the tea wagon, while Jane went to
assist her with the pouring. The men
soon had their cups, and the gen.

themselves with Woodhouse sitting be-

gruff geniality, launched a question:

"After a fashion. yes" Woodhouse

MASONIC BANQUET
Lamar MasOns Observe Washington's
Birthday in Appropriate Manner

Masons and their ladies' TO the num-
Der Of nearly two hundred gathered
ut the Masonic Temple last Thursday
evening to celebrate Washington's
birthday in appropriate manner. A
short musical program rendered by
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Holbert and l.. j.
Boring was much enjoyed, after which
Chairman Judge Doughty introduced
the speaker of the evening, Mr.. Chas.
H. jacobson of Denver, grand secre-
tary of all the grand Masonic bodies
of Colorado. Mr.. Jacobson, who is
one of the ablcst speakers of the state,
delivered a most entertaining, in
structive and eloquent GRAFTON on the
life of Washington and the effect Of
his work in making possible the Amer
lea of today. 1t was treat to all
present and MIR. jacobson WIS given
the warm reception with which he is
always greeted by Colorado Masons,
and especially in Lamar. He was ac-
companied by Mrs. jacobson and they
were the guests Of honor for the even

licious banquet was served in the
banquet room, and all were loud in
their praise Of the committee on ar
rangements for their efficient and ar
tistic work The tables and hall were
beautifully decorated in the national
colors, and many Of the refreshments
we're in the colorr and shapes ap-
propriate to the day. After the ban

History of the Horse Reaching Its
Finale

Can you take a lead pencil in hand
and calculate when the last horse will
be seen in st. Louis? Yet such a
day must arrive. Every year shows a
decline in the number of licenses is
sued for vehicles drawn by horses.
There are 300 fewer in 1917 than in
1916; and the number Of motor IL
censes is nearly twice as great.
The last horse is following the last
horse car, relic of an antiquated age.
rhe pavements are no longer designed
for equine footing. Asphalt has been
the horses terror, and now many cities
are introducing cement, which is even
more perilous, offering no purchase"
at all to the metal shoe and perfect
rink in icy weather.
The pedestrian will outlast the horse
but he also may become a tradition
when everybody is on wheels-not
necessarily automobile wheels. A
small, individual vehicle may come in
to being, on which those who do not
care to be in groups can go about
The horse will be seen in the coun-
try only, as the sheep and the COW,
and there, too, the tractor is making
him not indispensable. II he has
served his master long, his age of
emancipation is coming, which, alas,
for him. may be also his elimination,
though probably not his extirpation.
There will be a great many ZOOS in
the country to keep him from becom-
ing extinct. And the horse doesn't
seem to care. Haven't you noticed

But With All Its Foam It's Never

like to 60 to Denver, and put up
at the hotels, where clerks and fun
keys render service fit for blooded
swells; where men and women gather
to see the two-plunk shows, where
jitneys and electrics stand in long
and endless rows; where the fun is
for the many, not just for the lone
some few, and you pay for linen ra-
ther than for grub you get to chew.

FUEL VALUE" OF FOODS
Normal Appetite Indicates About the
Proper Kind and Amount of Food
One Should Have

In the body the quantity Of heat
developed from a given food does not
necessarily agree with the theoretical
amount. Defective absorption or as
similation will reduce the actual
amount Of energy derived from a Civ
en- form OF food However, the aver
age active person in good health will
utilize the bulk Of the total available
energy in a food Dietary studies too
frequently overlook the individual diff
ferences in ability 10 digest and as
simiIate foods 1t is difficult to draw
gcneralizations, as the average is so
elusive and hard to define. Most Of
US eat what we like and what agrees
with US. Most Of US also eat more
than we need for the kind Of life we
are living. And many people decid-
edly over-eat to their great detriment.
1t is really much better to be rather
hungry, than not. The psychology in
volved in a system Of diet is rather
complex, yet it should be properly al
lowed for. The necessity for dieting
could be reduced in most cases, by
plenty Of exercise, to the mere natural
craving, for food that one likes and
just satisfies one. Diseased persons
very often require a carefully planned
diet. Many Of these same persons
have become diseased, almost solely
through over-eating, or from lack of
exercise, or from lack of care of the
teeth. When one is in good health,
and has good teeth, and gives the
whole body sufficient exercise, ones
natural appetite is satisfied by just
about the right amounts of the diff
ferent kinds Of foods one likes. And
these amounts will be found to be
surprisingly close to the amounts one
would be allowed in the most scienti-
fically constructed diet.-C. f. Vail,
Colorado Agricultural College, Fort
Collins, Colorado.

