REQUIREMENTS OF
 MILITARY REGISTER

In accordance with the Re- vised Statutes of Arizona, of 1918, it is the duty of the Coun- ty Recorder of their respective Counties to prepare a Military Register on which shall be en- tered the names of the voters of his county, and who are now serving in the army, navy, or other part of the Military estab- 1ishment of this State or of the United States.
 Every public officer and citi- zen shall furnish the Recorder such information as he may po- sess relating to absent voters who are in the military estab- ishments of the State.

Deserve Vote of Thanks
and patriots

The boosters and patriots
 who succeeded in securing a
 troop of cavalry for Williams,
 certainly deserve vote of
 thanks from the citizens of the town. The stationing of a troop here will bring several new residents to town, and it will cause a monthly payroll of sev- era1 thousand dollars to be dis tributed here. It will also mean the spending of a good many thousands of dollars of govern ment money here for the con struction of buildings and other equipment. A market for a good many tons of hay will al- so be made by stationing the cavalry horses here.
 This is the sort of boosting that really counts. Each new industry, each new institution, each new business that may be added to the town will directly build up the population and add to the prosperity of the com Consistent boosting of this sort kept up for the next ten years will double the pop- ulation of Williams.
