necessity of shipping in feedstuff,

farmers to be shipped to Clovis,
New Mex., for pasturage.

NEW PIPELINE FROM
PAMPA TO PHILLIPS
LOCAL LABOR EMPLOYED
ON CHILDRESS HIGHWAY
Employment of local labor on
highway improvement projects in
Childress county has been agreed
to by the State Highway Depart-
ment, according to a message from
Governor Dan Moody to Childress
county authorities. All state con-
tracts will contain the provision
that contractors on the road work
employ local labor whenever feasi-
ble. This move is expected to help
In relieving drouth stricken farmers
through providing employment for
them.

A survey is under way by the
Phillips Pipeline Company for a 34-
mile, six-inch pipeline from Pampa

main line from Borger to St. Louis,
and will connect with the large
casinghead gasoline plants owned
by the Phillips company at Pampa
These plants produce approximately
300,000 barrels of gasoline per day.
The projected pipeline will cost
$250,000.

Water mains at Erick, Okla., are
being lowered two feet so that they
will be below the freezing line. A
large crew of men under the super-
vision of City Engineer Milo Sim-
monds are engaged in the project,
which is affording work for Erick's
unemployed.
Lowering the mains will prevent
a recurrence of conditions that ex-
isted in Erick last winter when
several pipes froze and burst as a

Chamber of Commerce. While bus-
iness has fluctuated as a result of
the stock market crash and busi-

indicates ’’bad,’’ Amarillo and Its

FORMER QUANAH EDITOR
RETURNS FROM EUROPE
Harry Koch, former editor and
publisher of the Tribune-Chief at
Quanah. and Mrs. Koch reached
home last week from a three-
A smashingly good story, Nancy
Carroll’s beauty and talent, and
Richard Aden’s winning personality
are three features which make
“Dangerous Paradise,” which shows
at the Liberty theatre Friday and
Saturday, one of the most enjoyable
entertainments to reach this town
in some time.
“Dangerous Paradise,” Nancy Car-
roll’s first starring film, is a real
moving picture, strengthened and
supported by clever dialog. A tropi-
cal background for the throbbing
love story intensifies the gripping
adventure and William Wellman,
the director, has made the most of
his situations. Climax follows cli-
max in ever mounting crescendo un-
til the final surprise solution of the
always enthralling plot.
You will like “Dangerous Para-
dise" as well as any moving picture
you have seen in some time. It’s
the new entertainment in all per-
fection.
Nancy Carroll is seen as a girl
musician, playing in a South Sea
island orchestra. Menaced by her
employer and the hotel proprietor,
played by Clarence H. Wilson and
Warner Oland, respectively, she
seeks safety on a nearby island on
which Richard Arlen, a recluse, lives
alone. Adventure follows adventure
as Nancy falls deeply in love with
the scornful Arlen. How her daring
sacrifice finally awakens a recipro-
cal love in him makes a moving
episode, a delightful ending to a
splendid picture.
In addition to Arlen, Oland and
Wilson, the supporting cast includes
that always interesting player, Gus-
tav von Seyffertltz, and the popular
Francis McDonald. The story Is
based on incidents from a novel by
Joseph Conrad and many of the
famous novelist’s thrilling charac-
ters are wonderfully portrayed.
Dangerous Paradise” is certainly a
picture you should not miss seeing.
