Pledges and Performance

Performance depends largely upon
who does the promising. In the cam
paign of 1912, through which the
Democrats came into power in 1919
the charge was made in the Democrat
ic platform and on the stump that the
Republicans had burdened the nation
with a needless army of government
employees and had conducted the bust
ness of the nation in an extravagant
manner. But there was never a day
after March 4, 1913, when the payroll
was less in either numbers or amount
than it was before. In 1920 the Re
publicans charged extravaganza and
employment of needless persons at
public expense and each month since
the Republicans came into power there
has been reduction in both the num-
Der of employees and the amount of
the payroll.

they state it is almost impossible to
load more than $4,000 into cars of
that size. This of course very ma
terially advances the rate actually
paid.
The rates per car for minimum load
from the principal points from which
feeder stock is shipped to feed in
transit at Lamar are as printed above
this article.
These rates will be of great interest
to all stockmen and feeders and this
table should be preserved. The table
was furnished us by prominent stock
men who have had number printed
off.
The new rates will be of great bene-
fit to the feeding industry, but ii is
not yet return to the old rates or
even the war rate, and the minimum
weight provisions and other conditions
are less favorable.

TOMMY RYAN IN LAMAR
Former Middieweight Champion Of the
World Lectures Young People
at High School.

A large audience of young people
and a considerable number Of older
ones attended the exhibition at the
high school auditorium last Friday
night when Tommy Ryan. for years
the worlds middleweight champion
prize fighter and one of the few
champions who had sense enough to
retire before he was whipped out, gave
an exhibition and lecture to the boys
and girls.
Mr.. Ryan. assisted by his daughter
first gave an exhibition which demon
strated his right to lecture on the sub
ject he had selected. He proved that
at the age Of 72 he is still the master
Of most men in strength and steady
nerves. He gave boxing demonstra-
tion with n punching bag that for
speed, accuracy and hitting power
would trouble most OF the men Of the
ring in their prime. He juggled 200
pound dumbell like II was a toy, and
he held II straight up at arms length
with q l55 pound boy on it. Then he
gave a sword exhibition that showed
= perfection of control and steadiness
of nerve that few possess He sliced
potatoes in two pieces while they were
lying in the palm of his daughters
hand without even marking the skin.
After this demonstration that all
his faculties and muscles were in per-
feet condition even at the age of ",
he delivered n lecture TO the young
people on clean living and its bene-
fit defying any person fifty years of
age who had indulged in any forms
OF dissipation to match any of the ex-
hibitions he had given. His lecture
was the most forceful ever given to
our young people along these lines as
he was standing proof in himself of
the wonderful benefits and advantages
of clean living.

BEET HARVEST COMMENCES
Prospects are Bright for a Good Seas
on and Factory Campaign viii
Begin September %.

Because Of the excessively hot and
dry weather of the past couple Of
weeks the beet crop hereabouts has
been maturing rapidly and the receiv-
ing Of beets by the Rocky Ford fac
tory and surrounding stations Of the
American Beet Sugar Company was
begun on Wednesday Of this week,
full week earlier than any previous
yeai.
Though the beets are maturing
early our weather combination Ct hot
days and cool nights has been produc-
tive of good results and is bringing up
the sugar content until it compares
favorably with past years. This in
conjunction with the fact that the
yield is away above the average, will
be pleasing news to everyone and es-
pecially TO those directly interested in
the sugar beet industry.
A sufficient quantity of beets will
be on hand to allow for the opening
of the factory campaign on September
22-five days earlier than last year.
Out of town employees are flocking
in and everyone employed about the
Rocky Ferd factory is getting ready
for what IS believed will be one of the
r'ost successful campaigns in history.

Easy Victory

The Lamar baseball team went to
Bristol on fair day last Thursday to
play picked team of that place for
a purse of 500. The game proved too
easy for the Lamar boys to be very
interesting. 1t only lasted six innings
and the score was "a to 8. The main
feature of the game was the come
back stunt of Allen Skinner, who has
not been playing much for several
seasons but went into his old position
in outfield and caught four flies and
made three 3-base hits in four time
at bat. The Lamar team all fattened
their batting averages very nicely on
this occasion. They will play Eads at
the Eads fair on Thursday of this
week.

LAMAR WIPES OUT
TRINIDAD DEFEAT
Sundays Game Resulted in Another
Victory for Lamar-Score IL to 4.

The Lamar baseball team demon
strated last Sunday that it was su-
perior TO the Trinidad team. The
game was fairly close until the eighth
inning when the Lamar boys hit the
Trinidad pitcher to all corners of the
lot. Seven men crossed the plate for
tallies before the last man was out
Gregg pitched fine ball until the
eighth when Helbeck relieved him and
finished the game. The final score
was ~ to in favor of Lamar.
The Trinidad team competed in the
Denver Post tournament and was one
OF the prize winners. The game Sun
day shows that the Lamar team is a
good team and can easily be rated one
of the best in the state.
Following is the box score:

CLOSE BIG CONTRACT
Lamar Men Making Success of New
Vacuum Equipment Patents.

