John A. williams Funeral

The funeral service of the late
j. A. Williams, former resident of
Lamar, was held Thursday afternoon,
September 81, at Pierce Brothers
chapel, 9Th and Flower street, Los
Angeles.
The service was conducted by the
pastor of the 9th Church of Christ,
Science. After this beautiful ser
vice the body was taken to Evergreen
cemetery for interment, followed by
the mourning family and many friends
and neighbors.
At the gates of the cemetery they
were met by a long line of Masons
who conducted them to the grave,
where impressive services of that or
der was held.
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful.
A number of former citizens of La
mar were among those attending the
services.
John A. Williams was for many
years one of the best known citizens
of Lamar. He came to this county
from Nebraska in 1889 and located
under the Fort Lyon canal, where he
farmed several years. He was twic,.
elected assessor of Prowers COUNT
and served eight years as register Of
the United States land office here. He
was a resident of Lamar for nearly
twenty years and always held in the
highest esteem and respect by oil
our citizens. Failing health caused
his removal to California about FIVE
years ago. His host of friends here
deeply regret to hear of his death.

PRAISES LAMAR HOSPITAL

Aug. F. Buck of Hartman was in
Lamar last Friday for the purpose of
taking home his son, Donald, who has
been in the Lamar General Hospital
for the past six weeks on account of
typhoid fever. Mr.. Buck told the rep
resentative Of the Register that he
believed this institution to be one Of
the greaest assets of the county, and
when all our citizens are familiar with
the fact that it is up-to-date in all
its equipment and work it will need
larger quarters to meet the demands.
He says that there have been a num-
Der Of cases Of typhoid in his section,
but he was the only one to come to
the Lamar hospital Owing to the ex-
cellent care on the part of the nurses
and the nearness to the physician he
found that his son had made a more
rapid recovery and the case had cost
him less financially than any others
in that section. He said that he could
not speak too highly of the kindness
and attention Of the staff at the hos
pital, and that the Lamar ladies who
are working to maintain the institu-
ton here deserve the thanks and sup
port Of the community and county.

Grand Lodge win Dedicate

The new Masonic Temple will be
dedicated by the officers of the Grand
Lodge of Colorado on Saturday, oc-

orable to everything being in readi-
ness at that time. The electric fix
lures are being placed in position this
week and the painters are almost
through with the inside decorations.
A large number of outside Masons

Joe McIlvane made a trip through
the dry farming section a few milea
south of Caddoa the first of the week
and brought back some samples OF
Soudan grass and feterita that arr
enough to open the eyes of all who
have been thinking that owing to the
drouth no dry land crops were RAISED
here at all this season. He says they.
have several thousand acres of fine
feed crops in that section and the
sample hill of Soudan grass h.
brought is over nine feet tall an,
heavy with grain. The heads of fe-
terita are well filled and very large.
Maize and cane and other feed CROP
are also doing fine he reports, and
the people instead Of being discour
aged by the dry season are holding
their farms at higher prices than a
year ago.

About Machines,

Editor Richmond Virginian.
sir. Mechanical machinery con-
tributes very largely to the comfort
and convenience OF mankind, To be
sure. there are bad machines good
ones get out of order and wear out.
and sometimes they are put TO bad
use, But the machine" notwith-
standing 1t may per chance balk, get
cantankerous and have it's off days,
liz indispensable to our welfare. And
all this ia essentially true OF the meta
phorical machine.
We hear and read great deal
about political machines" The walls
and anathemas of the anti machine"
folks resound throughout the land.
All parties have their anti-machine
factions. All the failures. actual and
fancied OF the adm Illustration. all the
disappointed hopes and ambitions of
the asplrants for political honors. with
an assortment OF charges of chicanery
and selfish cunning thrown in for
good measure, are charged against
the machine" And yet the ma
chine lis the motive power that keeps
the party and the administration 60
ing, while generally the animus that
inspires the "anti-machine" cry pro-
ceeds from jealousy, selfshness or ig-
norance, and sometimes all three COM
bined, which is as bad a combination
as can we'll be Imagined.
Have YOU never seen the spectacle
Of the aeckiHg to an annual election
meeting of an organization by the
chronic stay-at- homes" who seldom
darken the doors of their regular
meeting place, and leaving every duty
10 the old guard. who faithfully
keep the machinery moving, vet now
asse m BILE to get rid of the machine 2"
The active few who compose the
machine" have probably caucussed or
conferred relative 10 the filling of re-
sponsihle positions and their "usurpa-
ton" must be rebuked The people
should rule And If the Offices were
fiiled at random or at the behest of
salary or title, the reformation"
would proba bly, be suicidal.
Whenever there are just grounds
for the removal of the machine" in
an organization. II Ia good business
70 dtsplace il, and to do this decently
and in order without impairing the
whole tablishment But il Is Meth
er wise nor just 10 supplant one ma
chine by an inferior one and at the
behest Of pre- iudiced and interested
parties of the new machine brand.
The cheapest and the smallest thing
in the whole political arena is the
vague and intangible mouthings about
the machine" that are inspired by
prejudice and selfish ambition, and
the machiniest thing a-going is gem
orally the "anti-machine" propaganda.
Now isn't that fact?
