KIDS KEEP STILL"
SHOULD MEAN QU1ETNEss

During some of the musical
numbers at the home talent play
Wednesday night the noise made
by some Of the youngsters was
something terrible. Our blood
boiled to take a few by the neck.
By the following morning it
had ceased to- boil, and we de-
cided to let our many thoughts
go imprinted but the next MORN
ing there were six requests by
ten O'Clock, to have an article

prowement could not be made.
1t is we'll enough for parents
to- let THEN, children run the
movies, but when it comes to
shows and concerts at the hall
those who are paying would. like
to hear what is going on. The
children do not pay half as much
as adults (some even walk in
without a ticket) are given
front seats and are shown other
considerations and it is time
they were taught to behave like
little ladies and gentlemen while
out in public instead of like a
band of Indians
Some children have been well
reared and know better while
others have had no home train
ing whatever and when they
all get together we have a COM
bmation like that at the WED
nesday night show. If something
IL not done to keep peace, if
not quietness, it is going to
keep many from going to the
hall.
If the parents cannot make
their children behave It will be
up to some one else to take q

The Columbus massacre has
been avenged. The soldiers Of the
United States have established
their deadliness before all Mex

dispersed ana it's remnants have
been driven to hiding. The first
blow of the United States in

The clash at the San Geronimo
ranch, while not conclusive, is
Of crucial Importance to the fu-
ture peace Of Mexico and the
United States. It has demon
strated to the bandit element
that the United States can strike
