PRISONER OF ZENDA"
 COMING!!

Tuesday, October 17th will mark an epoch in the history of the Sultana Theatre Go. long to be remembered by the people of Williams! The incident marking this phenomenal event, that wonderful Rex Ingram super-production "The Prisoner of Zenda" is one that should be witness ed by every man, woman and child in the community, one that if you fail to witness, you will always regret!
 You will all remember the marvellous effort of Rex Ingram in the product ion of t'The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and it is generally con- ceded by critics who have viewed both pictures, that in the "Prisoner of Zenda' he has equalled if not EXCELLED the wonderful work in -Four Horsemen."
 The picture is of such calibre that we were absolutely unable to pur chase it for our patrons, the only pos sible way we could secure this Master piece was on a percentage basis. A Special representative of the Metro Film Corporation of Los Angeles will accompany the picture throughout the entire state of Arizona, and he will be available at our Theatre all day Oct. 17th, to exploit the picture and give whatever information our patrons may desire. regarding it.
 To secure this wonderful picture at all, it was necessary for us to de- viate from our customary rule of ''No Change in the Price of Admission" and for this extraordinary occasion the price will be children 2S cents and adults 55 cents including War Tax, but we assure you that it will be money well spent and that you will have no cause to regret having witnessed the greatest production since the -Four Horsemen."
 REMEMBER THE DATE TUES DAY, OCTOBER 17TH.

National Forest Money
For Schools and Roads

l
 Albuquerque, New Mexico, Oct. 5. | 1922.-The sum of S69 ,54s.76 is be- i ing turned over by the Forest Service | to the Arizona state officials to be placed in the state school and road | fund, according to Frank c. w. Pool CT, District Forester, in charge of the fourteen National Forests of Arizona and New Mexico.
 Governors of 28 states have just federal law 25 per cent of the $3,- ! 421, ,531 received from timber sales, grazing permits and other sources of National Forest revenue for the past fiscal year will be distributed by the Forest Service, U. s. Department of Agriculture. These moneys are returned to states in which National Forests are located for expenditure upon schools and roads.
 An additional 10 per cent of the total receipts is spent each year by the Forest Service for the construc- ton of roads and trails witkin the Forests. This sum-for the present year amounts to $27.819.5O for Ari- zona. While the primary purpose of road and trail building within the for ests is for better administration of the forests and better protection a. gainst forest fires, many outlying communities as well as individual settlers are greatly benefited by them and a system of good mountain roads and trails is being gradually built up.
 The school and road fund that is to be divided, aggregates over mil lion dollars. It will be prorated a. n1ong the 2S states in proportion to the receipts from the National For ests located in them. Since the estab- lishment of the National Forests the sums returned to these states have steadily increased and now reach a total of almost 14 million dollars that has been contributed directly to the development of the states by the National Forests within their borders.
 Arizona according to gross receipts; from National Forests and amounts to be given over to state treasuries stands fourth in the list of states that are included in the division of Nat ional Forest money at this time. Cal ifornia, where federal timber lands returned to the government S62S,- T65 during the past year leads the list and will receive $157,191.

JUDGE PERKINS FOR
 JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT

OO0OG OoH EB1O1b SOOIIB
 Judge Perkins, nominated on the Re publican ticket for Judge of the Su- perior Court, like his present compet- itor, had no opposition in the primary election.
 He has been reside.t of Coconino County for 19 years. He has always been deeply interested in Williams, especially through business interests which have made him feel very much as though Williams were his home. His son, Warren, now runs the cat tie business which the Judge started on the ranch south of town, years ago. The Judges long residence in our midst, along with his estimable family, has shown him to be valu- able and desirable citizen.
 For five years he gave his service as a member of the public school board in Flagstaff, during which time
 manual training and domestic science were first introduced and the Flagstaff schools then ranked with the best in the state.
 For four years Judge Perkins serv- ed on the Board of Education of the Northern Arizona Normal School, during which time the school took on new life and made great progress.
 Judge Perkins made splendid rec ord as Judge of the Superior Cour1 of this county, and not one of the cases appealed from this county to the Supreme Court was reversed.
 
