WORLDS SERIES
For Good of the Game II Is Hoped
Fifteen Years More viii Elapse
Before Both Teams Are
in One Town.

The players and teams are making
a rich harvest out of the worlds
championship series this year, but for
the game itself the holding of the
event all in one city has robbed it of
much of its interest, and the crowds
watching the games outside of the city
of New York and the interest mani
Tested generally is less than it has
been at any time in a dozen years.
The New York teams are not general
ly popular anyway because the fans
think they take advantage of their
heavy gate receipts to buy the best
players away from other teams and
thus win in an unsportsmanlike man
ner. Be this as it may neither team
is at all popular away from the home
city and they have not improved the
sentiment any by the present series.
The series started Off with two straight
wins for the Yankees, but the Giants
came back with two themselves. The
Yankees won on Monday and the
Giants Tuesday. So far the hero of
the series is high school boy pitch
ing for the Yankees, Hoyt by name.
who is the only pitcher who has pitch
ed two full games and won both. The
game today resulted in 2 to 1 vic
tory for the Giants, putting them in
one game of the championship. The
series now stands Giants 4, Yankees 3.

DEER SEASON
1921 Open Season Starts Today and
Closes Saturday of This Week.

The open season for hunting deer
begins today in Colorado and lasts un-
til Saturday night. Quite a number
of hunting parties left Lamar this
week bound for the cedars and the
mountains further west to be ready
for daylight this morning to COM
mence looking for that deer they have
been promising for many seasons to
bring home to the family and friends
Hope springs eternal in the human
breast, but the trouble is the darn
deer springs so much faster. Zeke
Lindner was one of the new acquisi-
tions to the ranks this season. He
went out with Frank Sayler and Roy
Cooper and they induced Zeke to take
along five thousand rounds of am
munition. II a deer stands still long
enough to let him shoot all that at
him, he can in the meanwhile talk
it to death. He has promised every
lady in Lamar venison roast and we
fear some of them will be disappoint-
ed. Nearly dozen parties from La
mar and vicinity are now prowling
around the hills and if all lose out it
will be the first time for years. Two
years ago. it will be remembered,
one Lamarite spent a week in the
sticks and got his first shot at a deer
in front OF the Lamar beet sugar fac
tory when returning home.

LAMAR SAVAGES WIN
Defeat Ordway 50 to 0. Winning First
League Game of 1921 Season.
League Standing

The first weeks play in the Arkan-
sas Valley H. S. League furnished
several surprises for the fans. II is
the first time for years that Las Ami
mas has been practically put off the
championship list in the first contest.
They have almost always been con-
tenders until the last game is played
The other surprise was the unusually
large score piled up by the Lamar Saw
ages against the Ordway team. II
was expected the Savages would win
but not by such score With the
full first team line up the Lamar boys
simply smothered the Ordway players
right at the start scoring two touch
downs almost in the time IL would take
to march down the field. They added
two more before the first quarter was
over. Then Coach Koonsman began
to try out his second string players,
but still three touchdowns were added
in the second quarter. The work Of
substitution continued and this en-
abled the Ordway boys to make lit
tie better showing in the second half
as only one touchdown was scored in
each quarter. Toward the end of the
third quarter practically the entire
lineup was composed of second string
men and the fact that they were still
able to score shows that there is plen-
ty of good material at hand to keep
the team up to stcndard even in case
of accidents. They go to Fowler for
game on Saturday and after that
begins the heavy work of the schedule.
as Rocky Ford, Las Animas and La
Junta all have good teams.

BONDS SOLD
State Road Work Can Be Continued
According to Program.

The Denver bankers have arranged
to take over the entire portion of the
big state bond issue for roads which
is to be sold this year. The failure to
place this issue had put the state high
way commission badly in the hole with
their program of continued road build
ing, and was about to lose the state
n considerable portion of its share of
the road money that has been appro-
priated by the national government
contingent on the various states and
counties joining in paying for the
work. The placing of the bonds, how
ever, will prevent any trouble and en-
able the highway officials to continue
the program as prepared.

WISH TO CHANGE HEADGATE
Fort Bent Ditch Co. Finds 1t Neces-
sary to Change Location
of Headgate.

The district court has granted a
hearing to the Fort Bent Ditch Co.
for November 18th at Las Animas on
the proposition of changing the loca-
tion of their headgate in the river
west of Lamar The dam was wash
ed out by the big flood of last June
and the course of the river changed
to such an extent that the officers of
the company find it will be cheaper
to move the headgate to a new site
than to rebuild at the former location.
This company holds some Of the most
valuable priorities in the river and
was in fine shape to serve its patrons
when the great flood tore out its dam
few months ago. Satisfactory ne
gotiations have been completed for
funds to repair the loss and the en-
gineers are new working on the plans
for a new dam and headgate.

