Work and GOudy

Yesterday Lamar was visited by
two leading republican candidates,
DR.. Work and Frank C. Goudy. Both
are leaders of high standing in the
party and men of characted and abil-
ity whose nominations and election
would bring confidence and general
good feeling once more to all of the
great industries of the state. Under
present conditions Colorado is at a
standstill and the election of such
men as DR.. Work and Goudy will re-
vive hope in all lines and encourage
capital to new development work.

There will be 80 days in September,
but there won't be war news every
day. The European censors are very
sparing of war news. They say that
is one thing they can be saving with,
anyway. The moon will be full on
the 4th. The one hope of peace will
come on the 21st, when the September
equinox occurs. If this doesn't make
any of the European kings feel his
throne slipping under him the war will
go right on until the winter solstice.
The 22d will be the first day of fall
Then sweet October shall return
With poesy to guide her.
'r" eell forget the worlds concern

Lamar Wins Season Series from
Rocky Ford Despite Latter's Ad-
vantage for Championship


About seventy-five Lamarites ac-
companied by the band went to Rocky
Ford last Sunday to play the final
two games of the league series be-
tween these two teams. Lamar took
the first game and with it the series
for the year between the two teams as
it made their record stand four won
out of seven games. Whatever the
outcome of the league race Rocky
Ford, if it should win the champion
ship, will have to admit the Lamar
team could beat them.
In the first game after Gordon,
Lamar's southpaw pitcher, had al
lowed several runs, Fred Littler went
into the box and held Rocky Ford,
making Jawn ]. jackson, White Sox
recruit, look like water boy. The
Lamar boys by good hitting and ].
J.'s wildness won the game by one
of their customary rallies and garri-
son finishes in the ninth. Mayfield
was back in the game and played a
fine game at short. Wallace played
q star game at first and Coleman
caught q fine game. The score was
5to 4.
The second game started out with
Lamar leading and by the first half
Of the fifth it stood to l in their
favor. In Rocky Ford's half Of this
inning there was a combination of
hits and bad errors that netted Rocky
Ford unearned runs and gave them
the game. Both Gordon and Littler
pitched splendid ball in this game
and should have won it easily. Dun
lap for Rocky Ford also pitched a
fine game and lasted until the ninth
inning when the Lamar boys started
another rally which promised to again
carry off the game. Dunlap was pull
ed and Jackson rushed to the rescue.
As it was getting dark Jackson's
speed proved too much for the boys
as they could not see the ball and
the game closed with the score z to
8 in favor of Rocky Ford.
The box score Of the two games
follows as well as the La Junta-Las
Animas game:

PLOT OF MONOPOLY
New York Spectators Blamed For
High Price of Sugar

DlStf1ct AttOrney STOpScy VI bfooh
lyn, Saturday, before Justice Bene-
dict, sitting as committing magis-
trate, presented an afndavit charging
that he had information that conspir-
ators and unlawful combinations had
been effected to control the price and
monopolize the supply and distribu-
ton of food stuffs in local markets.
Witnesses examined gave details of
arbitrary increases in prices that
prove the rapacious dealers have TAX
en- advantage Of the war scare to in
crease prices enormously.
Testimony given showed that retail
ers and wholesale men increased the
price of sugar rs to 80 per cent since
July Is. Mr.. Cropsey is proceeding
under the Donnelly law and is conf
dent that he will be able to obtain
indictments.
Darwin ]. Meserole, representative
of sugar refiners, said the refiners
have been delivering sugar on con-
tract to dealers at less than $5 per
100 pounds. He blamed spectators
for the increased demand and the con-
'sequent high prices.
William Gardner testified that the
raw Cuban sugar crop was large this
year and sold at low prices. He said
raw sugar sold for 71a cents a pound
Friday as against 4.4O cents a pound
a year ago. He said raw reached the
low price in years few weeks ago,
and that all the refiners had large
stocks on hand. He declared emphat-
ically that there is no shortage.
He also said that the Federal COM
pany recently withdrew prices and
that it subsequently, announced the
same prices as were given by the
American, National, Arbuckle and
Warner companies. The rate of ad-
vance was; May %, 4.2O; July 2,
4.3O; July 16, 4.4O; July 80, 4.4O;
August 6, 5.25; August 13, 7.5O; Aug
ust 20, 7.50.
Ferdinand Jurgens of the wholesale
grocery firm of w. B. A. Jurgens tes-
titled that he had bought sugar at
$40 and S4.30 hundred and now is
selling at S7.20.
Patrick O'Brien, manager of the
Roulston stores, testified that they
had increased the price of sugar from
is cents for three and one-half pounds
to % cents. This was done to pro-
tect their stock. He said they made
nothing on sugar bought at the low
lprice, but found smaller dealers were
buying and were forced to increase
| the price to protect stock.

