AN IMPORTANT COMMITTEE

One of the most important steps taken at the meeting of the. Williams Commercial Club last week Thursday, was the appointment of az cultural committee. This is standing com mittee and will be expected to work turnout the year in furthering the agricultural development of the farm lands about Williams.
 What Williams and vicinity needs most of all is MORE PRODUCTION. Most of our indus tries are developed to nearly, their limit There is little here as yet to attract factories or to bring about development in the line of manu- featuring. Those who have looked over the sit uation unanimous in the opinion that the one industry which offers large opportunities for de- velopment in this vicinity is potato growing. The Agricultural Committee working Tn con junction with the Farm Bureau will be able to do much in accelerating the development of spud growing about Williams. There are many questions for this committee to delve into:
 What potato land is available?
 What undeveloped land is there which could grow potatoes and is yet to be opened to entry?
 What potatoes will do best here?
 What methods are best in potato culture?
 Where can additional FARMERS be found to come here and make success of spud growing?
 Where can a market be found for hundreds upon hundreds of of spuds?
 How adequate warehouse facilities be provided?
 What can the Club do to help the farmers in arranging for proper grading and standardizing of Coconno spuds?
 These and many more questions offer broad field of endeavor for the Committee on Agricul ture. The committee deserves the hearty operation of every person interested in the de- velopment of this community

In other words, he cuts away the greatest source of supply of life blood for his is scarce, surely it is obvious that it will take more coaxing to draw it from it's hiding places. In every other form of activity and industry the greater the problem. the greater the energy pended to solve it. Why, then does the age business man in times of depression, when his sales are his greatest problem, lower the from the newspaper columns and sit back grumbling at the present, .sobbing for the past and crying but faint optimism for the future.
 Buy More Space

Sometimes it does. Sometimes people recover from serious illness without medical aid advice But the chances are all on the side of the who calls for understand ing assistance.
 The right sort of a newspaper is the best friend the American public ever had or ever will have; it IS the greatest support and aid to Americas business men they will ever know. The sympathy between the business man and the local paper should be near perfect it can be made and long each side asks for and expects only those things that common justice allows, the union will be mutal support whose value is limitless.

SHALL WILLIAMS PAVE FOLD TRAILS''
 ROUTE THRU THE TOWN?

This is one of the big questions efore the citizens and taxpayers of the town, today. Fed eral road money is available to meet 61 per cent of the cost. 1t looks tho any town that is large enough to encorporate should be able to pave it's main street when that be done at but little over third of the usual cost.
 A paved road thru the main business section of town is worth great deal aside from the advantage that comes from attracting tourists to the main business section. Among these advant- ages are the elimination or mud and dust and the low cost of upkeep compared with that of maintaining a cinder capped street
 But the property owners along this route be expected to bear all of the expense not met by federal aid? In the cost might be excessive. Some means of equaliznz the burden in proportion to advantages derived needs to be worked out

The local newspaper like the local fire oe- partment, police department and board or health, is accepted institution by the American public which must do it's work, serve all interests, ignore danger, know no sleep ac- institution that must give it's wares, l. e.. it's columns upon the slightest pretext to the aid tinge of charity, civic advancement, social welfare. In the same breath it is called upon uphold the courts and to watch them, to support church and liberalism, to befriend the helpless and uphold property rights, to be always right and to be super-human in it's swift gathering and presentation of news. Like the municipal de- partments mentioned it receives few thanks for doing it's duty but bitter attacks for the errors that, being but of human energy, are sure to ar1se.1
 A Matter of Foil
 No who has not been active in the ma king of newspaper has faint idea of the toll and the energy, the sacrifice, and the heart in terest that goes into every issue of every paper in every city in America. Few have any idea of the enormous expense that must be met of the problems that arise from a clear sky and must be settled without instant's hesitation, problems often whose wrong settlement n1ipht fortune if not ruin. The newspaper is as living thing, pulsing, warm, keenly alive, as any man-made product can ever be- come, as delicate as a web and strong steel cable.

 When Need Arises
 But should a matter arise wherein the busi- ness man feels the need of his paper, should his lodge his club or his church desire to give an entertainment, should his telephone bill be too high, his treatment by the policeman unkind his milk too thin, his children too little taught in school, his political party too dormant-ah, !, Then he runs to his local paper for support for aid and comfort.

THAT MANKIND SHOULD BE FREE

Justo Cordova, The Only Soldier fir
 Hams, Arizona, Killed in the World With smile upon their lips,
 And jest upon their tongue, They bade us each a last farewell,
 And to their duty sprung. In pulsing life they went away From homes of peace and ease To scenes of carnage, blood and strife
 Across the deadly seas. There, gasping, Liberty then lay l In ambitions fell embrace; The precious jewels that she wears
 Might sought to efface. Freedoms far-fung battle line
 Moved backward day by day; The rushing Hun grew haughtier,
 And in triumph swept his way. England's back was 'gainst the wall, Frances body bled to white, Italian courage spent it's force, But still kept up the fight! Dark and dar ker grew each hour As closer pressed the foe lO God of Hosts, be with us now,
 Avert the awful blow! Suddenly where Thierry's towers Rise majestically in air, A starry banner was unfurled,
 Sending courage everywhere. Back the halted foe was driven
 Across the Marne once more, Never again his foot to trespass
 On it's Hateful shore! From Belleau Wood and Saint Mihiel
 To the Argonne's rocky bed, Everywhere that banner shone The German turned and fled! Until at last no vandal foot
 Stood on that ravished plain; The conquered foe laid down his arms,
 And peace reigned once again. Then they brought them back to us,
 Their armor laid aside, And as we grasped them by the hand
 We felt thrilling pride A pride in their achievement
 Fulfi1lment of our trust For Autocracy's ambition
 Had been leveled with the dust. What homage can we show to them,
 What honors now bestow! Entwine the laurel round their brow,
 And let each soldier know That in all future ages when
 A sire cites ValOr to his son, He will read from history's pages
 Of the victory they won. And some there were who ne'er returned
 To home fires burning bright, But on the fields of France remained
 Beneath the stars at night. The feur-de-lis was kind to them But now we claim wars richest spoil
 The ashes of our brave. Home to the sunshine of their land,
 Free from all earthly toll, We tenderly lay them now away
 Beneath their native soil While through our tears and sorrow
 This epitaph we see: They died on fields of glory
 That mankind should be free. Williams, Arizona.
