Senator and Representative
On Wednesday of last week
Judge Terral, F. J. Graves and
S. M. Konkel hired themselves
to Las Animas to meet represen
tatives from other counties to
designate a candidate or candi
dates for state senator from this
senatorial district, and later at
Lamar to designate a representa
tive.
When we got there we learned
that the master genius of wire
workers and of the republican
machine down in this senatorial
neck of the woods—senator Has
ty of Lamar, had taken on added
amount of gall with a mixture of
impudence, sufficient to offer a
proposition to those who have
been trying for years to relegate
him to the scrap heap, to allow
them to put his smiling mug on
their ticket and thus to make it
unanimous and 3ave the expense
of further efforts to officially de
capitate him.
Also learned that the invinci
ble doctor had made certain hiar
ogliphie gesticulations at and
hoodo occular demonstrations I
against the Jacksonian disciples
of Bent and Kiawa counties, and'
thus had them hypnotized to do
his bidding.
But the Baca and P.-owers
delegates, having received a tip
of the doctor’s occult elTorts on
those of donkey fellowship, steel
. ed themselves for the occasion
and thus stood pat against the
waving of the wand and his soft
and purring words; and happen
ing to have a majority foiled the
little game of indorsement, and
nominated the little David who
will put an end to the doctor’s
political life in November—
And Carl Burke of Prowers
county is that man.
The same delegates who desig
nated Burke at Las Animas at
Lamar in the eveniug nominated
Sam Dean of Baca county for
representative.
Sam Dean will have no opposi
tion in the primaries. Burke
will have to beat another fellow
in the primaries who was put on
by those wanting to indorse Has
ty, and whose name also is Dean.

Progress of the Factory
This week a stone quarryman
was employed and yesterday be
gan work getting out rock for
the big broom factory.
Probably by nekt week a crew
of ten men will be in the quarry,
and teams by then or soon will be
hauling the rock to the factory
site in the factory addition to
’Springfield, and no doubt, by the
time the rock is on the ground
the Building will be let by con
tract and work oh it commenced.
At this time there can’t be any
guarantee of when the factory
will be in operation, but it will
be pushed with all speed.
To eoveir some questions that
have been asked, the factory
won’t buy the brush of members,
nor guarantee any set price to
them, outside of what, their brush
. brings made into brooms.
When the brush comes to the
factory it will be graded, and the
money received will be iu pro
• portion to the grade of the brush.
See circulars giving the equity
plans of. the factory—lor exact
! particulars.
The stock has been selling
' rapidly since the plan of pay
ments have been changed, By
I this plan everyone who has a
marketable crop can get in on a
share—slo down, $35 the first of
the year, and baloncc, -$55, the
first of May, 1919.
When the 500 shares are sold
there will be no mure stock put
on the marke't, sc. you will want
to sign up before the doors are
1 closed.
Do it now.
A DUNIVAN LETTER
FROM “OVER THERE"
Dear Folks:—
Will drop you a line, we are
. cornered in houses and hotels
| called billets. Some of our boys
1 pitched their tents in the back
yard iu a pretty grove. We have
| a swimming poo! in our yard.
1 To day is the Frenchman’s 4th
of July. We put on a parade for
them this a. m , and then went
to church in the Woods. Our
band was on the job. Our chap
lain gave us a nice talk.
Will tell you all about our trip
that I can: We sailed from
U. S. A., June 22, and arrived in
—, England, July 7th, then
. by rail to a camp.
Sure was comical to see the
trains. Their engines are the
size of our 1(3 h. p. threshers,
and coaches had small rooms.
Each room held h men, and ther
were 4 rooms to the coach.
The camp in England was a
peach—large trees and all kinds
of pretty sonery.
We stayed one night, then
sailed for (placo cut out).
Their cars and coaches were
small also. The capacity was
from 4 to 10 ton per car, the en
gines are larger here than in
England.
The people am real nice, sure
treat us fine. The women work
like men. They are 100 year*
behind the U. S. Saw a few
binders in action, wilh a yoke of
oxer, and one horse, with the
horse in the lead and a boy lead
ing it. Some, or the most of
their, use the sythes and cradles;
they use a wagon with 2 wheels,
like a cart, but very strong.
Some work a span of mules to a
cart and haul large loads.
There are very lew ears, some
tin Henrys. The bicycle is the
most common way to get around
We sure have been trying to
talk French. Each of us have
some kind of a dictionary and
talk to them in that way, but
Walt and f are learning fast, us
it is something like Spanish. 1
have found several that could
speak Spanish.
Wo sure have a time wiLh our
money, it is so much different
t.uan in the U. S. A. Tomorrow
is pay day. We will be paid in
French money. Each man will
need a purler to carry his money, ]
' ha! ha! You can take an Ameri
can d liar and g"t it changed into
French munuy, and every time
y-u get change after writ you
. t more smaller coin* till it
looks like you had tr,ore/.han ybu
started with. We anx
ious to hear from nopie. Two
boys got mail this a. n£' Will all
get mail any time now* Be sure
and have my papers sent. to me,
for anything from tfce U. S.
sounds good. |
We draw more pay r.«w in for
eign service—get 20 cents more
on each dollar. Then and
1 were made first-class privates
and that is $3.00 more. I can
hold a sergeant's job now, for 1
have studied it.
How are the crops out there?
Some wheat over here will make
35 or 40 bushels per acre. We
have fig and orange trees in our
yaad here. Will close for this
time. Yout loving son and
brother, Priv. W. E. Dunnivan,
Bat F., 341 F. A. American E.F.,

P.S. You can give this toMr.Kon
: ltel and (ell him I will write him
after awhile. Best wishes to all,

lag fact that In Colorado only the y
low press Is opposing Governor Gui v

with him what It would. It cannot do
anything with him. So It Is "against"

AT LAST
Some years ago a noted author
offered SI,OOO for an honest man.
and left the offer open for some
thing like one or two years with
out its being taken up.
The Herald has at last found
that man, and if that author
were now to renew his oiler we
would be in a position to carry
off hi- Cl.ooo.
It’s this way: In a statement
we send out to those whose sub
scriptions are about due or past
due, is this paragraph:
“We want to ask a little lavor.
In case you are in arrears and
feel that you ought to pay
for the paper because it isn’t
worth anything, or for any other
reason, kindly send us a letter to
that effect and we will take your
name off the books and call it ev
en.”
Several of these statements
had been sent to an old timer
who formerly lived near Stoning
tor., now of Fowler, Kans. Not
being able to got any word from
him, we a short time ago sent
him a stamped, self addressed
enve-'PPo. asked for an immedi
ate reply, and marked said para
grnph. , ,
Now here’s whore tho man s
honesty comes in: Having tak
en the paper many years while
Hiving in Baca and ordering it to
Lis new address at Fowler, and
and then having taken it out of
