Battleship Masts,

There is most excellent reason for
the peculiar construction of open work
masts in the United States battleships.
The reason is found in the fact Of their
superior efficiency. They can be shot
away to the tune of about three-fourths
of their original material and still hold,
whereas the solid mast IS liable to be
completely shot away, and that In short

KNOWLEDGE,

Virtue is an angel, but she is a
blind one and must ask Of Knowl-
edge to show her the pathway that
leads to her goal. Mere knowl-
edge, on the other hand, is ready
to combat either in the ranks of sin
or under the banners Of righteous
ness, to navigate a corsair vessel
or a missionary ship. - Horace

TILE COWBOYS, ROUNDUP

Some of the best bronco riders in
the world will enter the contests in
the First Annual Cowboys Roundup
to be held in Tucumcari, October 3, 4
5. The executive committee has ar
ranged an additional event, to be
known as Ladies Bronc Riding con-
test, with purse of $4,000.
Prairie Lille Allen has wired that
she will come and enter this contest.
She recently won the worlds cham
pionship title for lady bronze riders in
New York City in the Stampede, and
Sept. 7, of this year, won the South
western championship at Garden
City, Kansas. Her husband, Slim
Allen, also, will be here. He is fam
GUS as bronc rider, fancy roper, and
steer bull-dogger.
Thad Pippen, who broke the
worlds record five seconds in the re-
lay race at Las Vegas, will enter the
relay race in Tucumcari. His time
at Las Vegas was two miles in four
minutes, five seconds. A contract has
been closed with "Bugger-Red" to
bulldog steers each day from the
hood of an automobile. Bugger-Red
is we'll known all over Cowboy Land
as an expert rider, roper and bull
dogger. Texas Jack, another famous
bronc buster, has sent word that he
will be here.
The Amarillo Concert Band has
been engaged to furnish the music
during the Roundup and those who
are in position to have knowledge,
state that these musicians are GER
tainly there with all of the latest
popular music, love stuff, and rag
time, and also know how to handle
classical music. They will play a
concert on the streets in the morn
ing, and play all afternoon on the
grounds during the contests. The
portable band stand will be moved
to the center of the city and concert
will be played at Second and Main
each evening at eight o'clock.
Arrangements are being made for
a boxing contest to be held in the
opera house the evening Of October
4th. Efforts are being made to
match Tommy Livingston Of 81 Paso,
with Frank Gonzales of Denver in a
ten-round exhibition, and If these
men are not secured some other good
men will be obtained.
A first-class carnival has also been
booked, so there will be something
doing all the time in Tucumcari at
the Roundup, October 8, A, s.

LONDON, Sept. 26.-COm-
bles, key-point of the whole
German battle line from
Bapaume to Perrone, has
been captured by the British
after 10 hours of most fur
iOus battling north of the
SOmme.
General Haig this afternoon
announced that British troops en-
tered Combles, overcoming Ger
man resistance. The enemy's
losses, the official report said,
were severe.
Fighting was still going on in
some places in the streets of
Combles when Gen. Haig's report
was filed.
The British victory, achieved
after three weeks of desperate
driving against the German CEN
ter, is the most striking single
achievement of the whole Somme
offensive.
1t removes one of the last two
obstacles to an Anglo-French
thrust to squeeze the Germans,
out of Peronne, one of the two
detectives of the great allied ad-
vance.

Fire Chief Carlson was not en-
titled to his present salary of
$50 a month next year, when
other officials were getting a
maximum of $3.50.
Carlson was present at the bud
get session, however, and no ac-
ton was taken. An hour later the
fire chief went out of the room
to telephone. Without batting
an eye, the council Topped $40
from his salary, and had resumed
other work before he returned.
Carlson didn't know his salary
had been cut until he read it in
the papers.

tune to fall into the tolls of The

allied successes, including the cap
ture of the villages of Morval and
Les Bouefs by the British, and
Rancourt and Fregicourt by the
French.
In summing up the days sue
cussful operations, Gen. Haig re-
ported 1900 Germans were cap
tured by the British and that more
prisoners are being brought in.
The work of listing large supplies
of war materials also captured has

from which to swing attacks,
north and south at the allies
lines.

In the last month of fighting,
the British and French lines
pressed steadily forward on both
sides until the town was in deep

The British not only gained
this important victory, but press
ed forward In their drive toward
Bapaume last night and early to-
day. A strong redoubt between
Les Bouefs and Guerdecourt fell
before British attack.
The French also swept forward
again last night, carrying Fregi-

1t is believed here that the Ger
mans withdrew many of their
heavy guns from Combles before
yesterdays allied attack, realiz-
ing the hopelessness of their posi-

The great attack yesterday ear

ders, Warren X. Billings today
began his publicity campaign by
issuing a signed. statement deny
ing emphatically that he has con-
fessed the crime or has offered
to confess.
Billings also completed the
document which he proposes to
read to Superior Judge Dunno to-
day as a reason why sentence
should not be pronounced.
Scores of intimidating letters
threatening prosecuting witnesses
with death were read during the
course of Billings trial, the po-
lice admitted today.
The letters were turned over to
postal authorities and inspectors
are attempting to trace them.
Most of the letters were ad-

Jail. Someone may object" The
council left the question mark"
after the item.
The council is losing no oppor-
tunity to blame the budget de-
crease on County Assessor James
Cameron.
When the question of cutting
down the police department arose,
Commissioner Atkins made a lit
tie speech.
Gentlemen, the people have
indicated that they want us to
cut down expenses" he said.
Cameron chopped down the
tax valuation to such an extent
that we have to cut expenses
$227,000. And the people show
ed their approval of Cameron's
act by giving him one of the
heaviest votes of any candidate at
the primaries. So the public can't
consistently kick IL we cut down
the efficiency of the various de-
partments.
but believe me. they will be
mighty sick of this state of affairs
before six months have passed."
The budget primers came pretty
close to eliminating the office of

nurse.
