Here's bit of news that may
sound like common sense when
considered with the announcement
this week that the government had
called off its sale of army blan-
Fets: Steel helmets having been
adonted officially as part of the pr
mv's war equipment, steps will be
taken to insure a reserve supply of
the new type designed in the
American expeditionarv force.
British helmets will be disposed of
except for about six hundred
thousand.which will be kept until
production of the new model is as
sured."

JUST FOUR YEARS OLD TO-DAY
Instituted May "a, 1915, With Just
Fifty Members 1t is Initiating
Class of More Than
Double That Number
Today.

1t was just four years ago that the
dream Of the few Lamar members Of
the great order of Elks at that time
that a lodge Of the order should be
established at Lamar was realized and
Lamar Lodge No. 1919 was instituted.
II was through the open banded good
fellowship of La Junta Lodge Of the
order that the charter WIS granted,
and then as today. their splendid de-
gree team generously came down and
put on the work. This team has long
had d state reputation for its splendid
and effective degree work. and Lamar
was indeed fortunate in securing their
help for the big class Of l26 candidates
ready for today's class. 1t is especi-
ally pleasing to Lamar Lodge to have
the same team which SO generously
instituted the lodge here again today
for the initiation ceremonies Of the
largest class in the history of the
order.
Lamar put on some show for the
new organization then as the follow
ing account taken from that weeks
issue of the Lamar Register will show:
Monday was the big day in Lamar

and the town wore more gala attire
than at any time since the Ramal day
celebration Of the establishment Of
the Heivetia Condensery mere. The
occasion this time was the 18th ami
versary Of the birth Of the town, but
the principal cause for the decorations
and the jubilee was the installation Of
an Elks lodge here. Lamar has at
last become familiar with anniversary
celebrations although still fairly
new city, but every place cannot have
an Elks lodge and our citizens were
considerably enthused over that event
Nearly all the business houses Of the
town were well decorated with the
Elks eolors. purple and white. and
there were u large number Of elk and
deer heads and few goats used in
some Of the most attractive windows.
The proceedings began with the
arrival Of the La Junta delegation on
Train No. s at 1880. and u big pro-
cession of visiting and home Elks led
by the Lamar band marched to the
armory where a big dinner had been
prepared for the visitors. 1t was a
feast where no expense had been
spared to see that all were Hospitality
treated. and that the visitors might
know the baby lodge was worthy Of
an order devoted to hospitality and
charity.
After dinner they repaired to the
lodge room n the Fraternal Temple,
where the crack La Junts team spent
the afternoon in branding and dec
Grating with horns class OF twenty
candidates. There were enough
friends among the already branded
Elks in Lamar TO see that each Of
the new members got everything that
was coming to him and then some

the new officers busily at work foi
some months before the rush is over
1t is probable when the work already
cut out is completed it will be the
largest lodge of the town and one OF
the strongest ones of the state. The
question of home for the new lodge
will be one of the first to be solved
as the Fraternal Temple is already
too crowded to make satisfactory ar
rangements for the new order
"The day marked the successful con.
clusion of the efforts Of several Of

have been hard at work for several
years to secure this lodge. and they
are feeling correspondingly elated.
1t is great order with a noble pur-
pose, and Lamar is to be congratulat-
ed that there will be home of the
great organization located here. The
visiting members were given the free
dom OF the city and both they and La
mar seemed pleased with all the pro-
gram.

The major, being a native of Alb
beville, has a right to talk. He also
knows conditions. He has given US
a bitter-sweet dose which will do us
good to swallow and, ruminate over.
He has pictured for us bright fu-
ture, but a somewhat dubious pres
ent, and it is the present we have to
live in, So it is for us to bring to
pass conditions, which he has pic
-tured in prophetic strain. And Ma
jor Hemphill is an excellent prophet
with well-balanced imagination.
All that he has said of Abbeville
will be realized. Tomorrow the vote
on the bond issue for paving the
streets of Abbeville will be held.
There is no doubt as to the issue of
the election. Then will come more
paved streets, a commercial club,
street cars, a public library, more
stores and better public spirit that
will not tolerate a run-down-at-the-
heel appearance Of any property in

