MAJOR BYRNEs RESIGNS
Decides To Quit Job as District En-
gineer for Highway Commission
and Associate Himself with
Denver Concern.

Major II. C. Byrnes, who for the
past year has been district engineer
for the state highway association in
charge of the work in the southeast
Colorado district, has resigned his
position and associated himself with
the Standard Engineering and Con-
struction Co. Of Denver with offices
at 51S-519 Ernest & Cranmer Block.
The concern does large construction
business all over the state, and the
experience and wide acquaintance of
Major Byrnes will be of great help
to them. In talking with the Major
this week he informed us that there
would be available from the national
and state funds this year an amount
for Prowers county which would in
sure a fine gravel road entirely across
the county along the Santa Fe Trail.
He said that prices for construction
materials and labor had reached very
low levels, in some instances lower
than for many years. A recent con-
tract at La Junta for laying tiling
that was estimated by Pueblo engin-
GERS at $4,000 was let for $4,000, and
others at figures far under estimates.
Lamar, he said, could now pave its
business section at figures about half
what the other cities of the valley had
paid. Major Byrnes left Tuesday night
for Denver to take up his new work.

PRowERS COUNTY STILL LEADS
Report of All Cow Testing AssOcia-
tions of the State for December
Again Shows PrOwers Coun-
ty as Leader.

The report of the Colorado Cow
Testing Association for December
shows the local association as the
state leader for several times in sue
cession. For December the average
per cow for the local association was
over hundred pounds of milk and
nearly two pounds of butter fat bet
ter than any other association of the
state. Also the average cost of feed
here was lower. The report also states
that reports for 80 associations in
nine western states shows that the
herd of Ray Gilbert at Lamar stands
second for herds of less than fifteen
cows. The report of the state official
also contains the following interesting
item:
"The Model Dairy has placed an
eighteen month old heifer on test that
has never calved. She has been milk
ing for about three months and this
month produced $40 pounds Of milk,
containing 1872 pounds of butter fat.
This is remarkable record for a
heifer that has never salved. The
compiler has heard great deal about
the dairy cow being an animal Of habit,
but this is the first time that II was
called to his attention that a heifer
ever gave $40 pounds Of milk contain
ing 1872 pounds Of butter fat in n
month just by associating herself with
other high producing cows. Mr.. Part
ridge had better be careful or he will
lose Mr.. Leonard who has charge Of
the dairy herd. Other breeders learn
ing Of the ability Of Mr.. Leonard In
being able TO create such environment
al conditions to cause heifer to pro-
duce milk before she calves will be
in demand"

POULTRY PAYS TAXES
AND INTEREST SOMETIMES

Congressman Guy U. Hardy, Wash
ington, ID. c. says that he is getting
some encouraging letters from home.
A letter from b. A Keith of Holly
suggests that Poultry is n most prof
liable side crop on the farms of Baca
and Prowers counties and is helping
the farmer to pay taxes.
Mr.. Keith wrote in asking for some
bulletins on Poultry raising. Congress-
man Hardy will be glad to send bull
letins to all who are interested in
Poultry if they will write him, or any
other subject you are interested in.
Mr.. Keith's letter to Mr.. Hardy
contains some wisdom that might be
of interest to other farmers in Prov
ers and Baca county. He says:
"My observation this fall and win
ter leads me to the belief that the
poultry in this vicinity has not only
fed the farmer but enabled him to pull
through the tight crisis of paying not
only his taxes but has helped some
from going into bankruptcy.
"Farmers through this section raise
other crops but his only crop that pays
100 per cent on the investment is his
poultry.
ave have the right kind of climate
in this part of Colorado to raise poul
try and we have plenty of range.
ave have the right kind of food to
make number one stock, namely-grass-
hoppers and other insects, with grain,
milk and forage to keep in good con-
dition. The homesteader especially in
Baca county is turning more and more
to poultry every year and is finding
it profitable. The motor truck is
bringing the out of the way places
close to the market"

LOCAL RECORD BROKEN
Helyetia Company Attains New High
Figures for the Lamar Plant.

The Lamar condensery on last We'd
nesday and Thursday broke its two
day record for the history of the plant
They make a run on two days supply
of milk and that was the first time
the run ever passed the ninety thous-
and pound mark. Over two tons of
butterfat was contained in the run.
The big gains of late have been rapid
ly bringing the daily average supply
Of milk up and promises to continue
to increase as more and more of our
farmers are finding the regular milk
pay checks n valuable asset in keep
ing things moving on the farm. The
supply is now larger than ever before
in the history Of the plant, and it is
not due as some suppose to the clos
ing of the La Junta plant. The milk
that formerly went to that condensery
and is now coming here is only that
part east of La Junta in Bent county
that can get train accommodations. 1t
amounts to less than 1000 pounds daily
and the local plant is running above
the record without counting that
amount. The industry is growing rap
idly here and the only slump was due
to the enormous prices paid for all
farm products in 1918 and 1919 which
made the easy crops the most profit
able temporarily while help was
scarce. The local officers are very
much pleased with the showing being
made and are always ready to help
any new man interested in the dairy
business.

