FOCH VISITS GRAND CANYON OF ARIZONA
 AS LFC|ON'S GUEST

GRAND CANYON, Ariz., Dec. B. Marshal Foch rode a mule here to- day but found mule riding too tedious and soon dismounted. Later he re- viewed his staff and members of the American Legion party as they came burro back up Hermit trail. Han ford MacNider, national commander of the American Legion; Franklin D'Olier, past national commander, and Alvin T. Roberts, chairman of the Legion's reception committee, passed in review. Members of the marshal's staff who Chit the trail" included General Desticker, his chief of staff; Comte de Chamdrun, great grandson of Lafayette; Major de Merry and Captain L'Hopital, aides, and Lieutenant de Scuboyran.
 The American Legion Foch special arrived here at 1 o'clock this after noon. The French tri-color was fly ing from the hotel and a reception committee was waiting to greet the distinguished visitor. Ernest Hall, acting governor of Arizona, came to the Grand Canyonto extend an off cial welcome to the state. On his arrival here the marshal was escorted to Fl Tovar Point, where he had his first view of the canyon. He stood in awe and although he has said that the biggest thrill today maybe trivial tomorrow, he seemed deeply inn pressed.
 Rides Around Rim
 After posing for photographs for perhaps the thousandth time since his arrival in this country, the mar shal boarded bus for trip around the "Rim." Stops were made at Hopi Point, Pima Point and Her mit's Rest, where the marshal and his party had tea.
 Before reaching Hermit's Rest, the marshal left hiscar and walked two miles for exercise, his entire party following, hiking. At the Rest the marshal greeted Father Vabre of Flagstaff, who had some to the can yon with the Arizona American Le- zion delegation. The marshal said that the visit here had given him more rest than any day of his tour. He inquired about the geological structure of the canyon and described it as "the most gorgeous sight, he ever had seen.
 The marshal was presented with a Navajo blanket on behalf of the Flag staff, Ariz., post of the American Legion, and several Indian dances were executed.
 The Legion Foch special pulled away from here at 6 p. m. with Flag staff as it's next objective. A stop will be made tomorrow at El Paso and the following day at San An tonic and Houston.
 Children Greet Here
 The first stop made by the special today was at Ash Fork, Ariz., where a crowd of school children cheered Marshal Foch and part of the Arl- zona delegation came aboard the train. At Williams a crowd sur rounded the marshal's car and Com mander MacNider made an address, after which school children sang the national anthems of France and America
 The Arizona American Legion del egation which is accompanying the party across the state includes Geo. w. Nilsson and John L. Sullivan ot Prescott; Oscar Ruggles and Bert Cringan of Phoenix; A. L. Wfnsett ot Tucson, and c. B. Heisser, F. H. Chisholm and J. Harry Bowen ot Flagstaff. Colonel Walter s.

OVER FOUR THOUSAND CARS

Exactly 4O95 cars of pota-
toes have been shipped
from the San Luis valley this
season from August lst to
December 1st. 1t is variously
estimated that there are still
1000 to $500 .ars remaining
to be shipped.
There still continues an al
most negligible demand and
local prices hold under and
around a dollar. The stu
alton seems to be that there is
a large holding in warehouses

patton of high prices. A re-
port comes, however, that the

johnson OF Monte was the only
real all-around snapper back" In
the conference and his defensive
work as floating center was OF tho
highest order. His work In the
Monte-Del Norte game at Del Norts
stamped him as one OF the most
valuable men on the Monte team.
There Is considerable material in
the backfield. but the selections
made We feel will stack up against
anything In the valley.
MaNon OF Center at quarter was
the choice OF most people who saw
all the teams perform. He has a
good head, keeps cool and handles
his team in fine shape. His work
on returning punts was high class
and he is dependable defensive
safety.
Adams OF Del Nor,e is big. hard
hitting halfhack. whose work this
season greatly helped Del Norte's
excellent showing.
Gonzales of Monte. at the other
half is our choice because OF his
all around ability at carrying the
ball and his value as defensive
back. His work this season was
consistent and he played good foot
ball the season through.
Posse of Del Norts at fullback
completes the team. Posses work
all season entities him to this place
on the team.
We feel sure that this choice will
not please everyone. but we believe
II Will meet with the approval OF
most OF the valley coaches. We may

tion of trying.

The 2. J. Fort Produce COM
pany have made final arrange
ments for the raising of about
500 acres of what will be call
ed "San Luis Valley Mountain
Head Lettuce" The growers
include over a hundred farm
ers, gardeners, business men
and others, and the acreage
ranges from one acre to five
acres and at that rate will give
every grower chance TO
make good if he strongly de-
sides to do so.
This lettuce proposition has
been given considerable pub
licity by many large newspa-
pers and magazines, discuss
ing the possibilities, and in
time this will be fully appre-
ciated, but it is up to the pros
pective grower and field men

a time when very useful and
needed.

Sanderson & Son, Fred Speis-
er, J. H. Neal, H. G. More
craft, A. G. Robertson and a
few others. The bulls will
range in age from eight
months old calves to two year
olds; so the prospective buyer
will be able to get what he
wants in this line.
A committee consisting of
three breeders, j. X. Holmes,
T. A. Milner and Secretary j.
7. Pennington were named by
President Morecraft to meet
with a like committee from the
Hereford association Saturday,
December II, at A p. m. in the

The c0nsignors to the sale
state that their animals are all
in good condition; but even
so. plenty of the valleys cheap
feed placed in front of them
along with frequent applica.
tions of the curry comb and
brush will do no lasting in
jury to the animals. At least,
have your bull in such condi.
ton when he comes up at the
sale that he will not be asham.
