 Reactions Grip Broken. The necessity for thinking this thing through grows clearly out of the present political trend The grip of reaction is broken; for that we are profoundly grateful. The trade union movement did it's full share in break ing that palsied grip. In reality the present remarkable strength of pro- gressivism had its genesis. back in the ! years when, under the direct inspira ton and guidance of the American i Federation of Labor, the grip of Can nonism was first threatened and then destroyed.

CITY ELECTION
Aldermen Appoint Election Officers
and City Campaign Will Soon
Be Underway.

The action of the city aldermen OH
Monday evening in appointing officers
for the different wards for the COM
ing city election has started 4 little
talk of who will compose the ticket or
tickets this spring-sometimes Lamar
has one and then again they have
more. 1t all depends, and it is hard
to tell month ahead of hand whether
it will be fight or not. Two years
ago there was only one ticket in the
field and two years before that there
was one big scrap.
The three city wards are divided by
making all south of the railroad and
from center of Main street east to
corporation line Ward One; that por-
ton of the south section west of cent
er of Main street is Ward Two; while
all north of the railroad is Ward
Three. Election officers we're appoint
ed as follows:
Ward one-Judges, Mrs. F. w. Say
Ter, w. S. Woodside and ]. B. Trax-
Ter; clerks. Mrs. Dolly Applegate and
Mrs. C. B. Ray.
Ward Two-Judges, Mrs. C. p. Chill
dress, Mrs. H. C. Davis and J. o.
Stream; clerks, J. ID. Spooner and f.
T. Hoggatt.
Ward Three-Judges, Mrs. w. l..
Pollard, Mrs. Bert Nerwin and Joe
ODonnell; clerks, Mrs. Matte Grims-
ley and Mrs. w. Mccormick.
The election will be held on Tues
day, April 3, and all who are entitled
to vote but did not vote at the city
election two years ago. will have to
go before the city clerk to register
and get his or her name on the poll
ing list.

FLASHES OF ACTION
Walter l.. Bennett Post. American
Legion, VIII Show Fine Picture
at Lamar Theatre.

The Walter l.. Bennett Post of the
American Legion will produce the sec
ond fine picture for the Lamar thea
tire public on Friday evening, Febru-
ary %. 1t is called FLASHES of Ac-
ton" and shows pictures of the Signal
Corps both in this country and in
France during the war. The object
of the Legion in producing these is
two fold, both the raising of funds
needed to carry on their work and the
arousing of the patriotism at this time
when our form of government is be-
ing more seriously challenged by the
secret foes within than it ever has by
the enemies outside our borders. The
young men deserve a hearty response
to their efforts. The picture is re-
ported TO be one of the best war pic
lures ever taken.

LAMAR'S BIG WEEK
Stock Show and Elks Circus Open To-
day With Big DOin's
Everywhere.

II is gala week in Lamar and the
town is crowded with visitors as well
as home people out for a good time
and interesting sights. The big west
wing Of the Sunday Garage is filled
with displays of the aristocrats of the
different breeds of domestic stock, and
the spectacle is one well worth the
time of any man or woman. Many of
the animals have been blue ribbon
winners wherever they have been
shown and are the highest types of
their class. The stockmen and farm
ers from all over this section of the
state have taken interest in the show,
and are helping to make it a bigger
success than last years show. The
committees of the Lions Club are all
doing fine work at entertaining the
visitors. The show is attracting far
more attention than any similar show
in this section ever did before and
crowds are attending all the time.
At night over at the ar1nory build
ing you can see the greatest circus
and carnival ever held in the west.
The Elks have prepared and are Civ
ing Lamar chance to see the great
modern circus at its best. They have
a wide range Of the most marvellous
attractions ever seen in history rang
ing from Little Eva crossing the ice
on roller skates to the thrilling cap
ture of thirty day dead bandit by
the Denver police. Anything you want
to see is there from the most blood
thirsty wild animals to the famous
galloping ant. The big armory is
crowded with lovers of fun and sport
all hours of the evening.

Basketball.

The Holly and Wiley coaches select
ed Lamar as the place TO play of the
e existing between their girl teams
for the championship Of the eastern
division OF the valley, and Tuesday
night as the date The Wiley cham
pionship boys team also agreed TO
play the Lamar boys team the same
light as an added attraction. The
two games proved the best the La
mar fans have seen this year. AS an
opener the Lamar boys who had not
won a game during the regular sched-
ule upset all the dope and defeated
the Wiley champions in a hard fought
exciting game by the score of 33 to
25. 1t proved bad night all around
for the live bunch of Wiley fans who
accompanied their teams to Lamar, as
the girls team after leading nearly all
the way slowed up in the last few
minutes of play and the Holly girls
came from behind and won out by the
narrow margin of 26 to "a. 1t was a
hard game to lose.

MERCHANT RETURNS
$. G. Van Scoyoc Finds There Is No
Place in Same Glass With
Lamar.

S. G. Van Scoyoc, who was prophet
or for several years of the Leader
Store In Lamar, and left about year
ago to conduct store at Clovis, New
Mexico, returned the first of the week
accompanied by Mrs. Van Scoyoc. He
try that is quite equal to Lamar and
he is back to stay. He has leased
store room in the Friedman Block on
North Main street and will, about the
first of March, open "The Famous"
store there with full line of dry
goods, clothing, shoes and millinery.
He is well known to our people and
has many friends here who will well
come him and his wife back to the
business and social life of our city.
Van says If any American soldiers got
mussed up in capturing New Mexico
from the Mexicans, 1t was too high a
price to pay for it. The skyline view
of Camel Boulevard looked quite ma
tural to him, but he was glad to hear
there were "indignations" that it
would be reduced soon. We also in
formed him that he would not have
to carry a lantern very long, as the
Lamar plant is now lighting up Gra-
NADIA streets very beautifully and the
officials hope in the near future to
get around to the Lamar situation
unless Holly and las Animas should
take a notion to come In and use the
rest Of the Juice.

