CELEBRATE

This year of all years is the
 time for Williams to celebrate
 the Fourth. The town that can
 pull off a real celebration in the
 present inauspicious times is necessarily a live town. Enter tainment is needed more on year like the present, than it is in years of ease and plenty. A big celebration on the Fourth will help to relieve peoples tension, will remind them that we have the greatest nation on Earth and will renew their faith and courage, for meeting the trying days still ahead. It will also strengthen the pub- lies faith in Williams, and by adding amusement and so- ciability will make all more content to make Williams their permanent home. Prove your faith in the town and demon strate to the public and to wis itors that their presence here is desired and their custom ap-

The water storage in Will Hams has become so acute that lawns, gardens, and newly planted trees are being sacri- ficed in order to conserve water. Without the most string ent conservation. the present supply may soon be exhausted and there may not be sufficient even for drinking purposes. Some water users have had their water cut off because they insisted on watering their gardens. While it is regret table to think that the gardens must go thirsty, yet the person who persists in using water for anything but necessary pur- poses, under the present emer- gency, should forfeit his right to use water at all.
 We can live without the gar dens but we cannot live with out drinking water. Are you saving every drop of water that you can !? If not you are hastening the day when you and others may be forced to go thirsty.

THE SALT IN THE SEA

The saline matter in the ocean is sufficient to make block of salt measuring 4, 800, GOO cubic miles. If spread over the entire surface of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, it would form a crust more than mile and half deep. One per cent of the content of salt in the ocean would cover all the land area of the globe to depth of 29O feet.-United States Geological Survey.

Williams has the location the climate and the natural advantages that should make it the metropolis of Northern Arizona. 1t only remains for the business men and citizens with a real interest in the town to get together and keep pull ling together, for a few years.
 Determined cooperation will bring Williams into her own.
 A little example of our natur- al advantages is shown in the recent selection of the Williams Aviation field by army officers, in preference to cations for such a field offered by other towns along the Santa Fe.
 These officers speak of the Williams field as second best in the state.
 Given cheap electrical pow CT, Arizona wool and other pro- ducts will be turned into finish ed prducts within the state in stead of being shipped across the continent to find mills, and then shipped all the way back again for us to wear and use. There is a great day ahead for Arizona, provided even small part of the states natural re- sources are turned to the fnan- cial betterment of Arizona, in full instead of in but small part.

WHEN SHE GOES MOTORING

What will she wear when she goes au-
tomobiling2
The reason for the ride will govern
this And of course she wants to wear
the correct thing. She is sure to feel un-
comfortable if she feels that she is not
wearing the correct thing.
A long trip over hot and dusty country
roads, through unfamiliar territory where
one is uncertain as to accommodations,
long, linen buster, is what she should
wear. The buster is built on comfortable
lines and so will not crush the summer
tinery which it conceals. The collar fit
ting closely around the neck keeps out
the dust and grim of the travel. The
sleeves also fit snugly, being neatly in
place with elastic bands. The coat is
plenty long, SO that her skirts will be
we'll covered, protected from grease and
from dusty roads. Then when the desti-
nation is reached, it means just taking off
her buster and beneath, 10, she is clean
and well groomed. Wells, thin, but of
close texture which are of enough length
to wind about the hat, around the neck
and across the face, if desired, are old
standbys for dusty automobiling.
But again, if the journey is to lead over
we'll oiled macadam roads, where dust is
unknown, then she C n wear her pretti-
est and feel that the dangers for soiling
are lessened. The bright colored sweat
ers and the Jersey capes which promise
to be so popular, this coming summer,
are the best ever for motoring. They do
not wrinkle and assume untldlness due to
long sitting. And then, again, a sweater
is so much easier to cleanse, than cloth
wraps.
A hat that will stay on-that is the
plea she makes when she is selecting one
for motoring. Half the Joy of the road
and the scenery is taken away if she has
to hold onto her hat and worry and won
der how much longer she can stand it
with her arm raised so tiringly in the air.
And one that doesn't need hatpins is an
addition to the plea. Close fitting hats,
made of pliable straw, that will jam down
onto the head and still give the hair
plenty of room in the crown are boon
to her, when she goes automobiling.
Where she is going and in what kind of
a car she travels has everything to do
with what she will wear.

AN ovRRtlANGING CLOUD.

