A CORRECTION

In last weeks Issue of tie News
an article appeared stating that the
Garage Dealers of Clayton he'd de-
cided to rescind their former clos
ing order and would now remain
open to the public at all times. We
stand corrected. Our information
came from Mr.. Granville. the only
one of the Garage Dealers of Clayton
who refused TO abide by the closing
order until all ether garage men
along the line leading TO and from
Clayton agree to close their business
in a ike manner.
Evidently Mr.. Granville wished to
convey the idea that he had decided
to keep his garage open for the ben
eft of the travelling publie, and we
thought he meant all the garages
of Clayton

UNION COUNTY
CROPS ARE
NOW ASSURED


The recent rains that have been
falling all over Union County make
bumper crop for This part of New
Mexico a certainty. 1t was our
pleasure to motor to Des Moines last
Saturday, and we have never seen
better grass or crops, but we can
not say as much for the roads. How
ever, it will not be long until the
road from Texline to- Dedman will
be equal to any of the streets in Clay
ton. Already that part of the road
from Texline to Mt. Dora has been
graded and is in fine shape.
The problem that nows confronts
the Farmers of Union County, is
how and where they will get the
labor to harvest the crops they have
been so successful in growing. Mr.. Or
rem Beatty, County Agriculturist, is
working day and night trying to solve
this problem. NfAll Union County
farmers should see Mr.. Beatty before
the harvest starts and cooperate
with him in arranging for help.
n The broomcorn and bean crop this
year will far exceed that of 1917, AMI
we hope that the farmers Of Union
County will not has the same
trouble in locating a market for
their products that they had year
ago. 1t is now time for the heads
of the different organizations among
the farmers to get busy and secure
buyers, who will at least come and
look at what they. have TO sell.
The News is here to serve you,
and we want an opportunity to CO.
operate with the farming interest of
Union County. 1t was the farmer
who changed this part of the great
Western plains from a sparsely
settled stock raising country to a
prosperous farming community with
churches and school houses every
few miles. Land in Union County
that was considered wOth
well, little or nothing a few years
ago for grazing purposes. is today
yielding tons of valuable and es-
sential articles of food. Many q pro-
fgressive farmer in this part of New,
Mexico will realize from $1,000 TO
$4,000 per acre off the land he farms.
Taking these things into consid-
Grafton, is it any wonder that our
merchants are turning their atten-
ton to the man who tills the soil?
The farmer is here and he has
come to stay. Every merchant in
Clayton will do his part to make
it possible for the farmer to increase
his earning capacity by providing a
market for his products, and by SELL
ing him goods at the lowest possible
margin of profit.

SOME TRADING
POINTS IN
UNION COUNTY

In chronicling the industrial and
commercial resources of Union
County il is essential that the var
ious trading points in the county be
given some mention. This section Of
New Mexico has experienced a re-
markable development within recent
years, and much of the credit for
this development is due to those
pioneers in the commercial world
who settled in various parts of the
county and established trading
points for the early settler.
Clayton, as the most important
city in Union County and the fast
est growing city in the state, has al
ready been given mention in this
series of articles. Clayton is un-
questionably the metropolis of I'm
ion County and bids fair to become
the most important commercial CEN
ter in the state. The location of
the city is ideal, and her business
men and citizens are progressive and
wide-awake.
Des Moines, a thriving little city
fifty miles northwest of Clayton, is
the second largest town in the coun-
ty. The town is just ten years old
and now has a population of some
six hundred people. 1t is on the
Colorado & Southern Railroad and is
the present terminus of the Santa
Fe branch out from Ration. The
town stands at the foot of the Sierra
Grande mountain, which has an al
titude of 1900 feet, and the general
climate of the district is very health
full. The town is surrounded by
good farming country which is set
tling up rapidly. An accredited
high school located there, number
of excellent business houses and
several splendid residence properties.
1t is the trading point for large
territory.
GrenYille, a village of some one
hundred population, is located on the
C. & S. between Des Moines and
Clayton. The town has several gen.
eFal stores, a postoffice and is a
good trading point. Mt. Dora, ten
miles from Grenville on the C.. & S.,
is also a small trading point.
Folsom is an important town in
the northwest corner of Union
County. 1t is located 55 miles north
west of Clayton and 70 miles south
east of Trinidad, Colorado. 1t is
an important supply point for stock
growers in southern Colorado ana
northeastern New Mexico. Good
schools and churches. Population
six hundred and fifty.
Gladstone is a small trading point
81 miles west of Clayton. Mills,
in Mora County, is the nearest bank
ing and shipping point. Farming
and stock raising are the principal
industries around Gladstone. Pop
ulation about rs.
Thomas, Sedan, Mosquero, Hay
den, Amistead and pasamonte are
all small inland trading points with
populations ranging from so TO 100
people. All contain general stores
and postoffice, but no banks.