The Lamar Light and Power Plant
is rapidly becoming one of the biggest
institutions of its kind in this part of
the state. The past week a contract
was made to furnish power for the
Bristol mill of the d. A. A & P. Co.,

several more extensions Of the big
plant. The business now exceeds ten
thousand dollars per month and Is the

Region rs Large as France.

The Legislatures of five great west
ern states as large as all Europe are
rutifying the Colorado river program.
Irrigation programs covering as
large a territory as all France in acres
are to be carried into operation.
Six million units Of water power and
irrigated homes for three million farm
ers are to be provided by this plan.
Water, light, heat, power, enormous
production from the soil and countless
industries are among direct results.
The nations widest river is to be
tanned, utilized and harnessed and the
greatest deserts reclaimed.
Certainly orderly government,
science and engineering art to make a
reality of the Bible prophecies that the
arid regions shall become productive
and the deserts shall bloom with roses.

DULL TIMES IN KANSAS
Lawyers Start Another Suit Against
Colorado Towns and Farmers.

1t is always easy to tell when il is
dull times in western Kan
sas-so very dull that even the limbs
of the law find it hard to stir up a
disturbance. When they reach that
stage they have an unfailing source
of trouble supply to draw on. They
get up a petition and sign it as some
body of water users and sue the Colo
rado farmers because they are so busy
raising crops they think they will pay
something to compromise rather than
go to the trouble of appearing in court.
The compromise of course Just about
covers the attorneys fees and costs.
1t must be extremely dull there Just
now as they did not stop at suing our
farmers but are going to stop some of
the townpeople from drinking any of
the Arkansas river water until the
Finney County Water Users Associa-
tion gets enough for chasers for their
moonshine. If they did not water it
80 much they could get better price
for it.
The attorneys for the association
filed suit recently again enjoin-
ing our farmers from using the wa
ters of the Arkansas for irrigating, but
it will go through the same form as
the one which the grandfathers of
these attorneys filed few generations
ago for the grandfathers of the wa
ter association and which suit is slow
ly winding its way through the vari-
GUS red tape proceedings of Uncle
Sans courts to be delivered to our
grandchildren if they live out the al
lotted years of man. 1t would be TAX
ing long chance with the goddess of
luck to expect a decision of this new
case during the century now dragging
its weary way down the avenue of
time.

Water Supply.

The city engineers are now examin-
ing the best methods OF extending the
galleries at the Clay Creek supply
station so as to ensure getting all the
available water supply at that point.
The rapid growth of our city and
necessary increased demands for water
combined with the long drowth in this
section of the state has caused short
age in the water supply, SO that with
out more rainfall it would be hard to
get through another summers lawn
irrigating season. II has been dem
onstrated that a much larger water
supply can be secured there if the
city is willing to spend some money
on it. Enough water can be sold to
the Santa Fe railroad alone to pay
the interest on the money needed to
develop the supply and it would seem
matter OF simple economy for the
city to go ahead with the work.

Beets to Bring Between $s.75 and $500
Per Ton for the 1922 Crop.

Sugar beets raised in this district
now stand at $3.50 per ton for the
grower. If the balance of the sugar
on hands sells for no less than what
the more than two-thirds of the crop
already marketed has brought the
farmers will realize $3.50 per ton for
their crop.
Here are the figures Of the amount
of sugar made, the amount sold and
the balance on hands:
Bags produced, 90,S0O.
Bags sold, 81 800.
Bags on hand, 10000.
Average net price of the sugar sold
is S6.68 per bag and since this report,
which was up to the close of business
on Tuesday OF this week, sugar took
jump of Sl.25 per cwt., and the indi-
cations are that the net price will av-
erage S6.75 which would bring the
growers $500 per ton for their beets,
the highest price paid in any sugar
beet district in the United States.
The National Sugar Manufacturing
Co., was the only factory in the coun-
try to adopt the "fifty-fifty' scale for
beets. This was done effective for
the crop of 1921, and was plan fig
ured out by the Crowley County Beet
Growers association. The growers
that season did not realize much on
their beets and as a result many grow
ers we're wondering if "fifty-fifty'
scale would work out as had been fig
ured. There we're several things that
season that contributed to the crop
not realizing what it should have,
among them i low price for sugar,
light per acre tonnage and low su-
gar content, but the most of them
knew that if there was any one thing
that would make the sugar beet crop
worth growing it would be such CO.
operative plan of marketing and they
stood firm, and the company was very
willing to try it out again. So last
season, 1922. the contract was the
same, and the figures given above
show what the plan has accomplish
ed So far there seems to be no bet
ter plan of growing beets than under
a "fifty-fifty" contract, and this year
other companies (most of them at
leasD have put out contracts that have
sliding scale based on the selling
price Of sugar-Ordway New Era.

There are only seven counties in

amount of the road fund than Baca
county and Prowers is not very far
behind.
An advertisement will be found in
this issue Of The Register for Federal
Aid Project No. l6S-B, which means
the surfacing with gravel of the road
from the end of the cement road just
north of the river to the Bent county
line. When this project is completed
it will mean that practically all of the
Santa Fe Trail in Prowers county is
gravel surfaced and all it needs is
moisture and proper working to make
it a road that is a pleasure TO ride
over. The newest stretch between
Carlton and Granada is now almost
completed and is by far the best
piece of work yet done in the county.
