MEXICAN BULL FIGHT
Hundreds of Lamar Citizens Enjoy
One of the Most Unique Enter
tainments Ever Given in
the Valley.

Lamar had an opportunity last week
TO get fine view of old Mexico life.
religious. patriotic and amusement.
The week opened in the Mexican Col
only in the northeast corner of the
city with some OF their most ceremon-
ious religious rites and festivals, and
was followed by patriotic celebra-
tion of their independence day and
finally on Sunday by an imitation bull
fight and some Of their most typical
dances. Everything was free except
the last entertainment which was Civ
en- to raise funds to assist in the work
of building their new church now be-
ing erected in the northeast corner of
Lamar. There was a crowd estimated
at fifteen hundred about evenly di-
vided between the Mexican and other
Lamar people. The day was perfect
and the open air pavilion was crowd
ed to the seating capacity and many
in autos and standing. The bulls and
performers were all enthusiastic per-
former and gave an entertainment
which was evidently as good an inn
itation of the real thing as could be
staged in this country. Two Of the
performers had been actual bull fight
ers in Mexico and the ease and grace
of the leader in landing the final
thrust was evidence of practice and
skill combined. The well padded
clowns took blows and tumbles that
would have put any one not in cotton
armor out Of business early in the
deal.
But more entertaining than even
the fighting to most Of the crowd
were the native dances and the cos
tunes Of the dancers. The gay colors
and wealth Of noise making beads and
instruments, together with the violent
exercise required were much appreciat.
ed by the crowd. The dances were
very different from any ever seen here
before and these alone constituted an
entertainment more than worth the
price Of admission charged. The
Aztec shimmie" and the "Montezuma
hoe-down" had any Of the modern
dances beat. The little daughter Of
the dance leader was really the star
attraction Of the day as she was the
most graceful and enthusiastic Of all
the dancers.

The committee composed of Hon. w.
b. Gordon, Major H. C. Byrnes and R.
l.. Christy returned last Thursday

the organization of a company of the
National Guard and also a battalion

made at the K. P. hall on Monday

ed in at that time. The other 36 have
since been mustered in by Major
Byrnes. Two or three Of those enlist
ed were refused on account Of age or
weight. but their places have been fill

The completion Of this enlistment
means that Lamar will secure the larg-
est and best armory in this section of
the state as it will in addition to the
regulation company Of the National
Guard have the battalion headquarters
and battalion squad under command of
Major II. c. Byrnes. who will be in
command of this district. Co. E at
the meeting on Monday evening re-
elected its old officers from Capt.
Frank Strain down and they will be
in command for the next year.
Lamar will have the first armory in
the valley and it will be fine building
on the lots recently purchased just
west Of the city hall. The plans re-
Gently on exhibit drawn by the archi-
tects of the Brown Lumber Co. have
been practically accepted and our city
will have q building that all citizens
can be proud Of and one which will be
much appreciated by memebers of the
guard.

HARDING PAYS
HIGH TRIBUTE
TO ELKS LODGE

Washington. May 8.-High tribute
to the part played in the world war
by the Elks was paid by President
Harding today. He spoke at the un-
yelling Of bronze memorial to those
of the order who died in the great
world war.
A bronze tablet perpetuating the
service Of the local members Of the
order contained 376 names, with gold
stars in memory of some who did not
return.
Frank A. Hogan, an officer Of the
local lodge. in introducing the presi-
dent, spoke of the loyalty OF the Elks
thruout the nation during the war.
1--WE abolished the hyphen 25 years
before the war accentuated its men
ace" he said.
In reply. President Harding said:
"As a member Of the order, know
something of its teachings Of patriot
ism within the walls of Elks lodges
thruout the country.
81 am betraying no secret II l tell
you that part of the initiation cere-
mony in this order is the presentation
of an American flag to each candi-
date. We can never have too much
of the flag or too much of devotion
to country. The benevolent and pro-
tective order of Elks entered into the
cause for which America fought in
the world war with whole hearts and
soul.
This fraternal order is founded up
on the principles of Justice, fidelity,
charity and brotherly love. If we
could have justice thruout the world
there could never be conflict again.
If we have fidelity can pledge you
the perpetuity of this republic"
