movies who would think of such a
thing. Yet in THE Broken Melody.
the Select picture in which the great
est love-maker on the screen will b.
seen al the Colonial theatre TODAY.
there is a young woman who gives
up O'Brien.
Her name is Hedda and she and
Stuart Grant, the role played BY
OBrien live near each other IN
Greenwich village. They love each
other immensely and when O'BYien
loves. it is some love, as all his ad
mirers know. Then there comes a
wealthy woman who thinks the best
thing for Grant to do is to go to
Paris to study. He does so and Hed,Ia
let's him go. Grant studies abroad
and Hedda continues her singing At
home Both become successful. as
far as being famous is concerned But
each realizes that success is very
little unless happiness goes with it.
They are moderately happy, but the
real simon pure, unauthorized happi-
ness does not come until Grant re-
turns from abroad and the couple are
again united
It's simple little story. but It is a
mighty clean and attractive one.
More than that, the photography Of
this picture is about as beautiful as
anything that has been seen at the
Colonial theatre in many weeks. EQ-
gene O'Brien will be found at his best

R0W'S YOUR BLOOD !?
Pimples and Eruptions
Mean Bad Blood

People who have Impure or impover-
ished blood should Se careful to take
only a temperance remedy made Of
wild roots and bar;ls, such as Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery il
and has been for nearly so years.
Ingredients printed on wrapper.
The first day you start to take this
reliable medicine, impure germs and
accumulations begin to separate in the
blood and are then expelled through
the eliminative organs.
In place of the impurities, the ar
teries and veins gradually get fresh
vitalized blood and the action of this
good blood on the skin means that
pimples, boils, carbuncles, eczema,
rash, acne and many skin blemishes
will disappear. Then you must re.
member that when the blood is right,
the liver, stomach, bowels and kidneys
become healthy, active and vigorous
and you will have no more trouble
with indigestion, baekache, headache.
Get Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery to-day at any medicine deal
ers, in tablet or liquid form, or send
1Oc. for trial package to DR.. Rerce's
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
Write DR.. Pierce for free confidential
medical advice or for free booklet ON
any chronic disease.

COUNTY CLERK MISSING
Baca County's Clerk and Editor Miss
ing When Examiners Finish
With His Books.

When the force OF state auditors ar
rived in Springfield suddenly e little
over week ago and began work on
the books OF the county clerk, Chas.
Howell, he was noticed to be quite
nervous but little was thought Of it "a
out to his ranch there was no ono to
question the move. He has not been
seen in Baca county since, but he pass
ed through lamar that evening and
cashed few checks here. When the
auditors completed work on his books
they found that his bank account which
was attached was just $1,000 short Of
enough to square up. He had exten-
sive business interests consisting of
cattle ranch, newspaper just started
with an expensively equipped plant,
tractor sales business and other in
terests, but all heavily mortgaged.
Mr.. Howell was prominent as re-
former of politics and had many
friends who insist he was not in his
right mind when he misappropriated
the funds entrusted to his care. How
ever, it is evident that if such was the
case he has been out of his mind for
quite a spell. During his first year in
office he gave surety bond but the
company refused to renew and he was
forced this year to give a private bond
signed by prominent Springfield busi-
ness men.

STILL GROWING
w. F. McCue Mercantile Co. Buys
Rocky Ford and Fowler Busi-

While w. F. McCue and w. H. Gates
officers of the w. f. McCue Mere. Co.,
were in the valley last week they pur-
chased the mercantile business of the
Rocky Ford Trading Co, and the lum-
Der yards at Rocky Ford and Fowler
of the Foley Lumber Co. This big
mercantile company with headquart-
ers at Lamar now has nine locations
for stores and yards in the counties of
Prowers, Bent and Otero, and has one
of the largest general mercantile busi-
nesses in Southeastern Colorado. N.
f. Berry, who has been assistant man
ager of the Lamar business, will be
transferred to Rocky Ford to manage
the new business there. The main
valley office of the company will re-
main in Lamar in charge of Mr.. Edw.
Hertzog as heretofore, while Mr.. Nc
Cue will continue to handle the pur-
chasing end of the bsiness furom his
main office in Seattle and Mr.. Gates
be in charge of the Denver office. The
new house at Rocky Ford will handle
a full line of the same general charac-
ter as the Lamar store and yard. Mr..
McCue after completing his business
in the valley left for Kansas City last
Saturday.

STILL GETTING THEM
Ex-Sherif John A. Simpson Again
Demonstrates That He Gets
Them When He Goes
After Them.

The store of C. F. Wheeler at Villas
in Baca county was broken into re-
Gently and several thousand dollars
worth of auto tires taken. After the
officers there had failed to locate the
thieves ex-sherif John A. Simpson of
Prowers county was called in. He soon
decided that Ray Brown, formerly in
the garage business at Holly but re-
Gently running truck between valley
towns, was one of the parties and fol-
lowed him to Pueblo, where he caused
his arrest, and after sweating him n
few hours succeeded in getting the
whole story from him. He confessed
that he assisted by Floyd and Frank
Newell committed the burglary and
buried the tires north of Pueblo. He
took the officers to the place but only
about one-sixth of the plunder was
recovered. The rest was either sold
or had been hidden at some other place.
The prisoners were turned over to
Sheriff Long of Baca county and are
now in Jail at Springfield awaiting
trial at the fall term of court.
