TROUT! FRIED
n in CAMP OVENS
Two Days Rip-Roaring OLD Time at En-
oampment August 9Th and 9Th.

A week from today and tomor-
row, Encampment will celebrate
the End annual fish fry. That is
going to be some fry, too, by the
way. Don't ask US to attend
to any business on them
two days next week cause we
won't be to home, to nobody.
We're going 10 be up there filling
both sides of our faces with fish
and other good things at the open
air dinner, and taking in the ev-
ents, among which is the bucking
contest with a 5000 purse, $l25,
$50 and S25.
The fishermen of Encampment
are just fishing their heads off
getting a car load of fine old Wy
oming trout, and they are going
to feed every mothers son that
arrives in that city on both days
at moor with the best fish fry
ever heard of, and all of the fix
ings.
On the afternoon of each day
~ have a good program to en-
teftain you with while you are d.
costing the fish. If you miss this
celebration you are going to miss
the time of your life.
Judging from what we have
heard, there won't be so much as
a small dog left in Saratoga, if
they can find room up there for
walking. We understand there
will be special trains, automobiles
and hand cars to transport the
people each day. SO what's the
use? just shut up shop and we
will go and cat them out of house
and home and make them twice
glad: glad when we arrive and
gladder when we leave.
A lot of those old timers up
there are running the mess, SO
look out, for the lid is off for all
the fun and good time you can
think of and we guarantee there
will be no disappointment if you
go. Two days, more or less, of
real fun will make you live just
that much longer, and remember
you will be a long time asleep af-
ter Gabriel blows his horn.

typographical Errors =.

Every week this paper, and ev-
cry other paper in the country,
has a number of errors-typogra-
phical and otherwise. That's one
of the reasons a good many pep
pie think the editor should have
been a blacksmith. But what of
the editors viewpointp If there's
one thing better calculated to
turn rosy youth to dodder- old
age than, for instance, to get death
notices and weather predictions
mixed so that the darned thing
comes out in the paper: "Mrs

Contest Closes Saturday.

The piano contest of the Pilon
Nero. Co.'s profit-sharing sale will
close Saturday evening at 9 p. M,
when all votes must be in. The
sale has been a far beyond
the expectations of the Pilon peo-
pie and has netted them large re-
turns for their efforts. The fine
piano will be awarded Saturday
evening after the votes are count
ed. Great interest is being taken
In the contest and many leaders
are struggling up and down at the
head of the list, first one ahead
and then another, and it looks
like it would take considerable
over 100000 votes to win even
the dishes, which are second
prize.
Efforts are keen for each candi-
date and it has been a constant
struggle for votes all this week,
Many are holding votes until Sat.
urday morning in order to place
them where they will do the most
good.

grees in the shade and with ris-
ing temperature tomorrow" well,
we'd like to know what it is. May
be you think it pleasant to walk
down the street and hear some
grinning idiot with a head like a
German pancake and a brain like
an added egg holding up the
sheet to caustic criticism and the
editor to CONSCIOUSNESS scornl
Maybe you think it nice to hear
some member of the fam
lily remark that the editor must
make up his paper with a shovel!
Or some Pinhead Percy wonder
why the editor doesn't learn how
to set type! No doubt you think
it excrutiatingly delicious when
an item announcing that Miss
Merry Merryvale is to be led to
the altar gets into the paper as
lied by a h~alter!" Funny, isn't
it? Yes it is! 1t depends on the
point of view. Some people may
think a paralyzed man with the
itch is the height of the ridicu-
lous, but what does the paralyzed
man think about ltI We are all
apt to make mistakes. Don't for
get that. What would you think
if the editor put some of your
mistakes into the paper? Re-
member when So-and-So, who
shaves himself, came to church
with a fine patch of whiskers,
thoroughly irrigated with tobacco
juice, on his chin which he had
overlooked? And when Miss

caught the tail of his long coat
over the neck of the bottle in his
hind pocket and went down the

tention of telling these things.
As an editor we wouldn't be much
of a hair-pin if we were bent that
way. Just remember, though, that
we are all prone to errors.--Ex.

A CLOUD OF WITNESSES

The witnesses against the liquor
traffic are as numerous as the stars.
Every Keeling drunkard is a wit
ness.
Every old man, whose life has been
ruined by drink, is a witness.
The thousands of orphan children,
in homes built and supported for
drunkards' children, are witnesses.
Every family pauperized by liquor,
who would have home if the money
spent in saloons had been saved, is a
witness.
The terror stricken wives and chill
dren of thousands of drunken hus-
bands and fathers, whose uncertain
steps tell the sad story that papa is
coming home drunk again" are wit
nesses against it.
The wrecked fortunes of many good
men, whose business ability was
known to all who touched shoulders
with him, are witnesses.
Every wild, weird debauch, where
drunken men stagger against one an
other, and gamblers congregate and
harlots carry on their trade to death,
are witnesses.
The liquor traffic, like an enraged
and wounded giant, stands unmasked
before the world, while the accusing
fingers of sin and sorrow, wrecked
hopes and wrecked love, violence and
poverty, blighted babyhood and
wrecked manhood, education and re-
ligion, are demanding its complete
destruction. From every land on
earth, the triumphant armies of civ
ilization are marching against the
throne of King Alchohol. And we
march, we hear the shouts of joyous
childhood, the appeals and encourage
ing words of redeemed and suffering
womanhood, while the resolute brow
of the worlds best manhood, you
can see patriotic devotion to God,
home and native land, as they declare
in thunderous voice, "The saloon must
