 Past Officers Presented
 Mrs. c. M. Merchant, Chatam, Va, presented the ex-president generals to the convention, each msking a short talk in their turn, Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson, Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone, Mrs4 Cordelia Powell Odenheimer, Miss Mary B. Poppen- helm and Mrs Roy W. Mckinney.
 Mrs. Stone is known and was in- troduced as the Sweetheart of Con- federacy." Mrs. Stone has passed the s3 landmark and yet possesses a youthful spirit It was she who went from Texas to Washington dur ing the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt and persuaded him to replace the name of Jefferson Davis on the Cabin John Bridge. When introduced by Mrs. Merchant, she responded quickly:
 My daughters, love you, but l love the Confederate veterans best of all. They were the finest soldiers on the earth. request that you teach your children how matchless were the soldiers of the south that they may pattern after them. Not only did the men of the south do fierce fighting during the sixties. but the women as well. They were known as the the women who stood behind the men as they fought.
 This opening session was inter spersed with a musical program. which included solo by Mrs. Mary Cowherd, soprano. and a violin solo by Mrs. George R. Evans, Louisville, Kentucky.

 complete collapse of the mark, with
 serious reaction in other Euro

 The only way in which Germany
 can be saved. from such problem,
 it Is declared, is by stabilization of
 the mark at figure which would
 restore, in a measure, international
 confidence.
 All the allied nations realize the
 seriousness of the situation in Ger many, but no European country Is able to export the needed grain There is a possibility, the experts
 say, that some grain may be hal from Russia, but America is expected to supply virtually all the German needs.
 This food question may hasten an agreement among the allies concern ing Germany's reparations, although there has been no indication that Premier Poincare has changed his mind about exacting further rigid guarantees as a means of compell- ing the Reich to meet its indemnity payments.
 The reparations problem is now in suspense until after the British elcc- tions, after which the commission is expected to make another effort to agree on some sound economic plan In which sentiment shall not play a part.
 NJ. Barthon, French representative and president of the separations commission, ts believed to see tho urgent need of such a course, and the position of the commission is that, even though Germany may be largely to blame for her present diff faculties. these difficulties neverthe- less exist and must be dealt with 70 prevent financial and economic crash.

GERMAN PREPARATIONS NOTE IS MADE PUDLIC


 Berlin. November 14.-The German note to the reparations commission, made public today contends that final stabilization of the mark can only be possible. after the repara- tions question has been definitely settled in accordance with Ger many's capacity to pay. Since Germany cannot await such final settlement, she proposes a provisional one, but even to achieve this. foreign assistance must bs forthcoming. The Reichsbank is de- clared to be in readiness to place 500, ,o00, 900 gold marks at the disposal of the government for the purpose of stabilization.
 The project. it is set forth. de- bends on the following conditions: First--Germany must be freed for three or four years from all pay ments In cash or in kind under the treaty of Versailles, although she will continue to make, deliveries in kind for the devastated areas so far as these do not entail any increase in her flcating debt.
 Second-Germany considers she should receive a minimum of DOG, ,000,- 900 gold marks from foreign banks.
 The foregoing conditions Reichs-
 
 releasing its gold reserve. The money to be advanced by the Reichsbank and by the foreign banks, will be administered by an independent board. When the progress of stabili- zation is sufficiently advanced. the German government will issue an internal gold loan.
 Half the proceeds of the interna- tional loan and the full yield from the foreign loans will be utilized to cover over the payments in cash and in kind due under the Versailles treaty and the other half of the proceeds of the internal loan will be applied to the requirements of Ger many's own budget.
 These measures, it is declared. will enable Germany to balance her bud get check the increase in her float ing debt and discontinue discount ing treasury bills with the Reichs- bank. Germany moreover states that. she will abolish all dispensable depart ments. reduce the number of tf- ficials, avoid unproductive expendf- ture, restrict legislation entailins additional expenditure and reorgsn- Ike the government enterprises on a productive basis. c S4ctAAdhy VIII tdke all TeQul9fte measures to increase production while retaining the eight hour day as the, normal working day, and will i restrict the Importation and con- sumption of luxuries and alcohol. In order to execute the foreeoins plans. Germany proposes: First-Final settlement upon the amount of Germany's obligations at the earliest possible moment, so that these obligations, together with the iiqWdation of the loans can be met frds4 the budget surplus. Second; Freedom from payments in cash and in kind under the Yer sailles treaty. with the reservation. previously mentioned.

