IT,. sham battle wasn't in it,
or was ut enough or something,
as we were informed during the
interim of the armistice celebra-
ton that one Of the Springfield
editors, in discussion over the
very popular topic Of the COM
parative sizes of bnns, got too
near the upper batteries Of q
bellgerant, when one of this auto.
matte batterinR rams caught
him a little south vest of the
right hand corner optic. thus
causing him to lose his upright-
ness and his eye to take on an
unn ltural appearance. After
hearing the story. We buried
home and took q look in our faith
full mirror, and finding no discol.
grafton of the optics and hide
and hair intact, we concluded it
must have been the other feller
that had gotten mixed up in the
bun argument = and apparently
the tanglefoot.

Interesting Notes
OF Armisiice Day

The joke was on Albert in his
stat ement that Maurice Long
lwho was sitting just back of
him and came near falling eff his
stool) had got as far as Cuba,
while Bill Bryan got cold feet
and stopped in Florida = afraid
to get any closer to the bullets.
The facts were that Long and
Bryan were both in Florida when
the war closed.
SSam Holt came out second best
in the fat mans race, but it
wasn't fair. as they ran a bean
pole against him.
When it came to climbing the
creased pole. it took Ring Mas
ter Thompson long time to
get boy to volunteer. and fin
ally one of the boys said you
climb it."
Joe aha James Place fed over
zoo during the day; but may be
Joe stretched that little.
The Lyric theater had the
largest crowd ever at one of the
Lyric shows, and had a good
overflow meeting after the first
round up. 1t was colonial
scene, and true to the times.
Wien one of the boys who fell
in the sham battle woke up IN
the hospital he found he had
lost bunch Of keys and half
dollar; but he can thank his stars
that lie escaped with his lite.
After several Of th.e boys tried
the creased pole. and tailed, Earl
Johnson w~nt to the top and
got tie 81 90.
Grandpa VanorsdeI and F.. M.
Wheeler of Campo were the
only two old soldiers, and
Maurice Long the only one of
the Spanish American war-so
far as they showed up.
DR.. Verify. the Custer tather
of the Two Buttes band, looked
as proud Of his protagees as be
would OF brand new jitney.
Only about two dozen of the
world-war boys were in uniform,
Many OF them could not get away
from home. and no doubt many
ut them had no uniform to wear.
The day was ideal and every
body enjoyed themselves to the,
ful'.
Ihere was not drunk on
he street during the day, which
peaks volumes for the new Or.
Ter OF things in Baca county.

You tell me that law is above free

will die of its own poison, and the

Demogoguery is one of the besetting weak
nesses of our country, and it is indeed very
unlovely vice. But who is to blame for it? We
force our public officials to be either demogogues
or to lose their jobs. We make them realize that
their one chance to continue in office is to make
cheap play as champions of the people," CIV

study of public questions, but to crafty pet
ting of all temporary prejudices and passions. We
oblge them to please strong groups in their home
community in order to insure their reelection.

not statesmen, but politicians. The way to make
men measure up to the highest responsibilities
