HIS NORTHERN BROTHER
$50 A YEAR

Just make it two, old fellow,
l want to stand once more
Beneath the old flag with you
AS in the days of yore.
Our fathers stood together,
And fought on land and sea
The battles fierce that made us
A nation of the free.
! whipped you down at Vicksburg,
You licked me at Bull Run;
On many a field we struggled
When neither victory won.
You wore the gray of southland,
l wore the northern blue;
Like men we did our duty
When screaming bullets flew.
Four years we fought like devils,
But when the war was done
Your hand in mine in friendly clasp,
Our two hearts beat as one;
And now when dangers threaten,
No north, no south we know;
Once more we stad together
To fight the common foe.
My head, like yours, is frosty,
Old age is creeping on;
Life's sun is lower sinking,
My day will soon be gone.
But if our country's honor
Needs once again her son,
I'm ready, too, old fellow
So get another gun.

BANK STATEMENT
Statements of Lamar Banks Reflect
Great Prosperity of the Sur
rounding Country

The government this week made the
sixth call for the year from the banks
members of the Federal Reserve Sys-
TEN. The statement of the First
National Bank of Lamar will be found
in another column and shows a big
increase in deposits and assets over
the last statement published in Octo-
Der, and over any previous statement
ever issued by the bank. The total
assets now reach well over the six
hundred thousand dollar mark, while
the deposits are close to a half mil
lion. The other local banks likewise
show big increases, and this in face of
the fact that since the last statement
the community has subscribed to over
S150000 of the governments bond is
sue. The three banks now have over
a million and quarter of deposits,
and the totals are growing right along
as the returns are rolling in for the
big crops harvested and now being
sold. Sugar beets, alfalfa, broom
corn and beans are still bringing in
big money and before spring the rec
ord breaking total of deposits will be
greatly increased. This has been
Prowers county's banner year, and
the prospects for another record
breaker are in evidence on every
hand.

BIG DREDGE ARRIVES
I. J. Sayler COnstu ction Co. Has Big
New Dredge on Ground for Work
on Wiley Drainage District

The T. J. Sayler Construction Co.,
which secured the contract for cxca-
waiting the big canal to drain the sccp
lands in the big Wiley Drainage Dis
trict, this week unloadcd a big new
dredging machine cut at the Big Bend
station, and as soon as it is set up
on the boat ready for work they will
begin excavating the canal. This is
by far the largest drainage district
organized in this Scction of the state
and will redeem about eight thousand
acres of land which has become more
or less useless on cccouEt Of seep-ge.
The district has been bonded for $780,
900 to pay all the expenses of drain
ing the district The present contract
is for the main drainage canal, and
will require the moving of over two
hundred thousand yards of dirt. Tho
big machine will be in charge of Frank
Saylcr, manager Of the Lamar Seed
Co., who so successfully put through
the excavating contract on the May
Valley drainage canal. The thousands
of acres redeemed will add materially

BIG WEEK OF WAR
Germans Get the Worst of the Weeks
Fighting on All Fronts

The past week has in most respects
been the most encouraging one since
America entered the war. Ths big
drive of the British in northern France
did more damage to the Hindcnburg
line than has been caused in any pre-
viOus months fighting on that front,
and at the same time recaptured more
territory than has been redcemerd
there since the big retreat last win
ter. Also the heaviest losses of the
year in men were inflicted on the
enemy. The British finally in places
reached open ground where old fash
ioned fighting with bayonct and cav
airy are possible. In this work the
British outclass their opponents and
further gains can be expected if the
weather permits. The Italians sue
ceeded in holding their line until the
French and British rcinforccmcnts ar
rived and they will be able now to
push the Austrians and Germans back.
The French have made small gains all
along the line, while the British are
driving the Turks back rapidly in
Asia. The American forces ere daily
engaged in trench warfare and are
getting the necessary experience that
will soon put them in condition to be
Of effective assistance in pushing back
the German line In all the situation
is far more hopeful for an early end
ing Of the war than it was a week ago.

