Every evening, at precisely 8 o’clock, a large wide- mouthed whistle, of great lung capacity, con- nected with the boilers of the Natrona Power com- pany, is turned loose upon a defenseless public and everybody within a radius of ten or a dozen blocks must suffer pandemonium for a period of from three to five minutes. The purpose for which this whistle is blown, is immaterial. It is a public annoyance and should be suppressed. There is nothing in the rights and franchise granted this company by the people of Casper that contemplates this ear-splitting racket at 8 o’clock in the evening or at any other timo of day. Here is exactly what this infernal noise does to the public: Disturbs every public gathering in the city, sus- pends ail public and private business, endangers the lives of every hospital patient and every sick person within the hearing of the diabolical screech, awakens baby that tired mothers have patiently charmed , drowns all conversation, everywhere, until the din subsides. i There is nothing that the blowing of this whistle sig- nifies that cannot be accomplished by another means, of less heathenish accent and discomfort and annoy- to the peor Will the Natrona Power ‘conipany suppress this big d town practice, or must some sufferer d to mount the boiler house at the power twelve-pound sledge hammer paralyze of that hideous soloist? ad of encouraging violence in the r y department, having jurisdiction nd publie nuisances, could open diplo- tions with the Natrona Power com- sint out to that concern its total lack of ation for the rights, 7 leges and enjoy- me of honest and orderly hoseholders within the zone of audibility of its said raucous steam whistle, and thereby induce it to abate the annoyance? The desirability of such action on the part of our city authorities may be accepted without argument. be ence plant the vor SUGAR AS A PROPHET. “Sugar may be a prophet among the prices,” ob- serves the Lawrence Telegram. “A year ago it was selling for 25 cents a pound retail and the talk was quite general that it would go to 40 or 50 cents a pound before it would go below 25 cents a pound. “M a thrifty housewife and equally thrifty hus- band of such a wife hastened to buy a hundred pound bag of sugar at 25 cents a pound in order to be pro- vided with 25-cent sugar for a few months longer, fearing the advent of 40 cents a pound for sugar. “Some of them had part of that 25-cent sugar when the price of it had dropped below 10 cents a pound. “And it did ke it long to drop below 10 cents a pound when tumbling in sugar prices began. Now it can be had for seven or even less than seven cents a pound retail with the tendency towards even lower prices “Those who thought a year ago that they would never live to see the day when sugar would again be selling in the markets of the United States at the famous rate of twenty pounds fot a dollar may not have to wait many days before they see enterprising grocers advertising that old time price for a 20-pound bag of sugar. “As the sigar prices slid off from the after-the- war peak until they have reached pre-war levels many country must be asking them- sort of pioneer in the return of f ecessaries of life to normalcy? t simply showing the way that hard coal prices e price of tenements must travel? ot for the monopoly in hard coal held lvania barons it is certain that hard would be following the lead of sugar prices did not fall so fast or so far as sugar prices have fallen. “Rents, too, r little retrogression.” some of these days indulge in a!

Great attention has been given to charitable and educational work . And yet, some human relations are not right. We are in turmoil when we should be s happy nation working together for the good of all. There is a spirit of unrest, of/ discontent, of extravagance, of idleness, of expected perfection and impatience when we should remember that perfection and success are not immediately with- in one’s grasp. . . What are called radicalism, so- cialism, sovietism and bolshevism are» advocated, and too many people who should know better lend a re- ceptive ear to those foolish yet dangerous doctrines and thus encourage the ignorant, the thoughtless and the wicked.” Because of the tendency to “fly to evils we know not of,” the more thoughtful and far-seeing people should inculeate in the minds of the young ts hold steadfastly to the everyday principles of hard work, patience, courage, thrift and consideration for the other fellow, rather than to follow off after the false gods and fzllacious theories that promise large and produce nothing in the end. There is much in the good citizen standing up and being counted. is aa HOPE IN DAWES. The hope of the country for the real enforcement of economy seems to be in Director of the Budget Dawes. He is coming to be regarded as the watchdog of the treasury. We only hope his powers are suf- ficient to enable him to justify the confidence the” peo- ple have in him. Save Secretary Mellon of the treasury, who has constantly and persistently preached the necessity for economy, the executive departments which spend so large a share of the peoples’ money, have shown no lively interest in reducing and saving. Congress has not the slightest idea on the subject and still goes on its way as if the country were made of money and its principal business was to devise ways to expend it. There will have to be an awakening at Washington and considerable more sincerity shown if the admin- istration hopes to even hold the stauchest Republicans in line. The Republican party is in perfect good faith with the people in the pledges it has made them; and if the leaders chosen to redeem those pledges do not show greater capacity in performance, then they are unworthy and may expect criticism and even repudia- tion. We hope it does not come to any such p: We trust the governmental machine will finally be rulled out of the mire whee the previous administra- tion left it parctically stalled. We hope the presi- dent’s plans of efficiency may be fully realized and that some real benefits may come through the budget plan of expenditures. Eee eel THE GAME OF ADVERTISING. “Advertising is a game,” as viewed by York Mail. “Business is its stake. has greater zest or importance. men play it carelessly. Competition is the great in- structor. Rw» your eyes over the advertisements of today and you will find them showing a skill and in- genuity well deserving