CLIFTON OFFERS
COURTHOUSE SITE
Citizens of That Town Be
ieve They Will Land
Comfy Seat

Clifton. Ariz, Nov S.-Clifton sprang
the trump card in the county seat fight
with Duncan when a petition, signed
by a number of property holders and
prominent local business men. guaran-
teeing a court house site for the new
county, was made public.
Before the primary elections Duncan
had three tracts Of land offered for
the courthouse site. This has been one
of the chief arguments advanced in
favor of Duncan, but now Clifton has
not only guaranteed the site for the
public buildings free of charge. but is
leaving the selection of the location
to the county supervisors.
The new county of Greenlee VIII
embrace one of the most fertile farm
ing districts in the ella valley, as well
as one of Arizona's best mining dis
tricts in the Clifton Morenci section.
The natural wealth of the county Is
equal to any in the territory and 1t Is
probably the only one that combines
rich farming and mining sections, and
will take it's place among the leading
counties of the new state.
Clifton, located in the heart Of the
mining district, and Duncan. the CEN
ter of the farming section, have been
having q running fight for the court
house ever since the passage OF the
county division bill. The indications
TODAY seem to favor Clifton for the
final choice although the fight prom
Uses TO be a close one.
The election, being the only one In
the territory, will be watched with the
keenest interest to determine the trend
of politics in the new state. This Will
also be the last county election IN Arl-
iona territory, as the statenooo Dill
provides that all county officers hold
over until the state organization is
perfected.

HOME METHODS IN THE FACTORY.

: Every one knows what would happen
if housewife put down her fruit and
jellies by simply pouring them from the
kettle into the jars and allowing them
to stand with loose covers. Her fruit
would soon ferment and spoil. Cook
ing fats are just as liable to spoil, yet
most manufacturers of lard and other
cooking fats pack their products in tubs
or loose-covered tins, exposed to air,
dust and doors.
: Cottolene, however, is packed in pals
of special design, sealed absolutely air
tight, so that the makers guarantee
Cottolene to remain indefinitely as
sweet and as fresh as the day it was
made.
