THE COMMUNITY
 NEEDS THE CHURCH

If there are any institutions
 in our country which pay value received to the community sure ly the churches must be includ- ed in the list. Some time ago
 a man who was not a Christian said to the writer that the churches must be allowed to go down in the community because
 ''it is getting pretty tough a. round here when there is no church."
 The life of the community is hardly safe without character The best defense our homes have is character. The best safe guard business has is char acter. The best insurance for the purity and nobility of the rising generation is character The man of noble Christian character will not enter our homes and despoil them. As every business man knows, bus mess must be built upon a foun dation of Christian character to be prosperous and safe. Furthermore no one of upright Characte will destroy the puri- ty and nobility of our young people.
 The church is the one insti- tuition that has for it's primary object the building of Christian character, the best safeguard of the community life and for that reason the community needs the church.
 There is another and purely economic reason why the conn needs the church, and that is to be found in the fact that property values increase when the church enters the com One man in a certain community where a new church. was being built voluntarily and handed the building a handsome check because of the increased value on his property. Few care to live in a churchless community because they know that the always has an uplifting on the chaFa eter of the people.-(Contributedl

WILLIAMS COMPANY
 IS NEARLY COMPLETE

The organization of the Will Hams company of the 15Sth infantry is now nearly complet-
 ed. Seven more recruits were signed up Monday night, leav- ing but eight yet to be secured Captain Linton was present at the meeting held Mondc night, but his presence will not again be required to complete the organization of the company
 Another meeting is called for Monday night, January IT. The ladies have promised to serve lunch on this occasion. Every able bodied man in Williams is invited to come out and join the company Monday night; or to bring someone else to join; or failing in this to bring his wife, or sweetheart, or some one else sweetheart. EnthuS- iasm for the company is rapidly growing and the next meeting is sure to prove the best yet.
 So far, most of the work of organization has rested upon the shoulders of few-Captain Lee and Lieutenant Proctor in particular. It is time that oth- Geographically those who are financially interested in the town should get behind the company and help it along, for they will benefit from it's organ ization far more than will those who have borne the brunt of the work so far.
 Next Monday night should see the Justice of Peace office crowded to overfiowing with Williams citizens who are inter ested in the future of the town and the welfare of the nation.

lItt 0R TWO
 OF DAYS GONE BY
Miniatures of Williams Old
 Timers JAMES RRASHEAR

Williams put IHdG Will IOCdll the memory of James BrasheaT with pleasure and amusement. He was one of. the most Orlg1na characters the town possessed. |. In addition to his naturally keen, quick-witted mind, he possessed a fair education, which had been obtained by close reading g-for he had a wonderfully retentive memory that did not permit him to for get a thing once read. He was a civil war veteran, and after leaving Williams he went to the Soldiers Home at Sawtelle, California, where quite recent ly he passed into the Great Be yond.
 The anecdotes here related are selected at random from hundreds that might be used, for there is scarcely a person in Williams who was well ac- quainted with Jim Brashear but that could relate one or more concerning him.
 O me day the late Jacob Cauf- man was standing on the corner in front of the Cabinet engaged with several friends in a discus sion of wealth. Cauffman-who was quite wealthy himself re- marked that most mems wealth was but the result of luck. Give man luck". said Jake. land mud will do for brains !' 'Mr. Cauffman", replied Bras hear as he looked up from his seat on the boardwalk nearby, "you are living exemplifiica- tion of the substantial truthful ness of your statementi''
 The New Grand Canyon Ho- tel had just been opened in Will Hams by c. E. Boyce, and among its-for those days-pa- latial equipment, was a fine bar. One morning Jim was short of change and walked into the bar and braced Boyce for an eye-opener. Boyce wasn't feel ing in the best of humor upon the occasion in question, and preemptorally refused the re- quest. After several ineff i've attempts to jolly MT. Boyce into seeing things from his point of view, and when Jim finally realized that he was up against it, he retreated to the door. pushed it open, and standing upon the portal, remarked "Boyce, you have erected here a colossal monument to your stupendous penury." Brash- ears object in retiring to and opening the door will best be appreciated when it is recalled that MT. Boyce is quite deaf. and Jim did not care to assume the risk of Boyce hearing him even by chance.
 Brashear worked on the ranches 8 great deal. His hos pltality extended alike, to strar- ger and to friend, for no one ever came to his camp and left it hungry If there was any thing there, which was usually the case. you were welcome to it. In addition to his other at tainments. Jim occasionally "drapped into poetry. On one occasion he baked a lot of bread. placed it in his bread box on the shelf, and left the following note:
 Stranger, eat this bread with
 out fear,
 For it was baked by James
 Brashear.
 When through place remain
 der on the shelf,
 That he may have some for
 himse1f.''
 If there was anything the old-time bartender disliked it was to make mixed drinks. Take Ter straight or leave Ger alone !" was one of the old say ings, and it was strictly observ- ed-unless the request came from tourist, whereupon it was complied with simply to demonstrate to the traveller that it could be done.