A TASTE OF REAL THING
Company f Gets Acquainted With a
Touch of Real Military Life and
Sits Up and Takes Notice.

The men who joined the national
guard last spring because they thought
or thought they thought they need
the exercise are going to get just what
they thought they thought they need
ed. For some Monday nights past the
attendance at drills has been very
light, and the officers have been urg-
ing the men to attend more regularly.
Last Monday evening they quit urg-
ing and sent out a roundup sqaud
armed for bear and brought in all
guardsmen who could be found. They
were allowed to drill little longer
than usual and permitted to go, but
the lesson will increase attendance at
Monday night drills for some time to
come.
Plans for the new armory will be
here this coming week and the local
contractors will be given an opportuni-
ty to see if they can build it within
the appropriation. The plans provide
for building that will be credit to
the city and pleasure and conven-
ience to the boys.

Electric Irrigation Possibilities

w. F. Raber, Manager of Pueblo
Light & Power Company, in address
before Manufacturers Association
spoke of the possibilities of electric ir-
rigation in the Arkansas Valley. He
said:
"Vast areas of Land which might be
made to produce valuable agricultural
products are lying idle in the Arkan-
sas Valley today. There are thous-
ands of acres of rich land which could
be irrigated by underflow water in
this region. As an example. one farm
er using underflow water supplied II
other ranches with water from his
well when an irrigation ditch on which
they depended was put out of com
mission by the flood There are great
quantities of underflow water avail
able in the valley and the possibii-
ties of utilizing it are wonderful. |
predict a general realization of this
comparatively new source of water
and consequent utilization of it in the
near future in this section"

AMERICAN LEGION
DECIDES TONIGHT
Question of Observance of Armistice
Day in Lamar Will be Decided
Tonight by Members of
Legion.

There has been considerable talk in
Lamar for some days about some kind
of ceremonies to celebrate the ami
versary of Armistice Day on Friday,
November 11th. The matter belongs
of right to the American Legion to
decide and they will meet tonight at
the X. of p. hall to consider the ques-
ton and decide whether to celebrate
the day and in what manner. Lamar
and Prowers county attempted to cele-
brate the first anniversary of the day
in 1919, but the weather that day
practically spoiled the program and
little was done except the organizing
of the Walter l.. Bennett Post of the
American Legion. Last year there
was nothing special done in the way
of observance. The day will always
dates in the history of the world, for
never before has such a large portion
of the people of the world been en-.
gagged with an almost death grip on
each others throats. The slow return
of most portions of the world back to
normal and the mental attitude of the
large mass of the people of all coun-
tries since the war in regarding moth
ing but the material things of life as
worth while, has prevented the amount
of interest being taken in the observ-
ance of the day that will be done in
the years to come when humanity
gets back to normalcy. The enter
tainment committee OF the Y. NJ. .. As
and committees of several other or
ganizations have been appointed to as
sist the Legion IL it should decide to
have a general program of observance.

Would Call Their Bluff.

A. c. Davis, former locomotive en-
gineer, but now an official of the
Guerney Ball Bearing Co. of James
town, N. Y, in stirring address be-
fore 1000 manufacturers gathered
from 10 states at convention in New
York City. discussed the transporta-
ton problem and wage increases and
"so-called national agreements" He
declared:
"They never were agreements. They
were American Federation of Labor
ultimatums.
"The Adamson bill was forced thru
an abject Congress at the behest of
a political campaign"
Referring to the strike ballot now
being counted by the railroad unions,
Davis said:
1--WE expect it to be the usual 9S
per cent announced through the press
in favor of a strike. 1t is time for
our public representatives to call this
strike bluff and have a showdown.
There are some things worse than a
strike. One of them is a continuous
compromising with wrong"
Resolutions were passed demanding
the repeal of the Adamson eight-hour
law for railroad employees and the
modification of the transportation act
SO as to abolish the United States
Railroad Labor Board.

NOT MUCH CHANGE
City Council Places Tax Levy at Prac-
tically Same Figure as Last
Iear-Means Little
Reduction.

The city council on Monday even
ing after several weeks of considera-
ton decided to fix the city tax rate
for the ensuing year at % mills. This
is a slight reduction from last year
when the rate was 25.91 mills. With
this action of the council the last hope
of any material reduction of taxes for
next year disappears. The city taxes
are almost exactly half of the total
tax, and with them remaining at prac-
tically the same figure it will be i'm
possible to make any considerable re-
duction in the balance. Nearly two
thirds of the remaining taxes are for
the schools and the board will hold n
meeting Saturday night for the pur-
pose of fixing the rate for this pur-
pose. of the remainder the state tax
has already been decided on at same
figure as last year and the commits
sioners for the county could not make
much of n slash as the total county
tax is only about one-eighth of the
whole tax. Last years tax rate was

SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO
Six Counties in Southeastern Part Of
State Show Greatest Gain in
Wheat Acreage.

