QUEEN OF Bee FAIR

BEEVILLE, Texas.-Because of
her success in winning prizes Of
fered for the Baby Beef club, little
Edith Smith, ten years old, was
hailed as Queen of the Bee Coun-
ty Fair" last fall. She won ali
the first premiums and tro-
plies, including two loving cups
offered by Texas stockmen, 500 in

When the Bee county Baby Beef

older brother Leonard and other
boys Of the county. She received
her baby calf from the committee

She is, in addition, devoted to her
dolls, and spends much time in

SAMUEL, RAINY DAY
8 CATSUP BOTTLES
WATER--kND MUSIC

1t was Saturday and raining
piteh-forks.
Gosh" sighed Sam as he impa-
tiently Topped down on the only
chair in his bedroom. "Wisht It'd
STOP"
For seven minutes. as Samuel
sat and looked mournfully at the
rain beating against the window,
there was complete silence.
Then-"Gee! know what I'll do.
I'll make one of those bottle xylo-
phones like l saw at the show last
Saturday night"
Out of his room he flew and
down the stairs to the basement.
From a dark. dusty corner he drag
ged an armful of forgotten, medium
sized catsup bottles. There were
eight.
Lets see-eight. Is that
enough?" and he hummed a scale
of music and counted the notes on
his fingers. Yep, eight is right
eight notes to SCALE"
The dust was soon washed off
the bottles. Then Sam held each
one under the basement water
faucet and allowed water to pour
in. The first bottle was nearly
filled. The second contained not
so much. And the eighth bottle
held only about half an inch of
water. Sam knew that the varying
amounts of water would make diff
ferent tones when he tapped the
bottles with something. The more
water the lower the tone.
On the washtub bench the
bottles were arranged according to
the amounts of water The bottle
containing the most was put at the
left end of the row. Next to 1t, on
the right, was the bottle that held
the second largest amount. The
last bottle to the right was the one
with the least water.
I'll use pencil for tapper,"
thought Sam. He tapped each
bottle carefully to see that the
tunes were correct. Several times
he had to pour out or put in a little
more water to make the sound just
right.
Suddenly an inspiration seized
him and he broke into a ragged
hammering of Yankee Doodle"
his favorite.
Guess maybe I'm not So"
Samuel" The high infection
on the last part was peculiar to
Sans mother. What on earth is
that awful noise?"
It's JUS me an my xylophone,
ma" calmly replied Sam as he
broke in on "Margie."

DEBT OF ANCIENT ORIGIN
PAID BY MONTEZUMA COUNTY

A recent meeting of the Montezuma
county commissioners was noteworthy
on account of the fact that the last
81 900 of Montezuma county's original
bonded Indebtedness was paid. When
the county was organized it was bond
ed for 100000 to pay its share of the
La Plata county debt, of which county
it was originally part and to provide
funds for transferring records and
paying county expenses for the first
year or two. This debt has drug along
through the years and the last of it
was paid last month, SO that hereafter
there viii be no more taxes to pay
interest and create sinking fund on
this account.

JULY FOURTH WILL
 BE BIG DAY HERE
Continued from page 1)

in the artistic piece de resistance of the day: the Indian Pantomime. Under the able direction of Mrs. E. V. Nestell, a beautiful, interesting and authentic representation of h. dian life, costumes and ceremonies will be enacted by gifted and we'll trained group of over thirty boys, girls, and young women. The scenes are based on genuine customs, the action is supported by musical selec- tions intimately suggestive of the mental states of the characters rep resented. The costumes are ger geous and true to life. The specta- cular scenes standing out predom- inantly are the stirring War Dance, the picturesque Corn planting scene, 'ne Marriage and Burial Ceremonies, as we'll as other incidental rites and all is bound together by the ever expressing theme of Love.
 Tie plot of the Par 5omimc is as fo flows: Roodah, all Indian Maiden, is deeply in love with Lewa, an ar tist. Unfortunately, her father, the Chief, has chosen that she marry the chief of another tribe. The relations between these main characters is closly interwoven with tne capture and eventual escape of a Puritan Maiden, and the resulting wrath of 'he Chief. In return for the insub- ,rdination of Roodah and Lewa, the angry father orders the maiden to marry the man she does not love, at once. What is the outcome? Be sure and do not miss this enter taining and instructive Pantomime. Remember, the outfeld of the ball diamond, at 7:3O, sharp.
 Following the Pantomime there will be an exhibition of fireworks more stupendous, more magnificent, more beautiful and awe-inspiring than any ever before shown in Ca naan. It will be a phase of the pro- grame worth coming miles to see, and one that will never be forgotten.
 At the culmination of this orgy of gunpowder and colored lights, the last but far from least number of the programe begins, namely, the open air dance. A gigantic canvass has been procured which will be placed on the ball field, and on which the old as we'll as the young may spend the remaining hours dancing to the poppy music of Kegler & Kee- mans six-piece orchestra. Surely a fitting manner in which to end a day of entertainment and pleasure never to be forgotten in the annals of the town.
