Takes Less Capital.
1t is stated that the production of
the corn crop is financed with less
borrowed capital than is the case with
other staple farm crops. The reason
for this is that the farmers income is
distributed turnout the year more
evenly than is the case in many other
sections. and because the direct in
vestment in the crop consists more of
the farmers own labor and less of
purchased material and equipment
than is the case in many other crops.

thru congressional Representatives
from the department, contains much

ERIE M. POISON OUT
 FOR REPRESENTATIVE

Erie M. Poison, one of the proprietors of the White Ga rage, and a member of the town council is out for the republi- can nomination for State Rep resentative. This announce ment will be received with much favor by Williams people who are confident that Erie, if nominated and elected, will look we'll to the interests of his home county. He needs no introduction to News readers, but the following taken from the Coconino Sun will be of in- terest as an indication of the esteem in which he is held in our sister town:
 3tErle M. Poison, of Williams, announces his candidacy for state representative and his name will be on the primary ballot in September.
 "Erle is the son of F. O. Pol son, one of the oldest residents of Williams and at one time representating that end of the county as supervisor. He was born in Williams some thirty years ago and has always made Williams his home. He grad uated from the Williams school and finished his education at a Kansas college. Erie is owner and manager of the White Garage at Williams and one of the most popular young men in the west end of Coco nino County. His friends, in urging his candidacy, say he is a level-headed young man with good judgement and has a thorough working knowledge of the legislative needs of the county. His sole ambition is to do the things which will be in the best interest of the whole people of the county and spec lal privileges to none.
 "His many Flagstaff friends are convinced that Poison will deliver the goods and be on the job for his constituents night and day if necessary. He is a live wire, energetic, with abil- ity to make and keep friends. He is an ex-service man with a good war record"

EX-RAHROAD ENGINEER
 OUT FOR SHERIFF

Frank H. Patton, an old time railroad engineer, is out for the republican nomin ation for Sher- if. Mir. Patton has been a resident of this county for the past thirty years, during which time he has been engaged chiefly in ranching and farm ing.
 The struggle of the railroad men with the rail chiefs today, refreshes his memory of the days of '94 when his career as a railroad engineer was wound up by the strike then called. He has a deep sympathy for the railroad men in their fight for living conditions.
 MT. Patton feels that any man who has ridden in a cab for as many years as he did is sure to be on the alert. He has not yet enjoyed the luxury of eating at the county crib as a county official for this is his first try for public office. He wants the voters to understand too, that he is not looking for life hold on the office if elected sheriff. His many friends be- Heve that he will give a good, honest and economical admins tration if elected.
 An amusing and some say significant incident hap pened on the streets Wednes- day while MT. Patton was walk ing along in company with s. O. Miller. The little French-Jew evangelist who was preaching on the streets of Williams Wednesday morning, stepped up to MT. Patton and inquired, "You're the sheriff aren't you?" MT. Pattonn replied that he had not won that distinction as yet. "Oh, but you must be-" replied the little woman, flor you look just like one".
 s. O. insists that Patton won't need to wear a star in order to let the public know he is sheriff, after he is elected. Sam, who is another old time railroad engineer, is boosting MT. Patton's campaign in Williams, and says that he is glad to fire for Frank and help him to get up steam for his big run on the railway which leads to the Court House.

CONCERNING POSTS

Dr. w. H. Long, Plant Patho- logiSt cooperating with the For est Service, has been working for some years on the highly important problem of dura bill ity of posts. After long and painstaking observation, pr. Long has just announced his conclusion as to the durability of green unpeeled oak. His findings on this question are of great importance not only in Forest Service improvement work, but in the much larger volume of work done both on and off the Forest by stockmen and other interests. Dr. Longs summary of his findings is as follows:
 "For two years the writer has been making a study of the durability of green unpeeled oak posts under actual field tests. Fences, ranging in age from 5 to 30 years were exam ined. These fences were in New Mexico and Arizona and at attitudes of 45OO fit. to 82OO fit. Three species of oak were included in this investigation viz., Gambel oak, Arizona oak, and Emory oak. The greatest number of posts tallied, how ever, were Gambel oak. Fences were checked at Flagstaff Pres colt, and Oracle, Arizona, and at Cloudcroft and near Albu- querque, New Mexico. Each individual post was tallied as to size and condition, also soil, altitude, age, exposure and time of year the posts were cut were noted when such data were available" (Gambel oak is the common species of oak within the Tusayan National Forest).

A Message to Drivers of Auto mobiles and Other Persons Who Use Highways Crossing Railroads at Grade.

