In one of the best ball games ever
played on the Ebert diamond the
Ebert team defeated the Brooks
Clothes Shop team OF Denver last
Sunday. Both teams made some
wonderful fielding plays, the pitch
ing OF Cole and Brown was a little
too strong for the Denver boys.
julie Peterson pegging to second cut
off several base stealers. The Dem
yer boys proved to be regular gent
lemen, there was none OF the rowdi-
ness and beefing that has taken
place in former games. The score
by innings:
Ebert 0 0 0 l 0 0 0 l 3.
Brooks 0 20 0 / 0 o 0 Il.
Brooks team of Denver will tackle
Ebert again next Sunday.
Among those who took In the cir

are thrown upon the market the
price declines. The best security
in the world today. as good as the
money in your pocket, carrying fair
rate of interest. with every dollar
worth OK property in the United
States back of them, they have IN
the past several months steadily de-
clined in price. There could be no
other reason than they have been
thrown on the market in great guam
titles.
Money is Tightening up, as the
bankers express it. Many large
concerns that invested millions In
bonds now need the money, and they
are throwing them on the market.
Many persons who spent more than
they could afford within the past
eighteen months. and went into
debt, now find themselves in need
of money, and they are sacrificing
their bonds to get it.
But the supply of liberty bonds
will soon be in the hands of people
who will not have to dispose Of them
and then the price will begin to as
cend. That is why we feel we
can't tell Liberty bond holders Of
this vicinity too often nor too EN-
phatically to hold onto them. The
man who holds on need not be con-
cerned with the prevailing price;
the man who can buy them at pres
ent prices and hold them will be a
winner. The rate at which the
bonds are now selling does not re-
fleet anything wrong with the Uni
ted States. 1t reflects only the
pressing need for money now OF
thousands who a few months ago
had enough to loan the government
some.

Lamar Should Get Busy

The business men and organizations
of Lamar should get busy at once If
they wish our city to get proper credit
for its real population in the reports
of the census now being taken. 1t is
well known that a very large portion
of the real city is not in the corpora
tion, but under the census rules the
corporate section is given to one set
of enumerators, while the outlying ad-
ditions to the city are included in the
large election precincts in which they
are situated and unless a special or
der is secured from the division direct
or at Denver will not be taken sep
arately from the rest of the precinct.
1t will then be impossible to get an
accurate count Of the real population
of the city and we will get much lower
rating than that to which we are en-
titled. Steps should be taken to Sc
cure the proper order from the direct
or which we are informed has not been
issued to the enumerators of those
precincts yet

CENSUS STARTS
The Entere Country Is Being Given
the Once Over by the Govern
ment Agents.

On Monday of this week the enum-
orators of the government started out
to take a poll of the people of the
United States, find out just how many
nephews and neices Uncle Sam has,
the color of their hair and eyes, their
ages, nationality, what kind and how
mcny clothes they wear, brand of
cigarettes smoked, and whether they
work and what atm fact get their
family history. 1t isn't necessary to
tell the cnumerator about your lady
or gentleman friends, although many
of them might be willing to listen to
your tale. They will be fairly busy
for the next two weeks or more. The
entire job must be completed by jan
uary 31st. Prowers county has ten
enumerators at work after much labor
was expended in inducing them to take
the jobs. Rev. ard Mrs. J. E. Rains
are the enumerators for Lamar. The
fact that so many people do not un-
derstand that the enumerators are not
trying to pry into any PERSONS private
affairs, but are simply asking the
same questions of everybody-and
questions which the government deems
necessary for the good of the entire
people in order to make intelligent
statistics on many important subjects
of vital import. Also it is not gen.
orally known that after the enumer-
ators show their authority any dis
courtesy shown them in the proper
discharge Of their duties or failure to
answer the required questions lays the
person refusing liable to fine or even
Imprisonment. Therefore it is the part
of wisdom to meet them fairly. answer
the required question and save both
yourself and them unnecessary trouble.
