Roswell until the homes Of dry farm

country generally is level with good
grass and natural lakes formed in
many little depressions where they
catch the flOOdWaters from the noun
talns and afford water for the sheep.
In building the road, the contractors
cut off all the growth, scraped off the
pebbles and then gave IL a rolling.
With very little work. the rains keep
the road in splendid shape and a speed
OF 30 miles an hour is aften made by
the automobiles.
This mail and passenger route was
esta bIshed because of the long trip
necessary to get to the Rock Island
line from Roswell. 1t Is necessary by
train to leave Roswell at 6-35 in the
morning. travel north to Clovis, there

The trip requires the entire day, as
the train does not reach Vaughn until
after In the evening. on the auto,
mail and passengers do not leave ROs-
well until 1880 and they get to
Vaughn four and half to five hours
later. All the mail between Roswell
and the western world is carried on
this auto line and the contract is said
to be worth about $4,000 a year to the
company operating the line
Mail into Roswell from the west

Clovis and then down to Roswell
The automobile mail route has been
a great blessing for the people Of this
place in the way Of quick service and
many a commercial traveller also
speaks kindly words for the company
that collects tickets in the middle of
the journey and is always certain of
its pay for passage.

"Fat- Makes n Hit.

Roscoe ArbuckIe, who played the
part of Fat" was the principal coined
ian of the show. His work was great
and when the play appears at the whit
ney in Chicago he is sure to be given
lots of attention by the critics.
Muggins Perkins, who plays the part
of Nellie Perkins. was scintilating with
personality and was an exceedingly
strong character. The rest of the COM
pany. which is said to be composed
of students from the Uni
versity of California, was well
balanced.
There were a number of good musical
numbers. There are some rough corners
that will have to be rubbed off before
the com pany makes its first appearance
in Chicago but the defects are few ana
can easily be overcome.

THE CAMPUS MAKES HIT
AT HAMMOND THEATRE

THE Campus" the musical comedy
produced by Walter De Leon, a student
at the University of California. and said
to be the first musical comedy that was
ever produced in the far west ana
brought east. made great hit in Ham
mond last evening.
The Campus" is different. That is
the best thing that-can be said about 1t.
The old time worn stunts that are seen
In the average musical comedy were
cut out and new characters were in
delibly stamped with the freshness and
originality OF the far west
Even the chorus seemed different.
Instead of the mechanical dancing that
is part of every musical comedy the
chorus seemed to be one one continu-
Gus romp. Everybody seemed joyous
and happy and the play moved on to
the very end breathing the spirit OF
the west.
Walter DeLeon, the author of the
pla, essayed the leading part and MADE
good. His dancing with Muggins
Davis. the leading lady, was delight
to the audience. De Leon played thS
part of Bobby Short, the varsity yell
leader.

Hundreds of
Dollars
Hammond Man
Makes a
Confession,

After five years of suffering a Ham
mond man tells of his experience in
taking treatment of Dr. Leedy, who
has his office in Suites 80 and SO, Rim
bach building, over Lion Store. Ham,
mond, Ind. Concerning the intra-ven-
Gus treatment of which Mr.. Fowler
speaks, DR.. Leedy has printed a little
booklet and if you have not seen it
you should stop in and get one. 1t
also tells of other sanitarium treat
ments that are daily being given at
the Office and are of interest to all
sufferers that have taken treatment at
other places without entire satisfac-
ton. The doctor invites you to call
and inspect his Office and extends free
consultation to all. Read what Mr.
Fowler says of his treatments:
Il have been troubled with
rheumatism in my back, hips and
legs for at least five years. Only
those who have been thus afflict-
ed can have any idea of what ]
have suffered. No one can de.

out an exaggeration, | have spent
hundreds of dollars for various
treatments that have tried. Some
of them seemed to dome some good
but only for time, but many of
them did me no good at all At
last l saw DR.. Leedy's adver-
tisement and decided to try again.
His treatments were entirely diff
ferent. In addition to the medi-
cine and electrical treatments
that he gave me, he also injected
medicine into the veins, not n.y.
systematically. but directly into
| the veins. Relief became apparent
| in just a short time and there has
| been no return of the pains what
