Although the date is not yet defi-
nitely fixed it is fixed fact that La
mar people can eat their Thanksgiving
dinner with the satisfaction of know
ing that they are not to be deprived
of the biggest treat of the year. About
that time the Yamba Minstrels will
be here with the biggest, most stu
pendous, startling and sensational ex-
hibition of spectacular minstrelsy
ever staged west of the Atlantic
ocean. Manager Wooden while in the
east recently purchased exclusive
western rights in over one hundred
of the latest song hits, and also pro-
cured costumes and scenic effects to
stage this great production. Several
of the country's greatest joke artists
are submitting their most recent pro-
auctions for his approval and the
music for the occasion will be unsur-
passed by anything ever offered by
grand opera or even Lew Dockstader.
Several end men, artists of the first
magnitude, have been added to the
caste, and there will be some of the
best dancing ever exhibited in this
section. New voices of the most APP
proved quality have been added to the
chorus. A special feature of great
merit is the quartets which are now
rehearsing some Of the new songs.
The southern scenic elects which will
be used in connection with some of
the darby songs are alone worth the
price Of admission. You can't afford

Interesting Lecture

The Baptist church last Sunday
evening was crowded to hear the lee
ture given by Hon. C. C. Goodale on
the Hawaiian islands. Mr.. Goodale
spent several weeks in the islands
this summer and was so pleased with
the climate that he says he woul
move there il he could get his friends
to go also. He handled his subject
as he always does in a most enter
tanning and Illuminating manner
showing the class of people who in
habit the islands, their most wonder
full resources, and the great scenic
attractions. All who attended enjoy
ed rare treat.

II Can't Be Done

The second number of the lecture
course was given at the high school
auditorium last Thursday evening tc
crowded house. John Merit Driver
lectured for three hours on conditions
in the war zone of Eupore and the
aims Of the countries engaged. IT
was very interesting and instructive,
but Mr.. Driver spoilt some of the eff
feet Of his statements by his predie-
ton that England would have the
Dardanelles by November 25th. We
know of no other public or private
man who would dare make any such
prediction at this time. If any such
miracle should happen Mr.. Driver
would gain an unsurpassed military
reputation.

Impressed by Dairy Farming

Through the courtesy of C. T.
Kaufman, the agricultural editor had
the pleasure of taking a three days
trip through the valley eastward to
Lamar and northeast to the Missouri
Pacific to within a few miles of the
state line. We found the crops, both
those raised under irrigation, and
those grown under the dry farming
system, looking splendid The beets
were being plowed out and everywhere
appeared to be returning big yields.
Hundreds of stacks of alfalfa were in
evidence and there were also immense

flocks of sheep ready to dispose of it
in the most profitable manner.
We were also much impressed with
the large number Of silos recently
erected, particularly in the vicinity of
Lamar, where the milk condensery
is located. The dairy business in that
section is evidently in a furnishing
condition. One farm had three silos of
100 tons capacity each. Another note
worthy fact that practically all of the
hay there is retained for home con-
sumption, very little being shipped
out. Judging by the enormous number
of sheep in evidence all along the line
the hay will be needed before the win
ter is over We regretted very much
that our time did not permit visit
to the Lamar condensery.-La Junta

Big Fish Haul

The L. NJ. Appel Fish Co., one of
Lamar's most recent business addi-
tions, has been enjoying a constantly
increasing business but has been bad
ly handicapped owing to inability to
catch the fish fast enough to supply
their trade. However, this handicap
has now been overcome. Z. 4. Pratt,
the manager, last week received IA
large new 1900 foot seine, which he
is now using at the reservoirs. He
made the first trial at the Queen res
ervoir on Monday and his first catch
amounted to four hundred pounds. He
expects to have no trouble hereafter
III supplying all the fish the markets
of this section need. The supply in
the lakes is inexhaustible, and the
facilities will now be equal to all de-
mands.

