Harry Wills AS Good

q, ent fights gave him an edge that he
does not boast today, nor never again
will boast. When Smith fought Demp
sey. Smith was a raw novice. Homer
has profited with subsequent expert
ence and seasoning.
Wills came forth from out of til,
stable to meet a better seasoned anG
more experienced Smith than the
Smith who went down before Dempsey
Yet it only took Wills half round
longer to subjugate Smith than it took
Dempsey.
And if Wills had fought Smith Demp
sey fashion last Thursday night il
would not have taken him a round ana
half to turn the trick.
Wills fought in strict accordance l.
the code.
After each knockdown-there were
eight of them-hc returned to the
furthest corner as is called for by Tie
rules and waited there until the n,
len fighter had got 10 his feet.
IF Wills had stood over Smith rs
Dempsey did over Fripo, and dubbed
Homer before Homer got to his fec 81,
how long do you think Smith would
have lasted?
Smith never would have got up tr'I,
the second knockdown.
Wills was not once guilty of holding
did not once hit on the break nor did
he even deign to leap quickly back III
after the break. as is entirely permits
sible under the rules
Those who watched the sportsman
like and clean manner in which Wills
fought Smith the other night canrc-
but help wounder how much longer
Firpo would have lasted with Dempsey
had Dempsey fought Firpo as fairly
and clearly as Wills did Smith

ANENT WILLS HANDS

1t is commonly known that ,when
Wills knocked out Glen johnson y
Madison Square Garden. last winter
Wills broke his left thumb in the first
round and drove back the second
knuckle on his right hand in the thilG
round. The injuries were received ~
cause the referee would not elbow
Wills to hit Johnson about his boiy
and Harry was forced to play foc
the head continually
Some of the critics who were al the
ringside ut the Wills Smith bout pluc.
ed particular stress upon the fact that
Wills punched chiefly to the body and
limited that brittle hands were the reas
ons for Harry's body punching tacl'c>
There is nothing the matter win
Wills hands
He went about the knocking out OF
Smith in an intelligent. systematic
manner weakening and softening him
with body blows and paving the way
for the right-hand uppercut which FIN
ished him.
Like Dempsey, Wills wreaks his
chief punishment about the body
1t was a left to the body with
which Dempsey started Willard CIR
the Slide at Toledo. left to the body
that doubled up Bill Brennan and left
him open to the rabbit punch in Madi-
son Square Garden. left to the body
that figuratively made Fred Fulton
bend right into an accompanying
right-hand smash to the jaw in the Hal
riGor ball yard and ii was cruel lefts
to the body which were just as much
responsible as were the blows to the
jaw for Firpo's defeat at the Pole
Grounds
Where would Bob Fitzsimmons have
been without his solar plexus punch.
or jim Jeffries without 1eft-hand
smashes to the wind?
1t was not brittle hands that made
Wills play for the body against Smith
1t was gray matter under Harry's
kinky konk.
He punched to the jaw when the
opening was there and conditions de
creed it.
OF the eight knockdowns the first
two were scored with rightlran!
punches to the heart the third with Il
right hand uppercut, the fourth witi'
a combination textbook and right cross
the fifth with right uppercut the
sixth with left,jab--this time Smith
virtually went down without being hit
the seventh with right-hand upp5,
cut and the eighth and finishing knock
down with right hand uppercut.
Wills played for the body continual
~ but he scored six of the eight knock
downs with punches to the jaw. That
doesn't look much as if he was favor
ing brittle hands"

DEMPsEY'S ONLY RIVAL.

The WilIs-Smith bout offered addit-

only real rival.
Harry easily and quickly disposed OF

Every one who saw wills in action
against Smith the other night knows
bow long portly Bill Brennan and agcd
Jess Willard would last against Wills.

Lambert Bill Vetoed.

Governor Sweet on Monday vetoed
the Lambert bill for consolidating state
commissions and doing away with doz-
ems of useless employees. 1t was no
surprise for those who know the real
calibre of the states executive. He
made his campaign on this matter as
the chief plank, but because the bill
was passed in form that would not en-
able him to give some of his friends
life jobs on the states payroll he We
toed the measure. II was a chance to
build up a machine to put him in the
senate and not economy for the state
treasury that he was talking for all
during the campaign and since.

BANKS SHOW GAIN
Lamar's Banks Show Steady Gain in
Deposits and Assets.

The call for bank statements was
made this week and shows condition
on April 8. Usually at this period of
the year the banks show losses as the
crops have all been sold and the banks
are advancing money for the coming
crop year. This time, however, the
three Lamar banks all show gains in
both deposits and assets, and the to-
tails for the three almost equal the
highest figures when the four banks
were here. They are larger than those
for the four banks just previous to
the closing up of the Citizens State
Bank. This shows that our city has
regained it's full financial standing
and is evidence that our farmers and
industries are beginning a period OF
real prosperity.

