Lamar's Weather

That Lamar and Prowers county
constitute the real winter resort of
Colorado was again demonstrated this
week. Citizens returning from the
west report snow and extreme cold
weather at Denver and all points
down the line until near the Prowers
county line. At the same time home
seekers coming in from Kansas report
that they faced an actual blizzard, one
Of the rough and disheartening var
iety all the way until they came near
the state line, when they passed out
and in Prowers county, found pleas
ant weather. II has been the same
all winter and for many winters past.
The Lamar temperature will show
several degrees less cold and far
fewer storms than any other city in
the state.

CITY ELECTION
Considerable Interest Being Taken
This Week in the Formation of a
Ticket

The city election comes early this
year, on Tuesday, April 8, and it is
necessary to have tickets filed by Sat
urday night to insure their being
placed upon the ballot. The officers
elected will hold two years. The posi-
tions to be filled are mayor, clerk,
treasurer, and two aldermen from
each of the three wards. There is
some dispute as to term of those
elected two years ago for four
year term, but it is claimed that the
supreme court has declared the law
under which they were elected un-
constitutional
Lamar has the greatest opportunity
in its history before it right now, as
all indications point TO an unprece-
dented boom in all lines here, and the
city government should be in the
hands Of as live and progressive citi-
zens as are business and manufacture
ing interests Of the city. The Register
has no ticket and will heartily sup
port any candidate on any ticket that
will answer the above description. The
fight that has been most prominent
here for some years is now laid to
rest, as congress has decided that af-
ter July LIST we are to be bone dry"
and what congress decides Uncle
Sans officers can be depended upon
to enforce. There will be few at
tempts to evade the government edict,
and far fewer will get away with it.
With this issue buried, there ought
to be no trouble in electing live
bunch of energetic boosters TO the
city offices that will give the city a
progressive and efficient administra-
tion and utilize every occasion and
means to assist in the work Of MAX
ing Lamar take the leading position
in the valley which it deserves.
II scrap is necessary to ret such
a ticket just remember that l. mar has
had plenty of scraps before and they
have only added to the interest of
living in the city. The whole world
has on its fighting clothes right now,
and there is every indication that
even the nations that are heaviest
losers will come out greatly invigorat-
ed and far more efficient because of
it, Lamar if necessary might just as
well be in the style.
Numerous names have been pre-
scented and many more mentioned and
from these lists there should be no
trouble in securing one or even two
tickets representing splendid material
for the various offices to be filled.
No definite ticket has yet ben
sented for the consideration Of the
voters and petitions will have to be
out within the next twenty-four hours.

newspaper lad charged him with variety of corrupt Iracti es politics
 It does not matter to the Journal so much what tlese practices may have been CT whether or not the charges be sustained by legal evidence. asks what could be said about the TJnrany chieftain that would iealy damage his reputation or himself in such |ast sum? Is his reputation really worth a hal nul'cr dollars if it should te away in it's entirety? What would be left of # were deprived of that much of it's value? Asslmng that it iam- aged or caTabe being damaged would il he restored b an unrjured state :ts f1ra,ec condition if Lat sum were extracted from the hbe.er and paid over to tte lawyers turned into tie I.nmany ,ttaslry?
 The Journal of Commerce itself verges pretty closely upon libel by nnuendo in another series of questions it asks whether the damage Murphy's reputation is to be measured by an actual loss of value or Impaired ability to obtain value. To whom was that able service valuable? To whom was it rendered. If to the public, will the public refuse 10 pay Tor that service to it's loss the nal of Commerce almost Hbelously asks fits gain?"
 Possibly some might consider that it a bene- fit to the public and injury. If it took away the Rf ss' reputation it might be a benefit to him rather than a damage. provided he would put his abilities to some other use"
 There seems to be interesting legal question as to wAat constitutes damage by libel should be paid fer in the case of person with reputation supposed to be invunerable There are two kinds of such regulations. One is based on character and conduct so well-known and understood that it is in no daEger of being hurt by misrepresentation. The ether is supposed to be invulnerable because any thing that might be said about the owner would make difference with it.

Letters to the Soldiers

There is one way that those who remain at home may help the boys who have gone to the front or to the mobilization camps-by writing to them cheerful, Eossipy letters home Of course. most of those who have relatives will letters though sometimes relatives are not much given to letter writing There are. though many boys who are almost alone in the world or who have near relatives and will likely hear from home only through the newspapers or in some roundabout way. They will get none of the intimate neghborhood which is of no interest to the general public and therefore does not get into print but which may be of deep interest to some soldier boy.
 Such boys feel deep of loneliness that is
 difficult to understand. It kind of loneliness that increases the greater the multitude of the men who surround them. We have all experienced the lonel- ness Of strange great city. It should be the patriotic duty Of even slight acquaintances of such boys to write to them and keep them informed of the news ot the uetghborhood whence they went to the war
 There are two kinds Of letters that may be sent to soldiers enc the cheerful letter and the other is a kind that should never be sent-the gloomy, com planting lugubrious kind, than letter at all. It's tendency is to depress to increase it does not actually incite, homesickness If the soldier knows that things going well at home. he will be better soldier as well happier

War Savings

Announcement has just been made through the Associated Press of plan devised by the War Saw ings Committee of which Mir. H. D. Marshall of this city member for the collection of small war loans to the government. There will be war-savings cer- tiilcates which may be obtained at postoffces banks some railroad stations and other designated places where accredited persons will act selling agents. These certificates will face value of $500, deemable in five years from January 1 of next year. The sales will begin month and certificates bought then in January will cost SAP. With the first war stamp purchased the certificate will be issued With spaces for stamps amounting in cost Ss2 70, -edeemable January 1923 at s100 The difference between this and the price paid for the stamps s17.6O represents interest per cent, conpoundei quarterly. These certificates exempt from taxation. One may not buy than s1oO of the certificates at time, hold larger amount Of them than s1,oo0. It should be stated that savings stamps purchased after next January will S4.c3
 Another war savings device is the thrift stamp" which VIII cost twenty-five cents. These stamps will he pasted, purchased, thrift cards which when filled will have face value of s4 These cards may be exchanged at any postoffice or bank for war savings stamps by paying the difference between s4 and the price of the stamps. That difference will be F if the exchange made December or January, and 23 cents if made later.
 If the kolder of savings stamps should find himself in urgent need of money he may surrender them to tie government, receiving per interest for the tire that may have elapsed their pur- chase by him.
 Under the plan it is impossible for these certifi- cates to appreciate in value. Their face value five years hence is fixed and the government guarantees the purchasing price with interest for every day after purchase.
 In t1at respect the certificates are better than government bonds. Though these bonds invariably take a premium the government guaranty of their value does not attach until they mature

Perry was aroused by the bang
ing of the screen door of his
house in Meadowhurst. He made
an investigation and saw a man
come out of the door of the boys
room and go into the pantry.

moving around he crouched down
in the corner Of the pantry to try
and keep out of sight.
Perry seized a chair and at
tackled the intruder, breaking the
chair over his head. Not seeing
anything else he could use as a
weapon he retreated to the bed
room for his rifle but the man
made good use of the respite and
beat a hasty retreat.
