as numerous as the whole high

in to accommodate this number.
The lecture course that was
scheduled to commence in Oct.
will commence Nov. 1st. with a
musical number. the Floyd Feath
e.ston Company. 1t is earnestly
hoped that there may be many
season tickets sold as that will
insure money enough to contin-
ue these courses.
The high school now has an en-
rollment Of SO pupils. two new
ones coming in Monday, Anthene
Prolley and Alberta Parks. Since

Howard Shy have entered school

second; Miss Trumbor.s room 2
first and 8 seconds. The manuel
training department took 8 firsts
and s seconds. The grades COM
peted in school work, sewing.
baking, painting and drawing.
The school was well represent
ed at the Fair both in attendance
and in the exhibits. The educat
ional exhibit by not being on the

ceptionally good. SO good that

Better Ba5it S Contest.

The standing of the Babies will
be sent to parents as soon as the
score cards can be checked over
and duplicates can be made. It
is hoped that IN Improvement
Contest can be held next year. in
which each of the babies examin
ed this year will he eligible. The
baby showing the greatest im-|
provement within the year will
receive a substantial prize.
When re:iving your score card
take note of the suggestions that
Mrs. Bolles of Denver may havel
made. Following these suggest,
ions you will soon have a nearly
perfect baby.
The lower the score in 1915
contest the easier it will be to
win in the Improvement Contest
of1917.
The Woman's Home Compan
ion Of New York. is responsible
for these Better Babies Contest
being held all over the United

Cheyenne County Fair

Last Thursday was an ideal day
for the opening of the Fair, and
a large crowd was in attendance.
All kinds of games Of sport, and
amusements were pu: on, the
ball game between Vona anu
Cheyenne Wells was won by
Cheyenne Wells. The aeroplane.
made a nice flight in the after
noon and everything went off
nicely. Friday being rather win
dy the aeroplane did not make
it's flight, which made some of
the people think the management
had made a mistake. The usual
races were pulled off to the entire
satisfaction of the people. They
did not expect to see profession
al races, but the common farm
horse race, and they were not
disappointed. The ball game be-
tween Hartman and S haron
Springs was won by Hartman,
after the ball game political
speech by Geo. A. Carlson was
made at the grounds in which he
took all the praise for this state
going prohibition, and in the
evening he made another politi-
cal speech at the Court House.
Saturday morning the weather
did not look very favorable and
in consequence there were not
as many attended the fair as was
expected, but everything was
carried out as advertised with
the exception of the aeroplane,
which, on account of the wind
did not make its flight. The bail
game between the two winning
teams, Cheyenne Wells and Hart
man, was won by Cheyenne
Wells by a score of 9 to 16. in
favor of Cheyenne Wells.
The exhibition of horses. cat
tie, swine. ETC., was fine. The
exhibits of farm products was
far ahead of what could have
been expected under the condi-
tions of the weather this season.
The Better Babies Contest" was
held on Friday, and there were
about sixty babies scored, but
who the winning. one was will
not be known until the examina-
ton is completed at New York.
On Friday there were $50 auto
mobiles on the ground about noon
which goes to show thar our farm
ers here are about as prosperous
as compared to most other states
Take it in all and the fair was
success in every particular, The
concessions were well patronized
and we'll conducted until the last
evening. when some of the men
belonging to the Tent Show who
had imbibed too much, got into a
wrangle and were pulled and
fined by our ]. P. after which
they were turned loose. That is
one of the worst features about
the fair. is that there was too
much RED Eye" imported in
here.
The management Of the fair
deserve much credit in the way
in which they handled things in
general. everything was done to
have things go off harmoniou>ly,
and as advertised, but they. could
not help it because the wind was
too high for the aeroplane to go
every day. which was q great
disappointment TO many who had
come forty and fifty miles to see
it.

Washington Letter
BY Edward Kesting
Congressman from the third Colorado
District.

fcongress,nan from the third Colorado
District.
The opp( 3ents Of President
Wilson haze resorted to fake
movies in the hope that they
can discredit his Mexican policy.
1t has leaked out that the Repub-
lican managers have rented
Sheepshead Bay, the famous race
track near New York City. and
are conducting rehearsals OF a
''true-to life" Drama of scenes on
the Mexican border.
Boys from Hoboken and Jer-
sey City. gotten UP to look like
Mexican bandits, are shown MUIR
dering American soldiers, out
xa.ing American women and per
forming other atrocities calcula-
ted to arouse the passions Of an
American audience.
It is proposed to send this
''movie" through the country la
beled Watching Waiting" and
10 insist that the pictures were
taken in Mexico during the re-.
cent unsettled times.
Was anything more infamous
ever attempted by politicians in
the history of this country?
And this at time when peace
prevails along the border. an
American is as safe in the City
Of Mexico as in Washington
and the envoys of the united
States and Mexico are in confer
ence endeavoring to formulate
the terms of an enduring UNDER
standing between the two coun-
tries.
WAVING THE BLOODY SHIRT
Another extraordinary perform
ance of their actionaries who are
Just now in control of the Repub-
lican party is the attempt to re-
vive sectional animosities. Sen
ator Lodge and other Tory" or
ators are shouting that the South
is in the saddle. and all because
. half dozen disting lished SOUTH
ern Democrats who have been in
Congress from sixteen to twenty
years are chairmen of certain i'm
portant committees.
I thought we had heard the
last of the BLOODY SHIRT"
when the boys from the South,
and the boys from the North and
the boys from the West died to-
Reeher under the flag in Cuba
and the Philippines. But appai-
emily ihe issue is to be revived
in the hope that it will put Char
les Evan Hughes in the White
House.
WHEY MAINE RULED
CONGRESS
When the Republicans had con
hol Of Congress. practically all
the chairmanships went to the
North. for the simple reason that
there were few Republican rep
reoentatives from the South. At
one time Maine had four Repub-
lican Congressman. One was
speaker Of the House. another
was chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee. the most inn
pogtant committee in the House,
and the others were chairman of
the eommittees on Naval Affairs
and Public Buildings ndsGrount 3
Did any one in those days raise

OF course not. We all knew that

these high positions because
