There is still strong reason 10 suppose

encouragement is found. however. in the
increase in the number of certificates

PHOTOPLAY OPENS

The Photoplay opened Saturday
night under new management. The
program was a long one and took
nearly two hours to give same. II
consisted of six reels of pictures and
a vaudeville act in which the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. f. Lee
took a prominent part. The house
was crowded and number were
turned away. Monday night an
other big program was given and
the attendance was nearly as good as
Saturday night. Messrs. Small and
Bowers are pushers and will surely
make a success. They have installed
new $3.50 machine and will make
such other improvements as they
deem necessary to please their pa
irons.

ROCK LAND TRIBUNE

X. +. Brohlin drove To Tucumcari
last week for load of lumber. 1t
is remarkable that farmers have to
go forty-five miles for lumber for
lack of yard at their home town.
Rock Island is badly in need of a
coal and lu mber dealer.
1t is reported artesian water has
been struck at the Bell ranch, a few
miles north of Montoya, at about
sixty feet. A flow was encountered
tina, outputs about a gallon minute.
Montoya and Revuelto, this county
recently voted on local option with
the result that Montoya gave seven
teen votes for prohibition and fifty
three against it, or thirty-six major
ity against the adoption of the sys-
tenn. Revuelto voted; for prohibi.
tion, none; against, ffty-nine.
Which means both towns will retain
their saloons.

ANOTHER HONEST BOY

Some time ago the news related
the fact that one of our boys who
sells daily papers was given a five
dollar gold piece instead of a nickel
by a travelling man, The boy re-
membered the man and returned the
money To him before the man had
discovered his loss.
Now comes Buster Jones, who
finds nice watch whom some person
had lost on the street, and turns
same over to the city marshal to find
the owner This watch may be had
by proving ownership.
This circumstance is one that hap
pens very seldom, especially when
a boy finds an article Of this nature,
but Buster is "A boy Of quality. and
deserves recognition for this display
of honesty. The watch will be pre-
sented to him if the owner is not To-
Gated.

MANY SURPRISES

Phoenix, Ariz. Nov. "a. More
than one surprise was concealed in
the official returns from the election
held on Nov. 3. For instance, anti
blacklist bill and industrial pursuits
act were carried and not defeated
as first believed. The industrial
pursuits bill which gives the state
the right to embark in any kind of
business, was approved by a ma.
jority of 9ll votes. The anti-black-
list bill received majority of only
1868.
On no question was the vote so
close as on the constitutional amend
ment removing the power of the
legislature TO amend or repeal any
initiated measure. This passed by
only SO votes.
Governor Hunts anti-capital punish
ment bill was defeated by 1853 votes.
His power to reprieve and pardon
convicts was removed by 1872 votes.
That is, the bill passed by the legis-
lature placing that power in the
hands of pardon board which was
referred to the voters, was sug-
tanned.
II was Maricopa county that made
Arizona dry. In this county there
were S692 votes for the statewide
prohibition amendment and 1851
against it, dry majority of 37il.
The dry majority in the state was
Sl44. Graham, Apache, Navajo
and Yuma were the other dry coun-
ties.
BY overwhelming majorities, the
amendment limiting the holding of
prohibition elections to once in eight
years. reclamation bond issue, high
way bond issue, exposition appro-
priations, county division bill. Aus
tralian system of taxation, Mama
county bill and county seat removal
bill were defeated. On the Mama
county measure the vote was 80, ,05S
to 5SSS. No other measure was so
badly beaten.
There was comparatively small
majority of 2l92 against the bill
providing for the semi-annual pay
ment of taxes.

