GOING AGAINST THE CURRENT

A man must choose, again and again.

bout with him and spills him. whether
he will stop right there or whether he
will get up and 90 on.
How a he quit and retain his self
respect? How a he give up and
keep faith with his fellows? If he
does not carry on and play his part,
he only shifts to the shoulders of some
n else his bit of the general burden.
Anyone can keep a boat going with
the current; the test of strength and
stamina comes in the rowing upstream.
Adversely always brings out the essen
tial of character. In fair weather a
weakling wears a shining face, for his
vlsage merely reflects the sun; but
the strong man keeps right on smiling
When the day is foul, for the optimism
is of his oWn making, and it does not
come and go according to the weather.
Some men are always smitten by a
pang Of jealousy at the news of an
others success in a place where they

more to the point, if they studied the
reasons for the other fellows victory
and read to themselves a lesson from
an examination of their own defeat.
But, no post-mortem is profitable
unless it leads straight to a decision
to try nee more. 1t will do no good
whatever to sit grieving. The busy
world rushes on; it has not the time
to give ear to a hard-luck story
though in cases of acute distress it's
heart is far from hard, and its SYM
pathy is touching and magnificent.
But, it expects a strong mar to

The rewards go to those who keep
at it. All history is studded with SAM
Piles of those who were v~alorous and
persistent; and for whom the tide
turned at last. These were the fell
lows who refused to become broken
and dispirited. They would not be

DlGGERS TURN UP TREASURE
sewer Workers Find Collection Of
Rings and Watches in a Bos-
ton Slime Pit.

Boston.-A gang quit work at
noon the other day with a valuable
treasure trove. In the slime of an
old pit near the Quincy house they
had found three gold rings, coins,
watches and other valuables.
Hotel employees suggested that the
MOTEL had u claim on the articles. as
the property probably of guests of by
gone days. The police suspected that
they We're part of the loot of thieves.
But when the men showed coins dat
ing back TO 1897, stamped with a pine
tree on II side and Massachusetts"
on the other, they insisted that the
statute OF limitations made the prop
erty theirs.
With the ancient coins they found
beer checks, which the foreman of the
gang said he intended to keep with

OF the past. The foreman estimated
that the deposit of mud in which the
valuables We're found had not been dis
turbed in 70 years.

DIPHTHERIA

The old terror of the home, the des-

Swiftness and brings dismay and grief
is rearing its ugly head again in the
land. DIPHTHERIA. Diphtheria, the
dreadful.
The use of anti-toXins brought the
diphtheria death rate down during the
last twelve years from the 60 and 10
percentages to as low as 8 and 10 per
cent. And. at that, most Of those who
died We're the victims of slow diagnosis
or total failure to apply the saving

In 1919 the diphtheria death rate in
the United States was la. In 1910

Irrigation Hopes.

We have seen so much favorable
comment in the press of the state from
leading citizens of Montana that we
are warranted in INDUCING the hope
that the Legislature will take some
steps toward supply irrigation to
our W dear beloved Montana. How
ever ever though We may be reckon
ing without our host, there is no doubt
but what the people at home are more
IN favor of irrigation now than they
eVer have been before. We get splen-
dld news from all quarters of the
state that irrigation districts are being
formed. surveyors employed and thus
put us in hopes of bonding the districts
TO get water on the land. But few
sections will be able to do what is pro-
posed unless the lawmakers come to
the rescue in some method of offering
security to the bond investor.-Rocky

less the health officers everywhere are
watchful and act d~ecisively, it is very
probable that the conducive weather
of the present. months may bring a
widespread outbreak Of this fearful
disease in 1922.
The people of Glasgow are urged
to take no chances with the grim des-
troyer. An open winter is always a
period of sickness and prevalent cpl
demic. Don't attempt to diagnose your
own ailments. At the first appear
ance of throat ailment, get a physi-
clan at all hazards, and at the earliest
opportunity. Doctors are criminals
who will take chances with diphtheria
in the air. When in doubt anti-toxin
should be administered. 1t is always
better to be SURE than sorry.

MANS JOB

"It isn't the work we intend to do,
Nor the work we've just begun,
That puts us right on the ledger;
It's the work we've really done.
"Our credit is built on things we do,
Our debit on things we shirk-
The man who totals the biggest
score
Is the man who completes his work.
Good intentions do not pay bills;
It's easy enough to plan;
To wish-is the play of an office boy;
To dds the job of a man."

Cooperative Marketing.

Whenever farmers meet these days,
whether it be in the East or in the

uppermost in the minds Of all is that

some tangible plans that will work

Too Many Counties.

A bill to be introduced by Senator
Hazelbaker would provide a means of
relief for the residents of these new
counties by permitting them to attach
themselves to an adjacent county or
return to the mother county. We do
not know the provisions of the bill but
should say that these prodigal sons of
the commonwealth should first be
compelled to pay the expense of their
little flyer in self-government before
being permitted to return home in
sackcloth and ashes. 1t certainly is
time to call a halt, for this new county
craze is due largely to politicians
whose chief object is the distribution
of patronage which benefits the tax

Williams news., 1921-06-17
Have You a House to Rent? ?

With the return of summer comes that annual cry for more houses to rent. Many people come to Williams, desiring to spend the summer in our de- lightful climate, and are disap- pointed because they cannot find houses to live in for the summer. Consequently many of them go elsewhere, after a few days spent in an unsuc- cessful attempt to locate here.
 Is there not some way in which this problem may be met? Cannot some good citi- zen devise a light house for summer use that will be pay ing investment even tho it re- main idle for several months of the year-a summer house?
 It would pay any man in bus mess in Williams to invest a few hundred in the building of such houses, even though he re- ceived but a very small rate of interest on his investment. In creased business as the result of increased population in the town would make the invest ment pay. Each visitors gro cery and supply bill would na- turally far exceed his rent.
Williams news., 1921-06-17

1 fore Williams can grow mater
 tally. That is the problem of securing an adequate supply of good water for the town for use in summer.
 Several plans for the secur- ing of such a water supply have been suggested. There is the proposal that a very large res ervoir be constructed above the present municipal dam. If this were large enough to impound all of the water that normally flows down this canyon the sur plus supply would easily tide over such years of scant rain fall, as the present year. How ever, the cost of such a reser- voir would run far into the tens of thousands, and that renders such a proposition impractical ble for the town of Williams without aid from the Santa Fe poration or individual.
 Another plan which has been under consideration is that of piping water from Big Springs. This should give the city an am- pie supply of good water. but here again the cost would be prohibitive as far as the city is concerned, without the aid of outside financial help.
 Another proposal is, that other wells be developed to assist the present city reservoir. It is argued that one or two good wells developed in. the nearby surrounding country would keep the city supplied with good well water during all ordinary years and that by con- serving the water in the muni- cipal reservoir, thru the use of

we'll water as far as possible, the city would then have an ample supply for all purposes.
 At present the town is being supplied with water from the city we'll. This water is of good quality and is not affected by hot weather. If this supply could be doubled, the city would not need to draw on the dam except in case of fire. or in case of an extended drouth.
 Manager Hudson estimates that the town would use about 100000 gallons more of water each day if people were per mitted to use it freely for wa tering lawns and gardens. If
