led to an early beginning of ex-
ports. This season the early
apples were less abundant and
were mostly sold in domestic
Markets, but the large crop in
the North West provided an early
surplus of boxed apples for ex-

MAIN STREET
Lamar Will Soon Have Real Main
Street.-Just Now 1t Is a DIFF
ferent Story.

Lamar's business section is all torn
up this week and one going across the
street or into the next block hardly
knows which way to turn. Notwith-
standing this and the fact that it will
last for some time the people are hap
py over the fact, for at last they real
ize that Camel Boulevard is to be a
thing of the past. A large force of
men began last Saturday to work on
the excavation for the new storm sew
er and the big piping is rapidly being
laid in place. Another large force is
at work tearing up and hauling off the
Did cement crossings on Main street
and taken altogether it makes a busy
scene and causes much discussion
among users of the thoroughfare as
to whether it is now rougher or
Smoother than it was. The Opinions
seem to be about fifty-fifty.
The company and its subcontractors
are all putting on large forces of men
and promises to push the work just
as rapidly as it can be done. Lamar
has waited so long that it is in hur-
ry now. Supt. ]. f. Todd has his
plans for fine white way we'll in
hand and the material ready so that
he can keep abreast of the paving
workers and will be found ready to
light the street when it is opened for
traffic.

The high school auditorium was fill
ed last Friday night with patrons of
the Lamar schools who turned out to
see the play given by members of this
years junior class Of the high school.
''The Arrival of Kitty" the play Sc
lected by the class, was a very enjoy
able comedy, and well suited to the
talents OF the students selected for the
various parts. Miss Dickover, the di-
rector, had carefully trained them for
the occasion and it was the unanimous
opinion Of the audience that she had
done her work we'll, and that the mem
bers of the cast displayed unusual abil-
ity in their parts. The whole affair
was well managed and well perform
ed and helped TO create added interest
in the work of the schools. The cast
Of characters in the order of their ap-
pearance was as follows:
Ting, a bell boy, Bennie Tucker.
Sam, colored porter, Alden Beavers.

HOSPITAL QUESTION
Proposed New Hospital for Lamar
Under Consideration.

The hospital committee appointed
by the public meeting some time ago
consisting of j. V. Sayler, f. w. Marx,
F. H. Kelsey, j. Russell Mayfield, w.
j. Johnston and DR.. j. S. Hasty met
with a number of the doctors of the
city on Monday and carefully went
over plans that have been worked out
for a new hospital for the city. The
work of remodelling the old Friend
Sanitorium has been going on for some
time and it is expected that it will
soon be ready for occupancy, and the
committee is working on plans that
will secure harmonious and united
action in support of it. The need of
fully equipped hospital has been too
often demonstrated here to need any
argument at all, for most of our citi-
zens have at one time or another come
in contact with the great work of the
present hospital-smalI as it is and
handicapped by lack of needed equip
ment-and realize that the lives saw
ed and suffering patients that have
been efficiently cared for have been of
wonderful relief to hundreds in the
territory within many miles of La
mar. The work carried Oh for num-
ber Of years by the board of women
directors and taken over two years
ago by the present board has been a
labor for the good of the community
without any reward except the know
ledge of the suffering alleviated for
others. The present board, especially
Mr.. c. X. Strain, the president, and
Mr.. +. NJ. Wilson, secretary, have Civ
en- much time and money to the work
of keeping the institution on its feet,
and if an adequate hospital with suf-
ficient financial backing to insure its
continuous existence can be provided
it will no doubt be great relief to
them.
All citizens hope the plans of the
committee can be realized and the new
organization completed. 1t is planned
to have about fifty rooms in che new
hospital and all citizens or organiza-
tions in the town or county chat wish
to help in the equipment or rooms will
find welcome at the hands of the
organizers.

EFFICIENCY IN CITY BUSINESS
SUBJECT FOR MEETING
Colorado City Officials to Gather at
State University to Discuss Mu-

Form State League.

Boulder, Colo, April 23.-officials
from many Colorado cities will meet
at the University of Colorado here
April 26, 27, and 2S to discuss effic-
iency methods in city management.
Fourteen leading cities have already

tails of city government, the appli-
cation of business efficiency to city
business, the experience of Colorado

tices will be discussed by leading au-
thorities and by Colorado city officials

certain phases of the subject.
Denver, Pueblo, Trinidad, Boulder,
Grand Junction, Montrose, Durango,
Fort Morgan, Canon City, Delta, Fort
Collins, Longmont, and Walsenburg

other states and there is considerable
interest in the proposal here in Colo
RADIO.

mental Research of the University Ex-
tension Division, of which DIR. Don C.
Sewers, well-known municipal authori-
ty, is the head, is arranging for the
conference. All municipal officials, in

EX-BANKER ARRESTED
Charles Maxwell, Former Vice-Presi-
dent of Citizens State Bank Ar
rested and Will be Tried at
November Term of
District Court.

