TO an authoritative statement here

These German shipments to Mexico

tons and smaller calibre arms, as well
as a large quantity OF machih> guns
and hand grenades. has been EFFECTED

CHAUTAUQUA A SUCCESS

The chautauqua was a decided sue
cess, both from the standpoint OF H.
nance and educational enjoyment.
However, no other worthy enterprise
In the city ever received such "ham-
meringS' from the renowned and grow
ing Deming institution known among
boosters as the anvil chorus" This
flourishing organization. headed by
some Of the city's business men who
ought to know better, got ION the job
and succeeded In defeating one OF the
objects for which the chautauqun con-
tract was sIgned--raising of funds for
the public library, which has received
no support from the business men OF
the city for the past three years.
Yes, gentlemen, there are "sore
spots due to the unwarranted opposi-
ton; and those wounds are burned on
the souls OF group Of Demlng's UNI
selfish and earnest women which will
not heal for many day. They feel.
and rightly, that those who could not
help certainly should not have gone
out Of their way 10 discrcdit and with
hold the only reward the women
sought, financing the public library.
Demlng wouldn't have library had 1t
not been for the vision Of higher things
which, Heaven be praised, the scoffers
cannot dim by sneers OF contempt. The
time will come when these self.consti-
tuted high priests will acknowledge
that their judgment is subordinate to
the ideals which the women OF this
community hold. Gentlemen, now Is
the time to get right" But. you Lain

tistry and educational value OF the
chautauqua. No one knocked on the
street carnival, though II was not here
for either moral or philanthropic pur.
poses--no not exactly; IL levied its tax
and got away with IT,"
The principal point Of attack against
the chautauqua seemed to be the
guarantee" required TO bring IL here.
or course, the "anvil chorus nor none
OF its members, had put up this money
to furnish the guarantee" "How
come" they were 80 worried about It?
Do they, "for the love OF Mike" think
the women are so stupid as to believe
them sincere? Guess again, gents"
As matter OF fact, the chautauqua
program was purchased outright for
$3.50, hence there really was no guar
antee at all. The library was TO re-
ceive all the profits. The women had
just as much right to buy II and sell
II Mt profit as our merchants to buy
goods in New York and sell them here
at profit. Besides, they believed
they could thereby avoid begging for
the library, which needs money so
badly. Then there was the incentive
Of gaining the enjoyment and good
from superior music and lectures de-
signed to stimulate good American citl-
zenship, to harmonic local factions
and unite the citizens for the upbuild-
ing of the community. Local play
houses do not vend this kind of en-
tertainment, hence the right and duty
to import 1t.
The immediate result Of the foolish
and selfish opposition to the chautau-
qua this year Is the certainty Of its
"infliction" on the community next
year. There IL your answer, gentle
men, and next year the public library
will have no connection with II. II Is
coming on its own merits, because the
people want it as a permanent institu-
ton. This year II was difficult TO get
ten signatures on the contract; for
next year men are bidding for n place
to sign. True men like fair play and
sportsmanship and the slgners are per-
fectly willing to pay for the contract
TO show their contempt for the methods
used 10 defeat the women who worked
so hard only to have their reward with
held.
The women Of the library committee
sold seven tickets to ambulatory pa
ticnts at the Public Health Service
hospital. Members of the anvil
chorus" said 1t looked as though they
were grating on the helpless. What

who purcha sed tickets attended and
enjoyed the program. Ask them If the
six numbers were worth 81. The men
at the hospital are not objects Of
charity: they are well paid and resent
being considered as paupers. II Dem

DANCING IS
 AN EXHIBIT OF NAKEDNE;SIS

SAN JUAN, Sept. 25 (by Associat- ed Press) Present styles and the new dances are severely criticized as immodest and degrading by the Rt Rev William A. Jones, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Porto Ri CO., who has issued warning to both priests and practitioners against their demoralizing influences.
 Certain of the modern dances are "mockery to shame and in reality are nothing more than a bait to sensuali- ty," in the opinion of Jones, while the style of the day in women's dresses, he warns, should not be used to lex hibit nakedness.'
 Priests are advised that they may not organize dances for church bene- fits, according to instruction from the Pope, while they may not attend fes- tivals organized by lay members of their congregations where dancing is indulged in.
 The bishop gives his views to both priests and members of the church in this diocese and published in the official church bulletin.

Transfer Agent Shannon that be
cause OF the tie-up there was no
work and they were instructed not
to report until notified. This is the
first trouble that the strike has
caused at Brunswick. All of the
men are loyal to the road and are
not in sympathy with the strike.
Switchmen and car repair men are
still at their posts.
But three eastbound freight trains
left Brunswick Thursday. Not a
westbound train arrived or was
sent out. Ordinarily about 20
freight trains eastbound and the
same number west leave Brunswick
daily. No Westbound freight has
been received at the transfer shed

goods are being handled.