Our Anonymous War

There has been more or less absurd
ity about the somewhere in Europe"
"some Atlantic port" and other indef-
mite date lines, especially when the
dispatches revealed later on, 10 every
12-year-old reader, the exact place.
Three lines below the "some British
port" date line over the account Of
Pershing's arrival, the reference 10 the
mayor Of Liverpool was something Of
hint to the most obtuse German
statesmen, to say nothing Of German
spies. But criticism Of these date lines
is based less on their anonymity than
on their crudeness. Sometimes there
are obvious reasons for attempt at
concealment Of the places Of the ar
rival Of ships and the stationing Of
troops.
But there are no APPARENT extcnuat-
ing circumstances for suppressing tho
names Of heroes in action. The list Of
the dead and wounded contains names
and addresses. If it is Of any special
advantage TO the Germans what par
ticular locality the soldiers occupying
a sector come from, the casualty lists
give them that information. But when
a "red-headed man from Indiana" fir
ed the first shot, why should not his
name have been published at home
The Germans would not have gone
down the line hunting for a red-headcd
man by that name. The same is true
of the lieutenant from, Wy
oming" Can anybody conceive Of any
advantage knowledge Of that hcro's
name and of the name Of his town in
Wyoming would be TO the Germans
Is there fear that somebody here will
burn the town or maltreat his family
The mystery Of such strategy passcth
understanding. Aside from the right
a soldier has to the honor Of his Elor-
ious deeds and the satisfaction his
fame gives his loved ones, the effect
on his comrades and on the people at
home cannot be ignored.
Think how devoid Of thrills our
history would be had this anonymous
style Of reporting always been follow
edl Who would have remembered
Sergt. Blank rescuing the colors at
Fort Blank? How thrilling would
have been the dispatch from nome
where in Mexico" about Gen. Blank
saying "A little more grape, Capt.
Blank" or one from Pacific port
about Admiral Blank saying, "Nou
may fire when you are ready, Blank"
How thrilling it would have been TO
read that Gen. Blank was being called
the crock of somewhere in Georgia"

The Pinto Bean, Long May II Bake,
And Fill That Empty, Gnawing
Ache

About four hundred years ago, when
Cortez roamed in Mexico, he found
the Aztec king and queen a-harvesting
the Pinto bean. Not once in all their
lives before, upon their distant native
shore, had Cortcz and his soldiers seen
the freckled, speckled Pinto bean. The
king asked Cortez to come up to visit
him and with him sup he promised
him a royal feast, the flesh Of bird
and flesh of beast, oysters and kraut
and dachshund lean, clam soup made
from the Pinto bean, a place beside
his own dear queen. COrtez went up
with all his crew to eat a meal with
Montezu. 1t sure was fine, two thous-
and kline were made into a mutton
stew. They ate as though they had
been starved, Of all that Montczuma
carved; but all declared, both fat and
lean, nothing could beat the Pinto
bean. I'm fond of tender Irish stew,
and noodle soup, spaghetti too; roast
beef amt bad, and so amt shad,
though limburger sure makes me mad.
But if we're going TO win this war and
wake the Kaiser with a jar we've got
to feed our soldier lads with some
thing else than frills and fads, with
something that is full of tar. The
Pinto bean will give them pep; the
Pinto bean will make their step so
long and strong, so bold and swift,
Of Kaiser Bill they'll make short
shift. The Pinto bean, long may it
bake and stew and stop the stomach

WHAT ENGLAND FIGHTS FOR

What does England want out of the war? The question is not only suggested by the Kasers latest phillipc against Great Britain, but it one that Americans often ask.
 Englands record is the token that what England wants out of the exactly what America wants the victory of democracy and peace based on justicea peace which will endure long as self governing men capable of reasoning and govern ing themselves by the principles of justice and the teachings of Christianity.
 Wait minute! We know what you are going to say about Engand's record But we must not her record is of evolution. The American Revolu- tfonary War is an English record just Runnymede and Cromwells revolution. England profitted from the American Revolution just did The evidence of this is free Dominion of Canada, free Australia, free New Zealand and free South Africa-all of them fighting side by side with the mother country to make the world safe for democracy
 The fight for democracy began early in Englands history and there has been constant progress Some times it has been slow. The English people very conservative. They do not turn lightly from estab- shed order, but when they turn they go back. The result is the common law, the greatest bulwark we have of human liberty.
 In International affairs England began her great work for world democracy when she conceived the doctrine of balance of power;" when she deter mined that the world should have no more conquer CTS if England could prevent was England that made the Hanibals, Caesars, Alexanders and Ottos a thing of the past. She began her great work for the small nations when she clipped the wings of Spain She continued it when she brought about the downfall of Napoleon She thought she was carrying 1t further when, after the collapse Napoleon, she began the long contest to prevent domination by Russia She is now fighting to prevent Emperor Will liam from doing what ancient warriors did and what Napoleon tried to do
 With a very few exceptional periods, and none of them recently. Great Britain has proceeded on her way toward democracy in deliberate and orderly manner It be unfortunate that it is so for had it been otherwise she might be Republic, even America and France and Russia and if England were a Republic today would have many less Kings in the world
