Out of Quarantine

Word has been received from Camp
Keaney that the boys of Company
D, who were quarantined last week,
are now out again. One young man,
R. N. Innskeep of Hasty, who was a
private in Company D, died of spinal
menengitis and it was that case that
caused the quarantine. 1t is with
deep regret that many friends of the
young man in this section heard of
his death. He was a fine young man
and was well known in Lamar. He
had claim near Hasty. This was
the first death in the company since it
was mustered into the government
service and the deepest sympathy Of
the entire community goes out to the
members of his family.

The members of the drill team of
Lamar Camp No. SO, w. o. w, gave
an oyster supper last night at the
Merchants Cafe in honor of their
captain and drill master, j. E. Am
mann, who is about to move away
from this vicinity. Mr.. Amman has
been in charge of the team for many
years and it is largely due to his ef-
forts that the Lamar team has been
regarded as one of the best w. o. W.
teams in this section of the state. Two
members of the team are now away.
having joined the army and several
were unable to be present. Those
who were present enjoyed one of the
finest oyster suppers ever served in
Lamar, and an evening long to be
remembered by all. Tha deepest re-
grets were expressed by all over los
ing Capt. Amman, and the best
wishes of all are that good luck and
prosperity will be with him wherever
he locates. Those present on the oc-
casion were J. f. Amman, Bert
Merwin, Hubert Applegate, d. H. Ar
mold, Harry Bowers, Fred Boy, w.

New Branch of D-C-D

Word was received by the Y. NJ. b.
A. this week that delegates were de-
sired at Canadian from here to take
part in an important meeting there on
Wednesday evening that would de-
eide the question of diverting a new
branch trail to connect with the D-C-D
If successful it will likely double the
tourist business over the trail. Hon.
Allyn Cole and w. E. Allen left on
Tuesday to make the trip and repre-
sent the local Y. NJ. B. A. at the meet
ing. They were joined at Springfield
by ]. f. Terral and ]. A. Stinson who

Raising Suhscription List

The Denver Post made an offer this
week to take out $50 Liberty bond
for each bona-fde new subscriber to
that paper during the week. The local
Y. NJ. b. A. telegraphed to know if
the bonds would be taken through the
Prowers county banks for new sub
scribers here and received word that
they would. In two hours bunch of
the Yambas,w who had turned newsboys
for the day, secured a hundred sub
scribers and asked the Post outfit how
far they would go with the deal. Mr..
Bonfils replied they would go the linn
it. and the boys are now past the two
hundred mark and still going. 1t is
a great stunt for the Post and also is
being made a good one for the local
bond statesmen. If the other counties
will go after the game like Prowers
county has it will boost the Post list
out of sight and land the whole bond
issue on them.

General. Colonel and 100 Captains
Lead Lone Private

Camp Doniphan, Fort Sill, Okla,
Oct. 23.-A brigadier general, a col
oncl, six majors and 100 captains are
today commanding John Goings, late
of the Third Kansas, the lone private
of the depot brigade. Until men from
the national army cantonment at
Camp Funston arrive, Goings will be
the sole enlisted force of the brigade,
which is to be filled with the drafted
soldiers. He has five bands to give
him music, but his pleasures are
spoiled by the too frequent necessity
of saluting his los superior officers.

Check and Otis Richards who had just
returned from a trip by auto to Ra-
ton. After considerable search they
located the jitney Of the former in
the south part Of town and found a
liberal supply Of liquor in it. They
confiscated the car and liquor and the
two men will soon be given a chance
to prove their side of the case.

have gathered the figures, unless
American consumption of those food
stuffs is reduced below the normal
consumption our reserve will not be
large enough to meet the need. And
so the problem becomes a simple one
at least when studied. We can con
serve our wheat by increasing our
consumption OF other grains. We can
conserve our meat by making a great
er demand upon the resources of the
fish market All OF these are expedi-
ents known to the American house
wife
II the United States were an auto
cratic country there would be no pop
ular appeal for the conservation OF
food There would be an autocratic
food control. The mailed fist would
rule in the kitchen. Imperial food de
crees would be enforced at the point
OF the bayonet But ours is not an
autocratic country. Food control is
in the hands OF the people themselves.
and It is to the people that the Food
Administration has appealed in the
Food Pledge Card Campaign
Herbert Hoover has termed this ap-
peal an unprecedented adventure In
democracy"-an adventure that will
determine whether or not democrat
ic form OF government is. after all,
fitted to engage in a death grapple
with an autocracy.
The appeal in the Food Pledge
Week Campaign is that the homes OF
this country be enrolled as members
OF the United States Food Administra
tion. Broadly speaking. the United
States Food Administration includes
every man, woman and child in the
United States, because food control is
in the hands OF the people.
The Food Pledge Week Campaign.
therefore. resolves itself into an effort
to secure as a result OF voluntary
agreement pledges insuring the gen
eral support for well defined pro
gram OF food conservation. The Food
Pledge Week Campaign represents an
effort TO induce as many OF tss Amer
lean homes as possible to unite in
common policy. Our wheat reserves
can be conserved II everybody helps.
Our meat reserves can be conserved
II the whole public cooperates.
The Food Pledge Week Campaign.
therefore. turns out to be simple
enough in its outlines The American
people are asked to join together in
common conservation policy. As eVi-
dence that they are supporting this
policy they are asked to hang a card
denoting membership in the United
States Food Administration In their
window. In order that the conserva

Senators Must
Work at Night in
Order to Catch Up

Washington, Jan. 2S.-With less
than thirty working days remaining in
the life OF the Sixty-fourth congress
the democratic steering committee Of
the senate decided today to hold daily
sessions of the senate from 1 o'clock
in the morning until 10 o'clock at
night, beginning Thursday, Febru-
ary !. Ill.,
The decision is to drive hard and
fast on essential appropriations and
the revenue bill and to undertake the
big general administration measures
one by one as time permits.
What general legislation is to be
taken up first no member Of the steer
ing committee would say. The gen
eral understanding, however, is that
the railroad labor bill will be.consid-
cred as soon as the ifdian appropfia-
ton bill is out of the way.
Another obstruction to business
which democratic leaders fear is the
urgent desire of republican senator's
to force discussion of President Will
sons peace address.
In the house this week the revenue
fight will begin. The ways and means
committee will meet tomorrow, when
the entire membership for the first
time will consider and pass upon the
measure framed by Chairman Kitchin
and his democratic colleagues.
Republican representatives will eau
Gus probably Friday night on the
legislative situation.

Sister Mary Angela's New Play
= Draws Well and Pleases People

Allingham and Sister Ambrose dow,
even to Dinah, the darkey servant OH
the farm.
The play strikes against the evil
of divorce. In the second act
dramatic situation is raised when the
mortgage on the convent school is
about to. be foreclosed, a calamity
that is avoided after the proper
amount.of dramatic suspense.
The play written by this Omaha
sister is filled with wholesome truths
of mans duty to man and to God. 1t
teaches obedience to the still small
voice." the beauties of self-sacrihce
for the good Of others and the evils
resulting from yielding to tempta
tions. And all these truths are
presented in the body of the interest
ing story. Thus the lessons are taught
while the audience is absorbed in the
play.
A play that is free from sex" prob
lens and kindred modern muck is
pleasing for that reason, too. Liberal
applause showed it met approval of
the audience.
