PAVING DISTRICT ORGANIZED
Preliminary Work of Organization
Now Under Way With Assurance
That Work will Begin Soon.

After many false starts and back
ups and startovers Lamar business
men have at last succeeded in or
ganizing a paving district to take in
the most important sections of Main
street. A petition signed by three
fourths of the property holders has
been presented to the city council and
they have ordered the work of taking
the necessary legal steps for perfect
ing the district organization and the
issuance of bonds for paying the ex-
pense to be done. This has been a
process of many slips and disappoint-
ments but will be all the more salts
factory when finally secured. 1t was
equally lard at the start to get the
sidewalk districts organized but no
section of the city having the sidewalk
would consider now doing without
them, and the residence property in
these districts is twice as valuable as
that outside, 1t will only be few
years after one street is paved until
most of our city viii decide on the
same Improvement.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY
CONVENTION MEETS
Large Attendance From All Sections
of the County Attends
Gathering.

Although only called for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to repre-
sent the party at the state convention
the republican county convention to-
day proved good exhibit of the in
terest and enthusiasm felt by the men,
bers of the party in the great election
this year which will decide more than
any other has for several generations
the question of whether the principles
which have made this the greatest ma
ton the earth has ever known shall
be maintained.
Men and women from all sections Of
the county were present in numbers
that crowded the city hall, and a more
representative gathering of the coun-
ty citizenship has not seen for some
time.
Chairman NJ. J. McMillin called the
convention to order, and Hon. Allyn
Cole was elected chairman and r. f.
Nye secretary. A committee Of one
from each precinct was appointed to
suggest delegates to the state and
congressional district conventions.
While the committee was at work the
convention was entertained by several
speeches. The chairman, Hon. Allyn
Cole. was the principal speaker and
made an able and eloquent indictment
of the extravaganza, incompotency and
un-American attitude Of the present
administration. Judge c. C. Goodale
presented some interesting figures of
the way money wrung from the peo-
pie through bond issues has been pass
ed out to favored friends. Judge John
r. Smith of Denver also made a splen-
did talk on republican principles and
Americanism.
The COMMITTEES on delegates then re-
ported delegations to the state and dis
trict conventions headed respectively
by Speaker Cole and Senator Hasty.
The convention then adjourned.

A Growing Indu stry

The manufacturing survey now be-
ing conducted by the State Immigra-
tion Department reveals the fact that
the alfalfa milling industry is rapid
ly coming to the front as one of the
leading manufacturing industries in the
state, with an annual output worth
above S5,000,00O. This industry has
developed very rapidly in the past four
years and is increasing in Importance
each year. 1t is highly developed in
the Arkansas valley and in the north
central part Of the state, in the dis
tricts where alfalfa is most extensive
ly grown.

same time as convenient as it is pos
sible to be.
The men who have furnished t
capital and will direct its working oTo
among the most substantial and ener-
getic in our city, and It will be a s-rons
factor in the promotion Of the work Of
upbuilding for the future. Tho officers

What Colorado is to Do For the Inter
Church Movement, April 25 to
May 2.
B. C. NJ. Patton

Financial Director for Colorado
Next Sunday Colorado's citizenship
will be asked for s2,194 1872 in 1920 for
the forward work of the church of
Christ. To do it means better educa-
ton, better conditions, more efficient
church efforts, better hospitals for
you and me and withal, stronger and
bigger Colorado, taking her place in
the work of world reconstruction.
OF the sum, far above half comes
back to our educational, medical and
church institutions. To give, means
you are giving for the development of
new leaders thru such institutions as
Colorado College, Colorado Women's
College, Denver University, Iliff School
of Theology, the great Presbyterian
Hospital, Beth Ell Hospital, Colorado
Christian Home, etc.
Thru these institutions and in
strengthening the Christian churches
you are building world leaders from
Colorado. To do less is unworthy of
our state. To fail to do it means the
collopse of Christian influence in the
world.

Speaking of Bunk"

Mr.. Palmer loses most of his dignity
and general impressiveness when h
characterizes the Republican reserva-
tions to the league covenant as ''politi
cal bunk" 1t is not surprising that
a member of the present administra-
tion should look upon Americanism as
bunk" but discerning public has a
different term for what the Republi-
cans of the Senate accomplished. In
cidentally it is pertinent to inquire
what Mr.. Palmer thinks of his loudly
advertised anti-profiteering cam
paigns, his regular announcements Of
a drop in living costs, and his spectac-
ular dragnets for Reds who are seldom
deported and never punished.

