T. Meredith prompted the Muscatine Journal to make an investigation of the holding, to which the Parmer-Labor advocate makes such frequent reference, “This farm,’ the senator stated, wpe Casper Daily ‘After Fifty-two Years KEMMERER.—James Chrisman of Opal in Kemmerer attending business matters, gave out the in- formation that it was his intention this fall to sell his cattle, perhaps all of them, and retire from the game that has been a losing propo- sition for several years.

The reclamation was a speculative venture, and judg- ing from the senator’s admission, not a very successful one as far as he was concerned. ‘The land may be “the finest in the land,” but it’s mostly water today. To quote the Journal: “Tt is said on good authority that a farmer ing a posthole in this particular region trikes water when down two or three feet. This d is on a level with the Mississippi river and ed to the practical 'a pumping station is kept constantly going in business of life, can look back over the list of order to take the drainage water out of the ditch teachers who directed his lessons and ruled over his deportment as he progressed, and can de- termine for himself whether he made greater strides under an attractive teacher or a plain one. very few of the former kind, you go the plainer they were.

Simply this: This state of extreme moisture and the condi- recent years that the school teacher began tO +;5). of this ‘excellent’ land, which sometimes pay attention to prevailing styles and her per-| raises ‘excellent’ crops, causes taxes, both land sonal appearance. Some one among them hav-|and drainage, to be extraordinarily high, es- ing discovered that brains, beauty and the latest pecially this year, to which the senator refers. ed a valuable asset in school teach- soot vas ignored by her predecessors who believed that severe plainness in all that went with the female of the species, was the only fit accompaniment to brains. The old time school teacher looked upon education of the young as a serious matter, She was a severe taskmis- tress. It was a crime to waste time, and an indifferent lesson usually meant some form of punishment. If individuality. was developed it was the force of the scholar, himself that did it. The teacher had only one yard stick and one hickory switch for all. Th were both applied with severity. On the whole, under the old system, it was rather a slave driving business. You survived or perished. Most everybody survived, for ways were found to make them survive. Many men and women recall those old school days with horror and rebellion. But scattered along through that school day experience may be recalled the bright spots, the compensation for the dull and drab extraction of cube root of the past, the times when the board of education perpetrated sacrilege by sending to your particular school,a teacher with some beanty and charm, one who “frizzled” her hair and wore a ruche at the neck of her dress which was cut chin high, possibly a bit of bright rib- bon or trimming to relieve the sombreness of her general attire. She would have what \ known in that day as “style.” She was ent from the others and at once became px with the scholars. They were not only willing, but anxious to please her. Rivalry for her fa- vor was rampant, and many a tough lesson was mastered for no other purpose than to appear well in that school teacher’s eyes. It was not love of learning but love for the school teacher that furnished the incentive. Children had an eye for beauty and were willing to try for cul- ture, if they could have it about them. Parents of the old school, set in their ways, with refer- ence to any such innovation as style and beauty along with culture, did not hold out long. They capitulated, for the way to the parental heart was through the boy or girl who was doing well at school. And thus was created, in this simple fashion, a radical change in the type of school teachers. The demand ever since has been for attractive ones. The plain ones then, and the plain ones now, never knew what a difference could be made by the cultivation of attraetiveness in dress, manners, face, hands and feet. They never realized witii they had tried it, what an influ ence it had upon their charges. How much more readily a child learned and how much more industriously he applied himself when he is lead by a pretty leader than when driven by a plain and severe one. There is a true incident in this state where the pretty school teacher y put to the test. Under a regime that had held for a dozen years the school board in question was controlled by a majority of Methodists. The qualification and about the only one for a school teacher in that town was to be affiliated with the Meth- odist church. That machine was one day smashed to the extent that the control of the board rested in the president who had the decid- }and a half times th These taxes, which Mr. Brookhart would have Meredith pay in return for his 30 cents, ye a very close relation to the profits to be made in farming this particular 240 acres, as we shall see, A searching of the records at the courthouse here discloses that the taxes on the Brookhart arm for this year are as follows: Land tax.. see cee cesses cece + $1,556.45 Drainage ta 1,044, Personal tax 7716 Total ..... +. $2,678.46 “This land tax seems excessive and it is, for this reason: there were so many drainage warrants out against this district, pearing 6 per cent interest, that the board of supervisors, in order to clear them up, levied a tax of two regular amount, This sum at $1,556.45 also includes drainage maintenance oe The drainage tax itself amounts $1,044 In addition to these taxes there is, as the senator ys, a $20,000 mortgage on the property on which interest must be paid and, of course, the expenses of farm operation. Incidentally, the Brookhart loan of Des Moines Joint Stock Land bank Dec. and it is 99 22, hart brothers, have been refused point blank| because of the drainage conditions prevalent in| that area.” “With all this expense upon the land, if the Brookharts can make their investment pay out,| every farmer on dry soil with but normal taxa-| tion, would be rolling in wealth. “The writer happens to know something of| the nature of the country, where the colonel does}! his farming by proxy. It would be more prof- itable to cultivate muskrats than corn or wheat in the old Keokuk lake bed. Land owners in that district have been forced to pay not only high engineering and drainage costs but court costs runing up into thousands of dollars, for there has been injunction after injunction fought. Any one conversant with the history of that drainage enterprise would recommend that such land.in the fture be set aside as fish and game sanctuary, for the cost of putting it to agricul- tural uses is excessive. Foreign Conditions There, ara mary indicetions that affaires in Europe may be moving definitely toward a ter- mination of the deadlock which has existed be- tween France and Germany over the question of reparations since the occupation of the Ruhr last January. It appears that the new German administra- tion is taking a more sensible view of the coun- try’s plight, and is urging a campaign of digging in and crawling out from under, in the only way for a state or individual to settle claims against Heretofore the Berlin government has held the workers in the Ruhr district to a policy them. of passive resistance, ‘The whole German problem turns upon the settlement of the reparations question, and un- | til that difficulty is removed there will be slow to! 5, or slightly more than $4.35 per acre.) $20,000 was secured from the! 1919} nown here that loans sought recently | on other property adjoining that of the Brook-| truly pioneer.

