recreation and sightseeing travel ever known. It
has been crowding the mountain and coast re-
sorts of the Pacific all summer. It is now taxing
to the utmost the eastbound carrying facilities of
the transcontinental roads. Europe's former an
nual harvest from American travellers Of near
5000, 900 has for once been turned back and
ploughed in, and largely in the great Far West.
The ancient in human experience and con-
struction and destruction will always have a
charm and an educational value appealing ire
sistiby to the native of the New World The
end of the war will see a resumption of Ameri-

than ever But this reversion of that travel
even for only season or two to broadening
view of and acquaintance with that mighty en-
pire west of the Mississippi, which is the product
of hardly more than generation of Eastern pio-
neering and upbuilding, must be of vast national
benefit. For this experience the East will know
its West and the West the East as not before,
and the net profit for national unity will be
incalculable.

THE KING AND HIS BROTHER

|
Meta waited a minute and then she
sprang toward the wand, and In an
other instant the dragon sprang to
his feet and shot out fire from his
eyes.
Poor little Meta thought it was all
over with her, and she closed her eyes,
but when nothing happened she open
ed them again, and to her surprise, in
stead of the fiery dragon, there stood
before her a handsome youth, who
| bowed before her and presented to her
| the wand she had come for
You are a brave girl" he said
You have saved me from a dreadful
fate and here is the wand for which
you came. What do you wish to do
with it? Perhaps can help you"
Meta was so overcome with fright
and surprise that she had to sit down
before answering, SO the youth sat
down beside her, and after a while
Meta told him her story.
Poor girl" said the youth, your
story is as sad as mine. was changed
into the dreadful dragon you saw and
given the wand to guard. l could
never be restored to my own shape
until young lady came for the wand
1t might be taken from me by some
one else, but l could not be changed
from the shape of the dragon unless
the young lady came.
"Of course. l never expected to be
saved because / did not think any lady
would ever dare come near me or even
attempt to get the wand.
But come, we must not waste time,
we must rescue your poor father, and
we will know the tree because it will
moan and sound like the wind. Lis

"The sound comes from this direc-
tion," said the youth. Follow me and
we soon will have your father re.

"Oh! cried Meta, where is my poor
father? He is not safe, where is he?"

err" said her uncle. ''If am not mis-
taken he has brought all this trouble
upon me. He was not a prisoner in
the tree; it was |. While he, I am
sure, is sitting on my throne"
The youth followed Meta and her
uncle to the palace where Kato was
giving a feast in honor of his being

When he saw his brother. the right
full King, and Meta beside him he
threw up his hands and with a loud
cry fell to the floor, and when they
took him away he began to talk about
the tree that was a man and the toads
walking like children. He had gone
mad and never knew anything after
that night The King was so grateful
to Meta for rescuing him that he made
her his heiress, and when he died Meta
became Queen, and the youth who had
been changed from a dragon married
Meta and became King.
The old miser, when he did not get
half of the kingdom he was promised,
went to the cave of the dragon, and
when he found the dragon had dis
appeared and the wand with him, he
went to the witch for help, telling her
to change Meta into a toad at once
and he would take her to the palace

dragon had disappeared she gave a

Seeing America First.

Under this caption, the New York World edi-
toriay praises the decision of persons in the East
to visit the West and the residents the Pacific
slope to travel Eastward. No one denies the ad-
vantages of travel. It broadens ones conception
of the grand country in which we live, arouses
our patriotism, brings us closer together.
The World should have amplified the caption
to say Seeing the Western Hemisphere First .
The war in Europe has curtailed the tours which
in former years took thousands Of America to
Europe there to see an old civilization and what
remains of the handicraft and work of the men
of former centuries.
Now hundreds of Americans are seeing North
America. Alaskas wonders are being visited
parties are going to Cuba and the islands to the
south; many are taking trips to Central and
South America. They are bringing back stories
of the wonderful things to be seen in our own
hemisphere. The war has fastened an apprecia-
ton through travel Of the glories of North and
South America.
The editorial of the World is worth while
reading for those who have not seen the United
States, and so it is reproduced
This is the season in years before the war
when the rush of homeward-bound tourist travel
was most observable at the New York piers of
the transatlantic liners. It is now most observa-

about him. He will not rouse to hear

comfort you to see him, to feel that
everything is being done for him that

'Ah, yes!" she sobbed. Take me to
him, Mr.. Blaine! Thank God, thank
God that you have found him! Just
to look upon his dear face again, to
touch him, to know that at least he
still lives! He must not die, now; he
cannot die! The God who has permit

later Henry Blaine tasted the first
real fruit of his victory, as he stood
aside in the quiet hospital room, and
with dimmed eyes beheld the scene be-
fore him. The wide, white bed, the
silent, motionless, bandage-swathed
figure upon it, the tender, dark-robed,
kneeling girl-only that, and the echo
of her low-breathed sob of love and
gratitude. His own great fatherly
heart swelled with the joy Of work
well done, Of the happiness he had
brought to a spirit all but broken, and
a sure, triumphant premonition that
the struggle still before him would be
crowned with victory