Over all negotiations looking towards
such wage readjustments as win enable
the railroads to live and meet the coun-
try's transportation demands, there hangs
the apparently fixed purpose of certain
railroad labor leaders to throw the road
BACK into the hands of the Government.
One OF these leaders is the chairman of
the Plumb Plan League. Others are mem
Ders OF that organization and ardent apos-
Ties OF the Socialistic doctrines it repre-
sents. If the Plumb Planners are less
vociferous than they were little while
ago, they are none the less firm in the
10 such as these, all overtures towards
wa &c compromises would fall upon deaf
cars Their objective is not to save the
Ioaos from bankruptcy, but to plunge
.hem into It, 1t is chaos they wish to
Drine about, chaos from which there
can oe no emergence save by Govern
ment seizure and operation of the roads.
IN otner words, restoration of the glo-
rlous McAdoodle DAYS.
And looming large behind these aspira-
tlons is the Plumb Plan League ready and
organized to take over the Job. Let the
PUBIC Duy the railroads, make a present
OF them to the labor unions, pay sky
scraper wages and make up the billion or
SO annual deficits by loading them on the
patent backs of the long-suffering, mar
liculate tax payers. That is the Great
flumb Plan 1dea-in full effulgence. 1t
Is line program, and in its promotion the
labor union radicals who are behind it,
are no doubt temporarily in position to
derail movements towards readjustments
and to burn the bridges over difficulties.
but, even so, all is not plain sailing for
these obstructionists by a good deal By
and large, the railroad men of the coun-
try are not Socialists. Still less are they
red radicals. They are good, overhead
ed American citizens with homes of their
own and families of their own. Further
more, they are, as group, men of ex-
cepbonal intelligence and sense of re-
sponsibility. They are not men to refuse
to bear their part of the ostburden of
readIustment to normal conditions which
all the rest of their fellow -countrymen
are compelled to stagger under. Some
of them may be led by radical dema-
gogues into the PIumb-Plan land of
dreams, but the saving common sense of
the vast majority may be safely counted
upon to keep them out of it.-Harvey' s
Weekly.

VERY FEW WILL BE DROPPED
Legionnaires Are Rushing to Pay 1921
Post Dues; Many New Members
Being Added.

The 10000 post adjutants Of the
American Legion, according to reports
reaching national headquarters from
all over the country, are finding them
selves now in the busiest weeks of the
years as regards work.
The rush of Legionnaires to get In
their 1921 post dues within the time
limit set, with the penalty of being
dropped from membership, if delin-
quent after that date, piled necessary
clerical and other detail work onto
the shoulders of post adjutants in an
unprecedented manner.
To judge by the returns thus far
available, the list of men to be dropped
from membership for non-payment of
their 1921 post dues within the speci-
fed time will be only a small fraction
OF the Legion and will be more than
offset by the thousands of new mem
bers already obtained in the member
snip drives Of various departments.

WHEN TO WEAR THE UNIFORM
Former Service Men Inclined to Be
Too Modest In Appearing In
Army Toys.

Former service men are too modest
to appear In uniform on special occa-
sions, according to a letter from a
member of the American Legion.
The letter follows:
"Armistice day brought with 1t some
new revelations of viewpoint on the
wearing Of the uniform at ceremonies
and celebrations. and, inasmuch as in
the future we must confront the prob
lem time after time, l believe the
question should be settled now, one
way or the other. 1 am neutral on the
subject and am willing to do as the
bunch does.
Since their discharge the majority
of both officers and enlisted men have
shown more than little hesitancy in
putting the uniform back on for special
occasions. The true spirit of the Le-
gion is not manifest in any parade
when the majority of the men appear
in civilian clothes and handful march
in uniform. On such occasions the uni
formed man is in an embarrassing pO-
sitiOn, and he VOWS: Never again.
think modesty is responsible for most
mems preference for 'civvies' on formal
occasions, but know that some argue
that they do not want to be in uniform
with bunch of men wearing officers
uniforms and insignia.
Il am sure there is not an ex-officer
in the Legion who would not willingly
discard his insignia if it operated as a
barrier to harmony. But lets have a
standard rule-either civvies or uni

out OF all proportion to it's low cost.
Each week it demonstrates the tested
methods of successful farmers. 1t
comments in unmistakable terms on
what happens in the dark between
producer and consumer; and points
clearly to the benefits derived from
turning on the light. It stands four
square behind every farmers organi-
cation that operates for agricultural
welfare. Its Washington representa-
tive keeps you in touch with new or
proposed laws and their effect on your
