In any case where either the child
or the parent must be sacrificed. it
is the parent who should volunteer TO
be the victim because the situation
is of the parents own making. There
are not many Of us who would ever
have been born IL we had been con-
suited beforehand in the matter.
There is only one way in which
parents. and especially mothers can
collect this debt that they consider
that their children owe them, and that
is by loving them so much that love
wipes out the debt. Whenever a
mother loves her child well enough 10

ceases TO count the sacrifices she has

HOSEA ELLIS DRAWS 3
EIGHTEEN YEARS

Hosea Ellis, who was convicted in
Beaver County court twow eeks ago
on the charge of being an accomplish
in the killing of Longenecker in Bea-
yer County last May, has been given a
sentence to eighteen years in the Ok
ahoma state penitentiary. This will
mean, of course, considering good be-
havior he may get release at the ter
mination of ten years service for the
state.
1t seems that Hosea was probably
led into the killing of Longenecker by
his brother, Harry, who was the in
stigator of the crime, and whom the
State of Kansas convicted and sem
fenced to life imprisonment.
This is the "final" of the Longe-
necker and Smith murders which
happened last May and stirred the
population Of Southwest Kansas and
the Oklahoma Panhandle for several
months.

A MOTION PICTURE
THAT WILL STRIKE HOME

a motion picture that will strike
home to many young American mar
ried couples is Dangerous Curve
AheadT,. a Goldwyn feature, written
by Rupert Hughes, which comes to
The Tucker Theatre for two days,
commencing Monday, December 26.
Miss Helene Chadwick, called the
"most photographed girl in America"
has the principal role.
The story of the play concerns the
early married life of small-town
girl who was the belle of her COM
munity before her marriage to an
easy going domestically inclined
husband tnwardly chatting under
the restraints imposed by the cares
Of her home, and the rearing of her
two children, she siezes the first OPP
portunity to taste again of the but
terfly life in society, while her hus-
band is away on business.
How she avoids the Dangerous
Curve, and is brought to her senses
by the illness of her little child, Gag
erly resuming the yoke of domestic
ity, is dramatically portrayed.
The picture is well acted and SPLEEN
didly photographed, several innova-
tons being resorted to that alone lift
the film from the commonplace.
Miss Chadwick does the best work of
her career in the picture, and she
is ably supported by Richard Dix,
Lefty" Flynn, of Yale athletic fame.

MAN ARRESTED WITH
1888 PROFF ALCOHOL

A stranger giving the name of H,
j. Buck was arrested Wednesday at
the Cimarron hotel with five gallons
of 1873 proof alcohol in his posses
sion. The man had a black suit case
specially equipped for carrying the
booze in five gallon quantities. A
metal holder in the side was so con-
structed to hold five one gallon con-
tainers.
1t is said that gallon of this grade
of alcohol will make five gallons of
pretty good whiskey( you know what
we mean), and this gentleman of
alcoholism evidently intended to
make real cleanup around these
parts during the holidays.
Buck claims to be from FIT. Worth,
Texas, but about the only matters
of Identification he carried was an
FL Paso paper, though of course it
would not have been out of the or
binary for him to have bought it on
the train merely for the news mat
ter, and probably for the purpose
of finding another location as soon
as he cleaned up in Liberal.
In court Buck plead not guilty to
the two charges, having liquor in his
possession, and transporting, but he
was convicted on the charges and
was fined ninety days in Jail and $500
on each count. He claims to be a
railroad man and out of work, so it
is possible that Seward county will
have to Ibear the expenses of him Tor
the coming six months and more, as
it is not likely he will raise the
$1,000 fine soon.
