This week, Friday, at seven-forty-
five at the high school occurs the big
debate between Leadville and Lamar,
to decide the championship of the
southern district of the state league.
As the same schools fought last year

team and has won two debates this
season. Lamar has also had two vic
tories, and is hoping to defeat her old
rival again this year,
A short entertainment of music and

Got Some Rights.

The courts have ruled at Las Ami
mas in a case where a man was
caught by the sheriff in the act OF
making whiskey that that fact is not
sufficient evidence to convict him OF
violation of the prohibition law. He
must be caught in the act of giving
away, selling or transporting it. He
can make all he pleases for his own
use, but the court has not rendered
an opinion yet on the question Of what
IL could do in case his friends over
powered him and took drink or two.
II could easily be done.

Got Extra Job.

That a coroner don't always act en-
tirely on the dead ones" was demon
strated last Friday evening when DR..
L. E. Likes, county coroner, served at
tachment papers on Sheriff John A.
Simpson. and took from him the big
bootleggers car he had seized at Las
Animas the previous Sunday. The
Murphy Motor Sales Co. claims the
ownership of the car and gave bond
for S275O and Sheriff Simpson had to
turn it over to the coroner for the
owners. 1t makes a farce out of that
part of the law against bootlegging
which has been the principal weapon
of the officers in enforcing of it. No
bootlegger will own his own car here
after or at least he won't own the
one he uses in his trade.

March Weather.

So far in spite of predictions and
old saws about lions and lambs and
sich things, March has been a very
beautiful and mild month. 1t is not
too late for a decided change but it
has to come quick and violent if it
makes the lion outweigh the lamb. As
for that other old saw about the ground
hog, Well, if he got scared at his
shadow and crawled back in his hole,
he has missed six weeks of the pref
test weather he ever had a chance to

Not Satisfactory.

Tying any portion of Colorado on
as tail to Kansas will prove a snare
and delusion for those who expect to
profit thereby. They all find it out
soner or later as Baca county is now
doing. Witness the following from the
Springfield Herald-Democrat.
"The Springfield community club
now knows that it made a mistake in
permitting the payment of that $3.50
check sent y Dodge City, and that
the Democrat-Herald was right in its
expose of the G. S. A. year ago. The
G. S. A. last year collected 100000 or
$50, O,OOO-and no financial statement of
the years doings. What Baca county
wants to do hereafter is to look after
Baca county, and if there is any money
to be thrown away to throw it away
on our own people"

The Result of 4Peaee Without vieto--

The stern determination of the ~'
lies to enforce their terms uron c.
many should receive full endorsement
from this country. The months of in
decision and chickering's that followed
the armistice would have been impos
sible had the war been waged to the
point of unconditional surrender on
the part of the Germans. That con-
summation was denied the allies
through the interference of this Gov
ernment, and the two years delay in
European reconstruction has been the
result. But the parleys have at least
come to an end, and soon the people
of the war torn areas will begin to
receive the reparations that should
have been theirs long ago.

When Sewage smelt Inviting.

The corridors and halls of the state
ly old structure known as the Otero
county court house reeked with the
fumes Of red liquor last Saturday af-
ternoon, when sixteen gallons of booze
which had been held as evidence
against various and sundry offenders
charged with violations Of the total
abstinence laws, were poured into the
sewer and started on their way to
mingle with the pure-sparkling waters
of the raging Arkansas. One ten gal
lon keg had been found in the residence
of Dick Dempsey, and there were sew
eral jugs and a number of bottles part
ly filled with the fluid which in this
case might have inebriated, but pudg-
ing by the fumes and the looks there
of, might also have slain.-La Junta

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

The report of the State Land Board
for the biennial period ending with
November 30, 1920, now being COM
piled by the State immigration De
partment for the Colorado Year Book,
shows that 156,502 acres of state land
was sold during the past two years,
at an average price of S21.3S per acre.
This is 81 per acre more than the av-
erage price received for state land
during the biennial period ending with
1918 and Sl1 more than the average
price received for the period ending
with 1916. The amount of state land
remaining unsold at the end of the
last biennial period was 2,9SS,602 acres
of which amount approximately 1900,
600 acres is leased. This means that
less than 100000 acres of state land
is at present vacant and producing no
revenue. The revenue received dur
ing the period from the lease of agri-
cultural lands was about S673, 900,
while the total purchase price of the
ldilu Solu was dDobb SofoO1sOOo. AhN
general advance in the price of farm
lands in the past four years and the
general increase in agricultural de-
velopment during the same period is
strongly emphasized by the report.
Figures now being compiled by the
State immigration Department for the
1921 edition of the Colorado Year
Book show that 44.41 per cent of the
land in the state is patented, compar-
ed with 1921 per cent year ago.
The amount of homestead land remain
ing open to entry is now 1854 per
cent of the total area of the state,
compared with 1917 per cent year
ago. The area of national forests
practically unchanged, while the acr
age of state land has decreased fro
4.61 per cent of the area to 4.50 per
cent. The amount of land on the tay
rolls in 1920 increased more than dur
ing any recent year, though consider
ably more than one-half of the states
area is still unpatented and pays 10
taxes. Nearly one-sixth of the state'7
area is now in process of transfCr
from the state or federal governrc--
to private owners, being Homestead
land not yet proved up or state land
not yet fully paid for and therefor
not patented.
