or all the systems of espionage ev-
er organized, that OF the German war
office is unquestionably the farthest-
reaching and most efficient. On the
heels of the British governments as
surance that the German system of es-
pionage had been effectively broken
in the United Kingdom, numerous
British war vessels were torpedoed,
many sentries were shot, dispatches
containing accurate information, i'm
portant to the enemy were intercept
ed merely by chance, while a Ger
man squadron succeeded in stealing
past patrol boats, navigating unchart-
ed and mined passages, firing on the
Suffolk coast and then escaping. How
some of the information which made
these things possible leaked out, is
known, although the spy has not been
apprehended and is still carrying on
his work.
The Rev Lord William Cecil re-
cites the story of how a British raid
on German squadron in the North
Sea was frustrated. During heated
argument in an alehouse, an English
sailor, championing the prowess of his
navy, declared that he knew positive
ly that dreadnaughts, cruisers, and
torpedo boats were at that moment
pushing ahead under full steam to sur
prise the German boats. Shortly af-
terward the bar was closed for the
night and one of the group, who had
precipitated the argument, mounted
a bicycle, which had brilliant head
light, and struck down a road lead
ing along the coast. After a time he
jumped from the cycle, released the
air from the front tire, and then set
about to mend a "puncture.' In do
ing this he repeatedly passed in front
of the lamp, crossing the patch in
front of the light nowo for just an
instant, now deliberately stopping in

There are many other ways by
which an agent, working ahead of
his army may and does communicate
to it without passing back
the lines. Some of these sys-
tens are employed to inform the ar
tillery, for instance, where its shells
are falling, thus enabling it to get the
proper range of the enemy's positions
Some of the subterfuges are so in

THE SPY AND
HOW HE WORKS

(From Popular Mechanics Magazine)
When the cables carried the news
that Carl Hans Lody, former resi-
dent of Omaha, had been shot as a
spy in the Tower of London, grim
picture of the ugliest, and at the same
time most romantic, side of war was
brought home to Americans.
Shot as spy!' The phrase thrills
veteran and schoolboy alike and heats
the blood of anyone who has spark
venture in his veins. In all the Eng
lish language, there is hardly word
that carries with il such connotation
of contempt as spy" On the other
hand whether in the preparation for
war, or in war itself, there is no more
patriotic or self-sacrificing work, nor
scarcely any of more profound value
to the country which is being served,
than that performed by the much-de-
spised, little-appreciated spy.
The rules of war, relating to spies
are clearly defined and offer no re,
dress, regardless of sex, age, or ma
tionality, to one coming under that,
classification. If a person, whether
man or child, operates secretly within

Bear Fight

A travelling performer with pet
dancing bear ran up against a tough
experience in Lamar last Friday, and
also it came near resulting seriously
for one of our school boys. One of
the would-be night detectives here told
the owner that the bear would have to
be taken out Of the city limits for the
night and made him chain it up in a
barn north OF town. The bear became
hungry and broke loose and started
out TO forage. Several OF the senior
boys, who were returning from hay
rack ride, saw him attempt to enter
the Church residence in the north part
Of town and aroused the family. They
sent for the night marshal and he with
an assistant and numerous following
Of boys succeeded in roping Mr.. Bear
and started down the street. Through
out the whole game the bear had been
good natured and seemed to want to
play and allowed all sorts of familiar
tiles to be taken with him. The shouts
Of the boys and general excitement
seemed at last to anger him though
and he jumped on Fred Myers, one of
che senior boys and threw him down
and scratched him considerably. Night
Marshal Herwig then ordered viii
Kennedy to shoot him, and he killed
the bear after firing several shots. One
of the bullets struck rib and was
deflected and caused severe flesh
wound in the boy underneath. He was
taken to the Lamar hospital and the
bail removed and he is now able to be
around again. McCall's meat market
served bear meat to all who wanted
it for two days. The whole affair was
uncalled for and it was only luck that
prevented a much more serious end
ing.

