The Lamar Motor Sales Co. have at

enough stock of Dodge cars so they
can keep one or two on exhibition. An
other carload arrived last week. This
is evidence that the supply is again
becoming somewhere near normal. The
only way they could keep one in the

to paddock the door.

HIGH SCHOOL MEETING
Citizens Asked to Meet With Board
to Discuss New Proposals. for
Enlarging School Facili-
ties.

To the Voters and Patrons OF School
District No. A.
A year ago the Board of Education
of this District called attention to the
crowded condition of our schools in
Lamar. and the need of additional
room and facilities. The matter was
presented in the form of a proposed
bond issue of 100000 for the purpose
of building a south wing to the High
school, as contemplated by the original
plans therefor, and also adding large
west wing to include n gymnasium and
manual training department. Owing
to war conditions then prevailing. and
the feeling that it would be wrong to
divert materials and labor from war
purposes. the proposed bond issue was
defeated.
Now that the war is over, however,
conditions as to labor and materials
have changed. But the need for more
room for our school still obtains, and
becomes more pressing, and the school
board feels it would be derelicit in its
duty IL it did not again bring this
need to the attention of the people of
the district. The conclusion has been
reached by the board and superinten-
dent, however, that the improvements
contemplated year ago constitute
adequate provision for the future, and
that ii would be better at this time to
simply build the south wing to the
present High school building, and lat
er construct an entirely separate build
ing, as the need for the same shall
develop. 1t is also thought that, to
satisfy the need for a gymnasium at
this time, a temporary structure should
be erected for that purpose, which can
be done at comparatively small ex-
pense.
At the present time the need is pres
sing for more class-rooms and study
rooms for the high school, and two or
three additional grade rooms. Our
agricultural and domestic science de-
partments, especially, are hampered
for lack of sufficient room; the Lin
coin building is over-crowded, with one
grade in basement room; and the
last room in the Pioneer building has
now been fitted up for classes. We
have no present provision whatever
for growth of our school population.
The improvements which the board
and superintendent believe should be
made this year will involve an ex-
penditure estimated at about $4,000.
Before calling a bond election how
ever, to vote on the proposition, mas
much as the issue was defeated year
ago, the board have thought it best to
hold a public mass meeting for dis
cussion of the matter, and have ac-

JOURNEY OE CIGAR CLERK COOK
 ENDED BY DEPUTY

Henry Terrelfs absence from the city was so brief that the populace generally had not noted that he had gone. But Joe Strinker knew that vacancy had been created by his de- parture, both in his money till at his place of business on South Center street and the place on the floor that had previously been occupied by suit case and hand bag.
 Strinker made known his discovery to the sheriffs office where he gave accurate plans and specifications of the missing Terrel. Deputy Sheriff Dewitt figured that Terrell had de parted from town by rail. He had learned that he was a cook by profes sion and would therefore not attempt the hardships of a desert or mountain road. The deputy sheriff knew also that there was only one train by which Terrell could have gone early on Mon day morning; that train went north.
 Accordingly he telephoned the sner ifs office at Prescott so that on the arrival of Terrell he was met at the train by Sheriff Davis. Deputy Sheriff Evan Wilson went after him and brought him in yesterday morning. He was arraigned before Justice Wheeler on q charge of embedding $20.46 from Joe Strinker. As that was only a misdemeanor he readily pleaded guilty to that. But the property in the hand bag and the suit case was valued at between $20O and $500 That was a | different matter and Terrell was then held on a charge of grand larceny. He was held in the sum of s1.000.
 The suit case and bag, MT. .Strinker explained in court, contained wearing apparel belonging to two pair of hon eymooners, MT. and Mrs. w H. Terry and MT. and Mrs. Houver of Yuma, who left the baggage in his place of | business Monday when they departed for the White mountains
