BEST PART OF THE WEST.

With only a few hours more to go,
and without asking advice or assist
ancc from the weather man, we may
confidently predict that the year 1921
is TO close tonight with the proud
mark of 20.17 as its total of precipita-
ton at Pueblo. Colorado.
These are important figures and all
loyal dwellers of this city and of Ar
kansas valley should have them in
memory or on readily available record,
and place them in the light of public
ity on every pertinent occasions
What We're the totals at other points
in the south half of Colorado can not
be exactly stated, but it Is positively
known that the entire south half re-
ceived most liberal quantity of rain
and in consequence arrived at frost
time with the most abundant show
ing of hay and grass ever seen in this
region All the way to Utah and all
the way to and far into New Mexico
this condition extended.
1t is especially important to chron-
icle and assert this record breaking
generous gift from nature because 1t
Is not likely to be noted in any official
statements. Those persons who send
out Colorado reports have their head
quarters In Denver which is a town
located somewhere in the far north.
Both in 1920 and 1921 that region was
utterly dry during the most critical
weeks OF the growing season. Last
year the drouth wilted things along
the foothills and for some distance out
on the plains. This season it was the
Sterling provinces OF the northeast
corner OF the state that had the one
foot wheat and the two-inch grass.
while all the five great valleys OF
Southern Colorado and all the north
half Of New Mexico were being re-
peatedly soaked. There were fine rains
all the way along to the very close of
the year in judicious distribution. the
only bad break being the intemperate
or accidental deluge June when the
bottom dropped out OF the sky.
It would not be a justifable claim
to represent that tho astonishing
change in the climate and prccipita
tion OF southern Colorado is to be
permanent but We can promptly con-
tradict any representations. whether
made from mere negligent ignorance
or otherwise. that southern Colorado
is land OF arid drouth where agricul-
ture il impossible without continued
irrisation and where pasturage is In
visible.

The continued dry spell has been
 broken,
 For the rain continuously fell, And mother earth is indeed refreshed And is lovlier than we ever could
 tell. And after the rain had ceased falling The north wind old Jack Frost did
 bring. Fat hogs led to the butchering place And farmers are happy as a king. On account of the streams which
 were swollen Our mail out from Conway was de-
 layed Until Monday, and now we are read

 But stale news is better than than
 none, we said. The health of our people seems fairly
 good, And quite number are getting up

 cold nights When the fire always gleams so won-
 drously bright. Everyone seems so busy our news is
 brief, Which I'm sure to the editor is a
 relief. But we've almost finished our com-

 for long time. Thanksgiving day is indeed quite And we trust that to all twill bring
