HERD LAW cUNNlNGLY DRAWN

Let no farmer stockman fool himself regard
ing the proposed herd law that it is sought to be
initiated. Some are arguing that if the law passes
they easily vote it out of existence in their To-
callty. While this might possible under the
reading of the proposed act, it will be found that
the optional features merely bluff, for in the
last section OF the law the present fencing law is re-
pealed, and even though the stockmen might vote
the law out of existence in any section of the state
there is no provision by which they may retain the
present fence law, and they would be lust as bad
OIL as though under the provisions of the herd law
The fencing law on the statute books was passed
some years ago to procure condition that existed
which was practically the as though herd
law was in effect. Farmers were not compelled to
fence and were able to harass the stockman in ex
actly the same manner that they would do under
herd law The proposed act has been very cum
nngly drawn, and much stress is laid upon the
optional features, which in reality mean nothing
Should the proposed act pass, it means absolute
herd law conditions in every section of this state

SENIOR CLASS PLAY

The senior class play entitled "Too
Many Husbands" will be given at the
Broadway opera house next Friday,
April 21. This is a rousing good
play and the parts are exceptionally
well taken. 1t is practically the
same cast that put on "a Perplexing
Situation" last year, which met with
such great success. After last years
work this year, the senior class
should be able to present "Too Many
Husbands" in way that will please
the most critical audience. Ell Monte,
the school paper, in speaking of the
play says:
"There is no time after the curtain
rises that there is not some person
or act to make one laugh. 1t is just
one tangle after another and even
the baby just barely escapes being
wrongly named; in fact, if the Col
onel could have made his exit thru
the transom a second sooner, all
would have been lost, but the father
succeeded in saving the day by his
pluck and sagacity. OF course, in
the midst of all the excitement there
is a delightful love scene which
reaches it's climax when Arthur says:
