own.
We most heartily thank those orders

ere long Lamar may take up one or

ELKS ANNUAL ELECTION
Nearly $50 Members Out for Election
of Officers and Initiation of An
other Class of Baby Elks.

1t was a rousing meeting of Lamar
Lodge No. 1919, b. P. o. E., that
packed the Elks club rooms on Tues
day evening OF this week. 1t was an
overflow crowd all evening as it was
impossible for all to get in the main
lodge room.
The occasion was the election of the
officers for the ensuing year and the
initiation of another class of candi-
dates. During the past year under
the leadership of Exalted Ruler r. l..
Christy the lodge has made a wonder
full growth, passing all other lodges
in the city in total membership and
initiating over two hundred and fifty
candidates during that time. The
need of home of their own hag be-,
come SO forcibly impressed on all the
membership that plans are rapidly
maturing for its erection.
The annual election resulted in the
selection of the following for the en-
suing year and they will be installed
the first of next month:
]. A. Rourke, Exalted Ruler.
Grover Carrico, Esteemed Leading
Knight.
r. J. McGrath, Esteemed Lecturing
Knight.
Glen kirkpatrick, Esteemed Loyal
Knight.
A. ii. Filkins. Secretary.
Eskel A. Lundgren, Treasurer.
r. L. Christy, delegate to Grand
Lodge.
A. C. Mitchell, Trustee.
Roy Egan, Tiler.
After the election a class Of six
candidates was initiated into the or
der with the usual enthusiasm. A
big lunch was then served to all pre-
sent after which a high class vaude-
vile performance was given by the
Elks concert troupe. Matt ober gave
a very entertaining account of Mutt
and Jef's trials in crossing the Mexi-
can desert, and Brick Householder put
on an acrobatic stunt that equals the
best on the circuit.

avoiding possible annoyance to you"
The Treasury Department has no au-
thority whatever in putting such
language before taxpayer In form
it is an imperative order to pay the
tax when the return is filed, and car
ries an implied threat that unless that
is done the taxpayer will be subjected
to annoyance" The present income
tax law as passed by Congress gives
individual taxpayers the unrestricted
option of paying the tax when the re-
turn is filed or in quarterly install
ments thereafter. 1t is not the bust
ness of the Secretary of the Treasury
to attempt to deprive taxpayers Of
that privilege. 1t is but another cf-
fort on the part of the executive de-
partment to amend or extend without
warrant of law legislation enacted by
Congress, and the Secretary should be
called sharply to account for his i'm
pudence.

Kansas City. and who is not so well
known but tat your curiosity will be
aroused and you will want to come

WASHINGTON NOTES
The Cabinet Demobilized

With the retirement of Secretary
Lansing the Cabinet is demobilized,
and each member confines himself to
the duties Of his particular department
regardless of whether its activities are
coordinating with that of other bu-
reaus to the benefit of the whole coun-
try. The President is pushed about in
his wheeled chair, all his thoughts
centered on beating certain European
diplomats who are trying to straight
en- out an annoying situation on their
own continent. Apparently the most
remote subject in his mind is the well
fare of his own country, and Rear Ad-
lmiral Cary 7. Grayson, d. S. NJ, who
will determine when and for how long
the President may confer with his
Cabinet, does not permit himself to
be perturbed over the situation in the
least.

The Leyiathan Nearly Lost

It appears that agents of the syndi-
cate that sought to purchase the form
er German ships were already on the
Leviathan, formerly the Vaterland,
and had hoisted their house flag over
her as a sign of ownership when the
Supreme Court of the District of Col
umbia enjoined the sale. From all the
facts of the transaction that have so
far come to light it looks as though
the proposed sale was nothing less
than a treacherous surrender to Eng
land at a fraction of their worth of
some Of the best ships in the world
a loss that would seriously cripple our
merchant marine al correspondingly
enhance the sea strength Of our great

FEELING EASY
Railroad Situation Gains Down as
Soon as Private Interests are
Again in Charge.

The predicters Of calamity and up
heavals 20 occur when the great rail-
road interests, the largest single in
stitution of the country, should pass
out of the control of the government
and into private ownership once more,
must have been badly disappointed
last Monday when the change went in
to effect SC quietly and easily that
many of our people have not yet real
lied that it lad occurred. The friction
with the employees and the govern
ment which has been filling the pa
pers for months with scare heads just
disappeared from the front pages and
a short no.c on the inside pages an
nounced that the brotherhOods had all
agreed to settle differences amicabiy
with the new management. In the
few days since the change it is Of
course impossible to realize any diff
ference in conditions, but the govern
ment did one great service. 1t ran
them so bad that the people are Sc
cure in the feeling that any change
at all is bound to be for the better
and are therefore willing to give the
new men a little time to gather their
old competent working forces together,
get rid of the political leeches saddled
on them ard bring order out Of the
blackest political pot ever concocted
in this nation. The men feel better
too for they realize that their lives
are safer working under the regime Of
real railroaders than under that of the
presidents son-in-law and his heelers.