sanitary for sheep, and an Eden for
mules.
This territory of two hundred and
fifty thousand square miles, is larger
than the Empire of Germany, and its
waste lands are entirely absent from
the standpoint of practical uses. To
him who has seen this territory de
veloped to its present fruition, it is
impossible to resist a prophecy rs to
its future. Its entire development has
occurred during the life of many of
our business men, still in the prime Of
their manhood, and business ard COM
mercial activities. Only a portion Of
its lands are utilized and vast areas
are still used for ranges, and here we
might repeat what we have said many
times before, that what the territory
needs is "a million men, not % work for
others, but to work for themselves.
Industries are locating year by year,
and the day is dawning when manu-
featuring will be one Of the leading
occupations Of the people. Opportun-
tiles abound on every hand and he who
selects his occupation in accord with
his natural adaptibilitics, has a future
for success just us certain as time
With all the tremendous profits that
are made by the people, there are still
opportunities for profitable invest

of entrance to this magnificent valley
are never closed, but are always open,

There is no doubt Of the legal right

Its Gates Are Ever Open

So much has been said Of the great
ness of the Arkansas valley, that it
may seem that there is nothing more
left to be said, but it is growing fast
in population and wealth, and is de-
veloping in resources so rapidly and
its cities and towns are increasing in
population and facilities which make
them good places in which to live,
that the whole might be illustrated by
the changes of a kaleidoscope, as
every turn of old Father Time brings
added greatness. This great region,
eight hundred miles long and from
one hundred to two hundred miles
wide. is destined beyond the perad-
venture of doubt, to be the rrcatest
inland territory of the world. To the
west, it is the home of alfalfa, the
greatest forage plant of all Of earth's
flora. where the sugar beet grows and
thrives with an unsurpassed sugar

WASHINGTON NOTES


War, Prosperity and High Frices
Economically speaking, there is
no doubt at all that the great rise in
prices in the United States, which
has been the true source of our re-
markable industrial prosperity, has
been due primarily TO an increase in
the export demand FOR the products Of
our industries from about per cent
to the total volume of those products
to some 10 or ~ per cent-this in
crease being almost exclusively in
products required for war uses. -
Arthur Richmond Marsh, editor Of the
Economic World. But President viii
son demanded an appropriation Of
100000 70 investigate the cause.
4 Procrastinating Secretary
Naval officers at Washington are
not rcassurcd by the course which
Secretary Daniels has been pursuing
in the face Of the German crisis He
has appeared willing, even anxious, TO
forward all measures which would
permit him to spend more money and
TO exercise larger power; but he has
displayed a remarkable reluctance to
utilize his existing authority to mobil-
ize the naval force Of the country in
anticipation Of hostilities. Mr.. Daniels
evidently still clings to the Bryanic
theory Of millions Of men springing TO
arms over night in the event Of a
national necessity, and he carries this
grotesque theory over into the sea,
where he evidently thinks it possible
to assemble widely scattered naval
units in a breath's time.
Sugar as Balm
A German army surgeon uses sugar

Not Eulogist of Lincoln
This country has been surfeited with
bosh comparing President Wilson with
Abraham Lincoln. 1t is to be observ-
ed, however, that the alleged pocket
edition Of Honest Abe has never
sought an opportunity TO pay a tri-
butte to the most essentially and great
est American mind this country has
yet produced, although he is peren-
nially prepared to lay a wreathe at
the feet Of Jackson and Jeffersor.

YAMBA MEETING
Opera House Well Filled Monday
Evening by Enthusiastic Members

A large crowd of members Of the
Lamar Y. NJ. B. A and friends was
present at the opera house Monday
evening when President l.. NJ. Mark
ham called the meeting of the asso-
citation to order The first thing on
the program was hearing the report
of the members who attended the
road opening ut Canadian, Texas,
early in February. Among those max
ing short talks were l.. NJ. Markham,
X. L. Christy, C. Floyd Cook, Glen
kirkpatrick, Jesse c. Johnston and A.
L. Beavers. All spoke in the highest
terms of the country through which
they travelled and the hospitality of
the people. Especially the open hand
ed spontaneous hospitality Of the citi-
zens of Canadian, whore the town was
simply thrown wide open 10 receive
and entertain all visitors. The COM
mittee reported that the markers for
the highway had been ordered, and
work was progressing all al rg the
route of the Dallas-C -Canadian-Dcnve
highway that would ensure its being
opened up as a most valuable aid to
travel and business for Lamar this
season. The markers will be so thor
oughly advertised that the attempts
of some Kansas towns to induce tour
lists TO go away round to reach those
places will be of no avail. Chas. II.
Wooden, second vice-president Of the
National Association, made a few
modest and sedate remarks on the
subject of good roads and what La
mar would do this year in the line Of
entertaining visitors. He was follow
ed by Tom Sayler with a few well
chosen words as to hospitality have
met" end the best methods of enter
tanning. All agreed that the new
road in many respects would prove
one Of Lamar's most valuable assets.
The subject of the big fair md wild
west carnival on August 2S, 29 and
80, and the national convention at the
same time was discussed, and talks
were made by the manager for the
fair. L. NJ. Markham, Chas. Maxwell,
owner Of the grounds, and most ex-
perienced fair man in the valley, and
a number of others. All were en-
thusiastic over the prospects for both
the fair and convention, and letters
are being received daily from all sec
tions of the country showing great
interest in the coming convention and
the organization Of new Y. NJ. B.
Clubs which expect TO be represented
here. Pueblo is getting into the game
and will have a new Y N. b. Club
right away, arrangements being al
ready completed for its organization
and they will be ready to do their
share towards the entertaining Of the
national convention. Several speakers
mentioned the idea which will be one
of the features of convention week,
and that is the biggest chuck wagon
dinner served anywhere in America.
The meeting lasted until eleven o'clock
and all present we're enthusiastic over
the prospects for Lamar and the Y.
NJ. B. A.
A vote of thanks was unanimously
rendered the management of the La
mar opera house for the use of the
big hall to hold this meeting.
