in the war. But they must take il at
their own risk. ! will accept no excuse
for failure. An officer who steps out
side his orders or disobeys his orders
and is successful shall be rewarded If
ne does not succeed he shall be pun

One consequence is that the French
officer is the most initiative soldier on
earth Bat he moves with discretion.
1t isn't that his courage is tempered
by the fear of getting a little round
bullet hole through him. That thought
does not seem to occur to many OF the
men on either side. He is discreet be :

New Store

On Friday afternoon and evening of
this week will be the informal open
ing of Dummies and 10 cent store,
at 107 South Main street.
There will be nothing sold Friday
afternoon or evening and the store
will be thrown open so the people of
Lamar and vicinity can inspect the
new merchandise and get acquainted
with the management.
Those who have had a chance to see
the store this week say it is as COM
plete and up-to-date as the 5 and 10
cent stores of the larger cities, and
the business is handled by the same
methods as those used by the syndi-
cate or chain stores.
There will be a few articles carried
in the new store that will sell for more
than ten cents as is usually done in
the smaller cities, but this class of
stores are called five and ten cent
stores because practically ninety per
cent of the merchandise they handle
retails for five and ten cents.

1t was one of the finest and biggest
social events ever given here and the

expense to make it attractive and
pleasant for their many guests. The
building was handsomely decorated
with the national colors, and Hager-

music for the dancers. There were
several hundred guests who took part
in the dancing and refreshments and
all pronounce Mr.. Sunday and his

RELIEF COMMITTEE
Large Amount of Work Being Done
and Everybody's Help Is Needed

The general relief committee fol-

ing citizens:
Mayor C. Floyd Cook for the city
council, Commissioner Fred Williams
for the county board, DR.. N. NJ. Bur
nett for Commercial Club, Charles
Wooden for Yambas and Fred Kelsey
for business men.
This committee is working actively
for the relief of the victims and needs
and desires the help of the entire
community. Many of the victims have
lost everything, homes destroyed and
household effects broken up and blown
away, crops destroyed, many abso-
lutely without money and some suf-
fering from severe injuries. All the
injured are reported improving at
this time, but many are still in bad
shape.
Everything that the people can
spare will be very acceptable and help

committee and they will be sent for.
The response has been liberal but the
demand is also great and urgent.
Chas. Wooden is the treasurer Of
the committee and cash donations
should be paid to him. Over five hun
bred dollars has already been sub
scribed, and more will be needed be-
fore the work is completed.

CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES
A Good Program and People Pledge
Tickets Enough to Insure An
other Seasons Entertain
ment

On Sunday evening the Chautauqua
for 1915 at Lamar closed and the
big tent was removed. Immediately
the rain stopped and it looks like real
summer weather has set in. The pro-
grams for this year were highly
pleasing to the patrons and were well
maintained to the last. On last Fri
day afternoon and evening was the big
event, being the appearance of the
Thaviu band and the European grand
opera singers. 1t was the highest
class entertainment ever given in La
mar and was so greatly appreciated
that Prof Momyer and Rev Kelly
took advantage of the enthusiasm
created to sell 662 season tickets for
next years chautauqua, thus insCriag
another program in 1916. As each Of
the other towns in the valley have sold
enough also to make their commit EOS
safe in signing the guarantee. it
means a better program thar ever
before.
This years list Of ptt"tctions in
Il. q so many good entertainers HAT
all deserved special mention, the two
attracting most attention were the
band and Senator Gore, both filing
the tent to overlooking All the pro
grams were good, however, and the
public generally was perfectly salts
fed.

State Fair Exhibit

Secretary ]. l.. Beaman of the Pu-'
eblo State Fair was down this week
and appeared before the board of
county commissioners to secure an ap-
preparation for an exhibit from Prov
ers county at the State Fair. The
commissioners we understand agreed
to appropriate 5000 and will soon ap-
point manager to take charge. Now
that the wheat is being harvested our
farmers with good stands of grain
should not wait for the new man to be
appointed, but should gather bundle
of their choice heads of grain and save
for this exhibit. This can be done
right now with better results than
after awhile. There are hundreds of
record breaking crops Of wheat in this
vicinity and display can be taken at
this time which would take the coun-
ty prize and the individual prizes in
any display anywhere. 1t is just a
question of whether the farmers with
the best crops will take the trouble.
There is no reason why Prowers coun-
ty should not have the state cham
pionship this year on wheat, oats, bar
ley and nearly everything else.

Celebrating the Fourth

There was no celebration of the
Fourth at Lamar this year and many
of our people took in the various eel
ebrations from Saturday to Monday
at neighboring towns. Bristol held a
big celebration on the Bird, and Holly,
Wiley and Two Buttes the 9Th. Some
of our people also went to the Fort
Lyon picnic at the reservoir and about
forty of the fans went to Fort Lyon
and La Junta on Sunday and Monday
to see the ball team play its three
game series.
The band and largest crowd of La
marites went out to Wiley to attend
the big blowout there. A crowd of
nearly 5000 was present from all
around the country. There were 235
autos present when the racing pro-
gram started and everybody had a
big time. The enterprising citizens of
Wiley spared no expense and trouble
to give the people big celebration
and royal good time, and they were
successful beyond anybody's expecta-
tons
