II You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy 10

benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a

and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.

LAMAR WINS VALLEY
CHAMPIONSHIP
High School Team VIII Now Go To
Colorado Springs for Game to
Settle Division Champion
ship.

The Lamar team went to La Junta
last Friday in badly crippled condi
tion, and succeeded in holding the
strong team there to Z to 7 tie. The
regulars were not all in line and those
who were there all had more or less
injuries from the hard games with Las
Animas and Rocky Ford on the two
previous weeks. Several of them were
out of the game before the end of the
first half, and it was only by hard
work on the part of those who could
play that the La Junta team was held
to tie. The La Junta team scored
touchdown and goal in the first
quarter and it was not until the third
quarter that Lamar was able to match
it. The fourth was played out in des-
perate attempt of each team to add n
winning score but without avail. A
large delegation of home boosters ac-
companied the Lamar boys and cheer
ed them in the game.
As Lamar had won one more game
than La Junta this tie gave them the
valley league championship. Their
record being four wins and one tie to
La Junta's three wins and two ties
This leaves Lamar Savages and Colo
RADIO Springs Terrors as the two south
ern Colorado champions. In the north
ern part of the state Longmont and
Wray are holding the same titles. On
next Saturday the two division cham
pionships will be settled. The toss-up
made Lamar go to Colorado Springs
to play for the southern Colorado title
and Wray goes to Longmont to play
for the northern title. The winners
will meet on Thanksgiving Day to set
tie the state championship. Then on
December 3rd the state champions Of
Colorado and Utah play at Salt Lake.
Coach Koonsman leaves on Friday for
Colorado Springs with full squad of
seventeen Savages and all hope they
will be in good condition. The Ter
rors and Savages have had number
of desperate scraps in the past and
we feel sure the boys will maintain
the reputation of the tribe.

DISTRICT COURT
Only Minor Matters Disposed of So
Far But Several Important
Cases Set.

Judge A. f. Hollerbeck o, ened dis
trict court here on Tuesdcy of this
week and it looks as if it might be a
long session. So far the time has
been taken up with minor matters and
setting the time of trial of cases on
the docket The case against the
young man and woman who stole the
sGmple case of the Heinz Pickle Co.
drummer was heard and they were al
lowed to plead guilty to petty larceny
and sentenced to thirty and twenty
five days in the county Jail respect
lively. If they had chosen any other
day but Armistice Day for their stunt
they might have got away with it, but
the order had gone out that no one
was to get "pickled" on that day.
The big bank robbery from Trinidad
is set for trial on Monday, November
81, but there is now a motion before
the court to stop the trial on the
ground that neither Las Animas or
Prowers counties have the money to
pay the bills. This will probably not
be allowed to stop tie regular process
of the courts, however. The trial if
held here will last a good part Of a
week as there will be hard fight on
both sides.
The most important Prowers coun-
ty criminal case, and the one attract
ing most attention is that Of Ed Nc
Claim charged with rape on a five
year old daughter Of neighbor. This
case has been set for Tuesday, No
vember 90.
There are a large number of civil
cases on the docket, some Of them
very important, but they do not at
tract the attention that the special
cases mentioned above do. There are
also several ndpsupport and divorce
cases to be heard Mt this term.

DELINQUENT TAX LIST
Rapid Payment of Taxes Past Two
Weeks Justifies Postponement.

The delinquent tax list appears in
this weeks Register and is u story in
several parts with many narrowing
details. 1t has monster william un-
der the name of Amount of Taxes,
Penalties, ETC." but if there is any
hero or heroine we have failed to make
their acquaintance. The putting off
of the sale for two weeks to Rass over
beet pay day has amply justified itself
as the list has been reduced nearly
one-third in that time and the coun-
ty received nearly thirty thousand in
taxes. The list is still long one but
nothing near what it would have been
two weeks ago.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
All Farmers Should Look After the
Weeds Along the Roads.

The condition of the roads is one
of the greatest items in the yearly
calculations of the farmer now, and
it is to his interest to do all in his
power to assist in keeping them in
shape. Weeds along the side OF the
road now that snow time is here are
one Of the greatest menaces to good
roads as they cause the snow to pile
up in drifts and soften the road bed
so that it is easily destroyed by heavy
loads. To burn these weeds is there
fore not only an act Of good wisdom
on the part of the farmer but under
the law it is made his duty and pen
atty affixed for failure.
The commissioners in a notice in
this weeks Register are asking all
farmers to comply with this law in
order to protect the roads and it should
be done at once to be sure that it is
completed before snow comes.

have made for themselves a wide cir

Bank Robbery.

