CHILDREN GOING FROM
THE CRADLE ROLL

There will be special services at the
West Side church tomorrow morning,
at the hour of morning worship. There
are a number of babies from the era,
die roll who will be received into the
primary Sunday school. Some of the
more advanced primary scholars will
be promoted to the main school, to
make for the little tots who will
come. This department of the Sun,
day school was organized about two
and one-half years ago with Miss Dora
Thobro at the head. Under her super,
vision the primary Sunday school be
came a strong factor in the work of
the church. 1t was with deep regret
that the school learned of her remov.
al from the city. For the past nine
months Miss Florence Jackson has
given herself to this work of love
Though she will miss those who leave
her Don she will know that the Sc IDS
sown will bring forth its harvest.

Remaking Worn Out Farms,

A young farmer in Kansas is the
wner of a quarter section of land up
on which wheat has been grown con.
tinuously for % years, writes William
A. DuPuy in The World Today. The
production on this farm has decreased
during the past few years, and the
farmer knowing nothing of any crop
but wheat, asked the advice of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton and was told that he had exhaust
ed his farm by the too-long-continued
growing of one crop. There was the
need of growing of some crop that
would put back into the soil the quail
ties that the wheat had taken from It.
Even with the best results from wheat
there would be a greater profit in the
farm if greater diversification were
INDUCED in. The farm was mapped
out with certain fields in alfalfa, GER
tain in corn, followed by peas, certain
in timothy and so on, the proportions
being such as TO provide for the given
number of hogs and cattle which were
known to bring added profit on such
a farm. The exact results that would
be derived from following these direc-
lions were twice any sun he had ever
produced on the form before.
A farmer in Ohio wrote that he had
struggled for 20 years on an S0-acre
farm heavily mortgaged, but had been
unable to reduce his debt or rise above
d poverty that made the bringing up
of his family a humiliation because
of the lack of any advantages he was
able to give them. He asked IL there
was any hope for him upon the farm
Or if he might as well give up the
fight. The department requested that
he make a detailed report of his farm
and its soils, and upon this based a
plan of farming which was recon-
mended to follow to the letter. There
was a profit the rirst year of $4,000,
and the department believes that ul-
timately the despised so acres can be
made to yield $4,000 a year.

whose home is at Hanna and who is
in close touch with the situation.
The position of one young English
girl, who lost her father, brother and
two cousins in the explosion, and
whose mother and brothers and sis.

her finding a home until she cares to
return to her own country.
Will Be Ready Response.
The governor believes there will be
ready response to his and other ap-
peals for aid, and there seems to be
no doubt that the needs of the afflicted
will be met as far as money can be
made to do this. Hanna is doing its
full share, through the relief commit
tee and through the secret societies,
and the people of the state will loose
their purse strings, the officials be-
lieve, as seldom before in the face of
the terrible calamity that has visited
the suffering community.
Banks Will Receive.
mdyoT opdiuihS stated mat DOtn the
Albany County National bank, Of which
he is the cashier, and the First Ma
tional bank, Of which A. C. Jones is the
cashier, will receive and forward funds
for the relief of sufferers. The Repub-
lican will also undertake to send what,
ever contributions are received. A
citizen this afternoon called at the
Office and stated that he had beer slow
to proffer help, as until yesterday af.
ernoon nothing had been said of re.
ceiving funds to be used for the pur.
pose. He left S. and that was added

CONVERSE SHERIFF is
SUING THE COUNTY.

Sheriff Messenger sues the county
for about $340, which case will be
tried this term, says the Douglas
Budget. In justice to the gentleman 1t
may be said that this is purely a ques-
ton of Interpretation of law, and to
determine whether or no he is entitled
to certain fees collected on inspection
of horse shipments. During his two
terms he has turned n these moneys
to the county treasurer; but some
time ago learned that other sheriffs
were retaining them. AS a matter of
fact, only two of the thirteen sheriffs
in the state have accounted for these
fees, and good legal advice contends
that they are not county funds but be.
long to the officers making the inspec-
ton. Mr.. Messenger says he feels that
If the money which he has turned in
to the county is his, he should nave it
TO which everybody will agree, and
to determine which this suit is brought,

glass of water she found him gasping
and his eyes showing the approaching

to his bed, lifting his head in her
arms, but he did not speak and only
breathed once, her arms being about
him at the moment. Mrs. Schilling was
alone in the house, but she hastily
summoned DR.. Ballard, the physician
responding and announcing that his
patient had probably been dead from
the moment his daughter reached his
side.

purpose.

personal appeal to the people of Wyo-
ming, asking them to contribute as
extensively as their means will permit
for the relief of the widows and faith
erless children of the late mine disas-
ter at Hanna.
The condition of the dependent
women and children should appeal to
the sympathy of all benevolent people,
and there should be a generous answer
to this request for assistance. If all
the people will give a little the pres
sure of want would he lifted at once.
How to Forward Funds.

will increase rapidly and become a
most important one in every way.
Timber Area Cut Out.
4. In the fall of 1906, the authori-
ties of the Medicine Bow forest re-
serve advertised for sale 165, 900 900
feet of timber, taking in the country
along the Douglas creek and its tribu.
%taries, and upon which many mines
and mining claims were being devel-
oped, and which section was largely
also depended upon by ranchmen for
their supply of poles, logs, wood, etc.
A committee of the club wrote and wir-
ed protests to the forestry bureau and
the president against this action, and
the committee went to Walcott to
meet Mr.. Pinchot for the purpose of
having the area of timber cutting so
restricted as not to interfere with the
wants of the miners and settlers. This
effort was entirely successful and re,
suited in having the principal timber
area along Douglas creek cut out of
the proposed sale.
Big Laramie Waters.
5. In the same year a committee
was also appointed by the club to look
up the available water and storage IA
cilities on the Big Laramie river. The
committee caused some surveys to be
made nj a report was prepared and
presented to the reclamation bureau

vertising fund to enable Mr. Charles
Camp of Greeley, Colo, to procure

characteristic of the industries and re-
sources of this county and other 10.

month OF August OF this year, N
