NEW MANAGER
New Stakeholder and Manager of the
Golden Rule Mercantile Co.
Takes Charge.

C. b. Rand, who several months ago
purchased an interest in the Lamar
store OF the Golden Rule Mercantile
Mere. Co., and was appointed as man
ager to succeed o. q. Edwards, arriv-
ed here last week and has taken over
the management of the store. The de-
lay in making the change was due TO
the fact that Mr.. Rand was iii the
service in France and has only just
been released. He spent fourteen
months over there and is glad to get
back and in business again. He was
in the mercantile business before en-
tering the service and is an experienc-
ed man in the dry goods line. The
store has enjoyed "a rapid rise in pop
ular favor in the few years it has been
here under the management OF Messrs.
A. f. Fox and o. G. Edwards, and will
continue to grow in favor under Mr..
Rand's management.
Their monthly publication, Store
News" which has been suspended
since Mr.. Edwards went to Greeley,
will be resumed and keep their large
list of patrons informed of the develop
ments of the trade. The October issue
is now being published and is neat
and interesting sto-e paper.

LAMAR GENERAL HOS. .rAL
Women's Board Close Their Connection
With 1t on October 1st.

The women's board which has very
successfully conducted the Lamar Cen
eral hospital since August l, 1915, de-
cided two weeks ago that the diff
culties connected with securing help
under present labor conditions were
such that it could only be undertaken
by those who were regularly employed
to devote their time to the purpose,
and decided to resign their places on
the board. A meeting of the active
membership was therefore called and
volunteers asked to fill the position,
but it was unanimous decision of the
practically entire membership present
that under present conditions it would
be better to turn it over to those who
would be paid for the work. Accord
ingly on October LIST the volunteer or
ganization will cease its connection
with the institution and it will be turn
ed over to such organization as those
financially interested shall arrange.
The ladies, who have been in charge,
nave hcPt Vic hoSpieoi SViHB IOi u
longer period by far than anybody has
succeeded in doing before, and have
in spite of incredible advarces in all
other lines maintained rates at before
war prices. They have met all bills
and received very little financial help.
The ladies organizations of Lamar and
surrounding territory have been very
generous IN donations of materials and
work, and this has been greatly ap-
preciated. The situation is such now
that only constant attention can keep
the institution supplied with the neees-
sary help and the job will be turned
over to those financially interested.
Any proceeds that may exist after all
bills are paid will be turned into the
fund to equip the new hospital when
completed.

Should Look About Him

Australia, for the first time in her
history, is to have navy. 1t will in
clude, according to the present pro-
gram laid down by Admiral Sir John
Jellicoe, modern battle cruisers, "a
destroyers, IL submarines, and the
necessary supply ships. The program
calls for completion in 1928 at cost
of s25, ,OOO, 900 annually. "The league
of nations proposes to organize the
nations of the world for peace where
as they have always heretofore been
organized for war" declared Senator
Hitchcock in his minority report on
the peace treaty, in which he demanded
ratification without reservation. Aus
tralia is a small sample. Was ever
such hypocrisy as the world is now
witnessing? And we would be parties
to it if we accepted the Wilson league.
Consider the recommendations of Sec
retary Baker for huge army, and OF
Secretary Daniels for a supremacy.
England is building two warships
where she built one before, and she is
raising one million men for her stand
ing army where she formerly had 1OO,-
900. and she is raising the million by
conscription in time of peace! Organ
izing the nations of the world for
peace?

Just Plain Royalty

King Albert of Belgium started this
week for America to thank Uncle Sam
personally for coming to the rescue of
his little country. He was offered the
full control of the George Washington
for the trip but inquired if it would
delay any of our soldier boys in get
ting home When he found that two
thousand of them had been booked for
passage but it was to be cancelled, he
declared that he would not come un-
less they came with him, as he did
not want his visit to interfere with
the movement homeward of a single
soldier. His entire crowd occupy just
ten rooms. This is royalty. Our
president" is the real thing in mag
nificence. Forty secretaries, three
hundred assistants, eighty cooks, thirty
Wallets, forty maids, etc, etc, etc, ad
infinitum. Some class to that, eh! The
George Washington was held six
months at his service and the
ten thousand men she could have
brought over kept in France rather
than take chances of one of them leav-
ing a stray cootie on board. King
Albert is soldier and has faced
cooties before.

SUGAR BEET SEASON
Opens Next Monday Without Fail and
the Sugar is Needed.

The season for the delivery of beets
has been twice postponed owing to
weather conditions but G. L. Swink,
local manager, informs us it will open
next Monday without fail. The crop
is large one this year and it Is bad
ly needed by the country at large as in
most of the large cities all over the
land the sugar ration has been again
established and in many sections it is
as low as the lowest war period. In
Denver it is two pounds per person
each week. The condition is rapidly
becoming acute and it is evident that
it will be more than another year be-
fore the situation becomes anything
like normal in the sugar line.
1t is becoming painfully apparent to
our people that the sentimentalists who
have been preaching about our duty
to feed the world have led this coun-
try into condition that spells calam-
ity. Food of all kinds has become so
high and scarce that people are dis
contented even when drawing the high
est wages in the history of the world,
and unless the dreamers are kicked in
to the discard and little practical
charity of the kind that looks after
home first practiced the country will
soon be face to face with the gravest
condition in its history.

