BIG STOCK SHOW
February 2l, 22 and % Lamar VIII
Have Biggest Stock Show Ever
Held in Valley.

With the announcement last week
that the Lions Club had secured the
big Sunday Garage annex for their
second annual stock show, the prepara-
tions for the event began to take on a
more active appearance. All the stock
men who showed last year are very
anxious to repeat this year on a larg-
er scale as the results last season
proved the great advantage of that
class of advertising. The security to
the stock afforded by the housing in
the big garage has removed all doubts
as to safety of animals in case of
severe weather, and many stockmen
heretofore showing little interest are
now ready and eager to display their
fine stock. Prowers county and the
valley has many of the finest regis
tered and high grade animals in all
classes to be found in the country and
there will be grand blue ribbon show
ing of the aristocrats of the horse,
cattle, sheep and hog families when
the doors are thrown open to the pub
lie on Wednesday, February 81. Prof.
Geo. f. Morton, state dairy commits
sioner, and one of the best know n
stock experts of the west, will do the
judging for prizes.

ANNUAL POULTRY SHOW
Second Show Proves Even Greater
Success Than the Big One of
Last Year.

That our people are deeply interest
ed in the feathered variety of chickens
was amply proved by the large crowds
that attended the two days session of
the second annual poultry show held
by the Rotarians on last Thursday and
Friday. All sessions of the big show,
morning, afternoon and evening, saw
the big armory building crowded with
interested spectators both from the
town and country. There were hun
dreds of coops of the finest birds to
be seen anywhere on display, and rany
of the spectators from a distance stat
ed that they had never seen it equall-
ed at any of their big county fairs.
Not only was there an endless display
of all the finest breeds of chickens,
but turkeys, ducks and pet stock of
various kinds were handsomely repre-
sented. The displays were beautiful
in color and grace and tempting to
the imagination not only of the raiser
but of the consumer as we'll.
At each session of the show there
was a program with speakers who are
experts in the poultry industry and
discussions we're held that are valu-
able as aids to all interested in the
industry. No one who viewed the
wonderful displays in the various de-
partments could doubt that the poul-
try industry is becoming one of the
foremost in the Arkansas valley, and
that il is on the high road to pros
perity. The displays came from all
sections of Prowers and adjoining
counties, and people from all over the
valley and distant points came to view
the big display. The Rotary club and
especially its show committee did itself
proud in handling the show and en-
tertaining the numerous visitors to the
sessions.

Big Fire at The Stock Yards.

A house belonging to Amerine and
McKiben located at the stockyards
took fire about nine o'clock this morn
ing and burned to the ground.
1t was occupied by three employees
of the company, Elmer and Truman
Vanderpool and Bud McCurry. Tru-
man had come in with a bunch of cat
tie about five this morning and was
asleep in bed at the time of the fire.
The other boys were getting break
fast over hot fire. The first init
nation they had of danger were some
sparks of fire falling from the ceiling.
By this time all unknown to the oc-
cupants below the whole garret was on
fire, having caught from a defective
flue, it is supposed. The fire was
now breaking through the ceiling when
the blaze was discovered. The boys
who were up had barely time to arouse
him out in a half awake condition near
ly all the furniture and other belong
ings were consumed by the flames. A
car load of cotton seed cake stored in
sacks and few large articles was all
that could be saved.
BY the time the fire company arriv-
ed on the scene the house was gigan-
tic torch. There was insufficient water
hose to reach the building which is
out side of the city limits. Some old
hose used for flushing purposes was
brought into requisition but it was too
old and rotten for use. The pressure
at the hydrant was very poor also, and
no stream could be gotten to the blaz-
ing building. The fire workers could
do nothing but watch the fences, out
buildings and stock yard property and
throw pals of water on scorching
posts. Fortunately, there was not
much wind or the whole stock yards
property would have gone up in smoke
and flames. 1t will be recalled it was
less than a year ago that this proper
ty was similarly endangered. By heroic
efforts the fire workers were able to
confine the blaze to the one building.

knights of Pythias.

II. c. Morse of Rocky Ford, Grand
Chancellor of the Grand Lodge
Knights of Pythias of Colorado, was
here last week interviewing the offic-
ers of the lodge and meeting the mem
bers. The Lamar Lodge has been dor
mant for two years, but has succeed
ed in maintaining its organization, and
the officers have hopes Of reviving it
in the near future. This lodge was
one of the chief promoters of the Fra
ternal Temple and it was largely due
to the efforts of its membership that
the temple was finally made a sue
cess. The lodge owns considerable
block of the temple stock as we'll as
much valuable paraphanalia, and it
should not be hard to revive interest
in the beautiful work of the degrees
put on in the order.

