BISHOP WISE SPEAKS
Many Topekans Hear Address On s.Se-
cret of Success at Orpbeum.

wv "a A14NSDCco a. "a RAk~tAAAs
There were more gray heads than
dark ones among the crowd of men
which filled the entire floor of the
Orpheum theater Sunday afternoon at
the first of the series of eight Sunday
afternoon meetings for men. which
has been started blythe Y NJ. c. A.
Old men, young men, high school
boys and visiting legislators were at
the meeting to hear the first address
delivered by Bishop James Wise on
1.-THE Secra of Success
Power-the power possessed by
every maa---is the thing without which
success is impossible, and which every
man possesses If he will only use it,
Bishop Wise told his audience. H.
used as a striking example the grain of
wheat. which thru natures power re-
produces itself hundred fold, and
then, thru thesinventive power of man,
is transformed into food and assimi-
lated into the human body, where it
may become brain cell, with the
power to produce a human thought.
From this point, the bishop carried
his hearers into the realm of what
human thought has accomplished ana
the wonders Of which it is capable.
But the power to know myself a
man, with the privileges and the re-
spOnSiDillt1es OF that knowledge" is g
higher thing than inventive genius,
Bishop Wise declared, and life can be-
come richer only as we enrich it by
the latent power within u.s.
The power of God is the only answer
to the problems of the world today,
said Bishop Wise, and urged his audi
ence, in closing, to go out knowing
yourself men, with the power of up
lifting the world"
Z Nelson Benning, secretary of the
Central Y. NJ. G. A, was chairman of
the meeting Sunday. Several ministers
of Topeka churches and Y. NJ. C. A.
officials were seated with him on the
platform. Community singing was led
by George Adafnson, and the speaker
was introduced by Richard J. White.
Music was furnished by the male quar-
tet of the First Presbyterian church.
The sp eakef next Sunday will be

months in France and has previously

TO CHANGE BRANDING LAW.
Representative Iddings Urges Stats
Registration of Brands.

A state registration of brands, in
stead of a country registration, will be
urged in. the coming session of the
legislature by Representative F. S. Id
dings. of Logan county. who says that
under the present system it is only
necessary to transport a branded ami
maj from one county to a-herd with a
duplicate brand in another county, to
completely defeat the purpose of the
brand registration.
There is at the present time an I'M
usual amount of cattle ''rustling'' go
ing on in the western part of the state,
Iddings says. There are several fea-
lures to the new branding law which
he will suggest.

WANT LOWER RATES
ON GRAIN SHIPMENTS
d. W. Jones, Secretary of Clovis
Chamber of Commerce Takes
Statistics To Santa Fe.

D. W. Jones, secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce, is in Santa Fe
this week working in conjunction
with the legislators from Curry
County in getting a reduction in
freight rates on grain on intrastate
shipments. TIE present rate on a
shipment of grain from Clovis to a
point in the western part of the state
is much greater than the rate on
many interstate shipments, notwith-
standing the fact that the railroad
handles the intrastate shipment a less
mileage. This is an injustice to the
farmers of Eastern New Mexico. Mr..
Jones went to Santa Fe with an arm
full Of statistics showing how
much grain was yet to be shipped
from this county and this week a
h,aring was held before the corpora
tion commission as well as a confer
ence with Santa Fe railway officials
and it is expected and hoped that
that this matter can be adjusted in a
manner that will be more equitable
to the farmers interests.

probability, a contract will be let.
The city dads are considering both

CAPTAIN Of PLYMOUTH
SCORES BIC SUCCESS
High School Comic Opera Received
BY Enthusiastic Crowds Both
Afternoon and Evening.

A crowded house speaks louder
than words in the praise of a stage
production-and crowded houses
greeted both afternoon and evening
performances of "The Captain Of
Plymouth" given by the Clovis High
School in the Lyceum Theatre last
Tuesday.
The play, a comic opera founded
on the "Courtship of Miles Standish."
was interpreted by sixty trained
voices under the direction of Miss
Marie Fischer and many who were in
the appreciative audience pronounced
it the best high school production
they had ever heard.
Mary Lillian Reagan, who played
the part of the bewitching little In
dian princess, Katonka, and Clarence
Hobby who played the part of the
grouchy old Elder Brewster, showed
that they possessed real dramatic
talent, and each of the soloists drew
applause from the crowd. Wendell
Foreman, as Miles Standish, Marion
Elliott, as John Alden, and Kathleen
Love as Priscilla, deserve special
mention; and Kent Hunt as Erasmus
the right hand bower of the captain,
kept the audience in an uproar with
his cleverness. The audience also ap-
preciated the sextette of Plymouth
daisies and the shy, humorous part
of Mercy, interpreted by Gertrude
Hockenhull.
The Indian scenes were good, and
the lighting effects added much to
the play.
Miss Fischer deserves especial
credit for the work of the choruses,
and for the success of the play as a
whole.

