EDUCATION PAYS

A man, forty-eight years old, in
telling of his past life, said he was
glad he never went to school after he
was old enough to work and make
money. His father was anxious for
him to secure good education, but
rather than take advantage of this
opportunity he began working in a
blacksmith shop as an apprentice 80
years ago, and has worked at his
trade ever since.
He said his brother was lazy and
not fond Of any kind of labor, but he
went to school and became teacher.
He afterwards married into veal
thy family and today has property
and chattels valued at something near
S25, 900.
In speaking of his brother he claim
ed he had wasted his life and that
education was failure. The course
he had pursued was right although
today he did not have enough money
with which to purchase small shop
and outfit valued at $500, but was
begging another man to buy it SO
he could work for him.
We leave il to our readers TO say
who wasted their opportunities. Most
of US know of persons who have fair
ly good cducations. but think they
know it all, and are not capable of
making use of that which they have.
These persons are injured by little
learning. They have not gone far
enough, but they only represent
small portion of those who secure col
lege educations. There are thousands
Of people drawing salaries ranging
from 100000 up, and ninety per cent
Of them are those who have college
educations. Therefore, what argu-
ment could be produced which would
convince you that il is better to work
from morning till night, every day
and live from "hand to mouth" than
it would be to do lighter work, and
drawing good pay for knowing some
thing worth while.
OF course this excludes editors
they are born, not made. A person
does not have to be educated to tell
other people how they should do and
live, street loafer can do as much.
but a little education would be of
some benefit TO them providing their
skulls are not made of solid ivory.

MUST TAKE OUT A LICENSE
No Possible Loophole for Nimrod Who
Stays Fcrocious Cottontail With
out Necessary License

Hereafter il will be absolutely ne
cessary for those who hunt rabbits, as
well as those who hunt animals on
which bounties are paid, to take out
hunting licenses to save themselves
from prosecution under the game and
fish law of the state.
The necessity is created by House
Bill No. 202, one of the last Of the
measures signed by Governor McDon-
aid, which amends many of the Sec
tions of the old law, among them Sec.
IL, which provides that mo person
shall at any time shoot, hunt or take
in any manner any game which is
by law protected in this state without
first having in his possession hunt
ing license" The new law makes this
section read as follows
Section IL. No person shall ut any
thNe shoot, hunt or take in any man
ner any wild animals or birds or game
fish as herein defined in this state
without first having in his or her pos
session hunting license as hereinaf-
ter provided for the year in which
such shooting, fishing or hunting Is
done. The presence of any person in
any open field, prairie or forest, wheth
er enclosed or not. with traps. gun,
or other weapon for hunting, without
having in possession a proper hunt
ing license as herein provided, shall
be prima facie evidence of the viola
tion of this section"
The provision of the new law is
sweeping, and leaves no possible loop
hole through which any person who
hunts any class Of animals can escape.
All must hereafter pay u license fee
to the state.

MAY SHIP HAY

I'll Paso, Mar.22-Hay from Arizona
and New Mexico will be admitted
into Texas by the state sanitary in
spectors. providing it has been prop
erly fumigated in accordance with the
regulations of the United States bu-
reau of animal industry.
This good news for the hay grow
ers of the southwest was received by
James Graham McNary, first vice
president of the First National Bank,
from j, II. Avery. chairman of the
Texas livestock sanitary board.
When Mr.. Avery was in I'll Paso
to attend the Panhandle and South
western Stockmen's convention, he
held hearing for the committee of
hay growers from Arizona and New
Mexico to get the growers side of
the quarantine on hay which was in
cluded in the iron-bound quarantine
against cattle, hay hides and every
thing else which might spread the
foot and mouth disease in Texas.
AT the meeting, which was held in
our directors room, Mr.. Avery told
the hay growers committee that, un-
der no circumstances would hay be
admitted into Texas as long as the
quarantine was on" said MIR. McNary
Thursday. "ln letter which he has
written to me, he announces for the
first time that the sanitary board will
permit alfalfa or other kinds of hay
TO be shipped into Texas, provided
the billing accompanying the ship
ment shows that the hay has been
properly disinfected or fumigated ac-
cording to the United States bureau
Of animal industry regulations and
the formulas, under the supervision
Of a state or federal Inspector"
In his letter, Mr.. Avery says: "Of
course we realize that it is not prac-
ticable to disinfect hay except by
fumigation, but this can easily be
done with formaldehyde as prescribed
by the government regulations. Cars
must also he clean and dsinfected be-
fore the hay is loaded to shipped"

"a STRENUOUS LIFE"

