AMERICAN LEGION BANQUET
Patriotic Organization Holds Fine
Banquet at Close of Member
ship Drive.

At the X. P. hall last night the sue
cessful drive for new members of the
American Legion came to a close with
a grand evening of goodfellowship and
jolly reunion marked by highly enter
tanning "reminiscences and jokes. The
only invited guests were the members
of the recently appointed advisory
board and all who could were there.
The banquet itself was ali that could
possibly be desired by the most exact
ing in both quality and quantity, and
the guests were unanimous in decid-
ing that the only advice they could
give the boys on the subject of giving
banquets was more of EN-" That

Wooden. After that he called on
numerous llltlIlDetb anu RutobH anu sli

After this part of the program an
hour was spent in social intercourse
and the singing of songs. 1t was a
fine gathering of the best in young
citizenship of our city and country,
the men on whom the country must
depend in the coming years to keep
up the spirit of loyalty and maintain
good government, and visitor look
ing over the faces and hearing them

would not be misplaced. A very notice

START BOOSTING CAMPAIGN
Y. NJ. B. A. Prepare for Active Drive
To Advertise Lamar and Pro-
mote New Enterprises.

There are many things just now that
Lamar needs and can get if only an
intelligent and persistent effort is
made by a strong central body to ac-
complish the desired result. The di-
rectors of the Young Mems Business
Association realizing this fact have
started an active campaign to awake
interest in public affairs and again
arouse that concerted action on the
part of our citizens which has so often
in the past accomplished great things.
In the past the Y. NJ. b. A. has made
it practice to never raise q public
subscription but in addition to the
money raised by membership dues has
given entertainments to raise neces-
sary funds. As, however, the needs of
the present time require more money
than can be raised in such manner the
finance committee devised the plan of
making up a budget allotting to each
business house of the city what was
considered its just share Of the amount
neeueu. Inc uinOunl eStiH<iIeu loi
the needs of the coming year was fix
ed at $4,000. and the members of the
committee and others arc now out
with the list making a Canvass. Near
ly one thousand dollars has already
been given and the committee is meet
ing with universal response end court
esy. They completed the canvass OF
the entire business district of the
north side without once being turned
down which is a record for that kind
of canvassing even in Lamar.
The plans of the Y. NJ. B. A. in
clude not only advertising our city but
encouraging many features Of civic
life that have been neglected in the
past few years when men had no time
to do anything but just work.
All business men assessed in the
drive for the budget become members
as they pay their assessment, and the
other members can renew membership
and new ones can join by payment Of
the 81 90 fee just as heretofore.

CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AROUND WILEY

A meeting of the school directors of
districts surrounding Wiley was held
at the call of members of District No.
10 to the school house last Tuesday
afternoon to discuss the question of
consolidation.
The Districts represented were the
North Bend, Crescent, Star, Enter
prise, East Riverview, and West River
view. The Cactus View district rep
resentatiyes were detained by bad
roads from attending.
The subject was discussed on all
sides. II the consolidation is com
pleted, new High school will be built,
and several buses purchased to bring
in the pupils. About seven hundred
pupils would be in the grammar school
and one hundred in the High school.
After talking the matter over it was
decided to call meeting in each dis
trict to talk over the matter and get
the facts before the patrons.
Mr.. C. C. Sargent, State Director of
vocational education, will be invited
to visit Wiley to present facts con-
cerning other consolidated schools in
the state.
These meetings will be announced
later.
The question of consolidating is
big one and each one should become
acquainted with all the facts before
deciding the way he will vote.-Wiley

ROBIN HOOD HERE
Victory Theatre Has Fine Troupe for
Its Formal Opening Bill.

Manager Fred Lee formally opened
his new play house, the Victory The
atre, last night with Ralph Dunbar's
troupe in the old time favorite comic
opera, Robin Hood. Owing to the fact
that Lamar has never before had
theatre or stage fitted for the pro-
duction of high class plays, this was
the first occasion to test the fact
whether such an entertainment can be
produced here profitably. The FAC;
that the new theatre was well filled
both down stairs and in the balcony
for this first performance is evidence
that the public appreciates the new
era opening here in the entertainment
line and will do its part to make 1t a
success. The first bill was all that the
most hopeful theatre goers could have
expected too. The cast is Of high tai
ent in all lines with chorus that is
seldom bettered. Lamar has never
witnessed anything at home that would
compare with the performance given
last night and continuation of such
attractions means far greater popular
ity than ever before for the opera
house

First Colorado Corn Show
house

Colorado corn stages come back"
during the 1921 National Western
Stock Show at Denver this month,
when the first corn show of statewide
scope is given. When the Cliff Dwell
ers lived here 1880 years ago they
grew good corn. Circumstances have
come about so that white men are just
beginning to know how TO practice
corn growing in quantities. This show
is given under the management of the
Colorado Farm Bureau, and the COM
mittee in charge is composed of Vice
president F. r. Lamb, E. r. Bliss Of
the executive committee, and A. E.
McClymonds of the Agricultural Col
lege extension force. 1t is certain a
big showing will be made. A Colo
RADIO variety of Yellow Dent is the
chief maize grown here. Prizes are
hung up for single ears, best ten ears
and half bushel measures. Also there
is competition for the best corn grown
at 5000 feet (mile high, at 5000 to
5000 feet and above 5000. feet.

