UNION SERVICES
Of World Peace Service Last
Sunday Evening.

A union service was held last Sun
day evening at the high school audi
torium at which Judge j. C. Horn, a
member of the National Commission
on World Disarmament, presided and
which was Joined in by most of the
church organizations of our city. The
disarmament program is not a vision
ary scheme for having nations promise
to be good and then fly at each others
throats before the ink was dry ON the
agreement as was the League of Ma
tons, but is Il practical plan to main
tam state of peace along the lines
OF mutual disarmament to a point
where no nation would be able to take
snap judgment ON the others as has
been done several times in the past
century. The experience of the past
week when half dozen nations, who
solemnly signed the League of Nations
agreement, began moving fleets and
armies into position to jump onto other
members of the same organization
without the slightest warning, proves
that it is too frail dependence to be
of any worth, and that only through
mutual disarmament can any substan-
tial state of peace be obtained. There
was large and interested attendance
and many talks were made. The fol-
lowing were some of the speakers in
addition to Judge Horn:
Rev. Hugh Cresswell of the Presby-
terian church; Rev T. F. Kelly of the
Baptist church; Supt f. j. Knight of
the city schools; Judge C. c. Goodale,
a Civil war veteran; Major f. d.
Householder who saw service in the
World war and the PHILIPPINE insur-
rection; DIR. C. 4. Knuckey, Post Com
mander Of the American Legion; II.
ID. Lair, a member Of the faculty of
Chinese university; C. J. Howard, pas
tor Of the Nazarene church, and Rev
l.. b. Logan, pastor Of the Methodist
church.

Death of Mr.. Hall,
race.

On last Friday evening Franklin d.
Hall, an aged and respected citizen of
Lamar, died at the family home at
l08 South Second street. He was 76
years of age and a veteran Of the Civil
war. The funeral services were held
at the Presbyterian church, of which
he was an earnest member and work
er, on Sunday afternoon and the body
shipped to Winfield, Kansas, his form
er home, for burial The remains were
accompanied by the members Of the
family, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. P. Potter,
Mrs. F. d. Hall, Mrs. John Burns, w.
H. Hall, and NJ. +. Hall. The burial
took place at Winfield and the memb-
ers of the family returned to Lamar
today.
Franklin ID. Hall was born in Ohio
January /, 1886. He WAS united in
marriage with Mary E. Parkhurst on
March 8, 1874 in White county, Illinois.
To this union were born seven children,
one of whom died in infancy. or the
living children, two sons and two
daughters live in Lamar, and two sons
in Oklahoma.
In 1896 Mr.. Hall united with the
Methodist Protestant church. Some
years later he became a member of
the Presbyterian church at Kay City,
Oklahoma, in which church he was lat
er made an elder and served as long
as he lived there. In 1918 Mr.. Hall
and wife came to Lamar to make their
home, and have been members of the
Presbyterian church here since that
time.
Mr.. Hall enlisted for service in the
Civil war on September 16, 1864, and
served as private under Capt. Alexand-

LAND OFFICE CHANGES
Silas f. Speckmann of Springfield
Now in Complete Charge.

The announced change in the local
land office took place on August 1st
when Silas E. Speckmann Of Spring
field took charge as Register OF the
Lamar land office, succeeding both
Register A. l.. Beavers and Receiver
X. ]. McGrath, thus combining the two
offices. 1t is believed that this combin-
ing of the two offices will materially
lengthen the time the office can be
maintained here and thus be of great
convenience to the settlers. Mr. Speck
mann has long been familiar with land
business being one of the real old
timers in Baca county, and for num-
ber of years holding the position Of U.
s. commissioner for the Springfield
district, in which capacity he has had
a large amount of experience in tax
ing proofs and other land office work.
He is man of high standing and well
known integrity in Baca county, and
will be very acceptable to the patrons
of the office. The retiring officials,
Messrs. Beavers and McGrath, retire
with highly creditable record Of ef-
ficiant service and courteous treat
ment Of the patrons. Mr.. McGrath
has been attending the democratic
state convention this week and has not
yet announced just what he will do
to fill in the time between his rifle
matches and practical jokes. Mr..
Beavers will open an insurance office
and enter upon the active soliciting OF
business in that line His friends in
sist that he will be the democratic
nominee for the office Of sheriff. Ions
long established reputation for retic-
ence and deffidence makes II impos-
sible to get an expression out Of him
on the subject, but nevertheless II looks
like safe bet that he will be in the
race.

BOY. PAGE THE INTERPRETER
Official Paper Publishes the Ne"
Schedule of Electric Rates
for Lamar.

By order of the board of aldermen
the new schedule of electric light, heat
and power rates was published Mon
day evening in the Daily News. This
is all very well, but they failed to
provide an official interpreter to un-
tangle the miracle of typographical
errors and unintclligible technical
terms SO that the plain average citizen
could tell what it was all about any
way, and whether we were getting a
raise, cut or sleeping potion. Many
of our citizens who tried to read
through it found it to be the latter.
With the aid of a late dictionary, an
interpreter and an electrician we un-
wound enough of it to find out that
while it may be n big boon to those
who use large amount of juice for
CT Lamar, who foot the bills, if lucky
may save as much as four bits a year
and maybe only two. Even if he is
large enough consumer to use 100 X.
W's per month his saving will be As
cents. However, while wandering
through the mazes of broken columns
of technical terms, figures and initial
capital letters, telling us that p. U. C.
No. 2 cancels original No. 3, etc. etc,
tohellmitem, it is comforting to have
it explained to you by the interpreter
that you are not being hit by a meat
axe, but really if you burn enough
juice during the year to make it pos
sible you may save the price of a hair
cut. The publication says the state
ment was introduced and read by
Professor Jones, but he always was
good at figgers and foreign languages.

