PHILHARMONIC CONCERT MAY Is

In u public speech at Kingston, New
York, John G.. Freund, editor of Amer
ica's foremost musical magazine, "Mu-
steal America" recently stated that
"a community is not musical which
paid outsiders, whether American or
foreigners, to come and make its music
for it, that it could only be considered
musical when it made its own music,
encouraged its own musicians, music
teachers and continually raised the
standard of its own community, try
ing to assist those who work for mu-
Sic" Well and good. A country is
not Christian as long as it has to have
foreign missionaries sent to it. But
is that any reason why America should
stop sending missionaries to China?
II figures prove anything, the fact
that last year the Tucumcari Phil
harmonic Society found it necessary
to pay nearly two hundred and fifty
dollars for outside artists, and this
year is spending less than one hun
dred dollars for the same purpose,
should prove that Tucumcari is more
musical this year than last year. And
yet, the Philharmonic Concert on May
18th will far exceed anything before
attempted. Such performance in a
heather country would he financial
failure. In a cultured community like
Boston, or even thriving cities like
Denver or Wichita, it would be huge
success. To which class does Tucum-
carl belong? The splendid way in
which our citizens have heretofore sup
ported the Philharmonic Society is suf
iicient answer, Such II program as
will be presented on May 18th by Tu-
cumcari enterprise is challenge to
our culture and our citizenship. To
again quote the eminent authority, Mr..
Freund, local musical organization,
such as the Tucumcari Philharmonic
Society "is big civic asset. II ad-
vertises n community az no business
or industry could" This cannot be
less true of Kingston, New York, than
Tucumcari, New Mexico. So let us
all boost for the Tucumcari Philhar-
monic on May 18th, for three good
reasons: Your dollar will stay in the
town, you will enjoy a great musical
treat, and you will he helping to build
up Tucumcari in really substantial
way.
Among the unique attractions will
be the splendid local chorus of forty
voices, great patriotic acts and fea-
ture specialties by Tucumcari Boy
Scouts, Elizabeth Hanson Bradford
and Viola Wilson Wilson. the noted
singers, and Harry Parsons the Grand
Opera Basso-Tuesday, May 10, at the

FROM NEW YORK CITY TO
TUCUMCARI CHAUTAUQUA
Same People Present Little Women
Here as Made the Play Such u
Startling Success in New
York and Other Big

While the smaller cities are often
fortunate enough to secure the same
plays as make successful runs in the
largest cities it is seldom that the
same people take the principal parts.
II takes lots of money to bring to the
Chautauqua the very same people who
have been scoring such tremendous
success in New York and other cities
of the country in that great American
drama, Little Women"
The players who come here to pre-
sent that production are Jane Mar
bury, Henrietta Mcdaniel, George
Clark. Elaine Benton, Jean Brae and
the others who have just come from
Philadelphia, the last city to enjo:'
that pleasing successful play.
The nationally-recognized dramatic
critic of the Kansas City Star said
"lf Mr.. Brady had felt it necessary
to offer the public star, he might
with good reason have presented Miss
Jane Marbury, who takes the conspic-
uous part of 10. 1t is an excellent
role. II is not enough to look the part
As a matter Of fact Miss Marbury
is much more beautiful than 10 ought
to be, yet of an acceptable, individual
intellectual beauty Jo is the one emo
tional part in the play and to all it's
varied demands of expression Miss
Marbury responds with admirable
skill, spontaneity and good taste. Her
impersonation is n real delight"
The San Francisco Bulletin said of
her: miss Jane Marbury in her de-
velopment from tom-boy to a SER
ious minded woman, shows skill and
talent seldom cqualled on the stage.
Moreover, she becomes the real Jo
just as one can imagine Miss Acott
to have been when she penned the
lines that have made her famous"
Little Women" will be found to be
one of the most popular and pleasing
numbers ever brought to Chautauqua.
Leone Cass Barr, of the leading news
paper of Portland, said of it:
"Oh, this old world isn't growing so
bad, after ALL when we, sophisticated
to the point Of horror on our feeding
Of fiction rank as weeds, poisonous
as toadstools in damp, dark places,
sit on the lowest branch of the old
apple tree in memory's garden, smil-
ing happily in its glorious sunshine
and delight in the delicious simplicity
of Little Women" Bless the mem
orieS of Louisa Alcott! What bright,
clean, joyously, innocent stories she
wrote!"
1t is 45 years since Little Women"
made its bow to the world, but its
charm is fresh and fine and true. The
soul Of youth immortal lives in its
lines. 1t is still heart gripping and
tender, II heart idyll.

THAT OVERALL BRIGADE

At last Tucumcari has aroused the
patriotic spirit and within a few days
the majority of business men and cit
izens will be walking our strrets clad
in overalls in order to cut down ex-
penses. A number have joined the
Overall Brigade which was originated
by Messrs. Hunter, Eager and Francis,
Police Judge, County Treasurer and
County Assessor, respectively. The
following resolution signed by these
gentlemen will be the means of saving
our citizens much money If they will
only enlist:
Resolution
Whereas, in the course of human
events it has become necessary for the
people of the United States TO con-
form to a system of economy by rea-
son Of the high cost of living induced
by the conditions that have impelled
our country TO enter the European
War, and,
Whereas, it becomes the patriotic
duty Of every male citizen to aid our
country in conserving her resources
and to make personal sacrifices con-
sistent with existing exigencies.
Therefore, be it hereby resolved that
male citizens of the City of Tucumcari
forthwith enlist in the Overall Brig
ade and to adopt, as our wearing ap-
parel overalls for the period Of the
war during business and leisure hours.
Be it Further Resolved, that the
only persons exempted herefrom are
those who occupy reserved rooms about
the stock yards and travel in side-door
sleepers. C. Z. Hunter

grains) and the planting of that
ground to corn.
7. To urge the planting of the New
Mexico Pinto bean during the month
Of July.
3. To urge the early planting of
the largest possible acreage of winter
wheat. A considerable portion of this
acreage can be planted in standing
corn. For results the small grain
should be planted before October 18th.
10. To teach the necessity Of more
intensified farming; proper cultural
methods; the selection and treatment
of seeds; the control of insect pests,
and plant and animal diseases.
IL. To devise means for securing
adequate labor for the cultivation and
harvesting of crops.
IL. To ascertain what financial as
sistance will be necessary TO accom-
plish maximum agricultural results
and endeavor to secure necessary
funds.
From the above you can see that the
State War Committee contemplates
extensive cooperation. 1t is possi-
BILE that later on a special county or
ganization may be found necessary
but for the present the Quay County
Chamber of Commerce offers it's SER
vices and stands ready to render every
assistance possible.
