The Market Day Idea
Merchants and Farmers Wish 1t 20
Be a Permanent institution

Although the sub-zero weather
and almost impossible roads last
Thursday discouraged Market Day
shopping to large extent and also
made it impractical to attempt an
auction, there was, nevertheless, a
large crowd of people in town that
day, drawn by the bargains adver-
tised by many of the merchants.
If such a crowd would brave the
hardships of trip on that day, how
much more Of a success would at
tend a similar affairin good weather,
and especially if every merchant in
town contributed some item to the
bargain list?
The Journal has been asked to
continue with the Market Day idea,
and to schedule another for this
month. Farmers as we'll mer-
chants have made this request, SO we
feel that the idea is favorable to all,
and we are willing to do all in our
power to further it. But ir our op-
ening campaign we found that en-
thusiasm over the plan was consider
ably offset in many instances by the
opinion that it was only a news
paper graft" used merely to get the
page of advertising. For that reason
we would much rather have the
matter taken up by committee Of
representative farmers and business
men, and sincerely hope that such
an arrangement can be made.
In regard to the newspapers part
in it, we wish to state it is by no
means d graft. The advertising ex-
pense to the merchant is inconse-
quential in comparison with the ben
eft which should follow we'll or
gained campaign. The affair can
not be successfully promoted with
out advertising-and lots of it. Spec
ial bargain prices will be the fea-
ture attraction to shoppers. Every
merchant undoubtedly has some ar
ticles or line of goods, which, at this
particular time, can be sold at
great reduction, rather than hold
stock; many would also be willing to
sacrifice on one line in order to get
shoppers into their stores. Automo-
bile and farm machinery agencies
might profit by special demonstra-
tions On that date. The schools
could undoubtedly arrange an in
structive exhibit down town. The
auction would be a great feature for
the farmers, giving them not only
an opportunity to buy needed stock,
but also chance to make profitable
trades.
The Journal will be glad to assist
the community in the Market Day
proposition by collecting all the
suggestions of farmers and mer-
chants who are interested. Suggest
ions may be mailed or 'phoned to
this Office and they will be presented
to those in charge. Let us know
your idea of how to make Market
Day profitable proposition for all
concerned. You are all invited and
urged to take part and to help make
it a valuable and permanent institu-
ton. What is YOUR suggestion for
Market Day?

There were about 100 travellers in
this first refugee column to cross the
line, and three more such columns are
TO come. OF the total already arrived,
a couple OF dozen are Mormons, q
couple Of hundred Chinese and the rest
Mexicans
As the refugees fed north the old
river trail which winds from the fertile
end of Casas Grande Valley to the edge

ern border General Pershing is con-
centrsting his expeditionary force for
the return march into the United States,
was overhung by great snake of light
yellow dust.
Beneath the dust snake marched
their tragic caravan, more than a hun
dred miles long
Soldiers Sang on March
The soldiers sang as they marched.
Their bands blared forth occasionally
in a quickstep as triumphant "a If
military victory rather than a diplo-
matte defeat lay behind them. Home,
dream for nearly eleven months, was
ahead of them-home, the actually.
But among the refugees it was differ
ent. There another side of war-if
war of words and war Of bullets can
be called kn-was pictured. There
were no bands and no songs. This was
community marching into the UNI

from home and property and comforts
won from the earth by a lifetime of
toll.

in chorus when the night wind bit
through their garments. When trans
portation was inadequate, mothers with
children at their breasts trudgcd

The trip from San Joaquin was an
especially hard one for the refugees.
The wells at Charcos were dry when
they reached Chocolate Pass, and the
animals were unwstered for two days
and nights. Investigation of the rea-
son for the delay of one cart disclosed
that child had been born. The march.
however, was delayed only few mo-
ments.
Little Reward for Amigos
Chinese and Mexican amigos have
done much 10 help the American troops
