who attended the meeting.
"The attendance and interest was
the greatest l have ever seen at a

lahoma City's claim for larger pat

ed attention and l believe that the
big ranchers and finishers now ap-
preciate more than ever the size and
standard of the market here. Freight
rates and service are more favorable
from south Texas. While the long
drouth caused a heavy reduction in
herds, from what we gathered at Dal-

When Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" written by Alice Hogan Rice,
was published some fifteen years ago,
the beauty of the story created a
profound impression. 1t speedily as
serted its superiority and is today
looked upon as one OF the best
sellers in the literary world This
splendid story has been picturized
by Paramount as starring vehicle
for Marguerite Clark and will be
the feature attraction at the Sugg to-
day and tomorrow
The book subsequently was drama
tized by Ann Crawford Flexner the
we'll known dramatist and novelist,
and as play, was presented with
great success at the Savoy Theatre
in New York. In the perturbation,
the best points Of the novel and the
play have been incorporated with
signal results by Eve Unsell while
the picture was directed by Hugh
Ford, who by a coincidence directed
the production of the play, fourteen
years ago.
In Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch" Miss Clark portrays the role
of Lovey Mary, a monitor in an or
phanage in whose care is placed a
child, of whose parents she is ignor-
ant, and whom she loves as a brother
This child subsequently is the central
figure of an interesting story, the
development of which provokes many
dramatic situations, and of which
Miss Clark makes the most. Miss
Clark is splendidly supported in this
picture; Gareth Hughes playing op-
posite her as Billy Wigs, Mary Carr
is Mrs Wigs, and Vivian Ogden has
the role Of Tabitha Hazy. Little

OUR BoLsHEvIsT NEIGHBoR.

Carranza is the Lenine of Mexico
We are fighting Bolshevism in Russia
but are permitting it to flourish I'M
interruptedly in the territory of our
southern neighbor.
BY sending troops into the oil fields
to prevent American drillers from
working on lands owned by Americans
Carranza has committed an overt act
of confiscation. In effect he demands
that the Americans recognize the Mex
lean government as the owners of the
fields.
The lands in question were legally
acquired by the Americans. What
Carranza proposes looks like the first
move in q campaign to dispossess
them, either by imposing such condl-
lions upon operations as to make work
Improbable or by the more direct
method-force OF arms.
These Americans have made an
honest investment in Mexico, and it is
up to the United States to see that
their property rights are respected
The stand-and-deliver methods of
Carranza ought not to be tolerated.
The administration has been patient
with the Mexican government. The
Juarez incident may indicate that it is
losing patience with Carranza and that
it has forsaken its policy of watchfui
waiting and is prepared to take the
steps necessary for the protection of
American lives and property
If we are to have a change in our
Mexican policy it can not come too
quickly. But come it must now or
later. Watchful waiting has been
tried for five years and the situation
in Mexico has not improved. 1t even
has grown worse. while many addi-
tional American lives and much prop
erty have been sacrificed.