LEGION PROGRAM
April Is and 10 to be Big Events in
History of Walter l.. Bennett
Post American Legion.

The Lamar legion boys are prepar-
ing for two big nights next week when
they give banquet to their ladies and
invited guests on Wednesday evening
and the biggest dance of the season
on Thursday evening, April 10, both
events being at the State Armory.
The banquet will be one of the best
events of the kind ever given in La
mar and there will be as invited
guests the local members of the &. A.
X. and Spanish War veterans and their
ladies', the state commander and ad-
jutant and other officers. The com
mittees of the post and the legion aux
iliary are busy making great prepara-
tions for this event and it promises
to be one of the most delightful BAN
quets in the history of our city.
On Thursday night the armory will
be decorated in gala style for the big
gest and best dance in the history of
our city. The Matt Jerman orchestra
of Pueblo, which made itself popular
with all the dancing enthusiasts of
our city last week will be here to fur
nish music for the occasion. Already
responses coming in from the outside
insure large attendance of visitors,
and the seat sale at home is a record
breaker. The boys are sparing neither
time nor expense to make this the
great social event in Lanlar's life and
they are meeting with wonderful sue
cess.
A special feature of the evening will
be the first program on the big radio
set now being installed by the Nation
al Guard companies at Lamar This
radio set is the finest in this part of
the state and it is to raise funds to
assist the Guard in the cost of install
lation that the Legion is giving the
dance.

gCHOOL ELECTIuTN
Monday, May 7th, Is Lamar's School
Election Date and Last Chance to
Run for Office for Fifteen
Months.

The election for board of directors
for School Dist. No. 14-the Lamar
district-will be held on Monday. May
7th. This will be the last chance am
bilious Lamarites will have to run for
office until the primary election in
September, 1924, and all such should
not allow this opportunity to slip
away from them. There are two
places on the board to be filled at this
time. The six year term for which
Alfred Todd was elected expires and
there will be a six year term to be
filled. Postmaster l.. NJ. Markham
had to resign to comply with the post
office requirements, and as there are
two years of his term yet to run a
director for a two year term will be
to elect also. The voting will be done
at the Central school building from 7
a. m. to 7 p. m. of that day. All can
didates desiring to run should secure
petitions from Secretary l.. NJ. Mark
ham at once, as nominations must be
filled out on official blanks and have
at least fifty qualified electors to sign
them.
The office of school director is one
of the most important of all public
positions as education is mainstay Of
our governmental system and only by
having liberal minded and progressive
men in charge can it be a success.
Extravaganza should be frowned upon,
but economy should not be carried to
the point of injuring either the secur-
ing of high class teachers or neces-
sary equipment to carry on their work
in the most approved style.

ROAD PAVING
Commissioners Let Contract to II. II.
Mcdowell for Repairing Cement
Road.

The cement paving on the road north
of Lamar from the north end of Main
street to the turn north of the river
bridge will soon be repaired and the
gaps left by the ravages of the flood
in June, 1921, will be thing of the
past. At their meeting last week the
county commissioners opened bids for
the repairs of this road estimated to
require $50 square yards of cement
paving. H. H. Mcdowell, whose bid
of 1925 per square yard was the low
est of all, was awarded the contract
and will begin work at once. This
will be a work much appreciated by
our citizens.

BEET GROWERS RECEIVE $4,000
Second Payment on 1922 Scale
Contracts.

Checks amounting to 100000 were
mailed out Tuesday night to all
growers in the Arkansas Valley who
contracted last years crop with the
American Beet Sugar company on a
sliding scale contract. This is the
second additional payment made by
this company since the close of last
seasons campaign.
On March /, $4,000 was sent to
the growers on 6h cent sugar mar
ket. This second payment will bring
it to 3-4 cents. Additional payments
are to follow as rapidly as the COM
pany disposes of the sugar crop, Off
cials announce.
The American Beet Sugar company
has about II 900 acres of beets con-
tracted for their 1923 sugar making
campaign and expect to receive sew
eral thousand more acres before the
planting begins. Their acreage is
greater now than it was at this time
last year.
The local company is backing the
movement to get the farmers set
tied and get them to growing stan
dard crops as before the war. They
advocate raising a certain acreage Of
corn, alfalfa, beets and other crops,
realizing that prosperous Arkansas
Valley will mean prosperity for the
company as we'll.
The Holly Sugar corporation at
Swink and the National Sugar COM
pany at Sugar City will make SINH
lar payments in the near future

City Election.

Election passed off very quietly.
Only SO, one voter in five, voted.
There was only the one ticket in the
field and all knew the election of these
candidates was a foregone conclusion.
However, the voting habit is a good
one and ought never be neglected.
There were only a few scattering
votes. F. w. Smith, C. E. Christopher
and Robert King, the judges declared
the following elected; G. W. Smeltzer
mayor, and the following trustees for
two years: A. B. Conklin, c. E. Hask-

GRANADA CONTRACTS
Drainage District Directors Let Con-
tract for Most of the Work on
New Drainage System.