ANOTHER BUMPER CROP
YEAR IS PREDICTED
Twenty-Five Per Cent More Land
to be Under Cultivation Dur
ing Coming Season.

Curry County, with a record-break-
ing crop year just closed is starting
in for increased production next year,
according to reports coming in from
all parts of the county. 1t has been
estimated that nearly four million
bushels of grain Of all kinds were
produced in the county during 1920,
and less than ten per cent of the till
able land of the county is under cul-
tivation.
However, with the popularity Of
the tractor, breaking sod Is a much
faster job than it used to be, and
iron mules" are busy in every COM
munity, turning sod. Conservative
estimates place the number of tract
ors in the county at more than 150,
and. it is safe to say that from 20 to
20 per cent more land will be under
cultivation in 1921 than IN any pre-
vious year.
With plenty of moisture already
in the ground, and conditions ideal
for another crop year, the grain pro-
duction over the county for next
year should be increased at least one
fourth.

FIRST GAME Of SEASON
LOST TO ALBUQUERQUE
Clovis High School Basketball Team
Comes Home With Small End
of 22 to 10 Score.

Twenty-Five to nineteen in favor of
Albuquerque. That's the message
that the local basketeers brought
home, after their first defeat Of the
season at albuquerque last Friday.
Albuquerque scored the first
three points from a field basket and
free goal in the first few minutes
of play and it looked to Albuquerque
rooters as if it would be walk-away
for the home team. But means and
grumbles soon came from the crowd
for Clovis stopped her opponents on
rush and began to score. EXcelling in
speed and passing, Clovis soon forged
in the lead, the half ending s to b
in their favor. In the second half
Albuquerque came back and tied the
score in the first eight minutes Of
play. Clovis then speeded up, draw
ing away from her opponent with a
good margin, only to have the lead
cut down again. With the score ID to
Ia in favor of Clovis, albuquerque
tried to break up the formers team
work by running in her entire second
team en- masse but with almost disas-
trous results, for Clovis Gagged two
field baskets in 3 minutes making the
score 10 to IA. Having had nice
rest, the Albuquerque first team
again went into the game and by a
new burst Of speed tied the score
With 3is minutes left to play, Albu-
querqUe made two field baskets, thus
breaking the tie and winning the
game; the Clovis five being beaten
not by speed or superiority, but by
the two Albuquerque quntets toGeth-
er with an unaccustomed slick dance
floor.
Clovis was stated to have had the
spcediest team that Albuquerque had
met this year. The entire Clovis team
played in excellent form against
heavy odds and deserves great COM
mendation for its plucky fight.
The next game on the schedule will
be played tomorrow evening, when
the home team meets the Roswell
High School five at the High School
gymnasium. Although Clovis de-
feated Roswell by substantial score
in their first match, a good, fast game
is assured.
Amarillo comes here February lS
and Plainview February %.

CURRY LEGISLATORS ASK
LOWER FREIGHT RATES
Hull and Nichols Introduce Memorial
in Both Houses Showing Rate
Differences.

State Senator j. X. Hull and Rep
resentative W. W. Nichols have in
troduced a memorial in the Senate
and Legislature relative to reduction
in freight rates on shipments within
the state. Mr. Nichols writes that
he feels sure that a reduction on in
trastate shipments will be secured.
Following is the memorial:
"Whereas, freight rates for the
shipment of grain and hay from
points in the eastern part of New
Mexico to other points in the state
are about forty per cent higher than
the rates from points in surrounding
Mexico, and,
"Whereas this discrimination pre-
vents the movement of surplus grain
crops of the eastern side Of the state,
to points on the western side where
livestock interests are in need of said
grain crops, and,
Whereas, present freight rates are
prohibitive Of intrastate shipments to
protect the farming interests Of the
State unless such freight rates can
be placed on a competitive scale with
the rates obtainable in other states
to points in New Mexico,
"Now Therefore, BE | Resolved
that the Legislature Of the State Of
New Mexico respectfully memorial
ICES and petitions the State Corpora
ton Commission Of the State of New
Mexico to effect such negotiations
with the railroads Of the State as will
bring about a reduction in rates on
shipments of grain from points to
points in the state, such as will make
it possible for the grain raising inter-
ests to compete with grain shippers
of other states, and thereby prevent
great exodus Of livestock from the
state to pastures in Texas and Ari-
zona."
