Sam Nicholson

On last Thursday Sam Nicholson
and party, who are making a tour of
the state by auto, was in Lamar and
on his return from Holly and Granada
stopped here again. Mr.. Nicholson is
one of the candidates designated to
run at the primaries for the republi-
can nomination for governor, receiv-
ing the high vote in the state assem-
bly,. He is a man that gives one con-
fidence in his ability and integrity on
first acquaintance, and these feelings
grow the longer you know him. He
came to the state in 1882 without any
thing but railroad fare to Pueblo,
walked to Trinidad and got job in
the coal mines, worked a number of
years as a miner, proving his effici-
ency by winning the state champion
ship one year in the drilling contest,
and afterwards became one of the
leading owners of metalliferous mines
in the state. He has invested thous-
ands Of dollars in the development of
the Arkansas valley and is therefore
friendly to this section. Like the 9TH
err candidates for the republican NOM
nation he commands the respect of
all citizens who favor the enforcement
of the laws. II elected he will be gov
ernor in the fullest sense of the word,
and there will be no need of calling
on Washington for help to enforce
our laws.

Two Buttes Is, Feds 5

The game Sunday afternoon at
Park between the Lamar
Feds and the Two Buttes nine was a
good exhibition during six of the nine
innings. While the regular Fed pitch
er, Byrnes, was in the box the Two
Buttes boys could do very little, but
they fattened up their batting aver
ages pretty rapidly off of the substi-
tute pitcher, Steele. 1t was a lively
hitting game for awhile and Two
Buttes won by score of Is to 5.

Scientific Farming Pays

One Of the handsomest displays that
will be shown at the Prowers county
fair next week will be obtained from
the John Robertson farm, which is 80
miles south Of Holly in the dry land
section. This is the second year for
Mr.. Robertson in this section Of Colo
RADIO. He has planted this year sixty
eight acres of milo maize, Egyptian
wheat, broom corn and various other
crops that can be grown on the dry
land.
These crops are all in the finest
condition. Much Of the crop is ma
tured. Mr.. Robertson is one Of sew
eral who have recently settled in the
Holly section and who are making a
success of farming.
In addition to the fields, he has
the finest garden to be seen in eastern
Colorado. Onions, beets, tomatoes,
celery, carrots, potatoes, etc., all of
these vegetables produced well and
are in fine condition. Watermelons
and cantaloupes, the finest that can
be grown anywhere may be found on
this mans farm.
Mr.. Robertson deserves much credit

FAIR OPENS
Fourteenth Annual PrOwers County
Fair Will Be the Best Ever

The big fair is now open and in full
swing. The displays have been COM
ing in better than ever before in the
history of the association and it prom
ises to apply to all the departments.
Miss Stinson and her machine arrived
Tuesday and from all reports of her
work in other places Lamar will see
some air stunts that have never been
equalled in southern Colorado.
The street carnival failed to come
owing to their inability to make sat
isfactory arrangements at the other
towns along the valley. The largest
and classiest line Of horses, both har-
ness and running, ever brought to
the valley make the speed program
the most promising ever offered here.
Several of the best strings of relay
ponies in the west are going to make
the relay races more exciting than
ever.
The town at night is one blaze Of
light and mirth on Main street and
everything promises q most delight
full gala week if only the weather man
is good.

Believing that school patrons would
be interested in an accurate summary
of the high school athletic expense,
Superintendent Momyer has prepared
the following data from the accounts
of the treasurer of the association.
All the accounts kept by the treasurer
are fully itemized and are open at
any time for inspection by any one
interested. A number of false state
ments are being circulated, possibly
because of lack of accurate inform
alton, and the published accounts
should correct this.
Each year pledges are taken from
bushes men, high school faculty and
students for the purpose of paying
any deficit that may occur. The
amount raised each year in this way
varies from $3.50 to $500 and usually
leaves at the close of the year a def
cit still to be paid varying from $50
to 5000. This final deficit has usually
been paid by running stands at fourth
of July celebrations, county fair, etc.
In 1912 the high school had large
deficit to face and had stand at the
fair ground, including grandstand and
bleacher privileges, but still failed to
pay out, although the students did
well with the fair concessions.
This year, a deficit of about the
same proportions faces the athletic
association and Mr.. Maxwell has
again granted a stand privilege and
grand stand and bleacher privilege to
the high school and every effort will
be made to start the new year with
something to the credit of the associa-
ton.
The athletics have never been self
supporting and will always be neces-
sary to ask pledge either from the
business men or from public funds.
The writer believes that pledge of
$3.50 per year from public funds as
is given in other places would be
preferable to solicitation of business
men for larger amounts, as this would
place definite limit upon the ex-
penditures and with care as to the ex-
penditures would make the athletics
self-supporting.
