In sad but loving remembrance of
my dear husband, G. Lewis Brauning,
who departed this life years ago, to-
day, December 4th, 1917.
1t was early one morning,
: We shall never forget the day,
When the cruel silent reaper,
Came and took my loved husband
away.
The charms of life from me have fed,
And hopes that once was bright;
Have all been hidden with my dead
And hidden from my sight.
Tenderly I nursed and cared for him.
Trying in vain to restore his health
Praying each night, he might longer
stay,
Which to us. meant more than
wealth.
Oh. father, smile on lis from Heaven,
Ask God to. lead us when we die,
That We may meet on rdear father,
Some sweet day by and, by.
His loving wife. Mollie, and children.
In sad but loving remembrance of
my two sons, William E. Brauning,
who departed this life 10 years ago,
December 10. 1910, and Howard G.,
died November 10, 1913.
Loved in life, in death remembered.

SPECIAL ELKS MEETING
Large Gathering of Members Hear
Fine Addresses by Mrs. Sara
Robinson and Fighting
Donovan"

On Tuesday evening large gath
ering of Elks met at the club rooms
and listened to two very entertaining
speakers on matters of deepest inter
est to all citizens and especially to
this great order noted for American
ism and charity. Mrs. Robinson who
was here some weeks ago and organic
cd the Salvation Army home service
work, spoke of the work of the Sal
walton Army in the war and the need
of the money which they will ask for
next month to carry on their program.
Her very plain yet eloquent talk deep
boys who had been across and seen
for themselves. She made many will
ing volunteers to carry on next
months campaign. She was followed
by Fighting Donovan" live wire
Catholic priest, who saw hard service
in France, and while he was on an
other mission he opened up by stat
ing that he not only endorsed every
thing said by Mrs. Robinson but want
ed to make it stronger IS he was a
witness to the splendid work of the
Army over there, and he left con-
tribution of his own toward the fund
with the secretary of the lodge. Then
he spoke of his own mission as he had
been drafted by Governor Shoup to
assist in the work of recruiting the
National Guard. He gave an idea of
the situation at present in this country
and the need of a strong force to in
sure the mainten; nee of peace and
law and order. He gave many facts
that are not generally known and then
made an eloquent appeal to all good
Americans to get behind the move
ment and see that the hand of con-
stituted authority is upheld, and the
lives and property of all citizens pro-
tected. He is well worthy Of the So
briquet given him, Fighting Dono-
van," and has all the eloquence as well
as the fighting spirit of the Irish
man.

HOLLY DAIRY DAY
Big Event Was Greater and Better
Than Ever Before and Crowd
Simply Immense.

All roads lead to Holly last Thurs
day and all were crowded with hun
dreds of cars bearing loads of visit
ors to the live little city that is the
best Arkansas Valley booster for the
great dairy industry that is doing so
much for the upbuilding of our coun-
ty and state.
The crowd was great but the hos
pitable little city was prepared to see
that all were entertained and taken
care of. The displays of dairy stock
were pronounced by Spencer Penrose
of Colorado Springs, the leading rais-
er Of high-class cattle in the state, to
be much better than at the big Denver
stock show. In addition there were
fine displays of other thoroughbred
stock and poultry, that were creditable
to any country on earth. There were
leading raisers of thoroughbred stock
from both east and west present as
well as agricultural experts, and all
agreed that the necessary conditions
for raising and caring for thorough
bred dairy animals economically and
profitably were superior in the Ar
kansas Valley to any place they know
of. The weather, sunshine, altitude,
and feeding conditions are of the most
ideal character and the most APPROX
ed dairy feeds cheaper than in most
any other dairy section. The excellent
program of speakers all agreed on
these points and were better boost
for the valley than any speeches ever
made here before. A fine program of
sports added much interest to the day,
and the big dance in the evening was
a special feature enjoyed by hundreds
of couples.
Dairy Day originated by Manager
w. S. Partridge of the A. V. S. B. &
l. L. Co., and boosted by the Holly
Cow Club snd Holly Commercial Club
is an established event in the Arkan-
sas Valley and stands in the fore
front as a promoter of industrial pro-
gress.
Lamar sent q long string of autos
laden with visitors and there has been
no discordant note in the general ex-
preston of praise both of the event
and the city Of Holly.

crease in the average milk production
of 60 pounds per month, with very
small increase in the production of
butterfat. The number of quality
cows" has decreased from 73 to 55. but
the number of cows producing over 60
pounds Of butterfat has raised from
6 last month to IL this month. The
general condition of the herds tested
has improved and the cows are n bet
ter milking condition.
1t is well to remember that a past
ure of native grass is not good for dai-
ry stock when it is not supplemented
with league grass such as alfalfa.
However, when alfalfa is fed, the COM
bination does very well. 1t is also to
be understood that grain is to be fed,
for without it the COW cannot obtain
enough food to produce her best.When
pasturing sweet clover. care must be
taken to keep the cows off it when it
is wet or damp, for it will cause bloat.
1t is not so had as alfalfa, but numer-
Gus cases of bloat have been reported
from Rocky Ford. The age of the
plant does not seem TO have any effect,
for it seems to bloat as bad when
youngsas when old. The State Agri-
cultural College is recommending that

