Tulane Airdome.-The film version
Of "The Cowboy and the Lady," Clyde
Fitch's romance, will be presented at
the Tulane Airdone Sunday night.
The story has to DO with Ted MOI tn,
a young easterner who falls desper'
ately in love with Margaret Primrose,
daughter of the man his father had
ruined. Primrose held his enmity
against young North and refuses to
permit his daughter to see him, and
forces his daughter into marriage with
4 young millionaire. North goes west
and later his former sweetheart and
her husband 60 west. There the
threads of the lives of the 3 cross
again. The story is told by the film
in gripping fashion.

mails for use either as pack animals
or in hauling artillery.
The sudden turn by the warning ma
tions in favor of mules has resulted
in a~total slack Of business along that
line in the valley, horse dealers as
sert. The reason, they claim, lies in
the fact that the buyers have been
instructed TO procure the mules at
the nrices prevailing for horses.
This, they assert, is practically i'm
possible because mules command 9
higher price than do horses,
Another fact upon which some OF
the dealers have based COMPLAINT is
the low prices for stock upon which
some of the contracts are based. They
assert that the prices at which the
stock rnuet he bo,~ht is in itself low
enough, but in addition some of the
eastern stock concerns call for deliv-
cry at the same price at which the
stock is bought in the valley, This
implies considerable loss to the local
dealer as it is estimated that the cos

HORSES ARE
BEING SHIPPED OUT

With the cessation of the first traf-
fic in horses for warning European
nations, heavy shipments from the val
ley appear to have diminished. 1t is
estimated that not more than several
carloads of horses have been shipped
from the valley by the numerous horse
buyers who have been here.
Rig:dity of inspection and low
prices, horse dealers claim, are the
factors which are preventing a heavy
sale of valley horses for use in the
war.
The buyers who have been here for
the large part, have been contract buy
ers who operated for large eastern
stock concerns, These buyers have
been fastidious in their selection of
animals, and the horses which failed
to meet the requirements set down by
the buyers were rejected.
Slight blemishea constituted suf-
ficient cause for rejection, but in ad-
dition the animal had TO conform to
ether specifications as to weight, build
and age,
The demand during the time the
buyers were here seemed to predom-
dominate in favor of heavy draft ami
