BIG CLASS At X. AND
l.. OF S. LODGE SATURDAY
National President Confers the De-
grees and May Visitors Present
at Big Celebration.

The wind-up of the big membership
drive of the Lamar Lodge of Knights
and Ladies of Security was one Of the
biggest successes in the lodge history
of our city. The class numbered about
thirty-five and brings the total for the
drive, which has been conducted by
District Deputy Geo. W. Duffy, up to
over two hundred and the membership
roll of the lodge to near the five
hundred mark.
There was a crowd of over two
hundred members out at the Fraternal
Temple to greet the national presi-
dent of the order, J. NJ. Kirkpatrick Of
Topeka, Kansas, who presided at the
initatory work. The work was put on
with moving pictures, and was both
instructive and entertaining. The La
Junta lodge was represented by de
legation of seventeen members, head
ed by District Deputy Munroe.
After the initiatory work and the
address by the national president there
was a general social session with a
big dance and refreshments, which
lasted until late hour, and was en-
joyed by all the big crowd present.
This lodge is now the largest lodge
of any kind in this section Of the val
ley and will probably hold the lead
for some time.

Probably no better example could
be given of the policy of the war de-
partment in scattering men than the
above. Company ID of the Colorado
regiment was recruited here and had
over one hundred and fifty men at the
Time from Prowers, Bent, Baea and
kiowa counties. If the above list as
taken from the Denver papers is COM

Denver is preparing to give the

way to Fort Russell, or bring them
back on a special train after demobol
izing.
Later-There may be more of the
l.amarites with the regiment than
first published in the roster of names,
as Tuesday evenings Denver Post
publishes a picture of Capt. G. c.

Lamar friends had not heard either
of his promotion or his removal of
residence to Denver And while they
are ready to believe and extend con-
lgratulations on the former they be-
lieve the latter is just another ex-
ample of Denver claiming everything
worth while in the whole state. As

Progress on the D-C-D Highway.

w. A. Palmer, secretary and general
manager of the Dallas s-Canadian-Den-
yer Highway Association has recent
ly completed a trip from Canadian to
-naitss. and intermediate points in the
interest OF the highway. He held
meetings in all the towns between
Canadian and Dallas, and he reports
that the people are very active in the
matter of improvement of the high
way, and, without exception, every
town is loyal and doing everything
possible in the interest of the D-C-D
He reports that Denton County, Texas,
has recently voted one and one-half
million road bonds, and every mile OF
the D-C-D in that county will be hard
surfaced. From Dallas to Lewisville,
in Denton county, the D-C-D highway
goes over a splendid graveled pike.
Cook county, just north of Denton,
will vote on April 18th one and one
half million good road bonds. and. like
wise, every mile of the D-C-D high
way in that county will be hard sur
faced. A magnificent steel and con-
crete bridge has recently been opened

for traffic across Red river between
of Gainesville, Marietta, and Ardmore
have raised a fund of six thousand
dollars to grade and clay the stretch
of deep sand north of Red river in
Love county, Oklahoma. Love county
will soon hold an election to vote one
hundred and fifty thousand for good
road bonds. Carter county's portion
of the D-C-D highway is about COM
pleted and this includes twenty miles
of road west from ArdnIpre having a
crushed rock base with gravelcd sur
face. Every town on the line has
promised to make immediate improve
ment in their respective sections by
Regarding, filling in bog holes and
dragging. Splendid concrete bridges
and culverts are being placed on many
sections of the road and there is gen
eral activity. Practically every town
between Canadian and Dallas has paid
its quota in full for the expense of
the association.
Mr. Palmer spent considerable time
in Ardmore in conference with the
Chamber of Commerce perfecting the
plans for the annual convention in
Ardmore on June IO-1l. He also re-
ports that every town on the line will
send a large number of cars to the
convention, and up to date at least
five hundred cars have promised TO at
tend the convention, with at least
twenty-five towns yet to report A
splendid program is in preparation.
Governor Robertson, of Oklahoma, will
make the closing address on the night
of June ilth. S. VI. Williams, Presi-
dent of the Highways Industries As
sociation Of the United States will be
one of the speakers. A delegation
from Canadian will make a trip on the
Northern section of the D-C-D as far
as Colorado Springs during the month
of May for the special purpose of ad-
vertising the Ardmore convention;
likewise a trip will soon be made as
far South as Childrcss, and little
later to Oklahoma City.
Mr.. Palmer says that no highway
organization in the United States can
show more interest and activity on the
part of the people along the line than
the Dallas Canadian-D Denver highway.
During Mr.. Palmer's visit to Ard
more the business men held meet
ing and unanimously agreed to raise
fund of six thousand dollars to as
sist in financing all highway organiza-
tions having line thru Ardmore. He
cites this as an illustrious example of
how the best towns feel toward trans
continental highways.

State Agricultural Report.