NEW PLANT OPENED
in New Quarters on Railroad
Avenue.

The management of the 0rnaback
Process Co. has started a new idea in
Lamar by proving what can be done
at reasonable price with old build
ing. They recently purchased from
d. H. Applegate the old laundry build
ing on Railroad avenue facing the de-
pot, which has for several years been
used as bottling works and with the
aid of the G. II. Brown Mfg. g. Lumb-
er Co. experts have remodelled it into
a very handsome office and wholesale
plant for their product. 1t started a
boom in old buildings which we under
stand has even reached the city coun-
Gil.
The new office room of the company
is one of the handsomest in our city,
roomy and well lighted and ventilated,
making a pleasure to do business
there. Back of this are several large
rooms used for the manufacturing de-
partment, the packing and shipping
department and the storage ware
house. The company has already NOV
ed from its former packing plant in
the Lamar Motor Sales Co. basement
and all of its business except the Of
fices are now working in the new
quarters. The offices will be moved
next week.
The business of the company is
growing at rapid rate and promises
soon to be one of the big institutions
of our city. The officers and stock
holders are all Lamar business men ex-
cept the president of the company
who is Fred A. Sabin Of La Junta.

FIRST REAL WINTER
Lamar's Winter Climate Proves SUI
periOr to California or Even
the Gulf States.

During the big storm which swept
over the nation the past week Lamar
got her first touch of winter, but af-
ter reading the accounts of the storm
in other sections it certainly was only
a touch. While people were freezing
to death even as far south as Louisi-
ana and southern California was snow
bound and fruit injured by heavy
frosts and freezing weather, the La
mar territory had one rather cold day
just enough to realize that it was
really winter. After that the first
real snow for nearly year fell and
the ground is still white although the
sun is shining bright and it will soon
go. The snow was badly needed and
all our people regret about it is that
there was not several times as much
of it. Such a thing as real winter
weather has not happened in this sec
ton as yet this winter.

STATE LEADERS
Arkansas Valley Dairymen Holding

The report of the state dairy COM
missioner for December shows that
the Prowers county dairymen are
again in most of the leading positions.

association. This association has high
herd under fifteen cows, that of Tur-

herds, and the high one of class above
fifteen cows, the Green Mountain
Dairy showing averages only second
to Turpin and Dewitt. This associa-
tion also has second high COW for the
state, No. l6 of the Model Dairy at

In the entire western division of
sixteen states, the Green Mountain
Dairy stands third in the division of
herds of over fifteen COWS. In the
matter of feed cost of producing milk
and butterfat our farmers again lead
with feed cost of 73 cents per cwt.
of milk and 2l.5 cents per pound of
butterfat. Boulder the nearest COM
petitor showed $l.0S per cwt. of milk

sessions.

When the Denver mint robbery was
first published it seemed as if it was
a very daring affair, pulled by few
desperate men in the business heart
of a great city. The later reports
however would indicate that it should
have been easier than it was, as a
regular army was employed in com
mitting the crime. The Denver offic-
ials have already located four thous-
and three hundred and seventeen ban
dts and just as soon as they freeze
to death they will catch them. This
number should be able to hold up most
any city-and don't forget they are
still locating more of them. They will
surely get them if they just freeze.

DIR. l.. X. Gulick Dies of Overdose of
Drug,

DR.. Leroy Gulick, so years old, died
Sunday in the Stuart apartments,
First avenue and Broadway, of an
overdose of drug, according to Dep
uty Coroner George Bostwick.
Miss r. Seal, the nurse, who had
been caring for DIR. Gulick, had left
the apartment for dinner. She asked
j. s. Hunter to look after her patient
until she returned, according to Bost-
wick, but before Hunter reached the
sick room DR.. Gulick had swallowed
the drug.
DR.. Gulick was a practicing physici-
an in Lamar for several years and still
has many friends here both profes-
sional and others who well remember
him. He fell heir to considerable mo-
ney after leaving Lamar and had not
been very active in his profession OF

THIRTY-SIX YEARS AGO
Lamar Could Handle the Knockers
Better Then Than in the
Year 1928.

