Coal Mined from State Land.

When Colorado became q state, un-
der the terms of the Enabling Act one
eighteenth of the land of the state
was granted by the Government for
the maintenance of public schools. The
government, however, reserved such
lands as were known to contain coal.
In many instances lands were not
known to contain coal beds, and patent
passed to the state. Later, coal beds
were discovered upon these lands, and
as result the State of Colorado, for
the benefit of its schools, has owner
ship of very considerable acreage Of
coal lands.
Coal mines are now being operated
on close to 250,000 acres of land with
in the State of Colorado. OF this
amount, only about 5000 acres belong
ing to the State School Fund has been
developed for coal mining, less than
four per cont of the total, the balance,
or ninety-six per cent being owned by
private PARTIES. From state lands
there has been mined, taking statistics
for the years 1915 to 1921 inclusive.
an average of close to 100000 tons of
coal every year. During that same
period there has been mined on all
lands in the State of Colorado an av-
erage of about II 100000 tons of coal
per year.
There has been a general impression
that practically all coal tonnage min
ed within the state came from state
lands. A study of the statistics shows
that this impression has been errone-
Gus, and that only approximately sew
en- per cent comes from state proper
ty the remaining ninety-three per cent

STREET PAVING
North Main Street Will Be Paved and
South Side Prospects lmprov-
ing.

At the regular meeting of the city
aldermen this week a petition repre-
senting the practically unanimous
sentiment of the North Main street
property owners was presented asking
for the formation of paving district
including all that portion of Main
street from the terminus of the paved
county road on the north to the Hud-
dleston corner south of the track and
including the railroad right of way.
The enterprising citizens of this dis
trict have been determined to have a
real city for a long time, and when
it looked as if the south side would
not join in they decided to go it alone.
The petition was received and referred
to the street committee for prompt
action. Encouraged by the success of
these business men the property own
ers of the South Main street section
are now reviving interest in the prop
osition and promise to be able to show
results soon in the way Of district to
include South Main street as far as
the south end OF the library block.
The two propositions that carried
the almost unanimous vote of the pub
lie spirited citizens a few months ago
in the Big Four Campaign were paw
ing Main street and better street
lighting system. The only objection
ever offered to either proposition has
been high taxes, but no citizen has
stopped making needed improvements
on his home or place of business on
account of high taxes. The two
propositions voted are not matters of
public government, but are as neces-
sary and essential improvements to
each owners property as any he has
made. and no difference IL the cost is
collected with taxes should not be con-
sidered ns taxes.
Every citizen OF Lamar with even
an atom Of pride in our city should
strive to see that another spring does
not open up with such n disgraceful
looking site for visitors as that OF
Main street during the most OF the
last month.
Let us pave first! Then we will be
tickled green to light II up so we can
look at Il.

Lack of Gambling Hurts Quality of
Colorado Eggs.

A remark was recently made to
members of the Poultry Department
at the Colorado Agricultural College
that the eggs produced by the Colo
RADIO hens were not of as good quail
ity as the eggs produced by Nebras-
ka and Kansas hens. If there is truth
to this statement, the following condi-
tions are probably some OF the reas-
ons that account for it:
We find that many of the middle
western states have egg Gambling and
marketing laws which are rigidly en-
forced. All eggs are bought Toss
off," or in other words only the good
eggs are paid for and must be can
died whenever resold. Such condi-
tions nave tendency to improve the
quality of eggs marketed as the eggs
of poor quality are headed off at the
beginning.
Colorado has no candling or mar
keting laws. Eggs are bought and
sold Cease count" that is, the bad
1850 HiN bbhbhN anu pdAi dlbHB
with the good. Eggs bought this way
are not of the best quality. as a few
bad eggs in a case affect the grade
Of the whole package. When eggs
are bought case count" the bad ones
instead of being headed off at the be
ginning, as where there are good can
ding laws, are not eliminated until
they reach the larger distributing
points, or even until they reach the
consumer. II can be readily seen that
the average case Of candled Country
run" eggs that are shipped into Colo
RADIO from Kansas or Nebraska should
be Of better quality than an Average
case Of uncandlcd eggs produced by the
Colorado hen.
If it is true that the Colorado egg
is of poorer quality than those pro
duced in Kansas or Nebraska, it is
not the fault Of the Colorado hen, but
is the fault of the methods of pro
ducing and marketing the eggs.-O.

LOVES LAMAR TOO MUCH
Senator J. S. Hasty Has Treasurer
ship Of the Wichita Farm Loan
Bank rendered Him But
Declines.