Inter-Church Drive

The Interchurch World Movement
has made good in Colorado! The bat
tie cry of "go over the top of the Colo
RADIO United Financial Campaign and
make the world safe for future gen.
erations," is the spirit which permeat-
ed the county conferences in 81 coun-
ties last week and Colorado is ready
to meet the s2,194,ss2 quota of the
Interchurch World Movement between
May 25 and April 2.
Last weeks conferences brought to-
gether the greatest arrary of business
men, farmers, teachers, and employers
and employees in one great spirit Of
cooperation that Colorado has ever
held under the auspices Of church di-
rection. The meetings went so far be-
yond expectations that work from
headquarters Of the Interchurch World
Movement went out that Colorado

would be ready to meet its quota as
it has done with proud record in
every other campaign asked of her.
Where four or five thousand people
were expected over 10000 people gath
cred in county conferences last week.
So great was the interest that holi-
days were declared in several towns.
At Burlington, Colorado, the mayor is
sued proclamation declaring holi-
day and a great theatre was rented
and crowded throughout the day and
Kit Carson county is ready to quickly
raise its quota.
At Fort Morgan a great celebration
was held and large delegations came
from Brush, particularly the young
people, and other cities, to take part.
At Cripple Creek the most remark
able incident that has come to the at
tention of the Interchurch World Move
ment took place where more than forty
business men who were friendly citi-
zens" of the church stayed until af-
ter eleven o'clock P. NJ. with the re-
suit that they pledged themselves to
relieve the home boards Of the sup
port of all local churches after near
ly forty years of dependence.

Western Slope District wired head

better interest is shown than at any

tions were recorded as well rs in num-
erous other places.

MASS MEETING
Meeting Called by Y. NJ. B. A. for
Monday Evening Is Well Attend
ed, but Does Nothing
Definite.

President r. E. Nye of the Y. NJ.
B. A. called mass meeting for Mon
day in another effort to complete
plan of reorganization that would
please everybody, but after many
hours of "talky talk" as Samanthy
Allen used to say, it was found that
the impossible could not be accomplish
ed, and when it comes to pleasing
everybody-well, it can't be did.
The committee recently appointed
supposed to represent all sides Of the
questions involved made a unanimous
report which was presented by Chas.
H. Wooden, and the meeting promptly
laid it on the table. Then after much
more talk it was taken up section at
a time and practically adopted. The
final sticking point was the question
of changing the name from Young
Mems Business Association. On this
point there seemed to be a wide di-
vergence of opinion and the meeting
voted to offer S25 reward for the
best name.
In this connection The Register
wishes to offer without reservations
the name, young Mems Business AS
sociation." This organization took
over the work Of boosting Lamar when
the old Commercial Club died and was
buried under load of debts. They
have made a national reputation as a
live bunch of boosters that has spread
Lamar's name more widely than any
other organization ever did. The name
itself is an advertisement as the ma
tional conventions have acknowledged
lamar as the originator of the Y. NJ.
B. Clubs, and but for the war would
have brought the national convention
here. Without any excessive dues to
keep willing workers out they have
spent hundreds of dollars in advertis-
ing Lamar, charity work, and furnish
ing clean amusements, and yet kept
their bills paid so that their credit Ia
always above par.
The Register has talked to a num-
Der of the original Commercial Club
members, the real owners Of the fur
niture in the club rooms, and find all
we have talked with desire the officers
Of the Y. NJ. b. A. to have charge Of
it and also favor retaining the well
known name. 1t is only a few years
more that the old fellows that did the
boosting thirty years ago and assess
ed themselves to buy this furniture
can keep in the game along with the
young men who are now taking hold
and must be the boosters of the fu-
ture, but during that few years we
want to still be young and keep the
pace just as long as possible So we
favor just naming the organization
"The Young Mems Business Associa-
tion" and putting the twenty-five
bucks in the treasury.

who desires to submit a name for the
organization on:

ORGANIZING NATIONAL GUARD
Lamar Business Men Get Back of the
Movement to Organize a Local
Company of the National
Guard.