Exhibition Flyers Here.

Messrs. II. ]. Lynch and C. A. Lind
bergh, who arc Kansas exhibition fly
crs, were in Lamar yesterday and
spent the day here. They make a
speciality of theatrical stunts in the
air, Lynch taking a flying leap out
of the plane while it is n mile high
ard going at speed Of one hundred
miles an hour. They were enroute to
Monte Vista where they are going to
give series of exhibitions at the big
celebration to be held there next week,
and expect to return to Lamar the last
of next week, and will probably give
an exhibition here at that time.

Democrats Continue Tariff Opposition

The general revision OF our tariff
laws still engages the attention Of the
Senate, with the dilatory tactics Of the
minority party very much in evidence
Senators opposed TO the bill have been
assigned to debate different schedules
so that, by system Of relays. practi-
cally the same line Of argument is re
peated time and again.
Greater progress was made when
the agricultural schedule was reached:
in fact the rates proposed provided
such needed protection for those en-
gagged in farming that much less op-
position. on the part of the democratic
party was expected Some democratic
votes were cast for the most import
ant items.
As stated by Senator Gooding of
Idaho, one Of the most stalwart champ
ions of the farmer: I've. hear much
about back to the farm, but when we
study the conditions on the farms and
realize what struggle the farmers
have had to keep the wolf from the
door it is irony to talk about back to
the farm
MIR. President, the free-trade policy
of the democratic party is largely re
sponsible for the condition of agricul-
ture, for they placed practically all Of
the great products of the farm on the
free list.
"The trouble today with agriculture
is that we have an unbalanced condi-
ton on the farm. This has been
brought about by the vicious free
trade policy of the democratic party
toward agriculture, which has practi-
cally destroyed some of our industries.
Through a lack of proper protection
to some of our industries we are grow
ing too much cotton and not enough
sugar; too much wheat and not enough
WOOL and too much corn and not en-
ough flax, hemp, and soya beans; and
what is true of these crops is true Of
other farm products in America"

SCHOOL TEACHERS
Lamar School to Have Strung Faculty
for Next Term.

The board of education has spent a
good many hours lately in pouring over
teachers applications, interviewing ap-
plicants, and conducting correspond
ence with people who might recon-
mend them. As result, a complete
faculty has been made up, composed OF
young men and women of unusual abll-
ity. Lamar is assured of one of the
best terms of school in the history OF
the city, if qualifications of teachers
is any indication. 1t will be noted
that in the high school every teacher
uoing academic teaching holds Il de-
gree from a standard institution of
collegiate rank, and every grade teach
er holds life certificate from some
recognized teachers college, and all
come with from two to fifteen years
of successful experience. The entire
list is given below:

Republican Precinct Assemblies.

The republicans of the various pre-
cincts of the county held their assem-
blies last evening and the reports from
all sections Of the county are that they
were unusually well attended, and that
there will be a large attendance at
the county assembly which meets at
the court house on Friday morning Of
this week to designate the candidates
20 be voted for at the primary cleo
tion on September 18th. The interest
in most precincts was such that more
voters turned out than for many years
and it looks good for the party.

DEMOCRATIC ASSEMBLY
Meets and Selects Delegates to the
State Assembly and Then as
Usual Adjourns to See What
the Republicans Do.


The democratic county assembly met
at the court house last Thursday and
organized by electing j. S. Underwood
as chairman and J. A. Carrico as sec
rotary. They did little beyond select
ing delegates to the state and district
assemblies and passing some resolu-
tions. They then followed the old time
democratic precedent of adjourning to
see what the republicans do before
completing their program. The demo-
cratic party, here and elsewhere, has
never known what il stands for until
they see what the republicans do, and
then they are agin' it. This year is
no exception. Their resolutions con-
denim the handling of the strike situa-
| ton by President Harding in contrast
with the "glorious"-that's what they
call it-surrender 10 the labor unions
by the late unlamented Wilson admin
istration. They take especial pride in
the Wilson regime by which the Labor
unions ran the railroads during the
war and so depleted the rolling stock
and efficiency of the equipment and
employees that it wall take years to
restore former conditions. But it is
easily understood when we notice that
the majority Of the resolutions COM
mittee were printers and we remember
that McAdoo spent nearly twenty mil
lion dollars of the railroads. money IN
printing "WILLIAM G. McADOO" in
box car letters on placards to post all
over the railroads equipment and
rights-of-w The printers made a
good profit and in the end the public
had to pay for it. After this little
boost for their own game, they follow
ed the time dishonorcd democratic GUS
tom of being agin' the government and
everything else.

lected for the conventions:
