Old Spain is just now being swept
by a wave Of enthusiasm for all kinds
Of athletic sports. Football, espeei-
ally, seems to have appealed 70 the
young bloods Of Spain and many Of
them are forsaking the lure Of the
bullfghts for the gridiron sport. The
tendency in young Spain is for par
ticipation rather than playing the
passive role Of spectator.

FINE RECORD
Lamar T.. U. Force Makes Splendid
Showing on State Mailing
Examination.

The examinations made recently of
the clerks III the various postoffices OF
the state on the routing of mails shows
the high state of efficiency which has
been attained by tire Lamar force.
These examinations are held once a
year and require an accurate know
ledge Of all the routes of the state to
make creditable showing, and Post
master l.. NJ Markham is feeling very
jubilant over The showing made by
tin clerks in his office. There werr
s"ven taking The examination and four
Of these scored absolutely perfect.
when there were only thirty perfect
scores in the entire state examination.
The bullseye men were Ed Leigh, OF
ii Williams, II. NJ Steward and John
Hiigel. The other three members of
the Lamar force scored ore missed
card each giving them the very high
average of 1916 each. They were H.
r. Smith, c. p. Childress and Raymond
Thorpe. The final result gave Lamar
second place in the state examination,
cnly the Glenwood Springs office beat
ing them. The nearest approach to
this record in this section of the stat.

WINNING FIFTY-FIFTY
Amity and Fort Lyon Canals Get Even
Break in Supreme Court.

In the matter of litigation of the
;.arious long standing disputes be-
tween the Fort Lyon Canal Co. and
the A. V. S. u. & l. l.. Co., owners of
the Amity canal, it looks like fifty
fifty break and really shows that the
old time Lamar justice of the peace
whose idea Of fairness was to decide
one time for one side and next time for
the other was very nearly like the
higher courts after all. Two weeks
ago the Anity won in the district
court its water priority trouble with
the Fort Lyon getting decision
awarding its five hundred feet decree
ahead of the 172 feet which the Fort
Lyon claimed ahead of ii. Monday in
the supreme court there was handed
down decision sustaining the decis-
ion OF Judge McChesney in refusing
to the Amity the right to name di-
rector of The Fort Lyon Canal Co,
under the agreement signed few
years ago with the majority of the
stockholders of the Fort Lyon as one
of the considerations in settling up
their financial differences. This right
was granted for several years to the
A. V. S. b. & |. L. Co., and then two
years ago voted down by the stock
holders annual meeting of the Fort
Lyon Canal Co.. which refused to con-
slider the name proposed by the form
er company at all. The companies
have now been in almost constant lit
igation for quarter of a century, and
it is hoped that few more decisions
viii clean the slate.

Lamar has been seeing just as many
day stars as any otker section Of the
country the past week, aad knots Of
people have been gathered on every
corner watching it. The editor of the
Register has not as yet been able to
see it, but lots of oul friends have in
sisted it was right up there. and we
know they have seen it. 1t is said
that it takes moonshine to make the
stars shine, and as we have cot been

NEW STATE GOVERNMENT
Governor Sweet Takes Charge and
Other Changes Made.

