CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES

The city council met in regular ses-
sion last Friday night with most of
the members present.
After the regular routine of busi-
ness was gone through with the mayor
proceeded to use the axe with a view
to cutting down expenses for time
at least. Mr.. Akin, the night police,
was layed off indefinitely and Fred
Groves retained as city marshal and
meat inspector.
One Of the street men was layed off
leaving Ed. Kreger to handle that part
of the business. A move was made
to cut Oft n few of the street light but
this was blocked and will be taken
up at the next meeting night. A COM
mittee on ways and means was ap-
pointed to look after the financial sit
uation and perhaps this committee will
find some way to handle things until
the 1915 taxes begin to come in.

ANNUAL s. s. CONVENTION

On the morning Of Saturday, Nov.
6, the annual County Sunday School
Convention convened at the Methodist
church in Tucumcari. Supt. Pack,
who is the county president, presided
Mrs. II. p. Donohoo gave the openiGg
discussion in a delightful address on
"What the Town Has Right To Ex-
pect of the Sunday School in the Tenn
perance Fight" In her quiet intrepid
way, Mrs. Donohoo gave some very
plain, incontrovertable facts regard
ing the prohibition situation in our
midst, and raised the county prohi-
bition slogan for the next campaign.
Rev. A. II. Dent of Logan spoke
on "The Bible in the Public Schools"
Rev. p. b. Henderlite gave master
ly short address on american Civil
ization," worthy Of publication in full.
Rev. f. ID. Raley, our travelling sec
retary, spoke on Teacher Training"
and :isiting clergymen contributed to
the interest of the general discussions.
In the afternoon Rev. +. j. Hoering
spoke on Boys" and Mrs. Samuel
Keefanuer of Lawrence Kansas, on
Elementary Work." The address of
Prof. w. ID. Shadwick on the subject
Psychology in Sunday School Work"
was earnest and practical ir every
phase. As fitting close, Hon. II. II.
McElroy gave the concluding address
on "The Sunday Schools Place in the
Temperance Fight" demonstrating
with logic and conviction the moral
obligation Of the Sunday school as an
institution and of the church-man as
an individual. Every utterance was
advisedly spoken, but was unequivocal
and uncompromising in its declara-
tion Of principles. With such be-
ginning and such an ending, the con-
vention could not be otherwise than n
decided success, strong prohibition
sentiment pervading it throughout the
day.

THE BOSS"

Holbrook Blinn and Alice Brady are
the stars Of "The Boss" the five-reeI
VIM. A. Brady photoplay which will
he presented at the New next Monday
night.
Alice Brady Is the heorine Of this
photoplay which Is based upon one
of the greatest successes of her father
William A. Brady. Miss Brady plays
the part Of the young wife Of Michael
Regan, the political and financial Boss
who has risen to power and dominance
by sheer force Of iron determination
TO succeed; TO meet and demolish OBJ
stacles; TO triumph in spite of all. TO
win out at all hazards in the game of
life. The overmastering nay, the col
ossal personality of this character
stands out in strong contrast to that
Of the "Boss's" wife, Emily Griswold.
Holbrook Blinn Is the Boss" Mr..
Blinn's powerful. vigorous acting Is
well suited to the part of "The Boss"
This Is Mr.. Blinn's first appearance
before the camera, and his work, in
the opinion OF all who have seen il,
stamps him as one OF the greatest mo-
tion picture actors in the world.
Alice Brady and Holbrook Blinn in
THE Boss" constitute n combination
of dramatic values, which make the
offering intensely exciting and inter-
esting.

of class against class in n republic
like our own, and the false basis of
an American aristocracy, contains a
romance that has e heart appeal Of
the strongest, Henry Kolker, as the
struggling young engineer in charge
Of construction on the great bridge
who wins the mistress of millions by
sheer might Of his manhood from the
idle, cynical and equally wealthy suit
or of her own social caste, registers

reer. Renee Kelly, who plays the part
Of the girl, gives him splendid sup
port.

Rebecca Everest, whose piece entitled
"The Convict's Violin" Third place
to George Elkins, who gave an inter-
esting piece entitled "The Night Run

as good as the declamatory contest.

the subject of his discourse" and he
handled it like veteran. Jack Pullen
was second in oratory. He spoke on
the subject of "War, Peace and Pa
triotism." Herbert Gerhardt won 3rd
place on the subject of "School Athe-
letics."

training and we hope they will only
do as well at Albuquerque in compe-
tition with the state.
Tucumcari has the reputation and
rightfully deserves it, as being one
Of the very best schools in the state
in any line its attempts to handle. The
schedule for the basket ball league

the best games ever played in this
city. The High School has a record

therefore, has an abundance Of ma

clues that led them to believe that
the fugitive had wandered into the
swamp district. This was danger
GUS and interminable swamp spot,
and three days after the disappear
ance of Mrs. Mason fire had swept
the greater portion of it. There was
every reason to believe that Mrs. Ma
son had persisted.
A distressing feature Of her fate
was the fact that the physician in
charge of. the sanitarium had enter
tanned great hopes of her eventual
recovery. She had been improving
for some weeks prior to her escape.
1t was about midnight when Mr..
Pelham, soundly asleep, was aroused
from his slumbers by a quick nudge
from his wife Her voice was trem-
ulous and agitated as she whispered
breathlessly:

some one is up there! Now, Earle,
do you not hear?"
You're right, Rachel. assented
Mr.. Pelham, after a moment of in
tense listening.
There was no doubling the fact
that the floor overhead creaked as
