COMPANY d. SOON TO GO
Big Detachment of Prowers County
Boys Will Soon BE Among the
Boys over There"

Word has been received from Camp
Kcarny that the l57th Division, Of
which our Prowers county company is
one of the units, has received Orders
to keep themselves in readiness
to be moved. The boys have been in
structed to send all their belongings
that they do not need home, and BE-
ready to move on twenty-four hours
notice. This means that at any min
ute they will be called TO entrain for
some port either Atlantic or Pacific
and pass out in the night to the ships
that will take them across to Some
where in France" Nobody knows
anything definite about where and
when, but these orders are almost al
ways followed by quick action, and it
is evident they will soon be going
over.
Over one hundred Prowers county
boys are in Co. d of this division, and
about fifty from Baca, Kiowa and
Bent counties, and probably far more
of our ciizens are directly interested
in this voyage than any other that will
be made during the war. That safe
passage and good luck will be their
portion is the wish of every citizen
Of the county. Hundreds of longing
hearts will await with deepest anxiety
word of their passage across the sub
marine zone. When this shipment
goes over few communities the size
of Prowers county will be so well
represented along the great battle line
where the fate of the future of civil
ization is to be settled the coming
summer.

MOVING HEADQUARTERS
Denver Alfalfa Milling & Products
Company Moving Offices To La
mar This Week

The head office force of The Den
yer Alfalfa Milling & Products Co.
have been busy this week moving
their Offices from Hartman TO their
new headquarters on the second floor
of the Cooper block on South Main
street, Lamar The rapidly growing
business of the company requires an
increase in the force and there will be
several additions TO the office staff
about the first of February. The addi-
tion Of the headquarters of this COM
pany, the largest manufacturers Of
alfalfa meal in the world, in addition
to the companies already having head
quarters here will make Lamar the
leading alfalfa meal center of the
world, and that too without having a
single mill in the city. Close to two
hundred thousand tons of this great
stock food will be marketed through
this city each year.

NEW FOOD REGULATIONS
Fifty-Fifty Even Break Granted by
the National Food Administra-

Wheat

Following receipt Of the Presidents
proclamation extending the re5tric-
tions concerning food conservation
Thomas b. Stearns, federal food adj
ministrator for Colorado, notified
county administrators Of the new reg
ulation establishing an additional
whcatless day, urging one wheGtless
meal day, and other rules for food
saving.
The new regulations appear IN
new home card which is to be mailed
to the 10000 families in Colorado
pledged to the food conservation cam

a radical change requiring consumers
when purchasing wheat produc-s s TO
buy an equal quantity of other grains
or cereals. This fifty-fifty arrange
ment is proposed to make certain
the conservation of wheat by substi-
tuition of other cereal products. Inc
substitutes for wheat -four are corn,

corn products. Graham and whole

LAMAR BUILDING AND LOAN AS
ISOLATION
Annual Meeting Postponed Until Next
Monday Owing TO .Conflicting
Dates. Fine Showing

A number of stockholders Of The
Lamar Building and Loan Association
met at the office Of the association on
last Monday evening, but as so many
conflicting attractions kept mGny
away it was voted to adjourn the ses-
sion to next Monday evening, Febru-
ary 3rd, at which time the regular
business will be attracted.
The report of Secretary |. II. Myers
for the past half year shows the con-
tinued prosperity of this big concern
and that it has ample capital back of
it to continue to take the lead in build
ing up Lamar. There are hundreds
of homes here built and owned by our
citizens through this institution that
could not possibly have been built
otherwise, and they stand as a mon
ument of its worth and benefit to the
community.
The statement shows that the as
sociation is still earning good and
steady dividends for its stockholders,
and is on a solid and sound founda-
tion. The report is above.

