WILLIAMS HORSE WINS
 PHOENIX DERBY

Hank Ritter returned to Will Hams the first of the week, with a big strap bound tightly about his cranium to hold down a peculiar swelling. His friends were much concerned to see him in this plight, but readily understood the cause when they learned that Hanks young horse, Cloverton IT,, had car ried off the Phoenix derby at the Arizona State Fair. The der by goes to the champion in the one mile race. Many Williams people will remember Clover ton Jr., as the young horse which Charles Wade used to ride about Williams. MT. Ritter has now gone to Tia Juana with the horse, and is ex- pected to carry off high honors there also.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL
 NOVEMBER, 20 to 27.

The annual Red Cross roll call will begin Saturday, Nov ember 20, and will end Satur- day, November 27. In Will Hams ward captains have been appointed and it is the intention of Mrs. Melick, President of the local chapter, to give each resi- dent of Williams an opportunity to enroll in the American Red Cross for another year. The Rer Cross, while it played an important part in the war is not a strictly war organization, as some have supposed. It was serving humanity before the war started and has continued to serve since. Great things have been done by it since the war and the call comes for yet greater service.
 In Williams, the Red Cross has been active in civilian re- lief thru the services of it's nurse Mrs. Foster. It is hoped that funds enough may be secured to give Williams a Community Nurse during the next year. Where community nurses have been tried, the results have been very gratifying.
 The membership fee is but one dollar. No one is too poor to contribute that much to this greatest of humanitarian organizations.

FIRE DESTROYS THE
 JOHN kLOCk HOME.

Last Saturday morning dur ing the absence of all members of the Klock family, fire broke out in the K1ock home on Grant avenue, and nearly destroyed the house. The furniture was an entire loss and the house it. self was so badly burned that it will be nearly as expensive as building new home, to restore it. Except for remarkably prompt and efficient action on the part of the fire department, the house would have been burned down.
 Insurance to the amount of five hundred dollors was car ried on the home. This would not replace the furniture.
 The cause of the fire is un- known, but it is thought that it may have started from some defect in the electric wiring.

A LION HUNT

The day was we'll advanced
 when we picked up our first scent of lion. We held most of our dogs in leash while two of our most dependable hounds scurried about in the under brush. / All of the fellows were eager for the scent for we had not found big game for a num- Der of days. When Bruce and Togo, who were in the brush, finally hit scent, they let out a below that made the Sit greaves echo. To say that we had difficulty in unleashing the remainder of the pack does not half portray their eagerness to be away.
 I was new at this hunting game and knew not how to pro ceed. was for spurring my mount to top speed in pursuit of the pack, but managed to con- trol myself and watched Am prose. Instead of following at breakneck speed as was my impulse, he trotted his horse after the dogs for but short way, then stopped and listened, while casting his eyes about in quick survey of the land scape.
 ''No den for cat up that way" he remaked, more to him self than to me- Must have fol- lowed a deer trail. Must have ! come from over there," Gndi- i eating rocky hill to the east i ward.) Then to me, we bet ter cut across this way"
 He led off at a trot and I fol- lowed. We had travelled for a short distance, when he turned to me and remarked, That's a warm 'un. Tell by Togo's first bellow.' i

There has been some little misunderstanding on the pa~+ of some as to the manner in which these lights we're purchased A rumor has been afloat that they would eventually be paid for by the tax payers. The above should relieve any such misimpressions. The morev was collected and the lights purchased by the Williams Cor nn,' -cial Club. They have now been donated tu t!:e city. The only expense to tce city has been a part of the expense of installing. The city will now undertake to supply the cleo trlcliy and meet -he upkeep.

A PROCLAMATION Designating Thursday, Novern- Der 25, 1920, as ThanLsgiv- ing Day.

ing Day.
 Three hundred years ago, or a bleak New England shore there gathered a band of P1l- grims. to render thanks to the ! Almighty for the harvest that had been gathered. The day of Thanksgiving thus inaugur- ated had annual observance within the northwestern Amer1- can colonies and has had nat ionaI recognition since 1863. It is based upon the harvest fest ivaI common to all peoples, a day selected especially for the offering to Omnipotence of thanks for the natural bountles through which life is sustained. I The Puritans gave thanks that their reaping had assured food for the coming winter, and that their lives had been spared in their struggles with the sur rounding Indians. In his is suance of the first national Thanksgiving Day proc1ama- tion, Lincoln was moved by gratitude for a period of sue cess at arms that assured the winning of the war between the States. Today, our Nation, two years removed from the victorious ending of the great est war of history, is moved by thankfulness for mercies through which it's independ- ance and it's peoples rights have been retained.
 Conditions of reconstruction are gripping the people of Ariz- ona. For extraneouS reason, their products are finding slack demand in a time when high
 ,aintenance costs are known. But, beneath this surface show ing, can be found much for which gratitude can be expres- sed. For the year past our State has enjoyed peace in, full lest measure. Industrial dis turbance has been unknown nor has there been loss by epidemic or storm Mines and farms 1 and factories have been operat- ed without hindrance, Develop ment has been unchecked and i faith in the States future never | was stronger or more firmly | based. Our people, with se- rene confidence in the destiny of their Nation and in their own are turning toward ac- complishment of their new tasks and are restoring the bal ance the war had unsettled.
 NOW, THEREFORE,, I, THOMAS E. CAMPBELL, Gov ernor of Arizona, in pursuance of honored custom. and in de- ference to proclamation of the President of the United States, do hereby designate Thursday, November twenty fifth, ninteen hundred twenty. as day of THANKSGIVING for blessings enjoyed and of prayers to, God for contin- lance of national liberties, and for the upbuilding of patriotic character among the people.
