Cow Testing Association

Holly, Colo, Dec. 13.-Dear Sir
There will be a meeting of the Cow
Testing Association on Saturday, De-
cember 27th at 200 p. m, at the Court
House in Lamar for the purpose of
making reports, electing officers. and
determining the policy Of the Associa-
tion. Unless you show enough inter
est to attend this meeting and help in
bringing out the friends of the dairy
industry, the Association must decide
to go out Of business.
While the directors of your Associa-
tion are firmly convinced that there
has never been greater need than there
is right now for work in building up
the Association, they also realize that
without your cooperation and help
there is nothing to do but to quit while
our financial standing is good.
1t is time for frank expression Of
whether or not the agricultural in
tercsts of Prowers county need the
dairy industry. May we not have a
few minutes of your time Saturday, at
200 p. M?
Sincerely,
The Arkansas Valley Cooperative
Cow Testing Association
w. S. Partridge, President.
Harry Heath, Secretary.

paper, it is needless to recall, deplor-
cd and condemned TIE manifest in
fluence of the presidents single ad-
wiser in promoting policies of pasifsm
and unprcparedness; he undoubtedly
helped to inspire the long submission
to German atrocities, the shameful doc
trine that the extinction of democracy
in Europe was ncra of this country's
concern, and the vicious effort to conf
pei the free nations to make peace
a good deal of hardihcod to assert that
his record as peace delegate COM
parcs unfavorGbly with that of the
president. However fantastic may
have been his pose of craftsmanship,
he at least showed an elementary un-
derstanding of European problems and
the European temperament, and, as in
the issues respecting France and Italy,
strove to cultivate friendship rather
than hostility for America.
Otherwise, his fate is instructive in
that it emphasizes anew a singular and
not necessarily admirable trait in the
presidents personality. Colonel House
was notoriously the sole confidant of
Mr.. Wilson, the one shGrer of his
thoughts. An American president who
is incapable of preserving even single
friendship would seem to be curiously
unrepresentative of the American
character or of the spirit of democracy.

SILOS ARE THE MONEY
MAKERS FOR FARMERS
Leafy Plants Have Vitality Giving
Power Which Grain Lacks-Ex-
periments Prove Worth
of Silage.

Build silos and save money" seems
to be slogan with r. w. Clark Of
the Colorado Agricultural College. One
of Clark's favorite authorities is DR..
McCullom of John Hopkins University.
DIR. McCullom has discovered the
fact that leafy plants have a growth
and vitality giving power that the
grains lack. This power when coupled
with succulency gives the best kind Of
food for all kinds Of animals. This
in measure explains why silage pro-
duces good results when fed to beef
and dairy cattle. The Experiment
Stations are now showing that silsge
in the ration of cattle is necessary for
greatest production, and greatest pro-
fit. The silo is becoming one of the
most important factors in beef pro-
duction.
Increasing the number of silos,"
said Professor Clark, increases the
amount of winter feeding that will be
done. This means more manure for
the land and larger crop yields"

TAG DAY BIG SUCCESS
Young Ladies Meet With Record.
Breaking Success and 1t Means
Christmas Cheer for Many

\ The young ladies who spent last
Saturday in tagging the people on
Main street for the benefit of the
charity fund of the Y. NJ. B. A. met
with big success and found the peo-
pie in happy Christmas spirit, and
consequently it WIS TO task for them
to raise the funds for the usual Christ
mas charity work of the association.
L. NJ. Markham, chairman of the
charity committee, says that the re-
turns show about $3.50 as the result
of the work and this is the record for
the six drives that the company has
made for Christmas work in Lamar
and vicinity.
Each year the holidays finds this
organization doing the greatest
amount of work in this territory to-
wards bringing Christmas cheer into
the homes, which through some mis-
fortune, would pass dreary day of it.
Fine Christmas dinners and many
small gifts for children are distribut-
ed by the committee literally as well
as large amount of necessities. The
money buys food, fuel, and clothing
for the needy as well as gifts for the
children, and all of it is distributed
without any undue publicity.
The young ladies who worked SO
faithfully to make the day the big
= =
ganization are deserving of the thanks
not only of the association but of all
our citizens.

