ARCADE SUNDAY AND MONDAY


One of the most thrilling chapters
from the romantic history Of the
Northwest Mounted Police is the basis
for the story of "Man Trackers, the
Universal photodrama which is to be
shown at the Arcade Theatre begin
ming Sunday.
George Larkin, hero Of Countless
serials and feature pictures, and JOS
ephine Hill. fascinating little blonde,
play the leading roles, supported by a
splendid cast.
Those who are familiar with the ira
ditions of the scarlet coated riders of
the North will perhaps recall the in
cident which has been written into the
plot of "Man Trackers."
A young sergeant of the Mounted
loved the daughter of the inspector.
His rival for her hand was the son of
an influential citizen of the commu-
nifty. The rival plotted against him
with a gang Of criminals and made it
look as thought the young officer had
shot him without provocatlon. He was
sent to prison, cashiered out of the
service and utterly disgraced. His re-
turn to right his wrongs was one of
the most dramatic events of the north
country not long ago, and has been
perpetuated in this picture with q
smashing climax of amazing unex-
pectedness.

NEW FOX STAR WINS
IN EXCELLENT PLAY,
CINDERELLA OF HILLS"

Barbara Bedford well upheld the
reputation of her producer, Will
liam Fox, when she appeared in
cinderella of the Hills" at the
Pastime theater yesterday AMI
which is being repeated today, and
justified her recent elevation 20
stardom. Her ability is astonish-
ing, when one considers that she
is not yet out of her teens.
The story, by John Breckenridge
Ellis, is of a mysterious girl of
the mountains. living in fear of
her stepmother. One day Claude
Wolcott comes to the property OF
the Gradleys to sink oil wells, and
with him is a former lover of the
beautiful stepmother, Mrs. Grad
ley. The engineer is attracted by
the mistreated girl, and his COM
panion renews his love makine
with Mrs. Gradley. Mr.. Gradley
is made frantic by the actions OF
his wife. Then follow several
complications that lead to the
death of the stepmother and to
a totally unexpected final climax.
Howard M. Mitchell, who has
directed Shirley Mason in many of
her Fox successes, was the direc-
tor of Miss Bedford. His long ex-
perience is apparent. He knows
how to emphasize at every stage
the strong points of the star.
The cast includes Carl Miller as
leading man; Cecil Van Auker as
the "heavy;" Barbara La Mari
Deely as the stepmother; Tom Nc
CURE as the father, and Wilson
Hummel as a village gossip.

tics to show that there are now

the missionaries, discussed im2or-
tant problems and emphasized the
ACCESSIBILITY of new missionaries
making a thorough study of the
Burmese language in order better
to attain the viewpoint OF the
people with whom they work. The
chief topic of debate was the ques-
ton of grants-in-aid which the
mission has been receiving from
the British government for Its ed
vocational work. Though many
contended that the acceptance OF
these financial grants is a viola
ton of the historical Baptist doc
trine of the separation of church
and state, the conference voted
that present conditions in Burma
justify the continuance of this pol
icy. The conscience clause" was
another disputed question. it
adoption, would mean that in all
mission schools attendance a.
Bible study classes would be OPP
tional rather than compulsory.
The conference recommended
the appointment of an educational
secretary for Baptist schools In
Burma. Another important action
was the decision to establish al

! guage school for new missionar-
les. At Taunggyi, Burma, a school

can teacher has already arrived

COUNTY To SAVE
A LARGE SUM BY
DOING OWN WORK

In spite OF the fact that the con-
tractors bids ranged from $3.50 to
$3.50 yard, the crawling of the
extension of the Rio Grande boule-
ward north of Old Albuquerque is
being done by the county, under
the supervision of the county road
superintendent, at a cost of $l.0b
per yard.
The road was graded by the
county last fall and bids were asked
for the crawling of several miles or
the road. When the bids were
opened, 1t was found that the coun-
ty could not afford to pay such
prices as were asked and the mat
ter was dropped for a few minutes
by the commissioners while they
drew deep signs Of surprise and
awe.
The county road superintendent
then came to the rescue with the
statement that the county itself
could do he job at about one dollar
yard. Reluctantly and doubtfully,
the commissioner authorized him
to start work. A large part OF the
road is now completed and the cost
for the entire job will not run over
$1,05 per yard.