Under the auspices of the American Railway Association 6 nation wide campaign is un- der way which is known as a Careful Crossing Campaign. The slogan is Cross Crossings Cautiously. The object is to save human life, and there is consequently a human appeal to this undertaking that should find immediate response in the hearts and minds of every in habitant the country over.
 Approximately eighteen hun dred persons are killed on rail- road grade crossings through out the county each year and in round numbers approximately five thousand sustain painful and crippling injuries. In the last thirty years the. country's population has increased only 6S per cent, while fatal cross ing accidents have increased 345 per cent and injury cases have increased 652 per cent. Just about 75 per cent of the persons killed and injured in these deplorable railway cross ing accidents are occupants of

STATE REPRESENTATIVE
 WOULD BE SENATOR

s. B. Gilliland, state repre- sentative from Coconino Coun- ty at the recent session of the Legislature, is out for the Re publican nomination for State Senator. MT. Gilliland defen- ded the interests of Coconino County before the legislature in a way that has made his friends desirous of seeing him sent to the Senate.
 MT. Gilliland is an old time resident of Coconino County and he has long been intimately connected with public affairs in this part of the state. He is we'll known to all the older residents of Williams and vicin- ity and desires to make the acquaintance of later corners. Those who meet him for the first time are impressed with his keen interest in the welfare of Coconino County and with the fire and enthusiasm with which he champions the cause of every institution which will help to build up this country. There is no doubt but he will make an able and alert member of the Senate if the voters send him there.
 MT. Gilliland has served as Justice of the Peace in Flag staff precinct for the past few years and has made very enviable record for his fearless but just administration of the law while serving in that capac- lty. He has Q host of friends who confidently expect to see him back in the State Capitol at the next session of the 1egis- lature.

WILLIAMS NOW HAS
 END. CLASS P. O.

The prosperity and growth of Williams despite the general financial depression over the U. s. A., is attested by the rat ing of Second Class recently given our local Post Office. It is also gratifying to know that the Post Office went over by a wide margin. This means that there will be no set back later. We are second class for good. Postmaster Poison is to be congratulated for keep ing the business of the Office on the up grade.
 Placing the local Post Office on the list of Second Class of fees provides two good jobs for assistants at good pay and that is an added benefit to the community as we'll as to the faithful assistants at the office. The knockers who would try to make out that Williams is not growing and prospering are finding their way increasingly difficult. The spirit of pro gress is alive in the town and more achievements of prosper ity will mark the course of the next few years.

PROCTOR & WADE
 BUY OUT SULTANA

Charles Proctor and Charles Wade have purchased the Sul- tana Theatre and Pool Hall from R. M. Reese. The new owners will go under the firm name of The Sultana Theatre Company. They took posses sion August 11th.
 Charles Proctor is one of Will liams' promising young busl- ness men. He has been clerk at the Santa Fe freight office for a number of years and was elected as a member of the town council at the last election. "Proc" is also an excellent ball player and his expertness be- hind the bat and. at the bat have undoubtedly spread his fame farther than his other very creditable activities. While this is his first venture in the new business which he has un- dertaken, he will undoubtedly pick up the business rapidly and become as competent there as he has been in the freight of fee. His popularity will be a good asset at the Sultana.
 Charles Wade has been en- ployed at the Sultana pool hall for some time and was former ly one of the proprietors of the Parlor Barber Shop and Bill Hard Hall. He has shown himself an able man in this line of business and his experience will be a great help in keeping the Sultana running along smoothly. Charlie is always congenial and a booster for everything that aids the pro- gress and prosperity of Will Hams. The public is pleased to know that he is one of the new proprietors of this busi- ness.
 Proctor and Wade make a team that would spell success in most any business and are sure to do well at the Sultana.
 MT. R. M. Reese, the former proprietor, asserts that he is going to "just rest" for a year or so. After his long term in the Sultana during which time he worked twelve to sixteen hours a day and seven days a week in serving the public, he believes he is entitled to a good rest. All of which is true enough, but his former patrons can't quite picture Raleigh Reese actually laying off for an entire year, altho he undoubted- ly needs the rest.

COLEMAN LAKE SHOULD
 NOT BE OVERLO

What would you give to have ditching done at Coleman Lake in order to turn more water into that lake? Also what would your neighbor give? We be- ieve most Williams people would be willing to contribute a little to this good cause. The work on the Coleman Lake road is now nearly completed and now is the time to have the im- provement work on the lake done. It would not cost much to increase the flow into the lake by 25 per cent. If the dam were also raised a few feet Williams would soon have one of the most beautiful lakes in Northern Arizona with good boating and fishing. That would mean that in a short time the lake would be lined with summer cottages and the summer visitors who would summer there would add much to the prosperity of the town.
 Surely Williams will not per init another season to pass without some improvement be- ing made on Coleman Lake. Why not call a mass meeting for the one purpose of getting something done on the lake this fall? What do you say? It will be worth the effort.

STRIKE HITS WILLIAMS

Williams has been firmly tied up by the strike of railway employees during the past week. The Big Four went out here last Friday and are still out at the time of going to press. It is rumored that the men have returned to work in most other divisions and it is also rumored that the men here are to return to work soon but definite informatio is lacking.
 No freight has moved thru Williams during this week and mail has been much delayed, altho one or two trains have gone thru each day for the past few days. Last Saturday and Sunday nearly three hundred passengers were fed at the Harvey House while their train was held here due to the strike. The same was true at other Harvey Houses along the line but all delayed passengers are reported to have reached their destinations, at the present time.
