LARGER CROP PRICES OFFSET
INCREASED MACHINERY COSTS
Cost of Farm Machinery Increases
20.16 Percent-Cost of Repairs
Shows Much Bigger Raise.

MANY people have gotten the idea
that there has been an enormous in
crease in the price of farm machinery
the past year." says L. F. Carey, at
the Colorado Agricultural College.
Figures taken from the implement
dealers in Fort Collins show that on
the whole there has been an increase
of but 20.16 percent. This increase
is less than the increased price paid
for any Of the crops raised on Colo
RADIO farms except potatoes and ap-
pies, which show a decrease of 25.2
percent, and 14.9 percent respective
ly.
'Since the average life of machin-
cry is IL years, man with $500
worth Of machinery buys on an aver
age s66.67 worth each year. The ad-
ditional increase he would have to
pay. according to present prices.
would be s13.44 per year. The in
crease from one and one-third acres
of corn yielding 29.2 bushels per
year or one acre of wheat yielding
31.76 bushels per acre would pay for
the increase on this. yearly machin-
cry purchase.
The increase in the cost of re.
pairs has been more than that of
machinery and is altogether too much
in some instances. No doubt part of
this is due to scarcity of material.
There are many types of machines
being manufactured and these are
scattered well over the country. hence
the demand for repairs has not de-
creased while the supply has, max
ing it more difficult to buy these re-
pairs.
at would appear that partial
solution to the repair problem would
be the standardization of machinery
so that the same piece would iii
more than one make"

ALLIED WAR WORK DRIVE
Lamar Organization Badly Crippled
by Flu Situation.

This is the week for the big allied
war works drive in which Prowers
county is asked to raise about $4,000
for the various war funds. The organ
ization here was in charge Of Hon.
Allyn Cole, who was called to Denver
this week on important state business.
One of his assistants, Attorney Alfred
Todd, is down sick with the flu, and
the whole campaign has become badly
disorganized as result. However, a
committee of energetic women work
ers have taken charge and are meet
ing with great success. They are I'M
able owing to the general sickness to
make the usual house to house cam
paign, but are doing great work along
the business streets and can be count
ed on to see Lamar through this drive
with the usual credit.
The coming of peace will not dimin-
ish the needs of these organizations
for some months to come il the COM
fort and pleasure of our boys over
there are to be properly cared for, and
all citizens should make an extra eff
fort now not only to do something for
the boys but to tighten the work of
the ladies' who are undertaking the
task Of raising the needed money.
Give all you possibly can when they
call upon you.

in 1888. He grew to manhood there
and was united in marriage to Miss
Viola Massie on October 9, 1898. To
them were born five children, three of
whom, Robert, Howard and Marie,
survive him They moved to Pueblo
in 1910, and year later to Hasty,
where they resided until they moved
to Lamar in 1915. He has since been
engaged in the real estate business
here, having been at the time of his
Cox Realty Co. He leaves besides his
widow and children, father, w. r..
McIlvaine, at Lebanon, and two broth
ers, C. w. McIlvaine of Lamar, and
Geo. w. McIlvaine of st. Louis. The
father could not come to the funeral
owing to the sickness and death at
the same time of his wife, step-mother
of the deceased.
Joe McIlvaine was one of the best
known men of Lamar and universally
respected and liked by all who made
his acquaintance. He was broad mind
ed, liberal to fault, always cheerful
and optimistic, and a friend who would
stand by one to the limit. He was a
successful business man, who through
square dealing and good judgment
was rapidly building up a prosperous
business in Lamar, and his large circle
of friends and business associates
deeply regret his untimely end in the
very prime of manhood, and when it
seemed he had the most to live for.
In his death the community has lost
a good citizen and public spirited bust
ness man, his associates genial COM
panion and sincere friend, and his fam
lily loving husband and father.