HOLIDAY PosToFFICE RUSH
1919 Christmas Business Breaks All
Records at Lamar Office.

Postmaster Traxler informs US that
the movement of Christmas traffic
both mgoing and outgoing this year
mas baby broken all previous records
Tor the Lamar office. While a heavy
traffic was a regular and steady fea-
ture of the past several weeks it reach
ed Its climax on Monday OF this week
which was the last day fixed by the
government for outgoing packages to
be mailed with any assurance OF get
ting out ahead OF Christmas. On that
day over two thousand packages oil
ali sizes passed over the mailing count
er besides the huge pile coming from
the star routes ana rural routes. These
had not all got out OF the office when
the crest OF the incoming tide hit the
office ON Tuesday morning and all the
storage room was piled high with
packages and the street outside was
blocked with loads headed for Baca
county. To add to the tribulations of
the Z. o. boys the electric juice play
ed out for several hours Monday even
ingl and as none of them had taken
a course in blind reading they had to
lay of and lose much valuable time.
Ii the traffic all over the country has
increased proportionately like the La
mar station, it will be New Years
day before some of the Christmas is
delivered.

WITH MANY THANKS
President Thanks Miners for Only
Freezing the Public Half Way.

The fact that our government as
personally conducted by Wilson is in
fact too proud to fight" was brought
home sadly to every red-blooded citi-
zen last week when the President made
a public proclamation thanking the
striking miners for going back to work
before the public was more than half
frozen. 1t has been only too evident
that our diplomacy under the present
administration has been too supine to
protect Americans abroad, but it was
at least supposed that it would pro-
tect them at home. However, an ex-
change of notes seems to be the best
we can expect. In 1916 the slogan
Of a large element was "ThaLk God
for Wilson" Now they will thank
God if they can live through the VIII
son administration.

THE RETIRED COLONEL

Upon the vanities of ambition and
the vicissitudes of power the moral
lists Of all ages have been eloquent.
Historic figures to illustrate the theme
crowd upon the recollection. The fall
len Wolsey. in the anguish of baffled
desire and vain regrets, is but the
type Of countless statemen stripped of
their magnificence by a royal gesture;
of favored courtiers and courtesans
shriveled by the sudden frown of ma
jesty; Of exalted counselors cast down
from high place to wander thenceforth
in the paths of oblivion.
Even the present prosaic age is not
without its episodes of greatness
snatched away by the whim of fate or
the c.price of power, nor has this
country failed to provide a singularly
moving example. Dull must be the
imagination and unfeeling the heart
which are not stirred by the revelation
that the Warwick of American affairs
has been relegated to the obscurity
from which he SO strangely emerged 4
few years ago; that the enigmatic
Colonel House, maker of presidents
and molder of international politics,
instructor of ministers and disciplin-
arian of ambassadors. no longer guides
the destines of America or shapes the
course of civilization.
Only little time ago there was but
one figure greater, one voice more in
flucntial than his, and to kim was at
tributed the potency Of both. His days
were pageants of power. He break
tasted with imperial ENJOYS and din
ed with presidents and kings, premiers
hung upon his whiskers and courtcd
his favor; foreign secretaries haunted
his anterooms; newborn states be-
sought his influence and nourished
themselves upon his wisdom. And
now, one reads with emotion, he has
sunk to the level of mere private
citizen, superannuatcd politician, a
neglected and discredited ex-confidant
of capric:ouG greatness.
The one compensation Ee may en-
joy is that his fall is treated as an
event of momentous significance. In
n more p-imative age s'~h an incident
as the dismissal of royal favorite
might find no other record than a
discreet paragraph in the court circu-
lar or q misspelled entry in the execu-
toner's private notebook. But the
passing of Colonel House inspires the
chief administration organ to print five
columns of vivid recital, surmise and
explanation. He vanishes in a final
blaze Of diOparaging publicity.