Lamar now has three games to
play with La Junta and must win all
three to have much show for the PEN
nant. If they do this and Rocky Ford
loses one to Las Animas it will be a
tie and will have to be played off be-
tween the Rocky Ford and Lamar
teams.
La Junta will be here Sunday for
two games and all Lamar fans should
turn out and give the boys all the
encouragement possible. Remember
even If they lose the championship,
they have had the satisfaction of
beating the champions to FRAGILE
and only lost because the other teams
layed down to Rocky Ford.

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Aug. 29.-For the first
year of President Wilson's admins
tration his wish and word were the
rule and law of his party. Things are
not going that way now. Congress-
man Hammond, democrat with the
prestige of three successful elections
in republican district in Minnesota
and with all the patronage of the
president behind him, was nominated
for governor by less than thousand
majority over the weakest kind of
candidate, the purpose of whose can
didacy was a mere protest against the
administration.
Texas Against Wilson
Texas was aother Wilson strong
hold. Texas is the home of Post
master General Burleson, the presi-
dents most powerful patronage dis
penser. All the power Of the admin
istration directed by Mr.. Burleson at
Washington and officered on Texas
soil by Chairman Henry to whom
Mr.. Wilson himself ascribed credit
for the great part of his success at
Baltimore, were used to nominate Ball
of Houston as governor. The Texans
nominated Balls rival, Ferguson, by
majority of 10000.
Bryan Loses in Nebraska
But here is a better one. William
Jennings Bryan's own state has turn
ed against him. The issue on which
Bryan was defeated was President
Wilson's appointment of~Thomas d.
Jones, dummy" director of the Inter
national Harvester company, as pres
ident of the new banking and currency
board. Jones was successfully op-
posed by United States Senator
Hitchcock, Nebraska democrat. The
Nebraska state convention was com
ing on and it was greatly important
that the peerless leader be indorsed
in his own state, SO orders were is
sued to Charles Bryan, who always
executes the will of his brother to
prevent the endorsement of Senator
Hitchcock in the Jones matter at all
hazards.
CndTleS bryan Bol ouss. but aAeSi
strenuous efforts, all he could do was
to head off an endorsement of Hitch
cock at Lincoln. All the other coun-
ties in the state rallied to Hitchcock's
support and in spite of Bryan in
dorsed Hitchcock's successful oppo-
sition to Mr.. Wilson's dummy" di-
rector The issue was made clear that
the endorsement of Hitchcock was a
slap right in the face for the Wilson
administration, and it looks like Bry
an and the administration took the
slap.
The action in Nebraska is regarded
as of great political Importance be-
cause it was the Peerless Leaders
state whose detection led by Bryan
at Baltimore, paved the way for Will
sons nomination. Nebraska has been
divided in it's allegiance between Bry-
an and Wilsonon the one hand, and
Senator Hitchcock on the other. Hitch
cock supported Champ Clark. In view
Of the fight that Mr.. Clark will make
on Wilson in 1916, developments in
Bryan's state are regarded as highly
significant.

And men around him shout,
But no one stopped to tel him
What it was all about
He would have pressed the question.
But 10! he heard q drum,
And following it dimly,
He came to Kingdom Come.
He ventured to the gateway,
Whence Peter peered without,
But all the question asked him
Was what was it about"
The angels focked about him,
Their faces all aglow.
"a Corporal" they shouted,
"He certainly will know!"
He heard seraph singing,
And caught the songs Of elves,
Pm sorry, folks" he answered,
eve never knew oRrselves."
September was the seventh month
in the Roman year, and gets its name
from the Latin Septem (seven.) When
Germanicus had cleaned up the rest
of Europe, he turned his attention to
Rome, which had them backed out of
Triple Alliance. The Roman army
was for the most part in grand opera,
and before it could get home German
icus had bagged the country and es-
tablished himself as the head of an
empire which extended from the Bal
tic seat to the Mediterranean, Every
thing went smoothly for while. The
Belgae, who had jumped Germanicus
when he marched through their coun-
try to get at the Gauls, were busted;
the Helvetians had not yet discovered
what hit them, and the Triple En-
tente was still in the repair shop. Ger
manicus thought that SO great name
as his own ought not to perish, SO he
followed the example or julius and
Augustus Caesar and inserted it in the
calendar. Probably nothing would
have come of this had he exercised a
little discretion, but when he an
nounced that September would there
after be known as the month of Ger
manicus, he started something that
with all his military genius and his
tremendous resources he could not
stop. The name of September was not
only dear to the civilized world, which
had incorporated it in great many
beautiful poems and tender songs, but
organized labor saw in the imperial
edict a ruse to do away with Labor
day, which came on the first Monday.
This settled it, and when Germanicus
was found dead in bed with bloody
sign, "Votes for womenw pinned to
the bedpost, the name of September
was restored and that of Gerrnanicus
was everywhere expunged. Since then
no one has cared to tamper with the
original name in any way, and it
comes to us through the centuries
without change in single letter.
The hosts of autumn shall advance
Upon the doodlebugs and flies,
And what is happening in France
Shall happen right before our eyes.
The migrant scouting down the sky
Shall mark the fortress and the
town,
The hunter with watchful eye
Shall do his best to bring him down,
The warlike chigger shall succumb
To foemen he has long defied,
The pheasant rolling on his drum
Shall keep the conquerers in stride,
The oyster and the punkin pie

