Of the best road men in the United
States, was in Clovis the first Of the
week. Mr.. Locke is well known as a
log-book publisher and is familiar
with almost every highway in the
country. Mr. Locke made an interest
ing talk to the directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce on the benefits of
a municipal camp ground.
Mr.. Locke stated that no city was
now too large or too small to provide
camp grounds for auto tourists and
that those who fail to do so were
passed around by the tourists. He
stated that he had attended a number
of Hotcl-keepers conventions and
that the hotel men had recognized the
value of camping grounds to a city,
as otherwise the traveller went around,
besides, many tourists stopped at ho-
tells and when the weather was bad
almost all of them did so.
The Chamber of Commerce has a
committee on municipal camp
ground and every effort possible is
going to be put forth to see that a
camp site is provided.

IN PHONE RATE

Deming, N. M. Aug. 22.-The
following resolution has been
adopted by the Deming Chamber
of Commerce protesting against
the proposed increase In rates
asked by the Mountain States Tel
eohone and Telegraph company:
whereas, the cost ofsoperatlon
Of telephone systems has material
" decreased within the last year
and such proposed increase OF
rates and charges Is wholly unwar-
ranted and without justification;
and
whereas, the people Of this city

overburdened with excessive tele-
phone charges and rates a move
ment should be set on foot to Sc
cure material reductions OF the
present rates and charges; now,
therefore,
BE 1t Resolved, by the Deming
Chamber of Commerce, through Its
board of directors, that this or
ganization strongly protests against
the proposed increase in telephone
rates and charges, and respectful
" request the state corporation
commission to deny such requested
increase; and
"Be 1t Further Resolved, that
this chamber Of commerce join
with the Albuquerque Chamber Of
Commerce and other chambers of
commerce, cities, towns and viii
lagos in New Mexico in an effort
toward securing reduction of
the present excessive telephone
rates and charges"

TWO UNUSUAL EVENTS
DEPICTED, NOT WITNESSED,
!, IN PICTURE "THE OATH

"The Oath" the photoplay which
opens today at the Lyric theater
for a stay OF three days, is revela-
ton In the art of the motion pic
ture. In IL r. A. Walsh, who pro-
duced and directed 1t for the May
flower Photoplay corporation for
distribution by Associated First Ma
tional Pictures, Inc, has obtained
two intensely dramatic effects
which have been marked by critics
as being important advances in the
art of motion picture direction.
The first is giving the audience
distinct effect of having witnessed
a tragedy without ever showing the
actual event itself. The second
scene which Is regarded as notable
is the entire lack of confusion is
putting over the most dramatic in
cident ever shown In motion pic
ture. Rather than attempt to show
the effect of the action on the
crowd that witnesses it. Mr.. Walsh
has chosen close views of the emo
lions of the various characters most
vitality affected by the result that
the climax of the court room scent
In 1.-THE Oath" is as gripping &
piece Of screen art as has ever
been produced.
"The Oath is an adaptation OF
the William ]. Locke widely read
novel. Idols" Miriam Cooper
heads the cast which portrays the
story under the skilful direction Of
Mr.. Walsh, and in the support are
Conway Tearle, Henry Give and
Anna @. Nilsson.
