How Arrow.Shooti ng
Act Was Filmed

A motion picture scene was produced
recently which showed an actor standing
against tree while arrows were shot a,
HIM, some grazing his flesh. The hair
raising episode was produced without
risk by acting it backward, SO to speak.
The arrows were carefully stuck in place
about the actor, as shown in an illustra-
ton in Popular Mechanics Magazine for
November, and then, while the camera
man turned his crank. an unseen assist
ant jerked them out one at time, while
the actor Registered" pain at the prop
err times, The film was then run through
the protector cack ward and the effect
produced was most startling.

present war we must remember tn
royalty is less important factor than in
the past. The printing press and mod
ern education have raised the average
intelligence of the human race so that
most any civilized nation has thousands
of men qualified to direct affairs of state.
The people of one nation after another
have come to the conclusion that royal
families should either be dispensed with
entirely or at least restricted in their
authority. Of the fifty seven nations of
the globe only six are now absolute mon
arches, and these are largely in the
Dark Continent They are: Abyssinia,
Afghan:stan, Morocco, Siam, Oman, and
Monaco. Twenty eight of the nations
are republics, and the remaining twenty
three are li-.:ited monarchies, where the
people hold the reins of government.
The great majority of the worlds popu-
lation is self ruled The principal re
publics are the United States, France,
Portugal, China, Russia, Mexico, Brazil,
Argentina, Peru, and Venezuela.
Thus, except for Canada. practically
all the Western Hemisphere is made up
of republics But the Government of
Great Britain and her colonies is in most
respects similar, and in some ways even
more liberal, than our own; and the
royal family is maintained largely as a
matter or sentiment But the English
people are becoming less liberal in the
annuities paid the royal family, and the
dowries to princesses are limited by Par
limentary action. The King and Queen
of England have been receiving about
81, $50 900 annually, and the total ex.
pense of maintaining the royal house
hold exceeds three million dollars This
figure will henceforth be reduced, and
some OF the estates and hunting pre-
serves heretofore used for royal pleasure
are being converted into farm land
The ruler of Austria receives from his
people over $4,sO0,0OO annually; the
Sultan's income is SIS, 600, 900; the Kaiser
receives nearly $4,000, 900, plus large in.
comes from the imperial estates; even
the King of Siberia receives $40, 600
Prior to his abdication. the Car was the
wealthiest man in the world. His pri-
vate estates exceed 6S0,000,060 acres, in
addition to vast fore, is and gold mines
Thus, out of the carnage of war, the
following benefits are already appearing
The people afflicted with sorrow and
burdened by taxation are less tolerant Of
imperial pomp. They are demanding
the division of royal estates into farms,
and they are well aware that statesmen
who have risen from the common people
have ruled more wisely and are more
loved by the people.
So ! would say to the New York
woman whose question prompted these
remarks: although the royal families
OF Europe are closely related, the war
has occurred not because of such kim
ship but in spite of it. The struggle is
one of democracy against despotism, of
humanity against brutality. The cost to
this gem ration is tremendous But tho. e
who in thought, word and deed do their
bit to help America and the Allies win
are helping to make the earth safer from
wars of aggression in the future and a
better place in which our posterity may
live in peace and happiness "

made of common lumber to catch
the juice rs it is pressed out. The
process is more simple than the
old fashioned way of making maple
sugar.
"Here it is-Boil your beets in
a common feed cooker and then
put them into a gunny sack. Be
sure to boil the sack first to take
out all jute and oil taste, otherwise
you will spoil your juice as the
taste of the burlap will spoil the
sap.) Then all that is needed for
a press is take a pole or other tim
Der and fasten one end solid near
the sacks and on the other end
hang a weight of some kind so it
will gradually press out the juice.
The juice is then boiled down in
any kettle. By this process you
can have all your sugar and syrup
with scarcely any cost. This is
what is known as the old German
process and L have had personal
experience aud know that sugar
can be obtained by this system
This should be a great help in
these war times"

High Water at Casper.

We had been wondering what
became of the enormous quantities
of water passing through Saratoga
lately in the Platte river channel,
and it seems that Casper has some
of it, according to the following
item from the Casper Press
The Platte river is the highest
in years. The water at the Path
finder dam is running four feet
over the spilIway, but a report
from that section is that every
thing is secure, and reports that

We Like Wyoming.

A Missouri paper handed us this
week gives many narrowing details
OF a cyclone which struck the town
of Richmond, in that state, on the
9th of this month. Among other
things, the article mentions the
experience of a man named Samuel
NEWMAN, a farmer living on the
outskirts of Richmond. Seeing
the tornado coming, Mr.. NEWMAN
and his family took refuge in his
cellar The Richmond paper says:
1.-THE modern residence of eleven
rooms vas totally destroyed, the
outbuildings, big barn, orchard,
aud everything was scattered to
the four winds. The house was
swept from over their heads, two
apple trees and loads of rock and
other debris were piled in on them
The clothing was torn from some
of them and all we're more or less
bruised, but none were seriously
hurt"
Continuing, the paper states
that MI. Newham's vest was found
next day in an adjoining county,
forty miles distance, a deposit slip
in the pocket identifying the gar
ment, while his pants we're found
in the vicinity of Plymouth, Mo-,
some twenty miles from Rich
moud.

1t seems to us that the Platte
Valley is a pretty good place to
live for at least two reasons-the
fishing is good and we are outside
the cyclone belt. Elsewhere in
The Sun appears a report of a
Missouri cyclone which recently
did much damage in that state,
and which tells of a resident of
that section who, although he sur
vived the storm, came out of it
minus the majority of his cloth
ing, his vest being found forty
miles away and his pants twenty
miles from where he found him
self after the passing of the storm.
1t is fortunate that we live in
Wyoming, where cyclones are I'M
known. For a newspaper man,
who seldom has more than one
vest, or one pants, to get caught in
such a storm, would be a c~atastro-
phe, indeed.

Almost a Fire.

Fire broke out late Sunday night
in an outbuilding at the ranch
home of Ben Bashore, near En-
campment, and but for the efforts
of the telephone operator, Miss
Frances Heaton, might have re-
suited quite seriously.
The blaze was discovered by
some parties travelling and re-
ported to the Encampment ex-
change. After much ringing, Miss
Heaton finally succeeded is arous-
ing the Bashore family who had
been sleeping soundly, and the
blaze was extinguished before any
great damage was done The
burned building was but a short
distance from the residence and
several other building and the fire
would have assumed serious pro-
portions within a few minutes but
for the timely work of the tele-
phone operator.
