To Ameliorate Japan’s Distress A friendly people of the far east have suffered a eat calamity. One from which it will be difficult for them to arise. They have been our friends and with them we have held uninterrupt- ed business relations covering many years. In their distress and sorrow they need our help. It is not for them to ask, it is for us the great Christian nation of the world to tender aid, comfort and condolence. It is for us to do this at once and liberally as befits our sympathy and ur sincerity. oval over this broad and prosperous land the people have heard with great sorrow of the ca- tastrophe that has overtaken the people of Ja- pan. They lie prostrate, their homes gone, their kindred dead, their cities ruined. It is from no fault of their own. It was an act of the Divine Ruler, whose ways it is not given to human un- derstanding to fathom. It is given, however, to us to understand the needs in such a circum- stance. It is to share with them what we possess to render their state less miserable. This we are called upon to do out of the pros- perity that has come to us. Through the local chapter of the American Red Cross help is ask- ed for our unfortunate friends. Solicitation of funds will not be made. It will all be purely vol- untary. Whatever your conscience and your purse dictate is your share, will be your contri- bution to this humane object. Red Cross officials and banks will not be difficult to find. Will our people need further urgin Outing for Aged and Infirm Tomorrow afternoon is the time fixed for the Casper Motor club’s excursion in honor of the aged and infirm. A tour in the sunshine at the most. beautiful season of the year in Wyoming. A voyage of discovery for those who have been shut in er have been unable for other reasons to enjoy the summer and learn what has been going on in their home city. It is intended as a little bit of cheer, a kindly and gracious act of courtesy to neighbors. <A little pleasure that both automobilists and guests will enjoy and treasure, to speak of when the winter’s snows gather upon the roadway and fierce winds sweep through the tree tops. The Motor club’s invitation is general. The members hope that it meets with a willing and generous acceptance, . Honor Thy Mother-in-Law. A chance remark of Mrs. Lemira Goodhue the mother of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, is responsible for the launching of a nationwide organization which is bound finally to include many of the best women of the country. Mrs. Goodhue noted the observance of Moth- er’s Day, Father's Day and various other days and having in mind her own position as the mothere-in-law of the president, jokingly sug- gested that the thing looked fairly complete ex- cept that there ought to be a Mothers-inlaw Day. ertous minded women of New England, them- selves occupying the same honored position to other rising young men of the land, and smart- ing under the unjust gibes of the funny man and the vaudeville villain, and seeking to establish a status of greater respect and consideration be- fitting their position in life, in the public mind, set about the organization of the “Mothers-in- Law Day Association.” It is now a going con- cern and its membership rolls are growing by leaps and bounds. The motto of the association is “No man may find domestic happiness unless he have a ca- pacity for loving three women—his mother, his wife and his wife’s mother.” The originators and projectors hope to induce the legislatures of the various states to set apart a day and legalize it as “Mothers-in-Law Day.” They further announce that “It is time the mother-in-law came into her own. It is time cheap comedians and humorists stop maligning her, and it is time she was treated with the dig- nity and respect her position demands. A mother in-law is, first of all, a mother. As a mother she is bound to have the best interest of her child at heart and do everything to further that child’s happiness. The writers of comic columns and the chatterers upon the stage who pull the ancient mother-in-law wheeze are simply insult- ing a woman and a good one at that, and their whiskery old jokes are obsolete and obnoxious to the world. Celebrate our mothers-inlaw and on her day give her flowers and candy.” There can be no question that enough cheap fun has been poked at a highly ne gent of the world’s population. Your mother-in- law is what you make, your own attitude to- ward her. Let’s all move over and make a place for her on the cushions. Give h day if she de sires it and heap flowers and candy in her lap. When it is all said and done the mother-in-law as been a pretty good sport in spite of the treat it she has received, and has been the making ry contin by of many a fellow who would not otherwise have made it A New Excuse The Paris Temps, semi-official organ of the | French government, asserts that the European | debts to the United States stand as the only ob stacle in the way parations and fv debt pro settlement of the re of all lem, ant | the farmer is now helping himself. that the subject be referred to the world court. | Just what phase of the question the court would be called upon to decide is not made clear, but presumably it would render an opinion as to whether the United States ought to insist on collection of the debts or should remit them in the interest of world peace. The Temps opens up a new view of internat- ional relations. According to it, if a nation wishes to spend its revenue in the support of a huge army and in aircraft competition rather than in liquidation of its just debts, the matter Ay be left to a