Permanent Building es W. Eliot, president emeritus of En ee recently that the increased ek of home building has had a more deleterious n- flence on the American mode of living than ee other change since the opening of the twentieth eentury. This is largely true, because it tends toward @heap building or decreased home ownership. Part of the increased cost of home building comes from advances in wages and materials. A large part also comes from the demand for home conveniences, such as improved ventilating, in- creased light, better furnaces and plumbing, clothes chutes and breakfast nooks. Such in- creased costs for conveniences are of course, de = Onde ft higher costs there comes sr the pressure 0! gher cos' ere eration to skimp in the quality of build- ing materials. The pleasing appearance of a house when first built may cover poor materials and workmanship, but in a short time shoddy is a telltale. What should be of chief concern, is not how cheaply one can build but how well. Permanent building is in the end the only eco- nomical building. Shoddy construction means quick deterioration. It may result in a large scale cheapening of neighborhoods, loss in prop erty values and greatly increased costs of muni- cipal government, because of an unnecessary spread of population to outlying districts. Building for permanence is an important ele ment in keeping property values stable and neighborhoods up to high levels. As Dr. Eliot suggests, public education should do its part to warn builders of the inevitable cost of the shoddy. The Sane Solution Many Casper people know and admire Fred R. Marvin. He was formerly editor of the Rocky Mountain Banker and has frequently visited here. Lately he has joined the staff of the New York Commercial and is prosecuting a general campaign against industrial disturbers and those who would tear down American. institu- tions and set up thelr place theories and ideas born out of the ignorance of the lower orders of owe Marvin, writing from Great Falls, Mont., calls attention to the fact that Montana is not, a8 so many seem to think, purely a mining state. On the contrary he states that it has “exception- ally rich agricultural resources,” which, when fully developed, will support a great population. ‘Wheat, however, has been the principal crop up to date, and wheat, under present conditions, is not a paying crop. Clever agitators have taken advantage of this fact to seck to create dissatis- faction among the farmers and to induce them to adopt socialistic ideas, To some extent these loud-mouthed, smooth-talking, plausible soviets have been successful in catching the fancy of the farmers. Fortunately, however, sober second thought has convinced the majority of them that the pan- acea proposed by the demagogues is worse than the ills which they propose to remedy. They realize that price guarantee is not the proper remedy for once applied, it would extend to other than farm products and would simply re- sult in a system of general price-fixing, Thus incentive to enterprise and activity wonld be| larg'!y destroyed among a large perventage of the pegple. Mr. Marvin quetes in full the statement of a \the ra |States. It will pay to raise hogs, cattle, sheep, jand a farmer is foolish to waste his time on the |latter. Tt pays to raise sheep, both for the wool Montana farmer, who, in a racy manner, states | his own point of view and experience. This! farmer admits that he, on the start, was taken with the idea of government assistance. He wanted the government to buy his wheat “at a) darn god price,” as he puts it, also wanted it! to pay his threshing bill and to send a govern: | ment truck to haul his wheat away. But he soon awoke to the folly of too much pateralism on the | |Part of the government, and cuneluded that rais- ing wheat was a lazy man's job, as it requires in all only about four months out of the year to raise and dispose of a crop. The rest of the time was spent in idleness if only wheat was raised. He concluded to help himself, instead of depend- ing upon Uncle Sam, so he now raises other crops in addition to wheat, raises cattle, hogs and poul- try, and sells his cream to a dairy. The result is that he owes nothing at the bank and that he is fairly prosperous. This farmer has already done what we have | been advising farmers in general to do, that is to diversify their activities and not to depend upon ising of wheat alone. All kinds of live- stock can be raised anywhere in the United poultry and horses. All of them will more than repay the effort. The price of good horses was never before so high as now, nothwithstanding the many automobiles and tractors. It costs no more to rear n good horse than to rear a scrub, and the mutton. Tt should not be necessary for ue to import a pound of either. It also pays to raise a variety of crops and to practice crop ro- tation. The Art of Sitting Down This is the title of a contribution by a writer in the Atlantic. The burden of the article is that one cannot get the most out of iife either run- ning or standing. One must know how to sit down. Only thus can one acquire that under- standing and wisdom which are necessary for It Happened In Wyomin Matters and Things, of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned in, Written, “Wyoming” Fall 2 ‘The corn is turning yellow, The fields have lost their green, The pumpkin's growing mellow, And its close to Hallowe'en. he snow is on the hillsides, a ‘The land is clod and drear;_ On the roundup the cowboy rides, For shipping days are here.