When they reached Bryan, now a section station, with perhaps a dozen inhabitants, it was a thriv- ing western city of about 2,500 peo- |ple, a division point of the railroad for some time, and the outlet for the Atlantic City and South Pass mining country, then in its palmy days. Mr. Chrisman came to what is now Lin- coln county in the 80s, and has been one of its substantial citizens ever since. He served as state senator from this county In 1913, and was president pro tempore of that body for two years, It was during this time that he was acting governor of Wyoming, as the governor and sec- retary of state were absent from the atate for several days. os Midwest Plays Host THERMOPOLIS.—The Midwest Refining company was host to sev- eral hundred people at their Grass Creek camp, the occasion being the opening of the new Midwest club house. | The new community home built by the Midwest Refining company for the employes 1s a large modern building with dance hall and loung- ing and readfng room occupying half of the building, while the other half is used as a billiard and card room! Cigars, tobacces, candies and soft drinks arejalso handled in this part of the club. On the opening night the Gebo or- chestra furnished the music for the dance and the floor was packed with employes of the Midwest and Ohio camps and a large number of Ther- mopolis people who were fortunate enough to enjoy the hospitality of the club management. About 20 cars went out from Thermopolis. Ice cream, cake and coffee was served the guests at the Midwest dining room, The club was opened by Col. Burke H. Sinclair, who in a very pleasing address, told of the conduct |of the clubs in other ofl fields of the Midwest”company and the object of tho club at the Grass Creek field. The employees of the company are fortunate in haying a place of this class where they may meet and en- Joy a social good time, L. L. Bech- tell, superintendent of the Midwest at Grass Creek, under whose man- agement the club was built, is to be complimented on the royal way the guests were entertained and with his adyice and guidance, the club will be a real benefit to the community. a The Curative Waters THERMOPOLIS.—Miss Susie Mo- Knelly, 17 years old, came here with her mother from their home at Owanka, S. D., seven weeks ago. The young lady was suffering from rheumatism, afflicted so badly that in order to move at all she had to be carried or wheeled in a chair. She was unable of her own efforts }|to get into a tub for her first baths. The other day Miss McKnelly, Without sasisiance, walked top of Monument. hill, one of the highest and steepest peaks here. where she erected a small pile of stones, beside scores of other piles similarily erected, to prove to the world that she is no longer tortured with rheumatism, Miss McKnelly took no special treatments. She bathed in the water regularly and drank it freely. Just before she started for her South Dakota home she told the Ther- |mopolis Chamber of Commerce of her experience and asked that it be published so that other sufferers may know.

It all came about when the woman the first week in September got a divorce from John Houston, alleg- ing “cruel and inhuman treatment. The next day she and Jack Bona- witz were married in Hardin and came back to Monarch to live. Last Thursday, she had Bonawitz fined in justice court for beating her, and since that time she ts said to have resumed her abode in the Houston cottage. 7 She has expressed the desire to remarry Houston and it all sim- mers down to this: In Montana under Montana laws she is legally married to him; while in Wyoming, lalthough she not the wife of Houston because she divorced him, because she did not wait a year jafter her divorce before she married him. | On the other hand, she can not divorce Bonawitz in this state be- cause she was never legally mar- ried to him, but according to the officers investigating the case, she is not free to remarry Houston be- cause she {s married to Bonawitz in Montana, Old Shootin’ Iron LARAMIB.—Last spring, while doing some surveying work, Forest Ranger Frank E. Henry of the Fox- park district of the Medicine Bow national forest found an old cap-and- tall pistol which apparently had some value from a historical point. The wooden handle had entirely dis- appeared and rust had made such inroads on the gun that no marks were decipherable, with the excep- tion of a number 898 on ‘the handle It differed from the original Colt’s cap-and-ball pistols in that the ram- rod was worked by the trigger guard swinging downward on a hinge, where: the Colt’s ramrods are operated by a rod which swings out to the side, The gun was sent to the Denver forest office and Chief of Mainte- nance Neeper took it to a Denver gunsmith, Lee Knapp, who hap- pened to have a gun identical with the one found by Ranger Henry. It was manufactured by Allen & Wheelock, Worcester, Mass., patent dated January 13 and December 15, 1857, and Mr. Knapp was of the opinion that less than 1,000 of these particular guns were manufactured The forest officers of the Medicine Bow forest are collecting original historical data, and discoveries of this character give an index of the time of occupancy of certain por- tions of the forest. It may very easily be that the gun found by Ranger Henry was lost by a mem- ber of the Fremont expedition, part of which, it is understood, traveled over the southern end of the Medi- cine Bow national forest on its way westward. a a FAITHFUL 006 GUARDS ITS MASTER IN DEATH THERMOPOLIS, Wyo,, Stackwood held City Marshal ter lay dead. alone with the dog. ers.
