COLLEClANS OPPOSE SERVICE
PHYSICAL EDUCATORS ALSO OB-
JECT UNIVERSAL SYSTEM BE-
FORE SENATE COMMITTEE

Washington, Jan. 13.-Vigorous op-
position to universal military service
Or training was expressed before the
senator military committee today by
several speakers for the American
union against militarism.
Physicians and physical educators
headed by DR.. James Warbasse of New
York, assailed particularly the sug-
gestion that physical benefit would be
derived from military training in the
schools.
Opposed by College Men
They were followed by delegation
of college men under the leadership
Of Max Eastman, formerly Of Colum-
bia university.
The committee, which has under con-
sideration Senator Chamberlain IS uni
versai training bill anu has heard a
number of army officers and other in
it's support, set aside three days in
which to hear witnesses designated by
the union against militarism. At the
outset today representatives OF the
union made it clear that they were
not opposed to building up an ade-
quate army and navy.
Not Complete Exercise
The group Of physicians and physical
educators contended that the cost of
physical trainin~ required in mill.
tary course lacks elements of exercise
essential to well-roundeu bodily aevel-
opment and that military drill in the
schools does not really teach boys the
art of war because they are too young
to handle real weapons and undergo
the rigors Of adequate instruction.

The Lamar register., 1917-06-06
Logging the d. c. D.

Next Monday morning the Record
will begin the work of logging the
Dallas s-Canadian-Dcnvc highway. The
first trip will be the long one from
Canadian which comprises the north
ern division between Canadian and
Lamar. This as has been intimatcd
previously is quite an undertaking,
and we are beginning to fully realize
Just what a big undertaking it is.
However, this log is designed to be
one continual boost for the country
that lies between Childress, Texas,
and Lamar, Colorado. We contem-
plate making 10000 of these books to
contain approximately 100 uagos.
Much of this contents will be de-
scriptive of the country over which
the route will carry the tourist and
everything that is contained therein
even the advertising will be interest
ing reading for the stranger who
passes this way.
Inquiries have already been made
concerning the finished product and
from far off places we have applica-
tions for the books. It is affordiEg q
splendid opportunity for advertising
purposes and a number of applicants
already at hand for space is indica-
tive Of splendid patronage along that
line.
Quite a number of Canadian con-
Germs have made known their desires
along that line and there is yet some
whom we hope will avail themselves
of the opportunity.
This will be the greatest cvertise-
ment for this portion of the country
that has gone out in booklet form
Canadian, Texas, Record.

Beating the Draft

The Lamar Register this week en-
ters upon its thirty-second year
beating the draft out by whole year.
Only two other papers in the valley
east of Pueblo can show greater age
and continuous publication. The Las
Animas Leader is the daddy of them
all and has just completed its 44th
year-thirty-five of which have been
under the management of Editor John
A. Murphy. The La Junta Tribune
is in its 3Sth year, but has had fire.
quent changes of management. In the
whole eastern section of the valley
there are only three newspaper men,
who have been steadily in the harness
here for a period of more than .
quarter century. Mr.. Murphy of course
has rounded out his 35th year, and
both the editors of the Register and
Sparks at Lamar have been coatir-
uously in the business in this section
for thirty years, over twenty-five OF
which have been spent in their pres
cnt positions. We have seen many
ups and downs happan to our beautiful
city of Lamar, but have never loc-
faith in the final outcome and today
believe stronger than ever that city
of fifteen thousand will in 4 few years
be situated on the Lamar townsite.

ARMY REGISTRATION
Prowers County Almost Reaches Mark
Set by Government Officials, and
Counting Men Now Enlisted
Passes Ii

The government census bureau is
sued an estimate for the guidance of
registration boards showing estimated
population of each county and num-
Der that should be registered. Of
course no account was taken of those
already in the service. Prowers coun-
ty's estimate was 1887 and on Tues
day the registration reached 1415 and
there are nearly $50 of the citizens
of the county already in the navy and
army.
The great disparity of registration
in Lamar and Holly precincts is large
ly caused by the fact that so many of
the young men of the two towns arc
already enlisted. There are nearly
one hundred of Lamar's young men
The Lamar register., 1917-06-06
The Farmers and the Liberty Loan

One aspect of sthe $1,000, ,000, 900
loan, the Liberty Loan of 1917, that
the farmers of America may well con-
slider is that a very great portion of
the money raised by the bond issue
will come directly into the pockets of
the farmers Of the nation.
All of the money advanced to our
allies will be expended in the United
States and as they are making all of
their own munitions practically all
of the money advanced TO them will
be spent for products Of the farm-for
cotton for clothing and high explos-
ives, wool for clothing and leather
for shoes; but by far the greater part
of the money loaned to our allies will
be expended for food products.
In a few months the United States
will have under arms 100000 men
and 100000 reserves in training; so
including the navy there will be
1000 900 men that our government
will feed and clothe. This will make
the United States government by far
the largest single customer the farm
ers of America have.
The secretary of the treasury is
employing such methods in handling
the loan that no community will be
denuded of money by reason Of Lib
erty Loan Bond purchases The mon
ey will be left in local banks and as
the government purchases food and
supplies the money raised by the bond
issue will pass back into the pockets
of the people.
The farmers of the country should
susbcribe literally to the Liberty Loan
Bonds. They get the safest invest
ment in the world and their money
supplies their best customer the funds
to purchase their products. This is
political economy the wisdom Of which
is plain to everyone.
