Bia Lee PUT IT OVER Tofay a large number of the men of a local church have turned sside from their usual vocations and are giving their time and serv- ice in a systematic canvass for funds to erect « new religious edi- fice. It is @ laudable enterprise, and these men are to be encouraged for their courage in the undertaking. The growth of the city is an oc- cesion of astonishment to tourists and visitors; but the absence of more than one or two suitable places of worship are equally an occasion of astonishment—not quite so favorable.

POLITICAL ARGUMENT A Republican editorial, written ithe Republican faith solely in mind, |gives a list of interesting statistics to prove that our exports were much larger in 1922 than they were before 1914. They are impressive, and doubt-} jless entirely correct. Along with |the figures is a strong, well written jeditorial argument to the effect | that there is “much loose talk about ‘reopening our foreign markets’ for |the surplus products of American | mills and farms.” but it says of the! argument that rehabilitation of Europe will help to bring back to trade: | “It is difficult to be patient with such argument. It is as plain as the nose on a man's face that the reason our exports to Europe today are greater than they were in the) pre-war year is because Europe is not back to a normal pre-war basis either industrially or agriculturally. It is equally plain that the nearer she approaches such pre-war normal production the less goods we will sell to Europe and the nearer our} exports to Europe will approach! the pre-war figures.” It is difficult, indeed, to be pa- tient with political propaganda at times, whether it be Republidan, Democratic, Socialistic or unadult- erated Bolshevism. It is apparently the impression of this writer that the world (meaning the U. 8.) would be better off if Europe never got back on her feet. Pressing the | point « little further, this country would benefit hugely by another world conflict, and would collect what little of the world’s wealth she Che Casper The Little Scorpions’ Club.

It was a saying of President Roosevelt, “If a thing is true, put it through.” The spplication in thie instance is ob- vious. A MODERN CROESUS Wall street has just ticketed Henry Ford es the righest man in| the world, with assets estimated at a total of between $600,000,000 and §700,000,000. This follows the publication of the report of the Yord Motor company as of Feb- rhary 23, 1923. On that ows e about one hundred six millions greater than the previ ous year. Cash on hand is revealed as $159,605,687; more than fifty} m n over the year before. The profit and loss surplus is $359,777,- 598 and the net profits estimated at $119,000,000 by Wall street. Uere is the most romantic figure the financial world has ever known. ‘Twenty years ago, with a capital of only $100,000 and not much of that his own, presumably, Henry Ford aturted out to startle the universe. He had employed under him about three hundred men. His factory eccupied perhaps one-fiftietlh the space it does now. Yet only two years ago this modern Croesus de- fied Wall street itself.

The object, it appears, is to keep criminals trom | getting @uch weapone. The incidental effect, admittedly, will be to keep honent citizens from having means of protection againat criminale, beyond that furnished by the police. Judea McAdoo, speaking from long expert- © and respected authority, says jthat it is @ delusion that the armed | jcitizen is safer, in a burg! 'y or hold- | up, than the one who carries no gun. The danger ts that the criminal wilt | take his gun away from him and beat him with it.

On January 165th, as Vera Mikelvich she pledged eternal fidelity to Joe Marich of Casper, and on March 27th as Vera Merich, she again pledged eternal fidelity—but this time to Joe Gregorich of Dietz 8. And these two conflicting pledges| proved the undoing for the little| bride. The story came out last night when Gregorich, a swarthy Siberian, put the kibosh on the third near honeymoon of his bride when he and No. 44 appeared simultaneously at the Burlington station. The girl fled, with the bridegroom in hot pursuit. He captured her in true cave-man style and carried her back to the sta- tion. where the case was laid before Patrolman Guy Webb. In halting English, the Stberian told about how he had married the girl at Billings three weeks after she had gotten her divorce from Merich on the grounds of non-support, how they had-set up housekeeping in his shack, of the three weeks of happi- his bride was receiving letters from her former husband. His discourse ended with a graphic description of his despair when he detected her} Plans to catch the midnight train to go back to Merich. The girl then between sobs told — omething, besides Service ; ‘ANY canveniences which the motorist haa come to expect from the present-day service station were unknown but a decade or @0 ago.

May 10.—The! county commissioners, who finished up thelr regular monthly meeting, | reached a decision regarding the| eradication of grasshoppers in Fre-| mont county when they revised the budget and appropriated $6,000 from| the general fund for this purpose. According to the law under which the county commissioners acted, the farmer must apply the poison as| directed by the commissioners. They or the committee in this case buy and mix the poison, and notify the farm-| ers where to get it and when to apply | it. If the farmer refuses to comply the committee may then go ahead and have the poison applied and charge the full bill to the land. A small fine may also accompany re fusal on the farmer's part. ‘The grasshopper has come to be m serious menace in th‘s locality in the past two years, and if left unmolested this year would likely cause a big loss to the farmers and ranchers in this locality. The action of the com- missioners is to take necessary meas- urers to prevent such a result. As to the benefits accruing from the grasshopper poison, the Bighorn Basin country in the vicinity of Basin provides a good example. Approxi | mately $8,000 was spent there last jyear to fight the hopper. Question- naires were sent out among the farmers using the poison, asking |them what they estimated was saved to each of them through use of the polson. There estimates agkregated $135,000, saved, and for a cost of $8,000.