The board of directors of the Gra-
NADIA Drainage District met on Mon
day afternoon at their office in the
Markham building in Lamar to open
bids for the sale of the bonds and the
work of the drainage system. The
.eys, Hillyer and Kinkaid met with
them. There was some lively bidding.
On the sale of the bonds there were
ten bidders and the directors were
able to make a very satisfactory deal
by which they got the best terms on
payments yet given a drainage dis
trict and a price also near the top
l97.65-a little under the Holly price
but better than most of the other dis
tricts have been getting. Bosworth-
Chanute G. Co. of Denver were the
successful bidders and are new buyers
of drainage district bonds. This shows
how these securities are gaining in
favor with the careful money invest
ors.
Ol llt tASdNdliOll WOIh thtIt NtIe
eleven bidders and the district was
able to secure the low figure of 1012
cents per yard for this work. The
successful bidders were p. l.. Ander-
son of Ordway, Colorado, and o. &.
Vinger of California. On the work
of constructing the various bridges,
etc H. H Mcdowell of Lamar was
the lowest bidder and got the contract.
These contracts make the work com
plete except for two bridges over the
State highway, for which plans have
not yet been prepared. All the mem
bers of the board of directors were
present, f. H. Gerecke of Rocky Ford,
II. NJ. Noble of Granada, and j. o.
Stream of Lamar, and were highly
satisfied with the outcome of the bids
as it insures ii reasonable Sust price

DISTRICT COURT DOCKET
One Hundred and Ninety seven Cases
Make Record for Prowers
County.

The April term of the district court
for the county of Prowers will begin
next Tuesday, April IT, 1928, at the
court house in Lamar, and at this
time there is no guessing, as to how
long 1t will last, as the docket lust
out is the longest ever placed before
the court for disposal There are 17s
clvil and 10 criminal cases already ON
the docket and by the time court opens
it will probably pass the two hundred
mark for the first time in the eoun-
ty's history.
One Of the biggest items in making
up this big docket and one in which
the public has considerable interest is
a block of about twenty cases in which
the state bank commissioner, Grant
McFerson is trying to collect on pa
per held by defunct banks, principal
ly the paper held by the Citizens State
Bank when it closed its doors. Gordon
* Gordon represent the bank commits
sioner in all these cases. The nineteen
criminal cases represent all phases of
crime-even including the pugnacious
Son of Sarah" The docket after
breaking all other records winds up
with a national record, an editor
our old friend L. NJ. Zalinger-suing
the town of Holly for money. That
sure will be a real thriller.
The jury chosen for the term is as
follows: Robert Fox, II. E. Rinehart,
A. b. Allen, Thomas Stickler and C.
j. Northrupp of Lamar; B. E. Sterrett,
W. A. Decker, Howard Coates and F.

D.C.D DISTRICT CONVENTION
Lamar Entertains Many Boosters for
the Big Southern Highway.

The district convention for the Colo
RADIO division of the D-C-D Highway
was held in Lamar on Tuesday even
ing and there were several delegations
here from the south, but from the
Colorado division only Two Buttes had
any considerable representation. Sec
retary McNeill of the Colorado divis-
ion from La Junta was the only one
from west of Lamar. The Lamar peo-
pie turned out well and manifested
much interest in the convention. l..
NJ. Markham was made the chairman
of the meeting and called on repre-
sentatives of the various sections for
talks, and all were interesting and
made it clear that the people to the
south of us were enthusiastic as ever
over the highway and thousands of
dollars were being spent to improve
it. All the speakers complimented the
work being done on the highway in
Prowers county and said it was the
best part of the road. They also were
highly complimentary of the work
Baca county is doing. The speakers
were l.. P. Loomis, editor of the Can
adian Record; j. B. Hisey of Guymon,
county agriculturist of Texas county;
b. l.. Jewell, superintendent of the
Elkhart schools; ]. f. Stephens, judge
of the county court at Canadian; j. X.
Gear, president of the Elkhart chamb-
er of commerce; N. Conner Jones,
cashier of the Two Buttes bank; and
General Manager w. A. Palmer of the
D-C-D. The latter made an interest
ing statement of the work on the road
and increasing travel, and commented
on the lack of interest along the route
west of Lamar, and bringing out the
fact that it might be necessary if the
support did not increase to reroute the
highway from Lamar to Denver
through the northern towns. He was
followed by Secretary McNeill who
explained how all endeavors to arouse
interest had failed in the west section
and giving some of the causes.
At the close of the addresses officers
we're elected for the ensuing year for
this division as follows: N. Conner
Jones, president; A. C. Gordon, vice
president; j. Russell Mayfield, secre-
tary. The Guymon delegation extend
ed a very hearty invitation to all our
citizens to attend the annual highway
convention there May 24-26. Especial
ly did they ask the men who attended
the first meeting in Canadian in 1916
to be with them.
The delegation from the south were
as follows:
