THE PEOPLES
FORUM

A Homesteader Breaks the Ice
To The Herald:
| notice, MIR. Editor, that you Offer
the columns of your paper to your
readers, during the winter months,
for writing about most any subject.
This may be a good idea and | have
been thinking l would like to try and
write something myself but am not
sure just what you have in mind.
A fellow gets to thinking about a
lot of things out on a homestead in
the winter time, but what one thinks
about might not be of much interest
to anybody else. Or maybe the edi-
tor would not want to print it. 1t
seems to me that if the editor would
pick out some things to write about
and make a kind of outline to follow
it would be easier for those who feel
like tackling a letter for the Her
AIDS forum column"
One thing my wife and / have
thought a good deal about and talk
ed over between us is the question
of finding a better place to move to if
we left this country. We thought the
paper probably would not want to
print stuff along this line, but it
might not turn out so bad Oh give
this part of the country such a black
eye, after all. So far as we got with
the discussion here at home we could
not settle on any place where we
would be sure we could win out, un-
less we had a farm already paid for
in some eastern state. We have had
about as tough luck as most of them
around here, but without money we
can't see how we could do better by
moving to a new place than sticking
here.
We are in real earnest about this
matter and if any other busted home
steader has notions on the topic, and
the editor will print them we would
ike to read what he has to say.
Another matter l would like to see
taken up is how we can save the
moisture so as to get the most out of
It. There is lots of theories but what
got to learn is what plan works
best right here. If we can make the
moisture that we get raise enough
'eed for stock it will mean a big
hing to us. How many have tried
following? And how did it !,
work? |
Note The "Homesteader' has
.aised two very proper and pertinent
questions. The editor considers the !

PARIS, Dec. 24.-There was no question at the London discussions of France abandoning the guarantees given by the Versailles treaty for the payment of reparations by Ger many" Premier Briand declared in the chamber of deputies this after noon, replying to an interpolation by Louis Klotz. the former minister of finance. "Mr. Lloyd George at no moment suggested that in the forth coming conference France should be asked to make the slightest sacrifice. The entente between France and Great Britain is as complete and as strong as possible"
 NJ. Klotz expressed the fear that the London conversations had com promised the rights of France, and that the result would of necessity further increase the tax burden oi the French people. while the Reichs- tag was decreasing the taxes of the Germans. which were already less than half the taxes paid by the French.
 T cannot think of decreasing oul taxes" NJ. Briand said. but we mus avoid further increasing them, ant that is one of the things we ar going to do at Cannes
 The acute situation was the out. ! come of deplorable economic con ditions. according to the premier ans 1t was impossible for Europe to re. cover her equilibrium under sucl circumstances.

 MEXICAN BANDIT NAMES EIGHT IN
 CONFESSION OF DOUBLE MURDER
Jury Discharged In Silvas
 Case When Confession
 Names Defendant As Member of Kidding Gang

MORALES, Ariz., Dec. 24-Manuel Martinez made complete confession this afternoon to county officers and newspapermen here regarding the killing of Postmaster and Mrs. Frank Pearson during a raid on the post office-sto at Ruby, Ariz, last Aug. e- He implicated eight other men.
 While he was making his confess sion, the superior court jury here was considering its verdict in the case of Placido Silvas who was being tried on a charge of having murdered Postmaster Pearson. County Attor- ney A H. DeRiemer said Silvas would be tried again on charge of having murdered Mrs. Pearson.
 Shortly after Martinez completed his confession Judge V. A. O'Connor dismissed the jury which then had been considering the case from Il o'clock this morning until o'clock tonight. The vote on the final ballot stood ten for acquittal, two for con- viction, jurors said.
 Judge O'Connor, it is understood, feared that the jury would learn of Mariners confession in which Silvas was implicated, and would return a verdict of guilty because of the con- fession instead of returning yer dict solely on the testimony present ed in court. Martinez made his con- fession too late for it to be used against Silvas.
 Martinez, who Is a native of Mex fco. is a naturalized citizen of the United States. He was deported from Mexico late this afternoon on orders of President Obregon on the grounds that he was an undesirable alien As soon as he was put across the in rernationai line, he was arrested b5 Sheriff George White of this county and taken to the office of the county attorney where he made his comics sion.
 He said three men went into store during the raid and that th' rest of the band remained on tn outside. He said they got S13o il money and some other articles. The, took the stolen articles into Mexic' and there threw away United State postal money orders they had SC cured. he said.
 Testimony given during Silvas trial by Mrs. Rosa Rodriguez an Mrs. Jose Ortiz, state witnesses, . the bandits passed their homes O the way to the store. was corroborat ed by Martinez's confession. Bot women identified Silvas as havin been in the band.
