SETTLED WEATHER 4 ..E.@.s.,
.e5I Fla. IA 81 H. HAS ARRIVED

The rainy spell which has delayed
threshing and fall work for about two
weeks, is now over and the weather
appears to be settled again. Farmers
in this locality are now busy putting
the finishing touches on threshing op-
erations and are speeding the pillow all
they can. Grain that was! well shock
ed has not been seriously damaged by
the wet weather, it is claimed, but
grain that was slovenly shocked, or
not shocked at all, may lose a grade
or. two, thus making the low price
that the farmer receives for his grain
still lower. 4. Ss

BASEBALL SCHEDULE
Lamar Team VIII Play Alternate Sun
days at Home Throughout June
and July.

Manager Geo II. Russell of the La
mar ball team announced that the
team will play at Wiley on next Sun
day, June 18th, and the following Sun
day at Lamar Following this the
team will play each alternate Sunday
at home ell through July. The team
is playing good ball and deserves the
encouragement of the citizens and
fans.
The game last Sunday with McClave
was a good one and resulted in vic
tory for the home team by n score of
9 to a. Hellbeck pitched 4 good game
for Lamar. The McClave team is a
strong one and has been playing good
ball all season. One of the remark
able features of the game was the
marvellous comeback of Slim Hilton,
who used to play with the Lamar team
before the war-we forget whether it
was World war or Spanish-American
As one friend put it he was weak in
the field, at the bat could not see the
ball. and could not run bases a-tall,
but outside of that playei perfectly
grand baseball. Slim said next day
that he felt like he might be getting
old, and might have TO fall back on
job with the Denver Western League
team.

REPLACING COTTON TREES
Effort Being Made by City Govern
ment to Replace Cotton Bearing
Trees With Fine Shade
Varieties.

The city council has passed a res
olution to make survey of the city
in the interest of beautifying and i'm
proving conditions. The officers max
ing the survey are marking all cotton
bearing cottonwood trees and the city
officials when it is completed will be-
gin an active campaign to induce the
citizens TO cut the trees themselves or
let the city cut them and fine large
elm and other high grade shade trees
will be given by the city to replace
those cut down. This is step in the
right direction and is bound to result
in big improvement to our city streets
in time. Many cities of the state are
passing ordinances compelling the
property owners to get rid of the cot
ton bearing trees, but the council here
is taking the better method of doing
the work gradually so as not to work
a hardship ON anyone by destroying
all their shade at once. Large shade
trees such as the city is offering to re-
place the old ones will grow rapidly
and soon make far superior shade to
the cottonwoods, and will be much
more lasting as well as more beauti-
full tree. All citizens should carefully
note the marks on the trees and where
they can be replaced without hardship
to commence the work in time to be-
gin replacement this fall.

Plain Horse Sense

Better than statistics about build
ing booms, foreign trade, railroad ex-
pansion, is this cheering note, that at
last part of our people are getting
back 20 sound principles and have
ceased trying to borrow themselves
r.ch. No amount of specials about
prosperity being just around the cor
ner, with hints about the country being
on the eve of great industrial activity
is worth a lire in comparison 70 the
fact that the people have gotten over
the Jug os borrowing tnst27G of earn
ing and Swing money.
1t would seem that the people are
getting tack Gay by day and month
BY month to this better condition, for
after all the American people are the
most adaptable people in the world,
and correspondents from different sec
tions agree that the outlook is better,
and there is a more cheerful tone that
was lacking a short time ago. The
most hopeful si~n Of return to nor
NAL conditions is the fact that demand
for money has not been so keen lately.
The farmer has come to realize that
he can pay his living expenses out of
the returns from his COWS, chickens,
and hogs, instead of borrowing money
from the banks.-Business Digest,

What Became OF The Profits Made
By The Stars And Stripes" During
The World War Period?

Chica 20, June 10-Students of the
Medill School of journalism of North
western University were started by
charges made in a lecture by Richard
H. Waldo, publisher of a well known
magazine. Mr.. Waldo was one of the
editors of "The Stars and Stripes"
during the World war He was also
one of the delivery boys in the front
trenches under fire. Mr.. Waldo in the
course of /: lecture charged that $780,
900 francs of profit which the soldiers
newspaper made during the war have
disappeared and he insists there
should be an investigation as to what
has become of them.
"All that money" said Mr.. Waldo,
sis lost to view. Meme of us who edit
ed the paper is able to get any trace
of il. 1t is supposed to be impounded
in Washington. These 2,500,000 francs
were good honest 2O-cent francs, for
when we turned in the papers profits
the rate of exchange was normal. We
made so much money because we had
no payroll and no free list except the
wounded iE the hospitalG. We had
hoped the money might be the basis
of great educational fund for wa
orphans. Even in these times it is a
noble sum. Secretary Baker was then
going to do something about it. but
that is a. far as he got"

WARM WEATHER
Months for Continu Gus Hot
Spell.

