CLUB MAKES
NEW YEAR START

The first meeting of the Clifton
Luncheon Club-the first for the New
Year-was held January 2. 1t was not
largely attended owing to the fact
that it followed too close on the holi-
days some of the members forgetting
the time and others probably having
not sufficiently recovered from holi-
day Indulgence. The small attend

menu, the abundance of the latter eX-
ceeding the digestive capacity of
those present. One member express
ed regret that so many pieces of pie
should have gone to waste but it may
be assumed that the resourceful secre
tary understands the art of conversion
and conservation and that nothing was
wasted though those who were absent
certainly lost something.
Mr.. Geo. M. Robinson. of Morenci,
honored and respected for his ability
and achievements, was a guest of the
club, making timely talk and prais-
ing the spirit and purpose of the club.
Mr.. W. R. Davis had for his subject
the educational progress of the coun-
ty. He was followed by o. A. Ris-
don who sketched the scenic attract
ions and industrial possibilities of
Clifton. 1t can be said for Mr.. Risdon
that he has done much to advertise
the Clifton-Mcrenci district through
his excellent photography. Mat Danen-
hauer and Pete Riley, both boosters
and believers in Clifton and its future.

With the beginning of the New

sion BY The Accused.


AS result of a killing which occur.
red at Metcalf on Sunday evening
last between the hours of nine and
ten, Cuguba Battista is in the county
Jail charged with the murder CT
Giobanni Canas.
After being confined in Jail for three
days Battista made a partial confes-
sion in the presence of Sheriff Slaugh-
ter and County Attorney Ling in which
he admitted having mad a fight with
Canas on the evening in question and
that he struck him with a stick. This
statement was made by Battista with
out the knowledge that Canas had
died as the result of his wounds.
The attack upon Canas was made
in the dark at point coming down
the Coronado Canyon trail just out
side of a tunnel. The assault was
committed presumably with a hatchet
or axe as the skull of the deceased

The body was first discovered by a
young lady school teacher, who in
passing the vicinity saw the PROSTATE
man and notified Mr.. Bingham, who
in turn notified Deputy Sheriff Alex
Arnett.
When the officer reached the scene
a number of Italians had gathered
and among the number was Cuguba

who placed him under arrest.
Upon further investigation by the
, sheriff's office it was learned that a
short time after the assault was com

with whom he was rooming, that "he
had gotten his man.. He then wash
ed blood stains from his shoes. re-
moved his trousers and shirt, and re-
quested his partner to bury them

later discovered by the officers.
Following the discovery of the body
Canas was hurried in an ambulance
to the A. G. hospital in Clifton where
he lived for about an hour.

the motive as it was known that the
deceased usually carried several hun

was carrying at the time of the as

by the defendant to his partner,4he had
thown it.

range pastures we're. the best in years,
due to the we'll distributed rains. The
present outlook is for an abundance
of spring feed on the range.
Cantaloupes- About 1900 cars were
shipped from the state this year, COM
pared with 1173 cars in 1918; 1914
cars in 1917; So cars in 1916 and 400
cars in 1915. Shipments were greatly
curtailed this season by heavy rains
at harvest time. For 1920 the acre
age will be about 5000. as compared
with 1900 acres the past season, and
1000 acres in 1918.
Lettuce-About 125 acres were har-
vested from the crop planted in the
fall of 1918. From the present crop
planted in October and November,
1919, it is estimated that about 500
acres will be harvested. About so
per cent of the acreage was abandon
ed this season, due to unfavorable
weather conditions. which prevented
termination of seed; and damage from

he expressed the belief that the ten
dency all over this country to reduce
the size Of farms is move in the
right direction. He argue! that the
most profitable farm In the world ia
a small farm, 4 one-man farm, Is
he calls it. He said it is more prof
table because it is cultivated more
closely. And then we told q farmer
friend about the conversation and he
gave US something to think about.
He said:
ats folly to talk about dividing
up the land in this country into one
man farms. The 300 or 400 acre
farm can still be operated at a profit,
even at the high cost of labor. Be-
sides, the division of the land ad!
justs itself; it cannot be done by
legislation. The big farms will be
split up when it is to the advantage
of the owner to do so, and not until
then, and men will secure for them.

! DOLLAR DOWN

There died in the city Of CHICAGO
recently man who did more harm
to rural and small-tow merchants in
his brief span Of years than all other
men combined. The papers credit
him with being the originator Of the
"send only one dollar" mail order ads.
His estate totalled millions snd not
q dollar of it came from the psekets
Of those who lived in the same town
with him. His field was the small
towns and the rural districts Of the
United States, his travelling SALESMAN
were newspapers and magazines that
make = speciality Of carrying this
"send only one dollar" class of adver-
tisine. ....
This man learned early in life that
humanity will buy anything under the
sun il it looks cheap. He also found
out that when people buy on the in.
stallment plan they never stop to
figure how much more expensive It
is than buying for cash. And he al
so knew that advertising will sell
goods when no other agency on earth
can. So he started his "send only one
dollar" advertising, and he piled up
millions-millions that should have
remained in the small towns and
along the rural routes from whence
they came.
Today the country is full Of his
followers. Every postoffice has its
patrons Of this class of merchandis-
ing. and the worst feature of it oil is
the number is increasing. All Of the
warnings Issued by weekly newspap-
ers against the practice of taking
chances on such ads seems to be going
for naught. There appears but one
way to offset it to any extent. And
that is for the home merchant to tell
his people, every week, that he will
and can sell them even better goods
and they can. make their own
terms and be here where they can
get satisfaction if the goods are not
as represented. II hair fiom a dog

their own kind of ammunition ought

SOME MORE BUNK

In a speech in congress few weeks
ago Vermont man said the farmers
Of this country are getting tired Of
supporting the cities, and that state
ment shows more than anything else
could show that the Vermont man is q
demagogue and professional polxi-
clan.
We feel every man in Julesburg
will agree with us when we say that
il it were not for the farmers the city
people would starve. But we also
believe they will agree as readily that
If it were not for the cities life on a
farm would be mighty barren. There
is no conflict between the two. and
the fellow who tries to build up a
prejudice between them, like the
Vermont man, is not good friend of
either. Tn truth is, the farmer and
the city man are both getting along
very we'll. Necessarily they are COM
peting with each other in the matter
of labor. The farmer complains that
he cannot afford to meeet the wages
offered by the city men, and the fel-
