and feeling that it was good to have
attended the convention in spite of the
trouble which bad roads caused to
those coming from the south. The
principal address of the afternoon ses-
sion was Judge White Of the Colorado
Supreme Court, who came in place of
Governor Gunter. The latter was un-
able to come owing to injuries rcceiv-
ed in an accident. Judge White deliv-
cred an eloquent and interesting ad-
dress, the ablest of the sessions and
received hearty applause for his effort.
There were q number Of other address,
es and the session closed with the re-
election of the old officers, President
d. J. Young and Secretary w. A.
Palmer, who have done SO much in the
past year to make the highway the
great success 1t has been. In the even
ing the delegates remaining were
treated to another fine band concert
and afterwards to q big dance at the
Fraternal Temple. Anyone who saw
the jam of autos around the block in
which the band stand is located last
Friday evening will be hard to con-
vince that there is any such thing as
hard times or shortage Of gasoline in
Lamar. The city's guests left next
morning either for the west or the

The visitors were given a fine triI
over the great irrigated section nortf
of Lamar and gained a far better idea
of what farming by irrigation mean,
and the possible results to be attained
All realized that the alfalfa meal sacl
which enclosed their program repre-
sented the county's greatest industr,
and that our farmers through the de
velopment of the meal industry las

Eminent peoloeists have accurately surveyed and
defined the oil Southeastern Colorado They have
given unanimous opinions that the structures offer
ideal prospects.
But with all our conjectures, one knows or
can know definitely whether oil exists in paying
quantities. until actual tests made. And it has
been very definitely brought home to that one
man is going to make these tests his respon-
sibility.
Now there is no question but that the people of
this valley must finance their development work.
The burden must be borne by the many and not by
the few.
Therefore in order that those who may wish to
invest money in this development of their home
country the Allied Oil & Refining Company has been
organized by home business men of standing, whose
integrity has been questioned that the develop
ing of these oil structures may proceed In business
like and well organized manner that the money may
not be squandered in Intellectual drilling operations.
Also, that when you have put up money and oil
should be struck, you will reap the benefit of your
patriotism and foresight.
The Allied company has, with this idea in view,
secured large blocks of leases all CT the well de-
fined domes in Kiowa, Bent, Baca, Prowers, Las An
imas and Pueblo countless in fact everywhere that
there is possibility of oil being found in Colorado
The company's well at Eads is of the wells

been watching months with the keenest interest.

BUILDING MORALE
OF JEWISH TROOPS
Work OF Jewish Welfare Board Pro
ducing Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches

No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than by the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is en-
gagged in its task of keeping up the
lines of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training CAMPS and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the struggle Of
morale against "kultur' the American
army has every advantage that will
insure success, the Jewish organiza-
tion is making its chief issue the
stiffening of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers of the Hebrew
faith. The call for workers is urgent
and rabbis, professional men, journal
lists, social workers and others are
entering the service Of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.
