The exhibit of the products raised
by the members of the boys and girls
clubs of San Miguel and Mora coun-
ties, which was held here Saturday
brought to the city a large number
of the young people who are striv-
ing, by their efforts in agricultural
and other lines, to help Uncle Sam
defeat the kaiser. The display of
pinto beans, corn, wheat, cooking and
sewing was especially good. Several
of the boys exhibited pigs and cows
which they have raised. The intro
duction of pedigreed stock into San
Miguel county through the medium of
the club members has done much to
improve the class of farm ANIMALS
raised. Prizes awarded to the var
ious winners were thrift stamps in
varying amounts.

sensation. So far, it has not been
found necessary to close the churches,
so that no alibi is available for those
who would fain excuse themselves.
