\ Statement Concerning The Peoples
Mission Church of Lamar, Colo.

Ni9sioh Nnurcn OF Lamar, NOiO.
To the many people who have taken
interest in the home missionary work
carried on locally by the Peoples Mis-
sion Church the following brief ex-
planation and report is given.
HlSTORY-In the month of June,
1917, the Missions first services We're
held by the late VIM. Fl. Lee, then
general superintendent of the Peoples
Mission church, home missionary en-
terprise with headquarters in Colora-
do Springs, Colorado. Rev. Lee to-
gether with some local people, who had
invited him here, opened the Mission
in a hall on North Main street and at
this location meetings were held each
evening. In response to the continued
invitation of friends the work was
continued and arrangements made to
make it permanent, which arrange
ments have developed until the Mis-
sion occupies a building which is be-
ing purchased for its purpose. Re
Gently Il well furnished and comfort
able rest room has been opened in
connection with the chapel and this
room is kept open for the convenience
of the public. The home of the Mis-
sion is now at III North Main street.
PURPOSE-The purpose of the Mis-
sion is, and always has been. that of
reaching with the Gospel those who
are not christians and who do not
frequent the established places OF
worship. II is an alarming fact, al
though we live in a christian land, that
at least fifty per cent of the popula-
tion do not attend any church, either
protestant or catholic; and it has been
demonstrated. both in Lamar and else
where, that many of this class can be
reached through the down town Mi
sion. The Informal services, both in
the open air and in the chapel as well
as the visitations in the homes has
BROUGHT many to better ways of liv
ing.
ORGANIZATION-The people in
charge of the work are missionaries
sent out by the organization previous
ly named. The corps of workers gen
erally consists of a pastor and assist
ants, who with local friends, carry on
the work. The work itself is support
cd locally by the offerings of interest
ed people The Mission has a local
organization and membership. but
membership in it is purely an optional
matter, and many people Of different
church connections, and some of none,
take part All our welcome
PROPERTY-The present location
is being purchased for purposes al
ready stated and this property is held
in trust for this one use in the city.
1t is arranged that should the present
organization withdraw from the local
ity the property would have to be
decided to others for church or mis-
sion purposes. In this way, Lamar l.
assured of a permanent mission work
REPORT-A detailed financial re
port Is too lengthy TO appear here. but
accurate records are kept and any
one interested may examine same
the mission at any time. The follow
ing is brief report of the work don,
during the three years the mission h.
been in Lamar:

As Thrift Increases Prices Drop

Drastic price slashing is now in full
swing throughout the country. Manu-
factmcrs OF cotton and wooden cio-h
lumber products, and automobiles have
all announced big cuts in wholesale
prices, the benefit of which the CON
sumer will soon enjoy. In practically
every instance the decrease is due 10
a lower cost Of raw materials, bet
ter labor market, and an increasing
thrift on the part OF the buying pub
lie which has stopped the excessive dc
mand for high priced goodss. So foI
as can be observed, the much advcrtis.
ed campaign of the Department OF
Justice towards q reduction in tho
high cost OF living has had no influ-
cncc whatever in bringing about the
reductions. Natural laws, which hav,
always controlled such matters, ar,
alone responsible for the changes that
are now taking place. There is little
doubt that If they had not been in
terfercd with by meddlcsomo nation
al administration, the laws Of supply
and demand would have brought re
lief TO the people long since.

Santa Fe Puts on a New Limited

Effective November Il. 1920, the
Santa Fe management has decided to
put on a brand new daily limited train
through from Chicago direct to San
Francisco and Las Angeles, via Albu-
querque, on a reduced schedule. and
with steel equipment This new train
will be known as the "San Francisco
Limited"
This is done because first-class
travel on Santa Fe lines to California
has grown beyond the capacity of one
regular limited train. The public thus
will be better served.
Westbound, this new train will leave
Dearborn Station, Chicago. about
11:45 a. m. daily, arriving Kansas
City 1l:45 p. M, Los Angeles 7:45 a
M, and San Francisco l2:40 noon. the
third day. 1t will not only give the
Santa Fe limited service TO San Fran
cisco, but will provide double daily
limited service to southern California
with both morning and evening do
parture from Chicago.
Similar schedule eastbound.
The newest limited will carry Pull
man for Grand Canyon, and will be
exclusively for first class travel
The running time of the Santa Fe's
California Limited will be similarly
reduced, and that train will continue
to carry Pullman for the Canyon

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

Complete reports made by county
assessors to the State immigration
Department show 3,427 farm tractors
owned and operated by the farmers
of Colorado, an increase of 1,lsO over
The Lamar register., 1920-10-13

The average size of farms in Colo
RADIO this year, as reported by county
assessors, is 1857 acres, compared
with 2S0.S acres last year. The aver
age size of farms as reported by the
census bureau in 1910 was 293.1 acres.
1t is possible that the average size of
farms as reported by the census bu-
reau this year will be considerably
greater than that reported to the I'm
migration Department, since assessors
rcpart only farns on which land is
actually being cultivated. while the
census bureau receives reports OF a
considerable number of very large
farms used only for grazing purposes,
These pasture farms will increase the
average size of all farms considerably
over that reported by county assessors.