Lamar people, many of whom had
been complaining of the backward
spring, have got beautifully over any
idea Of that kind the past week. With
the thermometer hitting on high right
along every day, and very little breeze
stirring and no rain, even the coolest
blooded chap can get just as warm as
he desires. Still school teacher just
from Phoenix, Arizona, came down
street the other day when the ther-
mometer was 1902 in the shade with
winter cloak on and complaining
that it was awfully chilly here.
1t has been above 100 every day the
past week and on last Friday reached
its highest point for a great many
moons, log in the shade of the court
house trees. The past two days there
has been considerable wind blowing
and all hope it will soon produce the
much needed rainfall

BANK REORGANIZATION
Plans Well Under Way for New Or
ganizatiOn to Take Over Busi-
ness and Pay the Deposit
Ors Gradually.

The new company being organized
to take over the business of the Citi-
zens State Bank is announced to be
rapidly nearing completion of its
plans. 1t is to have 100000 capital
stock with $4,000 surplus, and all
but a few thousand dollars of the stock
has already been subscribed by busi-
ness men of the city, it is reported.
If the plans mature as is now expect
ed it will be a strong institution and
have list of leading citizens back of
it. The plans have reached a point
where the depositor3 are being asked
to sign an agreement that in case the
bank is rcorganized either under its
present name or a new name they
will accept in lieu of their old deposit
accounts a settlement on the follow
ing basis which means full par for
all accounts: 20 per cent of deposit
in open checking account; and three
time deposit slips drawing four psr
cent interest for balance, on the basis
of 20 per cent in six months, 80 per
cent in twelve months and 80 per cent
in eighteen months.
The above if arranged in manner
acceptable TO the state bank commits
sioner will soon place the bank ON its
feet again as one of the working in
stitutions Of our city, and will be of
great benefit to the depositors as 1t
will insure them their full deposits in
time. On the other hand If liquidation
should he forced the heavy expense Of
the same nearly always results ir ser
ious loss to the depositors even though
the bank may have assets that should
pay out all its deposits. The many
friends OF the bank and its stockhold-
ers hope there will be TO hitch in the
plans and that this valuable institu-
tion may soon be open again.

DITCH SUIT TAKES UP FOUR
DAYS TINE
Fl. Lyon-Amity Case Heard by Judge
McChesney Here Last Week.
Case was Hard Fought.

The Fort Lyon-Amity irrigation
suit which was heard by Judge Nc
Chesney in the district court here
the past week occupied four days time
and brought to the city many attor-
neys, irrigation experts and stock
holders ir the bitches affected. Attor-
ney j. G. Rogers looked after the
Amity side Of the case and H. L.
Lubers, the Fort Lyon interests. The
early history of both bitches was
thoroughly reviewed and evidence
was given by some Of the old timers
who were on the job when the bitches
were being constructed.
After hearing the voluminous mass
of evidence and law quoted the aver
age layman would hardly hazard
kuess as to the outcome of the suit
in which the Fort Lyon is seeking to
recover certain amount Of water
which the Amity now claims under
prior court decree. While both sides
are hoping for a complete victory 1t
is not impossible that the water may
be divided between them. In the
meantime Judge McChesney's decis-
ion is anxiously awaited by the ditch
officials as well as the many stock
holders of the two companies.-Bent

CROP PROSPECTS
First Crop of Alfalfa Largest for Fif-
teen Years and All Mills Run
ing Overtime.

The first cutting of alfalfa this sea-
son has proved the heaviest ever grown
here in the past fifteen years. and is
also the highest class. As result the
various meal mills all over the coun-
ty are all running and most Of them
on day and night shifts. The crop
is to be big item in Prowers county's
prosperity this year. The wheat har
vest will soon be under way also and
again a bumper crop is in prospect.
Especially is this true under the irri-
cation systems. There are a number
of fields where best judges freely pre-
dict seventy bushels per acre crop.
The dry land wheat is still in fine
condition but a continuation Of the
present weather conditions for any
length OF time will mean a consider
able curtailment Of the crop. Most
Of the crops have been a little back
ward owing to the late spring, but
everything is coming along fine since
warm weather set In.