As a result of the Investigations
zens State Bank by the State Bank
Commissioners office experts, Deputy
Commissioner R. l.. Ritchey last Fri
day swore out warrants for the ar
rest of Charles Maxwell, vice-presi-
dent, and during the last months of
its existence acting head of the Citi-
zens State Bank. Mr.. Maxwell was
arrested in California at Los Angeles
where he has been living for some
months, but came to Lamar in COM
pany with C. Frost Liggett without
any officer of the law accompanying
him. He arrived on Tuesday morning,
and appeared before Judge Hollenbeck
in the district court in the afternoon
and was arraigned on five informa-
tions sworn out by Mr.. Ritchey and
filed in court by District Attorney j.
w. Hawley. Mr.. Maxwell gave bond
in the sum of S25 200, or five thous-
and on each count, for his appearance
at the November term of the district
court here. C. F. Liggett, who ac-
companied Mr.. Maxwell from Cali
fornia, and a number of local relatives
and friends made up the bond and Mr..
Maxwell returned to Los Angeles on
this mornings train.
The counts in the information filed
grew out of certain transactions of the
bank, one of which was the receiving
of money on deposit after the officers
knew the bank was bound to close its
doors. The failure of the bank is very
complete and there is little hope of
the creditors getting any large part
of their money refunded, but now that
the matter is before the courts it will
be settled in time as to whether the
transactions were just poor business
methods or criminal. Although the
failure occurred eleven months ago only
one dividend has been paid the de-
positors and that for only ten per
cent. The general opinion prevails
that the future dividends will be small
er and far between, so some action
on the part of the Bank Commissioner
has been expected for some time.

GETTING A LITTLE
The Past Week Has Been the Best
Since Long Drouth Started.

The past seven days would not or
dinarily in the past twenty years have
been considered a very wet one in La
mar, and yet it has been one of
the best we have had in the past
twenty months since the bad drouth
started in the late summer of 1921.
Last Friday between rain and snow
Lamar enjoyed fall of moisture last
ing nearly all morning and again this
afternoon it came down in sheets for
quite a while. 1t was a sight that
stopped all work in the city as every
body had to renew acquaintance with
rain. 1t was not million dollar one
by several ciphers but it encouraged
people to think that what has happen
ed can happen and we are ready to
expect more of it from now on.

WANTS NEW DISTRICT
La Junta Industrial Association Wants
to Organize Valley in Water
District to Pipe Mountain
Water Here.

As all kinds of districts, and espec-
tally their evidences of indebtedness
in the form of gilt edge bonds, are
very popular these days, all new
schemes looking to their organization
and issue are of great interest. The
latest is circular letter to the com
mercial organizations of the valley
got out and backed by the La Juuta
Industrial Association for the purpose
or organizing a water district that
will include all the towns in the Ar
kansas valley in Colorado and bring
cold mountain water to all through a
system of pipes. Pure snow water
fresh from the top of the Rockies is
hard to beat-that is as water goes
but it is rawther cold for . bawth
and hasn't kick enough to supplant
alkali water for drinking purposes.
The engineering possibilities of the
scheme may or may not be feasible
but it certainly would be desirable for
most of the Arkansas valley if a sup
ply of pure water could be secured at
a price not prohibitive. The possible
cost will have to be the first thing
known to our people before any en-
thusiasm is created

AMERICAN LEGION DANCE
The Armory Last Thursday Was
Scene of One of the Biggest
Dances in History of
Valley.

The capacity of the big state armory
at Lamar as a dance pavilion was test
ed to its fullest extent last Thursday
evening when the American Legion
dance to raise funds to install the
radio set of the local National Guard
companies was held there. 1t was one
Of the biggest and at the same time
jolliest crowds ever assembled for a
dance in the valley and they crowded
the floor for each number all through
the evening. The galleries were also
crowded, and there was little room
where any more couples could have
been crowded in. The big hall was
beautifully decorated for the occasion,
and the fine music of the Matt Jerman
orchestra of Pueblo was a special fea-
ture appreciated by all the dancers.
Refreshments were served during the
evening and everything possible done
to make the crowd welcome and have
good time. The efforts were success
full not only in that respect but as a
financial affair also. The money net
ted will be amply sufficient for the
purpose of installing the set.
