thousand residents of this valley
will take advantage Of this oppor-
tnnity to advertise our resources
A number of farmers told me
this week that if they could
sell part of their holdings they
could pay off their Indebtedness
and make needed Improvements
on their farms, but there did not
seem to be buyers even at bargain
prices. This condition should not
exist as there are many people in
the corn states that are looking
for just such opportunities as this
valley offers, and if we will advsr-
tise that the San Luis valley has
agricultural land of all values from
the cheap undeveloped farms to
the splendidly improved places,
and that we Zone thousand of us)
are going to see that buyers get
farms worth every cent they pay
for them, we will make this valley
the most attractive locality in the
entire Rocky Mountain region for
land settlers and land investors.
For such strong organization
of citizens to stand back of plan
to induce new farmers to locate
here and then see that every far
mer gets land at it's actual value,
will make the San Luis valley
stand alone among all other irri-
gated agricultural districts as the
one sure safe place to locate and
invest.

MAKE A MARKET FOR LAND

Many farmers of the San Luis
valley have purchased and own
more land than they can properly
handle. Others have assumed in
cumbrances against their holdings
making it difficult to farm profit
ably on account of the interest
payments they are obliged to meet
every year. Some would like to
make changes in their farming
methods and improvements, and
all these conditions make it neces-
sary for these people to sell part
of their land holdings A large
acreage of such land if placed on
the market at its real value would
attract hundreds of farmers to the
San Luis valley, and by their To-
eating and improving these new
farms, the population of this agri-
cultural district will be increased
by prosperous lot of farmers,
and those selling would improve
their financial conditions.
BY making The San Luis Valley
Commerce Club an organization of
one thousand active mem bers, this
club could begin such an advertise
ing campaign for the sale of this
acreage (assuring every purchaser
his moneys worth) that hundreds
of settlers would be brought to the
valley.
We need this increased popula-
lation; we need a market for the
land our farmers desire to sell; we
need an advertising feature that
will bring buyers to the valley; and
all these things will come, if one

lions and which eulogized in the
highest terms the present demo-
cratic administration and the rem
resentatives of the people of this
state in Washington.
Without dissenting vote the
program of the convention WAS
carried through as outlined by the
committee on rules and permanent
organization. The delegates, es-
pecially the representatives from
the west end of the county, seemed
to be possessed of but one idea
the naming of the delegates to the
state convention and hurrying to
the ball game. As a result, the
naming Of the county ticket was
deferred until August II, at which
time the adjourned meeting will be
held in Del Norte. To date but
few candidates have announced
themselves for the various offices.
The nomination of sheriff is gener-
ally conceded to Mike Brady of
this city. However, it is rumored
that n, l., Carr is being groomed
in another stall and may be trotted
out at any minute as a dark horse.
Following are the delegates that
will represent Rio Grande county
at the state convention in Denver
on the 3Oth of this month, all of
whom are staunch supporters of
President Wilson and his policies
and supporters of the Colorado
men who have backed him on
every platform pledge. The list:

Mike Brady, d J. Gibbs, H. Man

STEALS FROM BENEFACTOR

Thomas Carlton. an old soldier
who was recently dishonorably dis
charged from the home on account
OF drunkenness and disturbance,
lett Sunday night for parts un-
known after adding larceny to his
record and by repaying those who
were kind to him with base ingrat
itude.
Being absolutely without means
OF support, Carlton was given a
home by Edward Haefeli, the park
commissioner. On Sunday the
Haefeli family made a trip into
the country and invited Carlton to
accompany them, which he de-
clined. The old soldier then, in
the absence of the family, ran
sacked the house for articles of
value and boarded the evening
train for Pueblo. Mr.. Haefeli dis
covered the theft Immediately upon
his return, but was too late to ap-
prehend the thief by telephone be-
fore the train left Alamosa.

Strength and
Weakness

President Wilson, the idealist, standing for
peace abroad and justice at home has been the
strongest personality in the world during the past
year, says The Public His irmness in opposing
predatory business, and his determination to carry
out legislation in the interests of the country at
sane citizens as have not stood behind president
in this country for generations. And this same
hrmness and fairness carried into his foreign
policy. For a year he has disregarded sneers
way of peace and honor. 1t was the finest exam
pie of foreign policy the world has seen. Mistaken
it may have been details but its main pur-
pose carried forward upon plane never be-
fore assumed in statecraft. And the nation that
stood behind the president in both his foreign pol.
icy and his measures at home has come nearer than
ever before to reaching its ideals

during which time he has not at
tended a Democratic convention,
lease Stephenson again donned
hs war paint, and with the reins
in his hands completely controlled
tbe Democratic county assembly
which met in the City hall in
Monte Vista on Tuesday.
Although out of the game for a
number of years, Mr.. Stephenson
showed that he had lost none of
his old time ability and cunning,
and demonstrated that he is still
tbe same resourceful general that
.trnck terror into the hearts of the
Republicans few years ago. He
made a great "come back" and
handled the convention in a mas
tsrful manner from the first tap of
tbe gong until the final curtain.
Everything worked with mechan-
icsl smoothness and without the
slightest indication that even the
most trivial detail had been over
looked.
The assembly went on record as
heartily endorsing the efficient adj
ministration and work of President
Woodrow Wilson. The Colorado
delegation which has stood by the
president through the heat of the
tight on the tariff and ship subsidy
questions and who have 30 ably
assisted him during the past two
years on all matters of Democratic
policy likewise came in for much
worthy praise. Former Senator
T. NJ. Patterson was heartily en-
dorsed for governor, being the only
candidate for a state office to
receive official sanction.
The assembly WAS called to
order by County Chairman j. @.
Gilbreath. Next in order was the
reading of the official call for the
convention and the minutes of the
last meeting of the County Central
Committee Then followed the
election of temporary officers with