court to decide what shall be done. The allied debts to the United States are not a subject for argument, either be- fore a court or elsewhere. ‘The money of American taxpayers —ten billions of it— was taken from the treasury and loaned in good faith to allied governments, which gave their promi: sory notes for its future repayment. The trans: action was a very simple one, although it in- volved huge sums, and is repeated scores of times in our everyday lif= The efforts of allied governments now to throw about the deal a lot of collateral issues must not be allowed to ob- scure the prin¢iple of common honesty which is involved. Are those countries to redeem their soleumn written pledges to pay, or are they | not? Raise Distress Signal One of the chief protestants against the so- called Tarafa bill for the consolidation of Cu- ban railroads is the American Sugar Refining company, whose protest has been filed with the American state department, the company de- claring that the proposel law“ would unjustly operate to confiscate the property and property rights of the protestant and that the same is discriminatory and constitutes an arbitrary tak- ing of the property of the protestant without just compensation. “The company must admit that the secretary has dealt justly in the matter. Press reports say that “it is authoritatively learned that the Tarafa interests have adopted a compromising attitude, and will probably agree to the contention of the sugar companies on all disputed points.” The American Sugar Refining company is one among other American concerns which raise sugar in Cuba and refine it in this country, while as a side line spending large sums of money in propagandizing against protection on sugar. Of course if they could get free sugar they could reap additional profits and drive the Louisiana and beet sugar men out of the market. We would not get our sugar any cheaper, be assured, if they succeeded in this enterprise. Tn fact, with the American source of supply killed off, the Cuban sugar would have the mon- opoly and the price would go up. Despite the widely advertised assertion of these seaboard re- fining companies that the tariff law adds two cents a pound to the price of sugar, the house- wife would not get the benefit of a two cent re- duction should sugar come in free. But the Sugar companies that grow their raw sugar in Cuba and refine it here, are mighty glad to get the support of the American government when their interests in Cuba are threatened. Let It Be Helpful Criticism In a letter to a southern editor, President Coolidge points out that constructive criticism does not accomplish its purpose by merely call- ing attention to that which is evil. “It must not fail to direct attention, with more emphasis, to t which is good.” The remark applies with equal force to radi- cal and Democratic editors who conceive it their duty to pick flaws in the present Republican national administration. If they do not like the way things have been done at Washington, let them suggest other means for producing better results. Former-President Wilson vetoed the budget bill, which was afterward made law by a Re- publican congress. Can the Democrats provide a greater financial success than the budget law has proved to be? Allied with its administration have been the co-operative purchases and use of supplies by the government departments, from which millions of dollars of savings have been realized, What would the Democrats substitute for that system? The Republican tariff law has brought in more revenue than any other tariff in the history of the country, while not interfering with the flow of foreign commerce. How would the Democrats accomplish a more satisfactory result? Would they change the foreign policy by as- suming some of the entanglements that the in- ternationalists are urging? If so, the people would like to know it. In leveling their attacks at the Republican record in the future let Democratic editors make other suggestions that they think are as good or better. Let them follow President Goolidge’s advice and devote their energies to the improv ment of the public service rather than to mere abuse of the party in power. Turing of the (Tide The report of a conference between Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the War Fi- nance Corporation, members of the Federal Re- serve Board, and President Coolidge, shows that while large amounts of credit, both government and private, had been made available to the agri. cultural interests of the country in an aggre- gate of between $300,000,000 and $400,000,000 over the past year or two, the tide has now turned in the opposite direction and the obligations are now being rapidly liquidated. Mr. Meyer told the president that the outstanding loans of the cor- poration which stood at $291,000,000 at their peak have been reduced to $98,500,000, the liqui- dations which have been coming in at the rate of $4,000,000 a month having amounted to over $193,000,000. The rural credits machinery of the Federal Keserve reports $25,000,000 on hand available to agricultural borrowers but with small demand. The. government has helped the farmer, and The liquida. tions indicate that the farmer is not so badly off as a lot of alarmists and radicals would have l us believe. Plato’s Wisdom Plato was an ancient so wise that we can still learn much from him, In his outline of a model republic he says: “Whereas in simple matters—like shoemaking we think only a specially trained person will serve our purpose, in politics we presume that yone who knows how to get votes knows how city or a state.

