The VIM. a. Brady Photoplays Inc.

edy What Happened to Jones" based
on George Broadhurst farce of that
name which was successfully produced
by Broadhurst and Currie several
years ago. This is the second big
comedy released by the World Film:
the first was Law Field in sold
Dutch an enormous success; there is
every reason to suppose that what
Happened to Jones" will 20 just as
well.
IL is splendid story for Fred Mace
to direct and act in. The author Mr..
Broadhurst would appear. when you
study the scenario, TO have had screen
presentation in view when construct
ing his plot and typifying his charac-
tiers. Mace is an experienced Biograph
Key stone comedian who has been
Identified with many screen successes
and knows just exactly what to do
and how to do il, when producing n

the one and only Jones, Ia acase in
point. He meets pretty girl who is
helress and still goes to school and
falls in love with her. Then he goes
to prize fight, gets badly mauled
by the police and has a struggle to
get free. Taking refuge in the girls
school, he interrupts pillow fight,
frightens a girl in bath is mistaken
for n bishop and finally as things are
too involved for him, elopes with his
girl and marries her.
OF course there are other characte
in this film play, professor, a Bishop,
school girls, elderly spinster and Others
but Jones is "the entire show" as the
vulgarism hath it.
Fred Mace in all his career has
never had such fine fat part and he

men.

STOLE $1,000 In CASH

Geo. Roklizer, who owns and OPP
crates shoe shop next door to the
News Office, hired Jose Pera, a Mex
lean, to assist him with his shoe re-
pairing and shining. The new man
had been doing his work satisfactory
and Mr.. Roklizer believed him to be
honest. He paid him Saturday night
and Monday morning Pera reported
for work before seven o'clock. Mr..
Roklizer went to breakfast and left
him in charge of the store, and when
he returned Pera had lock up and
skipped out with all the cash from the
money drawer amounting to $500
all in silver.
The police were notified at once but
Pera was not apprehended and is now
far away with his nice little haul. We
are sorry he was not captured and
made pay for his ungratefulness to
n friend who took him in when he was
hungry and flat broke. We don't
know who we are befriending these
days. This puts us in mind Of the
dog that bit the hand of the man who
fed it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The meeting of the Choral Society
tonight at the Episcopal church will
be n very important one. All who
have ever taken part in choir or solo
work, or who have any voice or other
kind of musical ability are urged to
attend the inaugural meeting and
practice tonight. The success of the
Choral Society Is already assured, for
1t has the hearty support Of the best
professional and amateur talent in the
city. But in order that Choral Society
may represent not only the artist,
ideals, but the public spirit and pro-
gressive instincts of the community
all who have the real good of the
town at heart should attend the ini-
tial meeting; for ii is unity of spirit
and not indifference that leads to real
achievement.

SOME SCRAP PULLED OFF

An unannounced, unadvertised and
unexpected fight was pulled off near
the Horse Shoe Restaurant Tuesday
morning in which one of the partici-
pants was badly bruised up. A num-
ber of witnesses testified that il all
happened in very short time and
few saw IL start.
We understand il was caused by
some dispute as to the ownership Of
a horse which w. II. EIittson bought
from Mr.. Cunningham of Las Vegas.
Everett Siler claims the horse belongs
to him and says he has been looking
for the animal for several months.
The animal was brought to Tucum-
carl a few days ago by JEFF Woodard
and Mr.. Siler from the ranch of Mr..
Hittson near Endee, who il is said
voluntarily agreed to having the dis
pute settled. Mr.. Cunningham was
notified and sent representative here
to look after the case.
We did not see the fight but Siler
is a sure enough white hope and from
what we hear he uses the right hand
upper-cut with terrific force. While
we are sorry TO hear of personal diff
ficulties II seems that sometimes that
is one of the best ways of making
friends out of enemies, so we hope
this circumstance will end that way
and the dispute over the horse will
end peaceably.

$4,000 IN TAX MONEY

1t is estimated that Quay county
will receive $4,000 more from taxes
this year than last, so we may rest
assured that our proportion will not
be as great as we figured il would be.
The new way of assessment makes
1t possible TO collect $4,000 with
which to run the county schools and
other affairs, Last year only about
$4,000 was collectable and Mr.. Pear
son, the collector, came near getting
it all. II the other counties of the
state would pay up as we'll as Quay
the state board would not have to
tack on such big assessment. Per-
haps that is the reason they let Quay
down as easy as they did

This accident Is a gentle reminder
of what will be done il the mayor ana
council do not pass and enforce more
rigid laws to control the running of
autoes on the main streets of the city.
There are few who use our streets
for race track and il the city allows

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Is
AMAZED At DEVELOPMENT

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Oct. 28-Presi-
dent David X. Boyd, of the New Mexi-
co State University, who has been fill
ing engagements at county teachers
meetings and other speaking engage
ments in Colfax, Mora and Union
counties for the past ten days, express
es amazement at the development Of
the farming interests in this section
during the past two years; n develop
ment which he asserts is only To be
compared with that which occurred in
Oklahoma during the days when he
was founding the University in that
state.
at all reminds me very much Of
the days in Oklahoma when the farm
ing boom was on" said President Boyd
'ln Northeastern New Mexico. today,

and over again. Men are selling n

chinery piled up around the stores and
warehouses, which had not sufficient
room under cover, and what was even
more significant, noticed that the
streets of these towns were crowded
with hitched teams and automobiles,
while the stores were full of people
trading"
when one stops TO consider, how
ever, there is nothing so very aston
ishing about this development. II
has come little sooner and faster
than we expected, but il was due TO
come. Conditions agriculturally, in
eastern Mora and Colfax counties, in
Union and Quay counties are much
the same, as those in Oklahoma, es-
pecially the western part Of the state.
The New Mexico section has little
less average rainfall, but to make up
for this its soils lend themselves more
readily to dry-farm cultivation and
moisture conservation, and are more
productive than those Of Oklahoma.
There is no use predicting n great fu-
ture for this section of New Mexico.
II is already here. II is clear that
farming in northeast New Mexico has
been reduced to u conservative, intel
ligent basis and that from this time
o.. even in the fact of unfavorable
seasons, the acrccge used will steadily
increase while production will grow
more satisfactory as the farmers be-
come better acquainted with condi-
tions and opportunities. look to this
region rs one Of the most productive

cational institutions of the state. The
farmers of the whole northeast sec

and understand fully the value and ne.
