Curfew Shall Ring.

Instead of the old well known poem
of olden days, "Curfew Shall Not Ring
Tonight" the Lamar city council has
decided that it shall ring again in La
mar. This was decided at the last
meeting of the council after complaints
made by many of the parents of the
city that the children were doing too
much running at large on the streets
at night. The curfew whistle will
sound the alarm at o'clock and all
young people are supposed to HE them
selves to home-but will they? That
is the main question. If accomplished
it will be of great benefit in many
ways.

LEAGUE UNPOPULAR
only Democrats That Favor League
Are Among Those Missing.

The democratic tidal wave over the
country could not save Mr.. Wilson'S
special pets in the senate or punish
the enemies of his League. The two
senators whom he most violently hated
on account of their opposition to his
plans, Senator Lodge, republican of
Massachusetts, and Senator Reid, dem
ocrat of Missouri, are both reelected
in spite of the most personal efforts of
the ex-President to secure their de-
feat. His personal friend and leader
of his fight for ratification of the
League, Senator Hitchcock, democrat
of Nebraska, could not win even with
the help of the tidal wave, although
w. ]. Bryan's brother Charley and the
rest of the state ticket carried Ne
braska. Mr.. Wilson's special friend
Senator Pomerence, democrat of Ohio,
is also missing although the state tick
ct won. Even in landslide against
the republicans the voters never lost
sight of the fact that they are still
dead opposed to the League of Ma
tions and to Wilson policies.

Church Dinner.

The liveliest place in Lamar all day
and night Tuesday during election and
receiving the returns was the old bank
ing room of the Citizens State Bank
where the ladies of the NJ. E. Church
served lunches. The place was crowd
ed all day and had to close at night
sooner than they expected owing to all
the supplies being exhausted. They
served good lunches and everybody
was pleased at that place even though
they may not have been pleased at the
polling places.
