HIGH SCHOOL BOYS oUTCLASS-

Big Eleven From Fort Lyon Too Much
for Lamar High School, But the
Latter Make Good Fight

The football season opened in La
mar last Saturday afternoon with 4
practice game between the Lamar
Savages and the hcavy-wcights OF
Fort Lyon. The Sailors had team
that weighed on the average over go
pounds more than the Lamcr boys,
and most of the visitors were season
cd college football players. The Saw
ages in spite Of the handicap made &
game fight and were able to make
many good gains, pounding the heavy
line of their oppononts-aevcr bu,
once, however, did they get near
enough to the Sailors goal line to
look like a score was possible. With
the wealth OF material now at the
Fort the Sailors had eighteen men in
uniform and were able at all times to
keep fresh team in the field Will,
the Lamar boys played the same tear
until the injury to Bob Ford just ono
minute before the final whistle blew.
The Sailors made six touchdowns bu'
were only able to kick one goal, :.
the score was 81 to 0. Tho Fort al
ways sends down a bunch of gooC
sports and it is a pleasure to play
with them. They win and lose lik,
gentlemen-never get grouchy wher
they lose and don't rub il in too hard
when they win. They had a good
crowd of rooters along, but the only
advantage they took Of their big score
was a mild sort of joshing that took
all the vim out Of the high school yell
brigade The latter made several
valiant starts, but the situation was
too much and they could not produce
the pep. Considerable practice in this
line is needed to produce proper re-
suits.
The Savages are made up almost
entirely of new material this year
Only one regular of last years cham
pions remains and three substitutes
from that team. However they show
all the spirit and vim Of that bunch
and with little more practice will
make another champion team. They
tackled the heavy players Of the op-
posing team without any hesitation.
and at all times were playing a good
team work They simply lacked the
weight to drive through the heavy
line. They had only been drilled q
few days and were somewhat inclined
to tumble the ball, but will rapidly
round into form for the opening of
the league schedule on October goth.
They will probably go to Syracuse
next Saturday for a practice game.
The Sailors are deemed a worthy op-
ponent for Colorado College and will
play that team at Colorado Springs
next Saturday using the same team
that played here.
La Junta and Holly high schools
dropped out Of football this season and
Ration entered making a five-team
schedule.
At the recent meeting Of the sched-
ulc committee Of the Southern Colo
rado-Northern New Mexico League
the following high schools entered
teams for the coming season: Lamar

Miss Bernice Mccoy, State Superin-

THE war cloud looms big on the

une from New York where she is in

THE university students have been

When one realizes that the city's reg
ular police force is composed of H.
900 well-trained and efficient men,
it makes him feel exceedingly uncom-
Portable to have the city call for an
force. / presume this IS
done because of the fact that bombs
have been found here and there over

SAYING PROMISED
In PRIMARY BILL
ALFRED MEASURE DESIGNED TO
CUT COST OF HOLDING PRIM-
AIRY ELECTIONS S71k PER CENT

The Alfred primary bill which ha
passed the house and is now in thu
senate, is causing great deal o
newspaper comment and discussion
and its progress is being watched
! with great deal of interest.
The bill promises a sweeping re-
duction in the cost of the Idaho prim-
airy over which there has been COM
plant ever since it's enactment. Fig
ures show that a primary election in
this state costs $112,220 Under the
to total of but $13,S4O for the entire
state, SO far as the taxpayers are con-
cerned. In other words the state will
save $98,380. Candidates will not be
required to pay for workers and con-
duct SO strenuous a campaign SO that
the cost to them will amount to thou
sands of dollars.
Here at glance is what the Alfred
bill provides: Does away with the
~ CoChC pa CNiASI oy olChi VI NOulty
judges and clerks and voting places at
primary election; substituting in their
place the county recorder who mails
the ballots with proper return receipt
acle envelopes and instructions to
qualified electors who are required to
mark their ballots and swear to them,
after which they are returned in the
receptacle to the county auditor; all
ballots issued are numbered and the
duplicate numbers checked on their
return; when they have all been re-
turned the county commissioners sit
ting as a board of canvassers canvass
the votes for all the county and an !
nounce the result.
The cost of holding a primary cleo
ion in Idaho under the present sys-
tenn is an average of $1.4O per vote.
Under the proposed bill the cost to
county of 10000 population will be SO
cents vote. For the more isolated
districts the cost per vote for some
counties is estimated at 500. Under
he Alfred bill the cost will be no
greater for the islated vote than to
he vote recorded in the most thickly
populated section. The advantages
lside from these to the candidates,
he reduction in the cost to the county
md the state and the more centralized
way of gathering the votes, will be
.reat to the rural population which
ften finds it difficult to get to the
oils, with the result the primary
lection will be much heavier under
he proposed plan than under the pres
mt system. In addition, it is claimed
he average voter not familiar with the
will be given an oppor-

wish to tell you how you made me
realize again that life is worth living.
When came from the Coast, had
lost one dearer to me than anyone else
in all the world-my mother. She
was little woman, very frail-her
blue eyes were dim and faded, her
hair white; but even when she-was
at the very end-her dear eyes sought
to ease my grief with the same look
you gave me as you bent over me
here and thought me fatally injured"
"Please!" begged the girl, choking
back sob. II do not deserve

Hardy went on In the same voice
of profound passion: "You lifted me
out Of the shadow of the Valley. You
came to me in my blank darkness. a
glorious light of divine goodness that
compelled me to see that all was not
wrong with the universe-that even
so great loss as mine might be for

"You restored my faith and hone"
he insisted. 1T would be selfish Of
me to ask anything more of you

1T would be useless-useless p she
cried.
He was too little versed In feminine
nature to realize that her vehemence
might indicate an effort to suppress
an inner doubt Of the assertion. Had
he been a few years younger, youth
full impetuosity might have won him
that which his reverent respect shrank
from urging. He had taken her
gloved hand. He pressed 1t to his lips,
and freed her.
Il shall not annoy You. DEAR" he
said. "Yet cannot take that as final.
I shall wait until he returns. Then
shall take my fighting chance"
'You will?" she whispered.
II shall not give ur until you have
pledged yourself to him. If 1 can, I
will prevent that. He cannot pos
sibly love you as love you. IF it is
possible to win you for my wife,

Marie quivered. and shrank from
him as if startled. "You say, when
