its being June and for five days were
badly needed. There was very notice
able frost one morning but it never
quite reached freezing point here, al
though it fell as low as SO degrees on
Tuesday morning. During the time
two inches of rain fell, but there was
no snow here. Most sections of the
state however, report snow as falling
during this storm. We hope the rain
was worth million to the farmers be-
cause it was certainly that amount of
inconvenience to the most of US. The
oldest inhabitant is trying to dig up
few comparisons for US but we will
not wait for him to figure them out
as we are more than satisfied to let
it alone and hope for better things in
the future. At least we won't grumble
when the thermometer hits the hund-
red mark in a few weeks.

PAVING MAIN STREET
City Must Get Busy and Pave Main
Street or Look Like Back
Number.

The funds already allotted by the na-
tion, state and county insures that the
Santa Fe Trail will be paved this year
from the north corporation line of the
city Of Lamar to the point north of the
bridge where the road turns west. 1t
is also probable in fact almost certain
that five miles of the trail east of
town will be paved. The county of
ficials have been earnestly at work to
secure this big improvement for the
county, and the appropriation commit
tee of the national and state funds for
road improvement have already CANT
ed more than enough funds for the
first proposition and will, it seems
probable, grant the second also.
1t is now up to the city dads. Will
they permit visitors to our city to ride
up to the corporation line over paved
roads and then drop onto a bumpy
dirt road to skid and chute the chutes
Or will they get in the game and see
Lamar in the class where she belongs
leading the good roads movement with
Main street paved from the north line
Of the city to the south line of the
library block. The business men and
city officials should organize at once
and see that Lamar paves at the same
time that the road work is done.

Weather Man Don't Seem to Know

These million dollar rains are all

heart! We are willing to be million
aires, but don't want to have as many

One million dollar rain or even three
or four will do us all right, but when
it comes to sousing us with them every
day, and chilling the marrow in our
bones at the same time, we are ready
to admit enough is a plenty.

DECORATION DAY SERVICES
Observance in Lamar More General
Than for Several Years.

Decoration Day, which had seemed
in the past few years to be losing in
interest to the people is evidently get
ting a new hold on the public as a re-
suit Of the world war and our boys
share in it. There was more interest
taken by all classes here than for sew
eral years.
The day was the most beautiful one
this year, and but for the unfortunate
bandit scare in the south country there
would have been a much more elabor-
ate parade. The Lamar Rifle Club,
which had the general charge of the
parade feature was called out in a
body and their work had to be done
by others at the eleventh hour.
In the morning the Prowers County
Council of Defense wound up its af-
fairs and quit for good. The program
included addresses by the Chairman,
ID. b. Novels, and Mrs. W. S. Part
ridge of Holly, chairman of the wo-
mems division.
The principal oration Of the day was
delivered by Hon. c. C. Goodale, one
Of the veterans Of the great Civil War.
and one of the most eloquent orators
OF this section Of the state. All the
programs of the day were filled with
special music which was greatly ap-
preciated by all the large crowds pre-
sent at the services.
After the afternoon program the
parade marched to the cemetery where
Kit Carson Post decorated the graves
of the old veterans and the citizens
generally decorated the graves of rel
atives and friends.

two days which were all well attended
and subjects arising out of the condi-
tions prevalent all over the country
were discussed by number of speak
ers. The principal speaker and man
ager of the campaign was Rev. j. Ad-

Welfare Board, and who has been con-
Quoting the same kind of meetings all

Speaking of the portfolio Of coffee
ads placed by the American commit
tee, Mr.. Brewer says: There Is not
the least doubt that this will be of
the greatest help to us in pushing
coffee here, and we shall make the
fullest use of it.
when tea was short here about a
year ago there was a magnificent
opportunity for the trade to push
good coffee, but many did not. So
far as we are concerned we did, and
the result today, even with normal
supplies of tea, is that we are selling
more than double our pre-war guam
tity and we can see no reason why
that should not be doubled again.
There is no earthly reason why
