The School Children First.

This School District is rapidly drawing to a public meeting at
which time and place a number of items of business will be trans
acted and at which also a school director will elected. This is per-
haps one of the most important events in the community, vet it is
held by many to be of too little interest for them to go to.
The first thing to be considered is money enough to run the
school to the best advantage, and those who attend the meeting are
too often there to cut down the taxes instead of increasing them or
holding them as they are; but the first and most important object to
be considered in the actions of those meetings must be the children,
The children come first all the time. In the case of the director to
be elected, he must be considered from all view points, as to his
fitness to serve the children. Perhaps it would be a good thing in
this district to elect some good woman, a women r wont to take
more interest in school affairs than men, and then too they would be
more careful in looking matters up, as the average man is too busily
engaged in making a living than to give the school work its dues. 1t
would be well to consider some good women in this district at any
rate,
Give the children a chance, and hang the first party who starts
trouble in the school without just cause. There are unquestionably
occasions and reasons and causes, to have matters adjusted, but now
and then til too often the work of some one who has it in for a
teacher, or some other petty cause who work a hardship on the child
rem by starting something, Elect a good director, this spring and
see that the directors carry out their work according to law, and look
after the children and not personalities. The election is May 3d,
Monday afternoon, in the school house at 2a30.

County Bridges.

There has been comparison in prices on bridges in this county
from time to time, and while they are sometime partly correct, yet
more often they are misleading. In the ae of the contracts for
bridges just let, the prices are considerable lower than former bridges,
this is caused by the fact that after a long series of months, Com
missioner Day of this valley, following up the lead of the Sun, has
worked out the conditions and is now beginning to to get value re-
ceived in the bridge contracts. When it was found by the bridge
contractors, that this part of the county backing Commissioners Day,
"a not going to stand for some of their high prices, they "came inn
and we are now getting results for our tax payers, though both this
paper and Commissioner Day have had to stand considerable abuse
for our stand in this matter. The comparison of prices has nothing
with the bridges, it was just a matter of Commissioner Day and the
Sun being in position to make the difference, yet many are willing to
claim the glory. We don't want the glory and anyone wanting it can
have it. What we want and wanted was results, and we re getting il
and that is satisfaction enough for us. 1t was the expense to the
tax payers we were looking after and not glory.

Editor White Sees Pitfall.

Editor Hayden M. White, of the Buffalo Voice, sees storm clouds
in the future of the Democratic party in Wyoming, if it don't, quite
chasing the mythical Bull Moose party strength. We admire a man
man who stands on his OWE convictions, and is honest, no matter if
we are not of his faith. Editor White is one of the clean men of his
party in this state, and is right in his stand against the Bull Moosers,
as that party is a historical myth, and was only used in this state as
a change of coat for a few who wanted to follow Carey. Strange 10 it
may seem, Brother White, your party in old Wyoming has ever been
thus, and will continue B. as long as your leaders, from committees
to state politicians, follow the methods of the past, and one of your
greatest party savors has lately gone to his reward.

GERMANS KILLED BY TRAIN
Three Victims in Pennsylvania May
Have Been Headed for Bethie-
hem Steel Works.

Allentown, Pa, March 29.-The Le-
high county authorities are investi-
eating a theory that three Germans
who were killed by Reading railway
train near Coopersburg, Pa, may have
been spies on their way to the Bethle-
hem steel works, ten miles from
where they were run down. The po-
lice were led to make the investiga-
ton by finding on the bodies diary &C
counts and codes consisting of letters,
numbers and the Morse Geographic
alphabet. The men also had in their
possession sketches bearing marks
which the authorities have been una
BILE to decipher, but which they believe
indicated the location of towns or
plants of various kinds between South
Bethlehem and New York city.

