Educator Stands for Industry.

Political economy professors in some
of our state colleges are inclined to
boost socialistic demands and fall for
programs of labor agitators.
These highbrows never had respon-
sibilities of big business, never were
on the weekly dig-up end of payroll,
or under direct command of old Gen
eral Supply and Demand.
But here's a notable exception. Di-
rector Davenport of the Illinois Agri-
cultural College, says:
"What would happen if the farmer
took the same attitude in his business
that labor takes in railroading?
Suppose, for example, that no farm
hand would cultivate corn without a
helper.
Suppose that the farm hand insist
ed upon an eight-hour day regardless
of the demands of business.
"The farmer of course can declare
an S-hour day BUT HE WILL PAY
FOR 1T HIMSELF. He may declare
for time and half for overtime but
how shall he get it ? In other words, he
is an enterpriser and cannot by any
possibility throw the responsibility for
his enterprise upon somebody else.
81 cannot see how we can live as a
country and get ahead when large
share of our people are intent not up
on seeing how much can be done in
a given length of time but rather how
much money can be gotten for NOM
inal service"

CITY CAMPAIGN
Only 'One Ticket Will be in the Field
for the City Offices.

The time for filing nominations for
city officials has now passed and only
one set of nominees have been filed.
There will, therefore, be no contest
and the ticket filed as the Peoples
Ticket will be elected to run the city
affairs the coming two years. It con-
sists of the following citizens:
For Mayor. ]. Wagner.
For Clerk-Chas. Lacey.
For Treasurer. A. Lundgren.
For Aldermen 1st Ward-E. r.
Jones and H. c. Davis.
For Aldermen End Ward-C R.
Strain and /. H. Myers.
For Aldermen 3rd Ward-John Y.
Brown and Bert Merwin.
There are one or two propositions
before the taxpayers in addition. One
is to sell the old electric light plant
for sum not less than s13,500 and
one to sell the site of the old city
water tank to J. K. Doughty, owner
of the section of land on which it is
situated.
This insures the campaign being a
quite and peaceable one and is agree
able to all but those who would like
to place q few bets.

WIN DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP
Lamar Debating Team Wins Over
Leadville and Gains Champion
ship of the Southeastern
Division.

The final debate to settle the high
school championship of the southeast
ern district of Colorado in public de-
bates was held in Lamar at the high
school auditorium last Friday evening
and was between Lamar and Lead
vile. The subject was Compulsory
Arbipation of Railroad Disputes"
with Lamar on the affirmative and
Leadville the negative. The Lamar
team won two to one decision ano
now has again won the district cham
pionship. There are three districts in
the state but as yet the championship
has not been settled in either the
northeastern or western districts. so
the definite decision as to the rest of
the schedule has not yet been fixed.
The Lamar team consists of Miss
Angela Collins, Lewis Markham and
Fred Stevens, and they ably upheld
the record of the Lamar high school
on last Friday evening as they have
in the past debates. Leadville. which
has turned out more championship
teams than any other city in the state
was also well represented and their
team made fine impression on all
who heard them. Whatever the final
outcome of the season the very high
est praise is due Miss Watkins. who
in the two years she has been coach
Of the teams has drilled them for a
large number Of debates on variety
Of subjects and sometimes on both
sides of the same subject, and so far
has never failed to secure n favorable
decision.
One Of the favorable features of the
debate was the large and enthusiastic
audience, which is very favorable
change from the past when II has
been hard to interest the public in
these events, which mean so much in
educational development A very on
tertaining program of music was a
pleasing accompaniment of the main
program and n contest among the
boys for homliest boy championship
created considerable interest. Lester
Shilling was the winner OF this event
After the evenings program the
two debating teams. the members Of
the expression class, and number Of
the faculty were entertained at the
home Of Miss Eva Lee until train
time. Games and other amusement
were indulged in and delightful re-
freshments were served. After which
the gathering accompanied the Lead
vile team to the train. II was a
most enjoyable evening for all.

NEW ARMORY PLANS
II Looks as if Lamar Will Secure a
Real Armory, One That Will be
a Matter of Pride for all
Citizens.

The latest reports from the state
capital look favorable for the passage
of the bill appropriating money for
the building of certain number of
armories in the state. If it goes
through Lamar has been designated
as battalion headquarters for this Sec
tion of the state, and the plans sub
mitted to the board by Major H. C.
Byrnes on his recent trip to Denver
have been practically accepted for an
armory to be- erected on the site re-
Gently purchased just west of the city
hall. These plans are on exhibit in
Co, and give some idea of the plans
to make National Guard attractive to
the young men. Co. E., now in the
process of organization with Frank
Strain as Captain, is nearly complete
and will soon be over the top. It is
now proposed to organize second
company made up entirely Of ex-serv-
ice men. The work of organizing this
company is in the hands of the Ameri-
can Legion boys and there are ample
numbers of them in this locality to
ensure full company and one of the
most efficient the National Guard has
ever had.
The securing of this splendid addi-
.tion to Lamar's public buildings will
not only add to the attractivcness of
the city's looks but will furnish very
decided added attraction to the city
for the young men who belong to the
guard as it has many Of the best fea-
lures Of club for them and furnishes
a very pleasing general headquarters
for all who belong.

