Thursday and Friday of this week were busy days for the Justice Court of Judge Button The cases of the state vs. Mrs Andrada, Richard Schults, and Geo. Robinson and w. A. John son were heard.
 After her preliminary hear ing, Mrs. Andrada was bound over to the Superior Court by Judge Button and her casi: bond of $1,OOO was continued Mrs. Andrada, it will be re membered, was the proprietor of the O. K. Lodging House at the time that Babbitts' store was being robbed and is charg- ed with being an accomplice in the robbing.
 The case of Schultz was dis missed.
 After hearing what little ev- idence there was to be produc- ed in the case against Robinson and w. A. Johnson, Judge Button dismissed the case the, men going free. The evidence produced in addition to the mems own story, only bore out the truthfulness of the story as told by the men. The position of the dead men, the finding of and the location of the various discharged gun shells all taIlied with the mems story. The Judge was convinced that Johnson and Robinson had shot in self defense. The sheepherderS were trespassing upon the homestead of Johnson and this after they had been warned to keep off. There is state law also which prohibits the herd ing of sheep within one mile of a bonafide homestead, and these men were not only herd ing but were camped on the homestead.

PRIMARIES PASS QUIETLY
 BUT BRING SURPRISES

 Hams due to the fact that there were only a few offices for which there was a real contest.
 In county politics much inter est was taken over the nonnina- tions for supervisor, in both parties and there was consider able interest taken over the nominations for sheriff and sup erintendet of schools. Locally the only interest in the demo- cratic primary was over consta- ble and in this only one name that of Chas. Sweetwood ap- peared on the ballot, due to the failure of Henry Redwine to get his nomination papers filed. In the republican party much i;.- terest was taken over the nor1- ination for Justice of the Peace. Five candidates were announc- ed: J. s. Button, s. O. Miller, Frank Fisher, R. R. Powers. and c. P. Silvernail. For the balance of the county and pre- cinct offices there was but one announced candidate each and consequently no contest. Considerable confusion was thrown into the election locally thru the appearance of the name of c. P. Silvernail, candi. date for Justice of the Peace in Williams precinct, on the bal lot as a candidate for constable. In the outlying precincts that come under the jurisdiction of the officers of Williams precinct officers, the precinct candidates were left off the ballot entirely. These mistakes would have been rectified had the county printers published the sample ballots ten days before the elec- tion as prescribed by law. H. would be hard to find a sample of greater bungling of the conn- ty printing than in this case, with consequent confusing of the polls and actual disfran- chisement of legitimate voters. Contests may result from the bungling of the prmaries and if so the public should not be forced to bear the expense.
 The official count by the Board of Supervisors will be made next Tuesday. Below ap- pear the unofficial results of the election so far as received. Winning State Candidates

IRELAND.
By J. Bush

By J. Bush
'Tis the Irish, noble brave and grand,
Who for home rule do determined
stand;
Logical, just and reasonable in their
demand,
They are fighting for democracy, un-
derstand.
Weary are the people Of the Emerald
land,
Who for years have England scanned;
By her tyranny is their flaming ire
famed,
Robbed and innobled by a ruthless
hand.
Yet not subdued or severed is their
band,
Britain does subordinate with base
command;
But tho spirit can't intimidate with
brand,
So steadfast do those gallant Irish
stand.
To her tribute the world must hand,
For democracy her sons would die in
any land;
Think, what America owes Ireland,
Her native sons real democracy did
expand,
Americas duty it is her oppressor to
reprimand.

DISEASE VS.. STRIKES
LOSSES THROUGH PREVENT
ABLE DISEASE MAKE ALL
STRIKE COSTS LOOK
THRILLING

MISUNDERSTANDING to figures
made public by DR.. Hugh S. Cum
ming, surgeon general ofthe United
States public health service, the coun-
try's loss thourgh strikes is trife,
compared with the loss through pre-
ventable disease.
The medical man did not make this
comparison, but the information he
gives is a hint to those who deliver
ponderous lectures on the cost Of
strikes, the need for greater produc-
tion by the workers, and "can't-
strike" legislation.
"In the United States in a normal
year," said DR.. Cumming, "for each
person gainfully employed, there is
loss of nine days due to sickness,
large part of it being preventable.
There were approximately 100000
deaths from pneumonia in the United
States in 1918. For every death
from pneumonia in the United States
we count 125 sick days. There were
over $4,000 deaths from typhoid
fever. A death from typhoid fever
corresponds to loss of from 450 to
500 sick days. There were over 150,-
900 deaths from tuberculosis. A
death from tuberculosis corresponds
to slightly more than 500 sick days
among whites and slightly less than
this among colored.
"While it is true that these are
diseases in which the death rates are
high, that is not the chief factor in
causing the high economic loss.
Malaria fever very we'll illustrates
the economic loss to the world due
to a disease in which the mortality
rate is low.
"Although conservative estimates
place the number of cases of ma
laria fever in the United States at
above 100000 cases annually, the
death rate gives no indication of this
high prevalence. Yet each case of
malaria fever represents a loss of
several working days and continued
lowering of efficiency.
"If we could eradicate this malaria
in the south, and other preventable
diseases throughout the nation, the
increased efficiency in man-power
would far more than offset the loss
to the United States due to the war
and the influenza epidemic.
We know that in a number of
countries of the old world production
has ceased, or become inadequate, as
result of disease. Large fertile
areas have not been cultivated since
the war, industries are idle, or prac-
tically so. In addition to this we are
facing an extensive spread of pesti-
lential disease, yet these dangerous
diseases can be controlled, for we
know a great deal about them. AL
together the economic loss is enor-
NOUS. Typhus fever is spread by the
body louise; bubonic plague by the
fea-infested rat; malaria fever is
spread by a mosquito.
"I have given only the more strik-
ing instances. 1t would take no
stretch of the imagination to figure
the economic saving to the world if
these preventable diseases could feel
the force of a joint attack from the
nations of the world Possibly no
single factor would help more to re-
store the world to a normal basis
