Washington, d. c., Aug. 22.-In the
forthcoming issue of the American Fed.

Labor, President Gompers will publish,
with comments, replies to the circular
of the federation inquiring of the adj

of grievances presented in the last
senate and house.
Will Appeal to Citizens.
Gompers points out that the circular
stated that If the appeal is not needed,
the toilers would appeal to their fellow
citizens. He says those who are not
with labor are against it. Pleas of
ignorance, promises, careful consider
alton" or similar phrases, he says, do
not warrant labor support.
Reply by erisgs.
Congressman Griggs, chairman of
the democratic national congressional
campaign committee, replied: 81 fully
agree with you in every demand made"

brief and unqualifiedly in approval of
the labor grievance bill"
Dicks Manly Reply.
Senator Dick answered in part: u
shall be ready to support any legisla-
ton that really helps the laborers' in
t%erest, at the same time keeping in
mind the necessity of avoiding any mis-
guided action that might defeat the
obstacles desired" Gompers COM
ments: "Dick d~iscloses that he be-
lieves he knows better than the work
ing people what is for their best in
~terests."

Quiet in WASHINGTON.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 22.-While
no official statements are made regard
ing the situation in Cuba, a careful
watch is being kept because of the
grave responsibility of this govern
ment as to outbreaks of this kind.
There is a distinct effort to minimize
the affair and create the impression
that the trouble can be easily over
come by the local authorities.
Plat Amendment.
Following is that part of the Plat
amendment which relates to ~insurrec-
ton and a part of the Cuban consti-
tuition. THAT the government of Cuba
consents that the United States may
exercise the right to intervene in the
preservation of Cuban independence
for the maintenance of government
and IN adequate protection of life, prop
erty and liberty"

SHOOT ON
OWN RANCE
LARAMIE ROD AND GUN CLUB DIS
APPROVES OF PROPOSITION
OF FAIR ASSOCIATION.
State Tournament viii Be Held on
Same Days as County Fair, but on
oun East of Park, Where Trap
Is Located and Where Club Has
Suitable Building and Equipment.

At the meeting last night of the
Laramie Rod INT Gun club, at the Of
flee of the president, Joseph Lohlein,
it was decided not to accept the prop
%osition of the fair association for a
shoot at the fair grounds during the
forenoons of two of the days of the
county fair, but to hold the state tour
nament on its W grounds east Of the
city park. This decision wa almost
unanimously arrived at when the spe-
cial committee of the club reported
the result of the conference with the
trustees of the fair association on
Monday.
Arrangements Committee Named.
A committee consisting of Bert Hol-
liday, C. D. Spalding and Harry Crum-
rine was appointed to have charge of
the affair and complete the arrange
ments for the shoot. The tournament
will embrace on one of the days a state
team shoot, the teams to consist of
eight men each, from whatever section
of the state the clubs desire to send
teams, for a purse of 800, with a So
entrance fee. Other prizes will be
hung up, both in the team contests
and in the numerous individual con-
tests the committee will arrange. The
committee will take charge of the
whole affair, reporting to the club from
time to time.
Advantage of Home Range.
The offer of the fair association was
considered not large enough to tempt
the club to enter into the arrange
ments. 1t was found that the traps
would have to be removed from the
clubs range to the fair grounds, the
time of shooting would be limited and
there would be other disadvantages.
The club, therefore, will work indie
pendentIy of the fair association in
bringing about the tournament. An in.
v~itation to every gun club in the state
will be sent out by the Laramie club,
and the committee will proceed at once
to the formulation of the program and
prize lists.

 Remember that dog digests it's food very slowly, 50 should never have more than two meals a day when in health. For a house dog that gets little exer- else one meal is sufficient.
 The food should be plain, wholesome and nutritious. Above all things, says Country Life in America, avoid pre- serves and sweetmeats of all kinds, sugar, hot toast, tea and other stuff of that kind.
 Feed your dog regularly. If vou give him one meal a day, let jet be at midday; if two, morning and evening and always at the same hour.
 Let the animal eat until he is satis- fed, for if he is fed regularly you need have no fear that he will gorge,
 If your pet is to be kept in the house he will require very little meat-a
