nm HE following from Polly Peach
tree" in the Hearst (Atlanta)
x American will be read with great
interest by Miss Alexa Strings many
friends and admirers in this city. She
will be pleasantly remembered having
spent few days in the city last year at
tending the golf tournament and is now
quite nationally famous"
"Alexa Stirling, whose love for golf
has always kept her from social affairs
and late hours, will have a hard time
now in living up to her self-imposed
avoidance of late hours, dancing and
frivolity in general. When she comes
home, accompanied by her national
championship honors, a big delegation
of golfers and a brass band will meet
her at the train, and, if 1 mistake not,
will give to this young golf champion the
very kind of reception she would like.
But when she finds that a brilliant
dinner dance is to be given at the East
Lake club in her honor 1 am not so sure
as to Alexa's preference. l remember
how she never liked to go to dancing
school, and, while she dances well, Alexa
is not anything like as fond of dancing
as her little sister Nora, who is fancy
dancer par excellence.
Anyway, fame will bring to Miss Alexa
Stirling, woman golf champion of Amer
lea, the same temptations that fame
brings to all crowned with laurel wreaths
-adulation and admiration and numerous
calls upon ones time and strength,
which, if yielded to, will soon take
away the power which brought the fame.
But L trust Alexa Stirling, knowing
her as L do, not to dance away the
strength heretofore devoted to welding
her golf sticks. And 1 predict that all
the alteration of all the young men III
town will not turn the steady young
head, full of Scotch soberness and spe-
cial personal gift of poise.
And then. Alexa has other worthwhile
interests besides her golf quite enough
to keep her busy without the frivoli-
ties of a society belle. Her violin, for
instance, and her domestic science.
Apropos of the last I heard young
man laughingly recall the devotion of the
golf champion to her home duties, as

regard to our chairmen on the various
committees of the Drama league this
season." Mrs. Smith said. MRS w. s.
Lowell, chairman of the amateur COM
mittee, has some splendid plans. One
of the chief activities of the Drama
league is the fostering and encourage
ing of amateur productions. Mrs Lowell
will read and suggest plays. Another
feature that I should especially like
to stress is the educational side of our
work. If the Drama league is to be
q permanent institution it should be
built upon this foundation of steady
work. The national board has recon-
mended that centers make this Ameri-
can drama year in thir study courses.
The playgoing committee of New York
city regards it as a happy omen that
the three first plays to be bulletined in
American Drama Year are the work
of American dramatists. Miss Berry
man is the educational chairman of
our center and her plans are now be-
ing formulated. Mrs. Philip Oster re-
ports steady incoming of renewals OF
membership. AS membership chairman
she expects the league to increase to
1000 members, should each present
member constitute herself member of
this committee and bring one new
member, we would more than do 1t.
st. Louis more than doubled its mem
bership this way. DR.. George Stubs.
chairman of the playgoers' committee,
will send out notices of the bulletined
plays at the local theatres in ample
time for members to read the play be-
fore it's performance. The success OF
the National Bulletin Magazine, pub
lished for the first time last April, had
led the board to use this form of COM
munication for the members. Each
member after the September issue will
receive copy direct from national
headquarters"

WHITE WITHDRAWS
FROM SHERIFF RACE

The voters Of Tucumcari were
what surprised last week when it was
made known that Fred White, one Of
the leading candidates for sheriff, so
far as Tucumcari was concerned, had
withdrawn from the race. When ask
ed why he should do such a thing his
reply was about as follows:
II have been so busy attending 10
the duties of my Office that ! have not
had time to properly canvass the coun
ty and my financial condition is not
such that / could hire any work done,
70 / thought in justice 10 myself and
family 1t was best for me TO withdraw
and I did. After withdrawing from
the ace ] vas accosted by many Of
my friends and would-be friends who
said they were sorry TO have me pull
out because they were sure that / was
the man who would have won the nom
nation. I appreciate the stand taken
by my friends and TO those who put
up a false front and played friendly
when / know how they stand, / de-
sire 10 say that I feel sorry for them
and hope they will become men some
day and therefore make better citi-
Gems. Stand for the maj you think
is best and don't promise every man
that comes along, your support.
81 wish 70 deny the false reports
ns&s In regard TO my withdrawal.

mo man or set Of men paid me one
cent 10 get out Of the race. Some
falsifer has said that the Bell ranch,
which is located in San Miguel coun-
ty, paid me a large sum to get out.
This is intended to injure me and /
wish to say there is not n word Of
truth in the statement.
mo candidate for sheriff has offered
me a d~eputyship or any other consid-
GRAFTON to withdraw. My withdrawal
has strengthened no special candidate
and therefore no candidate could af-
ford TO pay me to get out of the way.
! hope that my friends will vote for
the man whom they think will make
good as sheriff, one who will see that
the law Is enforced as nearly as pos
sible, n who is not under any obli-
cations to any man or set Of men. !
leave that question for you TO settle.

I'm proud TO know that | have many
friends in Quay county who would
have worked hard to secure my nomi-
nation. I felt that | deserved it and
was the right nan for the place, but

best man."
