From cowpunching Williams drifted
into the cavalry, serving a hitch with
the regulars along the border. His
sketches won him fame in his detach-
ment, and -oddity of fate-he became
"regimental tattooer," putting many
q tasteful blue-ink drawing on ths
chests and forearns of his buddies.
He Met "The Girl"
When his enlistment ended Williams
headed for Canada to enter the Cana
dian northwest mounted police. But
he never got there. On his way he
met The Girl, got married, and settled
down to regular job as a machinist.
His fondness for sketching was still
With him. He satisfied it by drawing
animated cartoons for the movies, in
his spare time. These won him con-
siderable fame, and offers from news
papers and syndicates began to come
in. The upshot was thar he joined
NEA Service. He's been there ever
since, and, incidentally, only recently
signed a new five-year contract.
So you see, when Jim Williams
draws about cowboy life or the a.
chine shop, he's drawing something
that he knows from the ground up.
Oh, yes-and he knows about kids,
too. He has some of hrs own.

HAY GROWERS TO
MEET MARKETING
OFFICER OF U. S.

PHOENIX, May 25.-Use of federal
for Arizona hay will be the subject OF
q meeting of hay growers and ship

r. G. Parker, assistant chief market
ing specialist of the U. S. department
of agriculture, to be held here Satur-
day. May 29
The meeting will be held at 2 o'clock
that afternoon at offices of the Ari-
IONA Industrial congress, and invita-
tions to be represented have been is
sued to all hay shippers and hay grow
ers' organizations and to farm bu~
reaus in hay producing sections. Mr..
Parker VIII spend four days here, May.

for discussion with individual growers
and shippers and inspection of grow
ing and shipping methods, and follow

days in Yuma
The conference called for next Sa-
urday is a further step lin developing
federal hay inspection in the state, in
itiated a year ago when Arizona grow.
ers and shippers endorsed the U. S.
grades at a meeting held here with w.
"A. wheeler, chief of the hay division
of the department, and Mr. Parker.
That was followed by a hay grades

ing, F. o. Lassen of Phoenix and DON
aid B.. Wisener of Yuma, We're Ii
censed as inspectors by the depart
ment to make inspection service avail
able for this season.
Parkers visit at this time is prompt
ed by indications that federal hay i'm
here than has been expected hereto
fore. Recent reports to the depart
ment of agriculture show an unusual
ly large number of inquiries regard
ing Arizona hay az Kansas City, st.
Louis and other middle western points
which have received little hay from

have been adopted in those markets
federal inspection here to certify
grade will prove of enormous benefit
in completing sales
The government specialists visit
will not only give Arizona hay ship
pers and growers complete lineup
as to market prospects for federal in

arrangements for expanding federal
inspection service in the state as rap
idly as needed, the first extension

HIT AT GRAND

cate with it's various steps and side
steps, was performed in an admirable

dressed as a young flapper. a.M
The other participants danced stngly
and all were roundly applauded for
their efforts They were Theodore
Arp, who was awarded 1he third prize;

ROMANCE? CAREER
OF JIM WILLIAMS
CRACKLES WITH IT

inn Williams, -cartoonist, who draws
Out Our Way" never draws about
any subject with which he isn't per-
fectly familiar.
That may explain why his cartoons
have the human interest that they
so abundan1y possess. He is thor
oughly familiar with his characters.
And, if you'll recall the number of
things he builds his cartoons about
you'll see that it also implies that he
has had a rather colorful sort of ca
reer. Hs has.
williams first saw the light of day
up in Nova Scotia. He scared the old
barn up with daubs of paint While he
was SILL in knee breeches and his pa,
rents decided he was going to be az
artist. But he had lot of things to
CO first.
Moved to OhiO.
To begin with he wanted to be a
sailor. Fearing that he'd do it In
spite of them if they stayed in Nova
Scotia, his parents moved to Ohio ana
took him along. He entered Mount
Union college and studied art there.
in pursuance of their plans for, him.
But after year of college he de-
cided to see the world. So as first
step, he became fireman for the
Pennsylvania railroad. This lasted
only little while, and then he moved
west to see WHAT there was to be
seen in the land of the wild and WOOL.

He landed in New Mexico and be-

he stuck to the cowboys life, on the
Stark ranch, the McMurry BarTL.
ranch and the McNew BoX-P ranch.
There are still bunkhouses and shacks
in that part of the southwest whost
walls are covered with his charcoal
and crayon\ sketches. The artist in

Poppies have been made by the dis.
abled service men in she hospitals of
Arkansas, California, Idaho, Kentucky,
Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon and Vir-
gim.a, for local needs under the guid
ance of the American legion auxiliary;
and Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin
departments have had poppies made
for all the states not carrying on this
industry.
The greatest burden has been car
ried by the Minnesota auxiliary de-
partment, which in 1925 financed the
making of two million poppies. The
poppies were not all made in the hos
pitfalls, but poppy headquarters was
maintained down town, where on an
average of 25 disabled service men il.
need of financial assistance and men
lust out of the hospitals gathered
daily through the winter and spring
month to make .poppies. THESE men
were paid one cent for making each
poppy and limited to 400 per day, thus
making 1T possible for man to earn
$4OO day during poppy season. To
