Walter V. Lockard. OF Salem.
Ohio. arrived In La Junta last Sun
day for a brief visit. after an Alb
scnce Of forty years. Mr. Lockard's
last visit 10 La Junta was In 1877.
and he WAS unable TO find = single
land mark that looked famiiiar-ex-
cept c. W. wondcrly. and he did
not recognize this landmark until he
had gone through the formality Of
an introduction. Mr.. wonderiy did
not come TO La Junta until 1880.
20 Il was three years later that he
became one OF our established land
marks.
Mr.. Lockard says that there was
nahing much In La Junta but a.
looms and dance halls forty years
ago. except ono hotel. Of which Joe
Perry was the proprietor. There was
also . blacksmith shop. which was
conducted By Andy Nav.
La Junta was . very Wild and

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
Community Organization Effected 70
Conserve FoOd Products Clubs
Among Farmcrs' Wives Also

AT the request OF Governor Gunter
that representative woman be Sc
lected in each community to organize
and manage = Home Economics Club,
Mrs. 8. h. Mendelson was chosen for
the city OF La Junta. For this pur-
pose Mrs. Mendelson called a meet
ing In Harmony Hall last Monday af-
ternoon to which about fifty ladies
responded.
The purpose OF the organization Is
to impress upon the minds of the
women the imperative need, not only
OF increased production, but Of con-
serving In some waIf .very particle
of food and to teae1 ow to scien-
tifically preserve what is not needed
now for use in the future. Every
housewife is expected to be able to
meet her own needs during the COM
Ing winter, and leave the factory
products for those who will not be
prepared to do 80.
Mrs. Mendelson was requested to
organise community clubs among the
farmers wives near La Junta. Mrs.
Tom Conyers was appointed to take
charge Of the work in the district
in which she lives and others will
be appointed soon.
Tho board Of education has offered
the use Of the domestic science rooms
in the high school for the work.
These rooms are well equipped for
work Of this kind. Besides using
the equipment OF the domestic SCI
ence department. the club voted TO
purchase q high pressure boiler,
which saves time and fuel In preserv-
Ing, and an evaporator which pre-
serves food without the use Of sugar
and jars. The high pressure boilers
have been thoroughly tested and are
highly recommended by those who
have used them. Let II be under
stood that the canning and preserv-
Ing OF fruits Is not all thst Ia de-
sired. but the preserving OF vege-
tables OF all kinds-beans, corn. as
paragus. rhubarb and many things
hitherto considered impossible to pre-
serve for future use.
The meeting was most enthusias-
tic and instructive. Many simple.
practical and economical recipes were
given. Short talks were made by
Mrs Mendelson. Mrs. Hart. Mrs.
O'Neil. Mrs. Lamb. Mrs Beard. Mrs.
Madigan. Mrs. Roy Thompson and
others.
Mrs. Mendelson chose as her as
sistants Mrs. Wilson A. Hart. secre-
tary: Mrs. J II. Rapp. treasurer;
Mrs. W. l.. Bertrand. Mrs. John
Beard and Mrs. Rufus Phillips as
sub committee.
II is earnestly requested that all
who can will join this worthy cause.
The club has a charter membership
OF fifty-three. The fee Is fifty cents
and any one who was not present
at the meeting can become member
by sending her name and fifty cents
to Mrs. J. II. Rapp. 11th Colorado

idad, ordway, Sugar City, Las AMI
mas and La Junta. The work of
the first two degrees was exempli-
fled by mixed team from Trinidad
Pueblo and La Junta. while the third
degree was in charge OF Past State
Deputy George Mullare. OF Trinidad.
and w. G. Code, grand knight of
the Trinidad Council. The work oc-
cupied the entire day and was in
tensely interesting and enthusia site
throughout All members OF the To-
cal council pride themselves on the
thorough success OF the undertaking.
and 1t will long be remembered as
a gala time in the history OF the To-
cal council.
Those upon whom the three de-
grees OF the order were conferred are
as follows:

The exercises were followed by an
elaborate banquet at the Harvey
House In the evening. at which near
ly two hundred. including knights
and their ladies. we're present. Ow-
ing to the departure OF SO many Of
the guests on the early trains. the
speechmaking part Of the program
had to be omitted, greatly to the
disappointment OF the knights as
sembled. and the orators as well. A
special car was attached to train No.
s for the accommodation OF Trini-
dad knights and their ladies. which
was scheduled to return on train No.
z. and this fact curtailed much Of
the program that had been outlined
for the banquet.
The local lodge OF Elks very
kindly opened their home to all out
OF town visitors. and II was used to
splendid advantage by the Young
Ladies' Sodality In entertaining the
ladies OF the visiting knights. which
numberer about thirty-five. The
ladies were given an automobile ride
to Rocky Ford and North La Junta.
and In the afternoon were enter
tained at the Elks' Home with a
musical program. which was fol-
lowed by the serving OF light re-
frcshments.
The festivities were concluded on
Monday evening with a grand ball.
which was well attended. quite n
number OF visitors from out OF town
remaining for the closing festlvity,
The event as q whole was one which
will he long remembered in the an
mails OF the local council OF the
knights of Columbus.

active interest in the welfare of the
nations troops. There has been for
mulated plan of real religious work
whereby each parishioner with the
colors will be kept in close touch with
Congregational affairs. This we take
the quintessence which permeates
mems souls even when they are far
removed from the hearth of home and
the sanctuary OF the church.
All over the universe there is a new
and growing interest in things re-
ligious, in affairs spiritual The sordid
old world has been rocked to it's very
foundations by the great cataclysm-
war. The teachings of Christ, SEEM
ingly thrown aside, have come back
again to grip mems attention, the
while destruction on the face of the
globe goes on under the master guild
ance of one thrilled and filled with
Satanic impulses. If there is para
doxism to be found in the very con-
ditions which confront the peoples Of
the earth, it'>is because men are not
given to look beneath the surface.
Out of this great chaos must come
order. And the order will be that of
those who followed In the footsteps Of
the Divine Master, who have lived to
the teachings Of Jesus Christ-as OPP
posed to the so-called Divine Right Of
Kings.
What is going on in the various
parts Of the world, the regeneration in
religion brought about by a veritable
baptism of fire, is no more nor less
than the work which has enkindled
the ardor of the South church and It's
people for the past seven decenniums.
and which today Is bearing full fruit.
There is cause for rejoicing that these
things are so,and with that spirit must
all men, Of all faiths, recognize the
record Of seventy-flve years.