A Year Late

Every effort is being made" says
Director General of Railroads Hines,
''to speed up the construction of the
lOO, 900 freight cars ordered last year -
How typical Of everything the admin
istration has attempted-our war pre-
parations, our entrance into the war,
delayed intervention in Mexico. steps
to check the high cost of living-every-
thing has been delayed until a crisis
was upon the country and action could
be no longer postponed. With a coal
shortage impending because of lack of
cars, and with the movement of crops
impeded for the same reason, Mr..
Hines tells the country that every eff
fort is being made to build ears-one
year after they were ordered!

TRAPS FOR RIFLE CLUB
Have Been Established at Country
Club Grounds. First Regular
Match Sunday.

The Lamar Rifle Club has had q
pit made at the County Club grounds
northwest of Lamar and established
three traps there and the members of
the club are now practicing regularly
at the traps regardless of the high cost
of ammunition. Several members of
the club, who never tried the sport
previous to the national encampment
in New Jersey several weeks ago. are
now becoming experts at the game and
all are regular at practice
The grounds are fine for the pur-
pose. There is plenty Of shade and
good place to park all the autos that
may come. G. L. Moffatt and Frank
Petrie will shoot match on Sunday
for a purse Of $500 and the champion
ship of the valley. Both are experts
and it will be a match for blood.
Everybody is invited to see this match.
An important meeting of the MEM
bers of the club is called for Friday

GROCERY CONSOLIDATION
Two of the Biggest Grocery. Concerns
in Southeastern Colorado
Consolidate.

The Snodgrass Food Co., which has
about dozen large stores in the SOUTH
eastern part of the state and is one
of the largest grocery companies of
the state, this week completed the deal
by which they purchased both the re-
tail and wholesale business of the +.
H. Kelsey Grocery Co., in Lamar. The
latter company was probably their
largest rival in this valley and was
owned by F. H. Kelsey and Glen Kirk
patrick. The purchase of the Silver
building where the Snodgrass Com
pany is now located by +. E. Butler
e. Son, the dry goods merchants, nee
essitated change and good business
rooms are scarce in Lamar. The re-
tail room of the Kelsey company and
their big warehouse together with the
quarters north of the track recently
rented by the Snodgrass people will
furnish all the room needed for their
business and give them ample facili-
ties to make their Lamar store the big
gest in the valley.
The Silver block when they vacate
will be completely remodelled for the
use of the Butler dry goods store, and
equipped with the handsomest fixtures
to be found anywhere.

1920 ROAD WORK
Prowers County Will Have an Ap-
preparation of $4,000 for Work
on State Roads.

The road program for Prowers
county next year has been announced
by the state highway commission in
part. When first given out several
weeks ago it let Prowers county down
with $4,000 The commissioners took
the matter up and went to Denver
backed up with full statement of
work done here and what is proposed,
prepared by County Clerk Markham,
and after a session with the commits
sion and government experts secured
an increase to $4,000, which is to be
spent on the established state roads
only.
The program includes several miles
of cement roads on the Santa Fe
Trail, which will be divided between
the towns of Holly, Granada and La
mar. Also several miles of cement
Highway. Half of these bills will be
paid by the federal government, one
fourth by the state and one-fourth
by Prowers county. The county roads
not established as state roads Will be
taken care of by the county funds.
The county only had forty thousand
dollars appropriated the past year, and
the big increase will enable much
more ambitious program to be carried
out than has ever been contemplated
heretofore. The roads need the work
and it will be good news to all citizens
that the county will receive this large
amount of aid in the work of improv-
ing them.

Courting Capital Cops

In Helena, Montana, Mr.. Wilson con-
demned the action of the Boston police
as "a crime against civilization" de-
claring a policeman to be "a public
servant, not private employee" !"
Three days before that he wired Com
missioner Brownlow, of Washington,
ID. c., the Nations Capital, to withhold
action relative to the Washington pol
ice, until after the labor conference.
Brownlow had refused to recognize the
policemen's union, and they were
threatened with dismissal. Just the
usual line of inconsistency from the
most vagarious President who ever
sat in the White House.

his red lantern trap and sack and

on the part of the officers to make him
turn states evidence against his fellow

grafton of the honored order of snipes

kindly secured his dismissal after he
had properly treated the assembled
members of the great order to which

WASHINGTON NOTES
Playing With Fire

For six years President Wilson has
been sowing to the winds. The coun-
try is reaping the whirlwind. The
of Bolshevism served only to
increase the spirit of Bolshevism.
Yielding to the Brotherhoods in their
inequitable demands in 1916 encourag-
ed the framing of the Plum plan in
1919. The President may hope to di-
vert attention and escape responsible
ity but the people will remember.
