Wage Campaign

Las Animas, Col, Dec. 22.-Vig-
orous measures to stamp out pro-
duction of ''Indian hemp" are be-
ing taken by Bent county Off
cials following the discovery here
of several gardens in which the
plant was being cultivated.
The plant is known Rbotanically
as Cannabis Satira, and when ma
tured its large brown leaves are
smoked with a result similar, it is
said, to that Of opium.
Many Mexicans in the Arkan-
sas valley are reported to have
been made insane from smoking
"Indian hemp" and an extensive
traffic in the ''loco weed" has
been going ON In some sections of
Colorado.

ties for persons convicted of prop

Battery Prices Drop

Another big ana immediate re-
duction In prices OF automoDiie
storage batteries has just been an
nounced by the Prest-o-Lite COM
many, This latst reduction makes
the present selling price OF Prest-
O-Iite batteries for Fords, certain
types Of Cheyrolets, Bucks, Over
lands and several other small cars
and trucks, 81 per cent less than
the price that prevailed during
the greater portion of 1921, and
as per cent below 1920 prices.
This brings the prices of high
grade standard automobile storage
batteries down to the lowest point
that motor car owners have known
in several years.
"This last reduction in storage
battery prices will be welcomed by
the automotive public and is a fur
ther indication Of the purpose OF
the Prest- -O-Lite company to re-
duce prices as quickly as possible
to a pre-war basis" says Mr.,
Farris Of Farris Bros. High prices
Of storage batteries. at least as far
as Prest- o-Lite is concerned, can
take to a deep hole and pull the
II ola an a ffax fham
"It will be recalled that Prest-
O-Lite was the last manufacturer
to increase prices and the first to
announce a reduction.
"These new prices will apply to
all types and sizes and are for the
powerful, long-lived Prest-O-Lite
batteries that are now standard
equipment on 81 makes Of motor
cars and trucks.
ut will no doubt surprise many
motorists to learn that practically
one-half Of the new cars sold on
the Pacific coast during the first
six months of 1921 were equipped
with Prest-O-Lite batteries. In
some sections of the Pacific coast
the percentage of new cars that
were Prest-O-Lite equipped run
ming as high as 60 per cent.
II would unhesitantly say that
the main reason why Prest-O-Lite
is now able to make second re-
duction in prices is because Of the
tremendous volume of these bat
teries that are sold throughout the
United States. This volume, which,
the country over, runs into many
ten Of thousands Of batteries per
month. makes it possible for re-
duction in price, while still main
tanning the high quality Of the
product"

Virginia Gets a Surprise.
II don't quite understand, Mrs.
Drayton, why you are SO sure that
/ will have no trouble getting on
in pictures" replied tartiy.
There was rasp in my voice as
said this.
"Oh, didn't mean anything
nasty" she answered. But any
one can see that Tommy Warner
is very much taken with you"
II don't think he is. He Is just
kind hearted. One would have
more reason to say that he was
taken with you. He turned me
down when the director suggested
that might do the little part and
singled you out from the rest of
the atmosphere for 1t. Perhaps l
haven't been here long enough to
get the viewpoint that one must
have a director personally inter-
ested to make prograss."
Ruth Drayton looked at me rath-
er shamefacedly, but she said no
thing. Then and thereto my
surprise-I got an inkling Of the
ruthless ambition and brittle NOR
al fibre of Ruth Drayton's char
acter. I rather pitied the young
chap who was i'll back in his
apartment, for it seemed to me
that, perhaps more or less uncon-
sciously, this girl being in love
with love only, had used Ralph
Drayton to further her scheme of
breaking into the movies. Many
girls, 1 found out afterwards, are
like this. You find them in every
walk of life where women start
toward the goal or their ambition.
Perhaps they are more plentiful
in the movies because such women
usually try to pick the easiest way
and unfortunately those people
who exploit moving pictures and
movie actors only talk Of the sue
cesses and tell nothing OF the dis
appointments and failures.
Thirty-five hundred girls come
to Los Angeles every year to en-
ter this aIluring profession, And
taking the most sanguine press
agents word for 1t there are sell
dom more than ten girls out of
that thirty-five hundred who
ever reach stardom.
This logical philosophy did not
come to me on the day when Ruth
Drayton made the slurring remark
regarding Tommy Warner and my
self. l got no further than think
ing that she was a little cat as
hurriedly put on my coat and
hat and met Tommy at the gate.
Gee, Virgie, this will be some
newspaper story"
"There amt going to be nc
newspaper story because no one
but you and I are going to know
anything about it except the inter-
Tested parties.
| ut will take o nice, fat piece
of Herb Richardson's roll to keep
1t then"
"You are not going to tell, and
surely l am not"
"But don't you understand. dear
girl, that there must be such
things as licenses and some one
to tie them up?"
"Surely do. but I read yester-
day Of one Of the popular movie
actresses who had been married
twice in two years and kept sec
ret not only both marriages but
at least one divorce"
Tommy laughed, well, blondes
do put one over once ip a while
don't they?"
We got to the apartment and
found Ria very quiet and sedate.
She seemed to have thrown all her
nervousness aside when she came
to her decision of marriage and
caring for Kitty Dalton M sg
