text, it is not difficult to conjecture the
changes which IL fell to him to make.
Evidently Mr.. Mack has kept the first
half of every act for himself. Here
his amusing types Of lower middle
class life revel in their native humor.
Admirably drawn they are too. with
paturalness and humor and very dis
tinctly presented by the dramatist. Mr..
Mack enjoys himself during this period
andsthere Is no limit to the delight OF
the spectators. Then the collaboration
eliminates himself and for the rest Of
the acts the characters Of Mr.. Morris
proceed to eXpound his theories as to
the value of the great world war. Some
times-as at the close OF the second act
Mr.. Mack cannot resist the tempta-
ton to enter the dialogue again. and
we have Mr.. Meehan's amusing ex-
PLANTATION OF his desire to get into the
struggle.
Nobody who sees THE Big Chance"
will fail to wonder when Mr.. Mack is
going to put into a play all his skill
in characterization of the lower types.
1t all rings so true. II Is SO spon-
taneous in humor. so strong with the
tang Of its milieu that unusual quality
of this kind ought to be preserved in
drama that has other values-not
frittered away as 1t was In so Much

that will preserve 1t for the public

hitherto been kept alive.

CURRY
New High School Building

1NeW Iltyn oCnOOl oullOtuG
The last week of August the Clovis
high school was dedicated with ap-
propriate exercises. 1t was made a
day of great educational inspiration
not only for the city of Clovis, but
for the entire county as we'll. Early
in the morning on Friday, the dedi-
cation day, people from the remote
of the county found their
way to Clovis and when the exer-
cises opened in the morning at ten
thirty the auditorium was well filled
and in the afternoon when the build
ing was formally turned over to the
community the auditorium was crowd
ed to capacity. The principal speak
er outside of the state was Professor
Morgan of Tennessee and other
speakers from within the state were
also present and contributed to the
program. We expect to be able to
publish a picture of the new building
with some of the transportation cars
that brought the pupils from the rural
districts into Clovis on that day.
The Clayton high school was for
mally dedicated the last of Septem-
Der with exercises in the evening with
Professor Chamberlain presiding and
Attorney Woodward and County Sup
erintendent Fl. H. Errett as the prin-
cipal speakers. This building is very
much like the Clovis high school and
both buildings represent a considera-
bic outlay of money in the structure
as we'll as in the equipment. State
Superintendent Wagner has examin
ed carefully the plans and specifica-
tons of the building and has had the
pleasure of inspecting these build
ings just prior to their dedication and
he regards them as among the best
high school buildings in the state

as it centralizes the administration

A Grain Producer

Very few people realize that Chaves
county is becoming a grain country
to no small extent. Figures avail
able land not all in) show already
there have been threshed in Chaves
county: 1902 bushels of oats; H.
1859 bushels of wheat; 2.687 bushels
of barley; 1,150 bushels of speltz.
These are government figures pre-
pared by the threshers. and the sea-
sons total will be greater when the
threshers get through.
Figure the cost of this stuff and
one will see that it is no small item.
Then again some 800 cars of apples
will be shipped from the Chaves coun-
ty district this year: this means a
net profit % the grower of some
100000 plus a $4,000 which was paid
out for labor in the orchards.
Not only all that but $500 cars of
alfalfa which means a million dol
lars to the farmers.
Take into consideration the other
crops-and one will have to admit
that the farming industry in the val
ley does amount to a great deal

Tucumcari was visited by three fires
this week, all of them coming within
twenty-four hours time. The first
was the two frame store buildings
west of Goldenberg's big store, These
were practically destroyed. Most of
Mrs. Kessner's household goods were
saved but the room occupied by the
Mexican pool hall where the fire
started, was a total loss.
About noon the residences of Chas,
Hill, neal the railroad, caught on fire
it is supposed from a defective flue,
and but little of the household goods
were saved.
That night about $50 another fire
broke out in the shack south of the
Glenrock Hotel. Near this a pile Of
bear grass also was set on fire and
quite a blaze was the result. The
fire department soon had it under
control and saved it from spreading.

the justice court can hardly ever
secure a conviction, so ambiguous is
the wording of the law. If the COM
