Mrs. Edw. Hertzog received word
last Wednesday from Waco. Texas,
that her sister, Mrs. McAleer. had died
in the hospital there as a result of
pneumonia. On Friday she received
a second telegram announcing the
death of Frank McAleer. and serious
illness of Miss Georgine, from the
same cause. The bodies were taken
to Denver for burial, and the latest
news is that Miss Georgine is improv-
ing nicely. Mrs. McAleer lived here
some years ago and had many friends
in Lamar. Frank spent several years
here living with Mrs. Hertzog and had
a host of friends among the young
people of the city, who will all deeply
regret his untimely death in the prime
of young manhood. He was a fine
young man, steady and reliable, who

WAR NEWS STILL IMPROVING
Western Front and France
Nearly Redeemed.

The allies armies are still driving
the Huns back through France and
Belgium in the west and Serbia in the
east. Everywhere the news shows
large portions of country redeemed
and thousands of prisoners and guns
captured. The victory grows hourly
in extent and it is almost certain that
another week will see practically all
of France and Serbia cleared of Huns
and about half of Belgium. The Ger
man government is trying to dicker
with President Wilson, but if they find
there is no answer but Unconditional
Surrender" the evidence is rapidly
gathering that the Huns will soon ac-
cept it. The Minneapolis Tribune very
aptly remarks that we want "Uncon-
ditional Surrender" not "Huncondi-
tional Surrender" That covers the
case exactly. If the allies give in the
least particle we will have a surrender
on Hun conditions.

Who Is 1t?

The above question has been one of
the chief topics of Lamar since the
last issue if The Register. and many
have insisted on the editor giving out
the information. Unfortunately the
letter contained all we know and while
the description furnishes us some clue,
the man it fits best insists he was
never in Cleveland during the trip,
and far be it from US to dispute his
word. However, Bobby jinksl we
almost gave it away-admits that he
granted himself several leaves of alb
senee during which he avoided the rest
of the team.

Good Printing Wins.

Recently the American Garage and
Auto Dealer, one of the leading trade
journals of Chicago, conducted a con-
test in which they offered prizes for
the three best advertising campaigns
conducted by dealers in their territory.
There were numbers of samples of adj
vertising matter used in all sections
of the country sent in. Yesterday
Charley Wooden received check and
notice that he had won second place
in the big contest. AS the Register
office printed all his circulars and let
tiers for the campaign he took the
whole force out and treated them to
the best the town affords in these dry
times. If you want effective printing
done just come to the place where they
do it right.

branches of the service.

Being Conquered

The state health authorities are
gradually winning the battle with the
"flu." In the northern part of the
state where it started it is now rapid

gradually resuming business as usual.
Denver, it is expected, will open its
public places again next week as the
new cases there are rapidly on the de-
crease. In this section, where it start
ed later, it will probably be little
later before the ban is lifted and meet