Surmises Were Correct

Manistee, Mich, Dec. 29- Miss Olive Vadeboncoeur en- tertained the members of her sewing club at one o'clock luncheon today, announcing the engagement of her sister, Mar guerite, and George Kimball, of Williams, Ariz. The dining room was prettily decorated in gold and white, while dolls dressed as a bride and groom formed the center-piece.-Man- istee Daily News.
 Anumber of people may now say that their surmises were correct and all are looking for ward with pleasant anticipation to the day when they may con- graduate the bridegroom and welcome the bride to Williams.
 A party consisting of MT. and Mrs. P. M. Shafer, MT. and Mrs. E. M. Ennis and Mrs. Ewing, of Grand Canyon, motored to Flagstaff Tuesday to attend a meeting of the order of the Eastern Star that night. MT. and Mrs. Ennis and Mrs. Ewing were initiated into the order. MT. and Mrs. Shafer are old members of the order.
 Mrs. Brown Entertains
 Mrs. s. G. Brown entertained last week with four tables of bridge, in honor of Mrs. Good no, mother of Mrs. Sam Snyder. The color scheme was pink and was carried out both in the dec orations and in the refresh ments. A very pleasant after noon was spent by all present.
 Messrs. T. F. Holden and B. F. Sweetwood returned, over land, from a trip to Los Ange- les, Tuesday afternoon. They made the journey both ways by automobile. They report cattle on the range both sides of Se- 1igman in unusually fine condi- ton. The young calves were sleek and full of spirits, and much of the older stuff was in such fine shape that it would do for the butcher.

If had a boy and l wanted him to be a champion I believe l would take him out to watch the following men play golf and tell him to pattern after them. First of all, should want my son to be a good wooden club player. With this in minl, the name of the great British player, Ar den, comes to my mind, but as he is in England he is too far away to be seen. Next to Arden, believe l like Bob Mcdonald and his wooden club nlay the best of all professionals. Rudy Knepper, and this may surprise you. I think has the best full swing style of any of our amateur players. I like the way Francis Ouimet drives in brassies with the qualification that I am never sure whether they are
 going to be on the court. Jesse Gull
 ford, our champion, gets great dls-
 tance. but he is always in danger on
 a fast course, where his terrifically
 hit ball keeps going deeper into
 trouble when his shots are a little off
 the line. I believe there is more
 rhythm in Ruby Knepper's strokes.
 And somehow I like rhythm because
 it is so closely related to graceful
 ness I believe that Bobby Jones is
 as fine as- long club player as there is
 swinging d club today. With his
 great strength he gets long distances
 and. as everyone knows, is greater with iron clubs than with wood. He is usually very accurate. l stood just behind the ninth green at St. Louis and waited for Bobby to play his sec ond shot from high hill very far away. saw the polished blade glaam in the sunlight A white ball outlined itself against the blue sky, and at the moment l expected to see it's strength spent I saw it sort of leap forward again for additional distance. surely
 Bobby Jones' has something extra in | his long iron shot.
 Jock as Model.
 When it comes to the half shots would like to see boy pattern after Jock Hutchison. For half shots in the air Jock has no equal He is also master of the cut shot. l am always glad when he gets around to the green. for like to see the ball pitch ing on to it.
 Of the amateurs l do not really
 know who would pick. Perhaps

DIXIE ELEVENS IN BIGGEST TILTS OF. SEASON SATURDAY
Tech Plays Pennsylvania, Vanderbilt Meets SeWanee,
 Auburn Plays Georgia

