Colby Production
Found Favor at
Local Opera House

Hash" found favor last evening
with a large audience at the City
opera House. the Colby cast proving
easily the possession that rare quality
known as talent. The play was given
under the auspices of the Young
Mems and Young Women's Christian
Associations. The authors of the
play, Holworthy Hall and Robert
Middlemass are both nationally fam
Gus. One of the chief features Of the
production was the one act play 1.-THE
Valiant" which is a part of "Hash."
Rowland Baird in one of the lead
ing roles was success from the
start. Baird has starred in former
productions. John A. Nelson who
has also been prominent in former
plays, took very important part
and did it well.
Prof. Everett F. Strong gave several
splendid piano solos which were well
received. Carl Rood and Joseph
Cooke proved themselves artists with
banjo and guitar. giving a very clev-
err speciality. The black face song
and dance featured by Martha Allen
and Harriette Towle was nothing
less than scream.
Music for the show was furnished
by the Mems Glee club under the di-
rection of Harold E. Clark.

boats, apparently has wiped out Rum
ROW. This season, for the first time
in years. finds no lowering f1otilla of
rum runners waiting off the coast to
send their cargoes ashore.
In recent years half dozen rum
ships, or more, have been anchored in
a great arc from Cape Cod to Cape Ann
at this time of the year. Not a ship
was reported from this region today.
All this. however. means that re-
doubled vigilance will be necessary on
the part of the land forces on the Ca
madam border. The task of the Gus
toms patrolmen has been rendered
still greater by reason of the fact
that the roads are still open to motor
travel. In previous years winter has
Blocked these winter highways long
before Christmas time, at least so
far as automobiles were concerned
There has been snow this year, but the
roads remain open.
Word went out from the office of the
collector of customs at ST. Adams to-
day to make special efforts to halt
holiday rum running. Twenty-six pa
troll cars with two inspectors in each
machine will be available to watch the
highways in the second customs dis
trict which guards the most exposed
hundred miles of border in New Eng
land, north of Vermont and New
Hampshire
Farther north the wilderness and
forests of Maine and vast stretches OF
that state to be covered before the
populouS centerS of the south may be
reached are an effective agent in dis
covering wholesale rum smuggling.
Nearly all the bays on Lake Cham
plain have been frozen over. barring
the possibility of extensive smuggling
on the lake. Lake patrol craft will
watch the open waters.
The customs and coaStguard branch
es have been far from idle during the
past year. Scores of automobiles have
been seized with their liquor loads
south of the Canadian border. Freight
cars with hidden loads of thousands
Of bottles of ale have been halted.
Three submarines have been cap
tured on Lake Champlain. These craft
were towed by motorboats and could
be submerged by filling tanks which
We're later pumped out.
Liquor has been taken from passen-
ger trains. Even horses and wagons
have been seized while transporting
liquor
Eight pack horses We're caught dur
ing the past season carrying loads of
liquor Motorboats have been seized
on Lake Champlain.
\ Along the coast rum smugglers have
sacrificed liquor valued at $1,000, 600
to 100000 or possibly more at boot
leg prices, to the various law enforce
ment agencies.
Steamers, sailing craft and motor
vessels have fallen into the hands Of

PARENTS AS TEACHERS

OF all the teaching in. the world
ninety nine one-hundredths at least
is done by fathers and mothers.
Every child learns more in the way of
actual. facts from the day of it's
seventh year than it can possibly
learn in all the rest of it's life put
together. During these first hours
and years of life the child learns to
walk, to talk, and what is far more
important it learns the beginnings of
self control. During the first years
the child puts itself in touch with
the world into which it is born, and
in these early years the parents and
the mother especially, are the teach
ers. They start the operations of the
mind, giving it it's first bent. And
however able the teachers Of the
future may be, however conscientious
and learned, in the great majority of
cases the child's future. it's success
or failure, depends upon the first
teaching influences of the mother and
father.

Doll Up The
| Mail Box

Why don't more farmers make
their mail boxes attractive? They
are in every corner of the country.
In the foreground of the farm home,
too. Yet dingy, worn boxes and
shabby, weatherbeaten posts are the
conditions under which most of the
boxes serve. Sometimes the posts
are leaning out of patch Of weeds.
1t doesn't cost much in dollars
and cents. 1t doesn't take a lot of
care. ..

A Help In
Breaking Colts

When driving a colt for the first
few times, some farmers use de-
vice which they claim is a great
help. 1t serves to keep the colt
from spreading away from the other
horse, as he is almost sure to do at
first. By being held in his proper
position, he soon learns to walk as
he should. And it is also easier to
hitch up alone with the horses
hooked SO they cannot spread apart
and get tangled up.
The device mentioned is simply a
broad strap Of heavy leather about
IL Or Is feet long. 1t is fastened to
the outside hame of the colt. then
ruin around the animal the same as
an ordinary breeding. Only, in
stead of circling but one horse, it
continues over and encircles both.
running up to the front again, where
it is fastened to the outside hame
of the other horse. Thus the horses
are firmly fastened together in the
way they are wanted to work.
. In handling a wild or vicious
animal, this method would probably
be of no use. but with the usual
farm colt which should be trained
to work rather than broken, 1t
seems to be all right and it certainly
makes things easier for both the
colt and the handler.

Seek to Show Parents
Mrs. COckburn Unwed
In Fight for Fortune

Boston, Dec. 10-(P)-Shooting up
the town used to be a nightly pas
time back in the early eighties when
/ Tombstone, Ariz., earned its name,
! Mrs. c. K. Holt, of San Jose, Calf,
, asserted in a deposition read in Suf-
! folk probate court today.
Mrs. Hollis testimony was intro
duced by counsel for the special adj
ministrators of the s4,000,000 estate
of the late otta Crabtree, in an at
tempt to discredit the claim of Mrs.
/ Carlotta Cockburn of San Gabriel,
Calf, that she was a neice of the
former actress and entitled to share
in tht fortune left to charity.
|. Through tht evidence left to Mrs.
Holt and other witnesses, the special
{ administrators sought to show the
! parents of Mrs. Cocl1burn were I'M
married and that she consequently
was not a legal heir. Mrs. Cockburn
contends that she was the lawful
| daughter of John A. Crabtree, broth
er of Lolita.
Mrs. Holt said she remembered
that on the first night she arrived In
Tombstone in February. 1881, "the
town was shot up and it scared me
| pretty near to DEATH"
and my mother told me not to be
worried, that they happened every
| night. 1t sounded like a lombard
ment. l did not know what it was
but 1. seemed to be general occur
renee.
ut didn't seem to matter much
whether men and women were mar
ried in Tombstone in those days."
Mrs. Holt said. "They lived together
just the same"
She said she had never heard that
Jack Crabtree was married or that
any woman in the town called herself
his wife.
In previous deposition George w.
Parsons of Los Angeles had told OF
| living across the street from the
Crabtree cabin in Tombstone. The
Crabtrees lived across the town In
the respectable" part Of the town,
while the other part was given over
to violation and frivolity."
Jack Crabtree was never married
to this woman" he continued. while
the family relation was sustained,
the marriage was not a legal one. 1t
was a common relation. They were
doing what so many others were do
ing-upholding a family with a man
at the head of it, woman fulfilling
the duties of wife, caring for the
household and the children, but with
no legal ties
By introduction of four other depo-
sitions counsel for the estate at
tempted to show that Mrs. Cock
burns mother departed from Tomb
stone with Jack Raab, mining camp
gambler, after she had been deserted
by Jack Crabtree. In the first OF
these depositions Jack Draper, OF