Reports made to the State lmmigra-

ing farms were operated by owners or
by homesteaders who have not proved

New York: Doctor Connor, for merly of Johns Hopkins hospital, says: Many men who smoke, chew or snuff necessarily and who. are

.BRALEY FINDS WIFE NO CAVE WOMAN, So
 ROMANCE IS ENDED
Author of Treat Me Rough Gets Treated That
 Way

Philadelphia, Feb. His wife wasn't cave woman. That is why Berton Braley, poet, and Mrs. Mar ion Rubincam Braley, writer on beauty subjects, have broken up their home in Greenwich Village, N. Y. and are awaiting the result of her di- vorce action.
 Mrs. Braley says she and the poet are separating for reasons the pub lice would not understand" Mrs. Al bert Rubincam, mother of the wife, has found the explanation in Bra ley's poems. Lack of cruel and bar barous treatment might be held to be the reason.
 Just what Braley expected from his bride he revealed in the poem: "Listen, sweetheart to my plea, Cut this highly cultured game, All this fine. gentility Grows to be exceeding tame; What I want is low brow love, Heavy, knockdown, caveman stuff, I'm no cooing turtle dove; Treat me rought, kid, treat me
 rough"
 Dut dlCCi tHCy WCAC hoA AiSu A'A .'' Braley failed to comply with the poets specifications. In fact, he complained that she went out too much, in the following verse: Everybody cannot be left to roam Careless and blithe and free. Somebody's got to stay at home Somebody else-not me-"
 
 Furthermore, his marital experi- ence shook Braley's faith in all wom- en for he wrote: ii"Keep away from women, boy, And play lonely game. For the bad ones make you crooked And the good ones make you tame. y But the poet and the beauty ex- pert after finding marriage a comedy are parting good friends: "And so we part in friendship; yet With neither pain nor bitterness; And unbewitched, we plainly see The meaning of our comedy. Yet this we know, and, knowing
 smile, At least we loved little while"

Fly Swatters Will be Manufactured
 in City's Factory

Cincinnati, O., Feb. "A fly swat ter factory is to be established under auspices of the Cincinnati Public Health Federation. It is planned to start the industry for the benefit of the convalescents discharged from the tuberculosis hospital and not yet strong enough to compete in the ranks of labor and business. Fly swatters made by the convalescents are to be sold largely to sanitariums throughout the country and for use in health crusades, so that by such sales the products of the plant will help lessen the spread and infec- ton and the number of victims.

Hot Water Heaters Are Scarce With
 Dry Days Advent

Louisville, Ky, Feb. 7.-There is only one thing as hard to buy as whiskey in Louisville.
 A hot water heater-the kind with copper coils in it--is meant.
 Ihe demand has been growing in- creasingly greater for several months. Since January 16 it has amounted to hunt. If the pres cree of one in second hand store becomes known a stampede is said to cnSue.
 There is not single hot water heater in any second hand store or junk shop in the city, dealers said last night. Hardware stores, it is sa'd, are away behind on filling their orders for the new article because the demand has become greater than the supply.
 One junk dealer agrees to buy all the water heaters brought to him, but not if you remove the insides. "The inside of the cup" has not half the interest that now attaches to the little tubing "enriches" the inside of water heater.
 Those who have learned the true but lately discovered value of a hot water heater are not to be beaten because of bullish market. They are advertising in the daily papers for hot water heaters.
 It is said that "some kind of a shortage" is responsible for the run or hot water heaters. It is not the recent gas shortage, because many folks who have no gas connections want the heaters and want them at any price. Would-be purchasers give many varied reasons for their anxi- ety to get water heater-not ex- actly the heater-well, anyhow, they all have good reason.
 At any rate, the dealers refuse to worry about the ultimate cause of it all. Their worry, they say, is to get more heaters.
 Poor little water heater, don't you
 cry,
 You'll be d-,t--l--y bye and bye"
