The army and navy uniform is seen
rather unfrequently upon the streets
of Prowers county towns, but at that
several cases have been observed
where il (or uniform too closely
resembling III was worn Illegally.
The National Defense Act Of June
3. 1916, covers the situation at great
length. Boiled down, it provides that
no man not actually an officer or en-
listed man of the army. navy or
marines shall wear the uniform or any
distinctive part of it, with certain eN-
eeptions: u) National Guard and
Home Guard members may wear their
duly prescribed uniforms, when neces-
sary in the discharge of their duty;
(2) The Boy Scouts and other recog-
nized organizations may wear 'heir
uniforms; (3) Honorably discharged
soldiers. sailors, or marines may, upon
occasions of ceremony, wear the uni
form of the highest rank they have
held; (4) Honorably discharged sold
iers, sailors, or marines may wear
their uniforms from the pia;c Of dis
charge to their homes within three
months (5) Instructors and cadets IN
duly authorized schools offering conrs-
es in military instruction may while
in attendance upon such course OF
instruction, wear the uniform pre-
scribed for their use, and 90 Inc
uniform may be worn upon the stage
or in the production of motion picture
films while the wearer is actually en-
gagged in representing therein mill
tary or naval character not tending 10
bring discredit or reproach upon the
service.
Violation Of this act is punishable
by fine of 5000 or imprisonment not
TO exceed six months, or both.
1t has been held by some that the
use of khaki or olive drab cloth is
within the inhibition Of this statute
when made up in the style Of uni
form. In any event it should be dis
couraged as particularly reprehensive
at this time.

NEW REGISTRATION
Ninety Young Men Added9o Prowers'
County List of Registrants.
Total

The above figures represent the new
names added to the Prowers county
list of registrants this week by the
registrars appointed by the local board
for the purpose. The number is some
what under the government estimate
of ten per cent of the former registra-
ton, which would be l43, but a large
mart of this difference is made up OF
the young men who have already en-
listed without waiting for the draft.
There have been nearly a dozen OF
these in the past two weeks, besides
many others in the past year. The
new names will be added to the list
as they are classified Most of them
will go in Glass and defer the date
of breaking over into Class 2.

Railroad brakemen and conductors
will soon be uniformed in khaki, un-
less the plans of Director General Nc

clothing expenses of the men them
selves, and it will be a further step
toward putting the railroad system on
a military footing.

If you would combine patriotism
with a genuine good time come to La
mar on July 4th.
If you would spend a little money
for the Rcd Cross and at the same
time get full value received in fun
and wholesome entertainment, be one
of the thousands of Colorado and
Kansas people who will join with La
mar in a patriotic celebration of the
Nations birthday.
Lamar promises to exceed all pre-
vious records on the "4th" this year.
Many are the plans that are being
whispered about. An auction with
everything from one-eyed horses to
marriage licenses among the goods to
go under the hammer; minor sports
and tug-o-war in the morning; and
a genuine street carnival on Main
street with every cent going to the
local chapter of the American Red
Cross-these are some of the plans.
The Lamar boosters are speaking
early in order to preempt the date.
They ask all their neighbors to be
their guests and to help make this
an event of note.

No credit is allowed for navy enlist
ments or for members of a national
guard company which was already in
service when war was declared. There
were As men in Co. d at that time,
and the navy enlistments are known
to be more than $50, so the estimate
is conservative.

FAIL TO GERMANIZE HOLLAND
Dutch Character Has Successfully Re-
sisted All Efforts Made by Its
Powerful Neighbour.

That Germany covets Holland is no
diplomatic or other secret. Everybody
knows it. Considering the Dutch char
acter and pride in national independ-
ence which they have manifested ever
since the Dutch language assumed final
shape as evidence of distinct national
ity, it has seemed best to the Hohen-
zollerns to proceed by peaceful means,
among which none is more patent than
intermarriage among influential fam
lilies. And especially there is desired
marriages of German princes and
princesses into the House Of Orange,
which for some centuries, either as
Stockholders or kings, has been the gov
erning head of the Dutch state.
There has been great success in Sc
curing German marriages. The mother
of Queen Wilhelmina was a German
princess and her husband is a German
prince.
But, while there has been success in
securing German husbands or wives
for the House of Orange, the assimila-
ton has been from. German into Dutch
and not from Dutch into German. We
recall no German prince or princess
who has married into the House of
Orange who has not turned out to be
as loyal a Dutchman or DutchWOman
as the most ardent HOllander could de-
sire, observes the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
The fact is that the sturdy Dutch
character persists from generation to
generation and forms one Of the most
distinctive types of the human species.
This is not because the German rulers
have not constantly tried to mold it
over, but because they have failed to
do SO.
And the modern Germans are
impatient that they have dallied so
long with peaceful means and are for
taking by force what they cannot get
otherwise.

Success With Substitutes

To use the substitute fours sue
cessfully is a greater necessity this
summer than ever before, now that
the supplyIof wheat flour is still
further reduced. The home econ
omics department has found out
through experiments with the sub
stitutes, many of them the results
of questions from housekeepers,
these facts concerning the substitute
fours:
/. Combinations of substitutes
produce more satisfactory results
than does a.single substitute. Corn,
oats and barley flour is particular
ly good combination.
2. Soda added to barley bread
dough in the proportion of l tea
spoon soda to cups of barley flour
will destroy the bitter, acid taste
usually called the barley taste"
3. One substitute bought in rs or
