DISTRICT COURT
Largest Docket Ever Known in Prov
ers County Being Prepared for
November Term.

Tuesday, November 18th, the fall
term of the Prowers county district
court will convene in Lamar and al
ready there are almost two hundred
cases on the docket, at least one-third
more than were ever on the docket for
session before. About one hundred
and seventy civil cases and twenty odd
criminal cases will be on the docket
and many of them cases of consider
able Importance. There are two Grim
inal cases that will probably take up
considerable time of the court-the
McClain case from the south country
and the Aguilar bank robbery case
brought here on a change of venue
from Trinidad. The jury has been
summonsed for Wednesday. Novem-
ber 16, and it is expected the criminal
docket will have first place on the
calendar.
With nineteen divorce cases on the
docket of the district court and the
county court also doing its share in
that line, it looks like the lawyers are
unhitching 'em just about as fast as
the preachers can hitch 'em. The pace
set by the demands Of present day liv-
ing seems to be too fast for many of
the men to keep up in double harness,
and the present prospect for improve
ment is not encouraging.

HALLOWEEN IN LAMAR
ly to Business Section This
Year.

New estimates are now being made
of Lamar's population and the largest
figures are not given by old time
boosters but by the strangers that hap
pened to be in our midst on Monday
night. The mob of Young Americans
on Main street when the halloween
celebration was at its height was var
iously estimated by visitors at from
ten thousand to a million, but this can
be accounted for by the fact that ma
turcl laws do not apply on that night
and it is possible for the same boy to
be in several dozen places at one and
the same moment.
Anyway the boys were SO thick and
co much in evidence that all the of
ficers could do was to sit back and
laugh at the pranks-as usual some
went farther than they should have.
but this has been the case ever since
boys were invented. No great amount
of financial damage was done but con-
siderable work and inconvenience was
caused number of business places.
This year the whole campaign SEEM
ed to center on the business district
and what man suffered in th.t region
was made up by the lack 4 depreda-
tion at home.
The celebration began with the seat
frames of the chautauqua association
stored on the county lots. These were
strewed in long line down Main
street as far as they would 90, and
then the rounds of public places made
and some attention paid to each. The
elimination was the discovery Of a
small building formerly the principal
feature Of halloween celebrations.
This one had somehow survived al
though the species was thought to be
extinct, and was left in a conspicuous
place on Main street marked "City
Hail." and bearing the sign manual
Of certain local celebrity. Halloween
was made for boys and others have
to stand for it and be thankful it only
happens once year.

35 YEARS IN BUSINESS
E. NJ. Steward One of the Few 'S6ers
Still in Business Here.

Lamar was born in May, 1886, and
the pioneer business men are those
that started up here in that and the
succeeding year. Only a very few of
these are left now, as death, retire
ment from active work and removal
to other places are constantly reduc-
ing the number. However, few who
have weathered all these possibilities
are still doing business here and are
all among our most prominent busi-
ness men in their respective line. One
of these, Mr.. E. NJ. Steward, Lamar's
only monument maker, has been so
efficient and reasonable in his busi-
ness dealings that he has never in all
the thirty-five years he has been here
had any local opposition. Mr.. Stew
ard came here on November l, 1886,
and has ever since been recognized as
the best stone carver in this section
of the state. He has built up fine
business by good work and square
dealing and now has large trade
from all over this section of the state.

Nee-No-She Texas Well.

According to the Pueblo Chieftain,
the well of the Nee-No-She Oil Co.,
at Quanah, Texas, is about to come
in as a producer. They struck n
heavy flow of gas some time since
and it has been getting stronger and
stronger ever since until it looks as
if it could be depended on to blow the
top off the derrick most any minute.
The company has several thousand
acres of land around the well and a
good well would add millions to the
valuation of the company.

LAMAR DEFEATED LAS ANIMAS
Savages Have Hard Tussle but Beat
Rivals by to o Score.

Since high school football has been
played in the valley the end of each
season with only one or two excep-
tions has found the championship pen
nant flying in either the Lamar or
Las Animas high schools. The games
between these two teams have there
fore been looked forward to as practi-
cally deciding the contest and they
have always been real battles on that
account. The Lamar boys went to
Las Animas last Saturday with the
full determination to win but il took
every ounce of strength in the team
to put it over. They met a worthy
opponent in the Las Animas boys and
it was only when the last whistle blew
that the contest was known to be won.
Neither side was able to score in the
first half and the game was a see-saw
one with each holding strong when
necessary. In the third quarter La
mar boys succeeded by heavy line
plunges in carrying the ball over for
a touchdown and kicked goal, thus
making the only scores of the game.
In the last quarter neither side could
score.
Rocky Ford will play the Lamar
boys on the Lamar grounds Saturday
of this week.

The Dirt Wasn't Dry.

Things just happen to the wrong
people in this old world, it seems.
Blessings come to those who don't
care for them. A lady from Baca
county was transacting business at the
land office this week and she report
ed that she was absent from her dug
out claim home for several months
and when she returned she found a
25-gallon copper still, ten gallons of
whiskey and several barrels of mash
in her happy home. Being n law
abiding citizen she reported at once
to officers and left the house. They
captured the paraphanalia and then
emptied the whiskey on the dirt floor
of the dugout, rendering the lady's
home entirely uninhabitable. Next
time she should report to the nearest
printer instead of officers and her
floor won't be injured. Those officers
should be arrested. Such wasteful-
ness is objectionable.

McAdoo Wins in Committee.