The opening of the new year marks
quite a few changes in the Colorado
state government Tie Legislature
was organized last week with the re
publicans in charge in both branches.
The vote of the election was canvassed
with the returns on most officers just
about as reported. 1t finally develop
ed that Harry Munix had received the
highest vote of any candidate in the
state election, with Carl S. Milliken,
the popular secretary of state, a close
second.
On Mond.'y of this week Geo Step
han, who has for two years been regis
trar of the State Land Board, resign
ed, and Lieutenant Governor Earl
Cooley YVES Immediately appointed by
Governor Shoup for the four year
term to succeed him, and confirmed
by the senate.
Pat Hammock, who recently resigned
rs head of the National Guard and
State Rangers, was appointed on Tues
day morning as member of the State
Civil Service Commission. This ap-
pointment will be contested by an ap-
pointee of Governor Sweet.
On Tuesday at noon Governor-elect
William f. Sweet was duly sworn in
and delivered his opening address to
the legislature, in which he advocated
many changes in the present laws,
most Of them ones that have been re
commended by most all previous gov
ernors but never enacted into law.
and some that are innovations.
He, as all do, urged economy and
the consolidation Of the numerous bu-
reaus into one or two. He also wants
a new bureau created on Legislative
research. He wants an income tax
law and a cooperative marketing law
He asks the abolishment Of the State
Rangers and z stricter enforcement of
the prohibition law-two things that
don't seem feasible at the same time.
He asks for a blue sky law, mini
mum wage for women, and an increase
Of auto license fees. A state cement
plant operated by convict labor is also
part Of his program.
He appointed Raymond Miller, dem
ocratic state chairman and former res
ident Of Kiowa county. to succeed him
self as chairman of the State Board
of Land Commissioners.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

The management of the Well Worth
Variety Store is prepared to prove
that advertising does pay. Advertis-
ing coupled with fair prices is sure
to bring business TO any store. How
ever, advertising and fair prices must
work hand in hand that the results
desired may be accomplished. This
store might be able to quote the best
prices Of any in town but if we did
not advertise the same. We would be
unable 10 turn our goods fast enough
to show a reasonable profit Only by
keeping our goods moving can we hope
to maintain the prices that will appeal
and the only way TO keep these goods
moving is by the judicious use OF
printers ink. This explains why this
store has adopted an advertising pol
icy for the year 1923 that will mean
the expenditure of more money than
probably any other firm in Holly. Do
not get the idea however, that this
advertising expense is added TO tn"
cost of the goods you are buying. For
example: If our advertising apprO
priatlOn for the month of January Is
$50 and during the month we do $1,000
worth of business it has cost us 8 per
cent of our gross sales. If, however
with the same amount OF money spent
for advertising, we are able TO in
To
month, We have cut our advertising
expense to two and One-half per cent,
or in other words We are at least able
to sell on u closer margin than il W.
had not increased our gross sales. In
every instance an extensive advertis.
ing campaign is carried ON by pro
gressivc merchants, buyers are able to
secure better prices from the fact
alone that greater demands are created
for advertised goods and the greater
turnover enables the merchant TO in
crease his profit though small on each
item. IN the increased number of times
he is able to turn his investment dur
ing the year"
The above article is taken from the
Buyers Guide edited by X. Z. Wood
Of Holly for the benefit Of his Well
Worth Variety Store and other Holly
business houses. The Buyers Guide is
similar TO The Merchants Bulletin pub
lished by The Lamar Register for the
benefit Of Lamar merchants. The ar
ticle is one of the strongest arguments
we have seen on the subject Of ad-
.vertising and puts the cost and other
facts plainly in the light of intelligent
thought on the subject. 1t should be
read by both business men and their
patrons.