Reports received from county as
SCISSORS in all sections of the state in
dicate that practically every county
will make complete report to the
State Board of immigration on acre
age of crops planted or to be planted
in 1919 and on other subjects covered
in the agricultural statistics act pass
ed by the Twenty-second General As
sembly. County agricultural agents,
secretaries of commercial clubs, rail-
road officials and others interested in
such information quite generally agree
that these county reports will be of
inestimable value, to farmers them
selves as well as to others interested
in the movement and marketing of
farm products. Each county will be
supplied with a complete report for
that county as soon as the data furn-
ished by the county assessor is COM
pleted in the office of the State Board
of immigration, which will probably
be early in July.

ALL REPUBLICANS URGED
TO ENLIST IN SERVICE OF
VICTORY LOAN DRIVE
Nations Next Great Duty" Says
Chairman Hays, and All Parti-
zanship Should BE Put
Aside.


inan Will II. Hays, of the Republican
National Committee, today issued
call to all Republicans urging their
united and effective support of the
Victory Loan. While the call is pub
licly issued to all Republicans, it was
also sent directly and personally to
all Republican national committeeman,
state chairmen, all state organization
workers. all county chairmen and all
precinct committeeman and to the Re
publican newspapers, asking them to
suspend all political activities until the
success of the loan had been assured.
The text of the appeal reads:
TO the Republicans of the Nation:
Again the call for the charge has
sounded.
This is not for the fighting men at
the fighting front. For them the war
Is over. Their part is accomplished to
their own everlasting honor and the
glory Of the nation, and no additional
burden should be theirs.
But to the rest the real test has
come.
To those whose privilege it has been
TO form the second line, and to whose
credit it is recorded that they, too. at
tanned every objective; to those from
every class, creed and political faith,
who acted in that unselfish coopera-
tion which brought to the fighting
men the support that made so much
for the complete vindication of our in
stitutions; to the men and women Of
America, who do not fail, has this
call come.
Let us show to these fighting men
who have returned how commands
have been obeyed here. Let us send
to the fighting men still abroad the
message of no weakening. Let US
show to the world that our patriotism
is not that born only Of extremities
and stirred only by martial music. but
the devotion which meets a duty in
the firm determination of consecrated
service, and performs it. And let Us
to ourselves that we are
worthy Of the name American and the
privileges Of our citizenship.
Our first duty as Republicans today
is that duty which We have never fail
ed and never will fail to anticipate
and discharge-our duty as Ameri-
cans. Just as during the recent war
We determined our every act by how
we could do most for effective action.
so now we will measure our every step
by how we can contribute most to the
Nations welfare.
To that end we will abandon all
other activities to aid in the Victory
Loan until its success has been accom-
plished.
For this purpose let the Republican
Press and every member of the Repub-
lican organization enlist in the Victory
Loan drive. The national, state, coun-
ty, city and precinct organization Of
loyal working Republicans will enroll
to a man in this service.
This is the nations next great duty.
1t is our privilege to exhaust the pos
sibilities in our same splendid support,
with the knowledge that those who
may oppose us in political strife are
joining fully with us in this effort
WILL H. HAYS.
Chairman,
Republican National Committee.

VICTORY LOAN TERMS
The Fifth and Final Government Loan
Drive Will Begin Next Week
and Last Three Weeks.

Announcement of the Victory Loan
terms brought general surprise, es-
pecially in the limitation of the
amount to $4,000, 100000, with all
oversubscriptions returned. The coun-
try had been led to estimate the offer
ing at one-third more. The rate is
higher than that of any preceding loan,
Az per cent, with exemption from
federal, state and local taxes, except
estate and inheritance taxes and sup
four years, with the government re-
serving the option to take the notes
up in three years. The only privilege
of conversion is with the 3$4 notes,
exempt from all taxes, except estate
and inheritance. These notes bear
one-fourth of / per cent more interest
than the first Liberty bonds, which
have the same taxation exemptions.
Secretary Glass announces that this
will be the last popular loan, although
government necessities will require
issues of treasury certificates from
time to time, and there will be refund
ing operations in few years.
The money to be raised by the Vic
tory Loan has been mostly spent. The
low limit signifies the purpose of ap-
pealing to individuals rather than to
banks. We have often pointed out
the danger to the business community
of having too much of the funds of
the banks tied up in such securities.
There is also a danger of too great
credit initiation. The more Of the loan
that is paid for through current saw
ings, the better it will be for the coun-
try in several respects. This is pro-
badly the reason why such liberal
terms are offered. The payments will
be 10 per cent at time Of purchase. 10
per cent in July and 20 per cent a
month for four months. These six in
stallments will be comparatively easy
to make and whatever banking assist
anee may be required will be for only
a brief time.
The quota for Colorado has been
fixed at little over s2S,OO0,00O. with
Denver being asked for about thirteen
millions and the outside counties for
fifteen millions. The quotas for the
different counties have not yet been
announced, but ours will be consider
ably less than the one last fall. All
the committees are now organized and
the drive will be again in charge of
District Chairman n. n. Mclean and
County Chairman F. NJ. Wilson, who
so successfully put over the third and
fourth drives. The Captain for La
mar will be Ray f. Adams and most
of the old workers are getting ready
for the final effort. which will carry
Lamar and Prowers county over the
top with the last of the various gov
ernment drives. One more long and
strong pull and it is all over.