Drury, for ten years editor and publisher of The Wheatland Times, has sold the plant to Harry L. Hayden of White- fish, Mont. The new owner assumed active management Monday. For the past nine years Mr. Hay- den has been superintendent of city schools at Whitefish, Mont., resign: ing that position in June. Prior to his school experience the new owner of The Times was city editor of the Urbana Evening Democrat and the Urbana Morning Citizen, published at Urbana, Ohio, During the past summer Mr. Hayden has been a member of the editorial staff of the foregoing papers. He has selected Wheatland as a location after look- ing over a number of newspaper properties in the northwestern states, because he believes in the fu- ture of Wheatland and of Platte county. Visitation of Bugs WHEATLAND.—Bugs in count less numbers made a concerted visit to the business district of Whest- land Tuesday night. Little bugs and bugs, green bugs and black bugs, long bugs and short bugs, most all of the miller species, came down in hordes and swarmed about the more brightly lighted areas of the down town section, until their presence materially inconvenienced pedestrians, passing by the Globe and Commercial hotels, and other lghted sections, The bugs flew into the eyes of passers-by. They flew down the necks of the more airily dressed and they fluttered around until removed by the energetic ef- forts of the unfortunates.

Buy More Land DOUGLAS.—To take care of the extra tanks which {t proposes to erect, the Sinclair Oll company has purchased 440 acres of land from Amos M. Timbrel in sections 1 and 2, township 33, range 74. The amount paid is not given in the recorded transfer. Again the Old Slogan LANDER.—Florence, the nine- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Freeman, who reside on a ranch in the north part of the River- ton valley, was accidentally shot by her older brother Friday afternoon while the children were alone in the field near the house. The charge was from a shotgun and entered her right leg about six inches above the knee, piercing the fleshy portion be- hind the large bone. The wound ‘was severe and was a hole about an inch and one-half in diameter that severed the muscles and tendons. The large artery was laid bare but not injured, and by this miracle she was saved from bleeding to death. brethren dead on the sidewalks. Local entomologists are unable to account for the visit of the moths to this section. To Stage Minstrel Show DOUGLAS.—In the near future, probably about the middle of Octo- ber, although the exact date has not yet been fixed, the Kiwanis club will stage a minstrel show in Doug- las, convinced that there is an abundance of talent that is but waiting an opportunity to demon- strate the fact. Dr. L. W. Storey will have general direction of the production and will call to his aid various members of the club, It is proposed to make this minstrel show just @ little better than anything that ever showed the town. After the Fair, rehearsals will start, so that the show will be letter perfect when it {s produced. This will be a wonderful opportunity for the bring- ing out of latent genius which has never had a chance. Sleds It Back Home CODY—Jim Ke'lly veteran freight- er from Red Lodge to Lander and Casper when Wyoming was young, found himself marooned tn Yellow- stone park at the close of the road building season, without vehicle transportation, ‘With a resourcefulness born of many years shifting for himself, he constructed a sled from poles, load- ed his grub and camp outfit, hitched his string of four and headed for the lower levels. ‘The first few miles the sliding across the slight skift of snow was pleasant but he soon reached the hard road where his impovised sled ecraped it way to Cody. His arrival on Sheridan avenue with the temperature flirting around 85 created a sensation as he pulled across the city with his dead-of-win- ter outfit.
