A prominent professional gentleman of Riverton writing Mr. Fred Patee of this city upon the subject of the proposed issue of $1,800,000 in public high- way bonds says this: “TI have given this matter some considerable thought and was, for a time, at loss to know just what atti- tude to take. I had decided that I would vote for the bonds. I decided this mainly for the purpose of spreading the construction money around in this time of need. I figure that a goodly part of it will be wasted but believe that the state can afford to squan- der the money now, if it must, to give work and a circulating fund. I do not take the stand that the money will be squandered but believe that.so far, the Highway Commission has made many expenditures that were extravagant. However, I presume that the manner of building roads is a subject upon which even "vight people may properly differ. Personally, I do not believe that it has been wise to tear up what roads we had in order to make railroad grades at a large cost. Eventually, yes, but at present, we might get. along just as well in our community with less costly roads and more maintenance. This is just my view, but I know it is somewhat general in this community. I feel that while there is some opposition to the bond issue here, they will carry by a fair majority.” This is somewhat reassuring, for Riverton has been reported from time to time as very much opposed to the bond issue, and it was difficult to understand, why: a community with such enterprise, snap and go as Riverton possesses, should take that view. jae CR Po THE OTHER BERGDOLL. The first court decision in that particular phase of the draft law which provided that inducted men be notified by mail, has been handed down in the fed- eral court at Kansas City, where attorneys for Erwin Bergdoll, brother of Grover Bergdoll now a fugitive in Germany, applied through habeas corpus proceed- ings for his release from Leavenworth prison. The contention was that the record of the trial and conviction at Fort Jay did not show that the pris- ener had ever received notice that he had been draft- ed, and having received no notice could not be a de- serter because he did not know he had been inducted into the army. The ruling of the court was that the draft board’s mailed notice was sufficient and it was up to the man drafted to receive his mail. Bergdoll was summoned in the draft in April 1918. He suddenly disappeared from his home in Philadel- phia and was a fugitive until August 1920 when he surrendered at Fort Jay and was convicted for deser- tion by court-martial during the same month and sen- tenced to four years at Leavenworth. The court denied the petition, This decision will determine many other cases held in abeyance, where the defense pleaded is failure to receive personal notice of selection in the draft. Bee et KNITTING NEEDLES RUSTING. It seems but yesterday that wherever you went, in offices, shops, on trains, trolleys, boats, ships, hotels, homes, public places, everywhere the most familiar sight was women knitting. Socks for the soldiers, they said. Wonder who wore all those socks, and did they like them? It will be recalled that in ordinary cities and towns the supply of yarn frequently be- came exhausted. The merchants were unprepared for the demané that arose so suddenly. So were the manufacturers. There was a tremendous fussing and furming until a new supply came from somewhere. You recall the situation, don’t you? Everybody learned to knit. All of this is beside the question. What we really wanted to learn was, has the useful art of knitting vanished as suddenly as it came into vogue? Does anyone really knit any more? We guess not. In stores and shops where whole sections were formerly devoted to yarns, the stock now carried could be handily packed in an ordinary suit box and many shops have discontinued it entire- ly as an item of stock. The knitting craze must have been a temporary re- vival. The last gasp of an expiring art. It will like- ly remain both obscure and obsolete so long as our taste runs so largely to silk and machines can turn them out quicker and better than grandmother ever could in her palmiest days. —_———$o1+—_____ SASSAFRAS TEA. “It is time for sassafras tea,” loudly proclaims the Kansas City Star. ‘‘The balmy weather impresses us with the fact. The gentle south wind whispers it in| our ears. The robin redbreast, carrying straw for its’ , | Pudding—meaning, of course, the beverage—we know new nest, the sound of a hundred carpet-beaters from neighboring back yards, the shout of the boys play- ing marbles in the streets—everything suggests that when, in the course of human events, the leaf of the; calendar in the kitchen is turned to ‘April,’ it be-| comes necessary for people in the search of health and the pursuit of happiness, to resort to the old- fashioned beverage of our grandmothers, sassafras! tea. “In addition to the signs of the times, there is the; evidence that we have arrived once more at the prop- er time for the ‘thinning of the blood,’ the elimina- tion of that sluggish feeling, the curing of that ‘crick’ every store counter in the country announcing that sassafras is 10 cents a package. “Good old days and good old beverage. Modern} science may scoff, and modern physicians may scorn. ! Sassafras tea goes on forever. In the spring the fancy of the proletariat turns as lightly to thoughts| of the tea our grandmothers taught us to drink as the fancy of young men lightly turn to thoughts of love. It may be that the curative powers of Sassafras have been overestimated. We hold no brief for it from the medical viewpoint. But as one of our sacred in- stitutions, handed down from the constitutional fathers, and the constitutional mothers, science might as well blast away at the Rock of Gibraltar with freen Peas as to scoff at sassafras tea in the springtime. “Why, we would as soon think of expressing doubt as to the efficacy of goose-grease for the croup as to intimate that a cup of sassafras tea at every meal for ton days in April is not essential to the national health. vs yee “We have heard it contended, by some of the more zealous advocates of sassafras tea, that it is an enjoy- able cup. There are limits, of course, to which we will not go, even in defense of an old friend. As a beverage for social purposes we have had the lurking suspicion that sassafras does not quite meet expecta- tions. But as a remedy for the ill that doth so easily bese? us, at-this season of the year, we will maintain that sassaffas-tea has advantages over sulphur and molasses for purifying the blood or hiding the dish- rag as a remedy for warts. As to the proof of the severa! of our oldest and best citizens/who have been regular tipplers.during every springtime of their more than threescore and ten suu.. r= and they still live. Moreover, they themselves, will tell you, if you ask, that they have doubts if this latter condition might have existed had it not been for the blessings to hu- manity of sassafras tea. On the other hand we have known— “But why bring up sad memories in the discussion gf such a cheerful theme as that of sassafras tea?” AOA a Of the three and a half million men and women out of employment in January, a million of them have gone back to work and the total of the remainder is being reduced daily. 22 Nir Cite SA THE DUTCH WAY. “The people of the Netherlands are importing more wheat and less flour than formerly,” says the Amer-| ican Economist. “Why? Is it because the Dutch milling processes turn out. better flour? Is it because wheat keeps better than flour in transit? No. The reason is far different. It is because the Dutch do not propose to hire other nations to do for them work which they can do for themselves. he Casper Dally Cridune geereccsoccsonocs eococcenscesoverenes ec cccccscovesecoecs coccesoosesoosse: Grabs Registered Mail. (Wheatland World.) Friday night marked the first reg- Mstered mail theft to take place in Wheatland. The mail was transported to the depot, as usual, by Ed Jordan, and piled on the truck ready for the evening train. The thief helped him- self to the registered sack which con- tained about $500 in cash and a good! many money orders and made good | his escape. The empty sack was found later but up to date no trace of the robber has been found. Alfalfa Mill for Douglas... (@ouglas Enterprise.) President Elliott and General Man- ager Coons, of the Western.