County Clerk Markham assisted by
Judges Kirkpatrick and Fuller started
the official canvass Of the vote Of
Prowers county in the recent election
on Monday but owing to some Of the
usual mistakes of the judges which
had to be rectified could not announce
the result until today, too late for
publication. Very little change from
the unofficial figures published last
week was made. That the Register
was indicated in claiming that Prov
ers county also had twin" campaign
was proven by the voters themselves
who elected Messrs. Rhodes and May
field by exactly the same majority,
$50 each. In the Lamar justice pre-
cinct Judges kirkpatrick and Deeter
and Constables Watson and Rhoden-
baugh were reelected. Judge Thorn
ton Green made n fine race, receiving
259 votes.
All the initiated bills carried here by
large majorities, showing that people
voted for the high-sounding titles re-
gardless of contents. Even the So
called Merit-System, especially design
ed to enable the men who staid al
home to hold their jobs against the re-
turning soldier boys, only had cor
poral's guard of votes against it, al.
though the county is supposed to have
large and active Parents Of Soldiers
and Sailors League. The "Bone-Dry'
bill carried by vote of 1891 to 573
and Immediately all of the latter ant
a big per cent of the former applied
at the clerks office for permits. They
evidently intend to make good use Of
the little time left them. The bill t.
reduce the cost of printing initiated
bills carried by the biggest vote Of
any, and every printer in the state i.
laughing over the joke. Even the one
meritorious bill, the one to aid the
adult blind did not carry as heavily
as the printers joke.

he has ceased to take money he did
not earn on a job with nothing to do.
If his example were followed thous-
ands of men and women would be do
ing something else tomorrow all over
our country and quit drawing unearn-
ed money.
In California a few years ago the
number of state employees was about
900, and today by expanding state
functions it has reached 5000.
The same conditions are to be found
in every western state, in many coun-
ties and cities, and the evil grows at
each legislative session.
The policies, legislation, expansion
of new fields for political exploitation,
all come from the ffice-holding class,
not from the people.
But one has been conscience smit-
ten, has reformed, has confessed, has
owned up that as department head he
was a supernumerary. Let us hope.

1t seems radicalism is going the
limit in support of anarchism in the
case of Mooney, the convicted bomb
planter.
An appeal has been made for hear
ing before the United States Supreme
court on writ of certiorari and an
other strike is threatened.
The word is being passed out Off
cially by Mrs. Rena Mooney to 7.000,-
900 labor union members that a gen.
,eral strike is to be called if he hangs.
The official circular says: "Work
is going to cease unless Mooney is
given new trial or released at once"
This is labor war and will go
down in history as the most daring
conspiracy ever attempted against
labor"
The history of his life setting forth
his services to united labor are being
sold to raise new fund for his de-
tense.
Where is there any conspiracy
against labor in trying to convict a
murderer of ten innocent people?

IN CAESARS STEPS

Fought by the Great Roman
Conqueror.

Over the same ground where Caesar

and in overbearlng nature, as any
school boy or girl who has read the
commentaries of the great Roman gen.
eral can tell you. How history repeats
itself and how important as well
as interesting is the study Of the
Latin language become since the war
is Illustrated In telling fashion by a
classical exhibit in the University Of
Pittsburgh.
In the exhibit, which was arranged
under the direction Of b. l.. Ullman Of
the State Classical association, is a
model OF bridge built over the Rhine
by Caesar. II was made from the de
scription given by Caesar.
The bridge Is almost exactly like the
temporary bridge the soldiers at

cross the Rhine as they 60 into the do

stones at the enemy. Is made exactly
on the same principle as the machine

The boy who is reading Caesar can
tell you that Relms. whose wonderful
cathedral has been destroyed by the
Germans, was named from the Rami

scissors takes its name from the Sues
stones tribe, conquered by Caesar. The
Commentaries are full of rames made
familiar by the war going on today
and the schoolboy reads with added
interest how Caesar defeated Ariovis-
tus, king of the Germans, and won
other triumphs on the same battle
front as that Of the allies today. The
wolf holes he describes are much like
the traps used to ensnare and bewilder
the enemy now.
Other articles in the exhibit made by
students show what a wealth of Ro-
man tradition has been handed down
TO us. The Roman fasces. shown on
the new United States dime, Is the
original of the mace. the symbol of
power, used by the speaker Of the
house of representatives. The fasces.

used by the Romans to fog offenders
and the ax used by them to cut on
the heads of the worst of them.
