PARDON VILLA BANDITS
 IS LEGAL SAYS COURT

Governor Larrazolo acted within his legal rights in partoning the sixteen Villista bandits in prison for murder of Americans in the raid on Columbus, N. M., but the re-arrest of the pardon ed men by Luna county officers before their release from the penitentiary was also valid and the Mexicans will remain in the state prison for safe keeping pending their trial on fresh charges of murder in connection with the raid The state supreme court SC ruled in the habeas corpus proceedings brought in behalf of the men by the Mexican government.
 In the decision Villa is referred to as notorious bandit" and the par doned men as members of maraud- ing band of Mexicans who killed a number of our citizens without any conceivable cause or provocation." It further says that "they were not en. titled to the consideration or protec. tion from criminal prosecution accord ed members of recognized military organization"
 The court holds that the governor's s constitutional pardoning power is ab- solute and cannot be restricted by any legislative act. It was alleged he could not pardon without recommendation of the state prison commissioners.

MARQUIS WHEAT TAKES FIRST PLACE IN NORTHERN PLAINS

That Marquis wheat, the principal variety raised last year in Coconino county, is the leading variety of con- mon wheat for growing in the north ern great plains is the conclusion reached by specialists of the United States department of agriculture as a result of varietal experiments with spring wheat conducted at II field sta tions in the northern half of the great plains area chiefly in cooperation with the state experiment stations. De- tails of the experiments, including dis cussions on the principal varieties, how and when they came to the res zion, and how to distinguish them, are contained in Department Bulletin SIS, Varietal Experiments with Spring Wheat on the Northern Great Plains, recently issued by the department.

ARIZONA CROP SUMMARY
 FOR YEAR OF 1920

That Arizona farmers have suffered a severe loss in the value of their 1920 crops, due to the sharp decline in prices of farm products, is shown by the year-end announcement of agri- cultural statistician L. M. Harrison, of the United States department of agriculture, cooperating with the Un- iversity of Arizona extension service.
 The total value of all crops produc- ed during the past year, estimated on prices prevailing December 1, 1920, was approximately 40 million dollars, compared with 60 million dollars on December 1, 1919. These figures do not include the value of livestock produtts.
 Cotton presented the most striking illustration of the loss suffered by Ari- zona farmers. Notwithstanding the fact that the production for 1920 was about twice that of 1919, the total val ue on December was about three million dollars less than the crop of 1919. Last season the crop was grown on 107 ,000 acres and produced 29,010,- 900 pounds, valued at $20,307 900. This seasons crop was grown on ap- ptuAliHdttly LSc,VVu aSiOot "ish Nu So- timated production of about 52,60l, : 900 pounds and valued on December 1 at $17,475,350.
 Other estimates for 1920 crops were announced as follows:
 Alfalfa and other tame hay, 123,- 900 acres, 3.l tons per acre, 3S1 900 tons, valued at S9,363, 800.
 Wheat, 42,000 acres, "A bushels per acre, 1,0Os,OO0 bushels, valued at $2,- 271,950.

A REAL HARD-BOILED ONE

Here's one from a California rural paper that lot of people in any community might ponder over:
 Ben Bradford, known to be little gay, says the first time he kissed a woman oth- CT than his wife he felt as sneaking as he did when he first began buying of Mont gomery Ward & Co. But Ben gradually became hard ened, and many say he now trades with Sears-Roebuck, too.

AL Jolson says that he could not pos
sibly work without his audience--that
is, without his audience to feed him.
Every one who has ever been on the
stage knows how difficult it is to work
alone and be funny and how easy it
Is to spring these side-splitting jokes
when you have some one in straight
makeup standing on the stage beside
you for the express purpose of saying,
"No, my good man, cannot tell you
why chicken crosses the road. Why
does chicken cross the road?" To
which you reply, Because she let's her
conscience be her guide"
Love Thy Neighbor
AS Thyself
To any student of psychology who
happens to see Jolson in "Bombo' at
his new theater in Fifty-ninth Street,
there appears to be a very affectionate
relation between the man on the stage
and tse man in the audience. Il feel
that ! d. at a banquet or something
of the sort, with lot of good fellows
and that we are. entertaining each
osher.s
Mr.. Jolson explains this by saying
that so far as his work is concerned
it is the result Of his curiosity con-
cerning his fellow-men and his love of
exploring new minds, and that the sat
isfaction of that curiosity brought
about his love for all mankind.
The evolution and the study of man
kind began when Asa Yoelson, the
son of q Jewish cantor in Washington,
played truant from school and spent
his time studying the kind of humans
that are found around the wharves and
railroad yards. Then he wished to
mako experiments with himself and
other human beings, and he somehow
obtained small part in Israel Zang-
willis Children of the Ghetto" with
Wilton Lackaye and Mabel I'aliaferro.
Then for years young Asa, now AL, at
tached himself to the carrousels which
were drawn by horses about Washing
ton. lie also sang in restaurants.
When the Spanish war came AL tried
to enlist, although be was only four
teen years old, and when he got
turned down for his youth he became
a son of the regiment and went along
with the boys as g. volunteer enter
tainer.
After that little AL Joined circus,
New-York tribune., 1921-12-18

he said modestly, "No one could help
appearing to advantage in that part"
and this is the keynote to his. char
acter.

besieged with offers from motion pic
fure magnates attested his popularity,
and that is. haw he happened to realize
his life's ambition. Although Glenn is

the scenes. He swings on the trapeze,
walks the wire, tames the lions. and
rides the horses and he is so inter
ested that he just rushes from the
studio to the theater every night with
out any dinner.
When asked which he preferred, pic
lures or the stage, he replied pictures,

is Miss Burke; it's so. wonderful to

AL .Jolson Admits He Owes
Success to His Audience

but this did not please him at all be-
cause even then he couldn't work with
out getting a real response from his
audiences.
The Open Sesame
To Real Success
However, although Jolson managed
to exc out living he never felt that
he was getting along very fast in his
chosen profession until one day man
standing in the wings Of small
vaudeville house noticed Jolson's
Southern accent, which he had picked
up in his travels. "Why don't you do
blackface?" he asked. So AL took
, his face and remoulded it nearer to his
hearts desire. And when the man saw
the face he said: "If you'll leave it
that way I'll give you five consecutive
weeks"
"Id leave it that way for five con-
secutive days. Those engagements
don't come SO often"
There was something about that
black face of mine that seemed to
establish between my audience and me
the thing that had eluded my pursuit
for years. They liked me that way and
they fed me-"
"But how does an actor make his
audiences feel at home that way? Have
you something that other people
havent?"
"Honest, I don't know. Sometim es
go on thinking that don't know a
thing and that this is the time I'm
going to get found out. But so far the
people have been loyal. If man knows
that he isn't woman's man he's Just
got to be mans man."
And Al Jolson is mans man. Of
course lot of women enjoy him, too
but it always seems as though it is
because Fred, or Will or Bob labeled
him great in the first place; just the
way woman loves Kipling-if she
does.
