AN OLD PIONEER
CALLED HOME

Greeley Township Farm I'm

Seth Hartzell, one of the pioneers
of Audubon county, whose death was
mentioned in last weeks Republican,
was buried at Extra last Friday after
noon, the remains having been shipp-
/ ed there from California. A large
number of the members of the Mas
onic fraternity and number of old
soldiers were present at the last sad
rites.
Mr.. Hartzell came to Audubon
county in 1875 and located on his
farm in Greeley township which he
continued to own until little over a
year ago when it was sold to his son
Worth Hartzell. For the last twelve
or fourteen years he had been bother
ed with asthma and made frequent
visits to California. He contracted a
bad cold about a week before his
death which together with his asthma
was too much for his constitution and
after only a three days illness passed
away on Sunday evening November
26th at the home of his son S. l..
Hartzell at Ell Centre, California. His
son accompanied the remains back to
the old home, arriving in Extra on
Thursday.
Seth Hartzell was born in Deer
field, Ohio, July %, 1884 and died
lin California November 26, 1916.
His death was due to asthma, from
which he had been long sufferer.
In 1858 he came west and located in
Cedar county, where he enlisted in
leo. C. End la. Cav, and served his
country three years and four months.

disease that did not permit him to
continue in the service longer. SO
after being honorably discharged he
spent several years in the south in the
hopes of regaining his health, finally
he located near Sedalia, Mo. In
March of 1870 he was married to
Julia A. Blair and soon afterward
moved to Grinnell, Iowa. From
Grinnell Mr.. Hartzell and his COM
panion moved to Audubon county
locating on the farm in 1875. Nine
children were born TO this union
Wayne died at the age of four years
ard Anna died at the age of fifteen
years. The seven children living are:
w. J. Hartzell, who lives near the old
home place; L. T. Hartzell, of Lang

Centre, Calf; Mrs Marguerite Bascon
of Monroe, Was; H. G. Hartzell, OF
Wadena, Sask.. Canada; Miss Vernda
Hartzell, of Bellingham, Wash and d.
d. Hartzell, of Wadena, Sask., Canada
Only three of the sons were able to
attend the funeral, the other child
rem being unable to come, some on
account of sickness and others on &C
count of the distance. Mrs. Hartzell
died in 1890.
. The deceased was well known to
the older residents of the county. He
was prominent in local affairs and did
much for the upbuilding of the COM
munity in which he lived. He was a
member of the Christian church and
had been for 35 years. Funeral ser
vices were held at the Christian
church on Friday afternoon, conduct.
ed by the pastor, Rev. Linklinger. He
was a member of the Masonic order OF
Extra and that order had charge ofthe
service at the grave. The large mum
Der of friends who attended the funer

their last resting place is the bes
evidence of the high esteem in which
; he was held.

PAVLOWA TO MAKE FILM
IN ..DUMB GIRL
OF PORTICI''

When Billie Burke signed her con-
tract to appear in motion pictures,
she was engaged and paid a definite
sum per week while the pictures were
being made; Mary Pickford draws
down the princely sum of $1,000, per
week; Blance Ring was paid certain
amount for one picture; Anna Held
will receive $4,000 for number Of
pictures; Geraldine Farrar, according
to her press agent, received $2 per
minute for her appearance in car
men,, but when Anna Pavlowa signed
contract with the Universal Film
Manufacturing Company, it was lit
! tie realized that she was paid not only
the highest price ever paid a person
to appear in motion pictures before,
but established a record that would
stand for long time to come.
When Anna Pavlowa was signed
by the Universal for "The Dumb
Girl of Portici," which comes to the
Crescent Theatre Dec. 12th,she de-
manded, and received $4,000 in cash
paid her before the completion of the
picture, and also retained half in
terest in the picture. Now that all
other concerns have press-agented
the fact that their stars were draw
| ing fabulous prices, the Universal
comes out with real facts and figures
so plain that even a grammar school
child can figure it out for himself.
Pavlowa would not allow the
Publicity Department to hint even,
that she was receiving so much per
day, hour or minute, as that had be-
come the popular pastime of press
agents with little else to do But
when it was pointed out to her that
the price she received second would
show the immense value of her SER
vice, she consented.
There is probably not another staI
in the world who is as alert for money
making possibilities as the grea'
Pavlowa. She has a manager who
attends to all minor details of hel
business, but when it is question OF
dollars and cents, she attends to thai
herself. With the $4,000 which
she received from the Universal she
purchased a half interest in the Bost-
on Opera Company.
She was working in the daytime
for the Universal and rehearsing hel
ballets and playing at the Midway
Garden at night. 1t was very busy
time for Pavlowa and she was very
exact and punctual. If certain time
was set for her to be at Sans Souc
park to work for three hours, she
would be on dot. She had her owr
timekeeper, who kept tract Of every
minute and second she worked for the
Universal. 1t was his duty to find
out at just what time she was wanted
and at just what time she could leave
Her time was Measured by seconds
and here we have the original watch
the property of Anna Pavlowa, which
licked off the seconds when every
tick ment Sill to Pavlowa.

