YAMBAS ELECT
Officers Chosen for Ensuing Year and
New Constitution Adopted.

At the annual election meeting last
Friday evening the Y. NJ. b. Associa-
ton of Lamar chose new officers for
the ensuing year. The meeting was
held at the Elks Club rooms and was
largely attended The committee on
constitution reported new set Of
laws governing the body which were
unanimously adopted. The dues re
main as before with provisions foI
special assessments when money is
needed. The board of directors was
enlarged to nine members and made a
board of governors. the secretary To
be paid salary.
The following officers Were then
chosen for the ensuing year.
President, r. E. Nye.
Vice President, Fred W. Marx.
Secretary, Alva Filkins.
Treasurer, C. C. Huddleston.
Board of Governors: L. NJ. Markham,
r. l.. Christy, C. Ray Strain, Paul W
Denning, NJ. C. Ward, Alfred Todd
Chas Maxwell, and Sam Woods.
The association is preparing for an
active campaign to promote the best
interests of Lamar in all lines and the
employment of an active and perman-
ent secretary will enable them to dc
much work that has heretofore been OF
necessity neglected.
The Lamar register., 1919-10-01

the second edition was planned. In
many cities exhibitions were staged
in conjunction with the film, in which
live models took part, and which were
the objects OF much comment by both
public and the press. Several joint ex-
hibitions of this type have been ar
ranged.
1t was with u desire to present to
the stylish women of America u fore
cast of what the coming seasons were
to bring that this photoplay was con-
ceived. Men and women IN close touch
with the fashion world, whose repre-
sentatives are continually visiting the
style centers of the world, and who
are in close touch with all gatherings
of creators OF fashions, were called up
on to assist in the preparation of That
Well Dressed Look" SO that when 1t
is introduced in the theatres of the ma
ton it will lack nothing in the way
of originality and preciseness.
Providing clothing for the stylish
woman is no small job, and in filming
garments which are criterions in their
own fields, the utmost care must be
exercised to exploit only those styles
which are typical Of the times, and
which have met with popular favor
with the leaders in this field. Pains
were taken that only garments meet
ing these requirements were used in
! this production.
These facts, coupled with the detail
of almost perfect direction and the use
of the most clever models to be found,
warrant the merit of this production.
In the eyes Of the women Of America,
at least, there is no doubt but that this
second edition of fashions will meet
with favor. Clothes are interesting TO
all women and most men. The story
woven into this little playlet will find
responsive thrill in the heart Of any
audience, no matter where assembled.
THAT Well Dressed Look" second
edition, will be shown at the Lamar
opera house, Monday and Tuesday
October 9th and 7th, and the coats
and suits at The w. J. Johnston Mere
Co.

NEW OIL EXCITEMENT
Big Strike at Burkburnett, Texas, En-
Especially Cotton County
Oil 4 Gas Co. Lot
Holders.

Word was received Monday and af-
terwards fully verified that a well
flowing one barrel of oil per minute
was struck on the Daniels lease ad
joining the Burkburnett lease of the
Cotton County Oil and Gas Company.
This well came in last Friday and is
getting stronger. 1t was just across
the road from the holdings of the local
company and Immediately caused big
excitement among the lot holders OF
the company and investors generally.
The well came in at 1850 fet.
Messrs. Gordon, Cox and McGrath,
who hold an l8-acre lease in the same
section closed contract on Tuesday
with J. p. Campbell and q. +. Creaghe
whereby the latter drill on their lease
on percentage basis. Messrs. Camp
bell and Creaghe left the same day
for Wichita Falls to take charge of
the work on their contract. This
strike makes it as near an absolute
certainty that the Cotton County OIL
and Gas Co. will strike oil as Is pos
sible in this world Of uncertainties, and
should a strike be made anything near
approaching this one, the price of lots
will go soaring skyward US they own
10 acres right alongside the new well.
At prevailing prices the Burkburnett
lease alone is worth more than the en-
tire price Of all the lots plated by the
company, and it is no wonder that ali
are now congratulating themselves on
their luck in buying lots.

