J. K. HOLMES
SHORTHORN SALE

All San Luis valley sale rec
ords were shattered when fif-
teen head of Shorthorn hcifers
and bulls. ycarlings and under
sold for an average price OF
$ii6 per head at the first an
nual purcbrcd sale held by Mr..
Holmes at his farm near La
Garita on the Goth inst. The
roam heifer calf that carried
off the Shorthorn sweepstakes
mt the Saguache county fair
brought $500 from Mrs. Dacre
Dunn. n white ycarling bull
sold to J. w. Sproulc for 5000.
while n toppy roam bull went
to Joe D'Avignon for $3.50.
This bull would bring $1,000
in the Denver ring. DR.. O. P.
Shippey purchased a fine red
calf for $500 and will never re-
gret his buy. All Of the Holmes
cattle were in excellent condi-
ton. while the Shorthorns Of.
fered Mt the sale by Bronaugh
and Johnson Of Monte Vista
had been shipped over the
country so much that they
were in very poor condition for
sale.
The enterprise of Mr..
Holmes must not be overlook.
ed. The day of the sale was
the worst so far this season. but
Mr.. Holmes evidently expected
it since he had a big show tent
with raised seats. a ring and a
stand for the auctioneers. The
ring was well covered with
straw. An excellent hot lunch
was served by Mrs. Holmes
free of charge. AL Newmyer
of Center. Col. Burgess of Ok
lahoma City. and Col. Macy
of Monte Vista were the auc-
tioneers. VIM. Fellers of Sa-
guache was clerk.
The sale marked the real ad-
vent of, the purebred business
in the San Luis valley. What
Mr.. Holmes is doing. others
can do and the day is near at
hand when the valley will be
known the world over for its
purebred cattle, horses, sheep

3 Why will not the present
new building be sufficient?
The building now being
erected belongs to the consoi-
idated school district. 1t Is i'm.
peratively needed for grade
school work and could not be
rented for high school purpos-
es longer than this year. More
over, it is not built for high
school purposes. It contains
no auditorium, no gymnasium.
no physics laboratory, no
chemistry laboratory, noshops
for Smith-Hughes work in ag-
riculture. 1t is entirely made
quate for high school work.
4. What are the actual
school needs rs compared with
the facilities available?
The following figures will
answer this question:

SCHOOL NOTES

The schools closed for two
days for Thanksgiving vaca-
ton and will close for one
week during the Christmas
holidays.
Mr.. Tyner, driver of one of
the school buses, was called
east to attend the Pan Motor
trial. Messrs. Painter and
Hummel are taking care Of his
bus route, while Clarence Getz
is substituting for them on the
Bowen route.
One hundred and sixty chill
dren are now being hauled in
the six school buses which
fills the buses to capacity. 1t
is hoped that the high school
will have an additional bus
soon which will relieve the con-
gestion somewhat.
The basketball teams are
making nice progress under
the direction of Mr.. Painter.
The husky eighth grade boys
from the consolidated district
promise to give the high school
freshmen a battle royal in bas-
ketball.
The new building is now en-.
closed and will be rapidly
pushed to completion. Schools
are now conducted in the opera

PROMOTERS OF TIRE and
AUTO SCHEMES INDICTED

In the Denver Post Of No
vcmbcr 26th We notice an ac-
count Of the indictment Of
John +. Nelson Of Denver and
nine other men associated with
him. the charge being using
the mails to defraud. They
were taken into custody last
Tuesday by Postoffice Inspect
ors Hughes and Frawley and
gave bond in the federal dis
trict court in the sum Of five
thousand dollars each. to in
sure their appearance in court
in Santa Fe. N. NJ. April 5th,
1920. The evidence on which
the indictments were based re-
lates to the promotion of the
Western Tire Manufacturing
company and the Cannonball
Motor company, Incorporated
in New Mexico in 1916 and
1917. respectively. We are
under the impression that a lot
of this stock was sold here by
these people, which is unfor-
tunate to say the least. A
great many wildcat schemes
are flooding the country and it
behooves one to look into every
proposition very carefully be-
fore investing.

nit itself to any particular To-
cation. When the bonds are
voted, all suitable locations
will have consideration. Two
blocks of ground will be re-
quired.
6. Who may vote?
Legal voters who have paid
a property tax within the past
year.
1t is believed that the pa
irons of the high school dis
trict will stand behind the
high school committee in its
conservative constructive pro-
gram for the high school. 1t
will cost much less in the long
run to build schools in a busi-
ness-like way as needed than
to worry along with over
crowded schools and made
Quate facilities.
Good schools are a splendid
asset to the community and the
cheapest and most direct way
to insure such schools in This
community for the next five
years is to vote for these bonds.

II will represent the differ

paid by the high school dis
trict and the interest on the

be required for the first ten
years. This difference will
amount to . little more than