The High School Athletic Associa.
ton will present the merry college
farce, "A Strenuous Life" at the Op.
era House on Friday evening, April
second. II is necessary for the asso.
citation to raise two hundred dollars
TO pay the expenses Of Tucumcari's
High School track team TO the State
meet to be held at albuquerque on
April 1924. In order 10 obtain the
money, the members Of the Associa-
tion have been working since the hol-
idays and offer the result Of their
labors, "A Strenuous Life" without
apology.
As school play, this college farce
stands out preeminent; easily the peer
of any play in its particular field of
dramatic production. When Richard
Walton Tully wrote "A Strenuous
Life" he admitted that he had reach
ed the zenith of his career as an au-
thor, and pronounced the play the
best he had ever written.
To be able to witness the produc-
tion of such an authors masterpiece
is privilege accorded few outside the
larger cities. Will you take advan-
tage of your opportunity and see this
the best home talent production ever
staged in your city? This is the
same play which the Seniors of the
Albuquerque High School are prepar-
ing for production, and the Albu-
querque papers brand the coming play
as the crowning feature of the work
of the class.
The action Of the play is brisk and
humorous throughout, and with the
humor there is interviewer an under
current Of emotion which combined
with n plot, Of more than ordinary
depth. makes this play a sure sue
cess.
The admission TO the play includ-
ing reserved seats is fifty cents for
adults. and thirty five cents for chill
dren. These are the very lowest
prices the association is able to make.
The expense of producing the play,
including costumes, royalties, and rent
is more than fifty dollars.
II you believe in good wholesome
athletics give this play your support.
Watch next weeks papers for detail
ed announcements.

THE MAN WHO CAME BACK

Byspecial arrangement and through
the courtesy of local Modern Wood
men, the Opera House Movies has
booked IA reel of l.040 feet, featuring
Robert Wilson of Missouri, in a true
and realistic film story of his part in
the present war--not Of bloodshed-
but in the fight against and conquest
of that menacing monster of the hu-
man flesh-tuberculosis. Wilson is
one Of the million members of the
Modern Woodmen of America. Dis
covering that he is afflicted with this
disease, he takes advantage Of the
comforts, care and cure Of the Sana-
torium owned, maintained and oper-
ated by that Society, free of charge
to its members. For several years
that fraternal institution has thus
actively and effectively co-operated
in the worldwide movement advocat-
cd by the Red Cross and medical au-
thorities, TO stamp out the dreaded
white plague" and Wilson is the ben
efciary of this Woodmen life-saving
station. This film will be shown to-
night at the opera house and every
body is invited to see it free.

vANsICKLE GETS NEW HEARING
Supreme Court Orders New Trial in
the Anderson Murder Case.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, March 23.--The
supreme court today handed down the
following opinion:
State Of New Mexico. appellee, VS..
Caria Vansickel, appellant No. 1929
Quay county.
Appellant was indicted by a grand
jury Of the county of Quay. state Of
New Mexico, charged with the mur-
der Of one Dudley Anderson. A trial
resulted in a verdict of guilty Of muir
der in the first degree, and Vansickel
was sentenced to be hanged in June
Of 1914. From this verdict and judg-
ment of the district court, Vansickel,
through his attorney, Judge Swan, per
fected an appeal to the higher court
for reversal.
Mr.. Swan, with odds against him,
on account of the general knowledge
Of the case and the fact that Van
sickel had heart Of stone and set
unmoved throughout the whole trial
and the man who was killed being an
officer of the law, worked hard and
handled the case in his usually force
ful manner and while he was beaten
in the lower courts, he succeeded in
getting the case reversed for new
trial.
To warrant the killing of another
in self-defense the danger and ne
cessity must have been real,or so man
ifestly apparent as to create reas-
enable belief Of present peril TO life
or limb.
Opinion by Chief Justice Roberts,
Justice Hanna and Justice Parker
concurring.

RIGID QUARANTINE

The Santa Fe railroad stopped a
car load Of horses one day last week
at the crossing at French. The vet
erinary went up from this city and
examined the condition Of the animals
before allowing them to proceed. II
is said that the Santa Fe is enforc-
ing the state law. While this works
a hardship on the shippers il is best
in the long run and will perhaps save
thousands of dollars in the future.

US. -PROTECTORATE
 FOR HAITI UNDER
 TREATY OPERATING

Washington. Nov. 30-The new Haytian treaty, by which the United States extends a broad financial pro tectorate over the island Republic, now is operating under a modus vi vendi which has been signed by, the American minister and the Haytian secretary of foreign affairs. This temporary arrangement will continue until the United States Senate has, an opportunity to consider the treaty, which already has been ratified by the Haytian government.
 The treaty goes further in giving the United States control oyer Hayti's finances than does the convention un- der which the United States collects and superyises the customs receipts in the Dominican republic. Under the latter arrangement the United States retains 8 portion of the receipts for payment of foreign creditors and the balance is turned over to the Donaini- cans. Under the Haytian agreement, however, the agents of the United States are to retain a measure of control, not only over the moneys to be applied to Hayti's foreign creditors (but- also over the funds to be used in the running of their government.
