BREAKING INTO
SwIFTEST COMPANY
ID. A. NJ. 4 p. Co. Occupies Double
Page in Saturday Evening Post
Last Week.

There are not many companies in
Lamar that could afford IA double page
ad in the Saturday Evening Post, and
none of those would pay for it. How
ever the Last issue of the Post contain
cd double page ad Of the Goodyear
Rubber & Tire Co. that is as much a
booster for the biggest alfalfa milling
company in the world as it is of the
Goodyear people. 1t contains picture
OF section of the d. A. NJ. & z. Cos.
MeClave mill grinding alfalfa, with
write up OF methods OF the company
and especially Manager f. NJ. Wilson
in always securing the best of every
thing in the way Of machinery and ap-
the twelve big mills.
1t was only thirteen years ago that
Messrs. F. NJ. Wilson and II. S. Green
had the ground broken at Hartman for
the first alfalfa meal mill in the world.
and in the few years that have elapsed
it has grown into one Of the big in
dustries of the country-the very foun-
dation in fact of the great mixed
feed industry. This industry has not
only revolutionized the feeding indus
try of the country, but it has done
equal wonders for the farming indus
try of the Arkansas valley. When II
started TO contract hay few years ago
at So Ser ton it was a new era for
farming here as alfalfa was usually
bringing from So to So and then only
to be fed in winter Since that date
the price has been almost continuously
up and has never touched back to the
Sc rate.
The D. A. M. & P. Co. was not only
the pathfinder Of the new industry
but has been leading the van all the
time under the able leadership Of Mr..
Wilson and his efficient corps Of as
sistants, and today it is still the big
gest alfalfa milling company in the
country. The company is so firmly
established and widely known in the
business world today that even the
largest concerns are willing to pay
thousands Of dollars to advertise that
it uses their goods.

the naval blue and gold of several
countries were conspicuous. In every
direction were American Army and
Navy officers, and men well known in
the political, business, and social life
of the United States.
The chief mourner was Mrs. Gorgas,

arm of Major General Noble, of the
United States Army.
The bearer party of Guardsmen laid
the draped coffin on the catafalque, un-
der the dome, in the midst of six tall
candlesticks and environed with flow
ers and laurels. Singing the sentences,
Il am the resurrection and the life," to
DIR. Crolps music, the choir had led
them up the nave. The music chang
ed into that oil Psalm xc., Lord, Thou
hast been our refuge" The first hymn
was Nearer, my God, to Thee" The
lesson, from l. Corinthians, XIV, 20-58,
was read by the Dean, who was assist
ed in the service by the Rev. w. p.
Besley, the Sub Dean. Then was sung
the second hymn, Lead, kindly Light"
The service ended with "The Battle
Hymn of the Republic" that magical
chant, Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord" which for
long had disappeared from the recol-
lection Of London until the war brought
it back to memory with a deepenei 4

RAINING SOME
All Records In This Section Shattered
by the Carlton Rain.

On Sunday night Lamar had rain
fall of over two inches and left the
town almost in sea Of mud and water
Many places were almost isolated and
the library block was an island and
that institution could not be opened
until evening. But the fall of moisture
here was just dew as compared To
what happened to the east of US. AT
the A. b. S. Co West Farm Az inches
fell and at their Center Farm Ga
inches, while around Carlton there WAS
no guage of any kind-not even a rain
barrel out in the open-that could hold
it, The Santa Fe Trail had regular
gullies washed through it and the
tourists were piled up by dozens of
carloads at each gully. Temporarily
Carlton was a city and the spirit Of
its genial and optimistic former
boomer must have reveled in the de
lights of dream come true. The
damage to the ranches in that section
was great and was enhanced by the
breaking of the Lamar canal allowing
more water to pour down upon the
already swamped region. Messrs. NJ.
j. McMillin and Geo. f. Case were
heavy losers as well as a number OF
others. The rains were heavy and did
much damage for q long distance in
every direction, but the worst of it
was in that neighborhood.

Passing Him Along

Two American Legion boys from
Garden City here on Tuesday discoy-
cred a stranger in Lamar who had
been preaching bolshevik doctrines in
various Kansas towns and was even
accused of starting fires in one town.
The members of the legion had been
sending him on his way as fast as they
found him in a town. The boys here
cornered him and let him know that
at the least word of disloyalty he ut
tered here he would be severely
handled and he took the first train
further west hunting for place where
the people would be more enthusiastic
in favor of his doctrines. The boys
here refuse to act on suspicion alone
but any overt act by these anarchists
will be quickly dealt with.
