Local suffraE Eists expressed emphatic
apprOVal of 'War Brides rs presented
at Keith's last night by ALA Nazimova,
and in addition to greeting the star with
a waving of flags, presented her with a
gigantic basket of flowers Miss Nazt-
nova, after taking numerous curtain
calls, waved her appreciation to the sut-
fragists The thrilling little drama,
which teaches a lesson OF equality for
man and woman, was received with as
much enthusiasm as when presented here
for the first time last week
Quite the extreme in plot and style
was the offering of Matthews. Shayne
and Company, who appeared In Dream
land" The sketch shows the results
which follow the use of too much dope
A dope fend meets Jew In New YORK s
Chinatown and tells him how he can go
to Dreamland on a cloud OF smoke. The
Jew puffs a cigarette and the clouds
carry the smoker and his companion TO
the interior OF the pyramids OF Egypt.
Several pretty mummies come TO life
and enliven the occasion with songs and
dances. The dreamers eventually awake
and find themselves back I'm New York.
The act carries I'm all a cast OF seven
capable performers.
Iightner and Jordan, two dainty girls,
are many years in advance Of the two
girls and a piano" acts. In addition TO
singing songs with real voices, they pre-
sent some remarkably good character
numbers.
"A Night in n Monkey Music Hall"
presented by Maud Rochez, proved to be
a whole show in itself. An orchestra OF
monkeys played for an aggregation OF
monkey aCrobats and actors; even the
stage hands were simians. The act went
with a rush and brought many laughs.
Most of the audience whistled for Roxy
La Roca when he played his harp, and
he was a big favorite.
Charlie Case spoke not only OF his
father, but also about his brother Hank,
and caused much fun in a quiet way.
The ClarmOnt Brothers performed hair
raising feats on a revolving ladder. and
she Loretta Twins, two girl acrobats,
also won decided approval

the average fruit grower in Prowers
county is many, many years behind
the Otero or Fremont county grower
in management of orchard and fruit
plat.
But few here as yet realize that
Ithree-fourths of the failures to pro-
duce fruit in the many productive
orchards is because of September or
October irrigation. Thus preventing
a hardy fruit bud to set on as the
warm days so prevalent in October
causes the sap to raise to the outer
branches of every limb, the bud
swells to almost the blooming stage
and the result is that the first freez-
ing weather puts a ''crimp" into the
bud so as to entirely destroy it. Some
latent buds may survive but it hard
lly ever produces fruit, however favor
able the season may be. All because
of not Withholding irrigation water in
the fall days mentioned.
Again much of the fungi prevalent
in some orchards can be prevented and
in most instances can be eradicated if
careful and painstaking spraying is
done before leaf or blooming stage
is reached, using lime and sulphur or
any of the better Bordeaux mixture
No injury can possibly result in the
lime-sulphur spray be is ever so pro-
fusely applied.
Then comes the necessity Of follow
ing up with the arsenate of lead,
spraying every three or four weeks
and perfect fruit in abundance is sure
to result, as was demonstrated to the
entire satisfaction in the James or
chard in May valley last year.
So Mr.. Grower, prune, spray and
carefully irrigate and thus reap pro-
fits satisfactory to all.

The total filings at the land office
the past month footed up over 1885,
900 acres, and as there are only about
l 100000 acres still vacant in this
district, it can readily be seen that it
will not last long if the present lick
keeps up, and just at present it is
gaining force instead Of losing. In
addition to this contests are being FL
ed more rapidly than ever in the his
tory of the district, showing that many
of the tracts have several claimants.
And only few short moons ago there
were none who would deign TO claim
them, much less dispute their owner
ship. The class of settlers is i'm
proving just as rapidly as the tide Of
immigration also. The most of the
people coming in now have enough
money and farming experience TO es-
tablish themselves and live until they
have a show to make something,
whereas many who came in the past
did not have sufficient to even estab-
lish themselves on their ranches. The
men coming now are all talking dairy
ing and raising stock, and in this in
dustry they can make a success.