Denver, April 12-Denver is very
much aroused over the information
that the radical element in the state
is seeking in every way possible, to
prevent enlistment in the National
Guard: Indeed so deep has become the
interest, that on the call of Governor,
the leading business men of Denver
readily agreed to forsake their person
al business and join in the general
move to aid the campaign of enlist
ment.
Not only is the l. w. w. element,
which is much stronger in Colorado
than is generally recognized, system
atically engaged in preventing enlist
ments in the National Guard, but it
has been equally as active in prevent
ing enlisements in the army and navy
as was shown by federal officer who
has spoken number of times before
interested organizations in Denver.
The charge is made that the state
militia is used as strikebreakers, 4
charge which is wholly unfounded and
is made because the word strikebreak-
er has an offensive sound to the ears
of the great many. The sincere, con-
scientious members of organized labor
have no fault to find with the Nation
al Guard and in the loyal membership
of that organization are found many
members of organized labor. In fact
there is no more reason why a member
of a union should not belong to the
Guard than there is that member of
the Baptist church should not belong.
Governor Shoup, who since being
fully advised as to what is back of the
move to prevent a good National
Guard, has taken deep interest, is re-
ceiving letters from all parts of the
state and from men of all political be-
liefs pledging him their loyal and con-
tinued support in his move to bring
the National Guard up to an efficient
standard.
At the request of Governor Shoup
a local recruiting committee has been
appointed as follows: R. L. Christy.
chairman; H. C. Byrnes, Frank Strain,
Jack Williams. !. C. Downing, John Y.
Brown, NJ. R. Sunday, ]. S. Maxwell.
Roy Cooper, Clark Mitchell, F. H. Kel-
sey, Jack Creaghc. The recruits who
join the guard are assured of good
equipment and uniforms, pay for all
drills attended, and regular army pay
and expenses for attending encamp-
ments. In addition business men will
be asked to allow full pay to employees
joining the guard for all time spent
at encampments and to allow neces-
sary leaves of absence when day drills
are given. The state will build armor-
les where strong guards are maintain
ed and offer every encouragement and
help to the boys who join. They will
have first chance at West Point ap-
pointments. Officers who arc thorough
ly qualified are guaranteed for the
various companies and the armories
will be equipped not only as a gym
nasium and athletic club but as club
and social center as well giving the
guardsmen many advantages never Of
fered before.
There is urgent need for strong local
organizations and young men should
see the committee at earliest possible
moment.

'Re-Appraisement OF Real
Estate Urged By County
Auditor Rinehart
GIVES ADDRESS AT
A LOCAL CHURCH
Tells OF The Effect Of The
Smith One Per Cent Law;
Other Points

A reappraisement of real estate in
Mt Vernon and Knox county was ad.
vocated Sunday night by County Aud
itor A. ID. Rinehart in an address on
Taxation" at the Congregational
church.
while the people have done we'll
in appraising their own property,
they have not done as good as they
could. There are farms, as we'll as
city properties, listed on the county
books at far below what they are
worth in the owners minds. Many
of the farms listed at $50 an acre, If
they were sold now, would bring not
less than 5000 per acre." said Mr..
Rinehart.
Mr.. Rinehart showed that counties
and cities got into deep water during
the period of the war and rising
prices. The Smith tax law put limi-
tations on both, and the officials did
not seek any way around the diff
Guilty, and issued bonds to cover up
deficits. Now, .bond issuing has be-
come a nuisance and a burden upon
the people, and men see how they
could have got rid of a great deal
Of trouble without multiplying the law,
which is essentially good. If provis-
ion had only been made for placing
the general and sinking fund portions
of the budgets outside the tax limi-
tations fthe Smith law, all would
have been we'll.
Another great trouble with the tax
problem in the state is that while ev-
erything else in the country has been
climbing up in price, tax rates have
remained the same," said Mr.. Rine.
hart. The county has been forced TO
sell thousands of dollars worth of
bonds to meet the increased costs of
service of different kinds. Now,
something must be done to make up
for the lost time.
The present method of the property
owners appraisement of his own
property was highly praised by Mr.
Iiinehart. He said that the valuation
of county property had increa sed
practically one-third By this method.
The reason for this vas that more
melt, in making their own estimate
o: their property, told the truth abeut
their possessions.
He said that the budget commits
sion was not to blame for the diff
culties that are coming up in this sit
uation. The members are doing all

they can within the limits OF he
state law Their practice is to fol.
low II implicitly, and after making
all payments to schedule, then first
to do their best for the county school
system. and then to do its best for the
city budget. He cited that the city
asked for 100000 for oil purposes
Of government and got $31 ,635.
During his address, Mr.. Rinehart
went over a complete budget OF the
county, and showed the arduous du.
ties OF the Office in getting through
its work. His conclusion was that to
eradicate the present difficulties there
must be made revaluation of the
property, which ought to bring the
total up, he thought, to $69,O00,O0
an increase of some ten millions over
the present valuation.
This address on one of the great 10.
cal problems was heard by large
audience, and was deeply appreciat
ed.
