Show Letup in Ship
ments To Pastures.

The receipts OF both stoekyards in
Ell Paso for the week ending June 4
were not quite as great as for the
previous two or three weeks, which
might be taken as an indication that
the height of the shipping season to
northern pastures has passed and
that the southwestern ranges would
care for large part Of the remain

Stewart, proves her right TO that
title in THE Glory of Yolanda," the
Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature,
which is the attraction today.
In this story Miss Stewart plays
the part Of a little Russian girl in
whom burns an intense desire to
dance. At first she dances the
quaint peasant steps with the great
trees and bushes of the forest for
her setting. Her whole body swayS
as she skips about, arms akimbo ana
hair flying in the wind
She then goes to the great city and
enters a school where she is taught
ballet dancing. She then becomes a
premier danseuse and the elaborate
Russian settings to the picture are
really wonderful.
In addition TO the dancing, there is
real acting required in the principal
part; OF course, Anita Stewart rises
to the occasion. The Glory Of To-

II IS surprising that q statement
suck as this should have TO appear
because, while the Liberty loan bonds
do not offer that attraction which
speculative industrial bonds offer.
they are good paying investments.
The ~ percent interest is only a
small part Of the advantages offered
by these bonds. The reasonably
well 10 do citizen pays income and
other taxes. and this makes the bonds
equal in the country approximately
TO percent investment and in the
city 70 61z percent investment.
again II should be understood clearly
that If the government makes further
bond issues at q higher rate of inter-
est than ) 4 percent, the present
bonds viii be changeable at face
value for those bearing a higher rate
Of interest. Thus, even il the war Is
long and costly, and several bonds
are necessary, an investor in war
ponds may have an investment bring
ing hIgner return, with the prospects
that after peace Is declared il win
rise In value and may be sold at a
premium
The statements made above are
worthy of the most serious attention
OF any man who has the pride of his
community, his state, and his coun-
Try at heart. The world is watching

The Clayton wreck crew was called
out Sunday and hurried to Townsend
where serious freight wreck hap
pened at 5 o'clock Sunday morning.
The wreck was caused by the engineer
of a southbound freight train mistak-
ing the signals of a local freight
which had been waiting at the station
for the signal lights. A northbound
freight train was approaching the sta
tion at the same time. The engineer
of the southbound train threw on the
emergency trakes, the impact of
which buckled the train throwing five
cars on the northbound track. The
fast oncoming train crashed into the
cars, derailing the engine and cab.
Engineer Miller and his fremen of the
northbound train were buried under
the wreck, but force of the collision
threw them out of the engine cab and
into the coal of the tender. They es-
capped from being scalded to death by
crawling thru the coal after the wreck.
Traffic was delayed for four hours, a
temporary track having been built
around the wreckage, to accommodate
the early morning trains. Several of
the wrecked cars were loaded with
wheat, being shipped to eastern mills.
The engineer of the southbound train
claimed that he saw the signal light
as he was coming into the station,
which were the lights of the rear flag
man of the train which had been
shifting cars in the yard.
