Visits Lamar in Trip Around State
Explaining War Conditions

Governor j. C. Gunter was the guest
of the Prowers County Council of De-
fense Wednesday afternon and in the
evening addressed the people of Lamar
and vicinity at the high school audi
torium. The Governor is an especial
favorite in this section where his six
years term as district judge made him
a host of warm friends among the old
timers. He arrived late in the after
noon and was the guest of honor at IA
banquet at the rooms of the War
Council in the Masonic Temple at 5 30.
The banquet was strictly war times
affair and was big success under the
management of the chairman of the
entertainment committee, Floyd VI.
Wilson. Only war rations were allow
ed and all the accompaniments were
in accord with the war spirit. Gov
ernor Gunter made short talk to the
guests and this was followed by a
toast to the Boys at the Front" by
Genearl Goodale, and one to our War
Governor by Chairman Novels Of the
Council. Seven young ladies repre-
senting the leading allied nations add
ed much to the attractiveness of the
occasion. They were costumed for the
parts and marched through the room
in the most graceful manner. Miss
Caranhan representing France sang
Joan O. Are" Mrs. II. J. johnson re-
presented England; Miss Bessie Law
less, Italy; Miss Frances thinner, Bel
gium; Miss Frances Leonard, Rouman-
ia; Miss Gladys Mclean, Serbia and
Miss Donna Slaughter, Japan. Mrs.
Glenn Kirkpatrick represented Column
bia and was escorted by four boy
scouts.
At the high school auditorium in the
evening there was a large crowd fill
ing the big hall, and the Governor was
given a rousing reception. Senator A.
N Parrish act I'd as chairman and Hon.
Boone West also made short talk.
The Governor gave the people an car
nest, patriotic and sincere tal.s on the
situation as he sees it after visit to
headquarters in Washington, and says
they are making all preparations with
a view to a three to five years war.
He warned the people that we must
win and all thoughts must b. turned
to saving in every respect for the
scant days to come. Only by economy
of the strictest kind can the war be
carried forward to a victorious conclu-
sion, and under no other conclusion can
we hope to live in peace. Ti.c needs
and demands of the country will grow
greater and greater and it will be alb
solutely necessary for the men OF
means throughout The land to meet the
demands. He said he was especially
proud of Prowers county because she
stood right in the front rank among
the few that had come up cach time
with more than asked of her, whether
it was mcn, donations or purchase OF
Liberty bonds and war stamps. He
also wanted to thank our representa-
tives in both branches of the legisla-
ture for laying aside politics and up
holding the government in the crisis
last summer. He hcd no stronger sup
porter than S,uctor Hasty and Repre-
sentative Cole.
