IN JUSTICE TO THE Y. NJ. c. A.

(From New York Tribune. Jan. 15.)
There is danger that a very grave
injustice will be done the Y. NJ. c. A.
Our fighters seem to be in a Crouch
with it. The most human quality Of
youth is gossip. "If they didn't kick,
they wouldn't fight" said an officer in
France last summer when he remind
ed "Y" secretary that his doughboys
were kicking about their mail, their
food, their quarters, and their pay.
Before the armistice was signed we
used to hear that the Y. NJ. C. A. was
open to criticism behind the lines, but
that at the front the services rendered
under fire were beyond praise. One
secretary attached to his battalion
marched with the men thru Paris on
the Fourth of July. Secretaries were
mentioned in citations and were elected
honorary members Of outfits.
You can't very well criticise n man
gun nest through barrage to bring
you smokes and cookies and chocolates
and letters from home. And the re-
cords show that secretaries did things
like that. Many were wounded, some
were killed.
The secretary in his hut back in the
training area had harder time and
less opportunity to win popularity. He
was a country storckecper, janitor,
a theatrical booking agent, promoter
Of athletics and librarian rolled into
one.
Formerly the criticism one heard of
the Y. NJ. C. A. took these difficulties
and differences into account, and was
at least discriminating; but now it is
becoming fashionable to say unpleas-
ant things about the organization, and
much of its really fine work is disre-
garded.
When you remember that each mill
tary unit formed its opinion of the
whole Y. VI. C. A. organization from
one Y. NJ. C. A. secretary you can
realize how much energy, tact and re-
sourcefulness each of many hundreds
of secretaries should have had. I'm
fortunately many of them didn't meas

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
Pass Resolution Authorizing City At
tOrney to Push Light Plant
Measures.

The regular monthly session of the
city council was held at the city hall
on Monday evening and important
business transacted. A resolution was
unanimously adopted instructing City
Attorney w. +. Fee to proceed with
the many necessary legal measures
necessary to get the proposition of the
city building its own light plant be-
fore the people and the bond issue that
will be necessary to finance the same.
The legal papers necessary will be pre-
pared and passed and the election held
in any event. If the utilities commits
sion refuses to grant permit to city
to build its own plant and the legis-
just law that gives them any control
in such matter, Lamar will then face
the proposition of voting a commission
form of government to relieve the pre-
sent unbcarable situation.
The judges of election will have
some job at the coming election and
the voters also. There are four diff
fercnt propositions to be submitted
and owing to varying laws of elector-
al qualifications each will be voted in
separate ballot box and the judges
forced to see that only those qualified
vote therein.
The election of officers will be vot-
ed in one and all qualified voters can
vote there. The proposal to build a
plant will be in another and all tax
payers who are also qualified voters
in Lamar can vote on it. The bond
proposition can only be voted on by
qualified voters who are taxpayers and
have paid taxes in the last year. There
will also be a proposition for the city
to sell a useless city lot to Mr.. ]. r.
Stinson. The council has appointed
judges of election as follows:
First ward-Edw. Steward, II. p.
Syp and Mrs. Nellie Bartlett.
Second ward-Mrs. Alva Filkins, J.
T. Kirkpatrick and Mrs. ]. r. Gould.
Third ward-Mrs. w. l.. Pollard,
Mrs. II. C. Davis and W. E. Cade.

LARGE DIVISION COMING HOME
The 10th Division in Which Are the
Colorado State Troops Order
ed Home.

The 10th Division is now at Borde-
aux awaiting their turn to be trans
ported home. The Colorado state
troops belonging to the 157th Regi-
ment which is in this division and our
old Co. ID in command of Captain II.
C. Byrnes is part of the regiment.
Quite few of the Lamar boys and
many from Prowers county and ad-
joining counties belong to the company
still. The division also includes the
l45th machine gun corps to which a
number of our boys also belong. Ross
Downing, who belongs to this corps
has written home that they are all
ready and only waiting their turn at
the transports. The 115th ammuni-
tion train corps also belongs to the
division. This corps is in command of
Major +. ID. Householder and also has
some of our boys with it. Word has
been received that Major Householder
will be detached and held in France
for other duty. 1t is most likely that
this county will be more largely re-
presented in this division than in any
other that returns from cover there"
and it means-a considerable increase in
the number of our returning soldiers
before spring is far gone.