Chas. Owens has resigned as con-
stable for the Lamar justice precinct
and the commissioners at their ses-
sion this week appointed Geo. A. Wat
son to fill the vacancy. The resigna-
ton of ]. w. Houlton as justice in

but no appointment made.
Carl Reinard, one of the old time
pioneers of the Butte creek section,
who went to the Philippines several
years ago, returned to Lamar the first
of the week and has gone down to
his old haunts to renew old acquaint-
ances and see the wonderful changes
made there. He still has many friends
in the county who are glad to well
come him.
Judge CRANKY .Iillyer spent sun
day and Monday at home, returning

Trinidad are much wrought up over
the case and it is causing almost
total suspension of business during
the sessions.

BASE BALL MATTERS
Reached Between Local
Management for Naval Hospital
to Play Schedule

After considerable negotiating back
and forth, the management Of the
local baseball team in the Arkansas
Valley league, and the Sailors team
at Fort Lyon, have reached an agree
ment, the middle of last week, where
by the Sailors will play the schedule
in the Arkansas Valley league during
the 1915 season, instead of Las Ami
mas.
The agreement is one whereby the
franchise is leased for the 1915 sea-
son to Fort Lyon for consideration
that it is hoped will allow the local
management an opportunity to come
out at the end Of the season in good
shape financially to enter another
season. The contract between the
management of the two teams spc-
officially sets forth that the franchise
is to remain the property of Las Ami
mas, and is let for 1915 only.
1t is the intention to maintain a
team in Las Animas this summer,
composed of local players, the high
school boys who are in the course Of
development, together with a few of
the old-timers, team that will play
mid-week exhibition games with the
Fort and other such teams as can be
secured. A team maintained princi-
pally as a development school for
young players, Of which we have sew
eral of excellent promise, needing on
ly seasoning and experience to place
them in class with the valley league.
The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1915-03-31

With this years work on the diamond
the beginning of another season will
find the local team supplied with five
or six young players-home boys
who will form the nucleus for future
teams, without which the maintaining
of a local team of class is impossible.
The majority of the schedule will
be played at Fort Lyon, although part
Of the games will probably be played
at the fair grounds in Las Animas.
Local fans have expressed approval
Of the course taken by the manage
ment, and declare they will give the
same loyalty to the Sailors as to the
town team, taking it as their substi-
tute in the valley league for 1915. Al
together an arrangement that seems
to meet with universal APPROVAL

the entire business at Prowers sta
ton heretofore conducted by the
Phillips Investment Co.
James Cushney, who was manager
for the Phillips Investment Co., is
the leading stakeholder and will be
manager for the new company, so the
change so far as management is con-
cerned will not be noticeable. The
directors are James Cushney, ]. G.
Forrest, Jas. Reid and W. J. Tod, and
the company is authorized to do
business in Prowers, Bent and Baca
counties. The new company takes
over 5000 acres of land in all, includ-
ing the home ranch, buildings, store
and other improvements at Prowers
station, and the numerous small water
hole tracts in southern Bent and
Prowers counties and also in Baca
county.
Mr.. Cushney has for a number of
years been manager Of the ranch and
business and has made host Of warm
friends throughout this section and
the taking over Of the property by
his company will be a matter Of gem
eral satisfaction. 1t is one of the
best ranch properties left in the
changing of this section from a strict
ly stock country to a high class farm
ing and dairy section.

occupy the store with a fine line of
furnishing goods. Gents suits and
furnishings will fill one side and
ladies' suits and furnishings the
other. 1t will be an exclusive fur
nishing store and Mr.. Todd's business
standing and experience insure that
it will be equal to anything in its line
to be found in this section.

Family Fears Decentralization hama
Committee Dcnounces Convict
Labor System.

Montgomery. Ala, July 14.-Char-
acterizing the convict lease system OF
Alabama as "a cancer that should be
out of Alabama's body polite" the
Merritt Legislative Investigating Com
mittee. in its report to the Legisla-
ture, recommended that all convict
leases be abrogated January 1, 1918,
and that the convicts after that date
be worked on tne public highways
and State farms.
Touching on other state affairs the
committee reported:
in the Department of Agriculture
we found evidence of spoil, graft and
corruption. The Department of Pure
Food and Drugs during the past four
years, instead of being used for the
purpose of protecting the public from
impure drugs and foods, has served
as means for a systematic scheme of
robbery and thievery."
