School Matters.

The matter of the disturbance
in the school this week is due
largely to on oversight of the
school board in neglecting to re-
quire the principal to conform to
the school laws of this state.
there is no question but hat Prof.
Rose is qualified, in sc far as the
teaching is concerned, holding a
Normal diploma, which takes in
high school branches. Probably
had it not been for outside infu-
ence and interference, by people
not interested in the school, there
would have been no trouble, even
though the oversight and neglect
of the School Board, and the
school would have gone to a COM
plete term, with no one the worse
for an over looked law. AS it is
the matter will probably be patched
up and everything come out o. k.

The New Desert Land Act.

In the closing days of the last
congress a law was passed inten-
ded to give relief to those who are
unable for some good reason to
hnal proof on desert land entries
under former statutes.
The full text of the act has not
been received by the United States
land offices, but the papers have
been giving a synopsis from which
the following deductions are made:
First. To those who have been
unable to comply with the law and
who believe they will be able to
make compliance within three
years, an extention of time cover
ing that period is granted.
Second. All those who are un.
able to show compliance with the
desert land law in it's entirety, but

RUDE and His Ma.

"Rube and His Ma" by a home
talent troup under the auspices of
the Band held forth on the boards
Saturday night to a good appre-
ciative audiance. The house was
we'll crowded and would have been
more SO but for the travelling con-
ditions of the roads in from the
ranches.
This show was a comedy in three
acts, and was about the best thing
in the line of home talents, that
has ever been produced here.
These people putting on the show
saw to it that no bunco show went,
and that the people should get
their moneys worth, and we
haven't seen a one that didn't. 1t
is often the case of getting the
money regardless of what kind of
show is put up, by some who give
home talents, but this one show of
"Rube and His Ma" should be a
lesson to all who attempt to give
home talents in the future. We
are glad to say that this is perhaps
the best we have ever seen in Sara
toga, ranking we'll along with the
very best travelling companies that
have eve shown here. 1t is with
pleasure that any newspaper gives
credit, where they can do so hcuest-
ly, and we are more than pleased
to give the Band boys credit for
their show and to each and every
one who took part in the play.
The show goes to Encampment
Saturday night, and we can assure
the people of that city that they
will get their moneys worth, if
the play is put on as we'll as it was
here. After the show a nice dance
lasted for a few hours, and they
expect to give a dance at Encamp-
ment. The proceeds of the enter
tainment goes to purchase uni
forms for the band, and the amount
cleared here will be in the neigh
borhood of $50 after paying all
expenses. The speciality of Miss
Rose and Miss Newport between
the LIST and End act was especially
pleasing.

There's Another Reason.

Collins Land Company with
headquarters in Montana, is OPP
posing the section homestead law
The argument they are using is
that it would tend to create a
monopoly in land and put the
lands in the hands of the few large
stock men. That is not the real
reason why the Collins Land COM
pany is opposing the enactment of
the proposed law. The real reason
is that they are extensive dealers
in land scrip and a 640-scre law
would make it easier to get land
and hence would have a tendency
to reduce the price of their scrip.
Again, it would put the public
domain in the hands of private
owners in a very few years and
would stop the speculation in
scrip. This would shorten the
life of the Collins Land Company,
or make them gointo speculation
in private instead of public lands.
No one need fear the monopoly of
the lands by the ~stockmen. just
as soon as the government will
permit a settler to take enough
land to sustain him in the stock
business, there will be a rush fol-
those lands, as the stock business
is more lucrative than farming
No one hears any complaints aboui
monopoly of the lands in western
Nebraska, under the Kincaid act

Operation for Bullet.

J. A. II. Bush and Frank Hughes
went to Denver Sunday where an
operation was performed Tuesday
by DIR. 1. b. Perkins, for the re-
moval of the % bullet which Frank
Hughes had shot into his head
while he and some other boys were
playing with a rifle about a year
ago.
AT the time the accident occurred
DR., Price took the Hughes boy to
Laramie, where an operation was
performed on the eye, where the
ball entered the head, but it was
not thought best to operate for
the ball at that time. Dr.. Perkins
was assisted by his brother, DR..
j. M. Perkins, mayor of Denver,
and DR.. O. @. Perkins, and all of
the bail removed. The ball had
split into FIVE pieces, and one or
two pieces were EMBEDDED to some
extent in the brain. This is one
of the most remarkable cases that
has occurred in some time. At the
time the accident occurred it was
proven that the ball had passed
through the right loab of the
brain just about the right eye.
At no time has the boy been
troubled, and even at the time of
the accident, he was never even
unconcious. Everything looks fa-
vorable at this time for a complete
recovery.

