it," he would die of pure fright. The
spirit Of Doing is ever his nemesis
which. he must constantly dodge
with the help of worn-out excuses
in order to justify his ingenious
lodges to avoid Doing; and too, he
is wholly self-convinced that the
rest of the world believes in his re-
signation and desertion to the ranks
that toll not, neither do they spin"
But what pity that all his ingenu-
ity and energy is sacrificed upon the
altar of idleness, when with the
same forces diverted into channels
of thrift and doing, he would be
winner of laurels and medals in the
field of doing that would surround
him as heavy snow-storm.
1t is only a counterfeit charity
that sacrifices anything upon the al
tar of unexpected return.

Guiding all white and blue rays of
light, and using only those of orange
and red to work by, no image is
observable, but the instant the prop
er chemical developing agents are
flowed upon its surface, an image of
the photographed object appears to
view. This same principal holds
true of character development. One
cannot see the latent possibilities of
character until the forces of environ
ment and circumstantial influences
have left their impress to be devel-
oped by ones self into the outward
tangible traits that constitute human
character, and from which the world
secures it's evidence upon which to
base general judgment. Withhold
from the sensitive surface of your
mental development the things that
may develop into a "fogged'' or
ight-struck" character; choose only
those worthy ideals as focus of the
rays upon the sensitive absorption
of your nature, to be in the future
developed into a glorious picture
of worth and achievement.

Hutchins Home Burned

Before daybreak yesterday morning
the homestead house Of Robert Hutch
ins and family, four miles southwest of
Keota, burned to the ground. The fire
caught in the paper wall lining, from
explosion of some turpentins and grease
which had been placed on the stove to
warm, and spread very rapidly. Mr..
and Mrs. Hutchins and two children,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman Crawford
and three children, who were living
with them, had barely enuf time to es-
cape, saving only the night clothing
they were wearing. As all their money
and other personal property were con-
sumed, their loss is very serious one.
They were taken into the home of their
neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. Hughey Irwin;
and yesterday Keota Ladies Aid was
busy all day, sewing clothing for them,
providing complete outfits, besides much
percale, not yet made up. The Craw-
ford family, who have homestead ad-
joining the Hutchins place, have not yet
built on it, and were waiting for spring
in order to do their building with rock
and mortar. Mrs. Crawford and Mrs.
Hutchins are sisters.
Mrs. j. j. Savage, who has been in
Cheyenne for about two weeks, under
going surgical treatment of her hand,
came home for three days, the forepart
of the week.
Keota Ladies Aid will meet at the
home of Mrs. w. S. Tyler next Thurs
day. and will serve 25c dinner to the
public, from IL to 2 p. m.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman Crawford are
the proud parents of a fine baby boy
who arrived last Thursday, Feb. IL.

are being uprooted, the business that they
represent having become Improbable

the high cost of apple land in that sec

prices as $1,000 an acre, has something to
do with the chill which has come over the
Northwestern apple business.
AS the Far Northwest has been accepted
as the eternally pre-ordained home of the
red apple, it seems surprising at first that
anything should go wrong with the bust

excellent example of the French Government
in allowing cinematograph records to be taken
of suitable scenes at the front and along the
lines of communication. These films will be
available for exhibition in the picture halls
throughout the country, and as they will be
produced under official supervision, the public
will have the satisfaction of seeing for them
selves some Of the real phases of the war.
The experiment, in which the French Govern
ment took the initiative. will stimulate public
interest in the campaign in the west to a
much greater degree than the best word pict-

being at least bring us face to face with
