BIG BAND HERE.
341st Field Artillery Band from Camp
Funston Spends Day in Lamar.

The crack band of Camp Funston,
the 34lst Field Artillery Band, COM
posed entirely of Colorado boys, has
been out on three weeks campaign
for the Liberty Bond committee of
Kansas City district and covered u
large part of the state. They were
unable to reach this valley until the
campaign was over, but owing to the
splendid showing made in the valley
they decided to give few concerts
anyway They stopped Tuesday after
noon at Rocky Ford and Tuesday night
at La Junta, and as Prowers county
made the best showing of all counties
in the valley they gave Lamar con-
certs both afternoon and evening. The
boys arrived here on No. S at noon.
On the train they Were the center of
attraction as a few of them in going
through the train caught sight of a
Kaiser Wilhelm's hiresutc ornaments
to be pleasant for a khaki soldier to
look upon, and as the wearer proved
too unreasonable to cut it off himself
they took it off for him with the aid
of a pair of shears and much pro-
family on his part.
The band as an attraction proved
all that was claimed for it, and many
of the numbers were Of the highest
class. The drummer especially won
the hearts of the crowd with his inn
itation of train leaving the depot
bound for Berlin. All the numbers
were fine and the enthusiasm of the
crowd was shown in their hearty ap-
plause and the liberality Of the col
lection taken up for the Camp Fund.
The band chaplain, who was in charge,
made an earnest patriotic talk to the
people and warmly thanked them for
their liberality as he announced that
the Lamar collection was the largest
taken up on the road although they
had visited Denver. Pueblo, Colorado
Springs. and other large cities. The
collection here amounted to over five
hundred dollars.
The band boys were much pleased
with the town and all had invitations
to dinner in the evening, but the car
nival proved too great an attraction
for many of them and they spent the
dinner hour down there. They left at
midnight and go direct to the camp
as this was their last stop.

Many claim that they cannot milk
cows successfully without heavy sill
age or pulp feed Pulp and silage are
undoubtedly very important feeds for
dairying. Nevertheless, cows can be
held to a good flow of milk if these
feeds are not obtainable. Mr.. Henry
Of McClave ran out Of both pulp and
last trip but substituted feed OF
corn and bran. The cows have not
fallen Off to any extent and his herd
stands next to the two highest in the
average production. Mr.. Henry milks
at six o'clock both morning and even
ing. This regularity undoubtedly aids
in production.

So many say Eyes, I'd feed grain if
milk were higher and grain cheaper"
The price of milk has nothing to do
with the economy of grain feeding.
All that there is to be considered are
the price of grain and the way in which
the cow responds to that particular
ration. The results of testing associa-
tions all over the country show that
where grain is fec c. rCfully, using
scales and milk chart, it is the most
economical way to feed high produc-
ing cows. The people who do not make
grain feeding pay either have poor
cows or follow the old habit of feed
ing "a measure to a COW" regardless
Of production.
George Shell, owner of the Hoosier
Dairy at Holly, continually has high
producing herd and is good grain
feeder. Mr.. Shell keeps a dairy milk
record sheet and feeds grain to the
cows that respond sufficiently to it.
His favorite grain feed is corn chop
and oats (ground) mixed equal parts.
Probably these two together with al
falfa hay and silage form as nearly
balanced ration as can be found in
this section.
Holly is rapidly getting into pure
bred stock. MIR. Partridge and Mr..
Leonard Of the Model dairy have been
in the east buying pure-oreds for the
members of the COW club. A calf
club has been formed at Holly by the
county agent. Only pure-bred calves
will be purchased.
Mr.. Jensen of Holly is building a
new barn and silo, and is increasing
his herd by fifty cows.

love for Lygia, d Christian maiden,
and the e%nnobling influence of Peter,

g The scenes through which the
thread of this love story is inter

Caesars banquets, the luxurious life

ties of the city's street life, the great.
games in the arena. where gladiators

BOY SCOUTS ~
SELL STAMPS
Organization Perfected for
Aiding Government in
81. War Work.

To further the efforts of the boy
scouts in the sale of the war-saving
and thrift stamps, the governments
war savings committee of the treasury
department has furnished scout or
CARNATIONS with red post cards which
may be mailed without payment of
postage.
The local boy scouts of the city took
the matter of assisting in the sale of
stamps up at their regular meeting
last night and decided unanimously
that they would do all they could in
this connection.
The government furnishes the
scouts with red post cards which are
in h form of order blanks, and the
scouts take these cards to the people
of the town. who sign them with a.
promise to buy a certain number of
stamps. These are then mailed as
any post card, and the postmaster
fills the orders received in this way.
When a scout sells stamps to 25
people, he is given an achievement
button by the government. After this
a series of medals are given for spe-
cial work, the system being based on
the n used for aviators in the
French army. When a boy sells $3.50
worth of stamps he is termed an
Ace" and given a button, patterned
AAo ~ 6ANSh Ill ave-, oIIC VIII
has brought down 5 enemy planes, in
the French army. After he has re-
ceived an Ace medal. he gets a palm
leaf ribbon for every 500 worth that
he sells.
The boy in North Dakota. who sells
the highest amount of stamps under
this plan. is to receive a personal let
ter from President Wilson. thanking
him for his efforts.
The troup of scouts in the state who
sell the most. will be presented with
a large American flag, from the wives
of members of the cabinet.
That the boys are enthusiastic over
the scheme goes without saying. Post
master Duis after talking the plan
over with Rev. Harvey J. Moore, scout
master. gave his approval and will
help it all hat he can.
h boys are busy today. some hav-
ing already sold $50 worth.

The Story OF DAVIS.
Harvey DAVIS. who is an English
man living here, told substantially the
same story with the one exception
that he felt mighty sure that Campos
had intended to kill him. He. con-
graduated himself upon escaping ab-
solutely unhurt from the fray, but was
considerably worried lest some friends
of CalnpOS should try to get him"
DAVIS even considered the possibility
of having to 60 into the army in orr
der to be protected against any pos
sible vendetta action. =
Official records disclose the fact that
DAVIS has been in trouble with the au-
thorities on several occasions when
charges of %non-support OF his wife
and sever children nave beer pre-
ferred against him. Only this week
his wife obtained a divorce from him.
Gun Bought Yesterday.
In telling of the shooting, Campos
said that he purchased a. revolver
from a pawnbroker in this city yester-
day morning, but that even on that
occasion he had no other intention
than merely frightening DAVIS.
Campos< mentioned a number of
railroad officials as references. and
said he had never beer in trouble with
the police. The Fargo police officials
report that they have never before
heard of him. -
Several friends of Campos appeared
at h city hall this morning and said
that he was one of the best liked men
on the road, and that there had never
been any reason to suspect him of be-
ing a bad character. His friends
charterized the affair of last night as
a deplorable case of Campos losing
his head. =
Mrs. Campos substantiated The story
of her husband in several essential
details.
Campos was lodged in the county
Jail this forenoon in the custody of
Sheriff A. r. Turner.

UNCLE SAM AT THE THROTTLE.

On the 2Sth day of last month the
government took over possession and
operation of every railroad in the
United States. Mr. McAdoo, Secretary
of the Treasury, is Director General
of the roads. All. railway employees
will be retained and it is believed
that they will render the government
hearty corporation in the operation
of the railroads.
No one welcomed government con-
troll more than the owners of the rail
roads. Since the government took
possession of the railroads stocks
have already increased from 10 to 90
points
The operation of all the railroads Of
the United States as a single system
of transportation calls for executive
ability of the highest order, and that
ability being required of Mr., McAdoo
the country feels assured that he
possesses it..