An excellent specimen of the bird
which has become even more repres-
entative of America than the en-
blematic eagle. Like a great many
of our customs. Thanksgiving day
was first celebrated by the Pilgrim
Fathers. II was on the 2lst of No
vember in 1920 that the one hundred
and two brave souls, after Il perious
journey of nine weeks in the May
flower, landed on the rocky shore Of
Cape Cod. After surviving a long
hard winter. during which they suf.
fered from lack of food. intense cold
and raids by the Indians, the Pill
grims were blessed with "A bright
summer, during which the Pilgrims
harvested fine crop from the fields
they had planted The second win
ter was not expected to be- as bad as
the first as the warm weather con-
tinued well on into the autumn
months.
Deeply religious in all things, the
Pilgrims looked upon all this as the
blessing of a kind providence. To
show their appreciation a thanksgiv-
ing feast was planned. William

CATTLE STEAL.
ING CASE HEARD HERE
LAST FRIDAY
Defendant Claims He Didn't
Know Strange Cattle Were
In His Herd

Bill Boykin. who lives north of
Logan was arrested last week charg-
ed with having stolen two head of
neat cattle. The preliminary trial
was held at the courthouse before
Justice McElroy.
The defendant claims that he was
driving five or six hundred cattle
from this country to some point in
Texas when these two head joined
them enroute and that he knew moth
ing about it. One of the witnesses
for the prosecution stated that he
called Boykin's attention to the pres
ence two head of Martinez cattle
with the bunch.
After the hearing of the testimony
of some ten witnesses the defendant
was bound over to await the action
of the grand jury. He was released
after giving $500 bond for appear

He was man who had never ex-

LEAVE VERA
CRUZ UP TO MEXICANS

Veracruz, Mex, Nov. 23-The
American forces of occupation under
Gen. Frederick Funston. after
stay in Veracruz Of seven months.
today began embarking on the steam
ships which will return them to the
United States.
The outposts began falling back
at q o'clock in the morning, and
two hours la,er the first American
soldiers were going over the sides
of the waiting transports.
Gen. Funston established his head
quarters on board the transport
Cristobal ana all the organizations
began at daylight the work of NOV
ing out their equipment preparatory
To final evacuation. Everything
progressed smoothly.
Beyond the American outposts
there had been mobolized during
the night a force of Constitutional
lists. As the Americans withdrew,
first from the outlying districts and
then from the city itself, the Consti-
tutionalsts followed them along and
nominally occupied the territory
evacuated.
The city is quiet, but the inhabit-
ants are nervous and apprehensive
concerning the final outcome of
this transfer of authority. All sa-
looms in Veracruz remained closed to-
day on orders of Gen. Funston, and
many commercial establishments de-
cided not To open their doors.
The government of Veracruz is
not being turned over to any faction
of Mexicans. The territory is being
evacuated, and as fast as the Amer
leans go out Constitutionalists are
coming in.
The American army officials are
taking with them the moneys collect
ed for custom and from other sour
ces Of revenue. These ultimately
will go to some Mexican government
which the United States deems a
proper one to receive them.
The American quartermaster de
partment has arranged to take away
from Veracruz about 300 Mexicans
who did not care to be in the city
when their countrymen again came
into possession.

BRAKEMAN MEREDITH
HAS MIRACULOUS ES.
CAPE FROM DEATH
Buried Under Three Cars of
Coal He was Rescued by
Fellow Trainmen

Sunday evening break caused by
a defective wheel, il is thought, re-
suited in the derailment of eleven
coal cars.
Brakeman w. o. Meredith was
riding one Of the derailed cars at the
time of the accident, and was thrown
to the ground amidst a tangled mass
Of iron and coal where three coal
cars had piled up in a triangular
shape. He was buried under five
feet of coal, and over this mass
hung the overturned car.
His brother trainmen heard faint
call and hurridly responded. 1t was
through their heroic efforts that
enough coal was removed to make
an air shaft TO his face, and by stren-
uous effort he was finally removed
from his death trap.
He was removed to the Tucumcari
Hospital where everything possible
was done to relieve his sufferings.
Though suffering from severe shock,

ries, he is resting quietly at this
time, and efforts to save his leg are
expected To he successful.
Tuesday evening his sisters and