NAVAL BILL UP.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Drafting of the 1917 naval appropriation bill with which the administration will launch its five year increase program was under taken today by the appro' priation subcommittee of the naval committee.
 Various legislative provisions in the bill were discussed and a tentative agreement was reached on few items. The committee decided. how eyre. that no statement of it's ac- tions should be made public until its report had been completed.
 The most important question con sidered today related to the duties of the chief of operations. While final de- cisiOn was not reached, the committee men were inclined to write into the law most of the powers now conferred on departmental plan. Secretary Dan iels has approved the suggestion that the rank and pay of full admiral he provided during the tenure of office for any official detailed as chief of operations. The law would provide that the officer rank next to Admiral Dewey. the admiral of the navy being senior to the three fleet admirals. The committee is said to have agreed upon this plan.

CONDITIONS IMPROVED.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Such a marked improvement in conditions along the Mexican border has been reported by General Funston that the War Department is now considering drawing upon some of the troops stationed in Texas to strengthen the ever-lengthening lines of communica- ton of the expedition pursuing Villa. Many alarming rumors have been dis posed of and the border situation gen. erally is said to be quieter than here tofore, but the plan is not to distrub the garrisons or patrols in New Mex leo or Arizona for the present

Soon after it became known that additional troops were to be sent across the border the War Depart ment announced the purchase of six large tank motor trucks to replace similar ones carrying gasoline for Gen. Pershing's supply motors and aeroplanes.

GUARD|NCREASEO AT COLUMBUS MILITARY
 BASE
More Soldiers Are On Duty at New Mexico Border Point Than at Any Time Since the Night of Villas Raid.
(Bv Review Leased wi.e1

COLUMBUS, N M., April 1O-More soldiers are on guard duty in Colum- bus tonight than on any night since the town was raided by Villa bandits a month ago. Heavily armed soldiers patrol the streets and the military res ervation, while one company of infan- try has been ordered to sleep in their clothing and with their arms at their sides and instructions have been is sued to keep the gun racks unlocked
 The guards at the road crossing the line and at the border gate, three miles south, and at Gibson's Ranch 15 miles west, the point al which the sup ply trains cross the international line. were increased tonight.
 No official explanation was made of the unusual activity on the part of the military, but information from a source of undoubted reliability indicated that the troops at the eXpeditionary base have received orders based on the pos sibility of an attack by roaming bands to any Mexican faction uD- on the American line of communica- ton between Columbus and Casas Grandes
 Numerous rumors, none of which could be confirmed. were current in the streets of Columbus tonight Many of these undoubtedly had their basis on the fact that Carranzista forces the of which is variously estimat- ed at from 5000 to 5000. are stationed in strategic positions along the motor truck trail taken by American supply trains. These troops, under the con- mand of General P Elias Gales, mill tery governor of Sonora. are engaged in guarding the Oaxaca-Carrets pass on the Sierra Madres to prevent the possibility of Villas escape by doub- ling on his trail.
 The CarranZa troops have been mov- ed eastward from Sonora in the last few days after being concentrated at Fronteras, on the railroad line from Douglas to Nacozari an dat Morelos, about twenty miles east of Fronteras
 Military authorities endeavored to quiet fears expressed and pointed out that steps are being taken merely be- cause of the large amount of valuable property concentrated here It was asserted further that attempts are being made to prevent thefts by and irresponsible Americans or MeXicans.

SUGAR MEASURE.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The sen ate made rapid progress on the SUI gar measure. which is a substitute for the House resolution repeating the free sugar provision of the present tariff jaw, and was able to pass it when Senator Works of alifornia an ounced that he wished to offer an amendment which would not be ready until tomorrow. Under an agreement reached Friday a final vote will be taken before adjournment tomorrow.
 Senator Lodge in offering his dye stuffs duty amendment declared he would submit it to vote without argument. Senator Simmons on learn that the duty proposed was similar to those in the Hill Bill pending in the House. declared they would approx innate 75 per cent. and urged that the amendment be defeated. Senator Un- derwood, author of the present tariff law, explained that the 30 per cent duty now imposed on dye stuffs had existed since enactment of the Ding ley by acquiescence of the dye manu- lecturers, textile manufacturers, chief purchasers of dyes. he said, had urg- ed that the duty be lowered instead of increased.
 Senator Shoot and Senator Bran degee urged the passage of the bill, the former asserting that the labor cost of German manufactured dyes was not more than one-fourth the cost in the United States. The Germans also he said, had advanced many pro- cesses by which they could make dyes at less cost.
