.sPAY YOUR BILLS WEEK.
 BEGINNING MAY 22ND 1922

Next week, beginning May 22nd. will be Pay Your Bills' week in Williams and over the state generally. The purpose of this special cam pa1gn IS to start wave of bill paying through out the community Any man must collect what IS due him in order to pay what he owes someone else The failure of one to pay in turn prevents someone else from paying. If each one will make a special effort to pay next week. each in turn will receive payments which will enable him to make more payments.
 It is hoped that this special week will heln fo induce all to make special effort to pay off a. many bills as possible. Each person receiving a payment is asked to pass the payment on in the payment of other bills. One thousand dollars kept moving in this way turnout the week will pay oH many thousands of dollars in debts
 The pay-up idea is a good one and should re- ce1ve the hearty support of the entire com nunlty. Don't say you can't pay, for if you trv fard enough you can manage few payments at least If each person pays off all that he can each 1n turn will receive payments from others which will enable him to make additional bay ments. Get behind the movement and make it a success. ~

MANS CONCERT COM
 PANY PLEASES
 LARGE AUDIENCE

Mans Concert Company of the Northern Arizona Normal at Flagstaff gave a most interest ing program last Friday night at the Sultana. This concert company is under the direction of MT. Ridgely, head of the violin department at the Nor mal. The work of the chorus was particularly good as they all sang with rythm and feel ing. Needless to say they were charming to look at. The violin numbers by MT. Ridgely were beautifully played, the G Minor Sonata of Grieg's being seldom heard in it's entirety.
 The readings by Miss Dewey added a very pleasing variety to the program and were thor oughly appreciated. The gipsy dance by the Misses Catherine Beckwith and Lucretia Me Mullen was very graceful and. captured the heart of the audience immediately.
 Prof. McMullen, president of the Normal, is to be highly commended for adding music to his curriculum.
 The entertainment cleared $36 for the athletic fund of the Williams school. Come again Flagstaff Normal. We like to see and hear you.

DOINCS THE COUNTRY

Walter Thomasson built the first silo in this part of the country. Walter and his son, Arthur, are going to build three more silos this summer, ranging in capacity from 50 to 125 tons. Two of them will be built on Arthur's and one on Walters ranch in Red Lake Valley.
 w. O. Basham and Al Cook are going to build two siloS on the Basham ranch this summer. Thinos are certainly moving in Red Lake.
 The silo is the thing for the stockman. With the lack of adequate winter range for stock in this part of the country, it is now, and will become more so in the future, a question of winter feeding. The si1o will be looked to more and more for the supply of feed to fatten the cattle for the winter market or to ie hem over until the spring feed starts again
 Mrs. Claude Thomasson and her sister, Miss Minnie Miller are building on an additional room and porch to their house, and are doing good work. They are working both the hammer and saw overtime. People who think that women folks can't do good carpenter work should just take a look at the work being done by Mrs. Claude Thomasson and her sis ter on the house in Red Lake Valley. Miss Miller is from Los Angeles, and is spending the summer with her sister, Mrs. Thomasson.

WHO IS GOING
 ID STOP THEM?

With the lineup, which, III comparison with the regular one, bore the same appearance a 1914 map of Europe bears to that of 1922, Williams met the Needles team at Cureton Park
 before one of the largest crowds ever assembled there last Sunday
 The Avalos Band was again on hand and discoursed some good music. We are anxious ly awaiting the appearance of this organization in uniform. We predict it will make a splendid appearance. In the meantime, in order that the band may be afforded the best of facilities, why can't some of our public spirited citizens with the consent of the city council-move the old band stand from the race track to the ball park, and place 1t to the east of the grand stand? With a little wirk on it the old stand could be made to serve this useful purpose.
 As for the game, as far as games go, it wasn't much of a contest. Even with Williams make-shift lineup, Needles found a base ball team. Ow- ing to the absence of both Cooke and O'Hara, who are in California on a vacation, Cap tian Shaul came in to short and young Raymond Rupe covered first, but later in the game was superseded by Pritchard, of Ash Fork, who had been invit- ed to play, but was late in ar irving. Taber took Shauls place in right, and played good game.
 The game opened with Needles at bat. Phelps, the first man up, struck out. Mick sell hit a mean grounder to- ward first. It was far to the right of first base, but Rupe nailed it and found Humphreys waiting to receive the throw at first. It was a pretty play, and showed the good work of Rupe and the quick thinking O1 I1uIu pIlIOyS, WHO I0dIIZOO that even should Rupe get the hit, he could not recover in time to beat Micksell to first. So Humphreys covered first and received Rupe's throw just in time to nail the runner. Fox the next man up, struck out. It was at this point that every body realized Roberta had that old '1eft" working, and that if Needles showed anything strong on the mound and in the field, we were going to see a real ball game.
 Such, however, was not to be the case. Williams came to the bat and by consistent hit ing and three errors in success sion by Salsman on third for Needles, piled up five runs. i From this point on all interest in the game subsided, although some good work was done by both teams at intervals. Rob erta simply toyed with his friends from down on the Colo

custody of his son. In the will he says
he went with the boy to Asheville, ". c.,

tradition proceedings in Sacramento to
get the boy. Mrs. Barrett disappeared
with her son in the midst of the pro-
ceedings and no trace of them has since
been found.
The will provides that the executors
shall be guardians of his son and they
are enjoined from permitting Mrs. Bar
rett TO have custody of the boy.
