"PASEO PLACE"
New Addition To Lamar Is Now
Certainty and Means Many New
Residences.

The city council on Monday evening
at last passed the ordinance closing
certain alleys and portions of streets
in the southeast part of town, and
opening a handsome new boulevarde
between First and Second streets. The
new addition covers half of block A
and all of block b, C and d in the
Bank Addition to Lamar. The streets
running east and west and alleys in
these blocks are all closed and a new
boulevarde made in the center running
north and south and at each end con-
Meeting with both First and Second
streets, leaving a small block of lots
facing the boulevarde from the north,
one of equal size facing from the
south, and a large block on the east
and west sides. In all there are fifty
lots and all face the boulevarde.
The plans for this new addition are
ed "Paseo Place" The association will
construct and park and maintain the
boulevarde, and the lots will be sold
under certain restrictions. Each pur-
chaser will be required to sign con-
tract to build a residence of not less
than S2500 contract price, and build
within twelve months Of the date Of
purchase.
'Paseo Place" will be one of the best
located and handsomest residence sec
tions Of our city and the restrictions
on buildings will insure a substantial
class of residences all through the ad-
dition and will also insure that large
number of handsome new residences
will be constructed in that addition in
the next twelve months. Lamar will
benefit materially by the laying out
of this new addition in many ways, and
it will be one Of the handsomest show
places Of our city. For those who
like the writer don't know what the
name is about or how to pronounce it,
we will state that the discoverer Of the
name calls it "Pay-say-o" with the
accent on the say.

NEW OIL COMPANY
Lamar Business Men Organize New
Oil Company.

]. p. Campbell and G. F. Creaghe
returned from Burkburnett on Sunday
with glowing account of the new oil
well on land adjoining the lease, which
they recently contacted to drill for La
mar parties. They promptly organic
ed a company of local business men to
furnish the capital for completing
their contract and drilling 1900 feet if
necessary. Mr.. Campbell will return
to the field tomorrow to look after
securing an outfit and starting the
drilling operations at once. Later re-
ports from the field are to the effect
that second big gusher has come in
lust east of their acreage, and prices
of leases have jumped up to thousands
of dollars per acre. There is much
excitement among local investors in
that field.

A little girl was heard to remark at
the game Saturday that she liked the
Syracuse suits better than Lamar's.
No wonder. Lamar's suits are patches
and pieces. Socks, Jerseys, and in fact
nothing matches. But Lamar will be
able to do her best in the games one
of these days when she gets some new
suits.
One of the best lyceum numbers
that ever invaded Lamar was held on
last Friday evening in the high school
auditorium. They were the Montague
Singers. The music was all good, but
the japanese Operetta ut the last was
excellent. There was not u number
but was applauded by everyone. The
next number will be the Woodland
Singers in January. The whole course
is practically paid for. The high school
students have raised most of the $500
which the course costs.
The candy stand of the debating club
made about S12 Friday night, SO the
club will now be able to subscribe for
some debate papers and magazines.

DEER SEASON
Many Were Called to The Cedars but
Few Were Served.

The cedars in Las Animas county
season on deer with hunters from all
parts of the valley. Parties were or
ganized by the dozens and there were
a number of these from Lamar. The
deer, however, were scarce and it was
extremely hard to get near enough to
sprinkle salt on their tails SO the
score was low. Only three so far as
we can hear came to Lamar. The
Register is forced to admit it was in
serious error last week in stating that
Roy Cooper and Frank Sayler would
be away until next February, because
they were the first ones home and
brought a fine buck. They furnished
The Register ample and delicious proof
of its error. On Sunday evening
County Treasurer j. Russell Mayfield
brought in a fine one which he had
killed. Then Ira Robinson brought one
in, and right there the score ended,
so far as Lamar was concerned. Num-
erous parties brought back reports of
having knocked dozen or so down
but they never found the remains.
Bob McGrath armed with a rabbits
foot and bunch of alfalfa camouflag-
ed himself for twenty-four hours try
ing to induce one to try to eat off his
covering and then lost him. He says
though that he left watch down there
and may get it later-the watch that
is. A number of our people went up
west of Canon City for the open sea-
son, but had no better luck than those
that stayed near hons.

BOARDING COWS LIKE
LAZY HIRED MAN
Should Be Fired" Forthwith and Re.
placed by Real Producer.