Through the influence Of U. S. Sen
ator Phipps the treasurership of the
Farm Loan Bank at Wichita, Kansas,
was last week rendered to Senator j.
S. Hasty of Lamar. AS Lamar al
ready has a member of the board of
directors of the bank in F. NJ Wilson,
manager of the ID. A NJ. & P. Co.. the
town seemed to be specially favored
by the Senator.
Although the position carries with
it a good salary it necessitates the
holder living at Wichita and Senator
Hasty has lived too long in Lamar and
become too fond of the old town to
move to any other locality so he just
passed his sincere words of apprecia-
tion up to the board and decided to
remain here and pay himself salary
as manager Of his extensive farming
interests.
The many friends of the Senator are
gald to learn of his decision as they
would hate to have him leave us.

WON STATE CONTEST
Grey Daszynicz of Lamar School Won
First Place in State High School
OratOrical Contest.

There was great rejoicing among the
friends and patrons of the Lamar high
school last Saturday when it was
learned that the Lamar entry in the
state oratorical contest, Grey Daszy-
nicz, had won first place and was
awarded the fine loving cup that goes
to the winner each year.
He took for his subject "The Fifth
Horseman," dealing with labor strikes
rs just a. destructive to the national
welfare as the -Four Horsemen" with
whom we became SO familiar during
the war, and the Grafton he prepared
along this line was one of those ac-
cepted by the state judges as worthy
Of being presented at the contest The
contest took place at the Boulder uni
yersity last Friday evening, and Miss
Watkins of last years high school
faculty and six Lamar students at
Boulder were present to encourage
Grey. Victories like this along the
line of real educational endeavor are
the ones that should be most highly
priced by school and certainly re
fleet credit on the faculty and man
agement of the school as well as hon

COLORADO A WHEAT STATE
Is Rapidly Forging to the Front as
One of the Leaders in Wheat
Production.

Reports of county assessors to the
State Immigration Department show
ed total of l,7S6,000 acres of wheat
grown in Colorado in 1921, which was
the largest acreage ever grown in the
history of the state. Comparison with
records for other states shows that
Colorado last year ranked thirteenth
among the states in acreage devoted
to this crop and fourteenth in total
production. The year was very un-
favorable for wheat production in the
state and the total yield was far below
normal. Under normal conditions the
state should have ranked no lower than
tenth in total production.
The rapid growth of Colorado as a
wheat state is well illustrated by com
parison of these figures with those re-
ported by the census bureau for 1909.
That year Colorado reported 341 900
acres of wheat, or little less than
eight-tenths Of one per cent of the to-
tai acreage for the country. Its rank
among the state at that time was
twenty third. In 1921 Colorado's wheat
acreage was 2.8 per cent Of the total
for the country, and in rank the state
had advanced to thirteenth.
Wheat is now the leading crop grown
in the Centennial State. Reports of
county assessors showed that 1896
per cent of the total acreage cultivat-
to wheat. this being the largest per-
centage devoted to any single crop.
Corn ranked second, with 1859 per
cent. These same reports showed that
an average Of 1886 acres of winter
wheat was grown for every farm re-
ported ne being operated in the state
in 1921, and an average OF 7.23 acres
Of spring wheat, or a total Of 34.18
acres of wheat per farm. The near
est approach to this was made by corn,
which showed total of 2OO9 acres
per farm.
The immense increase in acreage OF
wheat between 1909 and 1921 was due
to the growing popularity Of winter
wheat in the non-irrigated districts Of
the state. OF the 341 900 acres OF
wheat grown in the state in 1909 only
$4,000 acres, or about 37.2 was win
ter wheat. OF the 1,7s6. 900 acres re-
ported in 1921, 1,4Os,26O acres was
winter wheat, or 1884 per cent. About
81 per cent of all wheat grown in the
state in 1909 was irrigated, while in
1921 only 1855 per cent of all wheat
reported was irrigated. OF the winter
wheat reported only 796 per cent was
irrigated.
The acreage OF wheat grown in the
state is increasing steadily each year
and Indications are that Colorado will
advance to about eighth rank among
the states in wheat acreage in few
years.

WILL REMAIN REPUBLICAN
Colorado viii Stick to the Party That
Is Bringing the Nation Back
to Prosperity.