The ground is hard to plow. the true enjoyment of living. With no small skill the author shows how this is developed in France and cites numerous examples of French- men who haye mastered it— the old coachman, French compositors and certain shopkeepers. That we do not have it in this country goes al- most without saying, although we have developed in its place a technique of loafing which some idealists mistake for the fine art. But now comes another Frenchman to show that this art is altogether lost, even in France, and to bewail the fact that no longer will the Frenchman take the time to sit down, nor will he give himself over to the peaceful observation of the world rushing past him which used to be so fruitful. He points out lugubriously that be- tween the state of perpetual agitation in which the post-war Frenchman continually remains and various forms of mental and moral collapse there is but an insignificant line of demarcation. 4ife becomes daily more hectic, and disaster looms ahead. The French author does not point to some more distant land as the sanct y of this lost art. It is perhaps just as well, for even had he referred us to the Buddhists we should prob- ably sooner or later have read that the follow- ers of Gautama no longer know how to sit down. Didn't the ancient Romans complain about the noise and rush in their day, and did not the Roman fathers shake their locks and bemoan the passing of the good old days before the roads were improved, and the new ships were built, bringing such a press of business and such a hurry to Rome? The Duty of Communities In a recent congress devoted to prison reform it was developed that seventy-five per cent of all cases before the criminal courts the offenders were under the age of twenty-one. Among the better ideas of forestalling juvenile delinquency, were the ones most frequently suggested in the past, the extension of community system actiy- ities, like the establishment of playgrounds, community centers, to provide opportunity for clean and wholesome recreation, the extension of the Boy Scout and Girl Scout movements and the interest of adult organizations in the boy and girl of today, who may be the criminal of to- morrow. To provide clean home life free from dirt and overcrowding that makes decent up- bringing difficult if not impossible. Combat sus- pected inherited tendencies with environment and in nine cases out of ten the victory is easily attainable. These efforts. present the most fertile field for philanthropic, civic and Christian endeavor there is in American life. Tlliteracy, which is prevalent in a far greater degree than is generally suspected should be eradicated by the provision of more schools and a stricter enforcement of compulsory school at- tendance, by the absolute prohibition of employ- ment of minors of school age. To the suggestions made may well be added the {forbidding of sale of revolvers by federal stat-} ute, exception being made only in rare individual cases on special. permits. Then there comes pressing for solution the liquor prohibition problem. Liquor being always a fruitful cause of crime and law evasion. The widespread breach of prohibition laws among otherwise lawaviding citizens tends to create contempt for all law. The young are quick to sense the situation and if elders disobey what {may be expected from the young? With reference to this particular cause of crime those who have made a study of the ques- tion have reached the conclusion that if the pro- hibition law cannot be enforced in the future more effectually than in the past it were better to acknowledge frankly ita unenforcibility, and to change the law to a more liberal interpreta- tion or system of prohibition capable of enforce- ment, There is no such thing as a single crime prob- lem to be settled by a single prescription for its cure. There is an individual problem in each case of crime committed. While adult cases should in no sense be neglected, the hope of per- manent reform is remote in comparison with what may be expected to result by applying pre- yentive measures in the case of children. The hope of the country is always in the ris- ing generation and the generation of the pres- ent, on the scene of action should have the wis- dom and foresight to direct the footsteps of the oncoming men and women into the pathway of honor and good citizenship. Every community should interest itself in this feature of life. It is worth while. It is more worthy in every respect than making money and being able to leave children more wealth than is geod fer them. The spuds all have scal and dry rot. Its summer in Wyoming now. A hundred and ten in the shade And for the shade I pray. The crops are scorched every blade But I'll not be driven away. For I love Wyoming just the same. —Elmer Nicholas May. ——@>— Beloved Woman Passes Away LANDER—The people of Lander were greatly shocked and saddened by the unexpected announcement And warns of the death he deals; | ‘I from the cold arc Drinks were 25 cents each, with whisky selling at $6 a gallon.

T. B. Apgai and Captain Thomas, Wyoming n: tional guard officers who inspected Troop B, local cavalry unit, at the troop headquarters on West Smith street expressed themselves as hig’ ly pleased with the troop, property and the conditions of the quarters. Captain Thomas, who,is senior inspecting officer of the etate, said that considering the recent organt- zation of the troop it is as good or better than any other troop or com- pany in the state, and the property room better than any other. Captain Apgar expects to remain in Sheridan probably for several months as instructor. Six new Browning tomatic rifles and 99 new Colt automatic pistols arrived ‘Wednesday, Twelve of the rifles are now on hand. Rushing Construction RAWLINS—Work is Progressing very rapidly this week on the new building being constructed at the corner of Fourth and Buffalo streets by the First National bank. Owing to the failure to receive material, work has been delayed for the past few weeks on this building, but now with practically all ma. terial on hand construction will un- doubtedly progress rapidi; Contractor Hansen states that he expects to have the building en- closed within 30 days so that bad weather afterwards will not inter- fer with the work.