Final reports of county assessors to
the State Immigration Department
show a total of 1.7S6,O7O acres of
wheat in Colorado this year, compared
with ,354 ,00S acres reported last year.
This is an increase of 432,O62 acres.
or approximately 30 per cent. The in
crease in confined almost exclusively
to the non-irrigated districts of east
ern Colorado and is most marked in
the southeastern counties including
Kit Carson, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Prov
ers, Baca and Las Animas.
This increase is also confined large
ly to winter wheat. Assessors' re-
ports this year show LAOS, ,26O acres
of winter wheat, compared with ,O19.-
l42 acres reported last year. The
spring wheat area reported is 377, $40
last year. The increase in acreage of
winter wheat is something more than
38 per cent, compared with an increase
of slightly less than IL per cent in
spring wheat. OF this years wheat
crop in the state, 1884 per cent is
winter wheat and 2116 per cent is
spring wheat, compared with 1927
percent winter wheat and 2i73 per
cent spring wheat last year 1t should
be remembered that winter wheat was
not grown to any considerable extent
in CnInra do prayinue 70 1QnS C;p.a
that time the increase in acreage de
voted to spring wheat has been COM
paratively small, while the winter
wheat acreage has increased steadily
and very rapidly. The experience of
growers has proved that winter wheat
is a much more dependable crop on
non-irrigated land here than spring
wheat, and the introduction of improv-
ed strains of winter wheat in the past
few years has resulted in greatly in
creased interest among farmers in this
crop. Reports of county assessors to
the Immigration Department show that
1887 farmers in the state grew win
ter wheat this year, and 14,553 grew
spring wheat. But average acreage
of winter wheat per farm in the state
this year is 1886 acres, while the av-
erage for spring wheat is but 7.23
acres.
Assessors reports show that 92.04
per cent of the winter wheat in the
state this year is non-irrigated, com
pared with S9.2 per cent last year OF
spring wheat 51.6S per cent is nom
irrigated this year, compared with 50.3
per cent last year. OF the states total
wheat crop this year, S3.45 per cent

Mysterious Fires.

Twice in the last week there has
been very peculiar fires in the farm
ing section north of Lamar. Each has
caught long after midnight when it
could not be laid to sparks from either
the railroad locomotives or mills. The
blacksmith shop at Kornman burned
up with all its tools, loss of several
hundred dollars, and Hugh Jenkins
granary with some tools and consider
able grain was destroyed.

age of irrigated wheat in the state
this year. as reported by county as
SCISSORS, is 29s,115 acres, compared
with 276.374 acres last year, while the
acreage of non-irrigated wheat this
year is 1,4s7,9 ,955 acres, compared with

that If any material relief is to come
it must necessarily start with the city

One West Tennesseean is
Ha ppy and He Tells the
Reason Why

Due to the big drop in cotton prices
there are lot of farmers in West Ten
nessee who are wearing long faces but
County Agent R. E. Ellis OF Weakly
has found one who is wear ny a smile.
Mr.. Ellis Says The most optimistic
farmer have met recently is Ben Eas-
ties owner of 40 acre farm from
which his net sales for 1920 amounted
to 81. 307 off of less than IL acres of
cultivated crop land, as follows: | scre
of strawberries 1915; 81 hogs $3.50; l
colt, $50; l cow $50; 5 barrels of corn in
June, s55; wool and lambs from 10
ewes $s2, ! acre of sweet potatoes $7s;
chickens; eggs and butter ais,
Only 9 acres of corn and beans were
cultivated, no cotton and no tobacco.

rels of corn in the crib besides his hay
and other feed. A good milk cow and
q bunch of hens are making the living

cure the meats better and cheaper than
the farmer could. But now the in.
creased freiShts and heavy toll claimed
by the packer change the conditions and
make homecoming better and cheaper.
Freight to the packer and back to the
farmer will cost the farmer almost as
much as his meat would cost on his
home-cured meat. Now 40 cent corn 10

cite county stores and without unreaon-
able profits by local stores, to, for the

equal to the price the grower get for ths
corn make the price three times what
the grower got for 1t. Other articles
could be consider ed in like manner and
in each case 1t could be found the rail-
roads are exacting an unreasonable and
unfair share in the cost of these arti-
Giles to the consumer. A shipment
from Memphis to Somerville that five
years ago cost rs cents now costs So
The way to overcome this condition is
to grow the corn, hay, hogs. beef cat
tie, potatoes, and every other article
that can be grown in each community,
save these things when grown and use
them in the community aud save freights
and profits on them. We need right
here an elevator company to buy corn,
hay, oats, wheat. etc.. grown by farm
ers, for resale to others who do not
grow them, We need creameries.

local commodities for local needs and to
save freight out and freight back.
How often have you seen corn shipped
out and other corn shipped in2 The
public can not afford to continue pay
ing present freights .on the present
quantities and on present amounts of
