The Big Convention

Work was started in earnest
yesterday morning arranging
for the entertainment Of the an
nual convention OF the Arizona
Cattle Growers Association
which meets at Nogales,
February Ia, Is and 16.
The cooperation of every
citizen is going to be needed if
Nogales is to uphold it's just re-
lputation as a convention city.
It is expected that fully six
hundred visitors will be guests
of Nogales on this occasion.
The committee which met yes
terday consisted of j. E. Wise,
chairman; H. J. Saxon, J. A.
Harrison, John Chapman, R. E.
Butler, Leslie Hardy, C. V. Fow-
ler, Geo. w. Parker, r. R. Ear
hart and w. G. Bowman.
Committees were appointed
to take up the preliminary work.
A finance committee, Ben I.
Jones, chairman, to raise the
necessary funds in Nogales and
another finance committee to
raise funds in the county under
the direction of Harry Saxon
were appointed. These COM
mittee will shortly call on every
body to contribute to the ex-
lpenses of entertaining Nogales'
guests and liberal response is
expected.
Many prominent men are be-
ing invited to attend the con-
Ivention and owing to the i'm
Iportance of the cattle industry
in relation to the war the at
tendance of these men of promi-
nance in administration affairs
touching the cattle industry, is
sure to be large.
From now until the conven-
tion is successfully carried
through those called upon to
serve should lend every assist
ance and volunteer should offer
themselves, as there is a place
for every one interested.

An Internation-
al Utopia

Perhaps few people in Nogales
are aware that the town has a
suburb that is a sort of inter-
national utopia. This "delect-
able" and interesting village lies
lon the extreme eastern bound
ary Of the city limits, over the
hill beyond the municipal re-
servior and on both sides of
the international line. Among
police officers it is knowi by the
baleful name of "Slackerville.
The houses are built of refuse
lumber, barley sacks, old pieces
Of corrugated iron and dis
mantled coal oil cans. The
dominant style of architecture
needs nc description. The in
habitants on the American side
are people who belong in Mex
leo and vice versa. The place
took on rare squirt of pros
perity soon after the slackers
hiked for Mexico after being
called in the selectioe draft.
They are still the opulent-
proteges of the locality, hence
the name. The main thorough
fare leads across the line and it
is one upon which the Nogales
City council is never asked to
establish a grade or define the
exact line for telephone poles.
The streets" are not lighted
and that suits the citizens. In
act they abhor such conven'
tional civic features and also
custom houses and passports.
The village has its own
municipal water supply, being a

just grazes the boundary line.
