TOM MIX SAYINGS
WORTH REMEMBERING
Tom Mix, a son of the roll
ing West and a loyal friend
of all outdoors, is blessed with
a very level head containting
a very clear brain. He “thinks
straight” on every subject
that interests him at all.
Here are a few of his sayings,
which indicate plainly the
sort of a man he is, and go far
to explain his extraordinary
success in a peculiarly strenu
ous line of professional activi
ty:
“The man who drinks is a
fool.. A man who has drunk
and has quit has learned wis
dom.”
“A man who plays cards all
night is an imbecile. He
must be, because cards origi
nated in the mind of a jester
for the amusement of an im
becile king.”
“‘A man who can ride a
horse is accomplished, but he
who knows when a horse is
tired and gives that horse rest
ana iooa is a man wuu
many friends and is usually
blessed in this world—and I
think he will be in the next.
A man who is kind to animals
is usually a square dealer/’
“If I were offered the
Brooklyn Bridge and had the
honor of ruling all those who
cross it every day, I would
turn down the job for a nice
little plot and home out on
the prarie a hundred miles
from a railroad.”
“I am no good in a big city.
If I sat in at a big corporation
meeting in a room hung with
beautiful curtains and fur
nished with mahogany tables
and chairs, I would lose my
shirt; but if those million
aires would come out to my
ranch where I wrould be sur
rounded by my cattle and my
horses, I could drive a harder
bargain than was ever driven
by Rockefeller or Carnegie.”
Tom Mix is to appear at
the Jewel Theatre, tomorrow,
Saturday, in his latest William
Fox picture, “The Coming of
the Law.” This is said to
be a photoplay containing
more stirring stunts than
ever before seen in a Mix
play. Admission 45c, war
tax .05.

FAVORS POWER LANT
Little Rock, Ark. April, 23.
That the local engineers,
Dickinson & Watkins, have
been conservative in their es
timate of the power possibili
ties of the Little Red River,
that the construction plans
and specifications as drawn
are all right, but that the com
pany should build at once on
a much larger scale than con
temploted, were some of the
statements of J. E. Sirrine,
consulting hydro-electric en
gineer, following his inspec
tion of the Little Red River
hydro-electro project, accord
ing to E. T. Stanfield, secre
tary of the Arkansas Hydro
Electric Development Com
pany. Mr. Sirrine’s formal
report will be compiled and
submitted to the local com
pany at an early date, he said
M V-/JL VX V/ X VUUJLlAAiXg VV v* J. vv**
ville, S. C., his home.
“Mr.. Sirrine’s inspection
and findings were all that we
expected and more,” said Mr.
Stanfield. “He will recom
mend that we immediately in
vest from three-quarters of a
million to a million instead of
$300,000 or $400,000 in the
first dam and power plant,
thus increasing available
horsepower from 3,000 to i0,
00.0. The market for hydro
electric power, will practically
be unlimited,” he said.—Mem