BIG LODGE MEETING
One Hundred Masons Greet Grand
Master on Visit to Local
Lodge.

On last Thur3day afternoon and
evening one Of the largest lodge gath

at the Masonic Temple in spite of the
fact that the light plant did every
thing in its power-or lack Of power
to make it impossible Grand Master

the occasion and two third degrees
were conferred. At the afternoon scs-

light plant quit entirely. In the even
ing J. H. Snyder was raised in full
form. After the degree work there

ure up. That was inevitable.
Perhaps the greatest fault of the
Y. NJ. C. A. was that it assumed too
much burdens. 1t was asked by the
army to run the canteens, and it did.
1t was asked to organize entertain
ments, athletics and educational work,
and il did. 1t was asked to send mon
ey home for the soldiers, and it did.
The army called for more new secre-
taries, and still more. The Y. NJ. C.
A. got them and sent them over, be-
lieving that, even though all of them
weren't ideal, it was better to send
them than to let the landing troops be
without their huts. And the troops
were landing by the hundreds of thous-
ands. The army wanted one secretary
for each unit of five hundred men. But
with the number of men in the army
and the number engaged in jobs which
they couldn't leave at home, that goal
was never reached. Ask the men who
were without "Y" service part of the
time. They will tell you what it
meant. They are the ones who realize
best what our army's would have been
without this organization. The Y. NJ.
C. A. assumed the prosaic, useful jobs.
There was little picturesqueness in its
work. There were weeks and months
of gruelling labor-in warehouses, for
instance.
To dismiss with a thoughtless, un-
informed word the efforts of an organ
ization which has earnestly tried to
do its best is not fair play. One hears
the work Of the Y. NJ. C. A. contrast
ed unfavorably with that of the Red
Cross. There is a sentimental reason,
perhaps, for that. The basic appeal
of the Red Cross is that it helps the
helpless. The Y. NJ. C. A. dealt with
division Of work between the two or
EXAMINATIONS. Soldiers who say they
didn't see Y. NJ. c. A. man or woman
from the time they were wounded un-
til they reached home do not realize
the reason. And they don't realize
how much they hurt the Y. NJ. C. A.
when they make criticism which seems
to indicate lack Of human sympathy.
When a man says the Y. NJ. C. A.
sold dear merchandise he doesn't real
ize that the canteen system. supplant-
ing the post exchanges run by the mil
itary in other wars, was run by the
"Y" by request, with funds separate
from those raised for the regular work
Of building and manning huts, trans
porting supplies and furnishing athlet-
les, educational work and entertain
ment. He doesn't remember, if he
ever knew, that supplies were given
away under fire.

Would Make Pine
 Bluff an Automobile J. Distributing Center

Plans to bring to Pine Bluff whole sale auto houses and to make this city an important point in the dlstr'- button of autos in this section of the country were discussed at a meeting yesterday at noon of the Pine Blutt Auto and Accessory Dealers assocla- tion. The meeting followed noon luncheon at the Hotel Pines.
 It was pointed out that factory representatives of the larger auto mobile companies could work th1s territory to advantage through Pine Bluff. By bringing such distribution plants here, the auto men believe that the importance of Pine Bluff as an auto town will be greatly increas, ed and that the city's business will assume a much larger volume.
 Detailed plans will be made later

 "The record he has made in the last four years" said the ex-champiOn, with his sIeep-producing punches, is one of the marvels of the prize ring, and stamps him as a pugilist with hit ting powers such as few champions have possessed since glove contests succeeded the days of bare knuckle fights"

COSTS MORE TO LIVE IN SOUTH AMERICA THAN
 IN UNITED STATES

SANTA FEE, N. M., July 30 (by As sociated Press) Saving money is a harder task in South America than in the United States, despite the higher salaries paid there, says Flu gene Lujan of Santa Fe, who recently resigned his position as clerk of the American legation at La Paz, Bolivia.
 In letter to his father, who is as- sistant secretary of state of New Mex ico, young Lujan points out that, that one can earn more in South America than in North America, the cost of living is higher. Shoes which sell for $6 in the United States cost SIP in Bolivia. Board and room amount to $50 a month, laundry at least SIP, and everything else in pro- portion.
 Although Spanish is the official language" Lujan writes, "there are many dialects, for the population is considerably mixed We have Ava maras, who are pure Indians; the cholos, or half-breeds; the BOlivians, the English, the French and the Ger mans"
