"ExTRAS" RUN UP COST
or BUILDING NEW HOME
Failure to Closely Estimate Small
Items Results in Stagger-
ing Bills. .

The so-called extras" are the
source OF most of the troubles and
disputes between the home builder
which look to be a small item, in a
closet or door, the extra windows, the
better woodwork that run into a stag
gerins bill If the owner is not careful.
If caught in time the extras would
have cost much less and perhaps
nothing at all.
The big source of extras is the in
complete original plan. the sketch
that has no specifications. The owner
probably will cost, but the word
probably" is dangerous word.
When the home is under way the
owner finds there are other things
that he wants-things that he simply
must have. Sometimes he puts them
in; then he tears his hair over the
bill.
Nine times out of ten the amount to
be spent for such things as electric
fixtures, hardware and decorations
runs out of sight unless there are
definite specifications to show just
what these items are to cost. Then
if the owner decides that he wants
fancy glass knobs. for instance. in
stead of inexpensive metal ones, he
knows he has to pay extra for them.
Minor changes often can be made
in a house without making much or
any more expense if these changes
are made before materials are bought
and before the work is under way.
If the owner waits until after the
work is started then the changes
nearly always cost an amount that
staggers him.

the grazing fees should be upon the
permanent basis as planned.
The Forest Service now for two
years has been gathering data on
which to substantiate a new system
of charges based on appraised value
of the forage, the range and access
sories. The officials are now round
ing-up" their information to the
point of reaching conclusions which
will be submitted to the stockmen
and their associations.
Similarly, our Association has

work to formulate definite ideas ON

conferences will be held by our AS

able fees to be charged on Arizona
ranges.
AS announced before, certain fact
ors will enter into the adoption Of a
fee-based on the appraised value of
the forage. Such factors principally
would be topography, accessibility of
of the forage, improvements placed
on the range, water developed in
the interest of better utilization,
marketing facilities, range handi-
caps and a comparison with value
of outside range.

under which the Forest Service,

fellow stockmen, and we urge the

our Association in this project, but
it is imperative that nothing be left

FRANCISCO VILLA
SLAIN FROM AMBUSH

Francisco Villa, the bandit leader
OF Mexico during the days Of the re-
volution in that country, better
known as Pancho Villa, was killed
from ambush as he and a party of
his friends and body guard were
driving into Parral last Friday
morning. His chief of staff, Colonel
Trilo, and three members of his es-
cort were also killed. From reports
the assassinatiOns were accomplish
ed bya half dozen men secreted in
a house where they had lain in wait
for several hours or possibly two or
three days. 1t is reported that three
members of the band of assassins
have been captured by General Mar
tinez and a detachment of soldiers a
short distance out of Parral. Villa,
it is known, had many enemies be-
cause of the things he had done in
the days of his banditry and leader
ship in Mexico, and some of these
enemies had sworn to get Villa. 1t
is the opinion of President Obregon
and others that the death of Villa
was the outcome of this hatred and
bitter feeling toward him. Villa,
himself, expected something of the
ments he had made.
Villa had been granted immunity
by the government a few years ago
and given a large tract of land for
himself and followers, on condition
that they cease their warfare and
settle down to peaceful pursuits
Villa had been living on this ranch
with a. large number Of his former
followers ever since and was ap-
parently determined to live up to
the agreement he had made with the
government. 1t is said that he had
something like 800 persons on the
ranch. 1t is also said that he had
an abundance of arms and amuni-
ton to be used for defense in case
of need. There is little question that
Villa stood in the way of peace in
Mexico so long as he was on the war
path and leading a rebellion. a
it seemed that he was willy enough
and was so familiar with the coun-
try that it was almost impossible to
catch him, so the next best thing
was to placate him and have him
settle down to a peaceful life on a
ranch. Villa became a fugitive
from justice and a bandit when he
was only eighteen years of age, as
the result of killing a man who had
wronged his sister Rebellion was
ground into his very nature from
that day to the end of his life. When
the MaderO revolution started he
fell in with the revolutionists, and
he continued a revo1utionist to the
day when he made peace with the
government under President Obre-
gon with whom he had fought in the
days of the Madero up rising and
against whom he had fought under
the Carranza regime.
Villas last big battle was at Aqua
Prieta, just across the line from
Douglas. The writer of this article

STUDEDAKER'S SALES
FOR FIRST HALF Of
YEAR 1880 CARS

Word has just been received by
The Old Trails Garage, local Stude-
baker dealer, Of the new record es-
tablished by The Studebaker Corpor-
alton of America for the first six
months of 1923, when a total of ST.
$50 Studebaker cars-all Skies were
sold
All Studebaker plants continue at
capacity operations and the present
output of $4,000 cars per month is
insufficient to meet the persistent de-
mand for more Studebakers from eve
ry section of the country, which is
as creator greater-than at any
time this year.
1t is well known that right from
the first of the year Studebaker has
experienced a demand that has con-
tinuously been far in excess of pro-
ductiOn, although the plant capacity
was substantially increased during
the spring when a number of new
factory units at South Bend and De-
troit, on which construction was
started late last year, were complet-
ed and equipped for production.
While Studebaker sales for the
past six years have increased pro-
gressively each year, the newest re-
cord can be better appreciated by
comparisons. The sale of $3.50 cars
in the first six months of 1928 shows
an increase of SO per cent over the
best previous six months business
in Studebaker histOry-that of 1922
when total of 60,053 cars were sold
Compared with sales for the entire
year Of 1918, the half-year record of
1928 shows an increase of 243 per
cent greater than sales for the full
twelve months of 1919. 1t exceeds
the sales of the full year 1920 by SO
per cent and is % per cent greater
than the sales for the complete year
of 1921
"Studebaker's accomplishment be-
comes even more significant" accord
ing to Mr.. Payne, when it is realized
that being large producer, Stude-
baker is strictly a builder Of high
quality cars which range in price from
1915 to $2750, and in capacity from
two to seven passengers, and that
Studebaker manufactures Skies ex-
clusively. To us it means that the
public wants quality and wants Skies
in ever-increasing numbers. And by
providing us with three distant mod
els, Studebaker has enabled us to fit
the buyer with the car he needs just
as the shoe salesman fits the shoe
to the foot, instead of trying to adapt
the car to the buyer. There are a
number of other reasons why Stude-
baker has been able to achieve new
records year after year. These in.
clude:
1-Seventy-one years experience
in the manufacture of high grade
vehicles.
2-Continuation of the founders
policies of honest value and integrity
S.-Manufacture of vital parts in
own plants, saving the middlemen's
profits and insuring the quality
4-Quantity production methods
in which the first and final conside-
ration is quality.
5-The name "Studebaker" which
is a household word throughout the
world
6-Organization of able, experien-
ced workers.
