paign is now on and every day will sec
fgains made.
Business mems meetings began down
town yesterday morning in the First
National Bank. The meeting today
was held in the Lamar Motor Sales
Co. Store. There were 140 men pre-
sent to hear Mr.. Rayburn in yester-
days meeting, the First National Bank
being practically full to the doors.
Mr.. Tolle who leads the singing is
getting some splendid work done with
the big choir. Sunday night and Tues
day night the platform at the taber-
nacle was full. In the short time at
his disposal he has accomplished more
than could be expected. Mr. Tollc
sings at the business mems meetings
each day. His solos are excellent ia
every way and much appreciated. The
campaign leaders are fortunate to have
been able to secure his services.
The program for this week and for
the coming week is about the same in
tic pan lci otiNitts. 1OllfBc pray tI-
meeting and business mems meetings
are held at 1000 a. m on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
The Bible lectures are given at the

ing at 7:30.
Special things on the program this

naming days of the campaign. 1t is

nacle will be held Sunday evening, May

MATERIAL FOR ROAD
DEPENDS UPON THE
CHARACTER OF TRAFFIC.
People Should Not Build Concrete
Roads Without First Seeing
Whether or Not the Advant-
age Gained Will War
rant II.

Professor House of the Colorado
Agricultural College is one of the best
known engineers in Colorado. He has
been head of the Civil Engineer de-
partment at that College for several
years and has always been in close
contact with the affairs of the state.
In speaking to a representative of this
paper about roads, Professor House
says:
"A great deal of agitation is being
carried on at the present time, con-
cerning the construction of concrete
roads for Colorado. That some of
our roads shuld be paved in this way,
there is no question, but | think we
should carefully guard against over
doing the matter. In order to be just
ifiable. road improvements must re-
turn in economic and social benefits
an amount at least equal to the in
terest, depreciation and maintainence.
over and above those of the old road.
at is exactly the same as in ordin-
airy business. The amount that should
be invested in road improvement is
that sum, which will give the largest
annual returns in benefits to the peo-
pie of the community.
at may be real economy to spend
100000, per mile for one road and
only 100000 per mile for another, if
the former carries more than ten times
the traffic of the latter, for it then
renders more than ten times the serv-
ice and costs just ten times as much.
Before we run wild upon the sub
ject of concrete surfacing for roads
of Colorado the proper classification
of the roads, and careful study of
the amount and character of the traf-
fic over them should be made, and it
is the duty of the state officials, be-
fore any general scheme of road i'm
provement is decided upon, to make
this careful study. The state is then
prepared to determine upon the prop
er highway system that will be the
most economical, and that will meet
the traffic requirements Of each road"

NEW HOTEL FOR LAMAR
W. A. Love Secures Location and Or.
ganizes Company TO Build
Fine Hotel.

w. A. Love, who is president Of the
Oklahoma hotel mems association. and
has been for some time looking for n
good location for a hotel in Lamar,
returned last week from a trip east
during which he secured a deed 10
three lots ON the corner just aoros &
Main street from Strain Bros. bust
ness house. On his return he organiz-
ed a company to build a fine three
story hotel building on the lots So
cured, and it has been incorporated
with W A. Love, Eli w Gregg. w.
II. Brown, F. H. Kelsey and J. V.
Sayler as directors.
The plans being prepared promise
one of the finest hotel buildings along
the line in this section OF the countiv
and the estimated cost is in the
neighborhood of one hundred thous-
and dollars. Mr.. Love is a thoroughly
experienced hotel man and had his
early training in that greatest Of all
hotel systems, the Fred Harvey Sys-
TEN.
The hotel accommodations in Lamar
have been very inadequate for a num-
ber of years but this big new hotel
with the additions under contract to
some of the other hotels will have the
effect of making travellers much more
comfortable here.

fine presentation Of the claims Of
christianity on the time of men today.
He told the story of John Hyler the
famous candy maker who was a great

christian world. Next Sunday after
noon at the same hour Mr.. Rayburn

pected that large audience will greet
him. Delegations from surrounding
towns are expected.

OVER THE TOP
Salvation Army Home Service Dri, e
Proves Easy in Prowers
County.

Chairman Chas H. Wooden reports
that the drive to raise money for the
Salvation Army Home Service fund
was easy so far as this section was
concerned. The work of the army
has made reputation for itself that
has won a place in the hearts of the
people so strongly that in the future
they will never have to face the priya-
tions and heart breaking uncertainty
that their faithful followers have en-
dured in the past.
So far as Lamar is concerned the
active work of the campaign was con-
fined to the business district and three
or four workers spent just twelve
hours, but they went several hundred
dollars over the city's quota of one
thousand dollars Everybody gave will
iingly and literally and the committee
had to endure none of the rebuffs and
slams that have marked number Of
other drives.
From the county encouraging re-
ports are also received. Granada has
already gone over the top, and Holly,
Hartman, Bristol and Wiley promise
to take care of their share of the
fund