VOTE WILL SOON
BE ANNOUNCED
Ouestionnaires Submitted To Vote of
Y. NJ. b. A., Rotary and Lions
Clubs Being Canvassed.

T,llers were busy yesterday canvas
sing the votes cast at the recent ques-
tionnaire taken of the three clubs to
obtain basis for effective and CO.
operative work to secure four import
ant benefits for Lamar this year. The
question of what four was to be done
was left to the vote of the members
of the three clubs and all work to-
gether for the four favoritc PROPOSE
tions.
The vote of the Y. NJ. b. A. was can
vassed yesterday and the four favor
ties according TO the young men of
the town in the order of popularity
are: Paving Main street, Lighting the
street and city, Hospital ard County
Fair. Over 80 per cent of the votes
had paving Main street as one of the
items and almost always at the head.
Practically so per cent favored either
white way for Main street or better
city lights which are the same thing.
The hospital and county fair tied with
40 per cent of the vote for each. The
next most popular item was Fred kcl-
scy's aviation field, while many other
propositions of high merit received
liberal votes. One noticeable feature
was the almost entire absence of the
usual comic voting which mars co
many of these contests. 1t shows that
those casting the votes were in earn
est in their endeavor to promote what
they believed to be the best interests
of the town.
An important session of the Y. NJ.
b. A. will be held at the Elks Club
rooms this evening 1T which the as
sociation will be addressed by f. Pet
erson of the Business Extension Bu-
reau Of the University of Colorado.
The vote of the members of the as
sociation will be itemized and an
nounced. Besides this there are i'm
portant business matters to come be-
fore the meeting.

Great Theatre Disaster.

On last Saturday night while the
Knickerbocker theatre in Washington
City was crowded with people the
roof fell in carrying death destruction
to hundreds of people. The death list
is already in the neighborhood of one
hundred and as there are several hun
dred more in the hospitals many in
n critical condition the list will ur-
doubtcdly be much greater. 1t is not
the greatest death list by far N
theatre disasters but happening as it
did in the nations capital city there
were names in the list with which the
public was acquainted, and it thus is
brought home stronger to all sections
of the country. A congressional in
vestigation was started at once to dis
cover the cause and place the blame
If any.

GRAND MASTER VISITS LODGE
Large Turn Out of Masons Greets
Grand Master Marshall Van
Fleet.

One of the largest meetings in the
history of the Masonic orders in La
mar turned out on last Thursday af-
ternoon and evening to greet Marshall
Van Fleet, Grand Master Of Masons
in Colorado. There were over one
hundred and fifty members of the Or
der present during the evening and
that number were served at .he big
dinner spread in the banquet room at
$50 O'Clock.
One of the very enjoyable features
OF the evenings work was the confer
ring of the first degree by the pro-
posed officers of the proposed new
lodge at Springfield. There was a
large attendance of the members from
that section and the work as exempli-
fled by their team showed careful
study and preparation that is deserv-
ing of the highest praise. If they
secure their charter they will be well
qualified for the work they are to
perform.
There were many able talks by the
Grand Master and members and Wis
itors and at the close the members
enjoyed a social visit until late hour.
While down here the Grand Master
visited all the lodges of the valley.

LAMAR FIRMS WIN
w. +. McCue Mercantile Co. VIII Get
Contract for New Armory and
Sanitary Plumbing Co.
Gets Plumbing Contract.

The bids for the new armory build
ing at Lamar were opened in Denver
Last week and it Was found that La
mar firms were winners all down the
line. There were eight bids for con-
struction of the building, four Lamar
firms and four from the outside, and
three of the Lamar firms were the
three lowest. They were w. f. Nc
Cue Mere Co., Ed. Pierson and G. H.
Brown Lumber Co. The lowest bid
was the w. F. McCue Mere. Co. with
its bid of s31 ,216.57. 1t was winner
by over three thousand over Ed. Pier
son, the next lowest. The Sanitary
Plumbing Co. of Lamar with its bid
of S6,393 was the lowest or the plumb
ing contract and will be awarded the
contract.
The fact that all the work on this
big contract will be done by Lamar
firms and at figures nearly $500 un-
der the estimate of the engineers is
very gratifying to all Lamarites. The
plB DuilulhB VIII DC one Oh lne pest
in our city and the big assembly room
with its drill floor 50x7S feet and bal
cony running all round with a stage
capable of seating over fifty people
will give the soldier boys the best
assembly room and place for athletic
exhibitions in this section of the state.
1t will be up to the local members of
the guard to maintain the building af-
ter it is turned over to them and the
efforts of the local officers and friends
have been devoted to arrange the
plans so as to incur the least expense
for maintenance and the greatest OPP
portunities for revenue.
The inspection officers Of the Ma
tional Guard will be here next Mon
day to inspect the local companies,
and il their report is. favorable, the
contract will be let at once.