OPENING OF HIGHWAY BIDS
In Spite of Handicap Lamar Contract
ors Run Denver Men Close Race

The contract for the construction of
the Ia miles concrete roadway from
the north line of Main street in the
City of Lamar to the first corner north
of the bridge was let last Thursday in
Denver by the State Highway Com
mission. The successful bidder was a
Denver contracting firm and the price
is a little more than $4,000. The
firm of Ford and Filoon of Lamar was
less than two thousand dollars above
the successful bid, and this in spite
of the fact that they hid to figure on
buying an outfit of machinery for the
work costing many thousand dollars.
AS they had not been in this line OF
work before they would necessarily
have to purch; sc a complete outfit
and this placed a considerable handi-
cap on them in competition with the
city outfits which have been doing this
kind of work for number Of years.
The local firm came much nearer The
city contractors figures than any of
the home bidders at other towns in the
valley where contracts were let at the
same time, and it shows that they
are figuring close on the work they
are doing. 1t is expected that work
on the road will soon begin End will
be completed yet this fall. The city
should get busy and push the plans
for street paving to keep pace with
this work.

TRYING TO LAMP ROYALTY
President Wilson and His Hundred
Million Dollar Retinue Pass
Up Lamar.

Three thousand people of Lamar and
vicinity, many of whom had driven
fortv miles to see the President, and
a brass band stood on the railroad
right-of-way last Thursday evening
for thirty minutes and gazcd with
wonder and amazement at three gaily
uniformed negro porters and at the
most magnificent train that ever pass
ed over the Santa Fe. 1t was an 'in-
spring" moment for the hundreds of
school children whom the advance
notices had specially requested to be
present to gaze on these magnificently
clad porters end wonder what their
boss could be like. One old farmer
who had come fifty miles stepped up
TO one of the porters and said, (which
of you three be Woodrow ?" The
porter replied, Thanks, sah! for the
compliment, but the big smoke is in
side and doesn't c. re to be bothered.
The train remained some time but this
was all the Lamar people got to see
of their wandering scion of royalty.
All agreed that he had provided sup
erb train out of that hundred million
private fund, tire porters were gorge
Gus and well fed. The rctinue of wallets
and chambermaids had most elegant
quarters, but whether the president
was along, or his wife and that mag
nificent line of Paris creations which
the trip was designed to display, OF
George Creel or Barney Baruch or any
Of his other geological freaks, is a
locked secret so far as Lamar citizens
are concerned. We learn he was able
to appear at both Rocky Ford and Ii
Junta and just west of Rocky Ford
stopped the train and took = long walk
but some insist he was sick at Lamar
others that he received the report al
La Junta of the first test vote on the
League of Notions and it put him te
bed. Anyway and yet, the people OF
Lamar who had been invited out tc
see the president were not even ac'
corded a pleasant smile. Those who
two days later had the privilege OF
meeting the. Syrian Princess were
unanimous in the opinion that rea
royalty is far more democratic and ap'
proachable than the imitation branc
acquired through an European trip al
public expense.

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

The amount OF government land
open to homestead entry in Colorado
at the present time is approximately
8 800 900 acres, or about 100000 acres
less than was available at this time
last year and more than 5,OOO,OOO acres
less than was available on July !, 1916
The records Of the State Immigration
Department show that the inquiry for
homestead lands in Colorado is fully
as heavy at this time as 1t was three
years ago, but the amount of desirable
homestead land remaining open to en-
try has decreased SO rapidly In that
period that homestead lands are being
entered now only about one-third as
fast as they were at this time IN 1916.
II is generally conceded that not to ex-
coed 25 per cent of the remaining
homestead land in this state is suit
able for occupying under existing con
ditions, and most Of that which might
be profitably entered lies SO far from
railroads that only u bare living could
be made from it for some time to
come. In spite Of these disadvantages,
however, hundreds of people are com
ing to the state every month to look
for homestead land. Many Of those
who are unable to find suitable land
open to entry are renting Colorado
farms or are purchasing land lying
nearer to railroads.
Some Of the best business openings
in Colorado are for the establishment
of laundries in some Of the smaller
cities and larger towns Of the state.
The State Immigration Bureau in its
annual opportunity survey found tha.
an unusually large nuraber Of good
Colorado towns are without leundries
and the people of these towns are
anxious to have the town laundry done
at home instead of being sent to the
nearest town having a Laundry. Any
one knows anything about the laundry
business, who has some money TO in
vest and is looking for good location
for laundry can find out just where
to go by writing to the Colorado States
Board OF Immigration.
The State Immigration Department
will in a short time publish revised
edition of the seven district booklets
which have been used for three years
by the department to put in the hands
Of people from other states who are
seeking information about the re-
sources of Colorado. The new book
let will be enlarged considerably and
all information will be brought down
to date. They have been very effective
in bringing new settlers to Colorado
and it is believed that the new issue
will have considerably more drawing
power than was possessed by the orig
tnal issue.
