patronage Not Patriotism"

Denver, Feby. 12.-That is to be
the slogan Of the radical elcm-nt in
the democratic party this fall, and it
would seem from present appear
ances this element holds the upper
hand.
The little gathering in Denver dur
ing the stock show engineered by
Charles Essig of TT. Collins and Char
ley Friend of Golden, set the ball to
rolling. Patronage not patriotism"
inspired them to announce that in he
future they, and those of their kind,
would support no man for office on
any ticket unless he promised in adj
vance to see insurgents and radicals
arc right next to the pie counter.
Those who refuse to make pledges of
this kind must remain in the back
ground and make an honest Living in
some manner.
While the gathering was ostelsibly
to unfurl the banner of Patronage
Patriotism" back of it was a move to
advance little Leslie Hubbard to the
front. No sooner had the conserva-
tivcs captured the meeting-broke it
up in fGct-than Leslie was out wi II
his clibi, one however which made no
hit with the conservatives, for, as a
matter Of fact the regular democrats
are getting awfully tired of the windy
attorney general, the man who writes
his own press dope" and Gays 'I' ten
times in each line.
1t is said the insurgents have made
a tentative slate for the democrats to
consider at the primary polls. Should
the democrats not look with favor on
this ticket, the insurgents will gather
about them the discomfort of ell kinds
and in all parties and start a little
Independent movement of their own.
In this they expect to have the sup
port of the Nonpartisan league, which,
notwithstanding the bad rcpute Of this
organization in other states, has some
members in Colorado. The tentative
ticket is said will be about as follows:
For scnator-Dr. Jones of Larimcr.

PROPOSED HIGH SCHOOL ADDI-
TION
viii Accommodate Needs of Ward
Schools as Well AS of the High
School
TON

The growing population of our city
is now crowding every one of the ward
schools of Lamar, and some rooms will
not stand any more additions to the
lists of pupils. 1t is expected by the
school board that if the bonds are vot-
ed by the people of the city and the
new additions made, that Junior high
school will be established at the high
school building which will furnish fine
and ample accommodations for the
Seventh and Eighth Grades Of all the
schools of the city for several years
to come. This will relieve the press
ure on the other grades so that it will
be several years before additional
buildings will be needed. If the high
school is not added to it will be nee
essary either to build or rent addi-
tional ward school quarters and if the
latter is rcsorted to it will probably
cost as much as the interest on the
bond issue, and then not be as salts
factory to either the patrons or the
faculty. 1t will be impossible to make
any satisfactory increase in the equip
mcnt or facilities Of the manual train
ing or domestic science departments of
the high schol until new quarters are
provided. There is much discussion
of the question now and the taxpayers
are only asked to investigate the needs
of the schools throughly and vote as
they think best.
Sterling, a northern Colorado city of
almost exact size and kindred indus
tries to Lamar, last week voted s175.-
900 in bonds for high school, more
than all the public buildings of La
mar put together have cost. The citi-
zens of that town are very enthusiast
tic over their high school and it is at
tracing many new citizens to their
town.

G. S. Heath, one of the prosperous

In this connection it might be re-
marked that while Shafroth has been
in the senate five years he has never
done n thing to advance Colorado.
When war broke out Colorado manu-
facturers wanted to get in on some of
the war contracts. They put the mat

A bunch of manufacturers were dis

this matter and the entire lack of in

PESTS INURE LIVE STOCK

Parts of Country.

prepared by the United States Depart

Both the so-called Screw-worm and
the blow-fy larvae commonly called
maggots, are pests of prime Importance
to stock raisers. The screw-worm is
often confused with the other species,
especially during the spring n rail-
months. Injury to live stock from mag

due to the true screw-worm. In TACT,
this maggot injury may be found
among live stock in any state OF the

quently in the warmer portions of the
country. The true screw-worm inficts
enormous losses on the stock raisers
of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arr
IONA, and southern California during
seasons which are favorable for its
development. During the warmer por-
tons Of the year 1t is never entirely
absent from this region and may also
cause injury to stock in the other
Southern states, and as far north as
Nebraska.
The screw-worm is a motive Of the
Americas and has been causing trou-
BILE to stockmen for many years. No
doubt it is largely due to this fact
that cattlemen accept the pest as a
necessary evil and always count upon
"doctoring" q certain number Of cases
every year.
The seasonal abundance OF the
screw-wocm fly depends largely upon
climatic conditions. The first ap-
pearance Of adults in numbers In
