STRONG FOR ATHLETICS

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Feb. 9.-The
patriotic celebration which always
marks Washington's birthday at the
New Mexico State University, will
take a unique form this 22nd of Feb
ruary. II will be an open air athletic
fete in which the entire University
student body, men and women alike,
will participate. II Is an event which
could only be attempted in New Mex
leo, for IL Is doubtful if weather con-
ditions anywhere else in the United
States would permit of its duplica-
ton in any other state university.
Physical education is compulsory at
the state university. 1t is the theory
of Ralph f. Hutchinson, director Of
physical education, that the only foun-
dation FOR winning athletic teams, is
a soundly and broadly developed stu
dent body. Every student is exam
ined on entrance and the weak points
in physique noted. Thereafter train
ing is especially adopted to correct
those weak points and TO give the
student a well rounded constitution,
to the end of "a sound mind in a
sound body"
The effort Of Director Hutchinson
is to make this training as interesting
to the student as it is necessary, and
to that end his gymnasium exercises,
drills, etc, are marvels of intricate
maneuver and stop and turn, all de-
signed TO keep the students mind
working right along with his legs,
arms and diaphram. The best Of the
drills will be shown in the Washing
tons Birthday fete. There will be
special drills by classes of women and
classes Of men, and drills by men and
women together. A special program
of contests for various classes will
round out a program that promises
unusual interest.

CANNOT GERMANIZE THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE

Washington, Feb. S.-Lieutenant
General Miles, retired, denounced the
continental army before the house
military committee.
at would be q very dangerous step
toward Capitalization, that would vest
a tremendous power in some future
president" he said. ut is un-Amer-
lean. Why try to Germanize the Amer
lean peop.e? You cannot Germanize
citizens"
General Miles praised the national
guard, declared compulsory military
service unnecessary, favored three
year enlistments, recommended a reg
ular standing army of 100000 TO l50,-
600 men and submitted an army re-
organization plan of his own, contem-
plating recruiting a force Of l,20O, 900
men by expanding the units of organ
ization. He said the national guard
should be organized the same way.
He said IL would easily be possible to
raise 100000 men, If necessary, In
a reasonably short time.
General Miles said the United States
was daily manufacturing more war
materials than any two nations on
earth are using in the same time and
that the experience in the Dardanelles
shows that guns aboard ship are no
match for fortificatie and submar-
ines. "0ver seas expeditions always
have been very expensive and as a
rule, disastrous. To cross the Atlantic
or Pacific oceans to land in the U. S.
would be very serious undertaking.
An enemy, he said, might be able to
put 100000 men on its ships, but it
would never be able to land that num-
ber on the United States shores.

THE VAGABOND"

On next Sunday night Tucumcari is
to be treated to the first big American
feature film that was ever hand color
ed, entitled "The Beloved Vagabond."
This feature was sent in relays to the
Pathe factory in France and that deli
cate hand-coloring sometimes seen on
single reels runs all the way through
this wonderful photoplay,
Tho coloring, however, is only an
extra touch Of art, and the play itself,
by William j. Locke, Is the sweetest
and most beautiful drama ever put
into pictures and is particularly ap-
pealing to children and grown-ups
alike.
In New York there is a publication
issued called "Wid's." Wild Cunning
is considered the most critical critic
of feature films of the many who
make a business Of reporting these
screen plays. In his issue Of Decem-
ber o he epitomizes as follows on "The
Beloved Vagabond":

ORGANIZE BUSINESS
MEMS ASSOCIATION

The business men have organized
n Business Mems Association md al
ready a large number have joined 1t
as IL will be used for their protection
as well as used to boost everything
that will come up which looks good
for the town and community. A sub
organization in the way Of Chamber
of Commerce will also be perfected
later as soon as the organization gets
in working order.
Every property owner in the city
and county should belong TO some kind
of an organization to boost the pro-
gressive spirit. No town can go for
ward If a majority of the citizens pull
back instead of push. The merchants
cannot afford TO finance everything
Tucumcari needs. They are not get
ting rich selling their wares. Many
times the rich men of the cities are
more benefited by the establishing Of
new industries than the merchant, es-
pecially when competition is SO strong
as IL is in Tucumcari in some lines Of
business. Tucumcari is well adver-
tised in the east and highly spoken of
by most people who have visited our
little city and fully enjoyed the Won
derful climate and other conveniences.
Tucumcari needs more residences Of
n modern type. AS soon as one is va
Gated these days IL is filed the next
so we believe our city has by far more
citizens than ever before. The school
buildings are full TO overflowing and
some of the rooms have more scholars
than can be comfortably taken care Of
during the nice weather.
There are many contemplated i'm
prcyements during the coming sum-
mer months. New capital will be one
thing necessary to put everything to
going Alright. A good strong work
ing commercial organization is the
strongest asset any community can
boast of supporting. 1t is a pleasure
as well as necessity and therefore
Tucumcari should have il.

ton or instruction of any delegates in

RAILROAD BUSINESS GOOD

II is hard for the citizens of Tu-
cumcari and vicinity to realize the ex-
isting conditions every direction from
here on the railroads. Every passen-
ger train is from two to six hours late
with the possible exception of the Pol
ly from Dawson.
This morning every passenger en-
gine was in use but one and it was
necessary TO repair it before No. 7
could depart for FL Paso.
The train men say business was
never better and fruit trains from CAL
ifornia are beginning to move east
ward while train load after train load
of coke and coal is passing through
here on their way to destinations east
and west.

which is true of every member Of the

Milford registered some very appeal
ing moments in her close-ups, which
were more effective than her scenes
at a distance from the camera. There

Press Comment.
Criticism of Fruit Laws.

The fruit industry at best is not
very profitable and in many western
states is crippled by foolish restrictive
laws.
Growers say they f1nd 1t almost i'm
possible to make anything growing
apples and yet we advertise that as
one Of our pet industries.
Recently at Tremonton. Utah, a
cider manufacturer received a car
load of Gull apples and had to pick
out many on account Of wormhoies
lie offered to sell them at low prices
to poor people who were glad to come
and get them as they cannot afford to
buy the perfect apples.
The local fruit inspector stopped
the sale, holding the state law did
not allow sale of imperfect fruit to
the general public.
The Bear River Leader SAYS this is
a foolish gag law and should be re-
pealed, and that such drastic laws
have nearly killed the fruit industry.
Growers should be allowed to sell
their apples without spending as
much as the crop is worth to make
the package attractive To milonaires.
In Oregon a similar fool law pre-
vents manufacturing jellies from the
wastage and windfalls Of the orchards,
and jellies are bought in the east.
There the apple growers have not
so many fool laws invented 10y soft
headed college graduates who never
work for living at any industry.
