a long string Of autos loaded with
visitors from here added much to the
crowd.
All visitors speak in the highest
praise of the fair and Baca county.
The exhibits on the first two days
were fine. Much of it WIS destroyed
by the baby cyclone Saturday evening
which wrecked two-thirds of the agri-
cultural hall. The racing program
was good also, and the sport program
was pronounced by all to be superior
to the wild west show at the Rocky
Ford fair. Besides the regular adver-
tised program special races and con-
tests were staged that filled up every
minute of the time.
The attendance was SO large that the
Holly airplane could not keep up with
the desire of the visitors to ride even
at the ten dollars per price, and the
waiting list was still a lengthy one
when the fair closed necessitating the
director remaining over another day
to accommodate the eager patrons.
The fair association finds itself as
a result of the attendance able to meet
all bills for the first time without col
lecting from the Springfield citizens
for q deficit.

LARGE LAND PURCHASE
Nathan Davis Investment Co. Of Oma-
ha Buys 1860 Acre Ranch

Judge Nathan Davis of Omaha,
senior partner in the Nathan Davis
Investment Co., large real estate con-
cern of Omaha, has been in this sec
ton several days the past week look
ing for choice investments. Among
other large purchases he bought one
ranch of 1860 acres about 80 miles
southwest of Lamar for which he paid
about $40 per acre. He expects large
movement of people from that section
Of the middle west to the Colorado
lands the coming year, and determin-
ed to get him a few choice ranches
ahead of the rush.
The Judges company expects to
make colonization campaign in this
valley during the coming fall and
spring and have arranged with F. A.
Cox, manager of the McIlvaine-Cox
Realty Co., to work with them and
handle this end Of the line. The Judge
says the past few seasons have serv-
ed to attract the attention Of the farm
ers of his section to these fine lands
and it being one of the last oppor-
tunities left in the little old U. S. A
to get farm at small cost means
that they will not much longer be al
lowed TO remain idle, but will soon be
bought up by farmers and investors

BUSINESS PLENTY AT HOME
America Has Plenty of Work for PresI-
dent at Washington.

The u S. A. is passing through an
experience that will probably cause a
law to be passed as to the duties of a
president. Mr. Wilson for the past
year has been gadding over the world
with his nose in everybody's business
but that which he was elected to at
tend to, and in the meanwhile compli
cations have been piling up at home
which threaten the very foundation Of
the government. The big steel strike
is the first rumbling Of the storm, but
unless he forgets about his League Of
Notions and takes a hand in maintain
ing law and order in the United States
as he swore he would do when he took
the oath Of office the whole nation will
soon be face to face with the most
desperate conditions. Let Europe solve
her problems and we can solve ours.

Mr. Rupe has secured the sales in

poets to place lighting system on

He has just returned from overseas

have offices in Columbia, and will
work out from here, visiting all of the

With this new light the farmer can
light his home, his barn and all out

power and furnishes light at the small
cost of about four cents per hour for
fifty lights. The housewife will be

Major Horace Frierson, late of the

appointed United States Commission
er at Columbia by Judge Edward Y.

court. Major Frierson will succeed
j.. |. Finney who resigned a short

will at once enter upon the discharge
Of his duties,
MI. Finney resigned a month ago
as he found that he would not have
the time to give to the duties of the
Office that was required He was
twice appointed by Judge Sanford,
resighing first to do war work. After
his return to Columbia he was again
appointed but after a service of few
nontas was compelled to resign.
Major Frierson was not an appli-
cant for appointment, but was per
suaded by his friends to accept the
place as a public duty. A better ap-
pointment could not have been made.
Before he volunteered in the armed
service of his country Major Frierson
was attorney general of this circuit
and is therefore thoroughly familiar
with the criminal procedure. He
has proven his loyalty and devotion
TO his country and can be depended
upon TO safeguard the interests of the
nation. His appointment will not in
