High School

LOS Angeles, California has vii u ed that she will come to Hol
 brook as our Commercial Instruc . tor and Penmanship Supervisor Mrs. Arnold is an experienced teacher, has had considerabl,
 office training, and speaks Span ish. As good Commercial tea chers are as scarce as the pro
 verbal hens teeth we consider ourselves very fortunate in SC. curing Mrs. Arnold's services. The largest Teachers Agencies in the United States have tele- graphed Supt. Gallagher that the demand for Commercial tea. chers is far greater than the SUD- ply. The war has affected us in this as in every other way.
 The Kewanee water tank was damaged in transit and leaks, thereby putting our water sys- tenn outof commission temporari- ly. The contractors have been notified and in the meanwhile the Board is doing everything Tn its power to relieve the unfortu- nate condition.
 Tho we have been waiting pa- tiently for the commercial tea cher, we have employed the time on other subjects. Some of the students have a fairly good start in their Spanish. others are slow or bashful about speaking the language. We are afraid of our own voices when we hear them speaking any other but our mother tongue. Surely t h e study of any language isl void of it's full purpose if we do not gain a conservationai and speaking knowledge of it. Par ents and others who come into contact with the high school stu dents. may do much to help them if they will use Spanish ire quently in speaking to the stu dents. Many and lucrative are 7hS who Gs;tifb'T are able % fo speak a spaihfshe. You as part of the community can help these young people fill such positions.
 The girls in the cooking classes have purchased the material for their aprons and caps. Next week we hope to have them al- most finished, so that as soon as the cooking tables are finished we may begin Tn reality Ito bake and to brew"
 Thursday the boys had the training tools in their hands for the first time. They | tried to square a piece of board, endeavoring to saw exactly on a given line. Then they learned l how to surface a board evenly | and exactly.
 At assembly next Wednesday | Supt. Gallagher will talk to us. This week Miss Edwards gave one reading and two short musi- cal recitations. The recitations were greatly enjoyed. especially by the little folks.

Death of Mrs. Clark

Last Tuesday morning about ' o'clock Mrs. w. H. Clark died at her home in Holbrook, after a long illness. The deceased had been a sufferer from asthma for years; for the last year she had been confined to her bed a consi. derable part of the time. Dur ing thls period she had sought relief in sanitariums in Los An geles and other cities, under the care of expert physicians. Her span of life was probably pro- longed by medical skill but only temporarily, and. death came Tuesday morninf to relieve her suffering.
 ed Wednesday morning in the Methodist church by Rev. J. M. White, Episcopal minister of Winslow. They were attended by a large number of friends and neighbors, many of whom sent handsome floral tributes. Burial was in the Holbrook cemetery.
 Mrs. Clark and her husband, who survives her, were pioneers of Holbrook, coming here from the east in 1888. They were identified with the growth of the town and eyer occupied a warm place in the hearts of their neighbors, who were also their friends.
 In the death of Mrs. Clark the entire community has suffered a great loss; she was a woman of sterling character, a good neigh bor and a kind friend.
 The sympathy of the whole community is extended to the sorrowing husband, whose loss of a devoted helpmate is irreprr- able.

Arkansas Valley Fair

Not in the % years Of successful
agricultural fairs conducted by the
Arkansas Valley Fair Association has
there been year when every condi-
tion looked so favorable for a real
farmers festival as at the present
time.
The first Duroc-Jersey futurity to
be held in Colorado will be staged at
this fair and already ten Of the best
herds Of this breed in the state are
entered for the big purses offered by
the National Duroc-Jersey Record As
sociation. Other breeds will be repre-
sented in good numbers and there is
every prospect that the exhibit Of
swine will surpass anything Of the
kind ever held in the state.
The exhibit Of fruit and vegetables
will be larger than ever.
Among the larger exhibits Of live

stock of all kinds will be that Of the
American Beet Sugar company, who
are this year planning to show ii the
fair the pick of all their registered
stock from all their ranches in the
valley and an inspection of the ex-
hibits this year will give a good idea
of the great improvement that is be
ing made in live stock of all kinds.
The exhibit of poultry will be much
larger than in previous years as the
show will combine that usually made
by the fair association with that of
the Arkansas Valley Poultry Associa-
tion of Colorado which latter associa-
ton has AIDED greatly to the value Of
the trophies to be offered.
Negotiations are in progress witt
one of the largest amusement com
panies on the road and the grounds
will be alive night and day.
Many new features vii be added to
the program this year. Preparations
are being made for a wild west show
that promises to equal the frontier
day celebration in Cheyenne. Cowmcn
and women, true Representatives of
the Old West, will be here in large
numbers. There will be roping, rough
riding, bronx busting, steer bull
dogging and all kinds Of western
sports. This feature of the fair is
expected to be one Of the biggest
drawing cards this year and the fair
board is working hard 10 make il a
truly representative wild west show.

