Soy Beans and Corn Are
Well Balanced Hog Feed

Some ask why soy beans and corn
make economical gains on swine. The
reason is that they are well-bal-
anced ration, soy beans showing high
analysis in the nutrients In which corn
is deficient. For example. soy beans
have more than four times as much
digestible crude protein as corn, while
corn has more than 2h times as much
digestible carbohydrates as soy beans.
In other words, one Of these feeds In
strong where the other Is weak and
vice versa.

Immense Loss Caused by

Foresters and entomologists of the

by insect attacks upon living trees
and crude, finished, and utilized for

annually. A recent report touching
upon this and other forestry subjects
declares that these vast losses clearly
emphasize the need for educational

NOW is THE TIME
Building Prices Going Up All Over the
Country and Demand for Houses
Increasing.

The era of general prosperity now
opening is already being felt in gen
eral advance in prices-and no place
is this being felt more promptly than
in the building trade. There is re-
cognized shortage of housing all over
the country and this with easier mo-
ney rates is causing a rapid increase
in prices in this industry.
Lamar is still in need of houses and
there will be many built in the coming
two years, and the sooner the contract
is let the better price you will get, as
the contractors will soon be feeling
the effects of raises in the price of
both material and wages. This has
already caused a very material ad-
vance in building prices in the east
and will soon be felt here. There are
a number of the progressive Lamar
firms taking space in The Register
this week to inform you of facts re-
garding your new building OF improve
ments on the old one, and you should
read carefully the page entitled Build
Now and get in the game for the
spring season. Building or buying a
home now is big money-saving prop
osition for all in need of homes.

1000 SHRINERS' AUTOS TO
PASS THROUGH LAMAR
National Old Trails Road to be Used
Practically all the Way From
California to Washington.

A motor caravan, with more than
one thousand cars, will leave San
Francisco and Los Angeles, in May
and according to plans now being ar
ranged, will pass through Lamar soon
after the middle of that month on its
way to Washington, d. c. for the
Shrine imperial council, which opens
there on June 4th.
The caravan will be augmented
from various points before it reaches
Lamar and from this place to the cap
ital city. In Washington the motor
travellers, together with other Shriners
who have come by motor from other
parts of the country, will be welcom-
ed by President Harding.
The National Old Trails road will
be used practically all the way from
Los Angeles to Washington, accord
to word received here.
Capt. Bernard Mcmahon, director of
the caravan, expects to go over the
route within a short time, and in a
statement recently made he said that
"the most historical as well as the
most practical route has been chosen.
The Shriners will study points of in
terest as they travel across the coun-
try and the movement of the caravan
will be filmed by the American High
way Educational bureau for the pur-
pose of stimulating passenger travel
on public roads and the study of
American history by motor"

PAVING BONDS BRING PREMIUM
City Council Gets Good Figure for
Bond of Paving District
No. One.

At the meeting of the city alder
men on Monday evening there were
present number of representatives
of bond buying houses, who had been
invited here to bid on the bonds of
the new paving district. The alder
men were somewhat surprised by the
eagnerness of the various houses to
secure these fine securities and decid-
ed to give all a chance to bid as high
as they pleased. This resulted in a
spirited contest in which the firm of
Wilcox e. Company of Denver, repre-
sented by Hon. w. b. Gordon, was the
winner. Their bid was for the entire
issue Of paving bonds drawing 5Ia per
cent interest, for which they agreed
to pay a premium of 88 cents on the
hundred dollars. 1t has been long
time since the market for city bonds
was so favorable that a 51a per cent
bond would bring a premium and this
price proves not only that the money
markets are rapidly becoming more
easy, but also that Lamar's credit is
gilt-edged.
The aldermen also opened the bids
for the poles and other materials for
the new white way for Lamar. After
some consideration they decided that
they would postpone the consideration
of these bids until Wednesday evening,
when it will be definitely decided what
character of material will be used.
Next Monday evening the bids for the
various kinds of paving will be open
ed and it is likely that it will be de-
cided at that time just what kind of
paving Lamar will adopt.

YEAR ONE IN LAMAR
History From the March, 1887 Issues

The contract was let for Lamar's
first brick block. 1t was 80 70 feet,
two stories, with three store rooms on

CITIZENS PARTY PLATFORM

The present city election is of vital
importance to all citizens and taxpay-
ers.
The city government Of Lamar at
the present rate of revenue from taxes,
light and water plants, and the pro-
posed public improvements will in the
next two years have an amount ex-
ceeding a half million dollars to be ex-
pended. In such a large sum of ex-
penditures there is no question but a
policy of strict economy and thorough
business government can save an
amount sufficient to make a material
reduction in both the taxes and light
bills of our citizens.
All voters should, therefore, make it
a personal matter to vote for the per-
sons having wide experience in finan-
cial and business matters, if value re-
ceived, is to be obtained for this mo-
ney.
To this policy the undersigned can
didates for mayor and aldermen on the
Citizens Ticket pledge themselves most
heartily and promise there will be a
reduction in both taxes and light rates
if they are elected. We furthermore
pledge ourselves to a strict enforce
ment of all laws and ordinances.