The success of this project will mean a great deal to Douglas,’ and to the farmers in this section who raise alfalfa. It will open a market for the crop and it is probable that the farm ers will receive a higher price for thelr hay than they have heretofore. ‘The securing of the mil! was the re- sult of the efforts of the Douglas Community club, which organization, is endeavoring to bring in new enter- prises. Water and Sewer Contract. (Wheatland Times.) The contract for the construction work on the water and sewer exten sion in the north part of town was given to C, R Inman of Casper, at the meeting of the city council, Mon- day evening. His bid of approxi- mately $26,000 as the lowest sub- mitted by a dozen competitors. “The Dutch believe in patronizing home industry, in keeping their mills running, in keeping their work- men ‘employed. Holland-is not a wheat-growing coun- try. If it were, the Dutch would grow their own wheat as well as mill it. ~As the next best thing, they import the wheat which they cannot grow and man- Mr. Inman's contract calls for the jexcavation and laying of water and |sewer mains and the installation of manholes and septic tank.

There are other chronic} Free-Traders, those whose education in colleges taught them the theoretical beauties of Free-Trade and who, since their graduation, have failed to learn anything else. This is largely due to the fact that they have not left the classrooms, but have undergone the tran- sition from learners to instructors. No practical busi- ness man of observation and intelligence believes that, Free-Trade is the best thing for the country. Free- Traders are always visionaries, or else those whos are willing to sacrifice the best interests of the country as a whole for some temporary advantage to themselves, such as the speculative international banking in- terests, : “We in America should imitate the Dutch and pa- tronize home industry for the general good, and dis- regard the propaganda of the visionaries and selfish speculative interests. Let our motto continue to be, ‘America first.’ ” bee he AE Ua DEFYING ANCIENT FEARS. “It is the strength of the human will that keeps one from catching cold in thin attire in mid-winter,” asserts the Globe-Democrat. “So reasons out.a col- lege professor of applied therapeutics. Perhaps it is a kind of auto-hypnotism—to excursion a little in the mysterious realm of our psychology, where our igno- rance is still vast. “We marvel at the young.girl in semi-transparent stockings and shoes like slippers and likewise at the masculine cross-country runner with unclad arms, ant legs .that they are not laid up with pneumonia or lumbago, but they are not. “They have snapped their fingers in the face of maladies commonly supposed to follow exposure and the maladies have retired abashed. They have found their expected viétims ironclad in either a psychic ar- mor or a physiologic one, which we do not yet under- stand. It is not only an armor but a staff—to change the figure—on which confident self-willed human na- ture has leaned in other adventures besides those against cold. “Instances are well known where young women have risen from a sick bed and attended a dance, re- turning to their homes no worse off than before. The mind rules and the body must obey. If one’s voli- tion is to defy the accepted rules of health one is often victorious. “Exploring these latent powers further may eman- cipate us from overcoats and underwoolens and even from bed quilts and blankets. Begone, all such frail and sickly notions; we have notions that make us im- mune from danger.” Be i ERR THE SWINGING PENDULUM. “If no youthful generation need ever glory in its audacity, neither need any older generation ever grumble at it.” Thus observes The Outlook. “The pendulum swings back and forth every thirty years with mathematical uniformity. “All that youth ever desires is to be different from its parents, and in that fact is reassurance. “Today it is the fashion for young people to lay all things bare, They are leaving absolutely nothing to be revealed, Therefore the only way the next crop of boys and girlsycan have their due of revolt is to cover everything up again. i) “The Debses of today will have their daughters, and these daughters will have no choice but to be prudes.

While the representatives of all the organizations were emphatic in their approval of the propostiion, at first there was some difference of opini as-to when the election should be held, the farmers especially feeling that it should not be held at the same time of the election on the state high- way bond issue, When the matter was fully considered, however, it was de- cided that in tho interest of economy that both elections should be held at the same time, as a double expense would thus be avoided. Tt was only as to a question of when the election should be held upon which there was any difference of opinion. That such an election should be held was a point upon which all agreed and when it was finally determined to hold it on May 10, the decision met with the approval of every member of all the delegations, as well as with the approbation of every member of the board.