GERMANY.s cHAsTIsEMENT

= 1t would appear that the Allied
world in general is just a little too
anxious to hear weeping and wailing
in Germany. 1t. will do Germany
good to do q iittlea real weeping,
though we doubt if it comes from a
repentent heart or will even be con-
ducive of repentance ;but it wont do
US any good to get any pleasure out
of her travail. -
What would we think of a parent
who got pleasure out Of the 'chastise-
ment of wayward child? We stand
in the same relation to Germany.
The peace terms are giving Germany
her just deserts, but the terms are
hard and will no doubt cause suffer
ing in Germany, which is right. For
Us to get pleasure out the troubles
whieh she has brought 1down upon
herself would place US in the same
category with the Germans in the
past war, when they showed them
selves capable of all kinds of cruelty
refined and unrefned.
However much Germany will suf.
fer from the peace terms she will no,
suffer a fraction of the amount
which she makes out. Like the
Email boy that is whipped, there will
be much crying for effect. A right
attitude toward Germany will take
an element of bigness, there mus1
be a clear perspective. We mus
realize the business of the peace
terms; we must understand that they
are harsh. Our own reaction is i'm
portant.

AN EDITOR FROM VIRGINIA.
(Spartanburg Journal.l

Mr. HI G4-Glark,. formerly editor
of the Rome (Ga,).. Tribune-Herald
and later editor of the Salem, >tVa.)
Times-Register, has been installed as
editor of the Abbeville, Press and
Banner. He is a native of Virginia,
was graduated from Hampden-sid-
ney college in 1911, was recently dis
charged from the army with a lieu
tenants commission, has had much
practical experience in newspaper
work and it is promised that ''he
will make the Press and Banner a
better paper than it has ever BEEN"
which means that he will have to
get up early in the morning and stay
up late at night; for, as the Hon. W.
P. Greene says in announcing the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Clark TO his new
position, "the running >, ola county
paper is an eight -houraday job for
even a man who loves to work.,
= In breaking His editorial connec-
ton with the paper, which he ->has
conducted with much success for the
last four; years, Mr.. Greene expresses
the pleasure he has had in the work,
the delightful experience he has had
with the working members of the
craft in the State, the regret he feels
in retiring from the field because of
the demands of his. profession at the
bar and the single object he had in
acquiring the paper to- make it worth
while, to rtmake it have opinions and
to express them whether anybody
agreed with them or not" He turns
The Press and Banner over to Mr..
Clark with the statement that 'sthe
editor will have his own views and
will conduct the paper without inter-
ference from the owners. He will be
responsible for his views to the pub
lie and his own conscience" That. is
the wisest thing he could have done
and the safest thing. If the new
editor says what he thinks as we'll
as Mr.. Greene said what he thought
and Says the. right thing, ss Mr..
Greene invariably did he viii vii make a
great success in his new field and
will never want to go back to Georgia
or Virginia.

THE DISTRICT JUDGESHIP

AS was to be expected the friends
of a good many prominent lawyers
and of some of the judges of the
state are mentioning their names as
suitable men to succeed Judge JOS
eph T. Johnson as judge of the Un-
tied States District Court for. this
district. Most of the lawyers whose
names have been mentioned and all
of the judges whose names have
been mentioned are capable Of filling
the Office with distinction and with
satisfaction to the people. . ..:
We trust that the lawyers. of the
district will, not allow themselves to
become partisans in the contest. It
is not matter of. any particular in
terest to the bar of the district who
is selected;0 but it is matter o.
considerable interest to obtain. the
serviceSof a good man. H.the pow
ers that be desire the; deliberate
judgment Of the members Of the
district itznight be well to. call to-
,gether the lawyers of the district
who are licensed to practice in the
court and have them certify as a
body the names of a few men, or of
several men, who would; in their
Judgment, fill the position as it
should be filled. We are able to, be-
lieve that. no unworthy man.wouid be
mentioned by them. The ntigants Of
the district are the people to be g
served and nothing should weigh. in
the selection except character, abil-
ty to serve, and fine, and accurate
sense Of, justice. =

of developments today was the jump