GOVERNMENT CROP ESTIMATE
The July LIST Report Is Highly En-
Couraging To The People of All
the Allied Governments

The crop estimate issued by the de-
partmont Of agriculture for the frs
of July is a very encouraging docu-
ment for the people ell -ver the coun-
try and the allied nations rs well. 1t
shows also that Colorado farmers have
responded nobly 90 the plea Of the ma
tional government for greater crops.
This safe has increased cv'ly crop
materially over last year. The grain
crops show an increase n Colorado of
nearly 20 per cent or nine million
bushels. Potatoes also show a 20 per
cent gain; hay indicates an increase
of so per cent, and sugar beets also
will make a big gain. In the country
at large present indications point to
a billion bushels larger grail crop
than last year Nearly half of this
big increase will be corn, but wheat,
oats, rye and barley all show big
gains. Potatoes, rice, sugar bcets,
sweet potatoes, and other valuable
food crops show like increases for the
whole country. The only highly es-
sential crops which at the present time
show any Losses over last season are
hay and apples. The present condi-
ton Of both Of these important crops
shows great improvement ard it is
believed there will be at least a nor
NAL crop of each. Each Of the grain
crops with the exception Of winter
wheat gives promise Of approaching
and in some cases exceeding the ma
tional record. Winter wheat represents
the only big loss Of the country in
this hour Of great need, and it Is be
lieved and hoped that our people will
meet this failure in g-cat messur by
using as far as possible the products
Of other grains in their daily diet.
The spring wheat will make the to-
tai wheat crop little larger than last
year, but the almost entire disap-
pearanca Of the usual surplus from
the previous seasons crop mrkes thc
available supply much smaller this
year. This can be overcome by using
in a larger degree the other grcins

GET A FLAG THAT WILL NOT
FADE
We Insult National Colors When We
Display Faded Emblem

Almost rs much of an insult 70 the
flag as dragging it in .he mud IS to
allow it to become d-enched with rain
and have the colors run until the
stars and stripes resemble futurist
sunset. 1t is the cheap flag which
is most easily spoiled by sun and
weather. The colorS make no pre-
tension Of being fast" except in
leaving the fabric. Most bunting is
particularly sensitive to the pre5ance
of water, and parts with its color on
the slightest excuse. Pay = good
price and get a good flag. One large
flag is much more effective than Il
hundred small ones, and is much more
durable and easily cared for. II one
cannot afford to buy the better rnd
more expensive flags, by all means
get a flag Of some oort, but try 70
keep it dry. 1t has been suggested thai
the U. S. government make end srll
all United States flags, just is it sells
postage stamps. This plan would
seem to insure one of obtaining good
quality flags practically at cost.-C.

Little Women" Is Genuine Play

Little Women" the play to be pro-
duced at the chautauqua, is attracting
crowded houses wherever it appears.
The FL Paso Morning Times said Of
it:
"Theatergoers who were fortunate
enough yesterday to join the throng
that Graves amusement and attended
the presentation of LouiSa Alcott's
Little Women" by the Rcdpath
Chautauqua company are congratulat-
ing themselves today. Few perform
ances Of any kind have been presented
in Fl Paso which have been better
cast and more keenly deserving Of
praise for splendid acting.
"Jo," the masculine type of lovablc
independent woman, whose writing
ability supports the family of girls,
as well as a philosopher father, whose
thinking does not bring in weekly
pay check, is the leading spirit Of the
play. Her sacrifices for her invalid
sister, Beth, and her disguircd love
for an old German professor are the
themes which bring the home play in
to a successful climax. The part Of
the professor was admirably handled.
Even in these days when German
types and words are not calculated to
bring forth hurrahs, the delineation
Of character and remarkable accuracy
Of infection brought to the mind, the
superb acting of David Warwick or
Lewis Mann.
Little Women" is almost as plot
less as a musical comedy, but there
is an intensity Of interest and genu-
ineness Of humanity about it that
makes a strong appeal. 1t is one Of
those extremely wholesome plays such
as William A. Brady seeks that makes
it succeed. And in these days Of
Theda Baras and Louis Glaums end
revivals Of forgotten melodramas, 1t
is fortunate that really worth while
ideas and ideals have a strong heart
appeal

NO MORE WATER SHORTAGE
Danger of Shortage In City's Water
Supply Has Been Safely Passed

