Victory Growing.

As the official returns from the
close congressional districts are COM
ing in the republican victory is con-
stantly growing. 1t is now certain
that 242 republicans were elected to
congress, giving majority of 40, and
there are five more districts yet un-
settled with a strong probability that
at least three of them will go to the
republicans. This gives fine work
ing majority in the lower house that
will insure that the reconstruction
legislation will not destroy any of the
new industries which the war condi-
tions have established in the country.
The senate remains as announced
republican by a vote of 49
to AZ. However, owing to the fact that
several of the members classed as re-
publicans or democrats are in reality
without any party ties whatever, the
of the senate may be hard
for either of the parties to accomplish.

The Ruling Passion.

The old saying about "the ruling
passion being strong in death" was
never better exemplified than in the
last report given out by the German
war office just as the empire was ex-
piring. The report announced a crush
ing defeat of the American troops who
were repulsed with great slaughter.
The American boys were only able to
capture n nine-mile strip along n
thirty-mile front that day, and take
ten thousand Hun prisoners. But re-
member they had been constantly at
it for six weeks and were a little tired.
The German war office kept the peo-
pie in Ignorance Of the real situation
for four years. Had the facts been
known at any time the government
would have been overturned in n
hurry.

"BLAME 1T ON THE TIRE"

He didn't pump it full enough-thougt
all the air is free;
He left it soft and spungy like, and
scooted on with glee;
He skidded and he gridded and whoop-
ed through dust and mire;
And when it burst
He cursed and cursed
And blamed it on the tire.
He drove it on the street ear tracks
with confidence superb;
He scraped it on the lamp posts and
he scraped it on the curb;
He slammed it and he jammed it any
way he might desire;
And when it popped
Right out he hoped
And blamed it on the tire.
He cut it on some broken glass and
said that didn't hurt;
He kept right on through sand and
mud and filled the cut with dirt.
1t spotted there and rotted there, and
soon he howled in ire;
When up it blew
He blew up too
And blamed ii onthe tire.
He put on chains that ground and
chewed and gouged into the tread;
He knew his wheels were out of line,
but what of that?" he said.
He whizzed along and sized along,
he picked up nails and wire.
And when it banged
His fist he whanged-
And blamed it on the tire.
Who is this man? Go ask the boys
who meet him every day.
Go ask the boys who have to hear the
things he has to say.
He bores in and he roars in with words
of angry fire.
Though he's to blame
It's all the same
He blames it on the tire.

FLU SITUATION
GROWING BETTER
New Cases Growing Smaller in Num-
ber AL the Time and Death List
is Smaller Than Hereto
lore.

Mayor Strain and the city and coun-
ty officials working with him are now
feeling much encouraged over the flu
situation in this vicinity. The number
of new cases is rapidly decreasing,
and many of the old cases are being
discharged as cured. At the Emerg-
ency hospital the number of patients
is now only about one-half what it
was at the highest point and twenty
less than it was a week ago. While
last Sunday showed the highest death
rate Of any single day Of the terrible
epidemic, the death rate since then
has fallen off to about the normal and
most Of the patients still sick are re-
ported to be improving. The terrible
depression that existed all over the
city has accordingly been greatly re-
lieved. and with brighter day dawn
ing all of our citizens feel encouraged.
That our people have passed through
a scourge worse than war itself has
been evident to all who have seen the
change in few weeks from a bustl-
ing city with crowded streets to the
quiet of a sleepy country village, and
this too in face of the most glorious
war news that the world has ever
known. Business in all lines felt the
effects of the common
dread, and all our stores and business
houses have been running most of the
time with half force-the rest be-
ing victims of the dread disease.
The news of the last few days has
been most encouraging in every re-
spect, but in no way is it so evident
as in the general spirit of the citizens.
While nearly all are mourning the loss
Of either relatives or friends the feel
ing Of dread seems almost miraculous

HELvETIA PAYS HIGH PRICES
Patrons Of the Lamar Condensery Get
Highest Price Paid Anywhere
for Their MIX.

The November price Of milk at the
Lamar condensery Of the Helvetia
Milk Condensing Co. is $s.6s per hun
dred. This is the highest price that
is paid anywhere for milk where feed
ing conditions are anywhere near
equal to those at Lamar, and our
dairymen are certainly lucky to have
the company that is willing to give
the producer his full share of the pro-
fits located where they can reach It
No other company operating in this
section Of the country ever pays more
than the Helvetia and it is only oc-
casionally when they want to make q
special showing that they even equal
the figures voluntarily put out by this
big concern. The Helvetia pays the
same price at all Of its condenseries
west Of Pennsylvania, and as feeding
conditions are much more economical
at Lamar than any Of the other plants
our farmers are the best off Of any
dairy farmers in the country.
The Libbey- y-McNeill condensery at
La Junta is paying $500 for Novem-
ber and this is much nearer the La
mar price than they usually come. The
famous Borden company producing the
Eagle brand have recently entered the
western territory with a condensery at
Fort Scott, Kansas, and they are only
paying $3.50 for November milk. Our
farmers are indeed lucky to have the
ideal conditions for producing the best
dairy feeds cheaply, mild winters for
their cows and the company that pays
the highest price for the product all
combined. All dairy sections of the
country soon become rich and the
boosting effect Of the great industry
on the bank deposits Of this section is
becoming more and more prominent
as the months 60 by.

STOP THE LEAKS IN
CROP PRODUCTION
Survey Shows That Farmers of State
Lost Heavily in 1917 Because
of SHUTS and Plant
Diseases.

As a result of a plant-disease sur
vey of Colorado conducted by The
Colorado Agricultural Experiment
Station in cooperation with the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry, U. S. Depart.
ment of Agricultural, the following
estimated reduction in yield of staple
crops due to plant disease in 1917
is given" says w. w. Robbins, of
the Colorado Agricultural College.
at is worthy of special note that a
large proportion of these losses are
preventable:
"ln 1917, Colorado raised 1884
O6l bushels of wheat. The loss from
bunt, loose smut, rusts and other
diseases was 1.356,659 bushels.

The Campaign in Lamar Like In Most
Of the Country Dragging Owing
To The Depressing Influence
of the Flu.

The work Of raising Lamar's big
quota for the war activities fund Is
progressing very slowly and for the
first time since the country entered
the great conflict it looks as IL our
city would not come forward with its
full amount. The fact that it Is i'm
possible owing to the flu situation to
hold public meetings or even make a
house to house canvass, and the added
fact that many Of the best workers
have been either sick themselves or
taking care Of those who are makes
the job Of the faithful ones who are
trying to raise the big sum of $4,000
here a hugh task. However, they are
working energetically and promise to
either succeed or at least come near
