were uncertain whether he was the

rushed forward to make the capture.
For he was riding a German officers
horse, be had on a German officers

the iron cross, all left by German Off

To what il will stand.
The greatest surprise of the evening
came with the presentation OF the facts
about Prowers county's Industries by
Manager f. NJ. Wilson of the ID. A.
NJ. & p. Co. He showed that the
county's manufacturing plants shipped
out over $500 ears of products last
year, which sold for over five million
dollars. The milling industry leads,
alfalfa meal to the amount of $4,000
tons was shipped out at value of
nearly two and half millions. The
farmers received more than half of
this money and the labor payroll was
about $4,000 per month. Ten plants
were running. The flour mills bought
three quarters of million bushels of
wheat from the farmers and manu-
featured into flour, shipping over two
thousand cars of the product out.
Sugar beets to the amount of $437 900
were produced and beans to theamount
of S238,000, and even honey reached
total of over 100000 pounds in the
county's shipments for the season.
The Helvetia Condencery received and
manufactured over one million pounds
Of milk monthly and paid the farm
ers over 100000 for their products.
Many were surprised to learn that the
Holly Garage was manufacturing auto
tools and had shipped over eighteen
thousand to outside markets. Mr..
Wilson's figures were eye-openers to
all present and on motion of Mr.. Good
ale it was unanimously voted that they
be furnished in whole to the papers
for publication.
T. j. Sayler presented some interest
ing details as to how to cheaper feed
ing of stock and r. j. McGrath boost
ed the oil industry almost as strong
as Mr.. Martin did the refinite promo
tion.
The meeting wound up with big
boost for a worlds fair in connection
with the National Y. NJ. B. A. conven-
tion here in 1920 by Chas. Wooden,
who secured the convention and firmly
believes anything is possible in La
mar.
More meetings like it was the unan-
imous verdict.

of the needs Of the company was great
ly delayed by the Capital Issues Com
mittee.
The Intermountain Company has a
large investment in the City of La
mar, and County of Prowers. Its in
tention was to build up a large central
power station at Lamar to serve the
needs of the City of Lamar and its
Inhabitants, and the consumers scatter
ed throughout the County. The war
compelled temporary abandonment
of the plans.
Since the first of January these
now out for additional and larger
equipment that will adequately sup
ply the community and surrounding
territory. The company is now in a
position to say that there is bright
prospect for better service and great
er service. In spite of the fact that
during the past year the entire re-
ceipts of the Lamar plant have been
81 100000 less than the operating ex-
penses only. not counting the amount
which should be set aside for taxes,
depreciation and interest, the company
is planning to install new equipment
as soon as the same can be procured
from the manufacturers. The orders
for the supplies and equipment neces-
sary for the extension of the street
lighting system are now being pre-
pared, and they will be installed as
soon as received.
The Company believes that the
sources of the poor service will soon
be entirely removed, as the most in
efficient of the employees have been
replaced by better men, and the equip
ment will shortly be greatly improved
and increased.
The company regrets the conditions
that have brought about the present
emergency, but the same were beyond
the control Of the company, and the
company requests of its customers
careful consideration of the circum-
stances in an unprejudiced and unbias-
I'd manner 1t cannot be to the in
terest of the community to give any
large investment in the community
less than reasonable consideration.

According to u published statement
Of his majesty's trade commissioner
to New Zenlhnd. who has lately visited
the Fiji Islands. the rubber Industry
is receiving much attention In those
islands. and New Zealand farmers
have planted large plantations there

II is claimed that there are thousands

well adapted to this industry, and II
Is expected that extensive develop

that this will be come a profitable In

ADVERTISEMENT
TO THE PUBLIC

Few people have considered in an
unbiased manner, the difficulties un-
der which public utilities have been
endeavoring to operate since the be-
ginning Of the war.
Everyone knows that he has been
paying two or three times as much as
he ever experienced before the war
for the ordinary necessities of life,
such as bread, butter, eggs, etc. Every
farmer is paying two dollars where
he had been paying one for machinery.
All merchants have been forced to pay
inexperienced and often inefficient help
higher wages than had previously been
paid the trained men who left their
work TO enter the army.
The public has calmly and willingly,
in most cases. met this increase in
prices and wages; has put up with the
lack Of delivery service, with inferior
service on the part Of all utilities deal
ing with the public. such as railroads.
telephone companies, and telegraph
companies.
However, there has been, on the part
of some who have perhaps a private
grievance, a disposition to attack bit
terly The Intermountain Railway.
Light and Power Company, which has
been laboring with the very difficulties
which have beset all other enterprises
during the war period.
Just prior to the outbreak Of the
war, the company had started on a
program of expansion. When this
fact is borne in mind with the ad-
ditional facts that coal costs were in
creased 100 per cent or more, freight
rates were increased, wages promptly
followed. and with all classes Of sup
plies necessary to the conduct of the
business leading everything else in ad-
vance, it will be realized that the COM
pany was laboring under unusual diff
ficulties. But by far the greatest diff
ficulty Of all which the local public
utility as well as others, was compell-
ed to endure lay in the very poor and
inefficient quality of the labor which
the draft and government require
ments left for the conduct of highly
technical business; these inefficien,
employees through gross neglect ad-
ded greatly to the expense and operat-
ing difficulties.
As a result the service was directly
affected. This the company realized
and was anxious to remedy. However
to improve Immediately the service
was impossible. Money necessary tc
meet increased prices for materials
and labor could not be borrowed dur
ing the war period, and the financing
