HALLOWEEN IS OBSERVED

Many pranks were played last night
by boys and others and one could not
help but remember his boyhood days.
But there are some boys who are of
different nature. They are naturally
bad. They have no respect for their
homes and care nothing for public
property. Some of these fellows got
into the new Four Point Building and
did things which could no, be referred
to in public print. They wrote signs
on the windows, took ink bottles and
bursted them on the nice newly dec
GRATED walls of this elegant building.
They destroyed books which belonged
to the teachers and pupils.
This morning it was necessary to
dismiss school until the house could
be cleaned and the signs erased. The
officers were notified and they have
the names of boys who were seen in
that neighborhood last night, but the
boys have made their getaway, and
it may be a few days before they are
caught. This crime is one of the very
worst boy could do as destroying
school property is very serious of
fense and will send the boy to the
state reformatory where he will be
taken care Of.
The damage is estimated at $500 or
more and the destruction of books is
working a hardship on both teachers
and pupils.

POTASH At RED PEAKS
IN LARGE QUANTITIES

j. W. Boileau, a mining engineer and
chemist of national reputation, was
here this week looking over the Red
Peaks properties. He was on his way
home to Chicago from Wyoming where
he had been to look at potash propo-
sition for an eastern bunch of capital
lists. He had spent month in that
state and had located small deposit
which his company will open as soon
as possible.
Mr.. Thomas had sent him sample
of the potash here and in order to see
the location of same he decided to re-
turn by way of Tucumcari and visit
these mines. He was very much sur
prised at the quality and quantity of
this much needed article. He said his
company would finance the PROPOSE
ton If given the chance, but owing to
two other sources which had been con-
suited for the financial backing, this
suggestion could not be given much
consideration for the present.
Mr.. Thomas says that within ninety
days this property will be turning out
potash in large quantities and he is Of
the opinion that it will be one Of the
biggest paying projects every operated
in the state.

THE LONE WOLF"

Motion picture patrons who delight
in the highest type of photo-melo-
drama, story of breathless suspense,
mystery and rapid-fre action, should
flock to the Rex Theatre on Monday
and Tuesday to see Herbert Brenon's
brilliant screen Interpretation of Louis
Joseph Vance's famous novel, "The
Lone Wolf" Selznick- Pictures Of
fering of exceptional quality.
Although no star is presented in this
production, the entire cast of players
is practically of stellar quality. The
lovely and popular Hazel Dawn is fea-
tured, together with Bert Lytell, whose
stage record has few parallels among
the younger actors of the day. In
other roles will be seen galaxy of
popular photoplayers and stage ar
fists, that includes such names as AL
fred Hickman, Edward Abeles, William
E. Shay, Stephen Grattan, William
Riley Hatch, Florence Ashbrooke, Ju-
liet Brenon, Joseph Chailles, Ben Gra-
ham, Robert Fischer and Master Beck.
The story centers about a remarka-
BILE criminal, who, because of his habit
Of playing the game single-handed
and his cleverness in covering his
tracks, is known to the police as the
Lone Wolf. In Paris, this man be-
comes involved in the Vaccinations of
band of crooks who term themselves
the Pack. Among them is a girl who
arouses the VOLTS interest and in his
belief that she is one of his craft, he
aids her in escaping from the Pack.
This escape is fraught with many
perils and thrilling episodes, including
a motor-car chase through the streets
of Paris, the burning of a hotel and a
battle in the air between aeroplanes,
over the English Channel. The girl
turns out to be in reality a member of
the secret service, but upon the Lone
VOLTS promise of reformation she
gives him his liberty, with the pros
pect of more tender alliance between
them in the future.

LACKLAND,S AUTO STOLEN

Someone Stole Chas. Lackland's car
Saturday night from in front of his
residence. While he was in the house
the car was taken and when Mr.. Lack
land came out about seven o'clock the
car was gone. He notified the police
and the next day the car was found
near the railroad crossing. II is the
supposition that some fellow had tried
to leave town and started with the
car. He got "cold feet" and returned
to town in time to catch a train out
and left the car by the side Of the
track.
The car was not injured so far as
has been discerned and Mr.. Lakeland
is glad to have 1t back home.

Letter From Harry II. McElroy:

November 6, 1917, you will be call
ed on to render your verdict on the
liquor question in New Mexico. The
constitutional amendment TO prohibit
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors in the
state, will be voted on. Voters must
be registered, and registration closed
October 27. II you are not registered
you can vote, by swearing in your
vote.
Will you vote the liquor business
an outlaw, or will you be party to
its protection? II prohibition in New
Mexico is defeated it will be because
of indifference of people who are real
ly in favor of it. The saloon will vote
every wet" vote. Every dry" vote
is needed to win This talk that it
is sure to go dry" is good "wet"
talk to put the prohibitionists to sleep
so the vets can line up their adher-
ents and keep their ruinous business
going. The saloon is working day
and night when it comes to looking
after its own pocketbook-and yours
too-but many Of our "drys" are too
busy to be good citizens and exercise
their right to take part in government
welfare, to vote.
1t is no longer necessary to argue
the question, the sweeping gain of
prohibition sentiment in the Nation
best attests the fact that thinking
people are condemning the saloon. But
remember the saloon is fighting for
its worthless life, fighting by every
known device of its dirty politics. Do
not be deceived by the reports that
they have laid down. | have advice
from the State Committee that they
are at work. They will be on hand
election day to get out every saloon
vote.
Will you vote in the forenoon and
spend the afternoon getting out the
neglected vote of your dry" neigh
bors?
Save the whiskey money TO buy
Liberty Bonds, Automobiles, luxuries
for your family, education for your
children, to help win the war, and cut
down the high cost of food stuff. There
is not an honest reason for voting any
other way.
When we vote New Mexico DRY"
the United States government forbids,
by law already tested in the Su-
preme Court of the United States, the
shipment into this State of intoxicat-
ing liquors, and New Mexico will be
BONE DRY"
If liquor does not hurt you, will you
be big enough to help protect the poor
devil that it does?
Let me warn you, just before elec-
ton the liquor interests will commence
to circulate their false arguments
They will wait until it is too late for
US to answer. They will even give
you the stale argument that prohibi.
ton don't prohibit, and that New Mex
leo can't go dry even if we vote i,
dry, because the arch law-breaker is
mightier than the people or the law)
Do not listen to their arguments but
use your own head. You have sense
enough to figure this thing out with.
out the aid of the saloon which is
looking out for its own interests, moi
yours.
Will you be patriot, a good citizen
a good man, and vote to protect youl
own family?
Yours for "bone dry" New Mex
