zens of this county as a war council

The board of county commissioners
are fully awake to the great crisis
now confronting the nation the real
gravity of which seems to be unknown
to the people in general. The daily
press is continually bringing before
the American people the condition of
world crops which information must
cause every American citizen to be-
, come fully alive to the situation and
assist in the greatest possible man
ner to augment the food production for
the year 1917.
The board of county commissioners
will meet with the war council and
render every possible assistance in
completing the organization of the
council and to carry on its work.
Among the many duties to be perform
ed by the council is the securing of
increased acreage of all crops yet to
be planted; the procuring and provid-
ing of the necessary seeds and farm
machinery; the marketing and DISPOSE
ton of all crops; the securing and dis
tribution of necessary labor; the in.
creasing of all dairy and poultry pro
ducts; the preservation, canning anc
drying of all fruit and vegetable crops
and to disseminate all useful inform
alton assisting in the above named OBJ
jects.
There can be no question but wha
this action on the part of the boarC
of county commissioners will b.
heartily endorsed by every citizen o.
Prowers county and all appeals of thu
war council of food supply should re
ceive a responsive reply from ever!
citizen and inhabitant of this county
The duties to be performed are Of
vast importance and no other com
pensation comes to the members Of
the war council other than the lnowl
! edge Of patriotic duty well and fully
performed.

Knights and Ladies of Security Or
ganization viii Build National
Home

The national organization OF knights
and Ladies of Security, 4 prosperous
Iraternal society, has decided to build
q national home for the old members
and widows and orphans. Colorado
of course is the natural location for
any institution of the kind, and a
committee headed by Governor Cap
per of Kansas has been investigating
different localities that might be Sc
lected. A session was held |; st week
at Pueblo and Grover l.. Carrico went
up to represent Lamar. He gave the
committee all the facts regarding the
advantages possessed by our city and

dred members here are working to
secure the institution f or this section.
The community selected will be ex-
pected to furnish 800 acres of land
and the national organization expects

tablishing the home. Mr.. Carrico re-
ports that the organization is entaus-
lastic and active end the home will be

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE
SUN
Assessor A. ]. Davy Has An Expert
ence That Puts the Old Proverbs
To Sleep

With the human race thousands of
years old, and several thousand years
of recorded history to draw from, it
has long been N accepted fact that a
man could expect no really new ex-
perience while travelling through this
vale of tears, stonebruises and taxes.
However, Assessor A. J. Davy now
believes this theory is in the dis
card, because careful perusal of re-
corded history fails to include any
mention of an assessor running up
against the experience he has been
having the past week. 1t is claimed
that Rameses l when forced to pro
vide new spring millinery for his
harem of two thousand wives at one
time, had his assessment raised to
fool the pawnbrokers as TO the value
of his properly, but this is only ira
dition and recorded history is all that
we accept as facts.
Mr.. Davy has become accustomed
TO hearing kicks about high assess
ments that when delegation from the
Webb neighborhood appeared before
him this week ne met them with .
determined air as the tax commission
had ordered no reductions. When the
committee calmly demanded that their
assessments be increased several
times our usually self possessed as
SCISSOR almost collapsed. He explained
to them that while he would like to
let them contribute all they wanted
to the county yet it would be hardly
fair to their neighbors as the tax
commission would promptly raise all
other dry land to the $50 per acre
asked by the committee, and it might
be just possible that many Of them
were not so enthusiastically in favor
of donating extra tax money to the
county. 1t developed that It was not
any philanthropic desire to boost
Prowers county's funds that animated
the committee, but the fact that nc
loans could be obtained from the farm
loan banks except on the basis Of
assessed value. 1t would be agreeabl:
to the assessor and commissioners ant
other taxpayers to accept the extr;
money and accommodate our Webb
brethren, if it was not for the fac
that it is well known that it woulC
increase the taxes Of every dry lande
in the county four fold. Already tn
state tax commission has been notific,
of the appeal and is after Mr.. Dav.
to raise all the dry land valuation
in the county. 1t is this phase Of tn
matter that makes it cerious end pre-
vents it being the greatest jok. of tn
century.
The commissioners are In session
this week and they will have an op
portunity to take part in the mos
original situation that has ever arisei
in governmental circles.
