WHOLE TOWN TOOK PART
IN BIG PHOTODRAMA
Rio Vista, Calf, Advertises Itself in
"a Man of Sorrow"

The whole town of Rio Vista, Cal,
participated in one Of the scenes in
the William Fox production, "a Man
Of Sorrow" starring William Farnum.
1t is said to be the first time that the
services of practically every inhabi-
tant Of a community have been enlist
ed for a photoplay. AS a matter of
fact, there were some ten or fifteen
residents of the California town, who,
because of illness, did not take part,
but aside from these every man, wo-
man and child in the community gath
cred in front of the Gamers for the
making of the scene showing the vii
lage square.
Lester Scott, assistant to Oscar C.
APPEL, director of the production, ar.
rived in Rio Vista with Mr.. Farnum
and supporting company on a Monday
morning. After obtaining permission
Of the authorities to build houses and
other backgrounds which he desired

PUBLIC LAND SALES

Seven public auctions Of New Mex
leo state land, six Of which are of con-
siderable Importance from the stand
point Of immediate and future devel-
opment, will take place during the
coming month Of April, the seven auc-
tons including 1852 sales Of separate
tracts which range in area from 40 to
$4,000 acres, and in minimum value
at which the land a be sold from So
to S25 per acre.
The sales to take place in Union
Quay, Guadalupe and Curry counties
are of greatest general interest, since
much of the land to be sold, especially
in Union, Quay and Curry counties, is
suited to farming without irrigation
and lies in districts wherein dry-farm-
ing is now a demonstrated success.
A small portion of the land to be Of
fered for sale in Chaves and Eddy coun
ties is agricultural land, one tract con-
tanning about 440 acres of which about
half is subject to irrigation and worth
a minimum of $25 per acre. This
tract will go on the market at an av-
erage minimum value of S16.S6 an
acre. The bulk of the land in these
two counties, however, is grazing land.
The State Land department has felt
justified in giving wide publicity to

to use, he suddenly though. Of the pos
sibility of using real types in the small
town e
.Placards were posted about the town
inviting everyone to take part in the
scene which was to be photographed
within the next few days. The pla-
cards emphasized the publicity which
Rio Vista would gain il the entire pop
ulation turned out to take part in a
motion picture. II turned out that
that was all the inducement needed.
When the time for the actual making
Of the picture arrived stores were
closed up, houses locked and court ad-
journed, and everyone possessed of the
power of locomotion hurried to the
spot where the setting had been built.
As a result, certain scenes In "A Man
Of Sorrow" reveal an atmosphere of
realism which could not have been
obtained had a theatrical "crowd"
been employed.
This film will be shown at the Opera
House next Wednesday.

UPON HELP FROM
DISLOYAL ALIENS IN u. s.

Germany Is ready to fight the United
Statesmen in Europe, but in America.
When war Germany counts up
on the support Of Mexico. Germany
expects the aid Of German and certain
German-born Americans here in car
rying out plans for the destruction of
American property. Germany believes
disloyal Americans and pacifists will
squeezed in creating so much discon-
tent with war that the United States
government will be seriously hamper
ed in its war plans. A divided Amer
lea" is Germany's hope, James ". Ger
ard, now Ambassador unattached"
warned upon his arrival in New York
that the United States was on the
verge of war. And Gerard knows, be-
cause the former ambassador has fol-
lowed Germany's intrigues and prep
arations for war ever since the sink
ing of the Lusitania.
DR.. Zimmerman, German imperial
secretary of state, has been urging
Germany to prepare for war ever since
he succeeded in forcing o Jagow to
resign because Won Jagow favored
peace, and, above all, peace with Amer
lea, even at the price of submarine
war. When Henry Morgenthau, for
mer American ambassador to Turkey
passed through Berlin en- route to the
United States, he conferred with Zim-
norman, who was then under secre-
tary Of state. During the course of
one of their conversations Zimmerman
said the United States would never go
to war with Germany, because the
COMMUNICATIONS would revolt"
That was one Of Zimmercan's hob
bies. That American officials and for
eign correspondents told him that Mr..
Wilson would not be able to bring the
United States to the brink of war, be-
cause the "German-Americans were
too powerful" but he is doomed to
another sad disappointment.

cent Increase In pork for 1918 will be
required for domestic consumption and
for export to the allies, the department

and Tennessee. Is: South Carolina,
North Carolina and Virginia. 10.
IF the farmer breeders of the, varl-
Gus states do not reach the quota set
for them" the department says, "a
more acute shortage than now exists
will prevail. If the program Is carried
out market is provided for about
one-third Of the 1917 corn crop. De-
mands on the country for pork prod
ucts can be met without strain. Prices

point to assure a remunerative price

Effort to Rouse Opposition Against

Washington, Dec. 5.-Secretary Of
War Baker has exposed a campaign
Of German propagandists to stir up
race feeling in the country and rouse
opposition among colored people to the
draft
In a memorandum addressed to EN-
met j. Scott, special assistant in the
war department, who has been assigned
to look after the interests Of colored
soldiers. Secretary Baker said there
would be no discrimination against the
coloted soldier, and that charges that
such discrimination existed would be
Investigated.
What we need in this emergency"
Secretary Baker said, "is the help Of
right thinking people in the cities and
getting that cooperation so generally
that our course seems free from em-
barrassment, If German propagandists.'
who want to make discord by stirring
up sensitive feelings. are simply not
allowed to do their work"
Secretary Baker said he regretted
that there seems to be a certain amount
Of ''overworked hysteria" on the part
Of some complainants, "who seem to.
think that only coldEed draftees are
being assigned to Guty in service bat
talions, whereas thousands Of white
draftees already have been and more
will be assigned to such duty"

Fear Expressed That Document Comes
Too Late TO Save Russia.
London Dec. 5.-President Wilson's
message to congress has the fullest
possible prominence in the morning
papers but It reached London too late
for much considered comment. The
Daily News receives the presidents
declaration warmly that peace should
be based ON Justice. It adds:
..u President WILSON could faaXe.
said earlier what he said yesterday snd
II In Great Britain and France leaders
had made his words their owns Russia
today might have been ensnged in
driving the enemy from her borders
It may be too late now. It Is not too
late, however. to learn from the great
est republican government how, de-
mocracies should depor themselves in
war and peace"
The Times says there are no half
tones in the message but reiterates
that formally it expressed dissent to
the presidents distinguishing between
German government and the people no
more than the president can longer dis
tinguish between German and Austria
Hungary.
