Tact and Charm.

Dinner conversation offers the op-
portunity to eliminate all disagreeable
topics. To lay aside ones worries and
keep ones troubles from obtruding.
The same should be said Of all occa-
sions and good form particularly de-
notes that dinners, and formal dinners
at that, should be freed of personal
burdens retailed.
At all times give interest as well as
try to inspire 1t and one of the en-
phatic ways is to let the person who
happens to be speaking have your un-
divided attention. Attention and con-
centration amount to about the same
thing and should apply to what one is
oneself saying as well as hearing.

When to Shut Your Eyes.

In an article about Thomas Edison
In the American Magazine. William
Maxwell, the vice president Of the
Edison company, said:
"One bit of executive strategy that I
learned from Edison has stood me in
good stead dozen times. He had the
wise habit Of knowing when to shut
his eyes. There are times In every
organization when controversies arise
between even the most loyal and best
intentioned subordinates. Sometimes
II is the wisest thing for the man at
the top to know nothing whatever
about them, to let them work them
selves out. I learned n great many
years ago. said Lincoln. that in a
fight between man and wife, third
party should never get between the
woman's skillet and the mans Ak
helve.'"

LAMAR BOYS WIN.
High School Track Team Wins Big
Event of Valley at Rocky Ford
Last Saturday.

The Lamar high school track team
in charge of Coach Burgener and
Principal Shanner and accompanied by
most of the school faculty and many
students went to Rocky Ford last Sat
urday to take part in the annual val
ley high school track meet. They not
only took part but came very close to
taking the whole thing. Two banners
and three medals were brought back
as trophies of their prowess, and the
Lamar school comes nearer making a
clean sweep of the interscholastic
events than any school has ever done
before.
The banners brought back were for
the track and tennis doubles champion
ships; while the medals were for high
est individual score, one broken re-
cord and defamation. 1t was the first
time in the history of the valley league
that one school has won a clear ma
jority of all the points in the track
meet, and when it is considered that
five schoolE were entered this shows
a clear superiority that is unquestion-
ed. Robert Ford with 81 points to
his credit, took first honors of the
meet, winning four firsts, two seconds,
and one third. He broke the valley
record for the discus throw with a re-
cord of 11O #. in. The former re-
cord was his also. The hand grenade
throw which was new event was also
won by him although it was his first
attempt to throw the critters. He was
ably assisted by PRpl Stewasd With IA
points. Earl o'Donhel.isn .3ints,
and Donald Mclean WI y Joints.
Fred Clark made 8 and .sisn at Clark
1 point, bringing the Lamar total up
to 6s points. Lamar inlprovised n
track team after reaching Rocky Ford
and took second place in that event.
Saint George Hillyer and Ellsworth
Henkins won the tennis doubles
championship by defeating La Junta
and Rocky Ford pairs. The boys were
forced to play 63 games in these two
events and were too tired to enter in
the singles. Rocky Ford took both the
girls and boys singles.
In the evening the spelling, decla-
nation and oration contests were held
and Miss Leona Shanks took first in
defamation completing the list of La
mar triumphs for the day.
The track events were as follows:
50-yard dash-First, Ford, Lamar;
second, O'Donnell, Lamar; third, Ef-
finer, Rocky Ford; time 5 2-5 seconds.