DAIRYING PAYS
Figures Show Remarkable Growth of
This Industry in Five Years at
Holly Station.

To prove the remarkable strides
made by the dairying industry in cast
ern Colorado, w. S. Partridge, man
ager of the Arkansas Valley Sug;r
Beet & Irrigated Land Company OF
Holly has compiled figures show
ing a total of S113,2O5.4S as the value
of cream shipped from the Holly sta
ton in 1920. In 1915 these figures
totaled only $4,000 and have enjoyed
steady climb until the peak was
reached in 1920.
Holly is situated in the heart of the
wide irrigation belt and is ideal for
dairying because of the rich alfalfa
lands in this area.

In the annual boxing and wrestling
matches between the Boulder and Fort

in the heavy weight class for Boulder
The latter was called in from the
crowd without practice to substitute

What Government Can Do.

The government cannot create busi-
ness except in a state of war. or by
going into the taxpayers pocket to
fix prices higher than the law of sup
ply and demand.
1t can only help business by reliev
ing it of burdens of taxation and reg
ulation. Given the home markets and
markets abroad to sell surplus pro-
ducts, business and production will
and must take care of itself.
Americans are tired of being social
lied, paternalized and politicalized to
death.

Freeze Monday Night.

The valley was visited by a cold
wave of few hours duration on Mon
day evening and night. the thermom-
eter going down as low as % degrees.
This is the first freezing weather for
the month of March, and just shows
what darn fool the grounding is to
stay in through six weeks of the most
delightful spring sunshine and come
out just in time to get his nose frost
bit. The freeze only lasted a few
hours but was sufficient to catch such
of the early fruit as had already bud
ded out. The weather moderated again
on Tuesday morning and the tempera-
ture is still rising.

come an annual celebration in Lamar
since it was started some years ago
by the Y. NJ. b. A., and has always
been quite generally observed by the
members of the association and pub
lie spirited citizens as a time for
cleaning up and painting. In fact it
has become so much the custom that
most of our citizens have formed the
habit and do not wait for the naming
of the date but get busy as soon as
the grass begins to turn green. The
work is quite generally under way now
and by the time limit set by the may
or's proclamation is up, Lamar will
look real nifty.

Where are you going" Jfmmie's
voice was eager.
ITO the gold fields"
Jimnie's heart gave a great jump.
"rll go!" was the quick answer,
and the two shook hands.
Ten years later James decided it
was time to go back to Sally. He
vas rich beyond his widest dreams;
luck had followed him everywhere.
He could buy the whole town of
Greene Center if he chose. Yes, it
was time to 60 back. So he bought
the most expensive solitaire he
could find, and a little plain gold
hoop; then rings and things galore.
Sally's eyes would have popped out
Of her head If she could have seen
the gfffterihg collection, most of it
marked with the letters"
Jmmie's motor car was the fin
est that money could buy, and
when he drove into Greene Center
he created a sensation. Stopping
abreast the home he got out and
walked up the narrow path that led
to the front door. A stranger came
in response to his knock.
Does Miss. Sally M live here ~
he inquired.
"Oh, no." was the answe- "She
married Robert W, the policeman,
years ago, and lives down the road
. piece"
Jimmy turned away. So Sally
hadn't waited for him after all.
Getting into the car he released the
brakes and started sway disheaft-
ened and chagrined. He had been
50 sure OF Sally.
Robert W paused on the corner
snd looked about him Ieisurely. It
was q fine day. Sally had lust
served him d good dinner of beef
steak and onions and apple pie, and
he was at peace with the world. Ad-
Justing Lis helmet he was about to
move on when something attracted
his affection. A high-powered mo-
tor car, the IKE Of which he had
never before beLeld in Greene Cen
ter was coming toward him at q
terrific rate Of speed. 1t was now
ast-turning the corner-good
heavens! The car had turned tur-
tie!
Al Robert reached the wrecked
machine q man, apparently unhurt,
scrambled out from under it on ali
tours. STRENGTHENING up he looked
ct the stout policeman and smiled.
Hello. Bob; great day"
Robert stared for a moment, then
{ light broke over his face,
Well, bless my soul! It's I'm
lucky Jih!"