GORDON HONORED
Hon. w. b. Gordon Receives Second
Highest Honor on the House
Committee.

At the organization of the lower
house of the assembly the past week,
Hon. w. B. Gordon of Lamar, repre-
sentative from the district of Baca and
Prowers counties was awarded the Sec
ond highest craftsmanship in the or
ganization. The relative Importance
of committees is always considered to
be finance first and judiciary second.
Mr.. Gordon was named chairman o.
the judiciary committee, an unusual
honor for new member of tn. house.
He has both the ability and push nee
essary to make himself an effective
member of any body and his lamar
friends know he will make good in
the position he is .alled upon to fill.
Both bodies of the assembly are fast
getting down to work and there Is
promise of much good to the state. All
seem agreed that the freak primary
law must be seriously amended If not
altogether repealed.
Prowers county also received one Of
the leading plums in the senate also
when Hon. N. N. Mclean was elected
as secretary, even if Boulder county

What's Your Guess?

know what the governor of North
Carolina says to the governor of South

crate days. The Detroit Free Press
says: I'VE can guess. He says one
word. 1t has four letters and begins
with H"
"What can it be? The Boston Globe
thinks It may be "Hear!" A New
York exchange believes it to be "Hist"

thing on his hip. Our theory is that

WILL SETTLE IN COURT
Differences Between Lamar and Wiley
City Government Create Law
Suit.

Since the City of Lamar has taken
over the plant and business of The In
termountain R., L. G. p. Co., one of
the most serious questions that has
arisen is the question of the pumping
contract for city water at Wiley. The
company had contract for pumping
by the thousand gallons and the rate
was such that it made the bill about
thirty dollars, while the meter power
rate showed five times that rate. The
Lamar council claims the contract is
unreasonable and have been charging
the meter price. The Wiley board in
sists that a twenty-year franchise
through the streets of Wiley was part
of the compensation in the contract
and refused to pay the higher rate.
They were notified that the power
would be shut off on the 10th of jan
uary, so Mayor R. E. Tweedie and
City Clerk W. L. Johnson came to La
mar Monday and paid the bill under
protest. They then filed suit against
the City of Lamar for a rebate of the
balance, and the issue is Joined so that
the relative merits of the controversy
can be judically determined.

BIG MASS MEETING
Citizens Meet Monday Night to Con-
slider Great Southwest PROPOSE
tion of Dodge City.

A mass meeting was called for Mon
day evening at the Elks Club for the
purpose of listening to the boosters
from Dodge City explain their PROPOSE
tion of the Great Southwest Associa-
tion. There was big attendance of
business men and citizens generally
ing. C. c. Isely, treasurer, Donald
MacIvor, general secretary, and Fran
els NJ. Leaman, field secretary and
community worker, represented the
Great Southwest Association and were.
accompanied by a number of men from
various localities which have joined
the association.
Fred w. Marx, president of the Y.
VI. B. A, who called the meeting pre-
sided over the meeting and invited the
visiting gentlemen to state their prop
osition. Both Mr.. MacIvor and Mr..
Isely stated facts connected with the
organization of the association and
the work OF the past year. The main
address was that of Mr.. Leaman, who
is O talker of ability and a chautau-
qua lecturer. He made a very inter-
esting and entertaining talk along the
lines OF the value of united action and
the benefits that could be derived in
all towns by general work along the
lines of community welfare. He is
forceful, witty, and has splendid
command of language and the audience
was much pleased to have the pleasure
of hearing him. However, all the
speakers were very careful TO avoid
the subject which was uppermost in
the minds of large per cent of their
hearers-the financial plan arranging
the quota for the various towns in the
association. They stated that it was
our moral support they cared for
more particularly, but added later that
the meeting to be held soon at Liberal,
Kansas, would work out the question
of assessments. The old plan propos-
ed a year ago Of hasing it on bank
deposits would have made Lamar the
largest contributor.
After the visitors concluded Chair
man Marx called on the other visitors
and local men for remarks and there
was more or less lengthy talks made
by n number of the citizens present.
The question was quite literally dis
cussed in all its features and finally
motion was made and seconded by
two Of its supporters, Messrs. ALFRED
Todd and v. NJ. Hovis, that the meet
ing favored joining the Great South
west Association. This caused further
discussion as to whether it could be
binding upon the Y. NJ. B. A. or its
directors, and it was agreed by all
that as the meeting was only citi-
zens mass meeting the Y. NJ. B. A.
or its financial committee was in no
wise bound by the vote. Chairman
Marx then called for the ayes and out
of meeting of probably one hundred
and fifty people there was thin scat
tering of response, but it was so light
that it was decided out of deifcacy to
the feelings of the visitors to let il
20 at that and the noes were not
heard.
This matter has been much discuss
ed here and even the governor of the
state sent an official representative to
look over the situation and he agreed
with the majority Of our business men
that it would be foolish TO tie Colo
RADIO on to the tail of Kansas in an ad-
vertising campaign in which Kansas
was to be the prominent feature.

This policy has been undertaken aft

tho city by factory officials. Tho the
DRY is that single men may find it
easier TO take care of themselves and
that their places should. il possible,

The first move, after the war, was
to rid the factories of labor that was
not sufficiently productive that had
been placed during the stress of war.
For some time since then, quality OF
work being equal. the preference has
been given i'm employing those who
have dependents. This tends TO re-