GANG OF FIVE
DOES NOT CALL
FOR THE $4,000

The "Gang of Five" probably
one or more boys, threw a scare in
to the minds of Father Week. and
several other of the Old Albuquer-
que priests last week through a So
called "black hand letter. The
letter demanded that $4,000 be
buried under a bench in Highland
park by Saturday night.
If 1t was not buried there by the
appointed time, murder, fire and
many other unpleasant things were
limited at.
The jokesters, whoever they were,
apparently did not have much faith
in the letter being taken seriously,
for although the officers Of the
sheriff's office saw to it that box
containing $4,000" was properly
buried, no one has come to collect
the forced Christmas present.
The letter follows and was adj
dressed to "Tne Fathers of the
Church of San Felipe:"
1--WE are a gang Of five; we don't
ask nothing from you Fathers, only
we are in need of $4,000 each. And
you Fathers will come across with
the $4,000. If you Fathers refuse
to give up this amount of money,
all you Fathers will lose your lifes.
Be sure and don't tell nobody; no
police of no kind. This money
should be taken to the High Land
Park and be setted under the first
banch only 6 inches deep; If you
fathers notify the police and one
of the gang will be caught; but the
rest 4 is enough to blow all your
residence and your sells too; even
the church will be blown up too;
from this date of Is we will give
YOU as hours to think of time: re-
member the place under first bench
6 inches deep between first to legs
of the bench at the High Land
Park. Now Is your time to think.
Refuse: you fathers will be sorry
afterwards. If you accept you
Fathers will be save from the

LOANED, ASSERT.
Finance Corporation Is
Stretching a Point to Save
the Livestock Industry
From Destruction.

Santa Fe, Dec. 20.-The federal
government, through the war
finance corporation, is lending more
money on livestock than the Sc
curity is actually worth, in an eff
fort to save the livestock industry
from destruction, it was brought
out through testimony taken at the
second days session of the annual
conference of county tax officials
with the state tax committee. The
conference heard both j. M. Ray
nolds, president of the First Ma
tional bank of Albuquerque, and
Arthur Seligman, who is vice pres
ident of the First National bank of
Santa Fe, and q director of loan
company organized to cooperate
with the government loan agency.
Attitude of Banks.
Reynolds testified as to the atti-
tude of the banks toward livestock
loans, explaining that the govern
ment agency is lending more money
than the banks can afford to lend.
Banks would like to help the live
stock industry, but cannot do so at
hte peril of stockholders and de-
positors. -
Seligman said the government is
accepting valuation of SO on
sheep, lending 80 per cent of that
valuation while the actual value OF
sheep is known to be much less.
Banks are now calling livestock
paper. and loans secured from the
government are largely for the pur-
pose of taking UP loans at the
banks. Seligman said the govern
ment is not so much in business as
it is trying to render service to the
whole public by saving the live
stock industry from disaster.
While the government is accept
ing a value of S. for loan purposes,
sheepmen are asking for valuation
of SO for taxation purposes. Inc
same ratio prevails as to cattle.
Testimony taken and arguments
heard at this conference will pe
used by the assessors and the state
tax commission to determine values
which will be used for assessment
purposes in 1922. Power to FIX
these valuations Is vested in the
county assessors, who now have the
power to fix the assessment of graz
ing lands.
Scale OF Valuations.
The conference will end some
time wednesday, when some uni
form scale of valuations will be
agreed upon. In addition to the
two bankers, several cattlemen
with extensive holdings were heard,
and a number of assessors asked
questions and expressed their views.