the name of art. The titles read like news heads and have the appeal of news. The copy is terse and readable. It tells people un- mistakably how they can economize; where they can buy the best goods for the least money and with the least inconvenience to themselves. -Eyeryone wants to economize now. The advertisement which does not promise economy might as well not be written. “We see a judicious use of space and appropriate- ness of display that makes each modern good adver- isement a classic. If one should compare them with those that were set a few years ago he would be sur- prised at the improvement. “And yet there are slovenly advertisements still, advertisements which merely take room and exhibit the backwardness of those who pay for them. “The best skill in any game is only attained by trained experts. Others may have good: ideas and flashes of luck. But only the expert knows how to use good ideas for the maximum of result without relying on luck.” ee ee ee ONCE WILD AND WOOLLY. The east still expects the west to provide the thrills, the new and strange things in life. We have been doing this for quite some years, and while most of them seem commonplace to us, in the older and more staid sections they excite wonder. The Phila- delphia Record thus speaks of western Wyoming: “Out of what was once the wildest and woolliest part of the west comes a strange story. About a year ago, it will be remembered, the town of Jackson, Wyoming, came under petticoat government. The women, newly epfranchised, won all the offices. Now there has just been a special election to decide the question of dividing Lincoln county. The result shows the divisionists have won by 700 majority, and the town of Jackson has been chosen as county seat for the new Teton county. This new county takes in much of the famous Jackson's Hole country, once the resort of the bad men of the old west. The gentle hand that rocks the cradle may govern where the trigger-finger was once supreme.” a THE OLD SPIRIT RISES. The spirit of '76 was shown the other day in De- troit when a group of delegates from the convention of disabled war veterans invaded the Socialist na- the New No other game Too many business tional convention and served notice that the overseas | men were ready and anxious to fight again, if need be, in the maintainance of American pri ples of government, and that they viewed with small pati- ence the continued plotting and conspiring of Social- ists, and their ilk against the government that they the veterans served, and which had but recently been big enough and great enough to save the world from destruction. It is not only well that Socialists have learned the attitude of the fighting Yanks, but all other breeds of discontent may take notice and be governed in the exercise of their constitutional rigkts and keep strict- ly within those rights in both speech and action. O BEATING BACK. It is reported that farmers of the west are able to secure all the competent help they need for harvest- ing their crops at $3 a day, whereas last year they were compelled to pay from $8 to $10 for help of in- different character. And it is further reported that there are but 800 idle farms in New England this season compared with 4,000 last year. It is apparent that the farming industry is resuming its old stride and taking its old position in the economic life of the nation, not from special privileges extended by a beneficent government as many have demanded, but by the operations of the law of supply and demand and by the courage, thrift and wisdom of the farm- ers themselves. : THINK ABOUT IT. It is said that Germany is “sweeping the seas clear” of British competition in world trade. She recently underbid British competitors by 50 per eent on $1- 400,000 worth of contracts in Palestine and India where England is supposed to he in ecntrol of things.

De Peyster, otherwipe the millionaire adventurer,” dots &s says he intends to do there'll be a riot in Cheyenne some midnight soon. For, says De Peyster, prompt- ly at the strike of midnight, he proposed to walk out of the Pisins hotel with 50 $50 bits in hand pre- sent @ bill to cara of the first 50 needy persons he encounters, Jt is improbable that 0 needy pergons could be located in prdasperous Cheyenne with search warrants, but is is more probable that when young Mr. De Peyster sailies forth from the Plains at the witching hour of midnight, to perform his announced philanthrophy, he'll he be confrented by an army of needy- forrevenue-only as far as the eye can reach, which is a right consid- erable distance in modernly Qlumi- nated Cheyenne, even at midnight The mney which De Peyster proposes to distribute so prodigally is the accumulation of his adow~ ance from the estate of his late father, a multimillionaire of , New York City. De Peyster is peevish at the guardiah of his father's mil- lions for calling him a spendthrift, a ne'erdo-well and several other things merely because he fan through $100,000 in a few months and therefore declines to Use per- sonally a cent of the $250 weekly which the guardian transmits to him. No sir, young Mr. De Peyeter proposes to show his contempt for the guardian by giving the niggard- ly weekly stipend away, and mean- while to do what the guardian sar- castically told him he was in ca- pable of doing—earn his living, He wants.a job—a real, honest-to goodness job with oodles of excite- ment associated with it—and that's why he is in Cheyenne. The job which young De Pey- ster has picked out for himself is riding a bucking airplane during the Frontier Days celebration the last week of July. He's going to see James H. Walton, chairman of the Frontier committee, about the job in a day or two. Meanwhile he's stopping at the Plains, the city’s leading hotel, and proposes to stop there until after Frontier days. He's ‘strapped—he admits that—becausé of his refusal to touch the allowance from his father's estate, and a person finan- cially embarrassed has no business stopping at the Plains, but that doesn't appear to be worrying De Peyster, so confident is he that the Frontier committee will reward him with unstinted largess for rid- ing a bucking airplane. De Peyster confesses he never en- countered &@ bucking airplane, nor has he ever met anybody else who professed to have seen an airplane of that disposition and those pro- clivities, elther running wild of tn captivity, but he hag faith that the .
