A PLEA FOR A HOME.

Mrs. Harriet l.. Shiek, president of
the Wyoming State Federation of Wo
mems clubs, an organization that is
working to secure a girls home as an
adjunct TO the state university, has an
excellent article in the Wyoming School
Journal for January. The following
extracts are made therefrom:
1T is doubtful whether there is at
this time a question of greater import,
ance TO the federated olub-women of the
state than that of the education of our
girls. At the last convention of the
State Federation of Women's clubs held
at Laramie in October this question
was held as of The greatest Importance
and a committee was appointed at that
time to act Tor the federation along
this line. The specific work of this
committee was to try TO get a cottage
for girls for the university.
The time has passed when club wo-
men are misunderstood-at least in
this state. We all know that club wo-
men are just club mothers now. We
know that the spirit CT motherhood
the divine fire in the heart Of every
true women-exists whether the bless
ing of maternity has been given OF
withheld. And, being mothers, what
question is of more vital interest thar
that the beloved daughters of the statt
shall be properly educated, and edu
Gated properly.
For a girl to be properly educated
means, In the minds Of many Of us
that she be given an opportunity Il

NEXT MEETING OF WYOMING
WOOL GROWERS ASSOCIATION
TO BE HELD IN LARAMIE.
Almost Certain That Chief Forester

Probability That President Roose-
welt VIII Also Attend-Senator
Warren Heads the National.

Hon. e. j. Bell. who was elected
vice president of the Wyoming Wool
Growers association at the Rock
Springs meeting, and who was offered
the position OF president of the asso-
citation, has returned, feeling justly
proud of the part Albany county
played at the Rock Springs meeting.
and of the part taken by the state of
Wyoming at the Salt Lake meeting of
the National Wool Growers associa-
ton.
Boosted for City.
Mr.. Bell and others secured the Sc
lection of Laramie as the meeting
place for the next convention of the
state association, and also the assur-
of the federal government, of his pres
ence also. Mr.. Pinchot would not
commit himself definitely to the broad
statement, but he declared it was not
one of the impossibilities to promise
the wool growers of the state that
President Roosevelt would attend the
meeting.
Date to Be Fixed.
The date of the meeting was not Sc
lected, depending somewhat on other
considerations. If the president agrees
to visit Laramie on his contemplated
trip west next November, the meeting
may be fixed for that month to suit
his convenience. The national asso-
citation will meet in Montana next
year, and the date of the Wyoming
convention will be governed some
what by that meeting. Senator War
rem was reelected president of the
national association and George S.
Walker of Cheyenne the secretary.

Those towns that would like to take
advantage of the offer of the state
for better school supervision, yet can
not because of the unwillingness of
neighboring towns to cooperate
are in worse shape than before, as
they cannot get the expert super
vision and are also deprived of the
U. S. surplus loan. The number
of schools required for district is
too large to allow of it's practical
working in the smaller towns of the
billy sections. We believe in expert
supervision, but the experiment be-
ing tried now is too radical step
to meet the approval of many school
directors; hence a modification of
the law woul be an improvement.
If the number of schools necessary
for unit were reduced one half,

time actually spent, and there be a
minimum amount of time required
we believe more towns would be

Large Potato Shipments from Maine.

The seasons shipment of potatoes
from Aroostook county has shown
an increase of more than $500, 900
bushels over the 81 100000 bushels
shipped last year. This increase,
together with the fact that the
prices obtained were often as high
as 50 barrel, is regarded by the
growers as highly satisfactory re-
suit. The unusually high price was
brought about by the cold spring
and the unusual lateness of the
southern potato crop.

Championship Prize Fight A Fizzle.


Bill Squires, the much heralded
champion pugilist Of Australia,
succumbed to the blow of a Cana
dian fist at Colma, near San Fran
cisco, July 4, after he had been in
the ring two minutes with Tommy
Burns.
What fighting there was was de-
cidedly one-sided, as Squire's never
landed a blow. Within 10 seconds
after the gong had rung for the men
to begin, stocky little Burns had
swung his right to the Australian's
jaw and he went down.
It looked then as if the fight was
over, but in about four seconds
Squires staggered to his feet and
rushed violently at Burns. They
came to clinch and Squires put
his huge fists up to fight. Then
they broke IN the center OF the ring
AMI Burns Immediately popped
over another right and Squires went
down again. He got up in second
and then Burns swung a succession
of rights, each one staggering the
Australian until he dropped his
arms. Then Burns swung his right
again with tremendous force and it
was all over. The result, while a
surprise to many, keeps Jim Jeffries
still in retirement. He had an
nounced that if Squires won he
would meet him in the ring.

it as a faunt in her face and thus
bring to an end peaceful relations
between the two countries. Well,