Drainage District Assured

The vote in the May Valley Drain
age District last Saturday was unani-
nous in favor of the contract made
by the directors with the 7. j. Say
Ter Construction Co. At the same
time the special session of the district
court presided over by Judge McHen-
drie in Lamar was hearing the evil
dence on the bond issue and entered
a decree confirming the same. Thus
the last obstacle has been removed and
this great drainage system is an as
sured fact. Mr.. Sayler had already
succeeded in placing the bonds so that
there will be no delay on that account.
Frank Sayler has been in Delta for
the past two weeks getting the big
dredge ready and will ship it here for
the work. This will be good news for
all interested in the lands there and
also for all interested in the develop
ment of the county. For it is evil
dent that the next problem to be
worked out here is drainage, and now
that it is found that it can be sue
cessfully handled by the district bond
ing system there will be several other
large areas that are now rapidly go
ing to seep formed into districts and
redeemed. This is bound to be- one
of the great factors in our develop
ment. The May Valley district will
redeem nearly three thousand acres
already practically unusable, but will

BACA COUNTY FAIR
Southern County Puts Up Good Dis
play and Splendid Program

Baca county's second annual fair
proved an even bigger success than the
first. There were big crowds each day
and all enjoyed the big outing to the
limit. On the second day between
thirty and forty auto loads Of Lamar
ties went down to help celebrate and
all report a splendid time. The ex-
hibits were line in all lines and
splendid program Of races had been
prepared. The Lamar band furnished
the music all three days and was one
Of the especially enjoyable features.
The trip back to Lamar last Thursday
evening was turned into a Ford dem
onstration, as the long string of those
cars owned by some Of our most Sc
date and conservative citizens sud
denly began a procession around the
nigh priced autos and left the latter
lar in the rear while they cut all
kinds of chunks off Of the previous
running records between Springfield
and Lamar.
The people Of Springfield and Baca
county are to be congratulated on the
splendid showing ,hey have made at
their two fairs and 1t means the event
will now be a permanent feature and
do much to boost that county agricul-
turally.

Millers 10, Mixers III

The employees of Lamar's two big
gest Institutions hooked up in a real
imitation of the national game at As
ISOLATION Park on Sunday afternoon.
This was none of your tame l to 0
affairs but a real red-blooded umpire
batting battle for championship su-
premacy and drew a good crowd which
heartily enjoyed the whole game. 1t
was not settled until the last man was
out in the ninth inning and then the
losers could hardly be convinced it
was time to quit. The men from the
Lamar Milling and Elevator Co. piled
up score of 10, which is said to be
an unlucky number, and certainly was
to the boys who draw Helvetia pay
checks as they were only able to
gather in IL scores. However the lat
ter are unconvinced and willing to
renew the battle any time the weather
permits.

PRowERs COUNTY FAIR
Fifteenth Annual Fair Proves Big
Success in Every Respect but
Weather

The weather this week has not been
fair weather in any respect. 1t has
neither been fair itself or even decent
for that matter for county fair. Elk
cepting for this drawback, which of
course was unforeseen, the fair has
been the biggest success of all.
The displays in all lines have been
far better taken altogether than at
any of the previous annual events. The
agricultural and horticultural displays
far surpass any we have ever had.
Nearly all the towns of the county
sent fine local displays in grains,
grasses and garden truck, which COW
cred one side of the big agricultural
hall.
In the several ladies' departments,
kitchen, pantry, art and flowers there
was a larger and better assortment of
all lines, which made this building a
place Of beauty and a great attraction
for all. The space under the grand
stand was given over to the merchants
and several of the most enterprising
awaited themselves of this splendid
opportunity to reach the thousands of
customers and display their wares.
Several of the garages also had cars
on exhibition.
The stock display also showed i'm
provement in spots although most de-
partments are still badly neglected.
However the two departments most
looked for, holsteins and draft horses,
were very creditable displays. The
holsteins were all fine animals and
some of such high milking qualities
rs to seem almost impossible. There
were three year olds that would pro-
duce almost double their own weight
in milk in a month. The draft horse
division was also far better than ever
before, but still not so large as it
ought to be in this country. In the
other divisions the display was about
as in the past, badly neglected.
The crowd on Tuesday was not large
but on Wednesday in spite of the bad
weather the grand stand was filled to
overlooking and the autos were lined
up all around the west and north sides
OF the track. 1t was one of the big
gest days crowds ever assembled at
the fair The program of races was
well enjoyed as while a number did
not fill up with entries, others were
substituted, and also several exciting
auto and motorcycle races added.
The aviator arrived but his machine
failed to put in its appearance until
Wednesday night, as it got sidetracked
somewhere on the line. 1t was ship
ped out of Chicago Sunday and should
have been here Tuesday morning.
Whether he will be able to fly or not
on the last day is yet undecided.