Part of a Farm Flock.

consists in the great number Of
worthless dogs. The only remedy for
this condition in most cases consists in
a high dog tax and enforcement of the
laws now on the statute books. Owing
to the scarcity Of reliable help, the rails
ing of market lambs will prove more
remunerative than dairying. The farm
er and one hand can easily feed and
care for a small flock. Have a dog
proof exercise yard and roomy pen
with hard earth floor. Commence
with a small flock. GrSdually increase
as the business is found profitable.

MAKING MONEY WITH SHEEP
Cost of Raising Is Small Compared
With High Prices They Bring
Increase Fertility of Soil.

The cost Of raising sheep is small
compared with the high prices they
command or with the cost of produc-
ton of any other farm animal. The
Lincoln, Cotswoid and Leicester are
probably the three largest breeds Of
sheep-if any favor in size the Lin
coin probably has it. A practical
breeder says: eff I want large-grow-
ing lamb, to put on the market at six
or eight weeks old, will use larger
breed than the Southdown, which
might use if / was after a mutton
chop. For such lambs l am partial to
the Oxford, but the Hampshire might
give as good satisfaction" Sheep are
a good medium for increasing the fer
tility of the farm of the man of limited
means. A dozen ewes, properly cared
for, will soon raise lambs enough to
stock your farm with sheep. The esti-
mate is that five sheep can be kept
on what one COW will consume. With
good, bright wheat straw and half a
pound of corn daily, breeding ewes
and store sheep will winter nicely.

WOMEN or LILLE ARE HAPPY
So says German Officer Who Spends
Hours OF Duty Watching Them
on Streets.

Vienna.-A German officer stationed
at Lille, France, writes an interesting
letter to the Prague Daily News, in
which he speaks of conditions in that
city, and becomes quite enthusiastic
over the pretty girls and their ele-
gance of attire
When I first entered Lille" he
says, Il was amazed at the devasta-
ton wrought by our shells. Street
after street of ruined houses met my
gaze, but, nevertheless, the inhabitants
are happy and gay.
II marvel at the elegance of the
women of Lille. In the Rue Rationale
there is every afternoon a regular
parade of women the like of which 1
have never SEEN. Low shoes appear
to be the fashion-shoes of a gold
en- bronze, with marvellous stockings.
For hours / sit in the cafe of the
Restaurant de Strassbourg and watch
these elegant women. They are gay
and happy, despite the fact that the
roar Of cannon is constantly heard,
and their demeanor is such as if there
was no such thing as a dreadful and
horrible war right in their midst"

PROPER TIME TO WEAN COLT
YounGster Should BE Accustomed to
Eat Hay and Grain Before Re-
moval-PUt Mare on Dry Feed.

The colt should be allowed to re-
main with the mare until it has be
come accustomed to eat grain and
hay before it is weaned. In nearly
all cases it will be best to feed the
mare for at least several weeks be-
fore the colt is removed with ground
oats and wheat bran.
Give the mare a rOOmy, well-bedded
box stall, so the colt can eat beside
her. This is one of the easiest. and
quickest ways of teaching the colt to
eat
Give the colt good blue grass and
white clover pasture, but put the mare
on dry feed. This will help to dry
up her milk without causing a swollen
uddeT.
While it is not necessary to par
ticularly push the growth of the colt,
it is very essential that a steady
growth be maintained and generally
it will pay to feed a little grain, I'M
less the pasture is unusually good.
Ground oats and wheat bran, say one
to two pints per day, fed dry will pro-
mote growth of bone and muscle and
a weIl-devel5ped healthy animal.
Corn is not suitable food for a
young growing animal.

WORSE OFF THAN COLLEAGUE
British Indian Army officer Not Well
Treated in Matter Of Pay and
Allowances.

