The Festive Farmer.

Farm life is an ideal life," says
Zim, in Cartoons magazine, "es-
pecially in the story books and
upon the theater stage. The far
mer is his own boss and monarch
of all the acres that are not plas-
tered with mortgages. He arises
with the little birds, hits up the
hard cider in the cellar, then HES
him thither to toy with the cattle,
for milking at four AM. is one of
the joys of farm life. From the
milking stool he wends his way
to the woodpile and gleefully
chops up a cord or two before the
breakfast call. When the morn
ing meal is over his real life be-
gins. Blended with the buzz of
rusty machinery, song and profan-
ity, the remaining eighteen hours
are whiled away. When the farm
becomes so impoverished that it
will raise nothing but chin whis-
kers, he let's the mortgage holder
do his worst"

RAWLINS
ROUNDUP
Big Doings at the County Seat on the
7th and 9th Of october-Irwins
Will Show on Same Dates,

Rubie Rivera, one of the COM
mitteemen of the Rawlins Round
up celebration, was here the latter
part of last week, boosting the big
doings to be held there on the 7th
and 9Th of October. Rubie says:
"We are going to have a big time
and we want everybody to come
down and enjoy themselves. We
are trying to arrange with the s.
& E. and U. P. railroads to run a
through train from Encampment
to Rawlins each morning and back
at night"
Rawlins is making big prepara-
tions to show the people a good
time, and Irwin Bros. show will
be put in on the program along
with the other events and this
will make the biggest show ever
held in Carbon county. Irwin
Brothers have % cars of stock
and paraphernalia and this being
the last show they aim to make it
a big one. They will pay off their
show people and disband for the
winter after the Rawlins event."
said Mr.. Rivera. He also stated
that "Irwins are barred out of
nearly all entries"
The program is a big one and
will be well worth seeing. Good
money is hung up for races and
other contests. Mr.. Rivera said
"We did not make the purses as
large as we would have liked to,
but we made them as big as we
could" Picture shows and dane

Democratic Deficit
10 Growing Serious.

The end of each month shows
an increasing deficit in the FEEDER
al government. The president is
obviously worried and members
of the house and senate have been
advised to find some method of
increasing the governments rev
enues. One of the first plans to
receive consideration, no doubt,
will be to reduce the income tax
exemption from $4,000 to $1,000
for married men and from $4,000
to $4,000 for single men.
Under the Underwood tariff
provision sugar goes on the free
list May LIST, 1915, add this will
still further decrease federal rev-
enues. The general war revenue
bill or stamp tax made necessary
by the failure of the tariff law to
produce revenue, expires this
year, but will likely be re-enacted,
with substantial additions The
government net will be spread out
as far and as wide as possible.
Both propositions will be ex-
tremely unpopular but probably
necessary unless a Democratic
congress should ver itself and
enact a Protective tariff,
1t was remarked when the in
come tax was first imposed with
its $4,000 and $1,000 exemptions
that it would never be repealed,
that the exemption would never
be raised, but periodically lower
ed because of the growing expens-
es and extravagauces of federal
administration until such time as
clerks, stenographers, and all peo-
Pile with moderate salaries will be
included in it's provisions. OF
course it will probably be some
time unless we become engaged
in war, before the exemption will
be reduced to $1,000, but that
time will surely come.
In fact, the expenses of all
kinds of government, city, state
and nation have a tendency to in,
crease instead of decrease, and
our advice to the young man start
ing his business career now is to
do his saving while conditions are
more favorable than they will be
ten years hence.

From the long reaches of the

Harvest and to plight anew their
broth to the young empire that is
Emerging from the one time dreary
plains here on the top of the

1t is the stock show that is at
tracting the most attention, for it
is unique in the annals of cow
land. The exhibit of soil products
is wonderful, beyond the dreams
pf the most visionary a few years

Qnent in suggestions of wealth
when other resources fail, but this
year, the stock show is a big fair

animals entered being enroute to

Quality, stacks and stacks of it.
That's the keynote of the stock
show of the annual state fair.