The Lamar high school football
team went to La Junta on last Sat
urday and met the team at that place.
1t was a hard game and well played.
La Junta made one touchdown in the
first minute of play and another at the
last, but the larger part of the game
was played without either side maxi
ing much Roadway. Goals were kick
ed from each touchdown and the final
score was Ii to in favor of La jun
ia. A game will be played at Asso-
citation Park on Saturday this week
between the Rocky Ford and Lamar
teams. If Rocky Ford wins there
will be tie for the championship be-
tween Las Animas and Rocky Ford,
and Lamar will be in fourth place.
If Lamar wins she will be tied for
third place and Las Animas will be
the champion. 1t will be hard fought
game. Turn out and help the boys

THE. ALABAMA
IN GREAT DANGER
Fire Breaks Out on Battleship
Close 10 Magazine.
MANY ABOARD At TIME
Hours Hard Work Required To
Extinguish the Fire-calIers
Quickly Hustled
Ashore.

Philadelphia.-Fiv hundred visitors
were aboard the battleship Alabama,
flagship of Rear-Admiral Helm, com.
mander Of the reserve feet, at League
Island Sunday afternoon, when fire
was discovered under the forward tur-
ret of 13-inch guns and dangerously
close to the magazines.
Immediately the reverberant sound
of an alarm gong began booming
through the big craft, whereat the
crew divided itself, without undue ex-
element, into two parts, one-half
fighting the flames and the other
hustling the outsiders down the gang
plank.
Fortunately (for there was enough
gunpowder aboard the ship to blow
her into smithereens) the fire was dis
covered by jack tar of the starboard
watch before it had gained much
Roadway. However, it took an hour
of stiff work on the part of the sailors
to subdue the flames, which at one
time were SO threatening that squad
of men were ordered to stand by and
be ready to food the magazines.
In an incredibly short time every
body but the crew were ashore, while
those aboard, tense, perfectly con-
scious of the danger, fought the fire
with a concentration and precision.
Their efforts were directed by Lieut..
w c. McCracken, in command of the
ship.
The smoke at first was so dense
that the exact location of the flames
was difficult to find All the electrical
currents in the vessel were shut or
soon as the the discovery was made,
so that the frefighters would not be IN
danger of receiving shocks. The men
used portable lights, crawling in and
out of the manhole-like openings Of
the turret and working in shifts. @
The Alabama only recently returned
from patrol duty off the Virginia
Capes and her magazines were loaded
to the beam with ammunition. Rear
Admiral Helm was not aboard when
the fire occurred, but upon returning
and learning Of the way the jackies
behaved he was quick to commend
them.
1t is believed the fire started
through a short circuit.

less waste, during which the troops
suffered severely from heat, thirst and
hunger.
The road to Windhoek, capital of
the German territory, was opened by
the occupation of Keetmanshop.
lWindhoek was taken May Is without
opposition on the part of the German
forces. Martial law was proclaimed
throughout the conquered territory.
Reports from London recently have
stated that the surrender of all the
German forces was expected soon.
British military experts have contend
ed that General Botha has conducted
a mastery campaign.
German Southwest Africa is located
on the west coast of Africa, extending
from the Orange River to the Cunene

tween Portuguese West Africa and
Cape Colony, extending eastward to

Chicago. - According to latest fig
ures nearly so persons persisted in the
tornado-like storm. originating in
Western Missouri and sweeping
through portions of Oklahoma, Iowa,
Southern Illinois, indiana and Ohio.
The greatest damage appears to have
been done in and around Cincinnati.
Dispatches from that city say 35 are
known to be dead. The total may go
higher when all the devastated district
is thoroughly searched.
Alarming reports to the effect that
one or more towns in Missouri had
been obliterated were not borne out
by later dispatches. There was great
destruction of property and crops
were beaten into the ground, but the
loss of life was scattered. st. Charles,
No, was the chief sufferer in that
State.
At Bedford, Ind, the storm took the
form of combination of hail, water
spout and tornado, and continued for
an hour. About 10 houses were re-
duced to kindling. The fve-room resi-
dence of Elmer Johnson was lifted and
carried rs feet. johnson, his wife and
four children were all badly injured.
At Indian Springs the home of Clara
Sanders was torn to fragments and
two fve-year-old children, twins. were
killed. The family of Glenn Owens
was preparing to retire when the tor
nado lifted their home and scattered
it over a radius of half a mile. and
three members of the family were bad
ly hurt.
