Sheriff l. C. Downing went to Col
orado Springs Monday and brought
back the Ford car recently stolen from
w. I. Winstoad on the streets of La
mar, and also Roy Main, who did the
stealing. The car was taken some
weeks ago on Saturday afternoon
when the street was crowded, and no
trace Of it was found until Main who
was visiting relatives at Fountain,
drove into a garage at Colorado
Springs and acted so suspicious as to
cause the garage men to start an in
Guiry. This wipes out the slate for
Lamar, all cars Of our citizens, which
were stolen here, having been recov-

Land Prices Going Up

Farm land in Bent county is COM
ing into its own is evidenced by two
sales that were closed the past few
days. Last spring f. A. Dickcrson
purchased of w. f. Cooper a farm of
100 acres between town and Fort
Lyon, paying for the same S137.50 an
acre. A few days ago Anthony Gard
ner, now living on one of Prowers
county's splendid farms, came up to
Las Animas and purchased this same
tract for 175 per acre. Anthony used
to live in Bent county and is well ac-
quainted with all the farms on the
north side, and he knows the Dickor-
son land is worth all it cost him.
Frank Grove made a bargain this
week when he purchased the 100 acre
tract adjoining his 24O acres on the
north. This farm was purchased by
Prof. Jones of Lamar seven years
ago, and last year he placed it with
L. G. Kurtz to sell at a price Of S110
an acre. Mr.. Kurtz forgot that he
had listed this fine farm at such a
low price, but when shown the con-
tract he said, that's right; let it go
at the price stipulated" The beets
on this farm will bring $3.50 an acre.

MIDDLEMAN'S LOSSES
CAUSE OF SENATE IRE
Rosenwald Answers Complaints of De-
cline in Profits.

Loss Of profits by middlemen caused
the attacks in the Senate on the letting
Of contracts for urgently needed sup
plies by the Council of National De-
Tense, Julius Rosenwald. chairman Of the
Supply Committee OF the Councils Ad-
visory Board, declared last night.
He said that many middlemen who
had been accustomed to obtaining gov
ernment contracts had been complaining
to Senators and Representatives that they
had not been treated fairly.
"As to the criticism that we have been
usurping authority in letting contracts"
said Mr.. Rosenwald, there Is one In
stance which shows how we are working.
On a contract for 1000 army blankets we
saved $4,000 by dealing direct with the
manufacturer.
I'VE have had to be foresighted. When
bills were introduced for the creation
of an army Of $4,000 there was not
yard Of khaki In stock in the country.
The concentration of troops on the Mex
lean border had wiped out all surplus.
So we went ahead and made contracts
with mills for the weaving of the cloth.
You can't wish uniforms. First you must
get the cloth and then have It tailored.
eliminating the middleman, we are
going ahead with plans to obtain knitted
goods and mattresses. We could obtain
no mattresses under the specifications
formulated by the Quartermaster' De-
partment. So We called mattress experts
together named a committee, and the
government In prepared to ask for bids on
the sort Of mattress that can be obtained,
This committee Is working In the gov
ernments interests and will see that all
mattresses turned out are as they

DUBS DEFENSE EXPERTS
BUNCH OF Bug HUNTERS
Representative Predicts Council Will
Drive Nation Bankrupt.

Bankruptcy of the nation in six months
by the Council Of National Defense was
predicted yesterday by Representative
William Schley Howard, Of Georgia. He
said that what at first appeared to be
'an fnofrensiye. inpocent-Iooking piece of
machinery had turned out entirely other
wise.
IT went down to the building in which
II Is situated" he said. Three floors
were occupied by hundreds and hundreds
Of clerks crowed together like they were
putting out fire in a broomEedge patch.
There were expert hy-speckers, chem
lists, analysts, insect finders, bug hunters,
and people of every conceivable char
acter. If that crowd is turned loose on
the nation six months longer, Il will
bankrupt IT"
The Representative attacked the coun-
ellis policy OF letting no contracts un-
less on q 10 per cent profit basis, figured
on the gross costs.
He said this was an incentive to con-
tractors to raise costs, because costs
were the basis of profits.
