PROSPEROUS INSTITUTION
Special Meeting of the Lamar Build
ing K Loan Association Called 10
Increase Capital Stock.

The directors of the Lamar Building
and Loan Association have called :;
special meeting of the stockholders fol
Monday evening, September 20, to con
slider the question of increasing the
capital stock. The remarkable growt
of this ably managed local financia
institution in the years since it was
organized has outdistanced even the
rosy dreams of its founders. and they
find that the capital stock originally
placed at 100000 no longer affords
any leaway for the big business which
the institution now does to grow in,
and they must amend the articles OF
incorporation so as to materially H.
crease the capital stock or cease &
expand. The association still furnishes
the most profitable means of invest
ing the peoples savings and at the
same time safeguarding them.
pays regular semi-annual dividends
of six or seven per cent and compounds
the interest.
The latest issues of stock are still
showing the same satisfactory results
that have always been obtained by the
lucky stockholders Of this prosperous
home institution. Stock has always
been matured at the rate of seventy
one dollar monthly payments maturing
one hundred dollars of stock-some
times a little better. Stock was ma
tured this week that had been running
seventy months but on which only 50
payments had been made. This shows
IL per cent interest compounded semi
annually. What investment can beat
it?

ELkS INITIATE CLASS
Lamar Lodge No. 1919 Takes in 4
Class of Five Tuesday
Evening.

There was large attendance at the
Elks lodge on Tuesday evening when
a class of five candidates consisting
of II. F. Williams, II. X. Gregg. E. T..
Kidder, Chas. Wilson, and Jack Shean
was initiated. 1t was the first initia-
ton since the hot weather and the
team wants to apologize to Kidder for
being out of practice and not really
able to show him what they could do.
The class was very popular one with
all the members as was evident by the
gentle manner in which they were
handled. The team is getting ready
for the big event of the fall at Eads
on September % and will hold another
practice initiation before that date
The committees are planning a big
campaign for the fall and winter and
hope to wind up with the laying of
the corner stone of the new home on
the lots belonging to the lodge just
east of the postoffice.

er of Fort Lyon. The first two rounds
were all Halls and he had the Sailor
hanging on the ropes and bleeding
from the nose and mouth plentifully.
The Sailor made a good recovery in
the third, and Hall, who had become
oyerconfident, ran into hard jolt on
the wind pipe that put him down for
the count of four. Jumping up he
ran in again and caught a second ont
on the point of the chin that put him
down and out for several seconds more
than the allotted ten.
The main event was the eight round
renewal of the old score between
frankie Dean of Pueblo and Dewey
Smith of Eads. The latter showed re
markable improvement in the past few
months and was the aggressor at all
stages of the game Dean was not
up to his usual form and only his ring
knowledge and judgment kept him on
his feet for the eight rounds. The
Judges decided it draw although
most of the crowd believed Smith had
the best of the event
After the close Of the boxing CON
tests the Springfield and Lamar base
ball teams played three inning ball
game, as darkness prevented more in
nings. The score was 2 to in favor
of the Lamar team.
The crowd then went to their autos
and enjoyed picnic suppers for an hour
After this the Kelsey fireworks team
set off a brilliant display of rocke,
and special pieces from the dam and
sent up few balloons.
The big dancing pavilion was
crowded with merry dancers until af-
ter midnight and this was one of thc
most enjoyable features of the whole
day. Everybody had a big time and
the Elks annual show day will bc
watched for with much pleasure in ths
future. Nothing but words of praise
can be heard from any who attended.
II was a big crowd, but quiet and all
bent on enjoying the occasion. Tho
nroqram was good and the various
committees are entitled to the warm
est praise for the way the whole event
was managed.

LAMAR DEFEATS HOLLY
Last League Game of Season ON Home
Grounds Results in Another
Victory.

The Lamar baseball team on Sunday
demonstrated that it is easily the class
of the Bent-Prowers League by de
feating the Holly team on the La
mar grounds by score of u to 4
The game was too one-sided to be
very interesting as the Lamar team
had made their thirteen scores before
they eased up and allowed the Holly
boys to get view of the home plate
a-tall. Gregg pitched steady ball
throughout and the team batted Pipher
of Holly hard scoring almost at will
The Lamar team got a poor start
in the league race losing the first two
games, and has never never lost n
league game since. They have won
twelve league games and seven ex-
hibition games since they got started,
and lost just the two La Junta games
and the one stolen from them at Trim
idad. They hope to get a return game
from the latter now that the Post
tournament is over.

There are II cows fresh and l9 cows
Iurned dry this month. OF the re
mainder, some whole herds and large
per cent of the cows in the other herds
are nearly dry because they were bred
for Fall freshening. AS most Of the
cows are in the latter part Of their
lactation period the high average test
and low production is well aceo
for. Reports next month indicate
a large number OF fresh cows which
will materially increase the association
total production. The receding flood
waters left many breeding places for
flies which has resulted in the flies
being very numerous and bothersome
this summer. Most of the members
are using fly repellants and poisons
to good advantage. There are a num-
ber of good, high grade Holstein cows
and well bred registered Holstein bulls
for sale.
The outlook for the dairy farming
in the valley is very promising. The
land owners favor strongly the procur-
ing Of dairy men as tenants. The

able, coming at this time. for there
are usually very few starters in the
dairy game at this season and especial

That a woman is always interested in paltable new dishes for her table goes without saying. Although that has been known many, many years, it was never more forcefully impressed upon the members of The Age Herald staff than this past week when we offered a prize of s in merchandise for the best recipe sent in
 It was our humble opinion that 1t would not be very difficult to cast our optics over the various recipes sent in and decide off-hand just which ono should get the prize. That was before the answers started pouring in upon us. The announcement was made in last Saturdays Age Herald and bright and carly Monday morning they started storming our office. This continued right up until Wednesday night when the last delivery brought the belated recipes.
 The manner in which we were de- luged has forced us to alter the arrange ments for the recipe contest this time. It is very difficult to judge the worth of recipes when they pour in upon a person and are recipes for everything under the sun from appetizers to des- serts There were many good recipes received, and we are sorry that we haven't more prizes to pass out, but nevertheless we have done our best in making the selection and are drawing the lines closer so that we will be bet ter able to judge the recipes that are sent in next week.
 This time we are asking for recipes for various ways of fixing meats. No other recipes will be considered. But if you have a good recipe for tastefully arranging roast, steak or any of