Girls Play Close Game
Troopers Beat Moosie
In Basketball Battle

A closely contested game
between the Alumni girls and
the local high girls Wednes-
day night resulted in a Is to
~ score with the Alumni on
the winning end. The game
furnished all that anyone
could ask in the way of basket
ball enthusiasm and excite
ment. The high school girls
played n brand of basketball
that promises the other high
schools plenty of opposition
and heaps of worry ere the
season has ended. The Alumni
girls showed the fans that
they haven't forgotten how to
play the game. The following
girls played for the Alumni:
Ruth Short md Mrs. w. r.
Mcneil. forw s; Leah
Wright, running center; Edith
Mccormick, jumping center;
Josephine Hopper and Chloe
Mathis, guards.
After the girls game, the
troop five staged n marathon
with the Alamosa athletic
club rs the guests. After the
dust had cleared away the
local boys We're discovered
leading by the score of 55 10
s. The troop boys state that
II seems good to be on the big
end of the score after taking
two defeats from Manassa and
Center last Friday and Satur-
day nights. The troop teams

basketball material to work
with and will improve right
along ms the season grows

sands of bales of cotton are

its being marketed.
Today the farmers in Ari-

Regarding the outlook for
better prices for our potatoes,
Mr.. Barber is not optimistic on
account of the general depres-
sion and lack of buying power.
Large jobbers who have form
erly been in the market for

Old Mexico as far as Chihua-
hua. He witnessed bull
fight at Juarez as matter Of

does not have a chance.
Juarez boasts l3O saloons and

Baby Dies From,
Eating Talcun,

The six-months old baby
girl of Mr.. and Mrs. Milo Will
son died Thursday afternoon
as the result of eating zinc
stearate", which is a prepar.
alton put up in boxes and used
as a talcum powder.
The baby had been playing
with the box of power in the
forenoon and at that time
must have sifted out a guam
tity of the stearate and ate
the same. She became sick
about 2:3O in the afternoon
and passed away at 4:3O
O'Clock. AS soon as it was
seen that the child was sick,
Mrs. Bowsher. who is a gradu.
ate nurse. was called and she
supplied first aid treatmen, at
once. Soon after a physician
arrived and everything was
done that could possibly af-
ford relief.
This seems to be the strang-
est case of record. The zinc
powder has been regarded as
harmless and it seems incon-
ceivable that a child would be
able to eat enough of it to do
harm. 1t is a theory advanced
that the stearate was soluble
in the acids of the stomach and
set up such an irritation as to
cause acute indigestion. caus-
ing death.
The people Of the commun-
ity deeply sympathize with the
heart-broken parents in their
bereavement.

Outlet from San Juan Basin
To Los Angeles Is Practically
Assured Of Speedy Realization

ton Of railroad over this
route is said to be of minimum
expense as the grades are easy
and all open country.
The San Juan people are to
be congratulated in their CO.
operation in pledging their
land guarantee and while
there are many details to be
worked out, it seems practicar
ly certain that they will have
their desired outlet to the
coast. The Los Angeles syndi-
cate, if carrying out their part
of the contract. will be the
means of opening up one Of
the richest sections of Colo
RADIO. The principal resource
of the San Juan basin is the
immense deposit of coal.

railroad into the San Juan
basin there should follow q
connection to the same by a

road from the San Luis val
ley. This would be the solu-
ton of our marketing prob

The people of the San Juan
basin have completed the first
step for securing a railroad
from Durango to Los Angeles.
They have subscribed the re-
quired acreage of land to
guarantee building a railroad
from Durango south to con-
meet with the present main
coast line. Land to the net
amount of $2,500,vOO has bee..
filed and approved and it is
now up to the Los Angeles syn

construction of the road.
We understand that the pur-
pose is to connect the propos-
ed road with the Santa Fe

is between Albuquerque and
