1t is doubtful whether we have ever had as
fine collection of cut crystal as is comprised
in this new purchase Certainly we have never
had finer glass to sell for such prices.
Our own experts insist that there is no
finer crystal made anywhere--in fact, that it
has not been, so far, found possible to produce
a better kind
We purchased this particular lot from

RENOVATION WILL REJUNIVATE
OLD STRAWBERRY BED
Old Plants Should be Hoed Out and
Young Ones Given a Chance To
Form Runners.

As the picking season draws to 4
close, the question of how to handle
the old strawberry bed claims atten-
ton.
After a bed has borne two or three
crops, it usually ceases to be profit
able( and in most cases should BE-
plowed up and a new bed started in
a different location. An alternative in
such cases, however, if the plants are
still fairly vigorous, is to thoroly re-
novate the old bed. This may be ac-
complished as follows, says X. A. Me
Ginty, of the Colorado Agriculaurtl
College.
"As soon as the picking season is
over, the old rows which have widen
ed considerably, due to the spreading
of the plants, should be narrowed down
by cultivation to not more than one
foot in width. If the rows were -four
feet apart originally, this will leave a
cultivated area three feet in width be-
tween the rows. The soil in this should
be well pulverized so as to furnigh a
favorable medium where the new run
ners may take root. The older plants
in the strip left should be hoed out
leaving those which are young and Wig
orous TO form runners. These runners
will take root in the cultivated area
next to the rows and form new plants
which will produce berries next year
'In order to encourage the roofing
of the runners, plenty of water should
be applied by irrigation and, if nee
essary, the runners should be covered
with a small amount of soil at the
point where they take root. Weeds
should be kept down and the necessary
cultivation given thruout the season
.1t is possible, by the above. means
to increase both the quantity and size
of the berries from an old bed"

MORE ROAD MONEY
Government, State and County TO
Spend $4,000 on Prowers Coun.
ty Roads on 50-25-25 Per
Cent Plan.

Bob Higgins of Pueblo, state high
way commissioner for this district, has
been here several days this week in
consultation with the commissioners
over the proposed improvements to the
state highways in this county. The
result of the recent visit Of the COM
missioners and county clerk to Den
yer was the securing for the county of
an additional $4,000 road fund to be
spent on the state highways in the
county as agreed upon by the various
officials. This money comes $4,000
from the national government, $4,000
from the state and $4,000 from Prov
ers county. This is additional To the
amounts previously announced to be
spent on specified roads, and will en-
able the commissioners to a large
amount of greatly needed work. Our
roads had been in bad conditions for
several years and the past winter and
able the commissioners TO do Il large
extent. 1t is hoped with the available
funds to build considerable mileage
that will be permanent at least with
small annual repair bill.

CIVIL SERVICE JOBS FOR
DISCHARGED YANkS

Washington, ID. C., June 80, 1919
Although there is u desi-e on the part
of the Congress, the heads of executive
departments, and the Civil Service
Commission to recognize in all proper
ways the claims of returning soldiers,
sailors, and marines to employment in
the classified civil service, the Civil
Service Commission feels that in order
to avoid misapprehension certain facts
should be bropght to the attention of
the men.
The law provides for certain prefer
ences in appointment in favor Of dis
charged soldiers, sailors and marines
1t should be understood, however, that
preference claimants must qualify in
open competitive examinations unless
they left the classified civil service to
enter the military or naval service.
These examinations are announced
from time to time to meet the needs
Of the service. They must be advertis-
ed for a sufficient time to give them
due publicity; then the papers must
be rated, registers established, and
claims of preference passed upon.
An act of Congress Of February %,
1919, makes mandatory the reinstate-
ment to their former positions Of all
former government employees who
were drafted or who enlisted in the
military service of the United States
in the war with Germany upon their
application and if they have received
an honorable discharge and are quail
fled for the work.

BUTTER SUBSTITUTES
VALUABLE AS
COOKING FATS
IL Used in Diet. Whole Mill, Should
Also be Included.