Hatchery Troubles Adjusted LARAMIE—The last obstacle in the way of removal of the fish hatchery from its present site | @t Soldier Springs to the new site near Red Buttes was removed yes- terday, with the acceptance by the state of the joint contract between the state and city, and work, al- ready begun by ono of several con- ractors interested in the job—the Scott-Craig Lumber company—may now proceed without fear of mis- understanding later on. Assent to the contract was obtained by Mayor Thurman W. Arnold and City At- torney M. Corthell, announce- ment of whose trip to Cheyenne was made by The Republican. Engineer Himer K. Nelson whs working today on plans for the pipe li intended to collect whter for the hatchery from a group of 17 springs about one-half mile from the hatchery site. The contract for installation of these lines was re- cently awarded to D. S. Reid on a bid of approximately $7,000. Killing On Snake River | RAWLINS—J. W. Peeler, an aged homesteader living near the old Powder Springs below Baggs, was killed late Wednesday night at the hands of Clyde Patterson, a rancher on Sand Creek, 14 miles from Baggs The tragedy is said to come as the climax in a feud of several years duration, Word received by The Republican a few hours after the murder took place is very scanty of detail. It is known! that Peeler visited the ranch of Patterson sometime be- tween dark and midnight on Wed- nesday, and that he was killed at that place. Immediately following the murder Patterson went to Baggs from which point he phoned to Sheriff Sanders, giving himself up. He was at once taken into custody by a deputy sheriff at Baggs, where of the death of Mrs. .Virgil H. Stone, | ——___ ee The National Cash Register Co. which took place at St. Joseph's hospital, Denver. The relatives and friends of Mrs, Stone, who knew of her operation at Denver, had been led to believe that her recovery was only a question of a short time, and the news of her demise was a lesson brought home to all of the uncertainty of life. Mrs. Stone was taken to Denver about five weeks ago by Mr. Stone for an operation, which took place the first of last week. The opera- on was said by the surgeons in charge as being successful, and her recovery practically assured, which seemed true until within a few hours before the end came, the death being caused by a complica. tion, which the doctors had not an- ticipated. The passing away was sudden, and Mr, Stone whs called in time for the end. ‘The remains were brought back to Lander for interment by Judge Stone, accompanied by Mrs. Park C. Hays. Mrs, Stone was born in Sodus Point New York, January 25, 1867. and she was married to Virgil H. Stone, October 6, 1884, at Grand Island, Neb. They had two children, both living, Florence Stone Dugan of Lander, and Lewis J. Stone of Garden City, Utah. Mr. and Mrs. Stone, with their family moved to Lander in May, 1904, since which time they have been closely identified with the moral and social progress of our community. Mrs. Stone was a much beloved woman, especially to those who were fortunate in possessing her friendship, She had those valued qualities of love and gentle. ness and kindness, and in her daily life radiated loyalty and sacrifice for her family and friends, The deceased was one of the charter members of the Congrega- tional church of Lander, and a mem- ber of several of the women's clubs of this place, among which are pos: sibly two of the oldest organizations of the kind in Lander, namely, the Dinner club and the Little Thurs- any club. The community and the state wit! sympathize with Judge Stone and his children in the loss of an ex emplary wife and mother, and wil! trust that God in His infinite wis- dom and love will lghten their burden. Old Time Record DOUGLAS—An interesting old ledger, the property of B. I. C, Schneider of Douglas, was last week donated by him to the Wyoming Historical Society and will prove a valuatie addition to the exhibit of the soctety. The ledger originally belonged to the Sutler's store at old Fort Fetterman when the post was garrisoned by United States troops. It contains a record of the sales at the store for the year 1876, 47 years ago, and apparently the owners did a business that would enable ft to qualify as «a department store. Everything was carried in stock, from thread to cordwood, and the prices in many instances were tess than they are today, although the post was 200 miles away from a railroad and the manufactured goods had to be freighted in by bull teams. Many familiar names apepar on the list of customers, including John Hunten of Fort Laramie, George Powell, the late Captain O'Brien of Dough and many others, The store, in addition to its line of dry goods, groceries and miscel- laneous goods, did a« lucrative liquor business, Its best customers along this line were some of the officers of the garrison, whose names fre- quently apepar on the list, but the soods from this department appear to have been generally popular, Branch Office, PHONE 45 Henning Hotel CASPER, WYO.
