HONESTY is REWARDED

A family by name of Matthews,
living on lower Washington street
in Monte Vista, had a nice roll of
money come into their home one
day last week, but the greenbacks
were claimed by the careless owner
and their visit was short. 1t seems
that necessity has forced the family
to take in washing in order to help
meet the daily expenses and in a
shirt pocket, pinned together by a
safety pin, safely reposed six ten
dollar bills in garment sent for
washing by one of the old soldiers
at the home Lucy, one of the
little Matthews girls, discovered
the money before the shirt WAS
put into the wash and she and her
sister Cleo almost became involved
in quarrel as to which one
should have the privilege of re-
turning it to the old soldier. The
veteran divided five dollars be-
tween the girls as a reward for
their honestly virtue which Mrs
Matthews has 30 splendidly i'm
pressed upon her children.

some attorneys of the District Attorneys assoca-

even farther and provide for confiscaton and de-

Monte Vista Should Have An
Annual Fair and Exposition
BY CARL B. STOW

nishes an outdoor entertainment
that will interest and please both
old and young
With the splendid weather which
this locality is favored with every
fall, the abundance of high quality
grain crops, grasses and vegetables,
the cattle, horses, sheep and hogs
which our farmers raise and fatten,
all combine 10 make this one of
the most favored sections of the
west for fair and exposition of
unusual magnitude, and because of
the grandeur and success of such
an enterprise many people will be-
come interested in our resources
and opportunities. The progress
iveness and spirit of advancement
which big fair and exposition
give to town and locality make
such a place more desirable in
which to reside, and will cause
many to locate and invest who
otherwise would pass US by.
A fair and exposition of this
kind would be credit to Monte
Vista and our splendid agrioul-
tural district, and if conducted
along business lines, should show
a small profit every season. The
would be enormous and
this annual event grow to be q

PIGS IS PIGS

All kinds of live stock have the
wanderlust to greater or less de-
gree-usually greater-and not be-
ing bred or educated to realiza-
tion of property rights, sometimes
get their owners into trouble un-
less both are properly restrained.
And thereby hangs tale.
Recently bunch of hogs owned
by a rancher by the name of Mel
son, who lives north of the river,
strayed from their home surround
ings in search of greener pastures,
and finding he feed on the Elliott
ranch much to their liking, decided
to remain for while. When Mr..
Elliott found the alien hogs and
had estimated certain amount of
damages due him for their invasion
Of his premises he kept them close
herded against the arrival of the
owner, at which time he was pre-
pared to present bill for feed
which had been converted into po-
tential pork and request pay ment
thereof.
Now the owner of the hogs was
also possessed of an idea and, tax
ing with him his son, went in
search of the sausage, determined
to invoke the process of search and
seizure if necessary. The hogs
were discovered and SO, likewise,
was the custodian thereof, who
urged his claim for remuneration
and ventured protest against the
removal of the hogs until that had
been satisfied. The parley ter
minated when the son, who is a
lusty youth, suddenly substituted
force for oral argument and pum-
meled the opposition out of Mr..
Elliott.
The sequel was suit in law,
which was held in Alamosa last
week, and resulted in a fine for
Nelson and son and also served to
point the proper method to pursue
when one seeks to regain posses
sion Of his strayed mortgage lift
ers."

The Journal office was honored
Thursday afternoon by visit from
Miss Victoria Swanson and her
third-grade class of bright pupils.
The children were eager to learn
the rudiments of printing and fol-
lowed carefully the assembling of
type into the forms and the oper-
alton of the press which gave off
the printed sheets. Nothing es-
capped their observation from the
electric motor, which is employed
in driving the modern printing ma
chinery, down to the hand-oper-
ated s,apler and perforator. Miss
Swanson came here recently from
Georgetown to teach in the Cen.
trail schools From observing the
attitude of teacher and pupils to-
wards each other, one is impressed
that Miss Swanson has the per-
sonality and rare knowledge 80 es-
sential in successful training OF
children.
