RAISING PRoDIGIEs.


The father of Willie Sidis-remem-
Der who Willie was?-has come forth
IN print with an attack upon the mod
ern parents of modern children. This
professor father of mental boy prod
ICY says that the youth of this coun-
try ought to be in college at IL years
Of age.
The inmates Of Professor sidis'
avfary are buzzing with a ferocity that
brook no interference. When a man
gets to talking that way there is no
hope for him and the doctors might as
well give him up. He had laid down
directions for the American parents to
grow a crop Of prodigies. Heaven for
bid! Deliver US from a race Of prodl-
gtesi Mental prodigies are a bum lot
of people. A 2O-year mind in q 10-year-
old head makes a misft of a human
being.
Occasionally there are shining exam
pies of smart youngsters who are both
brilliant beyond their years and yet
pleasing and sensible in things of every
day life. But it is the rule that the
mental shark child is a gross failure
in the affairs that pertain to being a
real man in life. It's all right for a
child to be smart but it's an awful
calamity to have a prodigy in the fam
liy.-Ottawa Herald.
THE ROLLING STONE, ETC.
We hear a good deal about the IN
rest that seems to prevail among some
of the people in regard to leaving the
country and hunting up new locations
because of crop conditions, dry wealth
er, etc. We have through the years
noticed that the fellow who stays
right with the proposition is the one
who comes out all right and has a big
fat bank account in the end. Granted
that things are a little bad, so they
are in other places. Stay by the farm.
keep smiling. and you will win out
every time, for better times are bound
to come.-Wakeeney World.

Important Land Ruling

The Warren act for the relief
of drouth-stricken homesteaders
is more far reaching in its effects
than was at first supposed. In all
previous acts relating to leaves of
absence it had been provided that
ho~mesteaders must first establish
residence before they are entitled
to the benefits of the law. This
law, however, provides that all
those who had heretofore made
homestead entry r entitled to its
benefits, no matter whether they
had established residence or not,
says the Laramie Republican. 1t
therefore applies to all who made
homestead entry prior to August
1911, and all such are permitted
by the law to absent themselves
from their homesteads until April
10 next. They are also relieved
from any cultivation of the land.
in ruling upon the law the COM
missioner of the general land Of
flee says:
"Said act provided for a leave
of absence in all cases whore entry
has been made and does not pro-
vide as a condition precedent that
residence be established in order
to entitle entrymen 20 the leave
granted.
However, in cases where the
six months period in which actual
residence on the land entered
must begin and expired prior tc
the date of the approval of the sci
Aug. 1917 and the entryman fails
to establish residence before tax.

act, the entryman is subject to
contest for his failure to establish
residence, and the act cannot bt

that finely appointed, hollow cement block hotel-will be thrown
open to the public.
There is not now a hotel between Cheyenne and Salt Lake city
to compare with "The Virginian" in point of construction, beauty
and perfection of finish, and nothing is lacking in the way of com
forts and conveniences of the most approved and up-to-d date character
The ceremonies attending the opening of "The Virginian" will
include a banquet, at which many interesting speeches will be made
covering the history of Medicine Bow and vicinity in their relation to
pioneer days, and showing reasons for the present day awakening to
the advantages of the eastern part Of Carbon county.
There will be horse races, broncho busting, motorcycle races. base
ball games and a grand ball on Saturday night.
Medicine Bow. as the scene of action in Owen Wister's novel
1.-THE Virgnian," offers special attractions.
The builders of "The Virginian" are well known thruout the
state as busters and ideal hosts, and the name of Gus Grimm con,
veys at once the idea of genial hospitality and good-fellowship. Mr..
Grimm has had in charge the detail of building "The Vireinian." and
as Mayor of the town, member of the state Legislature and "mine host

Annual Carbon
County Fair A Success
Remarkably Fine Display Of Grains, Grasses and Vesetables OF
All Kinds As Well As Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Swine And
Poultry Everything A Grand Success This Year