With the rains of the past week
all over the Clay Greek water shed
the danger of the city of Lamar be
ing forced to the use of the alkali sur
face water to augment the regular
supply has been safely passed. The
water supply which had been gradual
ly lowered until only n little over one
hundred gallons per minute was flow
ing into the system, is now increased
to over five hundred gallons. The city
is receiving all that the peopl" care
to use and the restrictions tnat have
for several weeks been in force have
been removed. Everybody can use it
freely and when they want 1t. The
old reservoir has been filled up, and
two hundred gallons per minute are
now flowing into the new reservoir.
With the filling of the new reservoir,
Of another shortage this year will have
disappeared as the two reservoirs
alone would hold enough water TO last
two months without aay help from
the direct supply line. The direct line
has never, since being laid QUO Of
pipe capable Of holding the water,
failed TO carry more than enough wat
er for all the peoples needs outside
Of springling lawns and iiTigating
gardens. There will therefore always
be shis large supply to depe@d upon
to lpplement the storage water and
it will be ample 20 carry the city
through any drcuth that We have ever
had here, since Lamar was establish
cd. Our city now has by far the best,
surest and moct economical water
supply Of any Of the Arkansas valley
towns. 1t is the purest according 10
reports Of government chemists, COM
ing out Of the ground as it does makes
it cold like spring water, and IS it
flows into town by gravity pressure it
is handled in the cheapest manner pos
sible. 1t also has sufficient f;ll from
the reservoirs down TO the city TO give
it ample pressure even for thu needs
Of the fire department, in feet the
pressure is much greater than it ever
was under the pumping system. 1t
has been long and costly struggle
but the end has justified the expeid-
iture.

MAJOR f. d. HOUSEHOLDER
Restored to Rightful Rank But Trans
ferred to Second Regiment

Captain Z. d. Householder YVES this
week reappointed TO the rank of ma
jor, the position from which he was
unjustly forced year ago. While all
his friends and neighbors in Lamar
rejoice that at last a part OF the
wrong done him has been repaired,
yet it is with regret they learn that he
has been transferred to the second
regiment almost on the eve Of his own
regiment sailing to France. He has
done more than any other man to re-
cruit the first battalion of the first
regiment and as much rs anyone to
bring them up to tEa present high
state of efficiency. Company d cs-
pccially has ben completely recruited
under him and the boys are all his
special friends and acquaintance. 1t
is therefore a general sourcc of re-
gret that he should have beeh sranC-
ferred to the other regiment, ospcc-
tally as he was the ranking officer of
the first regiment next to Maj'r Ham
rock who was recently made colonel.
1t will be fortunate when the n. tioral
guard finally gets mustered iEto tn g.,
regular army and political pull will
have to give way for efficiency.

DO YOUR FULL DUTY AND DO 1T
CHEERFULLY
Every Citizen Owes 1t To His Coun-
try To Cheerfully Give All Pos
sible Information To The
Government At This
Time

The United States government Is
now up against one Of the mcsu SER
ious crises in its history and svcry
citizen, who .G patriotic and alivs 10
his own best interests as well as his
country's, will now use every possible
means of assisting in The work OF
bringing the nation through the caisis
triumphant. No matter wlLsr your
previous views were as regards the
necessity of getting into the war, the
thing TO be considered now IS that We
arc in it. To be defeated would mean
ruin and almost slavery 70 each citi-
zen, so right or wrong he only .hirg
for an American or wen a sensible
man to do is to stand up for his gov
ernment and do the bast that is ia him
for It's success.
We are not all able to go to The front
and the country could not afford tc let
US if VIC could Premier Lloyd George
OF England made tn v0ry truthful
statement at the beginning of the WIZ
that it would be the las: half billio1
dollars that won the war. 1t is as
much in he fields, factories and bank
ing houses as on the battlaf' ldS that
this war is being fought. l: is ab
solutely essential in this correction
that the government should know in
advance just what it can depend upon
in these respects. 1t should therefor
be regarded as patriotic duty by all
good citizens to give the government
every available bit Of information that
they have. This is a small matter,
but may be big item in carrying on
the war If all citizens will earnestly
try to do their full duty.
The national survey committee is
now trying to get an estimate Of just
what the available food supply 10 to
be this winter, how much we will need
ut home and how much we can send
our allies. No more important in
formation could be given at this time
to aid in the prosecution of the war.
So important is it that Germany has
honeycombed the country with spies
to get the same information. The
county war council has been appealed
to by the national body to assist in
this connection, and Chairman Novels
of the crop committee has just mailed
blanks to all the farmers whose names
he could get asking them to report en-
their crops on the blanks. A stamped
return envelope accompanied the
blank and it is hoped every farmer
receiving one will at once reply with
all the information he can give. As
many names may have been missed,
don't get offended if you did not re-
ceive one. 1t was merely failure to
get your name among thousands. So
be a good citizen and make a report
and mail it to Mr. Novels anywry. He
is serving without pay for the good
Of the country and doing many times
the work you will be required to do
to give the information. All members
Of the board serve without pay, and
each citizen should render them every
assistance possible. Remember an &c
curate report from every farm in the
United States right now would be
worth more to the prosecution Of the
war than a great victory in the
trenches.
