BOOSTER TRIP
Bunch of Lamar Live Wires Planning
Wise-up Trip Through
Corn Belt.

A number of Lamar's real live-wires
are planning boosting trip through
the corn belt of northern Colorado,
Nebraska, Iowa, and back through
northern Kansas, by auto in order to
wise-up the farmers of that section
to the fact that the ideal corn section
of the United States and the world is
southeastern Colorado. Here in the
land of sunshine and big stock ranches
the corn and stock grow best and work
together best. The stock feeding makes
the corn price better than elsewhere
and the sunshine makes the corn bet
ter. The bunch will take the band and
some of our silver tongued orators and
jazz hand shakers along, and make
the trip one long to be remembered
throughout the four states. The plain
facts about southeastern Colorado
placed before the corn belt farmers
will insure a record breaking influx
of people to gather up these lands
while they can still be purchased at II
reasonable price. The day is not dis
tant when they will bring ten times
what is now being asked for much of
the best land in this territory and he
who misses out now will come later
and pay more.

STILL 1T RAINS
Floods Cause Washouts and Part of
Approach to River Bridge
Is Lost.

The rains of last week have kept up
almost continually all over this section
of the valley. and in places have reach
ed almost the volume of waterspouts.
As a result there has been some dam
age to the roads, and railroads, but
the wonderful help to all classes of
agriculture has so far exceeded any
other features as to make the losses
negligible. Not only has the help to
the farming interests been enormou.
but the floods of the past week in
Clay creek have practically assured
Lamar a full water supply for the
summer, and the situation in this re-
spect had been as alarming as it had
been to the agricultural interests.
The rainfall in Lamar has been suf-
ficient to soak up the ground and put
it in fine shape, but has been slight
compared to that of some points in
the surrounding territory. Clay creek
and Wolf creek floods washed out sec
tions of the railroad as well as the
county road, and tied train service up
for a half day. The Picketwire came
down in full force and raised the Ar
kansas river to a height not seen here
since the time of the big flood. As
a result the piling put in by the coun-
ty as a protection to the north ap-
proach to the bridge went out yester-
day evening, and small section of
the north approach to the bridge went
out also.
The rains covered all this section of
the valley and as result all sections
are now looking forward to bumper
crop, and all classes of citizens are
correspondingly ehated. This last rain
totalled over one inch on the Lamar
townsite and much more in most of
the surrounding territory. The dam
age is not great and can be quickly
repaired.

D-C-D CONVENTION
As Usual the Wettest Wet Spell of the
Year Reduces Size of
Delegation.

Lamar intended to go to Guymon,
Oklahoma, twenty cars strong for the
big D-C-D convention this week, but
as usual ever since the highway as
sociation was first organized the rain
began to fall and then to pour for
several days before the date, making
the roads almost impossible. If the
D-C-D had never accomplished any
thing for its territory its services as
rain maker would have justified
many times its cost. Glen Kirkpat
rick, one of the delegates, agreed that
if he succeeded in reaching Guymon
before the convention was over he
would introduce and advocate the pas
sage of an amendment to the bylaws
providing for holding the general con
ventions quarterly instead of annually
thus insuring a good rainy spell at
least every three months.
The Lamar delegation started out
Tuesday morning with three car loads
in which were X. l.. Christy, NJ. X.
Sunday, j. Russell Mayfield, W. H.
Hall, L. A. Bullard, Glen Kirkpatrick,
DR.. II. A. Grant, and Z. +. Jackson,
secretary of Colorado Springs Cham
ber of Commerce. They were accom-
panied by the Lamar band and also
several car loads of delegates from
Wiley, Eads and Kit Carson.
The original intention of the dele
cation was to reach Guymon by sup
per time, but they had to reroute
through Springfield and Campo and
were so delayed by mud that they
only reached Elkhart late in the even
ing and spent the night there and ex-
pected to make Guymon sometime this
morning. Last year, however, the del
egation did not get beyond the city of
Elkhart, but showed their patriotism
by indulging in the national pastime
for thirty-six hours before returning.
The present delegation will if stranded
prove equally patriotic.
The Wiley delegates and those from
north of there are to offer inducements
for changing the route of the high
way after leaving Lamar through Wi
ley, Eads, Kit Carson and Hugo to
Denver This will be one of the prin-
cipal matters to come before the con-
vention.
Some people try to claim that it is
because the D-C-D conventions are
held in May that rain always accom-
panies it, but they need only to re-
member that the first of these con-
ventions was held in Lamar in the
middle of July, 1918, and there was an
even wetter spell than the present
so just give the old D-C-D the credit
that belongs to it.

Is It Wise?

Justify it. For men parade through public streets in night

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

II oBBING life of friendship
Is like robbing the world
~. Of the sun.
Popularity, If purchased at the
expense Of base condescension to
vice, IL q disgrace to the possess
eor.
What nobler employment than
that Of the man who tnstructs
the rising generation!
There IL nothing more difficult
to find than perfection.
He takes the greatest orna-
ment from friendship who takes
modesty from 1t.
During the whole Of our life
we ought not to depart a nails
breadth from a pure conscience.
Many men recognize nothing
as good unless it is also profit
able.
There can be no true friend
ship that is not founded on vir-
tuous principles.
When a man will not listen to
the truth, even from a friend,
his condition is desperate.
A long course of careful OBJ
servations. conducted for
length of time, brings with it an
incredible accuracy-ef knowledge.
He who has received a kind
ness ought to have it on his
memory, and not the man who
bestowed 1t.
Nothing is so unreasonable and
inconsistent as fortune.
One can never believe that a
knowledge Of future events would
be an advantage to us.
Nobody looks at what IL i'm
mediately before him-we are en-
ployed in gazing at the stars.
In extraordinary events ignor-
ance of their cause produces
establishment.
We must not say that every
mistake is a foolish one.
There should be no end to the
search for truth, other than the
finding it.
What we call pleasure Is the
absence of all pain.