From the ancient files of The Reg
lister of the year one in Lamar, we
find that our fair city even before its
first anniversary had trouble with the
knockers just as it does today, but
had better methods of handling them.
The Register was asking subscriptions
to a fund to pay the fine of man
named Smith and get him out of jail
at Las Animas. He was accused of
beating up and chasing out of town a
man named Holmes who had been
knocking on Lamar in public.

Some Excitement.

Sheriff Beavers and the city police
force received word yesterday after
noon that wild crazy man had at
tackled Geo. Feldman without provoca-
tion of any kind and severely beat
him. The officers succeeded in entic-
ing the insane man to the city Jail
where it took the whole force of both
sheriff and police officers to subdue
him and get him into a cell. 1t was
found that he had formerly lived at
Garden City where he has a wife and
child. He was sent to the insane asy-
lum at Ossawatomie from Garden City
about a year ago, but escaped from
the institution several months ago, and
no trace of him had been found until
captured by the Lamar officers. The
Kansas officials will send at once for
him.

GREAT HOG STATE
Colorado Farmers Are Going Into Hog
Game Strong.

IL the present rate of increase con-
tinues Colorado will in very few
years produce all the hogs necessary
to supply the demand of local packers,
which in the past has been such that
large numbers Of hogs have been
brought in annually from other states
to be butchered at the Denver stock
yards and at smaller packing centers
in the state.
The census bureau reported $4,000
hogs at the farms of the state in 1910.
In 1920 the same bureau found 450, 900
hogs on Colorado farms. On January
I, 1923, the U. s. Department Of Ag-
riculeure estimated the number Of hogs
on farms in the state at 523, 900. This
means that there are now on the farms
in Colorado approximately three times
as many hogs as there were in 1910.
The increase for January l, 1923, over
January of the previous year was
estimated at Is per cent, being the
largest percentage of increase report
ed for any class of domestic animals.
This steady increase in hog produc-
tion has kept pace in general way
with the increase in production of corn,
field peas, kafir corn, milo, barley and
other feed crops. Charts prepared by
the State immigration Department for
use in the Colorado Year Book show
that the production of hogs is the
greatest where there has been the
greatest increase in the production OF
these crops in the past decade.
Rio Grande county, which ranks
above all other counties in proportion
TO its size in the production OF field
peas, also holds first ranks in the num-
ber of hogs per square mile OF area
with an average of 2S. In proportion
to its area this county has more than
twice as many hogs as any other coun-
ty in the state. Alamosa, Costilla and
Coneios counties, which also produce
field peas extensively, rank high IN
the production of swine.
Corn is grown most extensively III
the northeast part of the state. Coun-
ties in this part of the state also have
increased their production of hogs rap
idly in the past few years, Phillips
Morgan, Adams counties leading IN
production per square mile of area
Counties in southeast Colorado, where
both corn and grain sorghums are
grown extensively, are increasing their
swine output rapidly. There are, how
ever, many counties in eastern Colo,
RADIO where the production of swine al
present is apparently less than hall
what it should be in proportion to the
feed crops raised. Kiowa county, fol
example, which produces both corn anC
grain sorghums extensively, has onl!
about one hog for each square mile OF
its area

Swine are becoming ana more
valuable, and profitable as patients of
the veterinarians" said DR.. E. E. Veg
ner, head of the school of veterinary
science at the State College of Wash
ington, recently.
I'm sections where swine raising is
important, many men do little else but
vaccinate for hog cholera and treat
other swine diseases. Hog cholera,
hemorrhagic septicaemia, influenza,
swine plague, necrotic enteritis, cry
sipelas, internal parasites, lice and
mango. abortion, malnutrition. infec-
tious arthritis, ricketts,. bull-nose, and
other n~ecrotic infections are just now
receiving attention. The collective
value of these animals make them a
PURGE of much revenue to the practi-
toner.
But few practitioners depend upon
one species of animal alone for their
practice, as few districts depend upon
one Kind OF livestock, though in GER
tain places one species is more impor-
tant than the others.
THE demand for good veterinarians
Is increasing. as all classes OF live
stock are requiring more and more of
this special care. This will continue
and increase as livestock becomes
nor highly developed and as prob
lens in connection with their breed
ing and care grow more complex.
THE dangers attending in breeding,
high production. close housing. artih-
cial care. and multiplication of infec
tiOns must be met with competently
trained men to protect these wealth