On last Thursday morning the
American State Bank at Granada was
entered from the rear window by par
ties unknown and a hole tunnelled
through the brick end cement wall of
the vault. In the open vault the rob
bers found about five hundred dollars
in cash loose. They also carried Off
two private safety boxes-one con-
tanning $3.50 in Liberty coupons bonds
and the other private papers of no
value except to the owner. 1t was
evidently the work of amateurs as no
attempt was made to blow the big
safe so little booty was secured. SO
far no clue has been found to the rob
bers, but it is believed to be people
of the vicinity. The loss was mostly
covered by insurance

HEADED RIGHT WAY
Taxes at Last Show a Drop But Would
Be More Appreciated III the
Tendency Toward Bottom
Was Stronger.

The county commissioners complet-
ed the making of the county tax levy
this week and with its final decision
the total tax levy for 1921 can be
finally given. The commissioners in
the ordinary county taxes heretofore
levied have made reduction of near
ly 20 per cent or from 7.1O mills in
1920 to $40 mills in 1921. But the
last legislature in passing the teach
ers' minimum compensation law order
ed new levy for teachers salaries
to be made by the commissioners that
would raise fund equal to $75 per
month for nine months of the year
for each regularly employed teacher
of the county. This levy is manda-
tory and the commissioners have no
control at all over it. This new coun-
ty levy therefore had to be placed at
4 mills. This will raise nearly one
hundred thousand dollars and will be
divided up among the districts in pro-
portion to the teachers employed. The
special levies for school purposes in
the various districts should show n
corresponding reduction as they get
the benefit of this tax and not the
county fund. The county levies for
the two years compare as follows:

EAGLES CELEBRATE
Prowers Aerie 14OS Has Big Time on
Armistice Day.

The Lamar Eagles were one of the
livest punches in the city all day on
last Friday just as they are every
other day in the year. They were the
only order outside the regular mill
tary orders that had a squad in the
big parade and they were represented
by large delegation and jazz band.
They kept open house all day at their
club rooms and had crowd with them
all the time. In the evening they had
crowded house to witness one of the
best boxing cards of the year, and il
proved one of the most orderly and
well conducted affairs of the kind ever
seen here in spite of the big crowd.
w. j. Snyder and G. r. Spann of the
Eagles state organization were pres
ent and made short but interesting
talks.
Matt Ober then took charge and put
on his card of fast boxing matches.
The celebrated kids, Kid Bangem and
Kid Slamem, smashed each other up
for a two round draw as a curtain
raiser. The first regular match was
between Caldwell of Fort Lyon and
Whitmyer of Lamar and resulted in
a six round draw. Baldy McLain. the
well known sailor scrapper Of Fort
Lyon, scored Knockout of his op-
ponent, Jake Dunn OF the Fort, in the
third round.
The main event was an eight round
match between two fighters that have
made considerable reputation in this
section of the state, Dewey Smith Of
Eads and Kid Mack of Pueblo. The
former is the hardest scrapper of all
the bunch in this part Of the state
and the latter one Of the most skill
ful. The referee declared 1t n draw
and the crowd generally agreed with
him.
The Lamar register., 1921-11-16

In the evening F. H. Kelsey and his
assistants gave a fire display of fire
works including some extra fine special
pieces emblematic cf the occasion.
The big ball in the evening at the
X. P. temple again drew crowded
house. There was much disappoint-
ment that the advertised orchestra,
Deep River Jazz Orchestra, failed to
keep their contract. Local talent was
quickly gathered together late in the
evening and did the best that could be
done under the circumstances. It was
the only fall down from the advertis-
ed program and was no fault of the
local people.
It was big celebration and big
and happy crowd ard Walter l.. Ben
nett Post can well feel proud of their
first big show.

BEET PAY DAY
November 18th Was Big Day for
Farmers of the Valley.

Nearly one and n half million dol
lars were paid out by the three beet
sugar companies of the valley at their
monthly pay day to the farmers on
Tuesday of this week. This money
helped quicken business in all lines
and enabled many farmers to meet
bills that were hanging over them. At
the county treasurer's office the re-
ceipts were over ten thousand dollars
and many names were stricken off the
delinquent tax list. The beets are
turning out much better than expect
ed and it is proving about the best
of this years crops after all.

The Lamar Hospital.

A meeting of the citizens is called
for Friday evening, December 16, 1921, 4,
at the Elks Club to elect two directors
of the Lamar Hospital Association. All
citizens of the county and especially
all those who have contributed to the
funds are earnestly invited to come
out, hear about the hospital and what
it is doing, and to help elect the di-
rectors. The work Of no institution
in our city is more important or more
beneficial and all should give it every
help and encouragement possible. The
directors donate their services and
some of them a great deal, but they
cannot make it a success unless they
have the backing of the entire COM
munity. The needs of the institution
are growing all the time and with the
hard times it has had to extend a lot
of help to those who will never be
able to pay, but the doors are kept
open for all sufferers to receive need
ed help and even if you are not need
ing its care at present, you should feel
great interest in its work anyway