 election for State Representative two years ago, but was nominated any way and elected. He served on sev- eral committees and among them the committee on education. The pres ent State Superintendent of Public Instruction recently stated in a pub lie meeting in Phoenix that that leg islature passed more constructive school legislation than any previous legislature. Judge Perkins, in the face of opposition by some members, including the Speaker, secured an appropriation of 2O,OOO.OO each for the two Normal schools, and $75, ,OOO for the State University, to make up a deficit for the two past years in said schools and university. The ap- committee in presenting the appropriation bill cut down the really needed to maintain the Flagstaff Normal School for the next two years, and Judge Perkins offered 1 an amendment and obtained for the school some $3O,OOO.OO more thar ! the committee recommended.
 Judge Perkins also secured the ap- i of funds to build the Ar mory Stables and Corrals at Flag. staff
 Because of his fitness, and without | in any way seeking the place, Judge | Perkins was offered the position of | assistant Attorney General, and has acted as such for the past year with credit to himself, to this county, and to the State.
 Judge Perl5ins-besides his exper- fence as clerk of the U. s. Court, as U. s. Commissioner, his more than four years studentship with one of the best law firms in Kansas City, and graduated from the St. Louis Law School of
 ashington University. Added to all he foregoing is his experience in his 'r', ession, in business matters and n live stock, and his well known char acteristic of being impartial, upright and fearless and without prejudice md his interest in the welfare of the Toung. All these make himexception- fudge.

PROCLAMATION OFCLEAN
 UP WEEK OCTOBER 5--12
By P. A. MELICK, Mayor

OI IiietAiy years It 1dS been LI.0 GUS tom in Williams to set aside a certain week in the spring months, as ''clean- up" week for the purpose of calling public attention to the need for re- moving all trash and refuse from yards, streets and alleys. The bene- fits from the custom are so manifest that this custom is accepted as good one not only in Williams but il, most other towns of our state and na- ton.
 Today, it is rapidly becoming the custom in progressive towns, to set aside another week in the fall of the year, for a fall cleanup. At this time of the year a great deal of trash is usually found collected in alleys and back yards large part of which is weeds that have gone to seed and that, if left, will harbor injurious in sects during winter months and will scatter seed over streets, alleys and yards, to become a nuisance to cit izens of the town during the next sea- son. A thorough fall cleanup will. greatly improve the appearance of our little city, will destroy harmful insects and weed seed, and, by en- couraging the removal of all refuse from yards and alleys will make the sanitation of the town an easier mat ter during the wet weather of the winter and spring.
 Furthermore, Williams is to be honored October 18th and 14th with large number of visitors who will come as delegates to attend the an- nual meeting of the Northern Ari- zona Federation of Women's Clubs. and it is particularly fitting that we should set our town in order at this time, out of respect to these honored visitors, coming from all of the lead ing cities of the Northern part of our state.
 Now, THEREFORE, I, P. A. MEL ICK, Mayor of the Town of Williams, by virtue of the authority vested in me, and with the concurrence of all the members ef the Town Council Of Williams, Arizona, do hereby desig- nate and set apart the week, October 9th. to 18th. inclusive, as Cleanup Week" to be observed by the people of Williams week for cleaning up all alleys and streets of said town: for the burning of all weeds and trash and the removal of all garbage and refuse from out the town.
 In urging the observance of thiI week for the purposes herein set forth, I do so in confident expectation that the civic pride of the people of l Williams and their love of neatness, | cleanliness and order, will impell | them to join heartily in the observ- i ance of the same to the satisfaction of our own civic respect, the better ment of our town, the good example to our rising generation and in due respect to our expected visitors.
 In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Town of Williams, Arizona, to be affixed.
 P. A. MELICK,
 Mayor. ATTEST:
 J. w. LEE, Town Clerk.