The Second Annual Carbon County Fair ended Saturday even.
|dws of the Fair had been busy ones for the management and every
|me interested, either as an onlooker or an exhibitor. On eyery
hide one heard the most hattering eulogies on the exhibits. The
display of horses, sheep, cattle, hogs and poultry was far above what
Inv one had expected or believed possible, while the grains. grasses
Ind vegetables e g a great and gratifying surprise to every beholder
The people of the county themselves, did not know what thew could
do in the way of agricultural products until they saw the aisplay ar
apged along the sides of the Exhibition Building. The exhibits
|go and it is plain to be Seen that another building will have to be
|uoyided before many years.
The three days program of speed events was not up to the ex-
rcted standard. The frsi and last days were fairly good, especially
Eat was present. The second day some difficulty was experienced
b getting entries for the contests. Then there was delay in put
Eng the events on the track, which was incident to every day. The
will profit by this experience and in the future will ar
Esnpe to have no tedious delay between events.
At this time the Sun is unable TO give the premium list in this
issue but will give it in the next, or subsequent, issue of the paper.
This will enable us to give a complete and reliable list of all prem
Ems aud awards, which can be used for future reference.
In that it demonstrated to the people of the county what they can do
hthe way, not ouly of livestock and poultry, but what the soil of the
Eouutry is capable of doing. No better grain is grown anywhere
hap right here in Wyoming, and certainly no state can compete with
lbs when it comes to yield. Visitors from other states were loud In
of Carbon countys agricultural products.

Exhibits To Go To Many Fairs

Bon. L. A. Miller, deputy state
Commissioner of Immigration, ar
rived here from Cheyenne, Satur.
day morning for the purpose of
packing up and taking to the
State Fair at Douglas the best of
the grain and vegetable exhibits
at the Carbon County Fair. Mr..
Miller WAS very pleased with the
quantity as well as the quality of
the grains and grasses shown at
this Fair and said that Carbon
county would certainly hear from
the splendid display he was taking
to Cheyenne from this place. Only
the best of the grains, grasses and
vegetables we're taken.

Compiling Agricultural Statistics

The ranchmen should come for
ward as rapidly as possible with
the information that is requested
of them by NJ b. McKillip and ID.
s.. Crawford, who are compiling a
record of the crops of the valley
for 1911. This is being done in
order to get a basis to work from
for the information of land and

Sarat0Ga Valley Land
Co. Officials Here

John T. Fredericton and John
Knox Ballantine, the president and
secretary of the Saratoga Valley
Land Company, were up here last
week to look after the renting of
their property, the old Hugus
ranch. They have leased the ranch
to Mr.. WEIGH for three years. Mr..
WEIGH has had charge of the place
for the past year and the owners
expressed themselves as very much
pleased with his management
sufficiently so that he was given
the preference over all others in
the management of their affairs.
1T was our intention" said Mr..
Frederickson to the Sun, when
we urchased the property, to cut
it up into small holdings and sell
it to farmers for colonization pur-
poses, but since We have been here
this time and seen what can be
done with the land with intelli-
gent farming, we have concluded
we will not divide the land at
present. We will hold and farm
it as extensively as we can. Land
values are going up in this valley
and we are so we'll satisfied with
our property here that we will
wait for several years before break
ing it up into small holdings as W 9
are sure we will reap a greater pro-
fit on the investment by so doing"
Both Mr.. Frederickson and Mr..
Ballsntine visited the Fair while
here and expressed great surprise
and qualification at the display of
grains, vegetables, grasses, etc.
they found there. They did not
realize that such productions we're
to be had anywhere in the state.
They were frank enough to say
that Wyoming was going to be
"hard to beat as an agricultural
state if other portions of it could
do as well as the Saratoga valley.
They were very much enthused
with the entire valley and there is
no doubt but what they saw at the
Fair had much to do in shaping
their policy in the disposition of
their property here. They left for
home Friday morning.
