AMERICAN women want stamp
bearing the portrait of one of their sex
and they have chosen Martha Washing
ton for the honor 1t proposed to have
her picture on the new twelve-cent
stamps. This is an innovation in Ameri-
ca, where women have an indirect, rath-
er than a direct, part in governmental
affairs. Foreign countries use their
queens picture for their stamps, bu.
America has been selfshly masculine in
the stamp adornment heretofore and
the women are claiming equality in that
as in practically everything else.

National banks are restricted in the
size Of the loans they may make to any
one person. Up to a few years ago the
restriction was very great-too great
indeed, to be practicable or desirable
Now, however, the law is liberal, since
it permits loans to the amount of 10
per cent of the combined capital and
surplus Of the bank, with the provision
however, that none shall exceed 30 per
cent Of the capital
Comptroller of the currency Murray
has Just announced that he is about to
devote especial attention to enforcing
this provision. 1t is said that not many
years ago so per cent Of the banks yio-
lated it, but at present the percentage
has been reduced to IS. The comptroller
holds that there should be no violations
at all He is handicapped, however, in
his efforts at enforcement by the fact
that the only penalty he has in his pow
er to inAict is the revocation of an Of
Tending bank charter. And where the
excess loans in no way impair the bank

People sometimes imagine that the
climate is changing materially but it
is not. The cutting of the forests may
make some difference, but otherwise
there is no change worth speaking
about in thousand years. A man

he thinks he can live long enough to
notice real difference. resulting from
the diminished heat from the sun or

BROWNS IN TOWN.
And Plays to Packed Opera House
and All Pleased.

Brown certainly was in town to-
night and the S. R. o. had to be
hung out at the opera house. 1t
was the largest crowd of the season
and all were well pleased, and the
Lamar Dramatic Club will have no
trouble getting another crowded hous
whenever they decide. to put on an
other play.
The members of the club have not
only developed great deal of drama
tic talent. but they have displayed
splendid Judgment in the class of
plays chosen 80 far. Both Charley IS
Aunt and Browns In Town
have been well suited not only to
the talent of the performers but to
the taste of the theatre7going pub
lie. 1t is seldom that so large a
crowd is so well pleased with show
OF any kind, and especially of home
talent production.
All deserve special mention for
their work as all did well and some
acted like genuine stars. E. b. Mil
ler was Brown or Dick Preston. and
was certainly in a mess all the time;
Ed Leigh as Arthur Howard, his
rival, succeeded in convincing all
that the life of Mormon elder has
its drawbacks; Ralph Randolph, as
Abel Preston, Browns father, gave
q good exhibition of 'calm'' gen
tieman visiting reckless son; Will
Leigh, as Worth Carew. was such a
good dude that he will have hard
work to live down the part; James
Frisbie, as Pollock. the negro garden
er, filled out the male part OF the
cast. Miss Edna LyVere as Brown IS
wife carried out the leading lady
Iole like a real star, and was ably
seconded by Miss Effie Davis, who
took the part of Susanne Dacre, the
very accommodating friend. Miss
Ellen Bannister as the German heir
ess and Miss Fay Martin as the
cook helped materially to add to the
fun and the complications. Little
Miss Juhette Friedman gave some
pleasing specialties in singing and
dancing between acts
The company will most likely give
the play at both Wiley and Holly,
a date having been made for Sat
urday, May Sth, at Wiley. The peo-
pile of those places can depend upon
a fine evenings entertainment. x

Lost Two.

On Friday and Saturday the Lamar
High School base ball club played in
Rocky Ford and La Junta. Friday
the Rocky Ford game was played and
Lamar got the small end of a lot
score. Had the Lamar boys support
ed their pitcher as the Rocky Ford
boys did their pitcher there would
be far different story to tell fol-
the boys bunched six safe drives in
the seventh inning and earned five
runs. In the ninth another earned
run was made by clean hitting. Rock!
Ford only made three earned runs.
There were no particular stars on
the Lamar team and the only feat
ure of the game was the hitting of
both teams.
Following is the score in detail Of
the Rocky Ford game:

