CZECHS GIVE IN TO
POLL III NATION

Warsaw, Saturday, Oct. 1.-Po-
land delivered its "finap' ultlmatum
to Czechoslovakia early today, in
forming Prague that unless it agreed
Immediately to hand over the les
chen area, Polish troops would cross
the frontier and seize it.
It was reported from well-ln-
formed sources that the note, hand
ed the Czech minister almost on the
hour of the previous deadline for a
Czech surrender to Polish demands,
set noon today as the final hour for
satisfactory" reply.
The Polish note, which official
quarters said was the final de-
mand" before an armed attack on
the Czech border, was delivered
shortly after the Prague government
had replied to an earlier demand
with what a Polish spokesman
called a 'smaneuver for more delay"
More than 100000 Polish troops
were reported under arms, ready
to march.

Outdoor Xmas Tree Decorating

A project that should create more holiday spirit
"A than Nogales has had in many years was launch
ed by the Lions Club Tuesday.
The Lions voted to offer cash prizes for the best
decorated outdoor Christmas trees
For several years there has been a few such trees
here but not enough There should be several times
the number of former years, and with the Lions be-
hind the decorating project it is believed there will
be.
To compete for the Lions prizes does not
that you must have native tree in your yard. Any
evergreen tree will do, whether it is growing in your
yard has to be bought. The kind brought in from
the forests and purchased at stores last long time.
They be mounted and decorated as easily as the
one that stands in your yard throughout the year.
Many outdoor trees decorated several weeks be-
fore Christmas, and the lights kept burning each
night until after Christmas, will do much to add to
the holiday spirit
Let's all get behind the Lions in this project deco
rate our own yard and encourage neighbors to
do likewise!

Something New For Farmers

The automobile makers are beginning to let the
public in the secrets of their new models. Every
one Of them has improvements and refinements Of
construction and design, intended to increase the
comfort and safety of those who ride in them.
Looking over the advance announcements it
seems apparent that anybody who buys any Of the
new 1888 models will get better car for his money
than he has ever been able to get before.
There is only radical innovation in motor
hcles that has come to our attention. While every
body has been trying to make motoring COM
Portable for those who use their vehicles only for
road travel nobody heretofore has thought of MAX
ing it more comfortable for the man who rides over
plowed ground-the farmer who drives tractor. If
comfort is not needed there it would be hard to say
where it is needed.
The newest thing in tractors has enclosed cab
with safety glass, cushioned seats for two is air
ventilated and provided with heater for cold
weather. It has self-starter, electric cigar
lighter complete set of head and tail lights, and
even radio. If that doesn't take lot of the hard
work and monotony out of farming, what would?
This new motor vehicle, in addition to being able
to pull plows dharrows across the field can ego
to town" at forty miles hour on the highway,
hauling one more trucks to market One imagines
that might also serve as a vehicle for joyriding
moonlight nights
At least, it is something new in farm equipment.

Business Barometer Bullish

NINETEEN-THIRTY-N NINE will be the best year
A'for business and industry in decade" That SEN
tence accurately sums up the views of numerous eco
nonic forecasters today. In their opinion the
cry movement which was staggering and uncertain
when it began seven eight months ago. will con-
tinue to gain both in strength and velocity.
The forecasters, of course, have been wrong be-
FORE and grievousy So But it is fact that at pres
ent opinion is amazingly unanimously as to the pleas
ant prospects ahead for the immediate future You
can find many an authority who is dubious over the
longtime OutlOok-Who, for instance, believes that
governments greatly-stimulated pump -prining ac-
tvties going to the county plenty Of troub
le in years shortly ahead But you'll have hard job
finding an authority who doubts that next year will
be the most prosperous since the depression began.
AS the conservative anal yst puts it, Recovery shows
signs OF sackening"
Biggest recent optimistic news was the announce
ment of tremendous spending drive by the nations
utilities. Representatives of IA major systems met
with the President in Washington, and news dis
patch phrases it, "And display of friendliness which
lett the capital guessing announced far-reacA-
ing program to strengthen national defense and stm
uate industry by expanding private power facilities
Details involve spending at least 600 in the
next two years "a sum double the recent rate of cap
ital expenditure by the industry and buying suff
cent equipment to add 100000 horsepower to exist
ing capacity And this, it is said> is only the first
stage-if plans go through as scheduled, still greater
expansion will follow.
Excellent augury is the automobile industrys rapid
emergence from the economic doghouse The severe
shutdown in production that took place last spring
and summer strong depression factor. By the
same token, the unlooked-for improvement in pro-
duction and demand now-which has caused some
makers to change their plans and embark on more
elaborate ventures than they thought wise few
months ago-is strong recovery factor. Important
byproduct in this field has been substantial amount
of high-wage reemployment
In brief the barometers give the commentator
every reason for being bulish today. There may be
minor setbacks especially in security values, where
considerable profttakng at intervals is to be expect
ed But it seems certain that next year will be as good
as any year since 193O-and in all probability better
