DUE TO SHORTAGE OF SHIPS
Congestion Of Freight on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.

Altoona, Pa, Nov. 24.-There are
now stored in the Hollidaysburg yard
and the Petersburg branch of the
Pennsylvania railway more than 1000
carloads of freight consigned to the
warning nations of Europe.
Much of the freight is the product
of American steel mills. 1t was nee
essary to store the freight because
there are too few vessels in the for
eign trade to transport the goods
rapidly enough.

ANOTHER NIGHT BURGLARY
Two Burglars Before Midnight
Tuesday

Once more have burglars operated
on the main business section of La
mar without any interference at all.
On Tuesday two men loafed around
the N. N. Mclean store for some
time before closing, and when the
store was opened by Mr.. Gamble,
chief clerk, in the morning it was dis
covered that it had been entered and
considerable goods taken. Nearly all
the pocket knives and cheaper rings
and watches had been taken. The
better grades of jewelry were locked
up and were not touched. The burglars
had entered by the front sky light of
the store and had turned off the cleo
trio light which generally burns all
night.
Wednesday morning the officers
found a watch and pocket knife from
the stock that had been pawned, and
the man who pawned the watch was
captured about noon. He gave the
name Of Patterson and was recognized
by the clerks as one of the two loaf
ing in the store Tuesday evening.
He had been around town several
days. A good description of the
other man was secured and it was
found he left for the east on No.
10 Wednesday morning after pawning
the knife. The burglars must have
done their work within a very short
Al i
the knife was pawned shortly after
IL o'clock. The man that escaped
had come down from Las Animas
that afternoon on the stub. They were
evidently amateurs at the craftsman
game as no attempt was made to
break into the safe where a rich haul
could have been made. Lamar bust
ness men certainly need some night
protection.

Track Meet

The first annual meeting of the
Prowers County Athletic and Literary
league will be held at Lamar on Sat
urday, April "a. Holly, Granada,
Wiley and Lamar high schools will
contest for honors in both athletic
and literary events. Banners will be
given the schools winning in debate,
Grafton and defamation. The school
winning the track meet will be award
ed beautiful loving cup. This trophy
is to be the property of the school
for one year only, being contested
for again the following year. The cup
is on exhibition in the window of Mr..
Applegate's store.
The meet will be held on the grounds
south of the library. Each school will
send a big delegation to root for its
team, Holly alone promising seventy
five boosters. Holly and Granada are
contestants in the interstate meet this
week and will have the advantage of
experience in that contest. Neverthe-
less, Coach Koonsman is counting on
keeping the silver loving cup in La
mar high, and a big squad of high
school boys is working out every
afternoon at $3.50 on the grounds. This
will be the biggest track meet ever
pulled off in Lamar and the expense
of handling the three visiting track
and literary school teams will be
heavy. An admission fee of 80 cents
will be charged for either the track
or the literary program, or a ticket
for both may be purchased for SOC.
This is good, clean, healthful sport.
Buy SOC ticket and help the boys
along. Any money cleared above ex-
penses by the Lamar team will be
used to help pay the expenses of the
Lamar high school team at Colorado
Springs high school day. Come out
Saturday afternoon, April "a, and see
the big track meet. Literary con-
tests will be held Saturday night, APP
ril "a, beginning at 8 o'clock.

Cooperation Needed

Some prize should be offered to re-
ward their Efforts and to encourage
other to do like work Eight hundred
children will begin this week a cam
paign to swat the fly. By use of
traps, fly swatters, and in every way
possible the number of flies will be
diminished. This will do little good
unless the breeding places of flies are
destroyed. Closed garbage cans and
closed cess pools should be the rule.
Manure from horse stables, the chief
habitat Of the developing fly, should
be scattered, or so treated as to de-
stroy the fly maggots. 1t is not suf-
ficent that this should be voluntary
work on the part of few. Full CO.
operation is necessary. This work
can be done so efficiently as to make
Lamar this summer practically a fly
less town, not only doing away with
nuisance but probably saving a
number of lives by forestalling the
spread Of disease.

this spring, will have more green

unsanitary and unsightly places can
be cleaned up, and Lamar can just
as well be made the neatest and clean

teaching positions in the rural schools.
Fifteen Lamar high school graduates
are teaching this year in Prowers
county. A special teachers course is
given each year in the high school

The sugar beet acreage in the Ar

cent this year over last. This estimate
was announced last night by a party
of field men representing the Ameri-

The party drove from Rocky Ford