As the football season progresses the big teams in their various sec tions are being. ptted against each other more and more. and Saturday there are several major games sch ed- uled for Dixie gridirons
 The game which Is holding the at tention of southern grid fans Is the Auburn University Of Georgia bat tie, while will be staged in Colum- bus, Ga, saturday. Last year Georgia nosed out a win over the Plainsmen by one touchdown, to o. The Bull dogs have a stronger team this sea son than last, and the Georgia game Is expected to be one of the hardest on Auburns schedule.
 A Terrible Row
 . After the Georgia game, Auburn will face the necessity of meeting Centre College, Tulane and Georgia Tech. It seems almost an improssi- bility for the Plainsmen to Come through four such games as these unscrathed. but Auburn football teams have way of doing the unex- pected. No one is conceding Georgia an easy victory over Auburn, al- though the Bulldogs no doubt will be favorites Saturday afternoon.
 Georgia Tech, one ot the strongest teams in the south, goes to New York to meet the strong Pennsylvania State eleven on the Polo Grounds. Tech came through the Rutgers game last Saturday in fine shape, and it is thought that every star will be able to play against the customers Satur- day. A special train and the Georgia Tech band will go to New York to cheer the Jackets on in their strug- gle against Penn State.
 Alabama Meets l.. s. U.
 University of Alabama is meeting Louisiana State university ia New Orleans. The Crimsons are not dis couraged by their defeat by Sewanee last Saturday, and are buckling down to the task of getting in the best possible shape for the games thatNre- main on the schedule. The Crimsons are meeting such teams as L. S. U., Vanderbilt. Georgia, Mississippi A. and M. and Tulane during the re- mainder of the season.

Will Meet Shifty Logan at the Legion Boxing Show
 at Redwood

The fight between Dixis Allen and Shifty Logan at the American Legion fight festival promises to be one of the most interesting bouts on the whole programme. In this fight it will be a case of matching a man who is not only clever but also packs a terrible wallop with battler who does not pack any heavy punch but is speedy and shifty. Dixie Allen is clever ring general. and he is the owner of one of the most terrific lightweight wallops in the south. As evidence of his punching power it rmight be well to point out his first battle with Kelly. When Dixie knocked Kelly out he accomplished feat which more than score of the south's best sluggers would be overjoyed to accomplish.
 Shifty Logan also beat Kelly, but he beat the battler in different fashion from that of the slugging Dixie. Logan is much faster man

 Speeches were made Tuesday at the pep meeting by many of the foot ball squad, and every man assured the loyal packers that the team would fight until the last minute of the game.

SAILOR" BLANQUE New Orleans Boy to Meet Larry Avera at hlckWood
 Friday

A battle which promises to bring together two men who have very ef- fectively combined a hard wallop with science and speed is the scrap between Larry Avera and Blanque. Both men have been seen in action in Birmingham a number of times and from the battles that they put up here it is fairly certain thaJrwhen they meet each other it will be a harder fight than either man has been in before.
 Avera halls from Atlanta and with him he brings not only gobs of speed and cleverness but also a terrible wallop. He holds a decision over Dummy Burlington, and, while his punch is not quite up to that of the local boys, he is. far ahead of Bar rington in craftiness. This fact alone should be enough to give him the name of being very worthy foe for the New Orleans sailor.
 Blanque comes to Birmingham with speed about equal to that of Larry Avera's, and, while not quite ,on a par with the Atlanta boy in cleyerness, he is little bit in front of Avera in punching ability.
 Sizing things up from every angle, the two fighters look about evenly matched and their bout should be a thriller.

am so prejudiced on the way I Bay them that I do not think the others do it quite the right way. And yet my very light grip, wherein I use only a sense of touch for these shorter shots is absolutely worthless on rainy day. Some day they will call off golf matches as they now do tennis matches, baseball matches. football matches and every other kind of an outdoor contest when it rains terrifically hard. It may be best if only for the reason that the spectators are able to enjoy it.
 Good Chip Shot Player
 I believe Jim Barnes is the finest chip shot player in the world. Jerome Trayers used to have a distinct ad- shot just off the edge of the green.
 When it comes to putting, believe Francis Ouimet has the best style and execution. l say this in spite of the fact that he, too, has his off days l heard it said at St. Louis that he took three puts on many greens of those closing holes in his match with John ston, but he has great style and a 1 fine, bold way of hitting the ball Jerry Trayers is perhaps our great est butter