Freak Legislation.

Every year sees the introduction
of freak bills into the legislatures
OF one or more states, but the
spring of 1915 seems to have cap
ped the climax. The freak legis-
lators have run mad. Hardly a
state has escaped. 1t is the fashion
OF the press to poke fun at Kansas,
which may be depended upon to
come to the front with something
foolish in the way of legislation.
And although the sunfower state
has lived up to her glowing repu-
tation in the present session, her
companions in the sorority of
states have not fallen far behind.
most of the new laws have been
introduced for the purpose of pro-
hibiting something or other. Here
are a few, culled from one days
exchanges:
To prohibit the catching of
frogs. Minnesota.
To prohibit the use of face pow
der, rouge, hair dye or bleach, the
piercing of ears and the wearing
of earrings. Kansas.
To compel chickens to go to
roost before 7 p. m. To provide
that bulls driven along the road at
night shall wear lights. Colorado.
Providing that all weeds and
plants which cause hay fever shall
be removed from the roadsides.
Bachelors to pay an annual tax of
S. per head. Prohibiting the wear
ing of whiskers by doctors and
dentists. Mass.
Compelling the National Guard
to do ninety days work each year
on the roads aud bridges of the
state. Requiring dealers in stock
foods to pay an annual license of
$25 dollars a year. Prohibiting
free lunches. Nebraska.
Compelling church goers to
leave their FIRE arms outside.
Texas.
Prohibiting treating. Prohibit
ing the giving of tips to BARRIERS,
walters, porters, hat snatchers, etc.
Taxing bachelors of 80 years of
age, $50 per snnum Licensing
cats 81 per head per annum. Ill.
To furnish lumber jacks with
individual bathtubs. Mimi.
Establishing a uniform thick
ness of sleigh runners. N. Dakota.
Prohibiting a man from becom-
ing a ball dodger' i. e., allowing
persons to throw base balls at ones
head for hire. N. Y.
Limiting each resident of the
state to one gallon of corn licker''
a month. s. Q.
Prohibiting the smoking Of
cigarettes by school, normal and
university instructors. Wis.
Prohibiting the publication of
liquor advertisements in the news
papers of the state and calling fol
the obstruction of all such adver.
tisements in papers printed ont
side the state before such papers
are sold. Ala.

Stock Brand Record

II is necessary for all of
stock brands to renew them dur
ing this year, 1915. A number of
stock owners seem to have Il wrong
impression of the brand record,
and it's renewal. The law as it
stands on the statutes books of the
state, requires that every brand in
the state he renewed every ten
years, and starting with 1915 all
brands must be renewrd this year,
and again in 1925.
The way 10 enc your brand, is
to address a letter to the state
Board of Live Stock Commission
ers, Cheyenne, Wyoming and put
on this paper a good drawing of
your brands or brand, stating on
what spot the brand or brands are
used on the animal, either horses
or COW. If you have ear marks or
other marks, also state that fact
plainly and where such marks
occur on the animal. Enclose
with your application to renew a
postofice money order or draft,
and not personal checks. unless
you include in the check, exchange.
As we understand the law, it
makes no differint when you got
your brand or when you recorded
it, even maybe you just got your
brand in 1914, you should renew
it in 1915, thus making you safe
until 1925. Any brands recorded
between now and 1925 will have
to renew in 1925. la recording
or in renewal stockmen should
waste no time in getting these
brand matters attended to, as
there will be many who will wait
until the last thing in the year,
and thus making confusion and
lots of extra work in tbs Office of
the secretary of the Stock Com
missioners. If you haven't re-
nswed your brand yet, just follow
the above instructions and get
busy.
AS the Secretary of the Stock
Commissioners will be busy all
the year with the extra work, you
may not hear from your renewal
at once but in due time you will
receive your certificate, so don't
get excited, if you don't hear from
it right away. Another thing that
many have gotten mixed on, and
that is that they think the renewal
should be an affidavit. This is in
error. Any blank sheet of paper
will do, and just write the State
Board of Live Stock Commission
ers, stating that you wish to renew
brand so-and-so on either horses
or cattle or both, or certain brands
on horses and certain ones on cat
tie, and that the brands are on
certain places ON the animal and
that your ear mark is such-and-
such on either the left or right
ear, or that you du-lap or waffle.
Enclose the S1.50 and that will
settle the matter.
Many have already attended to
this matter and some who haven't,
seem to be a little confused on
what steps to take, and for any
that this may be Of use, we gladly
give the information as we have
gathered it up to be used by
those who may need the direc-
tons.
