PROSPERITY & OPTIMISM
 AT PARLOR BARBER SHOP

Williams and Fousha, pro- prietors of the Parlor Barber shop and billiard parlor, look confidently forward to a good year in 1921. The past year has been a prosperous one for them, with custom steadily in- creasing, and they state that all indications point to a yet better year for 1921.
 They wish to thank their many patrons for their patron age during the year just past and hope for a continuation of the same pleasant relations be- twen customers and proprietors that have existed during 1920.
 In order to better serve, and to add to the comfort of their friends, the proprietors have increased their stocks and inn proved their equipment. They have added new back bar to the soft drink section providing an attractive background for the appetizing connections of their soft drink artist, George Raumgartner. In the barber shop they have installed the very latest electrical appliances that the market offers, for inn proving their service in the ton sorial art. It can be truthfully said that one would be forced to travel far to find a better equipped shop or better work manship. Greater variety and still larger stocks have been ad- ded to the candy department, and the same progress has been made in the tobacco and soft drink sections.
 At the billiard tables the same good service coupled with the best in equipment contin- ues to delight the patrons.
 The "Butterkist" corn pop per and peanut roaster contin- ues to delight both old and young. This is one of the few machines of this type to be found outside large cities.
 Some businessmen are inclin- ed to look forward a bit pessi- mistically to 1921. but not so with Williams and Fousha. No doubt this cheerful attitude ad- ded to the courteous treatment which they accord to all, ex- plains their increasing prosper ity.

Mr. Moody English came to Williams from his Garland Prairie ranch, Wednesday, to get some freight for his wife
 When he inquired at thefreight office for freight for Mrs. M. English, he found none. He, did find some for Mrs. Ida M. Rays, however. and he decided that that would do as we'll. The freight agent objected, howev- CT and it looked as though he might go home freightless. Af- ter getting a friend or two to identify him he took the goods consigned to Miss Ida M. Kays The explanation of the inciden+. lies in the fact that Miss Ida M. Rays shipped her household. effects to Williams a short tim1 ago, consigning them to herself. While the freioht was in transit she became Mrs. Moody Eng ish. and that explains why MT. English has lost that dyspeptic and lonesome look.

LIVELY MEETING 0F
 COMMERCIAL CLUB

The Williams Commercial Club met in regular ses ion at
 the Justice of the Peace office
 on Thursday night, Jan, with. President Miller in the chair
 and a large number of mem bers present. After hearing: and approving the minutes of the previous meeting, a number
 of important matters were talk
 en up in a spirited manner.
 The report of the committee.
 appointed at the last meeting,
 to draft form of organization for the Phoenix-Grand Canyon
 Highway Association, brought
 out the fact that two attempts
 had been made to hold a meet ing of the committee, but OH neither occasion did the chair man, X. N. Sleeves, succeed in getting a quorum of the com mittee in attendance. The Judge was somewhat disgusted with the lack of interest shown in the work of the committee and asked to be relieved of his office as chairman of the com mittee.
 MT. Ed Hamilton, another member of the committee, sug- geSted that the Club then and there draft a form for the pro posed organization. After q further discussion, it was decid- ed to call a mass meeting of the Club on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 9, to consider this and other important matters. MT. Ham ilton and L. S. Williams were, appointed to draft a form of organization to submit before the Club at this meeting. The Secretary of the Club called attention to the fact that the next meeting of the Club, the first Thursday in Feb ruary, will be the time for the annual election of officers.
 MT. Hamilton called the at tention of the Club to the fact that The management of the Grand Canyon National Park is asking the legislature to pass a bill by which the State will relinquish all jurisdiction over the territory embraced in the Park.
 The suggestion was made that the Club should go on record as opposed to this measure. L. S. Williams then moved that the Supervisor of the park and those who have been opposing the measure, both be asked to inform the Club of the reasons pro and con and that these be presented at the mass meeting 
 The motion was seconded by Rittenhouse who stated that the supervisors have very little information on this natter and by securing this in sormation the Club would be ald1ng others as we'll as the ;Iub Tn gathering the inferma- ion necessary to fair judgment m such an important natter
 -After decidedly lively dis usslon the motion was put and ost by one vote.
 Mr. Hamilton then moved hat the club declare itseH as pposed to the measure and SO 1form the county's representa- i've and senator.
 This motion was seconded and arried in close vote.
 Judge Sleeves further naeved nat Tn communica ting with the eRislators, the club deeIaEe elf as anxious to cooperate In- very way possible, with fhes ark Service.
 This latter motion was car eo, after which the Club ad- burned.

 Some people are predicting a severe drought for 1921. They recall days of long ago when stock died by the thousands for want of water, and predict return of that heartrending per iod. Some say the drought of long ago, lasted for seven years and others say the period was shorter, but whether the length of the period without rain was more or less, there is no deny- ing the fact that during that time very large percent of the stock here, perished and many stockmen went bankrupt. No one wants to see a return of that day. A big snow just now would be mighty welcome and would drive away that haunt ing spectre.

MOTORS AND MOVIES

1.-THE automobiles and the silent
drama have raced to the front in pop
ular esteem" say Rolla Clymer in the
ElDorado (Kansas) Times. 1T is
doubtful if the pioneers in these bust
nesses by the use of their most Opt.
luistic imagination, would have attemp
led to forecast present conditions.
America is now making automobiles
at the rate of two billions of dollars
a year. The moving picture industry
is fifth in the nations business. Every
twelfth person in the United States
owns motor car of some sort.
There's a movie show almost in every
town, on many corners of many
towns and between blocks, too, The
country joins with the city in auto
ing in to the home of the silent
drama.
'"Fhe motor and the movie swing
along hand in hand. The pleasure of
the out-of-doors good of the auto ride
to the physical is accumulated by the
mental food of ever improving calor-
les, in the constant lettering screen
entertainment.
There's wonderful field yet ahead
for both the motor and the movie. Ex-
perts in each are doing their utmost
to give the people what they want.
They will, in all probability, succeed.
Life without a car or the movie now
adays, would lose much of it's delight,
surely"

By The Way

The proprietors of the Philbrick Gar
|age of this city recently repaired a
Ford roadster for a man from Mil
waukee, who gave his name as Cob
leigh. The car owner in taking an in
ventory of his cash on hand discov-
cred he did not have enough money
to pay for the repair of the car it
is claimed and sold it to the local
dealers.
The garage proprietors became sus-
picious of the deal however, and wrote
into Milwaukee to discover if the
owned of the auto had clear title
to the Lizzie" In the meantime pay
ment on the check for the purchase
of the auto was stopped pending in
vestigation, but a bank in Wisconsin
had already cashed it, Milwaukee au-
thorities in the meantime notified the
Baraboo dealers tina the man had a
clear title to his car.
Question, who is the more angry: the
local dealers, the car owner or the
bank that cashed the check. For the
present the bank is probably the most
but in time the matter will be ar
ranged to the satisfaction of all CON
cerned.

A man out west, by dint of saving
through half a century, accumulated
$4,000. Fellows selling stock in var
iOus companies came along and he
gave them an ear. They had various
schemes of making money rapidly and
he bought heavily, in fact up to $175,-
600, giving his notes for most of the
investments. Now he has gone into
court and asked for that guardian
be appointed for him. Poor man, he
did not awaken until too late. He was
not content with a low rate of in
terest. The average citizen cannot af-
ford to take chances; do not expect
too much, be content with small divi-
dends. Remember the mill will never
grind with the water that has passed
and also that money gone will never
bear interest.
