WOMEN JUBILANT ON RULING
OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Feminine Unaffiliated Voters in Gar
rett County Are Benefited.


rett County Are Benefited.
There is joy in the camps of the
women voters because of a recently
expressed opinion of Attorney General
Alexander Armstrong.
Before the last election large num-
bers of women, being new at the game
of politics and feeling that they We're
not familiar enough with the party
system of government to make an in
telligent choice between the parties,
preferred not to affiliate. They did this
in the face of the warning and in the
firm belief that their independence"
would cost them the opportunity to
vote in the next primary.
This warning was true in regard to
the Baltimore city women, but now
Attorney General Armstrong declares
that it does not apply to the county
women. According to the Attorney
General, the law provides that if vo-
ter wishes to change his or her affilia
ton he must do so six months before
the primary. However, the Attorney
General contends that to change ones
utilization implies that one has actu
ally affiliated with one or the other
Of the established parties and that it
can have no application whatever to
voters who failed to affiliate.
In other words, an unaffiliated vo-
ter in places where there is registra-
ton day preceding the primary may
affiliate on that day, no matter how
short the interval between the regis
tration day and the day of the pri-
mary election.
Unfortunately for those of the city,
this will be of no benefit, since there
is no registration in Baltimore before
the primaries. But in the counties it
is different, so that the result of the
Attorney Generals opinion may be
the participation in the State of many
more women voters in the primaries
than had been anticipated. Certainly
it will give rise to rather unexpected
condition in the coming election
which may have an important influ-
ence on the final results.

MISS ALICE LEONA MURPHY

Miss Alice Leona Murphy, daughter
of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Murphy, was born September 3, 1866,
and departed this life on July 8, 1921,
aged Sd years, 10 months and 5 days.
Her mother died when the subject of
this sketch was but a child and the
father departed after she had reached
mature years. Miss Alice was con-
verified at the age of II years; joined
the First M. E. church at Keyser, w.
Va, of which she remained a faithful
member until her vocation called her
to Salisbury, N. c., when she united
with the church in that city. She be-
came actively engaged in the work of
the Sunday school and as a teacher it
was real source of joy to meet and
converse with her class in the study
of the word. In the closing moments
OF life she gave assurance that all was
well with her soul and that death t.,
her was only gain. She patiently bore
her Affections, having the assurance
that they were working out for her a
far more and eternal way to glory. The
end came most quietly and serene. The
body was laid to rest near those of her
father, mother and brother in the
family lot at Wilson, Nd, to await
the final call, when she will come forth
to hear the ''well done, good and faith
full servant" She is survived by her
stepmother, six brothers and four sis
tiers and host of relatives and warm
friends. The funeral was conducted
by the Rev. ]. E. Johnson, of the Loeb
Lynn U. B. church.

DRY LAND WHEAT
1921 IL To Be Big Year for the Dry
Land Wheat Farmers.

That dry land wheat farming is here
to stay is amply proven by the results
so far on the crop of winter wheat
raised by the Doll-L.amb Co. a few
miles south of Lamar where they put
several thousand acres each in winter
and spring wheat to give them fair
test. Owing to the dry spell in the
early spring the winter wheat has not
made as good showing as the spring
planting The harvest began last
week on the winter wheat and when
the threshing machine started work
it was found the crop was running
l6la bushels to the acre right along
All who have seen the different stands
say the spring wheat will do much
better Baca county has crop of
nearly 10000 acres this year, and to
the north in Kiowa and Cheyenne
counties the acreage is far larger.
Southeastern Colorado will take its
place now along with the northeastern
sections as part of Colorado's great
wheat belt. Colorado is rapidly cir 70
ing up among the big wheat produc-
ing states and it is the dry lands that
are doing it, as the dry land wheat is
now more than three-fourths of the
total crop in the state.

Taxes and Kicking
All Right to Kick But Kick the Right
Fellows.

per cent and the high school taxes
Sl2,07S.57 or 3S per cent. The drain
age district taxes increased 81 per
cent, a tax of forty thousand was
added for the Mammoth Irrigation
district, the city aldermen of Lamar
raised the city tax Sl4.254.75 or IS
per cent. and the other towns made
raises all the way from Ga per cent
at Holly to 60 per cent at Wiley.
Kick, Mr. Taxpayer We believe
you have a kick coming. But don't
jump ON the body that tried to hold
taxes down and had small raise fore
ed on them by the state tax commits
sion, and at the same time say nothing
about the taxing bodies who are re-
sponsibc for 80 per cent of the raise
Below we publish table showing just
how much each taxing body of the
county increased taxes, and on read
ing same you will find that with the
single exception of the Holly city eoun-
ell the county per centage was less
than half any other body.
The $4,000 increase in inty tax
es is the talk of those VIII, got their
training in the old time populist school
where il was believed that the only
way to get the people excited was to
add a few ciphers on to the actual
figures for good measure. Prowers
county is out of debt, is being run
within its income and carefully manag
ed. If your taxes have been increas-
ed to the point that hurts just look
at your tax receipt and compare with
last year and you will see where the
raise is located.

CELEBRATION AT GRANADA
Grow DIS of People From All Sections
of the Valley Attend the VI. W.
A. Program on the Fourth.

A.crowd of nearly five thousand peo-
pie visited the hospitable little city Of
Granada on July Fourth to enjoy the
fine program of sports and races which
had been prepared under the auspices
of the NJ. w. A. lodge of that place.
1t was the main celebration so far as
this county was concerned and it SEEM
ed as if most of the county was there
at some time during the day.
The ball game advertised between
the Holly and Lamar teams was called
oil owing to the inability of the Hol-
ly team to all get there and Bristol
raised a team to substitute for them.
They gave Lamar a hard run for the
money too, as the contest was fought
out to the last inning and only won
then by score of 10 to 8.
The program of the day consisted
of all sorts of sports and contests,
novelty races, horse races and 2Is
mile cowboy relay race. 1t was fine
program and excellently managed and
furnished plenty of entertainment for
the big crowd all day. A prize fight
and big dance were the features of
the evening, and everybody who at
tended were well pleased with the
days program.

FOURTH AT LAMAR
Lamar Has Celebration in Spite of
all Considerations.

The Fourth at Lamar was ushered
in as usual by Chas. Owen and his
crew with the anvil chorus-and it was
some chorus, believe me A number
of the small boys had tried to stay
out all night to beat Charley to it, but
it can't be done.
As there was no celebration adver-
tised here u large number of our peo-
pie left for other points. About nine
o'clock Chairman F. II. Kelsey of the
Elks entertainment committee decided
that the people who stayed at home
ought to have some entertainment, 80
lie called in Charley Wooden, Geo Har-
r1s, Alva CaTTico and a lot OF other
small boys and started proceedings by
sending up the final installment of
balloons. Fred has staged just one
less final performance than Sarah
Bernhardt. Anyway the seven bal
looms were sent up without single
hitch and made the best ascension ever
given here. The committee then pass
ed the hat and secured a fair sized
purse with which they staged whole
program of boys races. Foot races,
potato races, three legged races, pea
nue. races and many others were pull
ed off in rapid succession and to the
amusement of a large crowd that had
assembled. The boys entered into the
spirit of the day and made the pro-
gram one of entertainment and mirth.

The tie for first place in the Bent

on last Sunday when the two leaders,

innings the game was hotly contest
ed, neither side being able to score.
In the first half OF the fifth, however.
Flem Hover put over a regular Babe

there was nothing to il after that La

had been holding the Holly team with
out even u chance of scoring, but with

made four runs in the last half of the
eighth. Neither side was able to score
in the ninth and the game closed will