Denver, May 15.-"Prosperous and
enthusiastically Republican"
This was the description of North
eastern Colorado given by George H..
Shaw of Fort Collins, Republican state
chairman, and George A. Crowder of
Cripple Creek, secretary of the Re
publican state central committee, on
their return from the first of series
of pre-campaign tours which will GER
ry them into every county in the
state.
Last weeks trip included visits in
Morgan, Logan, Sedgwick, Phillips,
Yuma and Washington counties, and
meetings in the following towns: Fort
Morgan, Sterling, Julesburg, Holyoke,
Wray, and Akron. Shaw and Crowder
conferred with party leaders thruOut
the territory included in their journey,
and reported them confident that
Northeastern Colorado would be over
whelmingly Republican in the fall cleo
tion.
at is an old saying that when a
man becomes a little prosperous he
joins the Republican party" Shaw
said today. "This sometimes has been
used by opponents as an argument
against the party; and we're willing
to let them go right ahead using il
because we're proud of the fact. The
prosperous man or woman is n Repub-
lican because the Republican party is
the only one that assures continued
prosperity for anyone.
"That is why l feel assured that
Northeastern Colorado is firmly Re
publican, because for the first time in
recent years Northeastern Colorado is
prosperous, and the people feel and
know that this situation is due to the
fact that Republicans are in power"
"Wool that year and half ago
didn't bring enough to pay for the
shearing today is selling for more
than 30 cents a pound; beef and hides
are bringing the farmer a good re-
turn because the Republican party has
refused to let this country be the
dumping ground for foreign products.
Farmers know that Democratic sue
cess means a return to the policy Of a
tariff for revenue only and a perman-
ent slump in the market for agricul-
tural products; and that is one OF the
reasons they are going to vote the
Republican ticket this fall
Enthusiastic meetings were held in
all towns visited by Shaw and Crowd

WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
Colorado Delegation Secure Recogni-
ton That Is of Great Help to
Agriculture Industry of
the State.

Managing Director Eugene Fl. Mey-
ton announces that from May LIST to
3rd last, advances in the sum of $751;
900 were made to Colorado farmers
and livestock men, The State led the
Union in the sum secured from the
Corporation during this time. as well
as during the succeeding three-day
period when s527 900 worth of loans
were made to Colorado citizens. The
State standing next on the list was
Montana, with a total of $134,O00.
1t is evident that this Government
organization is lending much needed
assistance to our citizens.
The securing of this large amount
of assistance for our agricultural in
terests is due in large measure to the
active interest that has been taken
along these lines by Senators Phipps
and Nicholson and Congressman Har-
dy. All are constantly on the job
watching to see that this state gets
all its share at all times, and if there
is any chance to get more than its
share they will be found right on the
Job without any slip whatever. They
have been the hardest workers for the
benefit of the state of Colorado itself
that have ever been sent to tn ma
tional capital. They make little fuss
about II hut are ALWAYS on the look

Up-to-Date Fishing.

The recent heavy rains on the plains
have raised all the rivers and creeks
and had very beneficial effect on all
the storage reservoirs The big res
ervoir of the Chivington system look
ed as if it might have been filled for
the first time, but after a short run
the water pressure became so great
that it broke the intake canal and let
the water spread out all over the sur
rounding plains last Saturday. Word
soon was spread that fine catfish were
grazing all over the high prairies and
parties organized rapidly on Sunday
to go out and rake 'em in. That is
literally what they did. Each man
has a different tale of how he got his
and all sound perfectly legitimate.
Anything goes in a fish story, but
Tripp expects too much OF us when
he claims he caught hundred by just
sprinkling salt on their tails. Lamar
was just about fed up on fish for a
few days. and more than fed up on
fish stories.

NEW MASONIC LODGE
Springfield Lodge u. ID. Starts Out in
Most Encouraging Style.

Tuesday of this week was the day
set for the instituting of the new Ma
sonic lG-gc at Springfield, and there
was a gathering of nearly one hun
dred Masons from Baca county, from
the lodges outside that had previously
held jurisdiction over n portion of the
territory, and from various outside
points.
The degelation from Lamar consist
ed of the following members of the
order: j. X. Doughty, j. A. Carrico,
L. M. Markham, Chas. A. Owen, j. C.

Nevius, Earle Garvin, Francis Steele,
H. X. Hustled and Geo. B. Merrill. A
delegation of about one dozen came
down from Las Animas and about as
many more from Granada were pres
ent for the ceremonies.
Soon after the arrival of the crowd
a fine dinner was served in the base
ment of the NJ. E. church by the ladies
of that organization and was most
highly enjoyed and appreciated by
nearly two hundred Masons and their
ladies. After supper the new lodge
room was thrown open for the inspec-
tion of the crowd until time to open
lodge. The room was handsomely
furnished, making one of the most
of the state. The most of the lodge
furniture is product of the G. II.
Brown Mfg. and Lumber Co. at Lamar
and is a great credit to the artists of
that company. The lodge starts off
with seventeen regular members, sew
enteen petitioners and number of
others who will join as soon as their
credentials can be fixed up. This is
a highly flattering showing and the
list Of petitioners shows all sections
of the county to be taking an active
interest in the new lodge.
The officers installed are:
Leonard C. Elver, Worshipful Mas
ter; z. F. Flint, Senior Warden; Lloyd
Cole, Junior Warden; Earl C. Denney,

welcome they had received from the
citizens of Springfield.