PROFIT PATRIOTS PROTECTED
BY TRIBUNE.-''Nine days after the
Villa raid on Columbus the Ward line
steamer Esperanto arrived in Vera
Cruz with 1,35O,OOO rounds of am
munition, all soft-nosed dum-dum
bullets, for the Carranza govern
ment," says Tribune editorial, end
ing with a declaration that "the
American soldiers who die in battle
will be shot by American bullets"
What is news? Here we have the
self-proclaimed worlds greatest
newspaper" relating sinister news
facts in its editorial columns which
have never been given to readers Of
its news columns. If the Tribune
knows exactly how many rounds of
dumdum bullet cartridges were deliv-
cred and the exact date of delivery,
why doesn't the Tribune honestly tell
the name of the American manufac-
turer who is doing the job?
Dumdum bullets have been barred
by international law from so-called
civilized warfare" This because a
dum-dum bullet f1attens when it en-
tiers a human body and tears a gap
of flesh harder to heal as a wound
than the straight, clean hole made by
regular bullets. If any American
manufacturer has been making these
bullets, the First cavalry boys Of Chi
cago and the First, Second, Sixth
and Seventh regiment boys Of Chi

manufacturer who made and sold
dumdum bullets for delivery in Mex
leo.
The Tribune printed its editorial as
one of its many attacks on President
Wilson. One point is clear to peo-
pie who think. The Tribune has
shown them that certain American
business men are so profit-thirsty
and money-hungTy that they are
ready to make and sell dUmdum bull
lets to Mexico for the killing of
Americans. But the Tribune does
not give to it's readers the name OF
names of the American business men
who have put profit above patriotism
and preparedness.
If the Ward line steamer Esperan-
"a did arrive at Vera Cruz nine days
after the Columbus raid, and did then
and there make a delivery to the Car
ranzaistas of 100000 cartridges
with dumdum bullets for possible use
in the killing of American soldiers
later, why does not the Tribune give
the names and addresses of the
American manufacturers who got
the money and took the profits from
the sale of these 100000 dumdum
bullets? Of what kind of patriotism
does the Tribune brag when it pro-
tects manufacturers having a hand
in deal like this?

Taller In the Morning.

Men are taller in the morning
than in the evening, medical ex-
aminers for the United States Ma
rine Corps declare, and the appli-
cant for enlistment who is of me-
dunn or small stature has a bet
ter chance just after breakfast to
meet the height requirements
than at any other time during the
day.
The discs of cartilage between
the vertebrae of the backbone
yield considerably to the pressure
due to the weight of the body,
when it is erect, and expand them
selves while the body is in a re,
cumbent position
This effect may amount to at
much as half an inch in the case
of a heavy man of, say, 5 #. 10 in
in height, according to the Mar
inc Corps medical examiners.

JAILER DIES
J. X. Hetzlsr Dies From Injuries Received
From Prisoner-PrisoneY Taken
To Pen For Protection. y

Saturday night a week ago, j,
X. Hetzler, turnkey at the county
Jail in Rawlins, was attacked by a
prisoner named Howell, who was
held for robbery. The prisoner
hid behind his bed and when Het-
zler came to lock him up, he
jumped out striking the jailer over
the head with a piece taken from
the iron bed. This knocked the
Jailer down, and instead of taking
the keys and making his escape,
he stood over the Frustrated man,
striking him again and again, until
he was injured beyond recovery,
and from which Hetzler died in
Rawlins Saturday afternoon.
Howell was taken from the Jail
and hurried to the pen for safe
keeping, as he undoubtedly would
have been lynched, had he been
where the citizens of Rawlins
could have gotten to him, follow
the death of Hetzler, who was a
good man and we'll liked in Raw
Inns and over the country, and his
friends would most certainly have
avenged his death, had they had
the opportunity. In mobbing a
man like Howell, following his
crime, it would have been quite
difficult and a good deal of trouble
to convict the committee in charge
providing they did a good clean
sure job of it.

$40 Homestead Coming.
By F. II. Barrow.

The stockraising homestead bill
was advanced another stage toward
enactment when the Senate Public
Lands Committee reported it to
the Senate in substantially the
same form as passed by the House.
In view of the strong showing
made by the stockmen, who pro-
tested against the non-eontiguous
entry feature of the house bill, it
was expected the Senate Commit
tee might recommend an amend
ment of this sort. How the SEN
ate itself will view this, or what
if any changes it will make in the
provisions If the bill, cannot be
anticipated. Should the measure
be enacted as it now stands, en-
tries under it could be made as
are entries under the enlarged
homestead law, without waiting
for the designation of the lands.
The stockmen wanted entries re-
stricted to lands previously desig-
mated, but whether the Senate it.
self will take this action is now
doubtful in view of the committee
action. The bill must now be- dis
posed of by the Senate; it then
goes back to the House, where the
| Senate amendments must be dis
posed of. If the House agrees to
these, the bill goes to the Presi-
dent for his signature; if the
House disagrees it would have to
go to conference, where a joint
committee of House and Senate
would adjust the differences. The
committee recommends allowing
the Secretary of Agriculture dis.
cretion in making stock trails as
wide as the character of the coun-
try makes necessary. When the
bill may be take up by the Senate
cannot be said at this time

tee on Agriculture shows a total
of 1924 buildings constructed by
the forest service on the national
forests at a cost of 81, 103,5S9, in
Guiding 954 three or more room
cabins at an average cost OF $685.
s37 one and two room cabins at
$l98, 1,133 barns at $l94, ITO fire

miscellaneous buildings at $50.
Approximately s. per cent OF
the losses of cattle OF the national
forest ranges due to poisonous
plants is caused by tall larkspur.
Death camas, lupin, laurel, sneeze
weed, and rubber weed r respon-
sible for sheep losses, while loco
weed is the principal poisonous
plant affecting horses. Last year
the loss from these causes amount
ed to about 100000.
1t is estimated that last year au-
tomobiles carried to the Grand
Canon national monument 2o,ooO
persons, while the humber OF per-
sons reaching the canon by rail
was $4,000, or five times as many
as in 1914.
