week with his family before motoring

convention at Springerville, reports
that rousing meetings and mutual CO.

the day. While Williams was not sue
cessful in getting the convention to

much favorable comment.
Nearly an inch and half of rain
fell over this vicinity Monday in less

electricity.
Judge X. N. Sleeves almost took the
role of sky pilot at Thursdays Rotary
meeting, when he assigned the topic,
Gossip and It's Cure" to L. S. Will
Hams and President Walt Lindblom.
L. S. 'gossiped" about the proposed
city sewer system, admitting the
great necessity thereof, but also pre-
senting the difficulties attendant
upon its installation, with his usual
clarity. Walt held forth that the
solution of the gossip" problem was
to get all the gossipers out on good
golf course where their attention
would be on the balls. A golf course
for Williams is now being considered
by a number of those interested in
the pastime Harry G. provinces,