The adherents Of former Secretary
and Railway Boss VIM. G. McAdoo
won first blood in the campaign for
the democratic presidential nomination
in 1924 this week. They forced the
resignation of National Chairman
White and selected Christopher Hull,
a McAdoo man, to succeed him. The
new Christopher may succeed in dis
covering a democratic white hope but
not before the centennial anniversary

Most Composite language.

1t is impossible to state the exact
percentage. of any language entering
into the composition of English, as
English has become the most composite
language spoken by man. The yocabu-
larry Of common life is still about
three-fourths of Anglo-Saxon origin,
but the vocabulary of literature and
commerce contains a majority of
words of foreign origin, chiefly Latin
or Greek, coming in great part through
the Romance tongues, and of these
chiefly through French. The languages
from which the next greatest contribu-
ton has been received are the Scan
dinavian ucelandic, Swedish, Danish,
Norwegian), the low German Dutch,
Flemish, etc.,; Celtic, Hebrew, Per-
sian, Arabic, Hindustani, Turkish,
Malay, Chinese, American Indian, etc.
The words derived from the more
remote languages are however, in great
part names of products or customs
peculiar to the countries concerned,
and few of them enter into actual
English use.

Black bean soup, split pea soup,

and acids and thus injure food Also,
the chips themselves may get into food
and be swallowed with it. New pieces
should be toughened by filling with
cold water, bringing slowly to the boil
ing point and letting the water cool in
the utensil. 1t should be cleaned
like earthenware, not secured or
scratched.
Glassware is smooth, not affected by
foods, and because it is transparent.
excellent for vessels in which to store
food. Special kinds are also good for
cooking utensils. Glass must be care
fully handled, for 1t is easily broken
and clipped Ordinary glassware will
be toughened if covered with cold
water, brought slowly to the boiling
point, and cooled in the same water.
Grow Better With Use.
Iron and steel utensils grow better
and smoother with careful use. They
take and keep an even heat. The
caSt-iron bake kettle, or Dutch oven,
with tight-fitting lid, is for this reason
especially good for pot roasts and
other dishes that require long, slow
cooking. Iron and steel utensils, how
ever, rust easily and are heavy, diff
fcult to keep clean, and not economi-
cal of fuel on the modern gas range.
To prevent rust, fat should be rubbed
on and baked into these utensils
when new, and they should be kept
at all times in a dry place. Rust may
be secured off with bath brick or steel
wool; kerosene will also help if the
utensil is very rusty.
Tin is light in color, fairly inexpen-
sive, and is not affected by weak acids
or alkalis unless the plating is in
jured On the other hand, it melts
easily; If scratched, the surface un-
derneath rusts; and such acid foods
as cranberries and tomatoes should
not be cooked in it. There are two
kinds of tinware-plain and block. In
both there is plating of tin on iron
or steel foundation.
Plain tin is light in weight easily
bent, and cools quickly. Block tin is
heavier more durable, and holds the
heat longer. Tin cooking utensils per-
haps cost less than any other kind,
but are not economical unless given
very good care. They should be
washed in hot soapy water, or if nee
essary, soaked in a weak solution OF
washing soda, rinsed, and dried thor
oughly The tarnish on tin protects
it, and should not be secured off
simply to make the utensil bright.

There are several important pOintC
to consider in selecting kitchen uten-
sils, the Office of home economics,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, points out. Is the utensil easy to
handle? This depends on weight, bal
ance, the position of the lip, and the
shape and material of the handle.
Lips on both sides are convenient; if
there is only one, it should be on the
side that will be tilted down most fire.
quently.
VIII the utensil be durable and easy
to clean? Well-made utensils that are
smooth inside and out, with rounded
surfaces, and with no grooves nor
cracks in which food can lodge, give
the best service. Elaborate utensils
that are difficult toaclean often waste
rather than save labor and time.
Is the utensil the right size and
shape? Small quantities of food can
be cooked best and most economically
in small utensils. Tor use on the gas
or Oil stove, the saucepan or the
double boiler with fiaring bottom that
extends beyond the flames will save
fuel
Can the utensil be used for more
than one purpose? This is especially
important IL storage space is limited.
Use Of Standard Materials.
Aluminium is light in weight and
color, is an excellent conductor of
heat, does not rust, and is very dur
able. When darkered with use it can
be frightened by a weak vinegar so
luton, sour milk, sour fruit juice, or
by securing with fine steel wool or
whiting. All traces of the vinegar or
other acid should be thoroughly
washed off. Strong soaps or washing
powders containing alkalis discolor
aluminium and should never be used
ON It.

metals, are excellent for mixing bowls

rails are heavy to handle and chip and
crack if carelessly used. They should
be cleaned in hot, soapy water, or, if
necessary, soaked in a solution Of
washing soda. Scraping or securing
spoils the glaze and exposes the por-
Gus clay underneath, which quickly alb
serbs grease moisture and dirt.

There was a time, and not long ago,
when the farm home was nothing more
than shelter with four walls and a
roof, and little inside that would make
1T comfortable. In fact, most of the
energies and profits of the farm were
put in the barn, which was considered
the most important part of the farm.
But the tendency of the Twentieth
century would not permit such con-
dition to remain. This last decade
has been notable for its part in the

But more important than the gaining
of political franchises and liberties
has been the emancipation of the
woman in the home and especially so
in the farm home We will not dwell
on the drudgeries of the farm wife
of 20 or 80 years ago. They are too
fresh in the memory. The day is
not far off when the last wash tub