Sugar Prices Unsettled

Trading in sugar futures, which had
been closed by the food administration
for over two years, was reopened
week ago and shows that the best in
formed dealers and traders interested
in this product are very uncertain as
to the future outlook. The May option
was the earliest allowed to be dealt
in and it opened at ten cents, consid-
erably under present cash figures and
has been under that figure most of
the time since with very light sales.
The options for later months are some
what bslow svsn that figure.

Cabinet Officer Now Equals Dummy

After President Wilson has announc-
ed to the public, in his letters to Mr..
Lansing, that he will not tolerate any
independence Of mind in his cabinet,
it will be rather humiliating for any
other man to retain a cabinet seat. No
man likes to acknowledge that he has
accepted the subservient position the
President declared he expected Lans-
ing to assume.

Wilson Simply Normal Again

Col. Harvey sees nothing in the
Wilson-Lansing correspondence to in
dicate that the former is mentally de-
ranged. "Mr. Wilson is himself, his
old self, his true self" says the man
who put him in the White House and
ever since has regretted it.

What Has Happened to Mr.. Palmer7

In New Jersey a man has been
sentenced to from two to ten years in
prison and fined 1000 for advocating
the overthrow of the government by
violence. 1t is too bad that the Fed
eral Government, in matters of this
kind, must look for protection to States
themselves. If the Attorney General
and his Department of Justice had the
courage to enforce the law as they
find it, instead of calling for addi-
tional legislation, they could put an
effective stop to seditious acts and ut
terances.

A REAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

The holiday season with its joys and
its problems is upon us. What shall We
10 to add to the happiness of the occa-
sion? Each one of us would like not
only to wish our friends Merry Christ
mas and Happy New Year, but to give
them one. We cannot do this by means
Of fill-considered presents. Thoughtless
gifts cause the January ash can to bulge
with debris Only when our gifts have
asting meaning 90 they carry the true
message Of good will which is the spirit
Of real giving.
We can give happiness and content
ment and safety for the future as well as
pleasure for the moment Such gifts
are within reach Of all They are to be
'ound in the Savings Securities of the
United States Government From the
% cent Thrift Stamp to the 81 900 Treas
lry Savings Certificate, they will carry
with them not only the greetings of the
season but happiness for years to come
In presenting the child a card with one
hrift stamp affixed, you bestow not only
a present but habit which will grow in
value as the days pass, or he will wish
| to Oil the card. That little gift will
have grown wonderfully before another
| Christmas comes around, and the recip
eut will be on the way to a life Of indie
pendence
In recommending these lasting gifts
| The Savings Division of the Treasury
does not suggest that single American
curlaiI his Christmas giving. Itsuggest:
only that he broaden it to include thi.
present which will bring future well
being to those he loves.
Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps anC
Treasury Savings Certificates will be or

RE0RGANIZES
Prngle Stock Growers Association Has
for its Aim Cooperation Next
Meeting March 5th.

Several national farmers organiza
tons, many congressman and senators
several state legislatures, the farm press
of the country, and many other organi
cations, publications and individuals are
deyotlng great deal of time and thought
just now to the problem OF decreasing
prices Of wheat, live stock and other
farm products, and to discussions o
remedies for existing evils.
Out Of the storm of discussion that has
arisen, one fact stands out most promi
nent. The producer is not organized a.
he should be, although the fundamental
of all Industries, agriculture has less or
ganIzation than any other.
Farmers and caltemen seem not able
to organize, or at least il takes longer
period Of time to get organized and
v orking smoothly together.
No doubt many OF the readers of thie
paper remember how few ears ago
The stocs men Of the Pnngie vicinity
ried to organize, and how their orgaui-
zation failed. They failed, yet their
failure was not failure, for at recent
meeting of the Priugle Stock Growers
Association officers were elected to fiji
vacancies and program is under way
,or re-organizing the Association A
new constitution is to be adopted, and
an effort is being made TO secure every
-tockgrower in the Pringle country as a
member
The Association has for its aims, CO.
operation with the Forest Service in
matters pertaining to the range, better
shipping and marketing conditions and
The growing Of pure bred live stock
While this local organization is very
small in ITSELF if we succeed it means
one Of the many steps necessary in get
ing the great producing world on a
basis where We can command position
equal to our importance in the universe

Of you for such rapid improvement in
world conditions that shall never again
find it necessary. | know the various
and manifold needs in the United States,
but | cannot help but feel that without
neglecting these needs there are thous-
ands of American families, both native
and foreign born, who out OF their pros
perity can afford something more to
help these helpless children of Europe
to live through this winter of their dis
tress.
THE areas that still require our sup
port are those ia which the necessary
food is not yet being produced, and
where governments have not yet secnr-
ed credits abroad; and it is in these
areas that our three and a half million
dependent children are located for whom
We must have thirty-three million dol
lars over and above all our present re-
sources. Failure to provide for these
children in their distress would be
equivalent to turning them from Amer
ica's door when there is no other door. -
