Quoted.
In 1918 they had a farm bureau,
with active committees in every COM
munity in the county-which accounts
for the difference. Now they can get
prompt cooperation in any move for
the good of farming. Hog cholera had
long been taking toll of the hogs of
Dunkin county, and in April, 1917, the
county bureau decided to inaugurate
a general eradication campaign. Each
community committee was notified that
the county agent and a veterinarian of
the United States department of agri
culture would visit the community on
u certain date, prepared TO vacclnate
hogs. Farmers were urged TO get their
hogs irto pens beforehand, IA neces-
sary preliminary, as hogs are ordi.
narily allowed to run at large in that
region.
The response to the appeal of the
local committeeman was prompt and
general. Hogs were offered for vac
cination in every community in the
county. In a short time $500 animals,
on $50 farms, had been given the
simultaneous treatment, and the dis
ease was apparently checked. A few
weeks later, however, other outbreaks
occurred and the work was resumed,
49,
1,200 hogs, on "a farms, being vacci.
mated. Now, although hog cholera has
not been stamped out altogether, II Is
apparently under control and it's vir-
tual eradication seems assured, since
the farmers of the region have been
convinced by actual demonstration OF
the value of vaccination.
The campaign has shown. also, the
practical value Of the farm bureau or.

farmers W organization, the county
agent and the federal veterinarian
would have been almost ~powerless t.

Is not only creating much interest and

The old Family Album
Father of This Young Man
Played Important Part in
City's Early History.

JAMES l. MARI, the subject OF the
) accompanying picture, made when
he was six years Of age. was born in
Philadelphia. Pa. and came to Il
Paso with his father in 1878. when
FL Paso was a very small town and
needed good citizens, even ex-Yankee
soldiers. as his father. the late Col
James Mari. had been. He preceded
the railroads here three years.
Col. James Mari. the father of
James L. Mari. was one Of the lead
ing men Of FL Paso during his life,
and played very important part IN
the life of the city. He organized the
first Law and Order league in Fl
Paso, 1SS0-1SS1, and was captain of
the Vigilance committee when the
town was overrun blythe lawless ele-
ment- He organized the first Repub-
lican party in Ell PasO and also or
ganized the first chamber of COM
merce in 1888. under the name Of the
Fl PasO Bureau Of Information.
S. Fl. Buchanan was its president
and Mr.. MARI was its first secretary
and vice president and wrote all the
literature which it distributed.
Col MARI brought the first print
ing press TO FL Paso in 1873 This
press was freighted by OK team from
the Santa Fe-railroad.
He opened up all the main business
streets of FL PasO in lSsO-1SSl and
built by contract the street car lines
for the first mule cars in FL Paso and
Juarez-
At the time Col MARI opened up
the streets, many adobe shacks were
setting in the middle of some streets
and in other instances they were jut-
ting ont into the street several feet
AS the streets had been dedicated
prior TO that. those in possession Of
them were merely squatters. Col
Mari simply tore down their shacks
and fences where they refused TO do
so themselves. and made the streets
wide enough for future use. He was
made a special deputy city marshal
for this work.

Saturday was 4 busy day Of actors
and friends CT FL Paso's Municipal
.Theater association. There were cur
tains TO sew. costumes to make,
scenery to put together and no end
of other things to do. aside from the
regular business Of rehearsals. IN
der the direction Of Mr. Viehman, as
sisted by Miss Beatrice Stiles. who
has spent the last two years in the
east making a special study Of the
technique OF the theater. the work
went forward splendidly.
In the high school auditorium the
players were putting on the finishing
touches and working out the line
point Of the business" Of the plays
like seasoned actors. Out on the roof
of the building, a group OF Boy Scouts
of Troop No. ]. clad in their uniforms,
were making scenery, tacklug muslin
onto huge frames, FASTING down edges
and. finally. painting them all gray
and green to serve as cottage walls
and ceiling to house the "neighbors"
and the charming folk in The Land of
Heart Desire"
Below. in the basement a prominent
citizen stood over the boiling pots Of
glue and mixed paint and alabastine
to just the right consistency. In the
sewing room nearby. six sewing ma
chimes hummed all day turning out
yards and yards Of finished curtains.
Gee, this is fun" one Scout was
heard to say; I'D like to do this every
day" Then he dropped his hammer
and slipped into the auditorium TO
listen to 'sNetty." It proved too in
teresting to leave and it was some
time later that George Foster, one Of
the actors in The Land Of Hearts

found him there and enticed him back