VI mingled happiness ana IrlSnt.
The startled hired man will bawl for
thicker armor on his bed and dying
army worms recall how valiantly they
fought and bled. The crowd around the
soda fount shall down a stimulant and
fly, the winds of Boreal shall mount
their whistling chargers in the sky,
the frog shall throw intrenchments up
and dig safe place in the mud, the
frost shall stalk the buttercup and
make the morning glory scud, the su-
mach with its war paint on shall hole
the summit of the hill, the quail shal
terrify the dawn with uttering a MAJ
tial trill, the summer girl shall break
the vows she made with 20 men to
wed, and the soft peace velvet on the
cows shall turn a military red.
Ye hosts of happiness to be, press
on till we shall hail the blest. We
long from Summer to be free that
have season been oppressed. The
tyrant sun shall be subdued, and all
his counselors resign; the eye of ven
geance is glued upon him all along
the line A taste of Paradise awaits
beyond the desert and the dust, and
through those dim but grateful gates
we shall go joyously or bust. We've
had our fill of Palm Beach suits, of
mad dog scares and canvass pants;
the bliss that Autumn constitutes is
that for which our fancies dance. The
Kaiser's men may kill the Cars, the
British navy may explode; the Serbs
may smoke their bad cigars within
the Emperor's abode. The Turks may
win, it matters not; the Hollanders
may lick them all; or Greece subsist
on picked Scot, we'll gain the pleas
antries of Fall.
Beyond the borderland Of bliss
We there shall see the harvest moon
And thinking of that time and this
And thank our stars for such a
boon.
The filmy haze that fills the skies
Shall render beautiful the days,
The beauty spread before our eyes
Shall lend enchantment to our ways.
The cider press shall groan and whine
Its woes upon the ears Of men,
The wild goose going down the line
Shall sound its Klaxon now and
then,
The poets song shall be about
Those things which all of US have
felt,
And plain suspenders shall step out
And snatch the trousers from the
belt.
September will give us a very good
idea of why our forbears left Europe,
some of them suddenly. 1t is probably
the best place in the world to be from.
Coming direct from the warlike con-
tinent, our forbears had little diff
Guilty taking this one away from the
Indians, and they established here
what was designed to be a permanent
refuge from just what is going on
over there now. A good deal has
been said of our forbears in patriot
ic and military way, but little has
been said of them mentally. Now is a
good time to consider whether their
heads were mere loafing places for
wigs. The war will continue through
out September, and probably by the
oad of tho month oil tho countries

At any rate, the gentle art
Of peace has sadly gone to pot,
And rests in peace, the world apart,
Unless awakened by shot.

To play while armament was made,
While kings grew powerful and rich,
And keels of battleships were laid.
A man, we find, is much the same
Today as when the world was new;
A tailor cannot make him tame,
Nor any course he may pursue.
He always killed his fellow man
In season, just like ducks and geese
And when the time comes ties can
On all such theories as peace.

 paid the field of Alfalfa growing on Stevens Farm. E.
 l The afternoon session commenced by au address by President Duffy who aroused considerable interest in his ad- dress regarding "The Production of Milk" He said in part: " From my point of view it is more important that each gallon of milk be sold at profit than that we produce more milk at loss. The great question for us to consider is How can we produce milk at a profit?' My answer is that it is not an easy prob lem to solve and that many factors enter into it. First we should breed better dairy COWS. Imean COWS of a high type, We should know what each COW IS pro ducing and keep careful record. We can breed cattle here in Connecticut as good as can be produced anywhere. In fact the champion COW of the world was bred here. There are four great breeds. Select the one you like and boost for it, and don't disgrace the breed. -. Know your breed and take the paper that repre- sents it. Second. feed your COWS well l believe you ought to give COW all she will eat. You will notice that all these | nigh records are made by continuous feeding. The first thing in the morning and the last at night is feeding. If you can't afford to feed a COW we'll you can't afford to own one. The COW pays better than any other animal in the world. Third, be sure you have good ventilation. Air is the cheapest thing in the world. yet some farmers are stingy about it. Give them plenty of sunshine. Fourth market your product at the best advan- tage. Cooperation is the word. The producer is not getting a far price for his milk. We must get it. How? Bet ter laws. Work for state representatives that will represent the farmers at Hart ford, this will make possible the shipping of our milk at the same terms the mo- nopoly enjoy."t He urged every milk producer to secure Henry on Feeding and Van Pelt's book on Selecting and Ju6 ging the Dairy Cow.
 Prof. 0. D. Jarvis, State Leader in Field Studies and Demonstrations fol. lowed with 8 talk of a very practical na- ture on the Benefits of Spraying and How to Prune the Apple Tree, after which he asked the audience to come with him to the orchard where he would explain and demonstrate the work of pruning following this he gave dem- onstration with both hand aud power sprayers and explained why and how it should be done.
