Dry Ware Boosts
Theatre Receipts

One month of prohibition has added
thousands to the patrons of New York s
amusement places. The usual decline
IN theatre attendance looked for at the
beginning of July has completely re-
versed itself, and not only arc the
shows playing to capacity houses, but
producers are booking elaborate pro-
ductions at earlier dates for the COM
ing season than ever before.
Moving picture houses have shared
in the general prosperity and the de-
cline Of the saloon has diverted dimes
taxicab. These are reorganizlng them
selves in the life Of Manhattan, accord
ing to those interested in the dvi-
dends.
The cabaret has been a heavy suf-
ferer and likewise its concomtant, the
and quarters to film shows. People are
dancing more, while thousands have
taken some comfort in getting a skate
on at roller rinks, which usually close
during summer.
Picture Houses Benefit
Harrington Baker, general manager
of the Universal Film Manufacturing
Company, distributors of moving pic
lures to almost every town III the
United States, said:
There is little doubt that prohibi-
tion has been great help to the the
atre business. Moving picture houses,
in New York and throughout the coun-
try, have been benefited. Coming at
a time when managers expect decline
in box office receipts, the dry law has
seemed to increase attendance"
Jack Ea+Op tnarafyiDU 4 irp.tOr of N q
Strand Theatre, said
There has been q marked increase in
attendance this month. It's up to the
theatres now to supply the pep that
has gone out with drinking. | don't
mean the theatres should substitute
the thrill and the jazz of the cabaret,
but on them rests the obligation Of
real entertainment that will hold the
public"
Morris Gest, proprietor of the Cen
tury Theatre and the Century Grove,
and member of the Theatre Mana
gers Protective Association. said the
last month has seen unusually high
records in the amusement business. Mr..
Gest said rain always helps theatres; !;
it drives people off the streets; that's
one kind of dampness that is helpful.
AS for the dry laws it remains to be
seen"
iNidN U hanger view VI lut luc-
atrical future was just as rosy as the
others. Agents out on the road with
shows have reported greater attend
ance on all bookings, and the summer
engagements were drawing mid-season
houses, they said.
Cabaret Feels Change
The cabaret is the only loyal friend
that went down with liquor. Most OF
the Broadway palaces that glittered
with the names of alluring dancers and
pony ballets have dropped the revues
and are struggling along with a dance
orchestra and high priced bill of fare,
with short, kickless drinks at long
prices.
Thomas Healy. veteran cabaret king,
said yesterday he was satisfied. Mr.
Healy has one of the few successful
cabarets at Sixty sixth Street and Co.
lumbus Avenue, and denied that pro-
hibition had hurt the establishment.
when you have run place for twenty
years like l have here, you don't have
to worry about prohibition" MIR.
Healy said But most of the smaller
places have absolutely abandoned the
cabaret and the revue.

The eA1yo51e5 If I'emce

OK centuries ago, great trading fleets,
~ of about five hundred vessels each,
sailed every year from Venice-tor toe
Black Sea, for Greece and Constants
nefle, for Syrian ports, for Egypt, for
Barbary and North Africa, for Flanders
and England. The Venetian merchant
adventures travelled with their goods,
tor sales were MADE ottener by barter
than for money. The rewards were
great, but in almost every venture over
seas the merchant risked not only his
capital but his life as we'll.
Venice for centuries during the Middle
Ages was the commercial center of the
word, and it was there that CONNER
cia. banking reached the highest devel-
opment attained up to that time. Yet
the machinery of commerce and bank
ing was crude and cumbersome compar-
ed with that Of today.

THEY DON'T DIE THERE
Columbus, Largest Town in World
Without Undertaken

Willard f. Holt, secretary of the
Columbus chamber of Commerce, and
known throughout the Southwest as
loyal New Mexico booster, is in the
city today for the purpose of consult
ing with the highway authorities con-
corning better and shorter route
from Las Cruces to Douglas by way
of Columbus, which is the only aerial
station on the border outside of FL
Paso.
Columbus got into the game pretty
late to land the big Highway but it is
certain no mile stone will be left UNI
turned that will influence the Bank
head commission to adopt this better
and shorter line, although the com
mission did not have an opportunity
to inspect the road personally.
Mr.. Holt says that Columbus is
some hustler for town of 1900 pop.
ulation and when the big oil well is
brought in the border village will be.
come a commercial city.
There is a civilian and military pop
ulation at the present time of about
5000 and yet the town has never found
il necessary to support an under
taker.-Las Cruces Citizen.

Never was il SO important for far

their worst enemy-cholera- il is
this wear. saw specialists of the
bureau OF animal industry of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. While the number of hogs lost
through disease decreased from AS
per cent of the total in 1917 TO 81
per cent in 1918, the value of the
hogs actually increased. A 200-pound
hog that was worth S26 in January.
1917, was worth $36 in January, 1918.
Today similar hog would sell for
SAP. In 1918. the year the work to

One thing that made il possible for
America to supply the allies with
meat was the fact that within the last
few years the state and federal au-
thorities and those working with them
have learned a good deal about hand
ling hog cholera. If the old bugbear
of the swine industry had been per-
mitted to put in such destructive
blows in the last three or four years
as it did in 1913 and 1914 there would
have been many porkless days.
The fact that the war is over should
lead no one to think that the fight
against hog cholera can be slackened
in the least. The ultimate object Of

We are glad to bring 20 the Luna
county farmer any information we
possibly can that pertains to the hog
growers worst enemy. What the
enormous losses are may be learned
by reading the following paragraphs,
as well MS to learn what the govern
nicnt, through cooperation, has been
able to accomplish.
We trust that the reading of this
article will emphasize the Importance
of precaution sufficiently to stir up n
few of the swine growers who have
neglected vaccinating. AS the county
agent has gone over the county he
has recently found several herds that
have not been vaccinated against hog
cholera. To neglect this matter is
taking a mighty big gamble, and wo
are of the opinion that no Luna
courty swine grower is in a position
to do this just now.

Complete Eradication Probable

Without the efforts Of federal and
state agents in the proper application
of serum and improved methods Of
handling outbreaks of hog cholera,
this loss would be entirely probable.
With the support and cooperation OF
the local authorities, farmers and
others, the complete eradication OF
hog cholera is within the bounds Of
probabilities. The saving Of this
enormous annual loss to the farmer
would be reflected in the retail price
of pork to the consumer.

and voted $4,000, 900 for this purpose.
This money, and more II necessary, is

for lodging and for other necessary
expenses of those who take the
