The work of clearing away the débris left! by the Democratic administration was in itself The work of readjusting the admin- istrative machinery and getting it back to normal necessarily was delayed until the debris*was more or less cleared. But it has been accomplished. The change began with the inauguration of Pres- ident Harding and the selection of his cabinet. The| driving power which has brought about this trans- formation has been centered in his cabinet.

When we substract the e: ly due to the war, such as interest and prin payments on the national debt, soldier relief, and make proper allowance for the increased cost of labor and material, it is found that the federal are actually below those for 1916, the year before we entered the war. That compilation takes no account of the growth of the country in the last seven years, which would be complete justification for much larger appro priations than those actually made.

P. Isley. R. E. MeNally of Sheridan s attorney for the strikers. Tho suicide last week of Mark H. Sh'elds, president of the company, has put a temporary stop to its operations, and the return of the strikers to work depends on how soon the company resumes activity. Shields’ death de veloped a shortage In tho financial re. urces of the concern, and it was on this account that mining work has been stopped. The shortage was en ‘trely legitimate, however, it was de clared by company off:cials. About half of the men employed by the company struck more than two weeks ago and organized a mine workers’ union local chapter, de- manding the inion scale of wages. This demand the company refused, Shields declaring that the company would “run an open shop on the pro fit-sharing plan lke that one used by the Homestake mine and the Ford Motor company.” ‘The company had planned to conduct extensive strip ping operations th's spring.

Rpectal Casper Correspondent. EADERS: Well, Readers, it is funny what a Mental Hazzard a Dentist is, hey, and I do not see since everything Is being Regulated these daze and the Government of this Republic, as we sartirically call it, is busy exterminat ing everything from Cotton Moths to Booze, why scmething is not done about Dentists. However, I do not want to Knock, and I know some Suys are writing about Dentists and kicking over them before this. I agree with what the poet says, “Lute and the world Lutes with you; Harp and you Harp alone” (Keats, I think). However, I am against Dentists, at that, and do not think they should be allowed to run around Propergat: ing the Species; because one Dentist breeds another, just like bad apples Well, I make a appointment with a Dentist some time ago, and believe me it will not be in this life but in another Incarceration when I make another! I do not call this Indian Club up to have my teeth fixed until I have got a cavity in one Bicuspidor that will make a fin> excavation for the Yankees new ball park; and I am mislaying a lot of good meals in it one time and another, and with the present price of food I can not afford to buy two dinners every night—one for me and one for this tooth! The worst of it is, this tooth will always get the first meal, and I’ can never make it eat at the Second’ Table; and this is a very embarrass Well, I am a poor man, and this a very Expansive tooth, and I figure it is not worth it: so I decide it will be better to take my courage in the, hand and have it fixed up. Well, Reader, Dent'sts make me nervous. I do not know how it Is, but for daze before I go to a Dentist my mind {s surprisingly Active and refuses to be its Normal Blank. I remember all I hear about what these babies can do to you, and I get very Sick At Ease. Well, I make a appointment, as I am saying, and I am. very sore be- cause this Ind’an Club will not give me a date to get this tooth fixed right { way. However, he says he is very busy, and I can come next Friday at 3 o'clock. I tell him I am a #mer- gency case and must come right away, but he says no; and by next Thursday I am beginning to think he gives me too soon a date at that! I} remember hearing of a guy once which has a perfectly good tooth | bored out by a Dentist, and the bad| one left stand’ng as empty as a Ice| Chest in the Arctic Circle! I get to thinking about one thing and an-| other, and I wonder why I ever make this appointment at all! Well, by Friday morning I am a Nervous Derelict, belleve me. At about two o'clock I can not stand it any longer, so I put on my hat and, coat and walk toward this Dentst's Jo'nt Determinedly. I will go in and I will show this guy he| can not scare vr Intimidate me.

L. Markley, principal of the high school, was elected superin-' tendent of the grade and high schools. He will rece!ve a salary of $3,500 a year and devote the entire year to the work. Douglas has been with- out @ superintendent the last year, the grade and the high schools each being in charge of a principal. There will probably be a few changes in the teaching staffs of the schools the coming year. Misses Alice and Loulse MacCormac of the high school have declined a re~wlec- tion, the other teachers having re- eelved a contract from the board for| their signature. For the vacancies Mrs. Nordgren and Miss Conners, now teaching in the South Side grade school, have been offered’ contracts Contracts to all the grade teachers have been tendered by the district board. The election of teachers will| be made when acceptances have been recelved of the contracts, It is planned to eliminate one of the secretaries of the boards, the one secretary to handle the work of the high schocl and of District No. 17. The office of superintendent of rural schools will be abolished. ieee Sorat New Fair Board | SHERIDAN—Formal organization of the recently appointed Sheridan} County Fair Board was completed in @ meeting in the Farm Bureau office in the court houso.

Of course, I can go out and have an- other dentist do some Placer Mining on me and Pan me Over until he has got the precious metal-out, and then I can sell th's for enough to nearly pay my Dentists bill.