How many dairymen would keep q
hired hand on their place who got up
when he felt like it, worked when he
felt like it, and did just as he pleased,
Such a hired man would be losing
proposition and the man who would
keep him would soon become bankrupt.
On the other hand, how many dairy
men are keeping boarder dairy cows
that produce just as little milk as they
feel like producing. with little or no
profit to the owner?
A dairyman cannot afford to keep
a man that does not do more work
than he is paid for doing. Neither
can he afford to keep a COW that does
not return more money to him than
he puts into her in feed and labor.
How many cows in your herd are
returning fair profit for the feed
consumed and how many are return
ing little or nothing or even costing
money to keep? The profit made from
a COW depends upon the amount of
butterfat produced and the cost of pro-
ducing same. Monthly records and
the Babcock test will detect the board
er cows. Why waste time and money
on cows that do not pay for their
keep f. Spangler, Colorado

BULL ASSOCIATION
HELPS SMALL DAIRYMAN
No Dairyman Can Hope For Continu-
ed Success if Handicapped by
Scrub Bull.

A bull for beef purposes is worth
just as much as the butcher will give
for him. But a bull at the head OF
your dairy herd is either worth more
than you could get for him at the
slaughter house or he is worth so much
less that it would be safe to say he
is worth less than nothing.
A bull that sires a daughter that
is worth less than her mother is a
money-losing proposition. One often
hears the remark, my bull isn't much
good, but he is better than none ct all"
This remark in itself shows that the
speaker is either new at the business
or is barely making ends meet. A
dairy business knows that If he wishes
to continue his success he cannot be
by scrub bull.
1t is true that a good pure-bred
bull, and many small dairymen cannot
afford to put out the money, but any
group Of eight or ten farmers can get
together and form a bull association
and thereby get the services Of pure
bred bull at less outlay Of capital
than they can get by using a grade
bull.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Glenn Mclaughlin

Lamar has high school football
team that can play like all of the old
teams Lamar has had. This was prov
en- Saturday when Lamar defeated
Syracuse, Kansas, 20 to o. This was
the first high school game that all Of
the boys except one had ever played
in.
The game started when Lamar kick
ed the ball to Syracuse. A little later
and Lamar had the ball and touch
down was made by Jerald Beavers,
after which Leo Smith kicked the goal
Soon after the second quarter began
a touchdown was made for Lamar by
Howard Hall and the goal kicked by
Leo Smith. That made the score at
the end of the first half Ia to o. Dur
ing the last half both teams played
little sitter game. There were no more
touehdowns until the last part of the
fourth quarter when a touchdown was
made for Lamar by Lowell Lovall.
Leo failed to kick the goal and that
made the final score 20 to o, Syracuse
never scoring. However, once in the
second quarter Syracuse just had
about 10 yards TO go, but Lamar
brought them back. Lowell Lovall
made two other touchdowns, but neith-
er counted, for in the first one SYRIA
cuse's quarter just did beat him across
the line and in the second one of the
players was not in line because he had
been hurt. Lamar's team was com
posed of Jerald Beavers, full back;
Lowell Lovall, right half; John Hen
kins and Paul Pearson left halls; Leo
Smith, left end; Paul Beaubien, left
tackle; Thomas orton and Kenneth

SHAMEFUL STORY MUST BE
A SHOCK TO THE NATION
(From the Kansas City starr

In spite of previous bitter exper-
ience, the Nation cannot fail to be
astounded and shocked over the action
OF the War Department in releasing
Joseph Brandon, the leader of the con-
scientious objectors at Camp Funston.
The shameful story was told in the
Star yesterday afternoon.
Brandon was one of the foremost of
the defiant and disloyal band who, If
they had their way, would have turned
over their country to the foe. The
administration went the limit in cater
ing to the eccentricities OF these men.
1t did not ask them to fight. All it
required was that they perform nom
combatant duty.
The religious conscientious objectors
accepted this policy in good faith. The
Reds refused and did everything pos
sible to make themselves obnoxious
and to destroy discipline. Brandons
offense was SO conspicuous that he was
sentenced TO death by court-martial,
then his sentence was reduced by the
commanding general to twenty-five
dent to five years. His conduct during
his brief imprisonment was intended
to show his contempt for the govern
ment. He even disregarded the COM
mon decencies Of life.
After he had been sentenced to death
and his sentence commuted he wrote:
From what little news we get, we
almost go crazy for joy when we read
waving over more and more territory
in Europe"
And this is the man who is singled
out for release after few months
Of confinement The only thing lack
ing Is the failure Of the government
to provide him with transportation to
Boston to take part in addressing the
mobs there.
Do the President and his Secretary
of War really consider an attempt to
strike down the government while il
is fighting for its life 30 trifling M
offense? DO they wish to impress on
the country that disloyalty is of no
consequence! Or why do they follow
the policy defined by Secretary Bsk-
er as doing all that public opinion
will stand in the interest Of conseien-
tious obiectors?"
We should be unfaithful to those who
have died in France, says the Presi-
dent, if we do not adopt his League
of Nations. So it is urfaithful to those
who have died to stand fast for
Amcricanism, but it is not unfaithful
to give couhtenaree to the men who
tried to destroy what we were fight
ing for!
