ALLIED Conference
WILL SETTLE TERMS
Which NAY END war
Meeting All Versailles Will De-

By Robert j. Bender.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Decision
which will determine whether Geri
many is to accept dictated peace or
fight to the bitter end, will come out
Of the great, Versailles conference,
opening its sessions today.
1t may be stated authoritatively
that President Wilson believes his
program for armistiee terms will be ac-
cepted by the conference. 1t may be
implied then that the conference will
tell the German he must leave his
heavy artillery where it stands on all
fronts, though he may take home his
side arms; he must evacuate all oceu-
pied territory, including Russia aru
Rumania; he must submit to allied
control Of German seacraft and import
ant munition plants for the time at
least, and he must expect the allies to
occupy strategic points in Germany
Including strtlgholds in Alsace-Lor-
raine, so that there will be no double
dealing at the peace table.
The same terms win apply to tie ar
mistice with Austria Hungary. Presi-
dent Wilson is expected to forward i'm
mcdiateIy the Austrian appeal for
peace to the Versailles conference so
that the whole question Of terms for
Germany, Austria and Turkey may be
discussed at the same time.
Acceptance by the Teuton powers Of
these terms will mean an end to hos
tilitics.
The president is represented today,
by men in his confidence, as believing
the Germans will knuekle now to a
peace dictated by the allies.
The war department, however, is pro
ceeding with war order and war prep
arations as though no peace talk were
in the air. The draft machinery is be
ing hurried and every possible effort i.
being made to keep munitions and 9th
er industries at full pitch Secretary

 POINTED SHERIFF OF GRAHAM

Sheriff Slaughter and Undersheriff Sturgess returned from Stafford on Thursday where they had gone for "a party against whom a misdemeanor complaint had been lodged in this county. The case was settled, how ever, and they returned home without the prisoner. z
 Sheriff Slaughter stated that the Board of Supervisors of Graham coun- ty had selected Bridge Stewart to fill out the unexpired term of Sheriff Mcbride, who was the victim of the Powers-Sisson assassination. Stewart was the defeated republican candid ate who oppoed Sheriff Mcbride at the last election. His application was favorably acted upon by the Board of Supervisors. over the petition of Depu- ty Sheriff Skaggs, notwithstanding the signers of Skaggs' petition over topped that of Stewart by three to one.
 MT. Slaughter stated that the new sheriff of Graham county had not ap. pointed the under sheriff, that the position had been rendered to MT. Skaggs, but he had not accepted the tender when they left Stafford.

 Home Demonstration Agent Needed
 At this time when the watch word is conservation, when all are called upon to use the utmost economy and efficiency in the preparation and con- servation of food, it is essential that every child should be taught the best methods of preparing those things which go to make up the daily meal, as well as the other matters that tend to conserve the food supply of the country, and the production of those things essential to the sli3eli- hood of the people," stated Mrs. Jes- sic Billingley to Copper Era re- porter. "The best end to this means will be the services of home demon tration agent, and regret exceeding ly that there is not one in Greenlee county at present. The services of a. we'll informed lady in the art of home economies would be of inestd- mable benefit to the people of Green lee county at this time.E Besides teaching the children and grown people better methods of preparing food from the materials formerly in use. the substitutes, the use of which are now compulsory, are new to many. It is probable that the Board of Supervisors may be asked to sup ply this county with such ami aEsnt to instruct the people"

Predicts Early Spring

Jud Webster, an extensive cattle raiser of this county, whose ranches are located on Rattle Snake, was in town this week and stated that this has been one of the most severe. winters on cattle in many years. He stated that he was feeding all his cattle, trying to keep them alive till grass puts out. In discussing the out look MT. Webster stated: T have been compelled to feed my cattle nearly all winter. In one pasture [ have quite a number of young bulls that am particularly careful with,- as they are high grade stun, and when one of them dies the loss is consider able. These bulls T am gviing my personal attention and seeing that they are fed.
 Tt is my opinion that this will be an early spring, however, as my ex- perience on the range has demon strated that the. early appearance of the heel fly. is the forerunner of early. sprin. T notice thats this paraeiteS which is dreaded so much by cattler has already put in an appearance. Then, too, in protected places on the ranges I notice that the grass is showing above the surface of the earth. But it is yet dry. and cattle men everywhere would appreciate q good rain, which would insure plenty of grass before long,"

 BENEVOLENT ORDER OF ELKS

At a recent meeting of the Clifton lodge No. 1174, Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of Elks, officers for the ensuing year were nominated.

Card Index of ouestionnaires-


 Under the supervision of Mrs. Jessie Billingsley, superintendent of public instruction, the teachers of the Clifton schools are now engaged in preparing a card index system of the questionnaires returned to the exemption board by the registrants of Greenlee county. There will be about 4000 of these questionnaires to be card indexed, and it will be great convenience to the Provost Marshal General in calling the men into the service. This work was requested by the Provost Marshal General, and every teacher was a volunteer for the service just as soon as the re- quest was made known. It is grati- flying to know that there is not a ''slacker'' among the entire number. but all responded to this patriotic call willingly. The card system en- braces the work of correctly index ing the educational and industrial qualifications of the registrants.

Beneficial to Stockmen-

The Clifton district, and all of this section of Arizona, was visited by a nice slow rain this week. The slight precipitation lasted nearly all of two days and coming slow was of great benefit in placing the moisture in the earth, as most of it was soaked up. This rain was hailed with delight by stockmen, as it will ensure early grass, which is so badly needed. Most of the cattle that have lived through the winter are being fed, but with the assurances of grass just as soon as the spring sunshine warns the earth, the ranchmen can look to the future with more encouragement. The past season has taxed them almost to the limit.