Margarine is the term applied to
butter substitutes made by churning
fats other tnan butter fat with milk
or cream to a butter-like emulsion.
We have known for long time the
o!eomargarine which is made from
either the "oleo oil" prepared from
beef fat or the neutral" lard especial
ly rendered from leaf lard. These fats
are churned into the milk and the pro-
cess of buttermaking carried out. The
conditions under which the oleomar-
gGrine is made ere certainly very much
more sanitary than in many farm
hous ,holds.
In the last few years margarine has
been made from fats from numb r
of vegetable sourcc8. CottonEeed oil,
cocoanut and palm nut fat are now
being used quita extensively. In all
these fats careful refining is necessary
to remove characteristic tastes but the
results are now very satisfactory.
These maragaines are very much
buNb'it AibAl AZ "
35 cents a pound cheaper. and, lai elled
honestly, should prove valuable sub
stitutes for butter rs culinary fats. The
fuel and energy value and digestibility
of these margarines ere approximately
equal to those of butter.
II must be remembered however.
that energy value is not the entire food
value of butter fat and that diets can
not maintain growth and health unless
a liberal amount of butter fat or milk
is included in them. Therefore if mar
garines are used for table use as well
as for cooking. the housewife must be
certain to buy also liberal allowance
of whole milk Marjorie Shut, Colo

ELKS NEW HOME
First Step Taken in Purchase of Fine
Location for the Structure.

The lots facing on Fourth and Elm
streets just east of the Masonic Tenn
pie and facing the location of the new
court house to be were this week
decided to the Lamar Elks Home Asso-
citation. They cover 100xl40 feet of
ground and make one of the best
building sites in the city for a public
building. These lots were purchased
by members of the order several years
ago and had been held in trust un-
til such time as the lodge should be
able to purchase them. The prosper
Gus condition of Lamar Lodge now
enables it not only to purchase the
ground but to begin making plans for
fine home on the lots. Committees
have been appointed and a vigorous
campaign will soon be started to sell
the necessary stock to insure the build
ing of the home. All members are en-
thusiastic and all desire building that
will be credit 10 the lodge and our
city.

COURT HOUSE SITE
County Commissioners Purchase Main
Street Lots Adjoining Propos-
ed Site.

A delegation of Lamar business men
and farmers from the surrounding ter
ritory visited the board of commission
ers recently and laid before them few
facts concerning the site for the pro-
posed new court house. The county
has a quarter block north of the Jail
site and while this might be room
enough for the building it would leave
very little room for grounds after 4
building adequate for Prowers coun-
ty's needs was erected. Also the Main
street lots just west would always be
open to business houses with the re-
suit that the unsightly scenes along
the alleys in the business part of town
would always be right up against the
best public building of the city. The
delegation for that reason requested
the commissioners to investigate
the possibilities of buying the
lots, closing the alley and building the
court house in the center of the north
half of the block, thus giving the city
control of the entire block except tine
five lots on which the Central schooi
is located. The commissioners were
unanimously OF the opinion that this
was the right thing to do and announe-
ed that they had given the matter seri-
Gus consideration already and arrived
at the same conclusion as had tine de-
Legation. Following this up with their
usual businesslike activity the COM
missioners have secured the titie from
A. T.. Bent to the four lots on the north
west corner Of the block. All that now
remain are two lots belonging to l..
Writ Markham and one to Ii. b. Man
vile. The completion Of this deal may
delay the building of the court house
q year or so, but it is far preferable
to building it in location or manner
that would always detract from its
beauty and be an eyesore to those who
transact business there continually.
The people Of Lamar and Prowers
county have put up with dinky and
inconvenient court house SO long that
they would rather keep it up little
longer while they are accustomed to
it, SO that they can enjoy q real one
when the proper time comes.

HOBART NEXT MEETING
PLACE OF THE D-C-D

w. A. Palmer Of Canadian. Texas,
secretary and manager of the D-C-D
WAS here Friday with a number OF
others who had been attending the D.
CD meeting at Ardmore. He says
they had a splendid meeting at Ard
more, one just full of business, and
that Hobart was selected as the next

elected president and the vice presl-
dents from the different states were
Texas, A. p. Dyer.
Oklahoma, Sidney Suggs.
Kansas, W. C. Washburn.
Colorado, L. M. Markham.
Mr.. Palmer was reelected Is secre-
tary and manager at q salary Of "a 900
which is a compliment to tie splendid
work he has done for the D-C-D.
The convention passed strong resol-
utions favoring national highways and
authorized the extension Of the road
from Dallas to Galveston, and from
Denver to Portland, Oregon, making
Lne RTtdUcbl NA'o@N
way of the nation. The association
voted to raise $4,000 for the year be-
ginning Augurt l, 1919 and will have
a red hot campaign the coming year
on roads for the D-C-D. Mr.. Palm
er expects to make the trip from Dali
las to Galveston in the near future to
effect the organization in all those
towns.
The D-C-D promises to be one Of
the greatest acsets to Elk City that
we could have, and one that will bring
prominuence to our city, and already
a large number of tourists are using
the road, and with the extensions it
will be some highway, believe US, and
we are to be congratulated on having
a man like Mr.. Palmer devoting his
time to this work, for it cannot help
but succeed with him in charge.