WISE SELECTION, CAREFUL PRE-
PARATION, AID CONSERVA-
TION
Perishable Foods, Produced Locally.
Must Be Used-Housewife Can
Promote Saving BY Use Of
Skill in Cooking

1t is now very generally known and
accepted that the housekeeper can
render signal service through willing
and intelligent corporation with the
food administration; that there is
enough of food and to spare if we but
select wisely and do not waste; that
there is urgent need of universal and
organized conservation of wheat, fat,
meat and sugar-of which foods the
present per capt. consumption is IN
excess of dietary needs; and, that ma
tional economy will win the war.
Wise selection involves the use of
local and perishable foods; the use of
certain unusual foods heretofore not
thought of, or neglected, and tho sub
stitution of equivalents for the four
foods especially to be conserved.
Toward making the substituted
foods acceptable and even popular,
the housewife is called upon to cx-
ercise very marked interest, care and
skill in cooking and serving. The
saving of Mark Twain, that you
cannot throw habit out of t., win
dow. it must be coaxed downstairs
one step at a time" finds a me st

Complaints of non-delivery of mail
to our soldiers both in this country
and abroad, has led Congressman
Frederick w. Dallinger Of Massa-
chusctts TO propose the appointment
of . joint committee to inquire into
the cause of delays in the postal SER
vice. Five members of each of the
post office committees Of the two
Houses of Congress are to compose
the committee, and before the first
day of March are to report such leg
islation as may be necessary to in
sure prompt and efficient postal SER
vice both within the United States and
between this country and the Ameri-
can cxpcditionary forces abroad. MI
Dallinger's resolution will strike a
responsive chord in the hearts of rel
atiyes and friends who have sent
boxes of good things to the boys in
France only to have them lost by the
wayside, which it is claimed has been
the case in thousands of instances.

CONVERTS BEAN SCREENINGS
INTO FEED
Colorado Farmer Buys Screenings and
Sits Out Dirt, BOils Rmainder.
and Feeds to Hogs and
Horses

A Colorado farmer who is borrow
ing bulletins from the Library Of the
Colorado Agricult .ral College writes
that as a result of his reading he is
using what is to him a new feed, and
suggests that his experience may be
helpful to others
His reading has shown him that
in every pound of corn meal there is
one and one-fourth ounces of protein,
and that in every pound of beans
kind not statcd-there are two and
three-fourths ounces of protein.
Near him are two large elevators
that are buying pinto beans in large
quantities. While the farmers are al
lowed to take a certain percentage of
their screenings, they generally leave
them at the elevator. This waite,
which consists of broken beans, stems
and dirt, he buys at small price. nc

manning beans and stems for feed.

imum of sewing the following pro-
gram:
Have two whcatlcss days monday
and Wednesday, in every week, and
one whcatless meal in every day.
On wheatless days and in wheStlcss
meals of other days use no crackers,
pastry, macaroni, breakfast food or
other cereal food containing wheat,
and use no wheat flour in any form
except the small amount that may be
needed for thickening soups or grav-
les or for binder in corn bread and
other cereal breads. As to bread, if
you bake it at home, use other cHrcals
than wheat and if you buy it, buy
only war bread. Our object is that
we should buy and consume onc-third
less wheat products than we did list

Have one meatless day tTuesday) in
every week and one meatless m al in
every day. Have two porkless days

week. Meatlcss means without any
cattle, hog or sheep products. On
other days use mutton and lamb in
preference to beef and pork. Porkless
means without pork, bacon, ham, lard
or pork products, fresh or preserved
Use fish, poultry and eggs. As ma
tion VIC eat and waste nearly twice

Make every day fat saving day
(buttcr. lard, lard substitutes, etc)
Fry less. broil, boil or stew foods in

them and vegetable oils for cooking
instead of butter. Butter has food
values vital to children, therefore give
1t to them. Use it only ON the table.
Waste no soap, il is, made from fat.
BE careful of all fats. We uSc and
waste two and a half times as much
fat as we need.
Make every day sugar saving day.
Use less sugar, less sweet drinks,
and candy containing sugar should be
