1T Pays to Advertise"

Next week we begin our new
serial story entitled at Pays to
Advertise" This is a noveliza
ton of the great play of the same
name that has had one of the
greatest runs in New York of any
play in recent years. Its appeal
is universal. Young, middle-aged
and old delight in its humor, it's
sentiment, it's remarkable eombi-
nation of love and business. The
story touches a sympathetic chord
in men and women, in all walks OF
life. Only the very best novels
are prepared for newspaper use,
but we believe there is none to
equal this serial. Read it. The
half tones of some of the charsc-
ters may be seen on another page
of this issue.

Increase fOrDefense

The administrations defense
plans have been embodied in a
program presented by the score
taries of war and the navy for dis
cussion by the congressional COM
mittees in advance of the regular
session of congress. The campaign
for the adoption of the program
will be opened by President Will
son In a speech before the Man
hatten club in New York today.
The program for the first year
of a five year period of naval con-
struction calls for two dread
naughts, two battle cruisers, twen-
ty-fve coast submarines, five sea-
going submarines, twelve destroy
ers, an increase of 5000 in per-
sonnet and an augmentation by
25O of the naval academy student
body. Secretary of War Garri-
sons program calls for the re-
cruiting, training and equipment
before 1922 of the following for
ces: Regular or standing army,
l25, standing army reserve,
10000; irregular or continental"
army of volunteers of six months
training, 400 900; continental ar
my reserve, 100000; state national
guard organizations, 125, 1000. To-
tai 100000 men.
Commodore j. Stuart Blackton,
author of the photo-play "The
Battle Cry of Peace" which is
being shown at present in New
York, Chicago and Boston, and
later, will tour the country in the
peace by preparedness" cause,
says the estimated increases will
cost about $150,0OO,0 900 more than
was expended last year, and that
with the cost of new tasks impos-
ed on the state governments and
other branches of the government
by reason of the European war,
the amount of expenditures will
be augmented to $l,240,000, 600.
Commodore Blackton will de-
vote his time, money and talent to
the preparedness movement until
congress takes some definite &C.
ton following the warning which
is so wildly set forth in the "Bat-
tie Cry of Peace"

Bridge Collapses.

The hfty-foot span of steel
across Spring creek, a mile south
of Saratoga, collapsed Monday,
when the work of finishing the
flooring was in progress. The
beams and the stress iron on the
west side gave away first and the
bridge gradually went down until
it rested in the creek, twisting
nearly every iron in the structure.
1t was loaded with about 25 to sc
tons of green concrete, which is
given as the cause for the buck
ling. 1t is stated by the bridge
people that after the floor had set
that this would be impossible, but
the green concrete weighing much
more than the set concrete, and
lacking the tension strength, caus-
ed the bridge to buckle with it's
own weight.
They cut the rivets and are
Strengthening out the steel pre-
paratory to putting it back. The
abutments were badly damaged as
the ends of the I beams run into
the abutments instead of resting
on them, and as the bridge went
down they tore the concrete out.

establishment.

New York, Nov. 3-An anti
enlistment league, pledging all
male members over Is years of
age to refrain from e~nlisting for
any international war in which
the United States may become in
volved, is formed at 81 Quincy
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, not far
from the Navy Yard, where hun
dreds of United States Marines
are held in readiness to leave at a
moments notice for any part of
the world where American inter-
ests are threatened.
And the Marines are all 'het
up" over the matt r, too. "Tell-
ing it" to them has its drawbacks,
for, as "Johnnies-on-the spot"
they form the first line of the ma
tional mobile defense, and they
cannot get the viewpoint of the
peace-at-any-pric propagandists
who have established headquarters
close by.
THE United States Marine
Corps is up to maximum strength
this minute and is ready to a man
for anything that may arise" said
a grizzled old gunnery sergeant
when told the news. Let 'em
strike, the home enemy or the for
elgn kind, and they'll always find
the Marines able 10 give a good
account of themselves. We some
times need a few men to fill our
ranks, but we've never yet had to
call in the kind of male bipeds
who wanted to know who the enc
my was going to be before they
enlisted. The United States Ma
rlne Corps ia no place for a milk
sop, mollycoddle, or half-hearted
man, for we're always in the thick
OF something or other, and we like
to have a ticklish job to do. Look
at Haiti. No, sir, these anthem
listment people do not realize
what they are doing. They dc
not realize that an adequate army
and navy is the surest protection
against war, and the stronger ouI

Federal Hatchery.

The federal hatchery, under the
direction of Supt. o. N. Baldwin,
is nearing completion. The ditch
for the spring water is as nearly
completed as it can be before the
pipe arrives. The main hatchery
building is complete with the ex-
ception of the setting up of the
troughs. Most of the ponds are
ready for use and Mr.. Baldwin
has just completed an ice house.
1t is the intention of the superin-
tendent to be ready for eggs some
time this month, providing the
pipe for water main arrives in
time. They will probably ship in
a few eggs for this winter and be
prepared to take rainbow spawn in
the spring. Everything is in ex-
cellent shape and this station will
be one of the best in the west. If
the water and conditions prove
good for all purposes, this station
will be increased to about foul
times it's present capacity in the
next few years.

In the lower house Congress
man Mondell has sponsored the
suffrage amendment for the last
twelve years.
The Wyoming representative
declares that the states rights OBJ
lection to the measure is steadily
weakening and that with a few
more states to back them, the wo-
men can put the amendment thru
both houses of congress and make
a successful appeal to the legisla
lures.
The federal amendment which
was drafted by Susan b Anthony
in 1875 and introduced into con-
gress in 1878 reads as follows:
Administration l. The right
of citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abrid-
ged by the United States or by
any state on account of sex.
Section 2. Congress shall have
power by appropriate legislation
to enforce the provisions of this
article.

News From Wyoming University.

Statistics from the registrars
Office show that the enrolment of
students in the University at the
present time is approximately ff-
teen per cent larger than that of a
corresponding time last year. New
students are still arriving and all
indications seem to point to the
fact that the 1876 collegiate
year will be the biggest and best
in the history of the institution.
Students from every county in
the state are represented at the
University.
Work on the new dormitory is
progressing very rapidly after a
delay caused by the late shipping
of the building material. Con-
tractor Allison of Cheyenne is do
ing the work and expects to have
the building ready for occupancy
before the opening of next years
Summer School.
The University Band, under the
direction of Professor Karl L.
Steik, has the reputation of being
an excellent organization. At the
present time twenty-five men con-
stitute the band. They play at all
University games and contests,
accompanying the football contin-
gent on the trip to Cheyenne
when Wyoming met Denver.
A new development in the ex-
tension work announced by the
University is the provision for
certain regular classes that are to
be held in Cheyenne by members
of the faculty. The college of en-
gineering will give courses in con-
nection with the Union Pacific
railroad shops there, Courses in
education will be given for the
benefit of classes of teachers. II
is the intention of the University
to develop this kind of extension
in other cities of the state as rap
idly az funds will permit.

Accident.

We have been informed that
Jim Dick on Pass creek accident

Whiting about two weeks ago.
1t seems that Whiting was CON-

and Jim thinking he was some
animal in the darkness shot at
him, striking the left hip bone.
Jim hitched up his team and took

very serious. We have no veri6.