HOME SERVICE WORK

Miss Mary Downer, a field repre-
sentative of the Mountain Division of
the American Red Cross, has just
completed "A visit to the Prowers
county chapter. After going over the
records of the Home Service Section
she made a report at a meeting of
the executive committee which should
prove interesting to the community,
as It shows the large volumn OF work
that has been done. is being done and
Is yet undone.
It developed that some definite
service had been rendered 533 SOL
diers or sailors or their families since
he organization OF the Home Service
work As the total number OF
Prowers county men in service was
749 this is rather n surprising total.
OF this total of 533. 3O2 received in
formation only. but in 23i cases some
additional service was rendered. adj
vice on family problems. material as
sistanee. temporary financial help,
medical attention secured. etc. The
total amount Of money expended for
this service was s1.971.77.
This work has been carried on
largely by Miss Ruby A. Johnston as
secretary OF the Home Service Sec
tion. She has had the advice and as
sistance of the chairman of the Civil
ian Relief committee. Mr. F. II. Kel-
sey, and representatives in the branch
towns. Holly. Mrs. W. S. Partridge;
Bristol. Mrs. r. d. Neck; Wiley, Mrs.
John Rowe Granada, Mrs. +. c. Gee.
To enumerate the number OF letters
telephone calls. kilograms, personal
interviews with the men, members of
thir families. and others that those
533 cases made necessary, would fill
a column. Only Al OF the 231 Ser
vice" cases are definitely finished.
There are still 19O that need some
additional work. New cases are com
ing in daily, applying for assistance
for example. in making claim for
compensation. vocational training, re-
lnstatlng lapsed Insurance. etc.
During her visit the field repre-
sentative interviewed as many sources
OF information as possible on which
the executive committee might be
helped in a decision on what part of
the Peace Program outlined by the
national organization was applicable
to the local conditions. Two main
lines of activity are being followed,
Public Health or School Nurses and
the extension to civilian families of
the kind of service rendered service
men and their families. After the
presentation of the facts gathered by
the representative a discussion of the
local situation. in which the mayor,
the county health officer, one OF the
county commissioners and a member
OF the school board took part, it was
decided to secure trained worker to
inish the war job and extend Home
Service work to civilian families. 1t
was felt that both kinds of work
were needed but that in view of the
fact that the war work was not yet
over and the present secretary was
threatening to resign that perhaps
this need should be met first.

ARE THEY A MENACE?
Anyone Doubling That the Reds Are
Real Problem to Be Solved
Should Read Their Declara-
tion of Principles.

There are some citizens who are of
the law abiding class themselves and
therefore refuse to take seriously the
reports of the secret service about the
activities of the Red army which is
being organized in This country and
the talk they are making about a re-
volution to change our form of gov
ernment. The secret service has, how
ever, obtained copies Of their dcclara-
tion of independence which should be
sufficient to convince any person not
foolishly blind that they are determin-
ed to persevere in the work of de-
struction and that nothing but depor-
tation of the leaders and ample mill
tary preparedness for revolt will
keep them from becoming real mem
ace to our form Of government and
institutions. Below is their formal de-
claration of principles and intentions,
and it especially aimed at all religious
observances and societies as well as
civil authority:
I. W. W. Red and Soviet Declaration
of Independence.
I'VE must consciously hasten the
elementary movement of the struggle
of the working class; we must convert
small strikes into general ones, and
convert the latter into an armed revolt
of the laboring masses against capital
and State"
AT the time of this revolt we must
at the first favorable opportunity pro-
ceed to an immediate seizure Of all
means of production and all articles of
consumption, and make the working
class the masters in fact of all general
wealth. At the same time we must
mercilessly destroy all remains Of gov
ernmental authority and class domina-
ton. liberating the prisoners, demolish
prisons and police officers. destroy all
legal papers pertaining to private own
ership of property, all field fences and
boundaries, and burn all certificates of
indebtedness-in a word-we must
take care that everything is wiped
from the earth that is a reminder of
the right to private ownership of prop
erty; to blow up barracks, gendarme
and police administration, shoot the
most prominent military and police Of
ficers, must be the important concern
of the revolving working people"
1--WE hate religion because it lulls the
spirit with lying tales, takes away
courage and faith in the power of man,
faith in the triumph of justice here on
the real earth and not in a chimerical
heaven. Religion covers everything
with fog; real evil becomes very Wis
ionary, and visionary good a reality.
It has always sanctified slavery, grief,
and tears. And we declare war upon
all gods and religious fables. We are
atheists"
All believers in law and order and
religious observance should get behind
the movement to promote a strong Ma
tional Guard unit in each county. The
reds are getting better organized each
day and the arm of the law mus. he
made strong enough to meet them.