RAW POLITICS


The rawest and most willfully false
attempt to mislead public opinion for
political purpose ever made in Prov
ers county was the article last week
in the Sparks with regard to the
treasurer's bond. Every insinuation
and possible effort was made to con
vince the public that the republican
organization had attempted to defeat
the will of the people by preventing
the newly elected treasurer IRON Civ
ing bond, and that the commissioners
raised the bond to help in this move
ment. The facts OF the matter are
that bonding companies have no poll
tics and i democratic official hasn't
the least particle more trouble in Civ
ing bond than Il republican, and no
person or political organization has
any pull that would interfere with the
companies doing business with any
officer elected. This is amply proved
by the fact that the chairman of the
democratic county committee is agent
for bonding company himself, and
officials, but although the treasurer's
bond is the most profitable one of all
he did not write it. Several other
prominent local democrats are agents
for bonding companies, but their COM
panies did not want the business. 1t
is just as easy for man, who has
standing to get SI25, 900 bond, to
get one for 100000, and as the coun-
ty pays for it there is no hardship on
the official The former treasurer,
MIR. Mayfield, received SS7 900 from
his predecessor and gave bond for
100000 which was later raised to
Sl25 900. He turned over to Mr..
Hunter S22s, 900 on bond of 5000, 900,
so the cougty WIS only fairly protect
ing itself by the act of the county
commissioners in raising the bond. II
partisanship had anything whatever to
do with the bonding business demo-
cratic official has more show in Prov
ers county than a republican because
they have more agents-even as said
before including the chairman of the
Organization itself.
These facts the Sparks carefully
hid from its readers as it did also the
fact that the new treasurer in a prev
ious position had given bond from
q security company, which is yet in
an unsettled state, and this was the
cause of the trouble over the bond and
not any deep laid political plot as the
Sparks for its own partisan purposes
would like to make the people believe.
Had the republican commissioners
had any desire to take unfair advant-
age of the newly elected democratic
officials they had ample opportunity
on Tuesday, US only one of them had
fully complied with the laws with re
gard to necessary procedure To be in
Quoted into office. The faults We're
only technical however, and were not
thought of in partisan manner. Mr..
Hunter was elected to the office Of
treasurer by u considerable majority
OF the county voters and all are glad
he was able to give the required in
Identifying bond to get the security
bond and thus take his office. The
Sparks says this was AN excellent
weeks work, and it would be an even
more excellent one if the newly in
Quoted assessor would inspect the list
of sworn signatures of that bond and
correct the tax rolls of the county ac-
cordingly.

new assessor for the present in the
office.
Miss Pauline Gilbert, who has been

DR.. A. C. Davis succeeds DR.. l.. Z.

number of years past as result of
the election last November, and there
are now many new faces TO be seen in
the various offices. The old board of
county commissioners finished its
business and adjourned before noon
and the new board organized and
started work at once. The principal
change was the retirement OF Henry

the board for three years, and for the
past two years been chairman OF the
board. Mr.. Decker has been one OF
the most competent and faithful mem
bers OF the board that Prowers coun-
ty has ever had and his retirement
came as one of the results Of an off
year landslide that swanlped many
faithful public officials. His work has
all been for the betterment Of the pub
lie roads and economy in county eX-
penditures, and as a hard worker and
business man of good Judgment he
will be missed at the sessions of the
board. He is succeeded by Henry

DOLL STYLE REVUE
in CITY ON MAY Il
New Britain Girls Invited to Dress
Models for Big Show

A fashion review that will eclipse
anything New Britain has ever seer
will be held in this city on May IL
at the same time that New Britain's
big baby show will be held. This
fashion show is open to the general
public and the models will be popu-
lar favorites. No New York or Chi
cago artists models need apply, how
ever, as they would not stand a
chance; the models are especially
trained for this revue and their po-
sition is secure.
1t will be known as THE Doll
Fashion Revue" and will be held in
the New Britain General hospital. The
Doll Fashion Revue" will be held in
the class room of the nurses home,
under the auspices Of the women's
hospital board, and 1t promises to
out-rival even the National Hospital
Day Baby Show, as an outstanding at
traction.
The Doll Fashion Revue" will ex-
hibit the latest styles in milady's ap-
parel, but the design and handiwork
will be that of the girls and young
women of the community. although
according to advance notices, a
stranger would suppose them to be
the products of world famous shops.
The revue will be divided into four
sections, one for dolls dressed by girls
up to 10 years, another by girls up
to IL, another for girls up to Is years,
and the fourth for girls over IS. Suit
able prizes will be awarded In, each
division.
There will be no entry fee, and
every girl in town is cordially in
vited to enter doll and participate
in the celebration of this great day.
All entries with owners name must
be in the nurses home not later than
Friday noon, May 18th. All dolls will
be returned to owner upon applica-
ton for same at nurses home, at the
end of exhibition.
There is an interesting story con-
nected with the linking of the doll
Fashion Revue" and National Hospi-
tai Day" Last year, when hospital
was trying to devise special feature
for its National Hospital Day pro-
