Fort Lyon 5. Lamar o

Last Sunday the Lamar Milk Maids
went down to defeat before the great
pitching of Renell, the Forts star
twirler. who allowed the local team on
ly two measley hits during the nine
sessions, only 2e men facing him.
Fred Littler pitched a steady game
and despite the fact that Fort Lyon
made fourteen hits would have held
them down to one or two runs but for
seven boobies by the Lamar team.
The sailors pulled some poor base
running on several occasions. In one
inning they secured single, double
and triple but did not score in that
inning. The Lamar team presented
a new lineup, Grady being at first,
Lomasney at third, Clark at second,
and Lindner in the outfeld. Pate at
short played a star game, accepting
eight chances without a bobble, and
getting one of the two hits garnered
by Lamar. Lindner got the other.
While Lamar was not able to get on
the bases, the game was an interest
ing one from the spectators view
point, and was filed with brilliant
plays at times. The box score fol-
lows:

Still They Come

Philip B. Carter Of Newton, Mass,
who was one Of the organizers Of the
progressive party in Massachusetts,
and who for the last three years has
served as member of the state COM
mittee, as member Of finance COM
mittee, as treasurer of the 18th con-
gressional committee, and later still
as the treasurer Of the financial aud
iting committee, has returned to the
republican fold. Mr.. Carter made his
purpose known through a letter to a
republican friend. My reasons for
severing relations with the progressive
organization at this time is twofold"
he wrote.
First Of all, it is apparent that the
progressive party is no longer held in
respect by the vast majority of the
voters in this state. My second rea-
son for leaving the party at this time
is my conviction that this is two
party country. / doubt if any third
party can ever survive. In the future
/ look to lineup of the radicals on
the one hand and the conservatives on
the other.
There is no chance to accomplish
anything by continuing to act as an
assistant democrat Should l be
asked by my old republican friends
why l did not join the democratic
party, in view of that fact that their
platform more nearly resembles the
progressive platform, I would reply
that i am not joining them, because
the democratic party is at heart more
reactionary."

Bent County Fair

The fair season in the Arkansas
valley opened this week with the Bent
County Fair at Las Animas. The Bent
county people had prepared a fine line
of displays and splendid speed pro-
gram, but for the first time in years
the weather man failed to smile on
them. Rain has been interfering with
the program to more or less extent
each day, and the management has de-
cided to continue the fair over until
Saturday in order to make up some
of the races postponed. A large crowd
from Lamar and vicinity have attend
ed and report that Las Animas and
Bent county are doing themselves
proud in spite of the weather man.
They are making all visitors welcome
and seeing that all have a good time.

Our Job

Mexico is our turbulent neighbor,
not Brazi's, Chile's or Argentina's.
For all South America is concerned,
the scene of devastation and brigan-
dage might as well be in Armenia. 1t
is our border that is crossed by rowing
bands of Mexicans, our border towns
are the ones shot up in Mexican bat
ties, it is the property of our citizens
which is destroyed in Mexico, and it
is the lives Of our citizens that are
taken.
Great Britain, Germany, France and
even China have had more trouble
with Mexico than any of the Latin
American states which now are ask
ed to help US determine q policy for
the conduct of affairs. 1t is bit of
ineffective sentimentalism to consult
Latin American at all about this mat
ter.
1t will be Sinking a responsibility
To refuse to meet our own problems.
An international posse is not needed.
We should be more fortunate than we
need expect to be If we did not have
more trouble with our Latin American
aids than with the Mexicans them
selves. Our national administration
has an idealistic tendency to foreclose
the future. 1t is idealistic but dan
gerous.-Chieago Tribune.

commodations and information Of all
kinds are being received at the office
of the fair association. Letters from
auto owners residing in neighboring
and distant states asking about the
parking arrangements which are being

tons are that the parking plan will be
one Of the biggest drawing cards for
overland visitors.
Arrangements have been made with
the city council to turn the city parks
and one or two side streets over to
auto owners, and these districts will
be turned into well regulated parking
places for automobiles. In previous
years the auto owner has been forced
to shift for himself to find parking
place and as result but few owners
came to the fair for more than one
day. This year every effort will be
made to take care Of the visitors and