BAR ASSOCIATION ASKS
MONTHLY HEARINGS
Business of This Section of the Dis
trict Would be Materially ENped-
lated and Great Saving Made
to Litigants.

When the bill making second judge
in the Third Judicial District was be-
fore the legislature the real argument
that carried the day was the need of
frequent court sessions in this section
of the district, and accordingly the
Governor appointed Judge Hillyer.
Regular court chambers were opened
in Lamar and it proved big saving
to our people in their legal business as
well as great convenience and time
saver. At the election the voters of
the west end of the district having the
majority vote took both judgeships and
the regular sessions here ceased. Both
Judges McChesney and Hollenbeck
have been very accommodating about
calling extra court sessions for the
convenience of the attorneys and eli
ents, but the business of this section
has grown so rapidly that there is now
need of fixed date each month when
matters of Importance can be argued
before the court Accordingly the
members of the local bar have present
ed the following petition to the judges;
Petition.
To the Honorable A. C. McChesney
and A. f. Hollenbeck, Judges of the
Third Judicial District, Trinidad, Colo
rado:
We, the undersigned attorneys at
i.w, of Prowers County, in the Third
Judicial District in the State Of Colo
rado, respectfully request you to fix
day or days certain in each and every
month of the year hereafter when you
will appear at Lamar, Prowers Coun-
ty, Colorado, and sit for the purpose
of hearing motions, demurrers, appli-
cations for injunction and such other
matters as may be properly brought
before you for the reason that such
monthly sittings Of the Court would ex-
pedite the handling Of legal matters
and be for the best interest of clients,
attorneys and the state.

The operators were warned by Presi-
dent Wilson against violating laws
against combinations in restraint of

exact unreasonable prices for coat :
Il am aware" said the president
that at present, as a result of the
shortage created by the coal strike and
of the consequent interference with
transportation and as a result, also of
the exceptionally unfavorable winter
the demand for coal continues active.
l desire to impress upon the coal oper-
ators the extreme Importance not only
of their complying to the fullest ex-
tent with the laws against complna-
tions in restraint of trade and against
profiteering, but also of their exerting
themselves affirmatively to prevent
exacting of unreasonable prices for
coal.
Other recommendations by the ma
jority included:
That the council of national DEFENSE
obtain the support of the general pub
lie for coal storage
That the Interstate Commerce Com
mission be directed to aid in the soiu-
tion of transportation problems, with
particular attention to the question Of
seasonal freight rates car supply and
car distribution.
That state governors be asked to is
sue executive orders to state institu
tions and departments for the pur-
chase and storage of winter coal dur
ing the summer.
That state railway and public utili-
ties commissioners use their influ-
ence with the various utility commits
sions to induce the purchase and stor-
age of coal by those corporations.
That the railroads be asked TO CO.
operate in coal storage, car construc-
ton and distribution, and the reduc-
ton to a minimum of the practice OF
communicating coal.
That the Federal Reserve Board per-
NIT Federal Reserve Banks to favor,
as eligible for rediscosnt paper drawn
against coal in storage.
That the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, state railway and public util-
ity commissioners within their Juris-
diction issue ruling controlling car
distribution among mines, to the end
that no particular mine or mines be
service.
That the practice whereby purchas-
ing agents of carriers can use com
pany control over car supply to force
down the price of railway fuel be
abolished.
The principal point of difference be-
tween the majority and minority re-
ports was on the matter of hours of
work Commissioners Robinson and
Peale recommended retention of the
present hour day but Commissioners
White held the maximum hours for
miners should not exceed eight hours
under ground a day nor more than SIX
days a week. The miners demanded
six hour day and a five day week.
John L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers of America, in
a formal statement expressed disap-
pointment that the president had Of
firmed the majority report of the COM
mission. but said the miners were ready
and willing to respond to the sugges-
ton that they participate in a joint
wage.

to prophesy the issue of the coming
battle, or when it will be fought. The
communists are hampered by lack Of

when this is consumed it is anticipated
they will proceed to rob the country