to score If they had run the bases
as they should. Poor coaching on
the base lines was responsible for
some OF the base running. An ex-
ample of the base running is well
shown by one case, when Mervin
Coover hit to centerfield for two
bases and made second easily, one
of the Lamar boys who was on
second only made third on the hit.
Prof. Thompson of La Junta who
is the coach for the La Junta team,
admits that Lamar out played his
team in every department Of the
game except base running.
Considering the raw material of
which the Lamar team is composed,
the team made fine showing. and
played the La Junta team the best
game that has been there this year.
and that team is made up of bunch
of fourth year players. Five of their
men graduate this year.
Next year the Lamar boys should
get out for good hard work and IT.

strong La Junta team, which has not
suffered defeat this year. The
boys started right in to win and
made a score in the first, but after
that on account of poor base running
they failed to score again.
Again the loss of the game was
due to errors by the Lamar boys,
however neither side scored an earn
ed rum The Lamar boys got total
of eight singles off Buckley while the
La Junta boys were lucky to get 3
off the Lamar twirler. Fred Mourn
ing who caught for Lamar deserves
a great deal of credit for the game
he caught and while the boys of La
Junta are noted for their good base
running they only stole two bases on
the Lamar back stop.
While the loss of the game was
due directly to the Lamar boys er-
yors. they had at least seven chances

SHALL LAMAR HAVE THE NEW
2oTH CENTURY BUSi-
NESS COLLEGE.
Facts concerning This Business COL
Iese Company and What IT
Means To Lamar.

The question which has been
creating quite a stir among the citi-
zens of Lamar and Prowers County
during the past week is. Shall La
mar have the contemplated new bus
mess college? The question has
been solved and Lamar draws the
lucky number for the Arkansas Val
ley.
Prof. C. C. Miller. President of the
Twentieth Century Business College
Company, with headquarter schools
at Colorado Springs and Pueblo. this
week made a proposition to the bus
mess men OF Lamar to subscribe fiji
.y rt5ap scholarships at half price
($25.O0), and he we-r' insure that
the branch school for the Arkansas
Valley be located at Lamar. 1t is
known that both La Junta and Las
Animas were after this school.
The citizens and business men of
Lamar and surrounding country are
rapidly subscribing the required fiji
ty scholarships, at $500 After these
are subscribed, the price of tuition
will again retain its normal figure
of $50. for each scholarship, We
print below a list of the scholarships
which have been subscribed during
the past two days. As 1t is expect
ed that the fiftycharter memberships
will be taken up within a week, we
hope to be able toprint the complet-
ed list of charter members in next
weeks issue. Those sending in in
quiries should address MIR. C. C.

Mr.. Miller states that his company

claimed to be one third faster and
more accurate than the old systems,
and is so simple that it can be mas
tered in from two to three months,
whereas the old systems require
about a year. In a talk to a gather
ing of business menlast week, Prof.
Miller stated it would be his policy
to put in schools in representative
parts of the West, and that each
of these schools would draw students

FLUSHING, l.. Il, May 6.-That
Capt. Peter c. Hams. Jr., was suffer-
ing from an impulsive mania when he
killed William z. Annis is the claim
of the captains counsel. This was
made clear by the examination OF DR..
l.. Samuel Monsoon, who resumed the
stand under cross examination when
court convened this morning. Mon
son explained on his direct examine
ton that Capt. Hams developed ma.
MAC Oppressive insanity on May 81,
1908. after the alleged confession OF
his wife He said that the captain de-
veloped impulsive insanity as symp-
tom of the maniac Oppressive when
he heard the name "Annis" on the
float. The maniacal outburst lasted
from then until he fired the last shot
into the body of Annis. Immediately
after the shooting he relapsed into a
state of melancholia, which, the de-
Tense is careful to emphasize as cur
able.
1t appears from the cross-examina-
ton of DR.. Monsoon that the state will
attempt to show that Capt. Hams suf
ferred from circular insanity, which is
incurable. On the point, whether the
captain was In state OF Oppressive cur
able insanity or incurable circular in
sanity, a fight will be waged by the
alienists.