Response EneouraxinR

The response to the call for funds to be used in improving Coleman Lake is very encouraging. Business men and others have contributed lib- orally to the fund needed for this purpose and the committee has ar ranged for the work to begin soon. Only two business firms failed to contribute to the fund. This shows a progressive spirit among the busi- ness men of the town generally and promises much for future develop ment. No year should be let pass without some further permanent work being done for the improvement of Coleman lake. The ultimate re- turns will be large in comparison to the expense of development.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Coin Falls Heads.

Gramont sat in his own room that
afternoon. 1t seemed to him that he
had been away from the city for
weeks and months. Yet only a day
had intervened. He sat lingering the
only piece of mail that had come to
him-a notice from the post Of the
American Legion which he had Joined,
to the effect that there would be a
meeting that Thursday evening. Only
Thursday And tomorrow was Fri
day.
II he was to effect anything against
the headquarters of Fell's gang he
must act on the morrow or not at all.
Gumberts was to be out there tomor-
row. Gumberts would talk with the
ratty little man of the projecting
teeth and adenoids, would find Ora.
mont had imposed upon the fellow, and
there would be upheavals. The gang
would take to flight, certainly, or at
least make certain that Gramont's
mouth was shut.
He sat lingering the postal from the
Legion, and turning over events In his
mind. Against Fell he had no particu
lar animosity. All that the little gray
man had done had been done with the
thought of Lucie Ledanois as a spur.
"If I'm to strike a blow, I'll have
to do 1t omorrow-before noon to
morrow, also. I'll have to leave herC
mighty early, and get there before
Gumberts does. What was 1t Ham
mond said that day about him-tha
nobody In the country had ever caugh
Memphis IzzyH l bet l could do 1t
and his whole gang with hlm-lf
knew how. There's the rubl Eel
won't hesitate a minute In having mt
arrested. And as he said, once he go
ns arrested, I'd be gone. He mus
be able to exert a powerful influence
that mani"
Should he strike or notl II h
struck, he might expect the ful
weight of Jachln Fell's vengeance
unless his blow would include Eel

TUBERCULOSIS ON DECREASE
Prospect for Ultimately Kidding coun-
try Of Disease Looks More Prom
lsing Than Ever.

The plan for eradicating tuberculosis
In cattle from entire areas, such as
counties, is daily growing in popularity,
according to reports coming to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture The idea has taken hold In Mich
Igan and is spreading rapidly. Already
five counties have been freed Of the
plague and reports from the inspector
in charge for the government show
that the boards of supervisors have
appropriated money and made provi-
sion for cooperating with state and
federal forces. When one county joins
the ranks for eradication its action
stimulates others to follow. The pros
pect for ultimately Kidding the country
of the disease never looked so promis-
ing as at present, say those in charge,

FILL SIL0 WITH BEET TOPS
important That Dirt and Sand BE
Elimlnated-WeIl-5uiIt Struc-
ture Is Safe.

A good crop of beets will yield from
31a to tons of processed silage. The
average cost of gathering the tops and
filling, packing, and finishing the silo
is about 81 a ton. 1t is extremely
important that the tops be gathered
and put into small piles promptly
after the beets are topped. The dirt
may be easily shaken from the tops
while the leaves are still fresh. It
is imperative that dirt and sand be
eliminated. The same structure that
is commonly used for putting up
corn silage may be used for beet
top silage. Because beet tops pack
in a very dense mass, the structure
will sometimes crack and spread and
thus allow air to enter. A well built
silo Is reasonably safe.

FEED FOR FATTENING STOCK
Addition of Alfalfa to Ration for Cat.
tie Gives Better and More
Profitable Gains.

Experiments of the United States
Department Of Agriculture have shown
that alfalfa added to a ration for fat.
tening cattle or young growing stock
gives better and more profitable gains.
Compared with hay from sorghum
and the grasses, alfalfa has consist.
emily given the best gains. There
seems to be little difference In the re.
suits given by the alfalfa or clover and
other legumes, but alfalfa Is more pal
atable and is more readily and com.
pletely consumed.
