Masons, he being the inspector general
for Colorado of that branch of mason

dress in the lodge room to which all
Masons and their ladies are invited
and urged to attend. Governor Ad-
ans is a Colorado pioneer. one of the
few big figures Of the early days left
us and all who have never heard him
should make it point to avail them
selves of this opportunity, as they will
not have many more chances to meet
the states real founders. Those who
have already heard will all be sure
to be present because they know it
will be a real treat.

The United States leads the world

Forty per cent of the working wa
ter of the world is in this country,
where a total capacity of 9,243,OOO
horse power has been installed, accord
ing to a report of the United States
Geological survey issued recently.
New York leads the states with l.
100000 horse power developed by wa
ter power and California comes sec
ond with LII 900 horse power. The
largest single power plant in the
world is at Niagara Falls, with s70.-
900 horse power capacity, but the ma
jor part of this development is on
the Canadian side.
Europe has one-third of the develop
ed water power of the world. France.
Italy, Germany, Norway, Sweden and
Switzerland have each more than l.
100000 horse power working.
With its water power and steam
generating plants the United States
furnishes its people with the cheapest
and most efficient electrical power in
the world.

p. o. RECORD ESTABLISHED
Egg Shipments from Lamar on Tues
day Reach Total of One Hundred
and Five Cases.

That the poultry industry has for
some years been rapidly gaining prom
inence in this territory has been known
to all but some times we fail to real
ize just how big a big thing is. If
you want to get a good idea of the
size of this business just inquire of
the boys at the postoffice who handle
a good part of it. The hens of the
Lamar territory have been getting
busy this week and trying to show
just what they could do, and incident
ally the boys at the postoffice have
had to hustle some also.
On Tuesday a record for the local
office was established by the ship
ment of 105 crates of eggs. AS there
are thirty dozen eggs to the crate this
means $1,000 eggs shipped out for the
one day. While this is the record the
shipments practically every day are
large. Besides these large shipments
there are many crates shipped by ex-
press each day and the trains for the
west that carry mail and express are
held up daily while the egg crates are
being loaded.
Probably few people also realize just
what this means financially for the
territory but even at present prices
these eggs are bringing in over $500
per crate and it means a good many
hundred dollars daily revenue to this
territory and earlier in the season
when the prices were high the receipts
were much larger. The eggs mostly
go to Denver. Colorado Springs and
Pueblo and the parcel post charges
are between 60 and 20 cents per crate,
so it adds considerable to the revenue
of the Lamar postoffice also-besides
furnishing healthy exercise for the Of
flee force.
In fact the chief indoor sport now
at the office is manhandling egg crates.
Most of the boys are overseas soldiers
and they say it is more work and far
less thrilling than it used to be in
France when they lodged sentries, NJ.
Ps., angry natives and long line of
door yard fertilizer decorations at
night to secure a fresh supply Of hen
fruit.
A car load of poultry was shipped
from the local station today also, and
the incoming mail brought more than
one thousand little chicks for local
raisers.

LAMAR STOCK SHOW
A Big Stock Show Under the Auspices

be Held on April II and 8.

The stockmen of this and adjoining
counties will have one grand oppor-
tunity to display their horses, mules,
dairy and beef cattle, sheep and hogs
at Lamar on Friday and Saturday,
April IA and Is. The show will be
given under the auspices of the La
mar Lions Club and will be in charge
of a committee composed of j. Rus
sell Mayfield, Allyn Cole and Clof
Simpson. The interest already shown
by stockmen all over this section gives
promise of one of the finest exhibits
of stock in all these lines ever dis
played in the state. The fancy stock
is here and only needs the right kind
of effort to get it out, and the com
mittee in charge is hustling for that
arrangements are being secured to
protect the stock in case the weather
should not be as fine as usually ex-
pected in April here, and all exhibitors
can be assured that their stock will
receive the best of care. Superinten-
dents have been appointed for some
departments as follows:
Dairy cattle-Frank Reynolds.
Beef cattle-Hayes Williams.
Hogs-Clof Simpson.
Sheep-Roy Cooper.

BANK STATEMENTS
Show Generally Better Financial Con-
ditions Throughout Country and
Especially in Arkansas
Valley.

The first call for the year 1929 for
was made by the comptroller of cur
rency on March 10th, and the publica-
tions have practically all now been
made. These statements are mes
sage of general optimism to the pub
lie as they show the worst of the de-
flation movement has been passed and
the country is now starting back up
the hill to prosperity. This condition
is especially noticeable in the banks
of Lamar and Prowers county and for
that matter the whole Arkansas val
ley. All the banks show marked in
creases in assets and deposits, while
the matter of rediscounts which was
the drag the outside bank system held
over the local banks has disappeared
The general totals of all hanks show
gains of from ten per cent up and
gives a feeling of hope and cheer to
all. 1t is evident that credits are
loosening up and there soon be plenty
of money for all legitimate enterprises.
The fictitious enterprises will have to
wait n number of years yet before
people will again be gullible enough
to bite at anything with a name and
n fancy prospectus. The price paid
has been n dear one, and new crop
of suckers must grow up before an
other such spree can be financed. The
people of this county have reason to
be thankful that all the ten banks of
Prowers county weathered the storm
without failure. 1t shows that care
full and conservative management have
been the rule and only those who
have gone through series of bank
failures can realize all that we have
escaped.
In this issue of The Register will
be found the statement Of the First
National Bank of Lamar. one of the
strongest institutions of the valley.

MAINE ELECTION
Queer How Quiet Some Very Noisy
People Can Be of a Sudden.

The advocates of the defunct League
of Notions, who have been very noisy
the past six months and through their
control of the United Press associa-
tion have been loudly predicting that
the congressional election in Maine
would show up the national admins
tration as having lost the confidence
of the American people, have shut up
like a shoal of CLAIMS since the election
was held. They filled the district with
speakers and forced the policy of the
administration as the main issue. The
returns showed the people just as
strongly against the old Wilson ideas
OF trying to run the world and let
America go to pot as they were in
1920. The vote was not as large as
in that year but the majority was as
large proportionately for the republi-
can candidate.