London When all the deductions
ordered have been made from the IN
fortunate Indian army officers pay"
says London Truth, ''it will be found
shat in many cases he is positively
worse off than his British army col
league, inasmuch as he is not entitled
20 draw field allowances, and this in
face of the fact that the majority of
Indian officers are married, and have
had to break up their homes in India
and send their wives and children to
England at great expense. When the
war broke out, the principle laid down
by government was that no officer or
soldier ought to be in a worse posi-
ton during the war than he was be
fore it, but the government of India
has ignored this principle, and treated
its officers in a way which any civil
employer of labor in England would
be ashamed Of"

RUSSIANS INVADE
HUNGARY AGAIN
Pass in Mountains Seized by
Cars Troops.
TOWNS BURNED BY AUSTRIANS
Teutons Hamper Advance of Enemy
by Destroying Villages and Sup
plies-Terrific Fight Raging
Muscovites Lose BukoWina.

London, March 29.-The Russians
again have smashed through the Car
pathian mountains and are advancing
on the slopes leading down to the
plains of Hungary. One column of the
great Muscovite army which is at
tempting the invasion of Hungary has
penetrated the Dukla pass and is ad-
vancing on Bartfa, the northern ter
minus of a railroad leading to Buda-
pest.
The Austrians in this region are fall
ing back on Bartfa, according to Off
cial dispatches from Petrograd, and in
their retreat are devastating the sur
rounding country and burning villages
to prevent supplies from falling into
the hands Of the invaders. Among the
villages set afire was Zbore.
Farther to the east Russia and Aus
tro-German forces are still struggling
desperately for other mountain passes.
Russ Win Lupkow Pass.
The Russians have seized the Lup-
kow pass, overlooking the Hungarian
plain, and now are engaged in a strug-
gle for the railway leading eastward
to Vidrony and then south into Hun
gary. The snow-choked valley lead
ing from Lupkow to Vidrony is the
| scene of a terrific struggle, with the
Russian infantrymen attempting to
| scale the heights and attack the Aus
TRANS gun positions from the rear.
Still further to the east a third
fierce mountain battle is being fought
for the Uzsok pass. North of the Car
pathians, near Beligrod, the Russians
have driven a German force from a
| fortified height in the mountains and
the Austrians and Germans in this re-
| gion are falling back on the pass.
The Austrians are stubbOrnly de-
Tending the Tukholka pass and have
made attacks against the Russians in
the region of Koziouwka, but these at
| tacks have been repulsed, according to
the Russian statement.
Russians Lose Rukowina..
Offsetting these important Russian
advances come reports from Vienna
and Budapest to the effect that the
Russian army operating in northeast
ern Bukowina has been defeated and
driven back beyond the Pruth river
and almost to the Dniester. The
| Vienna official statement says the
Russians were driven back across the
frontier. The Russian statement states
that in Eastern GaIicia an Austrian
battalion which crossed the DniesteT
near Jojava was driven back with
| heavy losses.
Military experts here believe that
the massing of great Russian forces in
! the Carpathians for an invasion OF
1 Hungary may have necessitated a
/ cessation of the offensive in Bukowina
/ near the Roumanian frontier.

70 Aid German War snnerers

Evansville, Ind.-Members of the
German alliance. in this city, are sell
ing iron rings at 81 each for the bene-
fit OF the widows and orphans caused
by the war in Germany. In Chicago
more than $4,000 of these rings were
sold at 81 each. The selling of the
rings is a custom handed down from
The days of Napoleon /. Then the
wealthy women Of Germany sold their
gold and jewelry to swell the war
fund. They bought iron rings instead.

one was seen to approach the porch
and nc one was seen to leave. The

FEEDING ALFALFA TO SWINE
No Better or More Practicable Method
known Than That of Giving Hay
to Animals in Rack.

There does not appear to be any
more practicable method of grinding
hay for hogs than by feeding the hay
via a good rack.
A few years ago some enthusiast
wrote a story about alfalfa tea, which
he said was the finest thing on earth;
that the tea extracted all the animal
food in the alfalfa and at the same
time left the plant food for the soil.
BY giving the tea to the hogs they
would gain their weight, and then you
could scatter the stewed alfalfa back
on the land. The story found its way
into one of the eastern publications
and the western experiment stations
have been flooded with inquiries ever