SALAZAR BREAKS JAIL

The escape of Gen. Jose YneZ Sala-
zar from the Bernalilo county Jail is
not the sort of advertising this state,
this county, this city needs. II saw
ors too much of an affair of old Mex
leo, rather than of a state of the
American union
The whole affair was planned with
consummate skill and the planners
Of il were entirely familiar with con-
ditions in albuquerque and its envir-
ons, The head work was not done
by strangers.
Salazar should not be permitted to
escape from this state. IL is by no
means probable that he is more than
three miles from the county court
house. In other words, he is some
where in this vicinity,
Whatever money can do for him,
will be done, for he has il in abun-
dance. There has been no Mexican
general of his Importance and indie
pendence of operation that has come
out of or remained in that country
who has not had an abundance of
ready cash. All of them have taken
what they could get their hands on.
and as there was nothing for which
to spend it, taking all the things
they desired by force, they have it,
or most of il yet. Therefore, it is
quite safe to say that Salazar has
plenty of money with him.
Also he has efficient thugs at his
service, as was shown by the efforts
made 20 kill the deputy sheriff at
the Jail. Whoever else may have
foreknown of the raid on the Jail,
the deputy sheriff was innocent.
There should be and doubtless
will be a most searching investiga-
tion made. The United States gov
ernment does not do things by halves,
and its agents will continue on the
track of the conspirators long after
it has captured or lost hope of re-.
capturing Salazar, unless the mys.
terry should be easily unraveled. TIL,
government has "a long arm and q
sure one when there is occasion t.
use it to the utmost. Albuquerqu,

CHRISTMAS PARCELS

Washington, November 20 Post
master General Burleson to-day di-
rected all postmasters 10 make pre-
parations at once for quick and eff
fective distribution of the largest
bulk Of Christmas mail handled in
the history of the department. The
directors include an announcement
that supplies of placards urging the
public to mail parcels early, wrap
them securely and address them plain
ly. will be sent out for display in
all post-oflices' and that parcels mail
ed early may bear the words; Not
to be opened until Christmas "
Postmasters are advised that the
preparatory measures must be per-
fected well in advance of the rush
period. Mail must not be permitted
to accumulate and clerks and carriers
should be encouraged to put forth
their best efforts at this season, If
necessary, extra clerks and carriers
may be employed,
The timeliness of gifts depends
upon their being received ON or be-
fore Christmas day; early mailing
insures this, whereas the practice of
mailing packages late in the hope
that they will reach their destination
on Christmas day is likely to defeat
its own object through unavoidable
delay due to the consequent comics
tion of the mails, says the post
master generals letter.
At the large city offices the carrier
force and delivery equipment will he
specially organized for the effective
performance of the task which will
be imposed upon the service. This
is to be done in such a way as to adj
nit of expansion from day to day as
the growing business demands.
Postmasters must make out appli-
cations in advance for necessary aux
iliary allowances. Allowances for
clerk hire, may be asked for by let

According to reports that are COM
ing in from the half-dozen threshers
that are now running threshing
maize, that crop is showing a big
average yield. Some report AZ high
as 40 bushels per acre and from that
on down to 30 buahels, the average
being considerable above 80 bushels
per acre.
There are thousands Of acres of
maize to thresh and it is generally
conceded that more maize will be
shipped out Of Melrose than there
will be wheat and the wheat ship
ments will reach 100 carloads Of
maize.
A great many farmers have as
much as 1000 bushels of maize and
considerable number have double
that amount. Several farmers have
stated that they have enough feed
and grain to feed their stock for 8
years without planting another crop
and very few have less than enough
to feed all their stock for three years.
One farmer said;" don't have any
,dea how much grain ! have. filled
a bin 8xl3 after putting away enough
for my own use and then piled IL
wagon loads on the ground"
Another farmer who finished
threshing last week, built granary
TO hold 1900 bushels which he esti,
msted his yield would be, and after
filling this, filed all the sacks he
could get together and then pillet
some on the ground. He finished ur
by threshing his millet and said thai
after filling 80 sacks and two wagor
beds he would have to let the rest