]. +. Baker returned last Thursday
from Denver where he closed n big
contract that puts the Vacuum Equip
ment Co. on the map big. This COM
pany was organized less than a year
ago to handle some patents on vacuum
equipment for autos. especially a rad
iator protector, and has been manu-
featuring them on small scale at
their Lamar plant for nine months
and selling them as they could.
These patents have been attracting
much attention from auto dealers and
machinists, and n company calling
itself the Vacuum Equipment Sales
Co. has been organized in Denver to
get the contract for handling the pat
ents on the market.
Mr. Baker closed contract with
the Denver concern by which they get
the distribution of the radiator pro-
tectors in the United States and guar
antee to take five thousand the first
year. This order alone makes 500, 900
worth Of business for the next year
and will insure the local plant running
to capacity during that time.
The Vacuum Equipment Co. is a
'copartnership composed Of J. F. Bak-
er. Chas Day and Duther Day and
they have worked hard to get their
new invention on the markets. Their
success is now assured and they are
receiving the hearty congratulations
of all their friends.

The recent action of the interstate
railroad commissioners in ordering &
reduction of 20 per cent in all rates
on stock shipments in the west where
the old rate exceeded fifty cents a
hundred, will be of considerable help
to feeders of this section, as the rate
from all points where they ship in
stock to feed is in excess of the fifty
cent limit. One unsatisfactory eondi-
tion according to prominent stockmen
with whom we have talked, however.
is that the minimum load for 36-ft.

KEEP OPEN HOUSE
Lamar National Bank Move 10 New
Quarters and Receive Their
Patrons and Friends
Saturday.

The handsome new banking rooms
of the Lamar National Bank were
thrown open to the public on Satur-
day last and the officers were on hand
to make everybody welcome and show
them the many conveniences and
safety devices installed for the bene-
fit of the patrons of the bank and its
employees.
The big swinging mahogany doors
in front, tiled floors, marble and ma
hogany finishings everywhere give the
rooms the very air of substantial
wealth and confidence in the future
of the bank and country. The directors
of the bank are some of the most
solid business men of this section of
the country and the fact that they
have faith enough to spend the amount
required to make such improvements
is a good guide for others who de-
sire to invest their money.
The bank was kept open all day and
received constant stream of visitors.
Messrs. Lee, Adams and Deeter rep
resented the directors and showed Wis
itors over the roms and distributed
cigars, while Mrs. Gentry and Miss
Ford distributed roses to the ladies'.
After entering the main banking
room one is impressed with the many
conveniences for the public on every
hand. There are rooms for private
conferences, rest rooms for ladies and
men. individual desks for customers,
marble drinking fountain, even the
janitor has mahogany finished room
for his private use. The safety deposit
box department has private booths
where the patrons can look over their
papers in secrecy. The tellers have
cages equipped in the latest style for
safety and convenience. The private
office where you tell your troubles to
the credit men are furnished in way
that would almost make a man forget
his troubles; while the directors have
reserved the handsomest room Of all
for their meetings All the rooms are
equipped with handsome mahogany
and leather chairs and mahogany
tables.
The big clock was not installed in
time for the opening but is now in
place. 1t is chime clock, register
ing not only the hours, but each quar-
ter as well. The beautiful tones will
be heard a long distance of several
blocks. Its four faces will enable the
time to be told from any direction.

BOXING AND WRESTLING BOUTS
Bill for Last Thursday Evening Far
Too Good for the Patronage.

The boxing and wrestling matches
which were given by the National
Guard last Thursday evening at the
Victory Theatre made the best card
ever given in Lamar and were too good
for the patronage. The lateness of
the hour. ten o'clock, kept many from
attending, but the talent secured was
really too expensive to be pulled off
in small city at a profit There
were several hundred spectators and
they certainly enjoyed fine show for
their money.
The curtain raiser, a two round 20
between Kid Bangem and Kid Shmem
was a slam-bang affair from the sound
of the gong and the boys had no fear
of punishment but just wanted to put
over that old Knockout punch. They
could not do it, however, and the re-
suit was a draw.
The six round go between Kid Mack
of Pueblo and Badly McLain of Fort
Lyon went the full limit but was the
Kids fight all the way through. He
out generated and out pointed his OPP
ponent, and the decision OF the judges
awarding him the match met with the
hearty approval of all the spectators.
The Pueblo boy is new man in the
ring, having only had a few weeks ex-
perience and he will be one Of the com
ing lightweights of the state.
The main event was the wrestling
match. two best falls in three between
August Sepp, middleweight champion
of Colorado and Pete Jordan OF Kan
sas City. The match was the best
wrestling bout ever seen in Lamar. II
was the first time during his stay
here that Sepp has had an opponent
who could make him really work--and
he had to extend himself to the limit
to win this match. His opponent was
several pounds lighter weight hut was
equally as scientific and active. Each
at times seemed to have the best but
the other would be able to wiggle out
and renew the contest. The first fall
was secured by Sepp in twenty-nine
minutes and il took an equally long
time to win the second. He thus re-
tains his title Of champion Of his class
in Colorado.
One of the specially pleasing fea-
lures of the occasion was to have the
bouts refereed by Tommy Ryan, form
erly middleweight champion pugilist
of the world He was in town for
an exhibition and agreed to act as
referee. and no one questioned his de-
cisions
