BIG ATTENDANCE AT THE OLD
TRAILS MEETING
Over Five Hundred Delegates at Kan
sas City Meesing and Big I'm
provements for the Next
Year Announced

l.. NJ. Markham, Chas. II. Wooden
and Chas. Owens represented Lamar
at the Old Trails meeting at Kansas
City last Saturday and they report it
to have been a humdingor. Fer two
years the meetings have been u frost,
but the attempt 70 move tic route
started something and delegates pour
cd in from all directions. The Daugh-
ters of Ike American Revolution were
represented in force. They busted
themselves for several yea-s in finding
the rel historic route of the cid San
a Fe Trail ard than in getting the
stats travcrscd TO place markers
along it, and naturally they do not
dcs:rs to have their work bungled.
Hundreds of delegates from along the
route were also present and prepared
for n vigorous fga..., but they were so
atfong tina the proposcrs of the
change got scared md held up ;sction
or their proposition 90 that it will go
over several months until another
ting is held. All slong tho present
route in Kansas, where the law per-
mits land owners alo-,g n road to bond
themselves for improvements reports
wcrc made Of mary miles cf road
where brick or macadam highways
were being constructed or the bonds
voted and construction soon to begin.
With the amount of this work being
done it will soon be impossible to
draw tourists away from the present
trail even if the more northern one
along the high dry prairics was Of
fcially marked. There was mCre dis
position to find fault with counties in
Missouri than there was those in Kan
sas or Colorado, but some in these
states have been very slow in doing
their share. County commissioners
from all along the trail were present
and all promised to do their share in
keeping up the road in their sections.

comments as follows.
&" A Wall street war, Does anyone
think for minute that the mon, wom-
en- and children who have been drown
ed without warning were travelling in
behalf of the financirs Did the right
of non-combatant to journey on the
high seas, u right admitted by Ger
many, yet abrogated by military ne
cessity, come from any group of citi-
zens? Wasn't it the heritage of the
nation itself? To yield single right
meant to submit to German domina-
ton 1t meant to sacrifice and rem
der valueless forever its influence in
the civilized world
Measured in the light of that brief
paragraph, how small, how mean, how
unworthy, how pitifully disloyal, is
the cry: "A Wall street war" The
war is going to prove a great educa-
tor. 1t is going to make narrow men
broad; ignorant men wise; half heart
ed men brave; small minded men
large in their viows-all through the
sacrifices it will compel us to make
and the great truths it Will compel
us to face and understand. 1t is go
ing to teach up farmers that VIC must
be just to other men; fair and reason-
able in the estimates we make Of them.
and above all that we can no more live
and carry on the American govern
ment without capital than the capital
can live without labor Fortunate, al
so, will we be if VIC learn to turn our
backs on the dcmagogic politician who
would array us against our fellow men
all to no advantage 10 ourselves but
to the great hurt of our common coun-
try"

Bringing The War Home
(By The Prowers County Council of Defense)

General C. c. Goodale struck the
keynote of Colorado war time condi-
tions at the last monthly meeting of
the Council of Defense, when he said {:
81 am more than impressed with the
fact that the people of this country
do not realize that we are at war. They
have had no sorrows They have been
called upon to bear but very few
hardships. And find entirely lacking
the spirit that l saw evidenced on
every hand in Canada last year, for
instance.
Il was young when the Civil War
broke out-was not so very old when
it ended-yet | can remember well
how the daily reports of battles and
of their own friends and relatives
wounded and killed in action, woke the
people up to realization of the SER
iousness of the situation. Until we
reach this state we will not realize
that we are at war.
Some of US are prone to complain
ut the government requests regarding
food conservation and similar meas
ures. They are so new-so different
so unusual. But we must realize that
they are not made just for fun"
The general won an enthusiastic
round of applause when he touched
upon the matter of Judas Peace"
ave must pay absolutely no atten-
tion to rumors of peace" he said. at

peace for America and Americans un-
til the Stars and Stripes march vic
torious into Berlin"

Before the ink was dry on last
weeks papers, thirty men of Prowcrs

appeal for a public service reserve and
had hunted up County Labor Chair

when we remember that it represents
