yellow George Greet Again.

George Creel, it is said, is to be-
come the publicity manager for the
Nonpartisan League, which, according
to story from North Dakota, pro-
poses to capture Colorado in the next
election and put across here a pro-
gram of radical socialism such as was
put across in North Dakota. Having
worked through paid agitators in this
state for several years to make the
farmers believe the sugar companies
were their worst enemies, the league
is now seeking to carry out plan
whereby the farmers pay their own
money for voting league measures. A
sugar company has been organized
with league backing. Stock is being
offered the farmers of this section at
$40 a share. The fellows peddling
this go on the grounds every man in
duced to become a stoekholder will be-
come n political booster for league
candidates at the next election. Then
it is proposed to bond the state to
laht oNet biiiS bVliH eV-oc sugar N""i
pany, tax the people to put it in opera
tion, and give the farmers the bene-
fit. The scheme is economically
wrong to start with, and backed, as
it is, by an organization the loyalty
of whose officers has been many times
questioned, it is something the farm
ers of this section might do well to
leave alone.

Still Talking.

Paw van Diest came down last
Thursday evening from Colorado
Springs and held talkfest at the city

it was as each side was just stalling to
get the other to make the first bluff.
Each discovered that the other had
sat in a poker game before, and the
final result was just hot air that soon
blew away. However some of the hot
air must have got under the boilers

THE PRICE OF PEACE
THE VICTORY LOAN"
(By Harold Davis)

The war is won-but it can never
dollars and cents the price of human
lives lost in the great conflict? Men
went proudly forth to defend their
country's honor, many of them did not
return. Did they go willingly? Did
they finch or shirk their duty? Mo-
They went, willing, glad to sacrifice
all, that their country might live.
Their sacrifice was not in vain. Ger
many today is a conquered nation.
There is much, however, that yet re-
mains to be done. Our country is in
debt. We cannot, with honor, allow
her to remain in debt. As those boys
went forward, willing to give their
lives, so must we come forward with
our dollars. As fathers and mothers,
as brothers and sisters, as fellow
eountrymen, of an army that fought
and conquered a beast that threaten
ed the civilization of the world, we
must give our dollars to assist our
country to look the world in the face,
to defend itself from that child of
proverty and famine, which is throw
ing many nation into chaos-Bol-
shevism.
We have work ahead. Let us not
shirk. The government will soon call
fore another loan, the Victory Loan,
and our duty is plain. We can never
pay for the lives that were lost, no
pay~-was asked, they were given for
their country. This country, our
country, is now calling on us, not to
give our lives but merely te loan our
dollars. Let us put the Victory Loan
over the top, let us show the world
that our heroes did not sacrifice their
lives in vain, that their countrymen
will not allow their country's honor
to fall, but will support it, through all
difficulties, with firm unyielding
grasp, that the touch of God alone
shall alter.

HELP TO CLEAR RECORDS
Provost Marehal Saunders Asks Prov
ers County Citizens to Furnish In
formation Regarding Draft Men
Who Are Classed as Delinquent ON
the Rolls of This County.

Miles G. Saunders, provost marshal
for Colorado, has sent to the Sparks
a list of military registrants in Prov
ers county who are classed in the of
fieial records as delinquents or desert
ers because Of their failure to answer
when summoned in the various draft
calls. 1t is realized that many men
who are thus classed have served in
the army and navy during the war and
are entitled to clear records. Many
volunteered for service after registra-
tion and neglected to report the fact
to the local exemption board.
Most of the names in the list sent
by Provost Marshal Saunders are
those of Mexicans who failed to an
swer draft calls through ignorance of
law, and practically all of them claim
ed residence in old Mexico.
The letter of Provost Marshal says:
"We earnestly call all citizens to
whose attention this notice may come
to scan closely the following list of
names and at once advise the Provost
Marshal, at Denver, of any informa-
tion they may have which might as

COLORADO WELCOMES 18TH
Demonstration Begins at Holly and
VIII Last Until Saturday Even
ing-Closes at Denver.

Nobody knows or can even guess at
the mob of citizens of all ages, sizes
and conditions that greeted the re-
turning Colorado regiment when the
train arrived in Lamar this afternoon.
Thousands of citizens crowded the
streets and all places where it was
possible to get even glimpse Of the
boys in khaki. The train was late and
a number of different hours had been
set for its arrival, but it was finally
agreed that all factory whistles would
blow half an hour ahead of the trains
arrival so the public would know when
to come out 1t was neraly four o'clock
when the whistles announced that the
train would come in a half hour.
The ladies had prepared lunch of
sandwiches and hot coffee and the men
had smokes of all kinds ready for the
boys. The first section arrived lit
tie after four and was greeted with
rousing cheers. Most of the Lamar
boys were on the second section which
came in fifteen minutes later. They
were soon lost in the mob of enthus-
iastic friends who gathered around
them. 1t was only a small remnant
of old Co. ID that was still with the
regiment, but their friends are legion
and they and their neighbors were all
out for the big reception.
Among the Lamar contingent were
Capt. II. C. Byrnes, Lieuts G. C.
Faurote and Glen Harrison, Sergt. C.
p. Childress, Orlo Householder, Her
man Reinke. Bud Williams, Howard
Steward, Walter Creech, and a num-
ber of others. Horace Frisbie, form
erly of Lamar high school, was also
with them. All were pleased to get
back to Colorado and hoped to soon
be home. Capt. Byrnes said if Uncle
Sam would let him Off he would soon
be located in business in Lamar again.

think of faith as simply having credul
1ity in what is told, but this is not the
case. There are many fine definitions
4 as to faith, but the one / like best is
| the one made myself which reads
4 Faith is believing that what God says
in the bible is true and acting now as
If it were an accomplished thing.
Hope there is nothing conceited about
liking my own setting forth as to faith
best.
After calling to mind the triumphs
of faith as given in the great review,
Paul begins the twelfth chapter with
one of his remarkable "wherefores''
and says that with this showing of
what faith has done in the past. why
should we hesitate to strike confident
| ly, boldly on christian career look
ing to Jesus the author and finisher
of our faith? Well, indeed why not?E
/ remember when studying law and
having opened up the remarkable reas-
onings of Blackstone there came the
word earnest in connection with pos
session of property. Earnest money is
a part payment, possessing Of a
part as evidence of possession of the
whole. One was often given clod
of ground he was to have, as an earnest
of the transfer of the entire piece; or
a piece of wood or twig as evidence
that he was to have the whole house
or property about to be transferred.
Using the legal word earnest" in con-
nection with Paul's definition of faith
it suits me to say Faith is the earnest
of things not SEEN. 1t is the now
possession Of eternal life, the now
having God as a friend and protector,
the now knowing that Gods promises
are. dependable, and the ability to act
as If these were already accomplished.
II we have even one dollar of the pur-
chase price Of a piece of land and
the papers drawn for future payments,
we act for the future as if the whole
amount were in hand. You do not wor-
ry and wonder about the matter So
true faith calls for belief in the prom
Uses of God to such an extent that our
life career is guided as if what was
promised had been fulfilled.
Faith is the vital, life inspiring
thing which must enter into the life
of the christian. 1t is our connecting
link with the power Of God. Someone
said that exercising faith was like
putting up the trolley connection
against the great wire full of electric
power and thus gaining the ability to
accomplish, and that without connec-t
ton by faith in God christian power
did not exist This is about right AS
this faith is so vital to US it is we'll
want it earnestly. The disciples of
Jesus once made request Lord in

be our prayer. If it is impossible to
please God without it, we had best be
looking about to have it in possession.
